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.

Being human is a consequence of rejecting divine love-power ....

B.D. 8929 from February 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Your existence on earth is the result of your offence against God, it is the result of rejecting His strength of love, for thereby you lost all creative power and all light, you descended into the abyss, it was dark in you and around you .... You lost all knowledge, all concept of God and consequently also all happiness, which could only come forth from God and filled the beings which had not transgressed against Him. You got into a dreadful state, which brought you agonies of exceedingly great extent and for endless long time. But you must also know that the repulsion of His love power was your free will, that no-one forced you to it, that you in brightest recognition of your exceedingly happy state nevertheless had ended it by turning to him who was visible to you, although you knew that he also had first come out of God. This was an exceedingly great guilt which you had loaded on yourselves, and still there is nothing what cannot be changed again into the state of highest bliss. There is nothing that can resist His infinite love .... And time does not exist for Him, for He is from eternity and will be for all eternity .... Only everything has to happen according to the law; He cannot work contrary to the law, and everything has to fit into the law of eternal order to again become perfect as it was in the beginning. Because to have stepped out of the love radiation of God was an offence against divine order, which could not be atoned for differently than again through a work of love, as the man Jesus has accomplished it. But before it also still requires this long course through the creations of earth, where the fallen partly atones for the rebellion against God through agonies in the bound state, where the resistance against God slowly decreases, until the being then goes over earth as man, where it is to pass the last test of will to return to God in free will or to turn again to him, who was the cause of its fall to the deep. When you men consider that you cannot be happy without God's illumination of love, that you are before powerless and lightless creatures, because you once gave the light and the power .... then you will also understand that your existence as a human being is not and cannot be a happy state, for you are still under the effect of your sin, which burdens you until you have found forgiveness through Jesus Christ .... And you still have to appeal for this in earthly life if you want to enter the kingdom of the beyond unburdened, where you will be allowed to dwell in light again, in strength and freedom .... But if you men disregard this work of mercy, which Jesus Christ has offered for you, then you will never become free of that guilt, and God's opponent will succeed to get you again into his power, if you do not insert yourselves into the law of eternal order, which consists of you leading a life in love. Then you can also still find to Jesus Christ in the kingdom of the beyond, because then He will not let you get lost .... But there is great danger, and it is particularly strong in the time of the end, that you completely lack faith in Him as the divine redeemer, in Whom God Himself became man .... And then also a relapse to the deep is to be expected (to be feared). And again a time of endless agonies begins for the fallen spiritual, but which it cannot be spared to still once reach the light of knowledge .... to the illumination with God's love-power .... to lead it. But then also the time of the past will seem to it like a moment, then it will thank its creator and praise Him because of the glory, which it will now be able to enjoy. Because to have stepped out of order must also result in its just punishment, but which is law from eternity and therefore is not to be seen as lack of love of God. Because His love also pursues that fallen, and His love has also created the possibilities for it to again reach up. His love let the world come into being with all its works, and His love arranged everything so that the ascent development can take place in it .... And this love will also bring it about that once all creatures will be unmeasured happy ....

Amen

Spreading the spirit .... world people ....

B.D. 8930 from February 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you want to be active for Me and My will, I will reward you one day in eternity, because not many men are found, who are prepared to receive a spiritual material, which is considered as not provable before the world and therefore must only be believed. And still it is the most important that this spiritual good finds spreading because a happy life in eternity depends on it. Who therefore is active for Me and My will, he works, worldly seen, for nothing .... he carries out an activity which the worldly man does not value, which earns nothing according to his discretion, and yet it is so exceedingly necessary .... but which only man will recognize when he has knowledge about it and he knows it, what it is about in the end. For even though the worldly man may attain to fame and honours, even though he may gain earthly goods in excess .... everything is lost at the moment of death. But spiritual goods, which you, My servants, impart to men, also remain after death; they follow them into eternity, and with them they can work, and they will be happy. Life is so short, and still it is decisive for your lot in eternity. But men go blindly through earth life; they cannot and do not want to see what is still to be recognized so clearly: that it was not given to you in vain, that you have to fulfil a task and that you just always have to demand enlightenment about it, what is demanded of you. You men can still not believe that you were born only for the sake of earth life. And when you are now given information about it, then you should still accept it, although this knowledge cannot be proven to you. You believe so much for which you can also create no evidence, and it is enough for you when a man assures you that it is so. Why do you not also accept that knowledge, which is much more valuable for you than to know earthly things? Therefore you, My servants, are told again and again to spread your knowledge, and if you succeed to cause only one world man to accept it, then the rescue work is already accomplished at his soul. And also he will again see to it that others take note of spiritual things, which reach into that kingdom, which he did not allow before. But I well know how few men let themselves be influenced by spiritual knowledge, and still these few are already a gain for Me, because at the end of an earth period I can only still reckon with a small flock, which directs its look up. But also worldly men can still be won when they only enter the kingdom on the other side with a small knowledge about it at their death .... that they remember it and now nevertheless start to believe that their life is not ended after death .... that they are called by men on earth who receive spiritual good and pass it on .... then redemption can still be given to them with good will also in the kingdom on the other side .... But they have to struggle hard to reach a small knowledge and remember with great remorse the missed opportunities on earth. Do not let yourselves be dissuaded from your spiritual work, and no matter how laborious it still seems to be. I will always give you help; I will direct your thoughts that you always turn to men what they need .... that My address always gives them what moves their thoughts, and they therefore also visibly recognize My work. And My blessing will constantly accompany you, for anyone who is wholeheartedly involved in this vineyard work will also not do it without results, for My word is blessed with My strength, which flows towards everyone who willingly accepts it ....

Amen

God's constant care of love is for His creatures ....

B.D. 8931 from February 11th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

And My love care is meant for all beings, which once fell away from Me. For even if the apostasy from Me took place in a state of brightest knowledge .... but they are now in total darkness, they know nothing of their former height, of their light and their strength and therefore would never be able to release themselves from this darkness if I did not provide them with help. But all these beings once went out from Me, and they can no longer pass away, and that is why I want to again lead them to perfection, and whether also eternities are necessary for it. Because My love towards them does not pass away, although they often resist Me for a long time, because they no longer recognize Me, because they have lost all knowledge about their origin and because the one is their master, who mercilessly entangles them in deeper and deeper darkness and from which they cannot break away without help. In this state, therefore, man finds himself at the beginning of his embodiment .... He certainly slowly wins his I-consciousness that he recognizes himself as an independent being, nevertheless darkness still holds him around, and the earthly world, through which he has to pass, is little suitable to give him a light, because this light has to come from within, but he himself has no light, since he once rejected it. That is why My exceedingly great love has given him a gift for the time as man by putting a small spark of itself into the human heart, which now can also be ignited when man is of will for it. Only this little spark of love means actual life, and as long as it does not flare up in the human heart, he is dead in spirit, although he lives an earthly life. All My efforts only go out to help men to this life, which they once had given up voluntarily themselves, but I will also not let up until I will have reached My aim. And now I give you a second light .... for I reveal Myself to you .... What you cannot know by yourselves, what also no man can bring to you from outside, that again goes to you as a gift: I light a light for you, that you know about your state at the beginning and are not completely held captive by darkness .... Admittedly, this light is dependent on you letting the spark of love flare up in you yourselves, so that you will then also be able to receive My direct revelations. For you are not to go through earth life without a little knowledge; you are to draw your conclusions from it and always only strive that you reach Me and therefore your aim. The only thing that matters is that you come out of darkness, that you want to flee from him who wants to keep you in darkness .... But then My help will be completely noticeable to you; then I take care of every individual in merciful love, because if man wants to turn away from him, then he turns towards Me, and I seize him and never ever leave him. And I instruct him that all abilities lie in him, which were only buried, that he can again let all these abilities break through and he is far more than just a created man .... that he is a being, emerged out of My love, which was perfect and is also to reach perfection again. And I will not rest until I have reached the aim of forming 'children' for Myself out of the 'creatures', and whether I also again and again have to let the beings walk the course through creation when they oppose Me .... one day they will be perfect after all, just as their father in heaven is perfect ....

Amen

God's constant care of love is for His creatures ....

B.D. 8932 from February 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Nothing is able to stop My will to create; nothing is able to restrict My power of creation. I will always and forever create and shape, I will always and forever put forth new creations because I find My beatitude in them and My strength does not diminish forever, which has to be active according to law. Since you men still stand under the law of time and space, you will not grasp this in its entire meaning, because a being, which is constantly active, which does not stop to create, must once be at the end according to your terms. But the concept of time completely switches off, what you once will also understand. The whole of infinity is filled by Me with creations, partly of spiritual, partly of material kind, and all these creations have their purpose to make My spirit world happy and to contribute that their love towards Me constantly increases .... but as they also constantly serve for the redemption of the creatures which have become apostate to Me, whose innumerable likewise substantiate such creations until eternities .... But since every creation is always only the expression of My endless love, since every expression of power is in itself the radiation of My original substance and next to Me no creative power exists .... since My former light spirit's power is finally broken through Jesus Christ .... there will also never ever be a passing away of My creations, as far as they exist spiritually, because earthly worlds can indeed pass away, i.e. change in themselves, once their purpose is fulfilled that they have helped the souls to perfection. But then the love power radiated for it is only changed because it cannot pass away and has again another purpose. But My will to form is inexhaustible and makes Me happy to an extent not to be described because again and again love is the source of My original being. My original being .... drives Me to it and it is unlimited. Now you will also understand why I have created beings for Myself .... you will understand that I desired such because I wanted to share this happiness with them, because I was also urged to make beings, which were shaped like Me, equally happy to an inconceivable extent, that I also gave them the power to create and shape and they could use it according to their own will. And all My beings had to be free; they were not allowed to be bound to My will, but I put them out of Me freely, that they could be active as isolated from Me in free will .... And this will conformed to Mine so that an exceedingly blissful time passed until the beings partly fell away .... The apostasy was only the result of the rejection of My love power, which could only result in the fall into the deep. Because without the influx of love power the being must inevitably harden, because My love power gives life to everything, but without the love power the being decays into the state of death .... Since now innumerable beings have fallen and innumerable beings remained with Me, also the rescue action of these fallen beings gives cause for creative activity, which is carried out by Me as well as by the beings remaining with Me in My will, which nevertheless makes us happy and will make us happy still endless times. Because it is about a great aim: about the reaching of the adoption as children of God on earth, which I long for from the very beginning and that is why I did not prevent the fall into the deep .... which I certainly could, but then would have made the will of the beings unfree .... And so you must also learn to regard this fall into the abyss as a consequence of free will, but which was not withheld from any of My created beings, otherwise it would not have emerged from Me completely .... But that My endless love gives up none of these fallen beings, that must also be understandable to you, because there is nothing in the whole universe, which would not be the work of My love .... thus nothing can get lost or eternally remain in darkness. For love is stronger than hatred, and the love of all My beings of light would alone be enough to achieve victory over darkness .... But I Myself pursue every one of My beings into the abyss, and I will also surely one day reach their ascent to the height ....

Amen

What was the being like in its original state? .... What is it like as a human being? ....

B.D. 8933 from February 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you continue to receive My word from above is to be proof to you that I still have much to say to you, that your knowledge will increase the more you open yourselves to My love illumination and the more intimately you establish the connection with Me, which is also always the guarantee that I will express Myself. For My love still has much in store for you, My love does not want you to remain unenlightened in such matters where you desire clarification. And so you also have to be instructed about your former nature, when you were still perfect. For the way you are now was not your state .... you could move freely, your will could take you anywhere, you were not bound, you were in fullest freedom of thought and will, no restriction was imposed on you, and you could see through everything in the fullest light .... Everything was brightly and clearly apparent to you that you only ever recognized My love for you and were therefore inexpressibly happy. And you also did not lack the strength to let your will become active; in no way was this strength limited, and it also could not be, because My love power constantly flowed through you .... And when you now consider how far you are still away from that state .... how you can neither move in freedom nor are filled with light and power .... And when you consider that you now open your hearts to already let a ray of love-light fall into it, then you already consciously strive for your original state, and you can assume in all certainty that you will reach your aim, because it is your will to return to Me, and this will means everything .... Even though you don't feel the change from darkness to light like this on earth you will still enter a bright light when you enter the kingdom of the beyond, and you will suddenly be in a state of freedom, light and strength again, you will throw off all earthly fetters, you will be able to enter the light freed from all earthly heaviness and be allowed to enjoy everything again which you lacked for eternities .... Therefore believe Me that you, who receive My word, and also you, who are prepared to pass it on, are already powerfully hit by My love light ray .... because you make it possible to let the light of knowledge go to you already on earth, which is always a sign that My love is meant for you, which will not stop to shine at you when you are just prepared for it. And yet, there are only a few who are close to their perfection, although it is made easy for all people, for they need only listen to you and also open themselves to My address, they would all only need to take hold of My hand which stretches out towards them, and I would truly kindle a small light for them in the glow of which they would learn to recognize and love Me .... And the earthly progress would be successful for all people, for My love is so powerful that it grants grace upon grace and consequently you can become blessed by grace. But the flock of My own is only small, and the darkness that lies over the earth is great, and that is why the end is also inevitable, and it must come, because humanity shuts itself off from My word from above, which alone can give you clarification about questions of greatest importance .... which first of all includes the question: What is man's relationship to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, in Whom I Myself became man .... As long as humanity does not ask this question it is subject to My adversary, and he will truly prevent it from ever getting this question answered .... because it is He alone Who can save people from the abyss when the end has come ....

Amen

Unstoppable word reception ....

B.D. 8934 from February 14th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is not possible for you humans to extract a purely spiritual explanation from My word spoken to you, for people's state of maturity in the present time prevents this, even if you make an effort to live entirely in My will .... But what lies hidden in the depth of My word you cannot grasp; you would also not be able to clothe it in words, even if you penetrate into the deepest meaning of the word. Because no man would be open for it anymore, because you stand shortly before the end and the spiritual state is already badly darkened that even the ones who are Mine could no longer break through this darkness. But now .... precisely because of the expected end .... My revelations are given to people unveiled, so that a misinterpretation of the word is impossible, for people now need a completely clear portrayal, both of My nature as well as of all forthcoming events, they therefore have to take note of all correlations, of the reason and significance of their being and of the divine redeemer's mission, because they are facing the final decision and a veiled revelation could not earn them a blessing .... Therefore the revelations from above can and must be taken literally, and their truth will already prove itself shortly, because the end cannot be postponed, and events precede this end, which I have announced to men again and again, and until the end I will warn and admonish men .... But that the end is near, that you must believe, because a proof for it cannot be brought to you for your own sake. But for that very reason I give you news of the preceding natural event, which is to show you all what hour the world clock has struck. And blessed who this natural event gives the last impulse to commend himself to Me and My favour .... For this one will be saved for time and eternity ....

Amen

No coercion may be done to the will of man ....

B.D. 8935 from February 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

No coercion is allowed to be done to people's will .... Therefore it must also be left up to them whether and how they make use of the word, which is sent to them from above. They must be free to reject it, although then they forfeit a favour of greatest value. But exactly the free will is the important thing, because only when free will confesses it, the power also goes to them, with which I have blessed My word. Only then they are prepared to again let themselves be illuminated by Me Myself, because although it happens to them indirectly, they still receive the ray of light from Me; it finds entrance into their hearts and also becomes effective with them. That is why you always just have to draw the attention of your fellowmen to the fact that you yourselves have entered into contact with Me, that you stand in the great favour to receive My word from above, which you are also to pass on to your fellowmen. And you will experience it that you will find far more rejection .... But where a seed falls on good soil, there My profit is great, because I have won these for eternity .... But again and again you should mention it and inform your fellow human beings that only a life of love can achieve such, that I Myself make Myself known to a person, that I speak to him and instruct him and that every person can take part in these instructions if he wants to .... But he is not allowed to be forced, because free will is to decide for itself whether it grants admission to the flow of favour from above. That is why every ecclesiastical commandment is also to be regarded as compulsion, to which people now have to submit if they do not want to commit a 'sin' .... In complete freedom of will you should do what is demanded of you, then it will be right before My eyes .... For every thought, every direction of will is known to Me, and I already comply with the slightest will which applies to Me and fill the human being with strength to be able to carry it out. You men are not aware of what important factor free will is in your life, but would you be able to measure it that it is only about your will, that you must turn this towards Me to reach your aim, then you would truly detach yourselves will-wise from My opponent and push towards Me alone, who promises you a happy life in eternity .... And yet you must change your will of your own accord, you must by no means be influenced to do so, for My adversary also has the right to fight for your will, and I cannot protect you from it if he tries to transfer his will to you, but I can help you immediately if you are only willing to detach yourselves from him, for this gives Me the right to mentally influence you and to turn these thoughts towards Me. For this free will of yours I fight just as My opponent, but he has a far greater success to record in the times of the end, but also his following I will again snatch from him when he is banished for a long time. But you, who I still can win before the end, you will be spared this terrible fate of a new banishment, and that alone I still want to achieve that you all accept the favour of My word spoken from above, that I Myself can address you and then also guaranteed you take the way up, which all those can go, who give Me their will ....

Amen

In the state of compulsion progress is guaranteed .... but as human being? ....

B.D. 8936 from February 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

In all My creations, whatever they may be, developmental progress takes place, even if you humans are unable to observe it .... Yet you should believe My Word that nothing will fall back again into a state that had already been overcome .... This can only occur in the human stage because the human being is at liberty to travel the path of ascent or slide into the abyss again. And if you consider that it took you an eternity before you were allowed to embody yourselves as a human being, if you consider the infinitely long path which one day had to lead you to this incarnation for sure, you would also feel responsible during this time on earth, which is truly just a short time compared to the length of time of previous embodiments through the most diverse creations.

And yet, precisely this time as a human being is decisive for your later fate. For prior to this you travelled the path across earth in the state of compulsion, you could do nothing else but comply with My will and had to progress without fail. But now your way of life is a matter of your own free will .... What you had to do during your preliminary stages .... to be of service .... is now up to you, you are no longer compelled but love should motivate you to do so, however, you have to kindle this love yourselves, then your service will be an easy one and your course of life will lead to further progress .... Hence it is most important in earthly life that you are informed of the significance of a life of love, that you know its effect and the danger of a lack of love, which could result in your setback and would be dreadful for you. In the past I pulled you up Myself because you were pursued by My love which time and again created opportunities so that one day you could embody yourselves as a human being. But now I have to withdraw My will from you, I have to leave it up to yourselves to aspire to further progress .... Although I have given you the wonderful gift of grace for your earthly life as a human being .... by placing into you a tiny spark of My divine spirit, a part of Myself .... you have to ignite it yourselves, which is your task in life .... I had to give you this spark of love or you would have completely fallen prey to My adversary again who now also has the right once more to fight for your soul, which was not possible for him before. And thus on the one hand you indeed have to expect his onslaughts but you nevertheless have a counterbalance .... My divine spark of love .... with which you can keep him at bay, against which he is powerless .... always providing that you yourselves nurture this spark within you, that you make full use of My gift of grace, for then you will safely attain the goal that was given to you for earthly life.

However, if you ignore this spark of love then you will be subject to his control, he will always pull you down further and be able to dominate you again since you would grant him this power yourselves. In that case, however, the whole of your previous earthly progress would have been in vain and I would be unable to save you from another fall into the abyss ....

For this reason it is tremendously important that all people know about the Gospel of love, that all of you know what consequences a life of love entail and also know that you are responsible for your earthly life yourselves. For I can do everything, I can provide you with all opportunities, I can direct your destiny such that you will be able to find Me, but I cannot force your free will. You have to make the final decision yourselves, and all blessings are at your disposal for you to use .... Nevertheless it is up to you whether and when you reach the pinnacle from where you will no longer be able to fall into the abyss ....

Amen

God alone knows about the togetherness of substances ....

B.D. 8937 from February 17th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The fact that you once voluntarily distanced yourselves from Me could not remain without consequences for you, for being close to Me also guaranteed you life, whereas you subsequently fell into a state of death. And life could only be when My ray of love flooded through you, but which you rejected and robbed yourselves of life. You therefore severed all relations with Me in freedom of will, and what therefore placed itself outside of Me, what stepped out of My eternal order, that lost life, because only My power radiation guarantees a life; if this can no longer touch the being, then it gives itself death, therefore it hardens in its substance and becomes completely lifeless through it. This is therefore actually to be understood by the fall into the abyss, for since the being lost all ego-consciousness, since My love dissolved it and the strength once radiated out of Me was now used for creations of all kinds .... since the original beingness was therefore dissolved into countless little particles .... all these entities only existed insofar as I alone knew which particles belonged to the fallen original spirit again, and I alone also let the being walk across earth again as a human being, who now shelters the fallen original spirit in himself as a soul. Do you know what this means that the spirit of light is in you, which was emitted out of Me in the beginning, but which was in death for eternities and which nevertheless once again holds all substances in itself, only that it is still in darkness at the beginning of the embodiment as man, which is without all knowledge, but has the possibility to procure it again when it wants it? And all earthly creations are the same .... spiritual beings which have come to death, which in innumerable fragmentations form exactly those creations which fill the whole universe. And I know about everything, about the degree of development those substances have reached; nothing is alien to Me, and I arrange all substances again such that in the end every fallen original spirit comes to life again, that it then also receives self-awareness and can recognize itself as once having come forth from Me. But it belongs to it that man makes an effort to live in My will, that he again reshapes himself to love, because only then through My love illumination he again reaches the knowledge, which he once gave away voluntarily, that he then again brings all divine qualities in him to development, that he again reaches perfection, which was originally his own as divine gift. Then man has brought about in free will what I Myself could not "create": He has transformed himself out of a "work of My love" into "My child" ..... And this "becoming children" was also the reason why I did not prevent the beings from their apostasy to the abyss, why I gave their will free rein when it turned against Me, only that they had to pay for this apostasy from Me with unspeakable suffering and agony, for the sin against Me was the rejection of My strength of love, without which the being could not exist and therefore became wretched. That My mercy was nevertheless meant for this spiritual and created possibilities for it to be able to cover the walk up, emerges from My unlimited love, which is meant for all beings, which My will once has put out. And that this love will also once reach the destination, that is certain, because nothing can resist My love for ever .... it once has to surrender to it ....

Amen

Assuming the will entails right thinking ....

B.D. 8938 from February 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The will to serve Me relieves you of all responsibility, because what you now do, that is My will, as soon as it is about the vineyard work, as soon as you undertake something to serve the spreading of My word. You must always consider the one thing that you have set yourselves this task, that you made it your life task and that I therefore direct all your steps and your thoughts so as it is right, that you therefore do not need to fear to act wrongly, because everything what you do for Me and My kingdom, that is also for a blessing, and whether it also appears to you at times as the opposite. Always just consider yourselves as My tools, which I will always use there where they are expedient, and which make nothing out of themselves, but can always only carry out what the master hand determines them for. Because I still have everything in control, and whether you also possess free will, which I will not touch, but this will already belongs to Me, and therefore I can now use it according to My will. You will never be able to act differently than it is My will. Whatever you undertake, your thoughts will be directed by Me, because own thinking then switches off as soon as you have handed yourselves over to Me that I can lead and guide you. And the obligation to spread the truth will approach you more and more strongly .... Because the end commands this, and the time becomes shorter and shorter, which is still at your disposal. And enormous steps still have to be taken in order to open people's hearts for the truth .... Much work still lies ahead of you, but I always stand behind you as your master and assign the work to you .... and even if it sometimes seems as if the ways are inaccessible, which you are to walk .... Again and again I find an occasion to also convey truth to those, whom I still want to seize. But only very small is the flock, which I still can win for Me, but it is to be found in all layers. Individuals can be found everywhere whom I will count to My small flock, who are deeply impressed by the truth and want to escape from error. Therefore only ever let yourselves be guided, and don't fear that the guidance could come from the opposite side, for since I already possess your will My adversary can no longer have an effect on you .... For you yourselves have withdrawn his power over you; you have handed yourselves over to Me, and you will now truly act as it is My will ....

Amen

Contents of the transcripts .... present evidence of God ....

B.D. 8939 from February 20th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

From My kingdom only spiritual good can go to you; only spiritual treasures can be offered to you, which are foreign to the world, but which mean wealth in the kingdom on the other side for every soul, which can work with it for its own happiness and for the blessing of all those, who come over without all knowledge. When now this spiritual material is conducted to earth, then this can only happen with those men who consciously give themselves to receive the spiritual current, who prepare themselves for it by intimately connecting with Me and then listen inwards, because this spiritual material is not heard by the bodily ear, but the spiritual ear receives it, which now directs it to the intellect. This process is not understood by most men, but it is to be proven with the transcripts, which man cannot think up himself and therefore would also have to have an explanation in bodily dispositions, but which would ultimately also be put into man by Me Myself. But the content of these transcripts is an all-embracing knowledge, which a man cannot possess .... unless he has taken it from books, but that is out of the question. And so you can conclude with all certainty that you possess a present sign from Me Myself with this spiritual material. And still also men are not to be convinced of it, who are completely unbelieving, because these have no connection at all with the spiritual world, since they also make no effort to check spiritual receptions for their content, otherwise they would already feel touched by the peculiarity of this knowledge and think about it. But a clearer present proof can no longer be given to men, who stand too far from Me and therefore do not want to believe in a God and creator, out of whom they themselves have emerged .... And these therefore pass over in a state where they are completely empty and ignorant and run the risk to sink into the deepest depth when they do not still win a glimmer of knowledge there, what however is very difficult because they also then still reject everything and have no knowledge of their body death. The resistance of such souls is so great that they far sooner harden again and have to take upon themselves the state of new banishment. And still again and again My word is offered to them on earth, but no compulsion is done to their will. However, even those people who abundantly accept knowledge from Me will not be forced into it .... It is their own will, which drives them to this intimate union with Me, and their strong faith that I express Myself and they now expect My expression. This is certainly a great favour, which is given to man, but again it is the will to use it, which earns him this favour. You are all offered the favour to receive a treasure out of the spiritual kingdom, but how rarely only is the offer accepted .... Men are mostly earthly minded, and they pay no attention to what is brought to them out of the spiritual kingdom. But once they will have to give up everything earthly and then arrive over there naked and bare, and they will be able to offer nothing to no soul because they possess nothing themselves. And yet this alone is their bliss .... O would that all of you would draw more from My fountain of eternal love .... Would that you would all open yourselves to My words of love, which are only intended to give you the knowledge you once lost .... And you would enter the kingdom on the other side richly blessed and there be able to hand out again to the souls, which urgently need it. But your will is free, and as you decide, so is your lot in eternity ....

Amen

Does the "sounding" word protect against error? ....

B.D. 8940 from February 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The sounding word is the sign of most intimate union with Me, which also gives you the guarantee for the truth of that what you are allowed to receive. You are then addressed so that you hear the thoughts like clearly spoken words, but not your bodily ear can hear this voice, but it sounds in the heart and makes you immensely happy. It is also a sign of unusual soul maturity, which enables man to receive deepest wisdoms out of Me, so that everything, what imparts a light to you, what gives you brightness of spirit, everything what is dictated to a receiver, is also to be regarded as a direct expression for My part, because he hears it when he writes it down. Only the degree of the receiver can be different, what determines exactly the depth of wisdom of his receptions. But one thing must be emphasized, that the intellect of every receiver can go its own way and that it must not be subject to any compulsion because of free will. And that is the decisive thing that man can also err when his intellect is not switched off, because also My opponent seeks to use it for himself, and I cannot defend him when he seeks to express himself through the intellect .... But man can defend himself against him when he always asks Me to protect him from all error. And so it is also possible that the opponent intervenes in questions, which he himself whispers to man, which he then also answers himself in the same way, that therefore also a voice sounds to him, which however touches him uneasily, but which he always puts down to a pure bodily state. But you men will likewise feel uneasiness when reading such receptions, and when you pay attention to it and intimately ask Me for enlightenment, then you will also be able to recognize it as error. Because you are to check everything and always consider that I can do no force to the will of man, and whether he is (was) still so close to Me and I could (can) further give him My spiritual gifts. But who carelessly reads over it, he gets into the same thinking, and satan has already won, whatever his intention is, that he confuses the hearts of men .... Nor could I have drawn his attention to his error afterwards, for his mind was now even more concerned with a question which was answered to him on the part of My adversary entirely in his will, for again and again I emphasize that I do not influence a person's will against him .... his will alone is decisive, which could also have turned to Me completely and then the pure truth would also truly have been imparted to him. And so it is now not a question that a man is protected from all error through the sounding word, but it is alone a question whether he also heard "My word" in the moment of receiving, because also My opponent can express himself in the same way, however his voice sounds in the back of the head, why he felt an indisposition thereby, which he attributed to his bodily state. No man is excluded from such harassments of the opponent, especially then when the request for protection from error has not preceded, which gives Me the right to push him away. And precisely because of My nature he wants to throw you humans into confusion, for this is his intention that you should not recognize Me correctly so that he will not lose you to Me. And exactly My nature I seek to reveal to you again and again through divine revelations, because every untruth prevents you to strive towards Me, to give Me all your love. And your view that a receiver of the sounding word must be free of all error has given him the best foundation .... And yet you conclude wrongly. And if you also now do not believe My corrections, then you will continue to walk along in error, because again I gave you information about the most important problem: about your creation in highest perfection, and you can draw your conclusions from it yourselves, which will also satisfy you with My help .... And consider that also John, the caller in the wilderness, was a high spirit of light, who descended to earth .... that also to him his thinking was free .... that I also did not determine him to think what is right .... that also at him My opponent tried himself, who whispered into his mind doubts about Me and My nature, about My mission .... because he had power over the human in him, and it was only at the will of John that a light was given to him about Me Myself. But I emphasize again and again that I force no man to believe, that I only want to make it easy for him to come to the right faith ....

Amen

1 Corinthians 15, 29 .... ‘Act of baptism on a dead person’ ....

B.D. 8941 from February 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Let Me explain what you desire to know: You can only be taught by My spirit, if you are unable to intellectually grasp the meaning of the words, because your intellect moves in the wrong direction, especially when it concerns a word which has not originated from Me. Then it is necessary to ask for My spirit which can and will provide clarification. There has never been an ‘act of baptism on a dead person’, however, there has been an ‘act of baptism of a dead person’ and you can only accept this as a symbol when someone takes pity on his fellow human being and wants to bring a ‘spiritually dead person’ to life and offers him the water of life and thus ‘baptises’ him by presenting My Word to him with love .... which is the meaning of ‘baptism’ after all ....

Time and again I have spoken of ‘the dead’, and time and again those dead in spirit were what I meant by that .... When I said to you ‘Let the dead bury their dead’ it was, after all, the most comprehensible word which had to make you all realise that I was speaking of the dead in spirit. And this is how the words spoken by My disciple should be understood, which more than clearly meant that every person should take pity on the spiritually dead. But that a person should let himself be baptised over a dead person is a distortion of the word, it did not even originate from Me and could not have been adopted by My disciples either. People have included purely worldly concepts which betrayed their low spiritual state. However, such concepts could have been recognised as wrong by every spiritually awakened person and may not be passed on as ‘My Word’ since such words cause immense confusion.

Anyone who understands the spiritual meaning of baptism will not let himself become confused by such words, he will recognise them as wrong and as not having originated from Me, Who will only ever give you explanations which will never contradict each other. And if I explained the significance of baptism to you comprehensibly then the distorted word cannot possibly be true because it would completely contradict My Word. Thus you have to believe what is conveyed to you through revelations because I do not want to leave you in your wrong thinking when you desire the pure truth ....

Amen

Souls in the beyond participate in teachings ....

B.D. 8942 from February 23rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You should always accept My instructions for only I can offer you truth, only I can provide you with the nourishment and drink which your soul requires in order to perfect itself. Although the time until the end is brief you will still be able to do much work in My vineyard, because just a single spiritual thought will attract untold souls in the beyond who gather around you, who all want to participate in order to receive food and drink, and whom I support in every conceivable manner. These souls shall partake in what I give to you and work with it in turn, and thus no vineyard work whatsoever is done in vain. They frequently ask questions which I will answer through you, for they have a considerable desire for knowledge, especially if they did not receive the correct explanation on earth .... if they were taught wrongly and now realise that their misguided knowledge is of no use to them.

Their most important question concerns a truthful explanation about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, and they cannot be informed often enough of the fact that they need to appeal to Him for their forgiveness of sin .... Only when they take the path to Him, when they have carried their entire guilt under His cross may they take pleasure in the light. Then they will receive My emanation of grace at the same time, then they may receive the light directly from Me. As soon as they gather around you they already have the will to receive a light, and then they only have to take a small step to find Jesus Christ and entrust themselves to Him. This work is so necessary for the souls in the beyond because it has an immense effect and signifies a countermeasure for the one who had already extended his hand to pull them into the abyss. Once the souls have found their way to you they will stay in contact with you, because My love has seized them and will never exclude them ....

But all these souls need to be informed of the truth, because every error is like a shadow that confuses their senses, and the souls had been subject to many errors during their earthly lives, which they gradually have to lose and thus need to know the truth. For this reason truthful information is conveyed to you humans on earth or you would have to cope with the same problems in the beyond, yet you have the great blessing to be taught by the Eternal Truth Itself. For every wrong concept you hold on to at the time of your passing from earth will follow you into eternity and can prevent you from accepting the truth when it is offered to you.

The reason why I draw your attention to so many misguided teachings is due to the fact that you should not enter the kingdom of the beyond in this state as well, that you should know the pure truth beforehand already and can then pass it on to those who also desire to know the truth .... The beings of the beyond have access to them all, every recipient of truth is surrounded by countless beings who all want to receive beneficial nourishment from them .... Hence the study group is vast and is also supported by the beings of light, who will only be listened to when the souls in the beyond have already gained a small amount of knowledge through earthly inhabitants. Then they will be open to their instructions too and proceed with their higher development. Those of you who receive the truth from Me directly should only ever aim to spread the truth throughout the world. Use every possible avenue that serves to spread My Word, and you will not have worked in vain .... For the end cannot be delayed, it is approaching with absolute certainty faster than you think .... it will surprise all people, and blessed is the person who knows the truth, which you can only gain through My Word ....

Amen

The human being is not a product of coincidence by a Creative Power ....

B.D. 8943 from February 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The human being with all his vices, flaws and afflictions is easily inclined to believe that he was created like this by God, if he believes at all to have originated from Him. Yet this Creator would have to be denied all love and wisdom which motivated Him to create humans (beings); for in this case every person would merely be the product of a Being which is imperfect itself, which created the human being (the being) as a whim but which cannot be accredited with supreme perfection. Someone who is able to entertain such thoughts at any time is utterly unenlightened; he has formed a completely wrong concept of his Creator, for the existence as a 'human being' is only the stage of an infinitely long process of development but, at the same time, it is the most important stage, for during this time the being has to make its final decision of will in order to achieve its original state again in which it was once created .... You all need to know that your origin from the supremely perfect Being had likewise been a state of supreme perfection .... and that the state you are in now was created by yourselves, which was therefore not the work of your Creator of eternity .... You all need to know that it is only an intermediate state which you caused yourselves as a result of reversing your will but which you can change again into your original state if your will is likewise prepared to change. And therefore you have to fight against all your vices and flaws, you must try to change yourselves and create a state in which you transform all your flaws into virtues, in which your God-opposing relationship undergoes a change which will bring you close to Him and you approach the original state once more in which you once emerged from Him. You cannot look upon your human existence as a concluded life, you must always know that there was a 'before' and that there will also be an 'after' but that you, during your life as a human being, must make a decision as to whether you want to be free from every form or whether you want to fall back again into a stage which you had already overcome a long time ago.

But don't believe that you are a product of coincidence by a Creative Power Which arbitrarily externalised beings from within Itself which are more or less tainted by various flaws and vices .... believe that this Creative Power has to be accredited with love and wisdom of highest perfection and that It created you for a purpose .... to radiate Itself, that is, Its love, into Its created beings which, however, was prevented by these beings themselves .... thus, they rejected this love and thereby changed into the opposite .... into the beings which you are now as humans .... yet always with the goal to achieve your past nature again. And thus you should consider your time on earth merely as a passageway, consider it as a divinely planned designated return into your actual state, since you emerged in supreme perfection from the Creative Power. And you should know that you must make every effort during your earthly life in order to fight against all bad habits which prevent you from entering into unity again with your Creator of eternity, Who wants to be your Father, but that you will be infinitely happy if you succeed in changing, if you allow this change into love and by doing so may take possession of your Father's ray of love again, Who bestows this bliss upon you. For this is your only goal, to once again become what you were in the beginning .... supremely perfect beings, as they were when they came forth from God ....

Amen

After reading a book about Indian religions ....

B.D. 8944 from February 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You have taken on the significant task of spreading the pure truth conveyed to you from above, which is especially important because it is opposed by My adversary everywhere. And you will realise that he is predominant because people’s nature turned them into his slaves, since they accept everything they are offered but are unable to distinguish where it comes from .... And yet it could be easily established, for if it is truth, Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation would have to be mentioned without fail. This act of mercy has to be emphasized as the quintessence of pure truth. And then you will be able to easily see what corresponds to the truth .... For I explicitly pointed out that every spirit who professes that Jesus Christ became flesh in order to redeem the world will not instruct you incorrectly either. After all, it concerns the fact that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer from sin and death ....

You humans are burdened by the offence of the original sin, and you can only be released from it by carrying it to the cross .... And you have to believe this .... Absolute proof cannot be given to you because you have to take the path to the cross voluntarily. Only this will result in a life of beatitude when you have to leave our earthly body and enter the kingdom of the beyond .... your true home, which will then also offer you the fate you aspired to on earth. You humans have to believe that you are the fallen original spirits, that the path across this earth is transient and only requires a test of will in order to regain your true nature, to create and work in My kingdom as blessed spirits once again, providing you don’t fail and then have to repeat the development through all works of creation ....

And this is the pure truth you should support since the extent of error is increasing, because people are experiencing the last days and My adversary is succeeding in deceiving them. He is so clever that he has found many gullible followers who, however, have fallen victim to mediums, to hypnosis, to self-deception through suggestion, all serving the same purpose again: to reject the divine ‘Saviour’ or to present Him as a ‘mere human being’, Who certainly pursued the highest goals but was not the ‘embodied Deity Himself’. However, anyone with the sincere desire to know the truth and who, through a life of love, shapes himself such that My spirit can flow into him, will also be given the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation .... If he does not receive it during his earthly life, then his degree of love is decisive in order to convey this knowledge to him in a flash when he enters the kingdom of the beyond. Then he, too, will utilise the blessings of the act of Salvation, he will hurry into the divine Redeemer’s arms and also find redemption from all guilt. Hence only a life of love is necessary to receive this knowledge which, however, will always be the same, because truth can only be what I Myself give to people who prepare themselves as a vessel for the spirit.

The fact, that beings of light are time and again willing to come to earth in order to convey the correct knowledge to people cannot be denied, yet they are faced with difficult conditions in relation to preconceived opinions .... as they belong to different schools of religion .... No matter how much people try to perfect themselves .... they can only achieve this by living a life of love. But then they are also open-minded for correct instructions relating to the divine Redeemer.

But where entire nations are inaccessible to the truth, where only individual people are willing to accept it, My love cannot exercise force, and I will be satisfied with an honourable way of life which will also bear fruit. But I will not divert from the truth in as much that I would apply different laws to other people, even if I admit that people with a high degree of maturity are able to take actions above and beyond their human abilities .... But then they also have the inner awareness of Jesus Christ as the ‘divine Redeemer’, Who has to be approached by everyone in order to be freed from their original sin. For only this knowledge will result in your blissful life in the spiritual kingdom, which you can expect after the death of your body. Because your existence on earth is transient, the spiritual kingdom is your true home where you will live again .... when you have found salvation through Jesus Christ .... in your true state, as it was in the beginning ....

Explanation about the 'existence as a human being' ....

B.D. 8945 from February 27th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You have already been on earth for an infinitely long time, which you can truly call eternities .... albeit not as a self-aware original spirit, instead you cover this long path as minutely tiny particles so that you can regain the original state which was yours in the beginning. If you consider that you travelled through all creations .... since everything you see around yourselves, everything that is to be regarded as a work of creation, must be a spark of strength from Me, otherwise you would be unable to exist .... then you will also learn to look upon these creations as My once emanated spiritual beings which deliberately abandoned contact with Me but which .... since they are everlasting .... must also establish this connection with Me again one day, because it is and remains the law that My emanated strength will return to Me again. Only then will you judge the human stage correctly, in which you should establish this conscious connection with Me. And all creations around you will remind you to strive towards this final goal if you don't want to travel the path through the creations again, which you have now escaped with My help. And the fact that this is true must be believed by you, for it is conveyed to you by My spirit but cannot be proven .... yet only in this way can the whole of creation be explained to you, and I do so in view of the near end, in order to give you humans an explanation as to what you and the whole of creation basically are .... For the few who are open-minded recognise the only explanation therein, they recognise My infinite love, unsurpassed wisdom and infinite power .... And they don't doubt that it is true .... Yet far more people live in spiritual darkness and making the immense responsibility of earthly life clear to them will be a difficult task and will usually also be unsuccessful. But they will have to be prepared for a repeated process through the creations of the new earth if I don't recall them from earth before.

However, if people would for once only seriously ponder the question as to what they are, where they come from and what their actual task on earth is .... countless souls of light would answer this question for them, for these questions would result in one bright thought after another .... and the darkness would vanish. But as long as a small light is not kindled for you, so that you realise your life on earth is the final stage of a process of development after an infinitely long path of preliminary development, you will not live your life on earth conscientiously and .... if you don't live a life of love .... there is great danger that your earthly life will be a waste of time. On the other hand, if you live a life of love you need not know about your previous existence and will still reach your goal, for only love is needed in order to become fully mature on earth. But since love has grown cold during the last days before the end I try to address your intellect by informing you of your long earthly progress and explain to you the slow development of all creations in a purely intellectual way in order to make you to think about what your God and Creator intends to achieve by this. I only try to encourage you to reflect on this, because then beings of light will be able to intervene and mentally answer your questions. But if there is no more love among people and if they also refuse to spend serious thought on the matter, then there is no more hope for their deliverance, then the law will inevitably come into force which determines your renewed banishment into matter again. Yet My struggle for the souls will not slow down until the end .... And I will send My flow of grace wherever the possibility for a change of will still exists in order to increase the number of those who recognise themselves as having originated from Me, who want to return to Me again, who will enter the kingdom of light and have attained their purpose in life .... who are and will remain My Own forever ....

Amen

God does not require of man more than he is able to perform ....

B.D. 8946 from March 1st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When you insert yourselves into the law of My eternal order, when you let My will be your concern, when you fulfil the commandment of love towards God and neighbour, then you also change your nature and slowly take on your original nature, where you did not move differently than in My eternal order, where everything was determined by the principle of love, where you could not work differently than in My will. And that is the aim, which you are to reach in earth life, which I constantly present to you through My word from above as being most highly blissful for you and about which I give you information how you can reach it .... And so that you are able to reach this aim, I provide you with power at the same time with the supply of My word from above .... You therefore need not fear that I demand something of you, which would be impossible for you to achieve .... because I only demand from My creatures what every creature can achieve, because My love towards you is so great that I will truly not overtax you, and because I also know that you are weak, because My opponent still has power over you. But immeasurable is also My treasure of favour, which is at your disposal, because I acquired this favour for you through My death on the cross .... Therefore you only need to make use of this treasure of favour to safely reach your aim. My adversary certainly has great power over you, but only your will is enough that he turns towards Me, and you then receive power in excess to make yourselves free out of his power. But this will must come out of you freely; I cannot and will not force this will, but also your opponent can exert no force on you. He certainly keeps you in darkness, but I bring you a light, in the shine of which you recognize the way, which you are to go .... it is only the way of faith and love .... This alone is the law of eternal order, into which you have to insert yourselves, if you want to reach Me and happiness. And when you accept that light, then also at the same time with the light the power is given to you to be able to live according to My will. And you will achieve the transformation of your nature with ease, because you are never without spiritual help, you just have to direct your look towards the kingdom, which one day is to receive you. And you will always feel this help; again and again the world of light will support you, because as soon as you just strive for your spiritual aim, you will also be provided from there with a power current, which makes every overcoming possible for you, which cannot be prevented by My opponent, because your inner thinking, which is meant for Me, wards him off and takes all power over you from him. But this aim should always be desirable to you, because then you will also get rid of your earthly form, and you can swing yourselves up into the spheres of light and happiness, while on the other hand you will be banished into matter again and everything already achieved so far is invalid, of which you cannot be warned seriously enough .... For all My love is meant for you, yet I cannot create a blissful state for you against your will, nor can I forcibly snatch you from My adversary's clutches, I can only ever help you to give Me your will yourselves .... But then your aim will also be secured, then you will insert yourselves into the law of eternal order, and then your fate can only be an exceedingly blissful one ....

Amen

Description of the process of the return work ....

B.D. 8947 from March 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Worlds will come into being and just as many will pass away again, for the number of fallen beings was so great that you cannot imagine it. But also My love, wisdom and power are unlimited, and they always only have one aim in mind, to lead all these fallen beings to perfection, to once again establish the original state, which was proper to all fallen in the beginning. Because again and again I tell you this that everything has come out of Me in highest perfection and that I will not rest until this perfection is reached again. And this work of return goes on in all worlds, which hold endless many thoughts from Me, which have become form, which all follow their purpose in legal order, which are as versatile as the sand on the sea .... but which also can cause every being, which has reached I-consciousness, to strive for the creator and shaper of all those worlds, and therefore already the first step to the return from the being itself is done. Therefore as long as creations of earthly material kind still arise, so long is the work of return still not completed, and eternities will still pass before the last fallen spiritual has covered the way up. But there will be no end of that what once has emerged out of My hand .... Only its state can and must change once, because no being can eternally remain distant from My love, only the resistance, which the being opposes to Me, is often so great that still eternal times will pass before it can take the way through creation(s), which then also once guarantees it perfection. And that again proves the power, which My opponent has over this spiritual, because it is only then withdrawn from its power, when it is bound in the creations of most different kind. Then it also irrevocably goes the way up .... even if in the law of compulsion .... but this is also progress for the being in its ascent development until it reaches the stage as man where now the opponent has influence on him again. But as long as he still prevents the hardened spiritual substance to let himself be captured by the love power of God, so long this spiritual only strengthens his power consciousness for him, which on the other hand lets My will to form become stronger and stronger to also wrest this spiritual from his fettering. And so he is and remains My opposite pole, which is indeed also inferior to My power when I want to use it .... But for the sake of the creatures, which once have to decide between Me and him, he will also still remain My opposite pole for a long time, until also he will voluntarily surrender to Me .... but then the work of return has succeeded Me completely and then only spiritual creations exist, which make all beings happy without measure and now will also no longer pass away. This is a description of the course of the return of the spiritual in short words, but for you the time is unthinkable .... you humans have to reckon again and again with the emergence of worlds which serve Me to bring this work of return to a conclusion. For I do not reckon with time and space, My spiritual world is endless, and My love has also given life to an endless number of beings who, however, have relinquished it and now return from the state of death to which they voluntarily entered. into which they voluntarily entered .... into the state of life again. And what the creations of those worlds hold are exactly those spiritual beings that have come to death, which are to win back their life again and this is well possible in the stage as man. But since also now again My adversary uses his power .... which he has the right to do because his following once followed him voluntarily .... earthly life is now also responsible, for the human being can certainly reach highest perfection but also fall infinitely low. But for Me time plays no role, because once also the poorest spirit will surrender to Me and My love, once also My opponent will return to his father's house and be happy in My love ....

Amen

Doubting the perfection of God ....

B.D. 8948 from March 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Since only a short time is still given to you on earth, since the end is frighteningly close and therefore no time is at your disposal anymore, where you can work for Me, your task is also a far more difficult one, and it will require all your power, all your commitment, if you still want to be able to speak of successes. And it is also no easy work, which you are to do for Me, because it is still a matter to send a ray of light into darkness, which is to shine brightly, so that you recognize it, which darkness the opponent has already imposed on you, and you can only unmask his goings-on through a light from above. Believe it of Me that he always only wants to present Me and My image to you men distorted, that he thereby hopes for greatest success when My nature is presented to you wrongly, and that you men do not think about it because he also keeps your thoughts tied up. But I will again and again give you a light from above, although only few men allow such. But the few just have the task to carry the light further to give information about it that I am a God of love, who desires nothing more longingly than that He wins back His creatures as His children. And as a God of love I therefore reveal Myself again and again, as a God from Whom you once emerged perfectly, and that I will remain a God of love until all eternity .... As soon as you lose this belief that I can only be supremely perfect you will also have fallen prey to a misguided teaching which he, as My adversary, has only placed into the world in order to cloud your view, precisely so that you should no longer recognize Me as what I am .... And so he therefore succeeded in putting doubt into My perfection, and I therefore have to reveal Myself again and again anew and do this in view of the end with all urgency, by Me again explaining to men both the act of creation as well as the fall into the deep with all clarity, so that they are to think for themselves and have to recognize the nonsense of that what My opponent presented to them. Again and again he makes use of those who want to work for Me because he can intervene in their mind when only the opportunity is offered to him. But now the end is imminent, and I therefore sent a strong spirit of light to earth, which can offer resistance to him, and through this pure truth is once again supplied to you, which however likewise presupposes your free will to accept. For no coercion will be done to your free will. But I do not want that a man moves in wrong thinking, who is serious about truth. And that is why you are also to recognize your mission as urgent and serve Me with the whole use of your will. Because only in this way can clarity be given in that question, which also concerns the greatest problem .... the perfection of My being .... in which you all must believe if you don't want to doubt My greater than great love, which I bestowed on everything that came forth from Me and which truly did not want you to distance yourselves from Me either .... but which, in the end, also allows all evil you have done to take effect in such a way that it serves you for perfection .... You are never allowed to doubt My love, because it let you come into being; it continuously shone at you, and its effect was light and power, brightest knowledge and might, which also would never have withdrawn from you, if you yourselves would not have resisted its acceptance .... But then also the influence of that power on you was obvious, to which you had fallen prey, and this power will keep you in darkness, because you can only then resist its will when you express your desire for Me .... Then My love will be bestowed upon you again, then I will reveal Myself to you again and give you fullest clarity, and you will be able to distinguish error from truth .... For only through truth alone can you become blessed .... But error keeps you back in darkness, for it is its share, which is and will remain My adversary for an eternally long time ....

Amen

Confirmation of the prophesies ....

B.D. 8949 from March 6th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Don't let yourselves to be misled, even if the truth of My messages from above is doubted .... It will not take long until you receive the confirmation of that which I constantly announce to you. Yet it is difficult to persuade people who are still too attached to the world and its commodities to accept them, but then the events will affect them even more, for they will have to relinquish everything and be thankful that they were still allowed to keep their life. It will be indeed be a time of severe trials for all people who will be affected by the natural disaster, yet everyone who turns to Me with complete faith will visibly receive My help. This is why you should not miss any opportunity to draw your fellow human beings' attention to My intervention, which, however, will also stop an appalling earthly event, and which will clearly show that this adversity is not inflicted on you by people but that I Myself determine the distress which every individual shall have to bear, and which will certainly not be any less grievous yet will have to be regarded as the action of a higher Power which no human being can fight with his own strength. And then you humans will have to decide as to whether you want to acknowledge such a Power or whether you still deny it even then .... and this alone will determine your future fate. For then you will be helped by a power which will totally enslave you .... You will treat you fellow human beings in a ruthless manner and obtain everything you need at their expense in order to continue living your old way of life .... And yet he will not release you from his control anymore ....

However, anyone who is profoundly faithful will not be abandoned, I Myself will give him the necessary strength to persevere, because his love for his fellow human beings is evident and .... the measure he will use .... will also be the measure he will receive, for nothing is impossible for Me. And they will miraculously experience My help and humbly accept their situation. And the fact that it will come to pass is already specified in the Scriptures and has been proclaimed by seers and prophets time and again. But there is no-one left any longer who so firmly believes this that he will unreservedly commit himself to it, and even the recipients of My Word experience moments when they feel slight doubts creeping up on them. Yet they will be repeatedly instructed by Me to reveal themselves to their fellow human beings, and they certainly faithfully accomplish their work in My vineyard. For the one thing they are convinced of is that the time of the end has arrived, and therefore they also consider that My intervention will be possible .... especially since it is also confirmed in the Scriptures that 'there will be an earthquake so mighty, such as has not been seen since men were upon the earth.' And thus all the prophesies will come true because My Word is truth and must fulfil itself, only the day and hour has not been made known to you humans. And this is why you always postpone the event into the distant future without considering that one day the future will be the present and, thus, one day those people who happen to live at that time will be affected .... Let it be said to all of you that the time granted to you on earth is only short, and therefore do not doubt My Word which I transmit to earth because I don't want you to remain ignorant of the events ahead of you, because you still have time to change if you sincerely wanted to do so .... but that you can also irrevocably fall into the opponent's hands again and be bound with him so that you will have to cover the process through earthly creation once more .... You cannot be warned of this often enough because it is a bitter fate that you will have to bear again. Nevertheless, it cannot be avoided, for everything must be judged again and lawful order be re-established, so that the spiritual substances which are still bound in the form can also be helped to travel the path of return to Me one day in the state of self-awareness .... which therefore requires a total transformation of the earth's surface ....

Amen

Unusual knowledge transfer ....

B.D. 8950 from March 8th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You could not report out of yourselves about things, which are closed to your earthly knowledge, which were foreign to you until that time, when My spirit could work in you. And this must be proof to yourselves as well as to all who take note of it of a power, which wants to express itself, because you cannot simply deny such knowledge, because you cannot produce proof to the contrary. But you are nevertheless not forced to believe it because such a belief would be futile. But you should try to fathom that strength which gives you an account of the kingdom which lies beyond your earthly sphere .... you should take note of the fact that a 'being' expresses Itself Which wants to give you light about everything that is still hidden to you, because you can only be released from your spiritual blindness, which imprisons your spiritual eye, through knowledge of an unusual kind. Where limits are set to human intellectual thinking, there these limits will be exceeded through enlightenments which My spirit holds in store for you but which, again, will only be grasped by those who want to gain insight into the area which is mostly denied as existing .... but which, in truth, is the real world .... And to those I reveal Myself through My spirit by first imparting to them the knowledge about their outcome and the aim, by giving them knowledge about their existence as a human being .... about their past transgressions against Me and about the path of return to Me. Otherwise than through the work of My spirit in man no knowledge can be given to you about it, and also this work in you is dependent on the fulfilment of certain conditions, but all of you could fulfil these conditions, because I want to make every individual happy, if he just lets himself be made happy. But people lack the desire for correct, truthful enlightenment, and this is the sign of too firm a bond with the earthly world, which does not allow such thoughts to arise in them and therefore they continue to walk along in spiritual blindness .... And so also the process of an unusual imparting of knowledge is unbelievable for you men; you are easily inclined to put it down as religious raving or own fantasy, and also let yourselves be little impressed by the content, because no desire drives you to it to know the pure truth .... although it would be beneficial for all of you to learn about all processes in the spiritual kingdom before your existence as man, so that you would now know about the meaning of earth life. But because every compulsion is eliminated, so as not to take away your free will, I can only ever give you knowledge of it .... whether you want to believe it or not, that is up to you. But if you consider that your life is not over with the death of your body if you only wanted to believe this and that you then have to resign yourselves to the fate which earthly life has brought you, then you would certainly go through it more responsibly. You would also unhesitatingly accept that knowledge which truly gives you information about everything that moves your thoughts .... And you would establish the bond with Me yourselves, Who is the source of that spiritual knowledge Myself, because the darkened state in which you find yourselves lasts for Me when you walk across the earth without a light. Because everything what is and exists around you still proves to you a creator, and the legal order, which you are able to recognize, proves to you that this creator is a 'thinking being', that he himself has a will and therefore is to be addressed as the power, which is subject to everything .... but that this power is to be found in another area, which you are to strive for, because it is your true home. And to already know something about this kingdom, that you should all make an effort for, because everyone is considered according to his desire ....

Amen

Decision test: Confessing Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8951 from March 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Which way you take, that you determine yourselves in free will, however provided that you have knowledge both of My will as well as of the nature of My opponent, who always works against My will. And you will always experience this through the voice of conscience .... you will always have the feeling for good and evil in you, because you recognize the effect of good or bad action in yourselves. Therefore My will will also always prevail in you when you feel driven to good, while the work of the opponent triggers ignoble urges in you and you yourselves would defend yourselves when fellowman would let out such urges on you. And so every man can say that he very well knows when he commits an injustice because he rebels as soon as it is committed against himself. But My adversary then has him in his power, from which only one can free him, if he gives himself to Him .... Jesus Christ, the redeemer of mankind .... For He has broken his power with His death on the cross, and He has paid the purchase price for all sins of the past, present and future. He did it out of love for the fallen brothers. But these must accept redemption through Him in free will. Every man must recognize and confess himself as sinful and want to become free from the sin guilt, then also his will will experience strengthening, because Jesus Christ has acquired this favour of strengthening of the will for you at the cross. And exactly for the will of men the adversary fights with a perseverance to not lose them .... But also the light world wages the fight for them, and I Myself truly do everything to win them for Me. But I cannot force a person, just as My adversary cannot exert force either .... thus the human being himself makes the final decision. That is the test of will whether you men choose Me or My opponent to your lord, and you can be glad when the possibility of a decision is still offered to you in the kingdom on the other side, that you are also there still put before the choice to ascend up, when you still find the divine redeemer over there, or to sink again into the deep, that he then can completely take possession of you and you then again become irrevocably banished in matter. If My love alone would be determining, then I would free you abruptly out of his power, but this contradicts My law of eternal order; it would also contradict My justice, which demands atonement for all guilt and without this atonement cannot receive you into the kingdom of light. That is why you must acknowledge Him and ask for forgiveness of your guilt, Who has made this atonement for you vicariously. That you now completely disregard the gospel of love in the time of the end and that exactly this has caused your spiritual low, is to be regarded as work of My adversary, who himself, lacking all love, also seeks to stifle it in you to make the way back to Me more difficult for you. But only through love can you also regain My love, that it can shine on you and change you again to your original being. And that is why your state is also so hopeless when you do not desire this change yourselves, when the will does not awaken in you to unite with Me again, and you thereby take away My opponent's right over you .... But exactly this you have to accomplish yourselves, I cannot and must not induce you to it, because it is about your free decision of will, which alone makes a becoming perfect possible, even if I still have to wait eternities .... But one day I will succeed, one day you will voluntarily turn to Me, and you will voluntarily let yourselves be illuminated by My love again and be blissfully happy again, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

God's support in the vineyard work ....

B.D. 8952 from March 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You will be guided the ways where you are to bring My gospel, and it is nothing without meaning and purpose what you also undertake .... Because I know the hearts, which are still to be addressed, and who still opens himself for My gift of favour, he will also reach the destination, to the union with Me still on earth. But you know yourselves that not many will listen to you anymore because the earthly world still holds them captive. Nevertheless, you should not refrain from trying, for individuals can be found everywhere who will listen to you and who will be impressed by the spiritual knowledge you offer them. Because also their souls desire a feeding, and they feel your words beneficently, because I also know exactly when they are receptive for it, and I therefore speak to them Myself through you. Always just pursue your vineyard work; do not become despondent when you seem to have no success, because I know to direct all thoughts; I know about the possibilities, which you do not know, but which are decisive that they feel touched by My word. Always consider that already a small hint is enough to help them to believe in a God, who takes care of all men in love, who wants to rescue them from the abyss and who therefore speaks to you. Consider that you have the possibility to give them proof .... Try to make it clear to them in all love that they only need to call upon Me in spirit and in truth in order to be able to expect help from Me in every adversity of body and soul .... But leave the decision up to them .... And you have done what you could do, for every man's heart must of itself take the way to Me .... This is the task of the disciples of the end-times, which they are to fulfil loyally and conscientiously, that they are active in My name, that they carry the gospel out into the world, that they emphasize love towards God and towards the neighbour as most important, the fulfilment of which then also guarantees an eternal life in happiness. You all no longer have much time, and your activity therefore becomes more and more urgent; you are not allowed to become lukewarm and indifferent, because you have offered yourselves to Me as mediators, who address men instead of Me, but whom I also need, because I cannot address men Myself, and you are to fulfil this task dutifully. But rarely only will a servant, who has offered himself to Me for service, put this task on hold; rarely only will he slacken in the spreading of truth, because again and again this truth is sent to him from above and he therefore recognizes the urgency, because as soon as I Myself can have an effect in him, he has also completely surrendered himself to Me will-wise, and he is guided by Me all ways, as I see it as beneficial. And the near end dictates that every servant uses all his strength to still contribute to the salvation of souls, what is possible for him. But you can be sure of My support .... I want to fill each one of you with strength; I always want to give you a hint when you are to address a person and bring him My word .... service for Me will always be an inner need for you, you will take pleasure in it and not feel it to be a burden, for all those who serve Me are My children who are also assured of their father's blessing ....

God's everlasting help to completion ....

B.D. 8953 from March 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I know no other aim than to make you happy forever, and even if you have to go through suffering and tribulation on earth, everything serves to reshape you again into what you were in the beginning: perfect beings, but which have now become My 'children' of their own free will, with whom I can create and work in all bliss .... But since it concerns a state which no longer has an end, your earthly life is only a very short moment and therefore also all suffering and all tribulation is limited. And you will thank Me that I used all these means to form you so that you can enjoy eternal happiness, because you can now supply light even to the still imperfect; you can take part in the redemption of innumerable souls, which still cover the course over earth with the same aim to also reach perfection. And these souls all still have to feel great suffering and affliction; they still stand in the midst of the fight against the dark forces; they have not yet decided for Me, and that is why the hardship will become more and more violent, because mankind has mercy on Me, because it stands shortly before the end, and I still use all means to make the decision for Me easy for them .... Yet I will only achieve little success with it, and yet I give all people the assurance that they will one day reach the aim, that I will not leave any soul in darkness for eternity, that it will one day return to Me .... Yet the souls themselves determine the length of time until their return .... For they are subject to the law of time and space, and they will remain subject to this law until they have perfected themselves, until time and space are eliminated for them .... until they can dwell where they want, and also past, present and future are no longer separate concepts for them. Then they will also only see the past as a moment; they will certainly be able to put themselves into it, but no longer feel pain; every event will be understandable to them, because they recognize it as means of My love and therefore sing praise and thanks to Me that I helped them to perfection. Then your earth life is truly only like a moment, measured in eternity .... But as man you are still equipped with the concept of time and space, which only stops with your perfection, because also this is the result of your fall to the deep, that you became limited in all sensations, however always only both to your own agony as also to the relief of earth existence, because only that could be imposed on you, what you are able to carry. But nevertheless, during earthly time you also have the opportunity to place all burdens on His shoulders, Who died for you and your guilt of sin on the cross .... if you hand yourselves over to Him, then everything will seem bearable to you, and you will patiently take everything upon yourselves and thus also reach the aim more easily .... to complete union with Me, Who then can also prepare bliss for you without measure. But as long as you yourselves prevent Me from it, by you not acknowledging Me and therefore deny Me as before every acknowledgment, you are also powerless, because My love cannot illuminate you, therefore you will also feel every suffering stronger; you will go through earth life in agony and tribulation or be supported by My opponent, who demands your soul for it. But suffering is a sign that I will not let you fall, that I wrestle for your soul because you do not yet want to accept My love .... which would also avert suffering for you .... Take it upon yourselves patiently, and know that I do everything to turn your looks towards Me, and take earth life only as a temporary test, which you have to pass .... It will pass, just as everything earthly is transient .... But if you emerge from this test purified, you will thank Me eternally for having saved you from a fall into the abyss, which will result in the endless long walk through earth's creation again ....

Amen

Creation miracles should make you think ....

B.D. 8954 from March 14th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Again and again the wonders of creation are pointed out to you, and you should not blindly pass them by, for everything around you proves Me and My might, yet you humans are incapable of letting even the tiniest little plant, the smallest living being come into being .... not to mention yourselves as the crown of creation. And you move in the midst of the whole creation as something completely independent and self-evident and do not ask what meaning and purpose creation serves. And everything should still remind you of a creator, who is exceedingly wise and powerful and Whom His love determines to create such an environment for you, in which you are to enjoy yourselves. You yourselves .... as the greatest marvel of My creation .... you can think, and you only apply this privilege to create for yourselves everything that would be added to you in vain if you would think about the meaning and purpose of creation and yourselves and now live according to this purpose. Because as I maintain the whole creation, so also I maintain your bodily life and all worry about it would be useless. But the thoughts of men go other ways .... what is nearest to them they pay no attention to, nor do they think about the creator and sustainer of all things .... But every such thought would be answered for them out of the kingdom of light, and that truly so that they would now also see in Me as their creator the motive why and for what purpose I have put man on earth. And such an attitude would be right and would soon let man mature that he would fulfil the meaning and purpose of earth life .... But how different is it with the creatures, which My will has put into this world? They carelessly pass by what I have given them for joy, and not with one thought do they dwell on Me and ask themselves about the reason of their earth life. But with increased eagerness they chase after the world with its goods, and their whole wanting and thinking is meant for the bodily well-being. But exactly the earthly world is the kingdom of My adversary, whom I certainly overruled by letting creation come into being, therefore took his following from him, but had to leave him his rule over you in the stage as man, where he now seeks to have an effect on you again with all power through "his world", through hard matter, in which the whole immature spiritual is bound .... And exactly this "matter" you strive for and in your desire you go far back, because it was eternities ago when you had overcome this matter and had advanced upwards in your development. And that is why you are so endangered by your desire for earthly goods, because as soon as it fills your whole sensing, you will hardly still look at the creation around you and also not ask yourselves for what purpose I let it come into being. And precisely this question could become a blessing for you, because then you would recognize your creator as a God of love, wisdom and might, to Whom you could turn and establish a close bond with Him .... And your purpose of earthly life would be fulfilled, for I truly do not ask much of you, I only want one thing, that you should recognize and learn to love Me. And the work of creation around you is most capable of that, that you look at all these miraculous works in thoughts of Me and your love towards Me grows and you want to get into contact with Me to now no longer loosen this bond. Creation is therefore proof of My existence and My love for all created things; you can recognize Me Myself, and you will also know that only love has allowed it to come into being. And you will ask yourselves why My love thus became effective .... And the answer will always be given to you if you earnestly desire it, for light will come to all who desire light ....

Amen

Only prayer protects from the adversary's activity ....

B.D. 8955 from March 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The closer it gets to the end the more violent becomes My adversary's activity, and you all will feel it, for no day will pass by without causing you unrest or tasting his treachery in other ways. And nothing else helps but your prayer .... your connection with the One Who is his Lord too, Who defeated him through His death on the cross. A heartfelt prayer will re-establish the inner peace which he wants to deprive you of. For his power will be defeated when you turn to Me, no matter how much he strives to agitate you. The battles against him become increasingly fiercer for he will not let up pushing you, and time and again I have to tell you that only prayer will protect you from his activity. For then you demonstrate that you are looking for Me and want to be released from him, and then I can use My power against him, I can prevent him from continuing his harassments since then your own will gives Me the right to deal with him.

But in the last days his rage will become ever stronger, and yet he will not succeed with My Own, with those who desire Me with all their heart and call upon Me for My protection. And whom else would I rather protect than My Own, who always want to be in contact with Me and have offered their services to Me? You should just believe that I also have power over him, that you have not been defencelessly left at his mercy and that you will have the strength to repel his every intrusion. And you should draw this strength from My Word, you should always engross yourselves in this Word and then you will be surrounded by light which he, however, avoids and so you will be released from him.

And don't allow yourselves to be held captive by the world, for then he can enter secretly and entice you with its goods .... Then he will also have a certain amount of power over you which you won't recognise since he is able to deceive you. However, in that case I cannot help you, for you hand yourselves over to him and forget about Me, and then you will have to struggle for your inner bond with Me, only then will you realise what it means to have detached yourselves from Me, for once he owns something he holds on to it. But I won't let anyone fall who seriously desires Me, he will just have to struggle considerably in order to get back to the same level he had previously been on ....

Make sure that the adversary will not gain power over you and call on Me in your ordeal, for I Am always willing to help you if your call comes from your heart. Just don't let the world get the better of you, for then you will be served by the one who is lord over this world, and all I can do is wait until you find the way back to Me ....

Amen

Free will must be granted to every human being ....

B.D. 8956 from March 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I will always and forever respect the freedom of the will of My creatures. Because free will is the sign of the divinity of the beings, which no-one will force, neither I Myself nor My opponent. But man can subordinate this free will to Mine in the stage of his being on earth, which means so much as that I now can judge him Myself and he is then therefore relieved of all responsibility. But as long as he still lives on this earth as man he will again and again be exposed to the oppressions of the opponent, and he will again and again try to have an effect on his will, because only in the state of perfection the opponent has lost power over him, because he then is radiated through by My love, which the opponent flees .... But the adversary can only have an effect on a person insofar as he works on him mentally, that he stimulates him to sinful activity, to violations of the lawful order .... in any case to all God-opposing action, because every action is first preceded by the thought and this is just the direct influence of satan. The beings of light will have the same effect on man, and this fight takes place uninterruptedly in the spiritual kingdom for the soul of man, but which now man himself brings to an end. And since every man still has weaknesses in himself or some shortcomings, the opponent again and again finds a niche, whereby it is always mainly about to confuse man mentally, because every act is rooted in thought. And since man's will is free, he can also turn the thoughts according to every direction. But since I now also have to reckon with it that My opponent intervenes when it is about the supply of pure truth .... since I cannot possibly make the will of man unfree, who offers himself to Me (as word receiver) for it .... it is understandable that only the most intimate bond with Me can exclude the danger of error, which therefore now has to be established in order to be safe from the influence of the counter-spirit .... Although spirits of light always made themselves available for the purpose of a mission, they nevertheless had to go through the abyss, thus they were not spared human weaknesses and mistakes, and their life is often extremely difficult .... So it is now to be understood that they well fulfil their mission and yet their free will also does not prevent the reception of erroneous thought material, if the heartfelt call for protection from error does not precede it .... For I cannot protect the human being from mental deceptions by the adversary if he does not desire this protection himself and thereby completely surrenders himself to Me .... So you also have to reckon with the fact that wrong thought material entered by My opponent has always crept into divine revelations, because the train of thought could be deceived exactly there, where a certain thought was discussed, whereby I was not asked for answer before .... But now the same danger exists that the free will of a man is worked on by the opponent, and you can have the same concerns .... But in the face of the end, where it is about the supply of light into the dark earth valley, I sent a strong spirit of light to earth, who indeed also .... like every other man .... must have his free will at his disposal, who also takes it no less seriously to serve Me as a 'word recipient', but to whom I Myself can grant protection against all error because he asks for it, because he is also not burdened with a previous knowledge which My adversary took as the occasion for a misguided teaching of such great importance that My former servant did not want to free himself from it .... but it is also so extraordinarily momentous that I have tried again and again to correct it .... But that is exactly what men hold on to, always relying on the credibility of him, who also could be wrong because he had free will. You must always consider that I never ever use coercion, and whether it also applies to bring the highest wisdom to you men .... that you are free and must remain so, because otherwise I would act against My law of eternal order .... But men who wanted to be instructed in the pure truth also took offence at it, and their thoughts came closer to the truth .... So only the blind resigned themselves to it and gave credence to a teaching that confronted Me with evil .... a teaching in which My adversary has the greatest interest because it makes Me out to be deficient, as I can never be. And a cleansing wave will now go over earth where this question will be discussed so that all who earnestly desire truth will also see clearly why and why such error could creep in .... Because free will explains everything, but which is also not allowed to be denied to a 'word-recipient' and which he himself only needed to voluntarily subordinate to Me, but which he has omitted with that question ....

Amen

Full trust in God and His love ....

B.D. 8957 from April 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Only always commend yourselves to My mercy .... And it will be granted to you in abundance .... I am able to work everything, and so also I can remedy every bodily weakness when you entrust yourselves to Me believingly. Because everything is possible for Me, the most powerful being in infinity, Who gives His love to every one of His creatures. But whose trust is so strong that he has not the slightest doubt about this My power and love? You are well convinced that it is possible for Me, but not that I want to and can supply you Myself with proof that My love is also so great and wants to help you in your trouble. And this doubt about My love is what ties My hands, that love cannot work in all its strength and let you recover in an instant .... Believe in My love, which knows no limit, which has followed you to the deep and which is valid for you until all eternity .... (2.4.1965) Because My love never stops, and it wants to make you happy. And this love has also not decreased through your falling away to the deep, because since My original being is pure love, such would be impossible, because it knows no limitation. And once you men imagine this that only love determines My whole being, then also no doubt could be anymore in you that this love is always prepared to help you .... But one thing is a prerequisite that you return love to Me, that you also feel love towards Me, even if not to the same extent, because you are not able to do it, but it must fill your whole being. But then you could also believe, and you would trust Me without hesitation that I fulfil all your requests. But even if you do not experience My love as you wish, you can still be convinced that you possess My love, for I truly know what serves you best, and furthermore, I am willingly prepared to take your cross upon Myself if you want to burden Me with it, if you believe that you cannot bear it on your own .... Therefore bear all suffering patiently and humbly, for earthly time passes quickly. But one day you will also thank Me for it, because you can radiantly enter the kingdom of light and bliss .... because then you will be rid of all dross and you can now enjoy all glories until all eternity ....

Amen

Divine mercy spring ....

B.D. 8958 from April 3rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When the divine flow of favour pours into a man's heart, then a spring opens, out of which you can draw living water, which will also never ever run dry, as long as man's will is prepared for it. For I Myself have given you this promise that rivers of living water will flow from your body, and how else would My words be understood? You yourselves are able to receive My divine spirit current and to let it flow on, because I want to send this love care to you, that you receive power from Me directly and can provide yourselves again and again anew with power for your pilgrimage on earth, so that you do not sink down powerless in a desolate area, where still the long way up lies before you. Because My love does not leave you without help; it is always prepared to supply you with food, with a fresh drink of life and with a delicious bread, at which you can feast. But you must always be prepared yourselves to open the source in you, and you must also let your fellowmen take part in the delicious gift, which flows towards you uninterruptedly. Because you all need it quite necessary, if you want to end your earth way powerfully; you all are to be fed with heavenly food, to once be able to reach your destination, to return to Me, from Whom you once started. Until My flow of favour can touch you, you are still in densest darkness, because that is the bread of heaven, the living water, that you are to again take note of the cause of your being on this earth. You are to again win a knowledge, which has been lost to you and you are to receive such knowledge from Me Myself, Who opens up this source, wherever a willing heart is found. For with knowledge you also receive the strength to fulfil your earth task, you remain in constant contact with Me, otherwise My flow of grace could not touch you, and you are certain to reach your aim, for you have detached yourselves from My adversary, who no longer has you under his control because you turn to Me .... And so therefore all My promises come true for him who also fulfils the conditions, which I have attached to it. Because all My words, which I spoke on earth, were not spoken in vain. But who still respects them? They have become empty words to which you men no longer give meaning, which you speak without being aware of their great meaning. But My word is spirit and life, it gives you spiritual knowledge and thus true life, just as everything that comes forth from Me will give life to the dead .... And dead you all are at your embodiment as man, and you are to be awakened to life .... But that which is slow to come to life must be nourished with strong food and refreshing drink .... And such food I offer to all of you, but leave it up to everyone to accept it, but blessed is he who comes to My table and lets himself be fed and watered by Me .... He will come to life and never lose this life again .... Every man can prepare himself as vessel of My spiritual current, and I will also consider every man according to his love and his degree of maturity, but which he will always increase the more he receives from Me .... Everyone who establishes the intimate bond with Me can also feel addressed by Me, for this bond guarantees him right thinking, and thus every person need only pay attention to his thoughts .... but he should not accept the thoughts of those who are not yet in intimate bond with Me themselves, he should only ever consult himself and know that he then cannot think wrongly, providing he is not pre-loaded with knowledge which he is not prepared to surrender .... Then he must first free himself from it and unconditionally hand himself over to Me and I will instruct him according to My promise that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh, for truth will not be denied to anyone who earnestly desires it .... But when you humans are obviously led to a spring from which My living water flows, then lie down by it, draw from the water of life and gather strength for your earthly walk, for truly, you will then have found a flow of grace which will safely lead you to the aim .... to unification with Me, to the final return to your father's house ....

Amen

Keen intellect is an obstacle to correct realisation ....

B.D. 8959 from April 5th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is not a good sign if people lose themselves in unbelief, for then they will be beyond every contact with their God and Creator, they will be purely earthly minded and everything they undertake will only serve the body's preservation and comfort which, however, will cease to exist when the person's last hour has come. And where the only purpose in life is the earthly world, life on earth is a waste of time, the human soul leaves its body in the same state as it was at the beginning of its embodiment and will not have taken one step forward, people will have missed their purpose in life regardless of their highly developed intellect .... It is precisely their keen intellect which prevents them from recognising a spiritual world if they are entirely without love, then they will flatly deny a God and Creator and consider all creations merely a matter of natural law without spending any thought on the fact that there has to be a Lawmaker Whose will controls everything .... In that case, the human being's 'higher stage of development' will have already been reached in a purely human sense .... Through his intellect the human being believes himself to be in the vanguard and almost cannot be surpassed anymore, but in his psychological development he has not made the slightest progress and yet he can be inferior to someone far below his level, because the latter will be judged by God according to his love, which also causes him to believe in a Deity .... regardless of what he calls It .... And if this person, on account of his love, also allows the working of the spirit in him, he will come close to the right way of thinking, and then he will be saved for time and eternity. And so there is also the risk that even people to whom a certain belief in a God cannot be denied will join misguided spiritual movements, to which they adhere with great tenacity, who don't want to accept Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world and who therefore .... if they don't receive the right explanation before .... will enter the realm of the beyond without Him when they die .... and even over there not accept anything in order to still find Him. And there are a great number of those .... For this reason, the light of truth will shine time and again, for truth alone is liberating. But the truth, in particular, is not accepted by people with an unusually keen intellect apart from a few, who will then think correctly and feel dependent on an all-controlling power .... These few will take their worldly knowledge across with them as well and from there they will also be able to enlighten those people in regards to worldly questions who think like them by acknowledging God .... but this will only seldom be the case.

The others, however, will enter the beyond entirely without knowledge, they will stand completely empty and poverty stricken at the gate to the kingdom of the beyond, embraced by profound darkness which will not recede until they, with the help of the beings of light, gradually achieve a change of thinking. But there is also a danger that they will descend even further into darkness and that they will approach a renewed banishment again which, at the end of an earthly period, can easily be the case because they will not have much time left to change their mind. Hence their 'progressive development' will be of no use to them at all, spiritually they will be far more like a human being who is disregarded due to his race and yet is able to kindle love within his heart, who still believes in a God, regardless of how he imagines Him to be but he feels and believes that he emerged from this Power .... And when a person like this is informed of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ as well he will also belong to the redeemed, for especially people like that take it far more seriously and live their earthly lives responsibly .... For the saying 'The first will be last ....' also applies to this. This is why a great blessing rests on the messengers' activity who care for those people by bringing them the Word of God, who spare no effort and selflessly promote the distribution of the teaching of salvation through Jesus Christ, since it is the most important information people should know about. However, anyone who believes that life has come to an end after earthly death has used his keen intellect badly, for there is enough evidence that nothing passes away but that everything merely changes, nothing ceases to exist but that everything merely changes its external shape. And thus the human being's soul is everlasting too, but after death it reverts to the way which corresponds to its earthly life .... Hence, it returns to the state of death since it failed on earth to give life to itself .... And this state is extremely painful but can always still be improved with the help of the beings of light, which will never leave any soul to its own devices if it does not harden in its substance again and has to take the path across earth once more. For God is righteous and earthly life is a gift of grace which has to be utilised by the human being, since it is possible for him to gain the life for himself which will make him forever blissfully happy .... However, he cannot receive happiness against his will, for God respects the free will of men ....

Amen

Love recognises the error in the beyond .... Intercession ....

B.D. 8960 from April 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Everything that still is and has to remain hidden from you on earth, because your state of maturity would not be able to comprehend it, will be revealed to you. But as soon as you enter (the kingdom of the beyond) with just a small amount of knowledge you will know that you can raise your awareness at any time .... You will know that you only need to be actively loving in order to receive without measure. But you need to have this small glimmer of light, then you will automatically get to the place where further knowledge is available, and your higher development will continue. And your longing to hear increasingly more intensifies the more knowledge you are given, because My gifts are unlimited but they always have to be wholeheartedly desired .... And thus, every human being living with love on earth also knows that he has a light which illuminates the path he has to travel. Only love will be taken into account, and thus the soul’s state corresponds to its degree of love when it enters the spiritual kingdom. But then it will also recognise the error as such and detach itself from it, for no beatitude can be expected from error. Misconception confuses (people’s) thoughts and has to be preceded by a long struggle before the soul is released from it ....

The fact that most people pass away from earth with misconceptions would be of little consequence had the person overcome his selfishness and lived in unselfish neighbourly love. Then he would automatically arrive in places where a light is shining, where it is either radiated to earth or conveyed to him by the messengers of light. Hence his fate depends on the degree of his love, and only I can recognise this since no thought is hidden from Me. If a human being endeavours to reach Me .... if he is only interested in doing what pleases Me, he has proven that he wants to fulfil his task on earth. If he then takes the wrong path, which makes it difficult to find Me, then his will for Me is taken into account and I will help him to attain perfection.

But only a person who accepts his neighbour as his brother can love Me, because selfless neighbourly love is always proof of love for Me .... given that I ignore mere words without a living faith. In that case, however, the soul will not disassociate itself from error either, because only love is the light which provides the soul with a glimmer of knowledge. Then the person’s entry into the kingdom of the beyond is just a continuation of what was more important to him than his love for Me, then he remains subject to error until he is able to free himself from it. But since you humans on earth do not know in what state a person leaves earthly life, and you cannot be directly informed of it either because you should forward intercessory thoughts for all souls, this intercession is indeed necessary if you want to protect each soul from a potentially very long time before it can free itself from error. You can only be certain that outright souls of love will enter the spheres of light, all other souls require your intercession. And they will be truly grateful to you for it, after all, only a loving prayer sent to Me will be helpful .... and not the prayers of congregations, which are intended to help the soul to beatitude.

Remember the deceased, and let them know that you want to give them My Word to enlighten them, which is food and drink for the souls, nourishment to strengthen them, because many souls are still suffering great hardship by living in twilight, if they are not entirely engulfed by profound darkness. Even then you can release these souls through heartfelt prayer, they will feel blissful relief and gradually let go of their opposition to Me .... I want all souls to find salvation even now, I don’t want them to be devoured again by the abyss. I want that Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation is brought to them time and again, which they will comprehend ever better the more light they are given. For loving intercession is strength which will benefit every soul you pray for .... All souls appeal to you for this because they are unhappy as long as they have not found salvation through Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for all sins ....

Amen

Matter is compressed spiritual strength ....

B.D. 8961 from April 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All My creations are the fallen spirits, original beings, who once refused their activity and were transformed therefore to all those creations, which you see, and even those, that are hidden from your eyes, but serve the fallen spiritual partly as an external cover, or even more are bound themselves in the creations of all kinds. You must know, that I let arise the creation, because of the fallen spirits, but that also spiritual creations arise and are purchased, that My will alone created for the world, which moves in the light, but that these creations are incomprehensible for you, because they belong to the glories, that I have prepared for them, who love Me .... So everything visible to you .... even the most distant stars, which are visible by you as sparks of light .... the world, which has created My boundless love for the fallen spirits, but in their own way so versatile, that it can also absorb the spiritual in all stages of maturity, but are not recognized by you. But what you can not see .... that are spiritual creations, which My constant creative drive turned out, which only can be seen by you, when you have obtained a level of maturity, that allows you the spiritual insight. The number of fallen beings is incomprehensible for you and requires an infinite number of school buildings. You can not view allone the creations of the earth as such, even when there is spoken of “earthly“ matter .... but all these creations are more or less solid substance, which have removed from Me further or closer depending on the grade of their apostasy, or also spirit beings, who have already reduced the distance from Me and have not yet reached the highest abundance of light. But all those beings once followed My opponent, when he apostatized from Me, but he could not stop them, when they separated from him and did not plummet to the extreme depth. I used their substances to those creations, that could have far easier living conditions, consequently did not require those poor and miserable creations, like the earth has to have, because the hardest substances should come to mature on her, (this maturation) however only may be terminated on this earth to reach a childship to God. My versatility is not limited and ( so=the Eds.) you may behold always new creations during your maturation, when this life on earth did not obtain you the success, that you can go in the kingdom of light completely spiritualized, where you expect beautiful spiritual creations, which will bless you unmeasured. But that I also can create matter, that is non-fallen spritual being, that does not need to be doubted, because to Me nothing is impossible and all matter is compressed (spiritual) strength, which has thus been compressed to form .... But such a process takes place only then, when I self pursue a certain intention with this, how that has happened, when I created an outer shell on a pure spirit of light, in which I wanted to embody Myself and this can not be eternal in a once fallen soul .... For even a non-fallen spirit, that crosses the earth for the purpose of achieving a childship to God, must pass through the depth and therefore will need an earthly body, but which reaches far faster ripening, in which the resistance against Me is easier to break and also achieves his aim with certainty in one earthly life .... But I know about the state of each individual soul, and it is My desire, to wrest the souls from My opponent in the possible shortest time and thus to turn away one soul after another from the original spirit Lucifer .... so that in the end only the lost son remains, who will devote to Me, who I take in, because he has returned to his Father’s house ....

'Test the spirits whether they are of God ....' 1 John 4:1-3 ....

B.D. 8962 from April 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The human being's will must remain free, it can neither be forced to accept nor to reject something, for this is the law of divine order. However, it will always be possible to recognise what you are offered through My great love and grace, therefore you should not rashly renounce something just because it exposes existing errors and provides you with a truthful explanation .... Consider that you are only offered something better, that you ought to let go of negative thoughts which give you a wrong image of Me .... consider that something is merely being corrected that cannot be reconciled with My perfection .... Furthermore, consider that it cannot be the work of an evil spirit which provides you with clarification about Jesus and His act of Salvation .... Also remember that nothing remains as unchanged as it once originated from Me, because no human being exists who is already perfect and that therefore every person can also err .... but that I, if an error has occurred, must always correct it again in order to guide you into the pure truth once more. If the explanations about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation therefore make you humans realise that it can only be the working of a good spirit .... and if you are repeatedly informed of the fact that in the very beginning I externalised you in all perfection .... if I only ever describe the act of creation to you in a way that you need not doubt My perfection, then I also have had My reason for this, which consists of the great error far too many people have accepted by now .... Hence I had to refute it and choose a vessel for Myself, whose credibility can always be verified by you through the clarification about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, about the reason and significance of the same.

And truly, only I Myself could have addressed you, only I Myself could have explained all correlations to you and provided you with the evidence that you are addressed by Me .... So why don't you want to accept the explanation about the error which, after all, is clearly self-evident? I do not contradict Myself, yet anyone can clearly recognise an obvious contradiction if he seriously thinks about My nature ....

But the offer of the pure truth also resolves other questions which necessarily had to follow an erroneous thought, such as these: Why did I make such an effort to lead the spirits, whose 'fall into sin' was (supposedly) caused by 'Me Myself', out of this wretched condition again? ..... And why would I want to lead you into perfection if I Am not perfect Myself, which is indicated by the fact that you look upon Me as being afflicted with human weaknesses .... a statement which never came forth from Me and must therefore be regarded as satanic influence. I cannot often enough oppose this misguided teaching .... that all opposites are inherent in Me .... but you have accepted it as a matter of fact precisely because, as human beings, you cannot conceive anything of perfection. The whole act of creation would have proceeded without love and wisdom, and yet, love and wisdom were the decisive factors .... However, it cannot be reconciled with My love and wisdom that I created My living creations with evil instincts, because in that case one cannot speak of a 'sin against Me', but this has occurred and consisted of the 'rejection of My strength of love' .... This sin is the reason why the being has to take the appalling process through the creations, and this sin will only be removed when the human being once again voluntarily desires My illumination. This sin of resisting My strength of love also resulted in spiritual darkness, during which the being was receptive for the evil characteristics My adversary had brought into being. Hence it reversed its nature into the opposite and must dispel all these evil characteristics during its earthly progress, and I will help it do so in every possible way. Yet the redemption of the immense sin of rejecting My strength of love necessitated Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... It cannot be removed by the being itself because it took place in a state of brightest realisation, in a state of perfection, which should have stopped the being, but the sin had already been the adversary's influence who was the first to reject My love and, in this state, brought forth all evil and transferred it onto those beings which voluntarily surrendered to him and thus plunged into the abyss with him .... Of what use is it to you if I constantly speak of My infinite love for you, had it caused your fall in the past in the first place? This boundless love can only be possessed by a profoundly perfect Being, and this Being also endeavours to bestow upon you your former perfection again, which you had willingly given up. Consequently, I will repeatedly counteract misguided teachings in order to return your faith in My perfection so that I will gain all of your love as well, which shall restore the original state again in which you once emerged from Me ....

Do the Gospels correspond to truth? ....

B.D. 8963 from April 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The question occupying you is understandable if you wish to know the truth. The fact that changes had occurred everywhere cannot be denied, because I do not exert force on a person's free will even if he himself implements changes, partly as a result of wrong translations, but partly also caused by the use of language which differs everywhere and also promotes various interpretations. Even the transcripts of the original text diverge from each other were you to compare them, but they do not distort My teaching, they describe My Words as I had spoken them, because these Words of Mine are and will remain everlasting. But now you desire to know who has been instructed by Me to record My divine teaching of love, as well as My way of life, and I can only reply to this that John .... My favourite disciple .... had the direct order from Me and thus also complied with this task. However, My disciple Matthew, having been likewise capable of writing, also left scripts behind in which he mentioned more factual events, hence he was an equally faithful servant, yet minor discrepancies occurred in his transcripts which, however, cannot be explained such that every scribe saw the same events differently, instead, it concerns multiple events, for I have often done the same. Even so, this Gospel is still hidden from you and was replaced by a disciple of the same name who was impelled by the spirit of God, just like the evangelists Luke and Mark, who only during later years wrote down what they had heard about Me and My act of Salvation. You can rest assured that they were influenced by My spirit, otherwise they would never have attempted to tackled such work .... And it will indeed be possible for every spiritually awakened person to recognise these minor discrepancies, which had slipped in later, but he will always be able to keep to My direct Words, since I protect 'My Word' from being changed. Admittedly, you can also interpret these Words of Mine wrongly, which indeed you have done, thereby giving the spoken Word a different meaning, but a spiritually awakened person will always recognise them as being wrong.

So if you know that you are allowed to unhesitatingly accept all Gospels as being conveyed by My spirit, as long as you merely assign different periods of time to the process of the transfer, then the Gospel of John was the first one given by Me, because John more or less witnessed everything and was therefore able to describe it in greatest detail. However, the other Gospels can also be unreservedly believed. For they do not contradict each other, merely in the course of time minor changes have occurred which, however, are insignificant and recognisable. If the translators keep firmly to the original text, if they don't change the words according to their linguistic usage, it can also be assumed that the Gospels will remain pure, but the latter should be avoided because it can completely change the meaning. And even the 'expositions' require an awakened spirit .... worldly studies, even if they are of a spiritual nature, are to no avail .... And time and again such 'expositions' arise which deviate from correct thinking, and so many a passage exists which is purely interpreted in a human way, whereas it should only be understood spiritually .... and this always ever concerns passages where clarifications were given .... On account of people's free will I cannot prevent this, nevertheless, wherever possible I protect the Word I have spoken during My life time on earth, so that those of you who want to know the truth may find the right explanation .... For such questions will only be asked by a seriously-minded person who is not satisfied with scriptures of unknown origin and whose questions only prove that he loves the pure truth and therefore also Me Myself, Who is the eternal Truth ....

Good Friday ....

B.D. 8964 from April 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The sin I had taken upon My shoulders was an inconceivably heavy burden and could only be redeemed through an equally immense sacrifice of atonement, as the path to the cross and the extremely painful suffering and dying on the cross was for Me. For this had been excruciatingly painful .... You humans are incapable of even remotely imagining that measure of suffering, for I felt abandoned by the strength of God, I .... Who had always been united with the Father .... had to walk the path alone, which seemed to last forever but which I nevertheless took upon Myself in infinite love because I pitied the human race and knew that only this sacrifice of Mine could bring salvation to humanity .... Time and again I had to experience the brutalities of the executioner's servants, and the whole world of hell participated.

Yet I was not allowed to defend Myself by using My indwelling divine strength, for this act of Salvation had to be an act of free will, on account of which I covered this path of suffering as a 'mere human being', always praying that I would be able to complete it, that I would not fail before the end, that I was also permitted to endure the death of the cross, which concluded the act of Salvation in the first place. You will only be able to assess the whole extent of torments and humiliations I had to endure when you enter the kingdom of the beyond, where you will be able to behold My crucifixion. Yet during your human existence you lack all concept of My torments, since a lesser measure would have killed you already, however, My will to redeem you was so strong that it gave Me the strength to taste all suffering to the extreme .... that I also endured the death on the cross consciously and still was able to pray for My tormentors 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do' ....

They did not know that by nailing Me to the cross they nailed the Father Himself to the cross, Who wanted to redeem all people from every sin .... I knew that He had merely withdrawn Himself from Me so as not to exert force on Me as a human being, for only the human being Jesus was able to suffer and this suffering reconciled the Father. For this reason I spoke the Word 'It is finished ....' in order to state that an eternally predetermined act had been accomplished.

However, its results encompassed the past, present and future .... And thus all beings which once had fallen away from God are redeemed .... One day in the beyond you will always be able to witness the crucifixion of Jesus, the human being, but no person will ever be able to assess the appalling torments as long as he still lives on earth .... for he will lack the understanding. His immense suffering, the immense suffering of the man Jesus, not only involved the physical pain inflicted on Him, instead, the suffering of His pure soul, having descended to earth from the kingdom of light for the sake of this act of Salvation, was far greater .... Only a soul which already dwells in the kingdom of light is able to comprehend what it means for a pure soul to be in the slough of sin .... what it means for a perfect soul to stay in the midst of imperfect creatures .... but then it is also able to understand the depth of love which motivated Jesus to provide help for His sinful brothers, and then they will tremble with awe and give thanks and sing their praises to the One Who has redeemed the world from all sin ....

Amen

Easter Sunday ....

B.D. 8965 from April 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The man Jesus has offered a work of deepest love and mercy for you because He wanted to redeem the exceedingly great sin guilt, which otherwise would have kept the kingdom of light closed to you for ever, but you must also accept this work of redemption in full awareness that you had loaded a great guilt on yourselves and you now want to become free of it. Because what the man Jesus suffered for you, until He ended His work of mercy with death on the cross, is not to be described, because they were greatest agonies, which His infinite love took upon itself, because He wanted to help His unhappy brothers in their spiritual trouble. But you will never find understanding for these agonies, because they were immeasurable, but the love in Him gave Him power to bear them, because He could only expiate the guilt with such a sacrifice, because His soul and His body had to suffer in a measure, which would have been unbearable for every other man. That is why also the suffering of a man can never be quoted for comparison, because only the body of man will always be affected by the suffering, but for Jesus the suffering, which His soul has endured, was far worse, and it is also not to be described approximately, because He suffered as it were for the former sin of the rejection of the love power; He had to take upon Himself the agonies of a powerless soul, because this was the former sin, which had an effect in form of immense weakness, under which the soul suffered indescribably .... But His love was so great that He took everything upon Himself to make atonement to God for all who accept the work of redemption, who make use of the favours acquired on the cross and want to return home to the father from Whom they once voluntarily separated. The whole earthly way of life of the man Jesus was a (torment) for Him, because He saw in moments of bright seeing how He had to end it .... He foresaw all suffering and horrors and yet could not shake them off, for He was of the will to walk this path because He also recognized the final aim: the redemption of the fallen brothers from an immeasurable guilt, and the magnitude of this guilt also gave Him the willpower to walk the path until the end .... But the last day of His earthly life was so bitter that He almost lost strength and therefore prayed: "Father, let this cup pass from Me, yet not My will but Yours be done!" .... And again and again the love for the unfortunate brothers was stronger, and by virtue of this love, which filled Him, He surrendered to His fate, which He certainly could have also turned away from Himself and therefore He only prayed more and more intimately that He might not fail. Yet the suffering He had to endure even before the crucifixion was immeasurable, the suffering He was only able to endure because love was so powerful in Him and He only used this love to persevere until the end. For He had to suffer as a 'human being', even though love itself was in Him, but it held back with its power until He pronounced the words: "It is finished ...." And again and again His crucifixion has to be brought before people's eyes in order to let them recognize the great love of the man Jesus, for only a work of love could redeem the past guilt of sin, because it consisted of the beings transgressing against love .... For this reason a soul of light descended to earth, because only such a soul could

muster the degree of love and because God Himself could manifest Himself in this soul of love, Who was in it in all fullness, and therefore love Itself made this sacrifice .... But it was the work of a man, Who was able to suffer, because God could not suffer. For this reason His sacrifice on the cross was of unusual significance, and it must also be acknowledged in free will, for the man Jesus certainly offered the sacrifice for all people of the past, the present and the future, yet only the human being himself determines whether it signifies redemption for him from the former great guilt .... And so his attitude towards Jesus Christ is the most important thing, because his happiness depends on it, how he stands by Him and His work of redemption. And you humans cannot be urged enough not to reject Him but to profess Him and His act of salvation if you want to be released from your original sin and be able to enter the kingdom of light after the death of your body ....

Amen

Resurrection of Jesus ....

B.D. 8966 from April 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My resurrection is certainly doubted by people who do not believe in Jesus and His mission on earth, and they can also no longer be given any evidence that it really happened as My disciples reported. People who had experienced so many miracles from Me had become wavering in their faith in Me and My might .... there was no-one who still fully trusted in Me, everyone saw that I did nothing against the mob which wanted to take Me captive, and their hearts were overcome by fear that people would carry it out, that I did not defend Myself and let everything happen to Me .... that I no longer used My power until the end to restrain the henchmen from their plan. And that is why also no-one believed in My resurrection on the third day, and when men now learned about it, the thought was more understandable to them that one had fetched Me out of the grave to now let the legend come into being that I had risen from the dead. And even with My disciples I met with unbelief, because they did not know about the great importance of the work of redemption, and therefore they also did not know that everything had to come so as it happened. For those who did not believe in Me, that I descended from above as the son of God, I could not appear to them either, after all, this would have been a compulsion of faith which I could never apply. For everyone who experienced My death on the cross had to voluntarily confess Me and the act of salvation, otherwise he could not be granted forgiveness of original sin. But it was enough with My disciples that I showed them My stigmata, and they recognized Me and remembered My words: "I will rebuild the temple in three days ...." But now this problem has become even more controversial, because no man had witnessed this My work of redemption, all must believe it, what is reported to them, and an even stronger belief is demanded of men of the present time, that I have risen from the dead .... that My body had spiritualized itself and only became visible to mine because they were to be strengthened in their intention to carry out My teaching of love and to make very special mention of My work of redemption. And all who were introduced through My spirit into deeper knowledge will also believe in this spiritualization of the body .... For these will also muster the understanding for the work of redemption which I accomplished in the man Jesus .... For they have been introduced to this knowledge through the spirit itself, and no-one can rob them of their faith, both in the work of redemption as well as in My resurrection. They will also know how to meet every objection that such is impossible, because they know it that the final aim of men on earth is to likewise spiritualize themselves, and the same can also happen with their body, for which the man Jesus has supplied you with proof. But who only thinks purely earthly, for him also proofs would not be enough, but which are no longer to be provided. And more and more the faith in Jesus Christ and His work of mercy will dwindle in men because the adversary, who always only sees his enemy in Jesus, Who wants to wrest the souls from him and this He will succeed in. But I will also again and again see to it that the right knowledge about the sacrifice on the cross and its reason is supplied to you men; I will always awaken men who stand up for Jesus Christ in deepest conviction, who always only listen to what the spirit imparts to them out of Me, and who therefore also have a firm faith in My resurrection, which can be shaken through nothing. And again and again I will convey knowledge through My spirit to those who are willing to believe, because I can give them nothing else but truth ....

Amen

Knowledge of the process of the working of the mind ....

B.D. 8967 from April 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

What you need to know for your earth life, that is truly offered to you by Me, if you open your hearts to Me and want to be active for Me and My kingdom. Therefore the thought need not depress you that you are not introduced into areas, which are trivial for the last work on earth on the souls, since it is much more important at present that they first of all reach a living faith, that they know about the reason and meaning of the work of redemption, that they experience about the power of love, about its effect .... because their lot in eternity depends on it .... And that is why I now impart this knowledge to men, although I also reveal secrets of creation, but these only make up a small extent of My revelations, exactly because they are not so important now. But I particularly emphasize the act of creation of all beings once emanated by Me, because errors have crept in there which are extremely important and have to be corrected .... But the task, which I set to My vineyard workers, is the spreading of all that, what still can bring salvation to men exactly in the times of the end. They are to know that one has sacrificed Himself for them, and therefore they must know about their original sin and that this cannot be redeemed by them alone. Therefore they have to turn to the one Who brought them salvation, but Who also has to be acknowledged so that the work of rescue can also take place in him. And you can also give them informative explanations about all these connections, who you receive My word. You can prepare them for the end, which I announce through you as obvious; but you can also tell them that they can only shape the end to a successful one for themselves through love work, that they do not need to fear it when they fulfil these My commandments and change their selfish love to unselfish neighbourly love. But you can also pass on to them the knowledge about the survival of the soul, which indeed only few will accept, but which every one of My servants can represent with conviction, because the knowledge about it has reached him from Me. And so you can therefore point to the work of My spirit. And that will be the most difficult thing for you because hardly any man of those believes in it who have not yet awakened the spirit themselves and exactly the work of the spirit is unbelievable to them. But even men who read the scriptures have no understanding for it, otherwise it would truly be easy to guide men into truth, because would the process of the working of My spirit be understandable to them, then they would accept without further ado what you bring to them and move in true thinking. And every person has to find faith in this himself, which only love can achieve again. That is why the most urgent thing is to stimulate men to a love life, to make clear to them the effect of it and also the consequences of a life without love, which will certainly earn them death. Even the leaders have no understanding for what My words mean, which I Myself spoke when I walked on earth; they walk along blindly and 'preach', they bring salvation to people or believe to bring it to them and yet pass by the most delectable, My word spoken directly from above, which would give them enlightenment in all unresolved issues. But they feel called and are still blind guides, who can give no light to anyone. That is why also the number of those will be very small, whom you still can win for Me and My word, to whom you can impart pure truth and who therefore also do not need to fear the end. But men also do not believe in this and still put this into the farthest distance, and they will be surprised and not have prepared themselves, but they do not pay attention to My announcements, and therefore they will have to expect an end with horror; they will again be banished in the creations of the new earth, if I do not have mercy on them first and call them away from this earth prematurely, then the possibility is still given to them to still find to the light and to Jesus Christ, who has redeemed men from sin and death ....

Explaining why people's thinking is so different ....

B.D. 8968 from April 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you men often still move in erroneous thoughts will also again and again cause Me to direct your thoughts right, provided that you carry desire for pure truth. My adversary knew how to plant his thought material in you, and he was not prevented from it because it was indifferent to you yourselves whether truth or error was presented to you. But the consequences of error are exceedingly severe and earn you darkening of spirit, while truth brightly illuminates your way, which you are to go to perfect yourselves. There are often questions, which concern the survival of the soul, which the opponent answers wrongly for you, because he only has the one will to prevent you that you live out life purposefully. That is why he will always make a survival after death out to be unbelievable and encourage men to strive for the world with its goods. Because man then always focuses on worldly well-being and therefore contributes to greatest spiritual darkness, because he always only seeks to put himself into the possession of earthly goods, but does nothing for his soul. And his lot will be bad in eternity because he goes over with the desire for such goods and will find little help there because it is not accepted when it is offered to him. But the human being would have to tell himself, with only a little thought, that he not only has an earthly task for earthly life but that there is more at stake .... that the human being has to fulfil a spiritual purpose, and he would have to seek to fathom this spiritual purpose .... Yet he is content with what My adversary whispers to him, who wants to prevent the unification between Me and My living creation. For people never strive for something where the aim is uncertain and unbelievable to them .... On the other hand they are always willing to accept his thought material and therefore to advance the world with all its goods, and then he has already won it for himself .... This fight for the will of man can therefore only be waged through thought transmission out of the dark world, since otherwise every power is taken from the opponent, but man .... if he only lets his intellect rule, does not defend himself against it .... what he well could, would he be aware of it, how he can direct his intellect, but does not have to .... For he can submit it to My will at any time, then he will be protected from thinking wrongly, and his thinking will be right. Therefore submit yourselves at any time to My will, that I Myself can now protect you and am also prepared for it, because I do nothing rather than light a bright light for a man, which brightly illuminates his way. But I cannot do it against his will, because only this will must surrender to Me without hesitation, otherwise no light can shine for him. And the more intimately the will surrenders to Me the clearer thoughts it will have, which then always correspond to truth, and no error can happen to it. And therefore the whole explanation is given to you why the thinking of men is so different, why many men feel well in error and why so few men have true thoughts, because alone the will determines this, which can turn towards Me or My opponent, but which will always result in positive or negative thoughts .... And if you therefore want to know whether your thoughts are now directed right or wrong, then you must seriously criticise yourselves, to whom you turn your thoughts .... But in order to be able to turn your thoughts towards Me you absolutely have to believe in a God Who called you into life and therefore entrust yourselves to this God .... Where this faith is missing, there the opponent already has predominance, and that is why towards the end, which you are approaching, the work of the opponent will appear very strongly, and faith will no longer be found in a higher being, out of which all being, all creations and also you yourselves have emerged. And error will take on the sharpest form until the opponent's power is now taken away again and he is banished for a long time .... with all those who have given themselves into his power because they stayed in darkness and did not free themselves from it ....

Amen

Is the will first or grace ....

B.D. 8969 from April 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Let yourselves be satisfied with My favour, because I give it to you abundantly, because you can only become happy through favour. And I want that you are always aware of it, which gift of favour earth life is for you, but which only brings you on the right way when you also evaluate it as such, because likewise you can let it pass you by unused, and you stand there where you stood at the beginning of your embodiment; it has been an idle run for you. And highest and most valuable of My gifts of favour is My word, which you are able to hear at any time when you desire to hear it. But deep in the heart you must desire it, then your spiritual ear is opened, and you hear Me, and you will be happy, because you then enter the original state; your way is no longer far to perfection, where My word sounded to you and you were immeasurably happy. That is why you must always let your will become active, so that you also accept the favours, which are offered to you .... Therefore the will is the first, and whether the favours also go to you unmeasured .... if the will is not prepared to accept and evaluate them, then you draw no benefit from it, and your state does not change; you remain imperfect, as you were at the beginning of your embodiment. Therefore it is wrong to say that I hand out the favours according to My discretion, because the same measure of favours is at your disposal, otherwise I Myself would determine the perfection of My creatures .... This thought is so wrong that I Myself have 'chosen you to become blessed or to be damned' .... when this is determined solely by your free will. Enough information has already been given to you about the freedom of will, so that you can refute every such objection. And yet it is held by those who, on the basis of misunderstood scriptural passages, make such assertions as, "It is God Who works in you the willing and the doing .... according to His good pleasure." This scripture, too, is completely misinterpreted if you thereby believe that I accomplish everything according to My will .... I work well in you because you could do nothing without receiving the power from Me. It was also I Who endowed you with free will, but you must bring this will to fruition yourselves, and I therefore provide you with a measure of grace, which also earns you perfection with certainty if you use it, but for which the will must always first be ready. And that is why you carry a great responsibility, and both the light beings as well as the powers of darkness fight for your will, the one to turn the will towards Me and to make it completely inclined towards good, while the endeavour of the dark powers is to give your will a wrong direction, therefore away from Me, and so prevent you to strive for perfection. But nevertheless you will be able to receive an abundance of grace at any time, because this can cause your will that you use it right, and it always only depends on whether you recognize Me as the source of grace .... then your will will also be ready .... And if therefore My word is offered to you, which is conducted to earth in an unusual way, then every man could recognize it as an unusual favour, because also the intellect only needed to ask itself how it comes about, and it would have to make man think .... But if he still rejects it, then his will is directed against it, and this will is decisive .... Then he does not pass the test of will, and accordingly is also his lot in eternity, if he does not still change there and slowly comes to knowledge ....

Amen

Achievement of the childship to God of light beings? ....

B.D. 8970 from April 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you are moved by such questions, which trouble you, then come to Me, and I will answer them for you. For you as bearers of light should be informed about which beings can start the return to earth for the purpose of a mission, they are always beings of light, i.e. those who have covered the path on earth but did not reach the adoption as children of God, who nevertheless have increased the measure of light more and more and who now offer themselves for a mission for the purpose of achieving the adoption as children of God .... and non-fallen original spirits, which likewise strive for the adoption as children of God as last aim and therefore walk the course over earth. The latter also reach their aim with certainty because love is so strong in them, and they are also protected from apostasy, although the opponent will try everything to also bring these, who once did not follow him, to apostasy from Me. But their resistance is too great, and the bond with Me upholds each one of these original spirits .... But not always do those reach their aim .... the adoption as children of God .... who therefore have already had earthly life behind them .... once. But there are only a few of them who do not fulfil their mission in this way, because they are also again in possession of free will, which also allows a decline .... So then it is possible that such a being is temporarily confused in thinking and that it now leaves earth again in this state and then also directs its confused thoughts from the hereafter to those with whom it counts on understanding. But this state does not last long until it can again be enlightened by light and now also recognizes that it has failed, and again desires anew to descend to earth. The being can no longer fall back to the deep, only it can use its free will wrongly, what therefore will be the case when it as member of another religion should bring to men the knowledge about Jesus Christ as the divine redeemer, when an unusual power was (is) at its disposal and it therefore thinks to be on the same level as Jesus Christ through the fullness of this power and this therefore also means the failure of its mission. But his striving for highest perfection will be credited to him, but the now following instructions from the hereafter will be erroneous until it again reaches the light, which also brings back full knowledge to him .... The struggle of those men (beings) to reach their perfection still on earth can also only be successful because they are no longer burdened with original sin and exactly for that reason however would also have the possibility to represent the divine redeemer and to also present him to those of different faith as the only salvation, so that they then would also have fulfilled their mission completely .... But exactly for that reason I will also send such spirits of light there to earth, who as not fallen original spirits, despite free will, proclaim Me Myself as redeemer of the world, and the few who accept faith in it will also become free from their original sin, and whether they stand equally far below those 'wise men', but who, despite their high wisdom and striving for perfection, fail to recognize one thing, that they may not see in Jesus one of their own but that He is everything in everything, that He was only the shell for the highest being in which this highest being wanted to be visible to you, and that they all ....... in spite of their wisdom, do not recognize this and therefore do not stand up for it. A being which descends to earth as a non-fallen spirit will certainly also attain the childship to God, yet a being of light which has already passed over earth once can no longer fall but nevertheless not reach the final aim either if it does not fulfil the mission it was given. But exactly this task is difficult, to carry the teaching of redemption through Jesus Christ there, where men are bound to a school of faith, which pursues completely different aims, which want to reach perfection systematically and do not seek the prerequisite for it in the divine sun of favour, but whose striving is to bring themselves to perfection, through utmost self-conquest and mortification, but what can be reached quite simply through intimate union with God and recognition of Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world .... Because then he is free of his original sin, and he can no longer sink back to the deep. But those beings of light put their own gained wisdom before 'the working of the spirit', and this is the only way to explain that they therefore fail and cannot stand in full truth until they let themselves be taught by their spirit, which is always the result of an intimate bond with Me, but which those 'masters' believe to be able to replace through their own striving ....

Messages from the heights .... I.

B.D. 8971 from May 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You can always know yourselves supported by Me when love drives you to be active for Me, because love is a power, which does not remain without effect. Then I will always be able to have an effect Myself, because I am love Myself and therefore every work of love is also carried out by Me Myself. Therefore take care of every single one of them that they also find the way to Me. And even if you don't reach it straight away .... what they have received, that will no longer let go of them, and they will think of it, because even if they reject My word, it is nevertheless not spoken in vain, and it will again and again stimulate them to think about it ..... Only love must not be missing, because this also guarantees My presence. And that is why I can only need such announcers who are willing to love and recognize their fellow human beings as being in need of help and want to bring them salvation, because pure truth will only rarely be possessed by a person, and yet they believe that they are in the right thinking .... But the few whom I Myself can instruct and supply them with the truth will not find the right faith even as 'mere men'. People mostly hold on to the knowledge which has come to them from an uninformed side, but they cannot produce any proof that they are in the right way of thinking. But they cannot provide proof that it corresponds to truth. And so the question is always asked in the world: "What is truth?" And to this only one answer can come to you: What is of God Himself, Who is the eternal truth .... Yet they do not want to believe that I Myself impart this truth to people, for they have no knowledge of this process, and human words (human knowledge) therefore mean more to them as soon as they have gained it through diligent study. But that the intellect can err and also has erred, that they do not consider, and so mankind is in spiritual blindness, which only I Myself can remove, by Me bringing pure truth to men, by Me supplying them with knowledge, which far surpasses their intellectual thinking. But this knowledge they must also accept, and then men move in truth .... then their thoughts are right directed. To possess pure truth is a sign of near perfection, and that is why only few will profess it at the time of the end, because only few already have the degree of maturity, which is necessary for it, but which can be reached at any time through the earnest will for truth and the subordination of the will under Mine. Therefore men are also allowed to come to Me in full trust and ask Me for supply of truth, which I then will also supply to them, only they are not allowed to seek truth there, where it is allegedly offered, because the start of truth is to be sought and found only with Me, and I do not make it dependent on the intellectual sharpness of man, but only alone on the degree of love, because this starts from the heart and makes alone the heart able to receive truth. If you therefore believe that you use your intellect correctly, then first think about the fact that I can never assess a person according to his intellectual acuity, but that he must show Me the love which I demand in order to be able to receive the truth from Me. Think about it, that I "want to reject the understanding of the intelligent and bring the wisdom of the wise to nothing, in order to make those happy, who believe in Me in all simplicity ...." Consider also all these words, which should announce to you of the work of My spirit in man, then you will also learn to understand the process, and there will no longer be great spiritual darkness in you. Just this process has remained incomprehensible to you men through the influence of My opponent, and still it would be explanation for everything to you, and you would also accept My revelations from above unhesitatingly. But because you men mostly lack love, which would enlighten you out of the inside, you doubt, or you reject everything and can therefore never come closer to truth. Because the opponent has you in his power, and he will also never let go of you, as long as you yourselves do not defend yourselves, by you desiring Me and intimately unite with Me. That alone can bring you salvation in your trouble, in which you are, because you stand shortly before the end ....

Messages from the heights .... II.

B.D. 8972 from May 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

A vast area has been opened up to you .... an area which you would not be able to penetrate without the working of the spirit within you, for I Myself instruct you and give you knowledge which far surpasses your intellectual thinking. But this is the result of most intimate union with Me, from Whom truth takes its origin .... I want to answer all your questions as soon as you enter into this intimate union with Me, because then you open yourselves again to My illumination of love, and you can hear My word as in the beginning .... But then you have also given Me the proof that you want to belong to Me yourselves; you have passed the test of will, which is purpose and aim of your earth life. And now you will also want to pass on this knowledge supplied to you of your own accord, because it drives you to spread the truth. And again those will listen to you who also want to be connected with Me, and therefore knowledge draws wide circles, but which cannot be offered to you on the part of men, who believe to be able to penetrate intellectually into an area, which only I Myself can open up to you truthfully. What wealth you could gain when you accept My word when you make the knowledge your own and would again acquire the knowledge for yourselves, which you once possessed and had voluntarily given away. Then you would also want to return the love to Me, with which I pursue you incessantly, because I do not want to lose you. And then your existence on earth would be concluded, and you could enter the kingdom of light and happiness as My children, with whom I could create and work always and forever. But you do not believe that such messages from above can come from God Himself, because you still think of this God as being so far away from you that you cannot recognize the father in Him, who addresses His children in all love .... And you are also still far from Him and cannot hear His voice because you are still inferior to him who wants to keep you in thick darkness to not lose you. And still these messages should also touch you unusually that you should not let them pass you by unchecked, and you will also recognize a gleam of light when you are of good will .... For My word has this power to have an effect where My adversary is not yet entirely his master; then you will feel touched and addressed by Me, then your state will no longer be entirely hopeless. When you yourselves are introduced into My kingdom, about which I alone can give you enlightenment, then you can see from it that it is quite impossible to be able to fathom such an area only with the intellect, and a binding from above to the earthly world would have to be quite obvious to you. And then you will also no longer doubt the truth of the spiritual material offered to you because only one can instruct you about it who controls this area. And when you further know about My endless love, which does everything to win you back again, then you will also understand it that I cannot tolerate to see you going along in error, and therefore work just as obviously against error, in which the enemy of all life entangles you, and that My effort is always to oppose truth to error, so that you find out of darkness to light and that these messages .... received through the spirit .... are the very light which shall brightly illuminate your path, which every person should seriously desire in order to fulfil his purpose of earthly life .... You should not pass it by, for it is the greatest gift of grace which can be bestowed upon you .... You hear Me Myself, and what comes from Me will certainly also bring you to perfection ....

Amen

Faith and love lead to unification with God ....

B.D. 8973 from May 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you bear My infinite love in mind, which took the most bitter suffering and dying for your sins upon itself in order to open the gate into the kingdom of light for you again, then this act of atonement alone should already induce you to respond to My love with as much depth you are capable of feeling .... Yet precisely this is what you are lacking, you are no longer able to muster such love because My adversary still keeps you in chains and will do whatever he can to prevent your kind-hearted actions. It is not as if you were entirely incapable, because you shelter a tiny spark of My love in you which you need only nurture to grow into a bright flame. Yet this requires your will again, which is free and therefore not compelled by Me nor My adversary. And this free will can do anything .... It is able to establish the most heartfelt bond with Me but it can also completely submit to My adversary .... However, even the slightest will for Me is already enough for Me to grant you strength and constantly prove My infinite love to you .... If you therefore call upon Me Myself in Jesus for help against him, your resolve will be strengthened and you will have escaped My adversary, you will strive towards the light, live your life purposefully and indeed reach the final goal, unity with Me.

But what should you do first so as not to live your life in vain?

First, you must believe in a Power Which created you .... If you acknowledge this Power it will be easy for you to establish mental contact with Me, for your belief in Me is already evidence that you want to detach yourselves from your present lord, for he will try to shake any belief you have .... But since you turn to Me of your own accord I will help you take the right path which leads to Me. First of all, I will inform you of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I became a human being, and explain the significance He has for you .... And as soon as you know that you can always turn to Him, that He and I are as One, you will always hand your guilt, which was the cause of your human existence on earth, over to Him .... From then on you will be able to feel the great love I expect of you, which is needed to enter into union with Me.

Thus you can all attain faith in a Being Which is exceedingly powerful, wise and loving .... And when you recognise that this Being is exceedingly perfect you will also be able to love It .... In that case you will also know that you should strive towards this Being, that you are still distant from It as a result of your past sin of apostasy, that He wants to win you back again and seeks to attract your love which alone can revoke the original sin when it has been handed over to Jesus Christ, Who has redeemed the guilt of sin on the cross ....

Only love can lead you back to Me again, only love is needed to enable you to enter the kingdom of light again, only love returns to you all abilities which you once possessed in abundance and relinquished! Love alone is the bond between Me and you, for it is your fundamental element, just as I Myself Am love .... Consequently, if you believe in Me, then the spark in you, which brings this faith into being, has already come alive and it will flare up ever more frequently and finally lead to unity .... Therefore, believe that I exist, that I have created you as well as everything you see around you, and you won't be able to help yourselves but to make mental contact with Me and thereby receive strength, you will become knowledgeable. That is, the right thoughts will flow into you so that you will know the truth, for the result of transferring My strength of love is that you may also have an insight into previously closed spheres .... However, it always depends on your degree of love ....

Therefore, let love become active in you, for love is everything; it gives you clarity of thought as well as the strength to implement what benefits your soul. It will take you to Jesus Christ, and once you have recognised Me in Jesus Christ you will assuredly also take the path towards perfection, you will return into your Father's house from which you once voluntarily distanced yourselves ....

Amen

Faith and love leads to union with God .... (the knowledge of the process of the outpouring of the spirit .... )

B.D. 8974 from May 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you are guided by Me, you should obviously recognize when you see the many threads, which I tie on, as not starting from yourselves, because I know the hearts, which you still are to address and truly leave none out. But I need you as mediators, because I Myself can address men in the rarest cases, especially then, when the process of the work of My spirit is still unknown to them, that they do not take the way to Me, to now also be able to be addressed by Me directly. If people knew about this process then it would be easier to convey the truth to them, but precisely because of this My adversary has extinguished all light, he has spread darkness about the 'outpouring of My spirit' which is increasingly more difficult to break through the closer it gets to the end. And yet, I can still work on individuals who ignited love in themselves and thus awakened their spirit of their own accord and to whom I can therefore impart the truth via you. And I will still let you find the connection with such who earnestly desire truth, and you always just need to serve Me in loyalty and conscientiousness, and every connection will again have an effect, because who once possesses truth, he will also testify to it, because that is the power of My word, that it urges to untiring work for Me and My kingdom, and I want to bless every servant's work, he still does it for Me. I alone know to whom you are still to bring truth; I alone know the hearts, which are open for it, and truly, I will withhold truth from no-one, who earnestly desires it. And you, who receive My word directly, you are to only let yourselves be guided by your feeling, which stimulates you inwardly, to offer exactly that to your fellowmen, what is valuable for them, about which they ask themselves questions, which I answer for them through you. You should only ever ask Me to guide your thoughts correctly and then, believing in My support, comply with your inner urge, for this is My voice which you therefore must not ignore .... My blessing will always rest on your work for Me and My kingdom, because nothing equals it in importance. It is a matter of carrying pure truth out into the world, which I alone can turn to you and which nevertheless should be examined by all men for its outcome .... but which only reaches the ear of few, who desire nothing else than to stand in pure truth, and which I therefore lead you into the way and let them find access to you, so that I Myself can speak to them and also know that I am heard ....

Amen

The act of creation was an act of gratification for God ....

B.D. 8975 from May 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The cause for My rule and work in the whole of infinity was given by My incessant will to form, My unchangeably strong power as well as My exceedingly great love, which had to be active, but which only then found a kind of fulfilment when it created beings for itself, which were able to receive this love and give it back. Because My love needed a vessel, which opened itself to it and received My love and then again radiated it back to Me, whereby an unimaginable act of happiness took place, which will never be comprehensible to any of the created beings. After endless long time of being alone the desire for a mutual exchange became stronger and stronger, although I could already enjoy the spiritual creations put forth by Me in excess before, because I saw every thought as an accomplished work by virtue of My will and these of My thoughts have been innumerable, so that I could create incessantly and still felt no decrease of the power of creation, on the contrary, this constantly increased the more I used it .... But when then the thought moved Me to create a vessel for Me for the love power, which therefore should be formed like Me, which I wanted to endow with all qualities, which therefore should be put out as My image with the same creator power and strength, then already the thought of it was enough that this work of My will stood before Me in all glory, so that I recognized Myself in it and enjoyed what I had created .... The communion with this being made Me abundantly happy, it was after all an image of Me, but who could not be visible to this being, because it would have passed away in view of the original fire, which was certainly also the original substance of that spirit, which however .... as created .... could not have endured the abundance of My love, might and strength. For that being was always only an emanated spark which, although immeasurably blissful, was always only a creature of Mine. was only ever a creature of Mine which was unable to behold the eternal light. Nevertheless, this creature was the vessel for Me into which I could let My strength of love flow, which used this strength of love again in order to likewise be creatively active .... and since its desire was the same .... it again let the same beings come into being together with Me and the bliss was immeasurably great which the act of creation meant for us .... Always new beings came forth out of our two wills of love, for space was unlimited, there was no limit, neither of the creative power nor of love, nor of our will, which was equally directed .... for I revealed My will to him as well as to the beings which had emerged from both of us through the word, which gave them the evidence that they all recognized (had) their origin in Me; they could constantly hear Me and also return the answer to Me .... they could ask Me questions which I answered them through My word, and since I had also given them the ability to think at the same time, which they could apply in free will .... the sign of a divine being .... thus they were not compelled to interpret the word in only one particular direction but they were able to move My word within themselves in all directions, and thereby the possibility was given that they could also interpret it wrongly, according to their will .... But in the beginning all beings did not contradict My will, they were unlimitedly happy, they understood My word correctly, and this state would not have needed to come to an end if the first being emanated from Me had not been unable to come to terms with one thought: that it was unable to behold Me .... and it had given itself the explanation that I therefore lacked the power to do so .... Although it recognized itself as created by Me, it knew that it had a beginning, while I was from eternity .... But it began to doubt and did not present these doubts to Me so that I could have corrected them .... And it believed to be able to hide its thoughts from Me, because they were not always in it but only appeared in it from time to time, but it again and again gave itself to My love and also received it undivided .... But since it once doubted My love flowing towards it undividedly and did not express itself, the doubt returned again and again, and thus it created the state of mistrust, which should not have been between the created being and Me for ever .... But in this first created original spirit the distrust became stronger and stronger, especially as he now regarded himself as creator of the innumerable beings, which could see him in all glory, but to whom I could not be visible. And since the ability to think was just as peculiar to him, he drew wrong conclusions in his mistrust .... yet he recognized Me as his origin, but he hoped to also be able to convince all other created beings that he was their creator, since they were unable to behold Me .... He therefore exalted himself above Me and now rejected My strength of love, believing himself to possess so much strength that he no longer needed My strength and this was his sin as well as the sin of all fallen beings who followed him ....

(5/16/1965) A second world was now created, as it were, a world in which everything was wrongly directed but which was now also ruled by My now adversary. But since everything created had its origin in Me, also this world was subject to My will and My power, and all positive powers fight against the negative ones, always with the aim to win back everything negative again .... For although I had endowed the first-created spirit with the same creative power and strength, it had nevertheless lost it through its apostasy from Me .... But to him himself I left his freedom, while I took all fallen into My care and therefore took it from him and formed it to creations of all kind. Because I took pity on its state, which was unhappy and would have had to remain unhappy for ever when My love did not find a way out to once again lead it back to Me. But the process of the return is of such endless duration that one can speak of eternities .... during which My adversary can always only temporarily assert his right to the spiritual belonging to him .... when it goes over earth in the stage as man .... But then he does everything to get the being back into his possession .... if it does not let itself be helped otherwise .... if it does not accept the redemption through Jesus Christ and becomes free from his power .... His power is mighty at this time, and it requires a strong will to break away from it, but also My grace is unmeasured and can always be held against his power .... so that it is well possible to surrender to Me voluntarily, and then his wretched state will be over .... But eternal times will still pass until the former apostasy from Me has finally been atoned for, and eternal times will still pass until he will also decide to return, who once emerged from Me as greatest spirit of light, until he returns to his father's house, because endless is the flock of fallen spirits, and these also still need endless times until they have freed themselves from the chains, which were put on them from his side, to be able to enter the kingdom of light and happiness as redeemed .... Yet My love is endless, My power knows no bounds, and My wisdom is unceasingly intent on achieving the aim I set Myself when I created the spirit world ....

Amen

Why must a non-fallen spirit also walk the earth ....

B.D. 8976 from May 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

What you desire information about, that I alone can tell you, because these thoughts have already often emerged in you, without you seriously desiring an answer. You do not know the laws, which rule in My kingdom and in which all My creatures move, but that one thing has been explained to you, that I put out beings out of Me in highest perfection, that these beings were gifted with free will, which was now also to decide and which also resulted in the falling away of innumerable beings from Me. But a great part of these beings had also passed the test of will that they remained with Me although all were equipped with free will and the ability to think and likewise could decide for him who was visible to them. Hence it is by no means the case that those who fell away from Me lacked realization but the same light of love shone through all beings, and in this light they also recognized Me as their creator, from Whom they had originated, but this very light of love they rejected and thereby made themselves sinful .... Now all My created beings were certainly 'works of My will' as therefore also those who remained loyal to Me, who, standing in highest fullness of light, can create and form with Me and are therefore blessed .... They have certainly passed the test of will but nevertheless remain 'works of My love', for whom the attainment of childship to God is also the highest aim, for I could not 'create' 'children' for Myself but only ever give a being the opportunity to shape itself into a child, which indeed every non-fallen being will also achieve but must also cover the course across earth in order to reach that highest degree that it is no longer considered My work but My child. For a 'work' admittedly also stands in the same will with Me and constantly creates and works out of this will .... But to be a 'child' of God is the epitome of highest beatitude, for it is completely independent of Me, it receives My direct illumination of love and its will is always equally directed with Mine, it is a completely free being, a right child which enters into all rights of the father, whereas a 'work' always remains a work despite having passed the test of will. But the path through the abyss has already been travelled by an infinitely large number of beings, and the number of My children is constantly increasing, since they can never fail, even if earthly life weighs exceedingly heavily upon them .... The love power, which they never lose, protects them from a fall, and since the earth life time is only like a moment, measured by eternity, also the most difficult conditions can be imposed on such a light spirit, and you can also accept such an embodiment with quite unusual states of suffering, which certainly leads to the aim of the adoption as children of God. The beings of light therefore have to cover the path across earth in order to fight against all resistance in their physical weakness, they once have to voluntarily face My adversary, but they will never succumb to him, they will only ever wrest their physical shell from him, so that this, as 'spiritualized', can already help a once fallen spirit to mature. And it is precisely this walk on earth which earns a myriad of beings of light the adoption as children of God, but it cannot be avoided if 'children' are to emerge from My works, which I Myself could not create because free will was the prerequisite for it. This free will had certainly been tested, but the beings all stood in brightest light of knowledge, and it therefore could not be equated with the walk across earth, on which the adversary asserts himself, in which the spirit of light is exposed to temptations upon temptations, which it must pass, to now be able to come forth as a right 'child of God', which was and is My aim since the beginning ....

Bliss .... light kingdom ....

B.D. 8977 from May 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All of you are My creatures, emerged from My love, and this love does not decrease; it is and remains in the same strength and will always take care of you, also when you have separated yourselves from Me will-wise. Love is My original substance, and therefore everything created is radiated through by Me Myself and therefore can also not become less. But what does love want at all? Nothing else than to give itself away and to fill what again wants to receive love .... Everything has been called into life by love; love power is every work of creation, and therefore also everything is imperishable what has Me Myself as origin .... But what do you imagine as 'love'? It is and always remains the desire for unity, only it can also be a wrongly directed love to which this desire of yours applies .... But the desire for it is in you to possess what you love .... If you now have emerged out of a love pure beyond all measure, then also My desire for you is according to this love. I just want to make you happy, create happy states for you, therefore give back to you everything what you had given away voluntarily. It wants to put you again into the state, which, since you are products of this love power, was a state of highest bliss. And when you now lack every possibility of comparison in the state of imperfection, then you also cannot imagine what this happiness consists of. You will always be considered according to the degree of love in which you stand yourselves, and with increasing love you will also be allowed to feel always greater happiness. These blisses consist of (in) innumerable spiritual experiences, in a kind of creative activity, in seeing spiritual creations, in constant desire and constant fulfilment, in hearing My word .... All this triggers a bliss for which you humans lack any concept .... For My infinitely profound love always wants to make you happy, to give you something that you once possessed ....

(19.5.1965) But the highest happiness will always be for you the passing on of My flow of love power, because there will always be lightless places, which you are to cover with light .... And to pass on My love power means to supply truth to those, which you possess in all fullness, which is also supplied to you unlimitedly and in it consists your happiness, which is still completely incomprehensible to you, because to pass on light into darkness is to a degree happy, because it constantly increases and is no longer given by such a being. The soul will always want to help, and it will always also find souls in need of help, and this help is happy for it and will still never be carried out for the sake of its own happiness, but always only love drives the soul to this help, but love is in every soul of such strength that it alone already prepares happiness, which is immeasurable .... So bliss is not 'striven for' by any soul, that it could be felt as reward .... For no soul desires it, but the exceeding love drives it incessantly to an activity which is bliss in itself, whether it consists in creating and shaping or in dispensing the truth .... it will always be felt as 'bliss' because it always consists of the beatification of other beings, thus it is no longer possible to speak of its own 'reward'. The spiritual world offers you so many glories, but which originally were your share and which you are now only allowed to take possession of again, which therefore make you immeasurably blissful .... It is therefore the original state in which you were, and you now stand as man in a very defective state, so that an 'eternal happiness' is presented to you as desirable. But you cannot form a picture of what is to be understood by this happiness, yet this much you should know that you no longer want to return to that defective state where you have not yet fully grasped the love which you only ever want to radiate to those beings which need a light. For to be able to make yourselves happy again will be the greatest bliss for you, and you will always have the opportunity to do so when you can be struck by My ray of love yourselves, which you can always pass on to the areas where there is still darkness, and it will then be the task for you which makes you happy yourselves ....

Amen

Again and again God reveals Himself to His children ....

B.D. 8978 from May 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

So open yourselves; let My ray of love fall into your hearts; give ear to Me, and believe it that it is Me Myself who speaks to you. Because I still want to tell you much, because time presses until the end and because you, who are to hear My word, must move in fullest truth, to be able to impart it to the few, who are open-minded for it. For you are to give them obvious evidence of My existence so that they can believe in a being Which Itself takes care of people in their great adversity, which signifies wrong thinking to them .... so that they will also recognize the great love in this being Which wants to help them find their way out of every adversity. Quite obviously I want to make Myself known to men, and still I will force no-one to believe in Me who does not want it, because also My address will be able to be accepted or also rejected according to their will. But it concerns those people who are of good will but who are too weak themselves to establish a bond directly with Me .... it is about those who only need a weak push, who want to believe but who need a little help to be able to believe. They are to be addressed by Me through you, who have made it your business to serve Me as loyal servants in My vineyard. And therefore you must first free them from erroneous teachings; you must seek to cause them to think about it that a God of love always reveals Himself to His children, that He speaks to them and everyone can hear His address. You must be concerned about the salvation of those who are not able to believe that they are persecuted by a being, Which is pure love in Itself, and that this being wants to address them all to help them to find back to Him, from whom they once started. In a world, which is ruled by satan, My counteraction must be quite obvious, therefore I speak Myself to men through you, and who is just prepared to examine these words in the heart, he will also recognize them as My address, and it will make him happy, because it solves all questions, which a man will ask himself, who would like to overcome spiritual blindness .... Man will receive enlightenment where human understanding is not competent, where no enlightenment can be given to him from the human side, and he will believe it, nevertheless no proof can be given to him. And although I still have to send many sorrowful events over men because of those who have no faith, then the ones who are Mine will not let themselves be frightened by it, because they know it, what I still want to achieve with it .... that I also just want to win those who are undecided, and give them a sign that I am .... But if a person listens to you then inform him that you are in direct contact with Me, don't be afraid to speak openly about My working in you but rather accept a disparaging statement than to remain silent, for I will bless every attempt to lead one of them to faith. Only a small push can already bring this about because I also still want to win the few who think about everything and come to no right result, who do not take the way to Me because they are not able to believe in Me. Because I also take care of them when only the will is good that they do not openly act hostile against you. Because then they are still ruled by My opponent who will extinguish all light because they do not defend themselves against him. But then they also can no longer be helped, then they will have to take upon themselves the lot of the new banishment when the end has come ....

Enlightened thinking is also a sign of the "working of the spirit" ....

B.D. 8979 from May 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My word sounds in the whole of infinity, everywhere where I-conscious spiritual is, no matter whether it is people on earth or also light beings in the spiritual kingdom, everywhere where beings open themselves to My illumination of love. I address all of them because this illumination of My love is an act of happiness which people on earth are certainly unable to grasp in its depth but which is extremely blissful for all beings which have already matured. I am in contact with all through the word; to all I supply My word directly or indirectly; to all I supply knowledge; I give them brightest knowledge of My rule and work in the whole of infinity .... so that they learn to love Me ever more and also feel loved by Me, so that they become ever more blissful because the radiance of love no longer ceases .... But if this process of receiving My word is now to take place on earth, then the redemption from original sin, the redemption through Jesus, must irrevocably have preceded it, otherwise it would be impossible for people to hear My word .... as well as the transmission of My word on the part of the beings of light can take place on people's thoughts who certainly also live in love but nevertheless don't believe in the direct working of My spirit and therefore don't listen themselves to the voice which quietly sounds in them .... Only love is necessary that it is ignited, to therefore also be able to be put into clear, truthful thinking on the part of the light beings. And then a person's train of thought will naturally be the same as that of a 'word recipient' .... Yet the human being himself, to whom My word is sounded, is unable to feel the bliss which My word triggers in the world of light, precisely because he still lives on earth, where he cannot be granted such bliss which would render him incapable of further activity on earth. Nevertheless, it is a process of utmost importance when a person shapes himself into a vessel which receives an influx from the spiritual world and also wants to supply his fellow human beings with this influx, who do not themselves have the intimate bond with Me .... as the origin of that strength of love .... in order to also be able to hear My word .... But all those already move in the light who make contact with a transmitter of spiritual messages, and they will always find support on the part of the world of light, because everything which is radiated through by My love holds together, because no being can exclude itself from it anymore, if it has ever been a right messenger of light .... a person who has let My divine flow of love flow into him .... For this one is already in contact with the spiritual kingdom, and he only still carries out the mission on earth, which he himself had taken over as light spirit .... You therefore see that the radiating of light to earth is an act, which therefore can only rarely happen, because also only rarely a conscious union with Me is established, while men can often mentally stand in truth, only then will not find the confirmation that they stand in right thinking. Because light shines everywhere where only love is kindled, and therefore also there will be mental agreement. And still My direct word from above will again and again be the standard, by which you will be able to determine the rightness of your thoughts, because since in the last time great confusion is among men, My opponent will also know how to throw you into doubt, and then you are to cite My direct word for comparison, and you will also experience the truth of the effect of a love life, because "who remains in love, he remains in Me and I in him ...." So he cannot think wrongly, because I Myself am with him and in him .... And thus humanity is never left to itself, it is unceasingly looked after by Me and the world of light, it only needed to direct its will right in order to be guided onto the right path with certainty. For My word, which gives them light, will always and forever sound, and there will always be people who can receive it .... the beings of light will only ever take care of the distribution of that which they blissfully unmeasured, and the willing human being will always be receptive to what is conveyed to him by Me directly or through beings of light. For My word is the emanation of My strength of love, it is 'I Myself' in all fullness, it is the nourishment of the soul, My flesh and My blood, which I bestow upon all those who want to be united with Me and find their highest beatitude through the supply of that which none other than I Myself can offer them ....

You have been told several times already that you can only attain childship to God if you surrender to Me with love and also humbly bear the sorrow which you have to experience in order to purge the soul from all impurities, so that, on entering the kingdom of the beyond, you can be completely permeated by My light of love, for every ailment, every suffering the human soul still has to endure on earth dissolves the layers, and then the full light ray of My love can touch the soul, because it has relinquished all resistance ....

Therefore, don't be discouraged by a difficult earthly life but believe that it will be a blessing for you which fully offsets all suffering, and be patient, for the reward will be greater than great and the time of the human being's suffering on earth is but short compared to the glorious fate awaiting the soul throughout all eternity. This is why you should gladly accept a life of suffering; you should know that such an earthly life is imposed on you by My immense love so that you soon will be able to reach the goal set by Me since eternity. For what follows your earthly life cannot be explained to you, it is the most magnificent fate which is only destined for My 'children', who will be invested into all the rights of the Father, able to work like Him .... without difference, because they have attained the highest goal.

Yet even for these very children I Am unfathomable, that is, they incessantly strive towards Me .... they long for Me and their longing will always be fulfilled .... And the essence of their bliss rests in the fact that they will never cease yearning for Me, that they thus can never be entirely satisfied because I Am and remain eternally unfathomable. For this reason you have to take the most difficult conditions in earthly life upon yourselves, you will be tested time and again, and you have to remain steadfast even in utmost suffering and always know that only your great love for Me and your neighbour can alleviate your suffering, but that you are incapable of such love which could entirely eliminate suffering .... and thus you should be grateful that you are allowed to bear sorrow as it only serves to perfect you. I did not say to you without reason 'Take up your cross and follow Me ....' For I knew that only a path of utmost suffering will result in your childship to God, because as human beings you are incapable of the love that also leads to childship of God, and also because earthly life is too short unless you accept suffering at the same time.

Therefore, do not ask why I let a human being suffer .... Rather, think of the benefit of suffering, bear in mind that it dissolves all layers which prevent the soul from receiving the full illumination of love .... and that it is always just a temporary state which is then replaced by eternal happiness, for which you would have accepted even more suffering if only your physical strength would allow for it. Thus you who have to suffer so much should remember that it is the longing for 'children' which motivates Me to put you into this state .... and that you yourselves will be grateful to Me one day for all the adversity you had to endure in earthly life.

Yet this always presumes firm faith in Me, faith in life after death and faith in My infinite love, then you regard every happening as a return of the once fallen spirit to Me .... with the goal of childship to God, which I cannot achieve in any other way but by means of the path across earth. And if you have this faith then you will also patiently endure every suffering, you will only ever see one purpose in it and accept everything that you, as a human being, cannot change anyway, but you will humbly bear it as imposed on you by My wisdom and love in order to guide you to the highest goal.

But only few will reach this goal, yet they can nevertheless be happy if they don't (even those people can be happy who don't) enter the kingdom of the beyond entirely without light, for they will still be able to enhance their degree of light there. They will also be able to rise ever higher and experience infinite beatitude but they will no longer be able to achieve the 'childship to God' which necessitates a life on earth .... Nevertheless, they will be able to repeat this life in order to fulfil a mission, and even then they will not be spared all kinds of suffering in order to achieve utmost maturity .... in order to enter the spiritual realm as the Father's true child, in order to then be able to eternally create and work at His side, in accordance with His will and yet in all freedom, as it was His intention from the start ....

Amen

Questions about the meaning and purpose of life on earth ....

B.D. 8981 from May 24th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

To fathom the meaning and purpose of earth life should always occupy your thoughts until a clear answer would be given to you, which I also send to every man who earnestly desires an answer. But your thoughts are far more turned towards earthly matter; you strive for its possession and are excessively concerned about the well-being of the body, which after all is only the cover of that what is the epitome of your being as man .... the soul, which cannot pass away. But before you do not concern yourselves with such thoughts no information can be given to you, because such an answer also presupposes a question, which is proof for it that man seriously concerns himself with such thoughts. For truly I will answer you when I recognize this question in you, when you want to know what has preceded your existence as man and when you are prepared to draw consequences out of a knowledge, which I now supply to you. You do not know that countless beings of light are waiting for such questions to be sent out into infinity in order to now send you the answer .... you don't know that your spiritual guide constantly tries to induce you to occupy yourselves with spiritual questions, that you once detach yourselves from the world and all earthly things in order to take a look into the spiritual kingdom .... But who still believes in a kingdom, which is outside of earth, which is actually the kingdom, which you can call your true home .... who believes it that you only stay temporarily on earth, that you then enter that kingdom and you enter it in the state, which you create for yourselves? Who believes that the actual meaning and purpose of earth life is the reshaping to love, which man must practice in the midst of the earthly world? You all look at the world as an end in itself and do not consider that it is only the means to reach the actual end. That is why you also value the world too highly, and you only see all those things which serve you for bodily well-being. But if you would see the meaning and purpose of life and then ask yourselves how you do justice to it, you would ask yourselves to what extent you consider your soul, whether you supply it with the right nourishment, which it needs to mature, only then you would have grasped the right meaning, and then you would already be on the right way, which leads to perfection. Only then would you learn to despise matter; you would always only take care that the soul receives what it needs, and put back the body. You would ask spiritual questions, which would be answered for you, and your life would not be idle, then you could receive light and again radiate light on your fellowmen, who like you deal with spiritual thoughts. Just ask yourselves this one question, what is the purpose of your being on earth, and you will receive such an answer from your spiritual guardians that your spiritual questions will no longer come to an end, because it is I Myself, who gives you answer through the messengers of light, as soon as you earnestly desire it. For I only expect this one question from you, but it must be seriously asked by all, even if this only happens mentally .... Because through these questions you open yourselves to all those powers, which are active for Me, which are benevolent towards you and which are always helpful, which want to lead you on the right way and which seek to cause you to go the way of faith and love, which always leads towards Me, Who is love from eternity. But then also your desire for the earthly world will decrease until you finally can completely overcome matter, until your look is only directed upwards, where your true home is .... The material world was only given to you for testing, who overcomes it, he has passed the test and will now be able to safely enter the spiritual kingdom, but who lets himself be ruled by the earthly world, he remains in the power of My adversary, to whom the earthly world belongs. And a long time will still pass for him before he releases him, indeed, he is in danger to finally fall prey to him again and to become again himself what he had long since overcome .... to the hard matter he aspired to on earth as desirable and his lot is again banishment in the creation of the new earth .... (then his lot again is banishment in the creation of the new earth) ....

The extent of the natural disaster before the end ....

B.D. 8982 from May 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You should all prepare yourselves for the end, so that you will at least be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond with a small glimmer of realisation. Only a short time will pass but this fully suffices if you have the good will to achieve your transformation into love. You will have ample opportunity for this as soon as My intervention has taken place .... as soon as you are afflicted by a natural disaster which dwarfs all previous events. You cannot possibly imagine what will happen and yet, you should believe that My voice will resound most powerfully with which I shall speak to you humans just once more before the final end arrives. It will mean a terrible experience for all of you .... only My Own will not be affected as much because their faith is so strong that they entrust themselves to Me completely and therefore will also always receive the help they expect. And then every person will have the opportunity to practise unselfish love in order to still achieve full maturity, for there will be very much hardship and everyone will be able to help, if only with comforting words of encouragement which refer people to a God of love Who only requires a trusting prayer to Him in order to be able to visibly demonstrate His help to them. For whatever you can still give to a person in a spiritual sense will help his soul and save him from the dreadful fate of a new banishment. But you will also be able to help them in an earthly way, for the resolve to help will also place you into a state of being able to help, for where human will is unable to help I still have countless helpers at My disposal who will look after you in remarkable ways. I only require firm faith from you, and you will have this when you realise that everything I predicted is coming to pass and when you therefore hand yourselves over body and soul and only want to work for Me and My kingdom.

And this time should be used well by you, you should constantly practise love which again and again will give you strength, you should only ever think of your souls, because you don't know for how long you will still be allowed to live on earth, since the time left to you can only be limited, especially if you cannot attain the strength of faith which enables you to endure until the end. In that case My mercy will be greater if I call you away from this world ahead of time .... if you can still enter the kingdom of the beyond where it will yet be possible for you to progress but where you will not be at risk of descending into the abyss again in the end .... for I fight for every soul and know its will, and thus I also know where there is still a possibility of salvation, and I will certainly make use of this .... only one thing I cannot do, I cannot forcibly release you from My adversary's hands .... For he has the same right over you because you once followed him of your own free will. And thus I can only ever just help those of you who want to release yourselves from his control. And I will truly do so by every means, for alone the fact that you are being informed of the approaching immense adversity .... that you can increase your strength through prayer if you believe in it .... is a very significant help. For you all are capable of uniting yourselves with Me in prayer, of appealing to your Father that He should grant you the mercy of not becoming quite as badly affected by this natural event, which is at all times in My power. And every such prayer sent to Me in spirit and in truth will be granted by Me, this is why not all people will be equally affected, and My will shall visibly express itself and also strengthen the faith of those who were still doubtful .... Yet even those who don't believe will begin to wonder, their hatred towards the believers will increase and subsequently degenerate into hostility, which My Own will also have to suffer. Nevertheless, they have My guaranteed protection, because as long as they work for Me and My kingdom I will also know how to guide their steps so that they will not remain unsuccessful, and the souls which received help from them in their spiritual and earthly adversity will be very thankful to them ....

Amen

The path under the cross must be taken by all people ....

B.D. 8983 from May 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You cannot be told often enough that you must all take the path to the cross, and neither can I release you from this path to the cross because you are all burdened by the guilt of sin for which Jesus, the human being, made

Amends, and because, until you do, you cannot enter the kingdom of light which only He can open for you. Consequently, the knowledge of the reasons and the significance of the act of Salvation must time and again be conveyed and explained to you humans, for your belief in it is only very weak now, time and again people will deem it a myth they are supposed to believe but which cannot be proven historically. But Jesus came into the world for the sake of an important mission, and He indeed accomplished this mission by walking the most gruelling path to the cross, by placing the whole of humanity's sins upon His shoulders and enduring the most bitter suffering and pain of death on the cross, which opened the door to the kingdom of light for all souls who place themselves under His cross, who want to belong to those who are redeemed, who confess their sins to Him and appeal to Him for forgiveness. For only the free will to accept the act of Salvation and its blessings will loosen the shackles which keep you chained to the one you once followed voluntarily and thereby sinned against Me .... The evidence for this can no longer be given to you people, you must believe that the man Jesus died the most agonising death on your behalf in order to do penance for Me. However, you will be able to muster this belief and time and again discover it through My spirit, so that you can also advocate this belief with conviction, for precisely this working of the spirit in a person has only become possible through Jesus' death on the cross .... through the act of Salvation, so that a person's abilities, which had laid dormant in him while he was still burdened by his original sin, can break through again. This working of the spirit will continually take place .... People will always be able to receive the information about the great work of mercy which was accomplished by the man Jesus for the sake of the original sin ....

It was not merely the act of a human being, as I Myself sheltered in the man Jesus and thus redeemed your guilt .... Love impelled Him to take the immense suffering upon Himself .... I Myself was this Love and I was able to so completely permeate Jesus, the man, that therefore Love Itself accomplished the act of Salvation .... that the human being Jesus was only a shell for Me in order to visibly suffer and die for people, because, as God, I was incapable of suffering. Nevertheless, He kept His body so as to, in unity with Me, be and remain a visible God for all My living creations. And thus you will now understand that no-one can avoid the cross if ever he wants to return into the kingdom of the blessed spirits. You will understand why the original sin will keep you apart from Me forever, and that, for the sake of My justice, I cannot redeem it in any other way than through the acknowledgment of the greatest sacrifice of love and an appeal for forgiveness .... Only then will you be able to return into your Father's house, which you once left of your own free will by following the one into the abyss who is an enemy of all life and who wants to keep you in a state of death .... However, you have free will and can just as easily take the path to Me, to Jesus Christ, in order to be and remain eternally happy. I cannot deprive you of your freedom of will, but neither can My adversary force you to submit to him, you must make your own decision; consequently, Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation will be pointed out to you time and again, you will be informed of His path of suffering, His bitter and painful death on the cross, to make you aware of the fact that you yourselves have been the cause of this act of atonement and subsequently take the path under His cross, voluntarily confess your guilt to Him and appeal to Him for forgiveness. And My infinite love will acquit you of your guilt, My infinite love, which sheltered in the man Jesus, will loosen your fetters and open the gate through which you may enter into My kingdom of light and bliss, where you can be permeated again by My light of love, as it was in the beginning.

Ascension of Jesus ....

B.D. 8984 from May 27th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Also My ascension is a doubtful event for you men because you cannot believe it that only a process happened visibly, which all souls that have become perfect experience, which you just cannot follow and that is why also My ascension seems to be unbelievable to you, but which actually happened, however only visibly again for the ones who are Mine, for My disciples and all who believed in Me and in My mission, who believed it that in Me the highest being hid Itself, and that is why they also could experience everything unusual without them having been forced to believe. And purpose of My visible ascent upwards was only that that My disciples, to whom I had given the assignment to go out into the world to announce My gospel, could stand up for Me and My word in all strength of faith, because they saw Me with their bodily eyes go up to heaven, and thus they experienced the crowning of their faith that I disappeared before their eyes, that they could clearly see and recognize Me and that I was suddenly no longer there, because the spiritual kingdom had received Me again, the kingdom where I reigned in power and glory .... My body had spiritualized itself, and it was this spiritual cover which was visible to disciples until I disappeared before their eyes. Yet this ascension of Mine had left no emptiness in them but only brought them the confirmation that every word they had heard from My mouth had been truth. And that is why they also stood up for every word full of conviction and they became right announcers for Me, who could speak filled with My spirit, who therefore also mentioned everything of it, what took place with the work of mercy .... that they therefore testified of Me and the work of redemption. The fact that My ascension is again and again doubted by people is due to the fact that the actual purpose of the human being is unknown to them, that the spiritualization process of the body is alien to them and that they will not be able to gain information about it until they seriously decide to increase their spiritual maturity themselves. Then also this process would be believable to them, which was nothing else than the passage of the spiritualized body into the kingdom on the other side, where life is continued in all bliss. But for this the belief in a survival of the soul belongs first .... Who does not have this faith, he will also not want to believe in a process, which should be a proof for you men for the survival of the soul after death. But My disciples did not lack this faith, it is just that such visible evidence of My presence had not yet been given to them .... But that is why I could let the process become visible to them, because they had already penetrated into knowledge and now only experienced the confirmation of it. They were certainly saddened to now finally know Me there, where also their true home was, but they knew it that I wanted to prepare the place for them, where also they were to stay one day, to reap the fruits of the earth change, which consisted in the spreading of the gospel and showed many men the way up. And however difficult the ways were, which they had to go, they had nevertheless experienced Me; they knew it that I was now with them, that I directed their thoughts and again and again gave them instructions, which were to make their mission easier for them .... For no-one could any longer rob them of the faith that I was God Myself, that they also now receive the strength from Me directly, and thus they were also filled by My spirit, as I had promised them .... They knew that they only still had to fulfil their mission in order to then likewise leave the earth valley and be able to enter the kingdom of light .... Yet to you people of the end time all this seems like a legend which you cannot believe, yet My ascension into heaven has indeed taken place, which will be understandable to everyone who has already penetrated further into spiritual knowledge and who himself makes an effort to spiritualize his body .... Then he, too, will ascend to the eternal light, only that it will remain hidden from his fellow human beings and must also remain hidden so as not to force them to believe .... But those disciples were already alive in their faith, and I knew it that it only helped them to strengthen their faith, why only those were allowed to experience My ascension, for whom it no longer meant compulsion of faith. And so you should also accept it that it truly took place, and you will also be able to do it when a little knowledge has been presented to you about it, which meaning and purpose your earth life has at all .... Then everything will also become understandable to you for which the completely ignorant cannot muster any understanding ....

Amen

After reading the book "Karmatha" ....

B.D. 8985 from May 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is right when you question Me, where you are not sure of it, whether messages reach you out of the spiritual kingdom, which can lay claim to truth. For you all do not know if and when My adversary intervenes under the cover of piety, especially when vessels are offered to him which are difficult to control because they seem to go in the same direction and yet are served by such forces who want to spread erroneous spiritual material .... You have always been told that I Myself, as the eternal truth, want to be approached for the supply of pure truth and that I cannot contradict Myself .... But if you are given a picture which portrays to you the development of a child which first has to be trained in My kingdom for a later mission on earth, then this contradicts My portrayal of not fallen original spirits or of fallen original spirits who have already reached the light and who go across earth on a mission for the purpose of attaining childship to God .... So you are consciously misled, and that is from a side, which itself is ignorant, but pleases itself in novel-like representation, which also had this gift in earth life to express itself imaginatively, and who now again seek such vessels, which are in the same condition, but without attacking Me Myself thereby, who only do not report truthfully, who only wrap themselves in the garment of an angel of light to thereby put an untruth into the world. Hence only such beings will ever inspire the writer who do not stand in truth themselves, who therefore seek to spread error on behalf of My adversary and for the purpose of credibility certainly portray Me Myself as the one I am but also confirm everything that, that is error. And therein lies the actual evil of those messages, that I Myself am to confess Me to an open untruth .... Who knows My act of creation, he knows it in which way it went on; he knows it that all beings were created perfectly, that they fell away from Me, but that I never created beings, which first had to be educated by higher light beings, but that they all stood on the same level, only separated themselves later through the apostasy, in order to now take the return path through the abyss, that they can now certainly also be called away from earth as children and can now also continue the course of development in the beyond, but that I Myself did not create any still unfinished beings and that this is therefore the untruth which My adversary seeks to spread. Moreover the thought has been decisive to fathom the pre-development of a man, who offered himself to Me for service, and it has led to this description, because beings always agree to spread error, and whether it also happens under the cover of piety. And even if such a report cannot be called ruinous, it is still built up on an untruth, and this is always a danger, because only pure truth can make a man completely happy ....

Address of God must be desired ....

B.D. 8986 from May 30th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When spiritual knowledge is imparted to you by Me Myself, then you also have the duty to pass it on, provided that it concerns messages, which are given for all men, which are to serve all men for the reshaping of their souls to love, therefore everything what can be called knowledge, which reaches into spiritual area, which you did not possess before, but is to lead to the recognition of it. For through these transmissions I address all men; I as it were announce to you again My gospel of love, but which I provide at the same time with the reason necessary for you, under which everything must be understood what has caused your human existence on this earth, what is valid as purpose and aim of earth life .... in short, everything that gives you again the bright knowledge which you had lost through your fall into sin .... And so therefore My messages from above include everything in themselves, through which the course of ascent development is guaranteed for you. And that is why you will have to realize the importance of passing on and also that I Myself do everything to support you in this work, because I know it, which resistances arise for you and how you are hindered on the part of My opponent, but who is powerless, because it is about the spreading of the divine love light and he flees this, as soon as he recognizes strong light bearers among you. When you therefore offer yourselves to Me to carry on My gospel of love, then he cannot get you into his power, because you then fight at My side; you stand up for Me and so also experience My protection. And that you are allowed to be receivers of My messages, which I address directly or also indirectly, that is again based on your love, which will increase the more you receive. Therefore you need not fear that I will let My source of grace dry up as long as you want to serve Me .... But one thing I have to emphasize is that you have to make a distinction between spiritual impartations which lead you to profound knowledge, to a knowledge of what is otherwise hidden to you and such messages which are to be assessed as advice .... directed to your fellow human beings who expect advice from you or through you. Because also then I will express Myself when you intimately ask Me, because I speak to every child, which expects this address .... You must keep this apart, that .... if such an address is not expected .... I will not express Myself either unless I speak to everyone and then everyone will recognize this address as being addressed to him, that he can accept and take it to heart according to his will but also reject it. You must always consider that I hand spiritual bread to all men, which they now can accept or not, so that no man feels himself forced .... but that I do not choose the way to win him through a personal address, if he himself does not desire it from the heart .... If My word conveyed to you from above is offered to a person, he is entirely at liberty to accept it as also addressed to him, but he can also reject it .... But if he is addressed without his direct request he will immediately reject this word, he will not be able to help feeling a slight unease, and this is also justified because he was in no relationship whatsoever with Me and he rejects such a 'direct address' as untrustworthy. For everything has to happen without compulsion of will, and therefore I always address people in such a way that they are not forced to believe it .... But a personal address is always a compulsion of will, which is not of use for him, indeed can rather still let him doubt the credibility of all word receivers. That is why I also advise every man to ask questions himself, which I will certainly answer him in his heart after intimate prayer, because exactly the intimacy of his prayer will also cause Me to express Myself in him .... For I desire such a one, because then the union with Me is established, which makes it possible for Me to express Myself. But also a mediator must pay attention that the questioner himself presents his requests to Me, that he himself is just as eagerly endeavoured to unite with Me .... that he not only expresses a question, which I am to answer him, but wrestles in intimate prayer himself for the answer to his question, which then will also earn him the answer through a mediator .... You must always consider that every man must acquire the maturity of his soul himself, that you certainly can help him to go the right way, but that the will of man must always remain free, which you are not allowed to endanger through announcements, which are arbitrarily supplied to those who have not desired them from the heart. Because these I also do not address, because the desire for My direct address must be present, if it is not about the great knowledge about realization in the spiritual area, which I let go to all men without distinction ....

Diversity of the celestial bodies ....

B.D. 8987 from May 31th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The area, which is unfathomable for your mind, you can still enter, as My spirit can work in you .... Then there are no limits for you, for My mind is My portion, and I Myself know all, nothing is unknown to Me, and so I can also convey the same through My spirit, I can open up you into all areas .... But it depends on your maturity level, how far you can take insight into the secrets of creation, and depending on your level of maturity I can teach you, although even the smallest knowledge corresponds fully to the truth. But it’s up to you, to increase the maturity level, to be able to penetrate deeper what only love always realizes. For love bands closely together with Me, and then you shall also be filled by My spirit, you shall be able to see the whole creation lightly and clearly and capture all contexts. You will also know about the kind of creations, their purpose and their respective destination. You will also know about the diversity of the stars, which are so versatile, because they also carry all different mature souls and .... since I had countless ideas and them could carry out .... I therefore also formed every star after each other thoughts (laws), but which should all be for the return of the once fallen (spirituals). I’m not a being, Who is limited, Who gives up or uses up in His strength .... I constantly create and always new ideas emerge from Me and take shape .... I have so many mansions, where the development of those beings on the way back to Me is going on, My creations are countless and ever more creations arise out of My love, because I prepare new joys again and again for all of My beings, as more and more all of them climb to height, when they are on this way once. And so the people on earth are .... once when they have reached to a small glimmer of insight in the afterlife .... now also ascend and a throwback to the depth is excluded. Countless celestial bodies are to accommodate for these souls again, always appropriated to their level of maturity, that is always more increasing and thus also forces a change of their residence again and again .... You humans can see countless celestial bodies from earth, though those are for you to look .... but are innumerable. And there are still countless celestial bodies in the whole of creation, that are invisible for you, so that they also far exceed your estimate capacity as a human being .... So you only can watch the whole creation in the brightest light, because then you also know no longer limiting. But then your bliss doesn’t know limits, for you know the determination of any star and also to the state of maturity of its inhabitants, and you will always seek to increase it, to put them all in the same condition, in which you yourselves now dwell: in intimate union with Me Myself and constant streaming by love .... But a condition of your ascension is, that you possess a glimmer of knowledge .... And that means, that the truth has already penetrated you, because before that you move in the dark or walk in light twilight .... that you can not seperate from heresies. And the number of them is large .... This condition is probably is tried to be changed by light beings, but as long as they are rejected, there is no hope, and a throwback to the depth is still to be feared. But as well as there is just some love in them, they will not be closed from the intentions of the beings of light, which point them again and again to Jesus Christ, then they will also get off of their error and accept the truth, and the way up for them is safely. For these people the knowledge could have been developed already on earth, if they had attended to the voice of the spirit in themselves, because having already the knowledge on earth, opens the people the door to the kingdom of light, and they will certainly find back their way into Father’s house, in order to unite with Me forever ....

Outpouring of the spirit was not a one-time event ....

B.D. 8988 from June 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I only require from you the willingness to let My love illuminate you in order to then also be able to pour out My spirit, which guides you into all truth. I require of you that you voluntarily open yourselves to Me again in order to then also be able to make yourselves happy with the knowledge which you once possessed but had voluntarily given away. It is so easy to understand that you must cancel your former sin through that you again give Me the love, which you yourselves gave up to Me, and that you again let yourselves be illuminated by My love, as once, when you were still devoted to Me willfully .... that you therefore enter again into the original state, which made you unspeakably happy. And again you will be happy, because to receive My love is the highest happiness, which you can prepare for yourselves. But always your free will is needed for it .... With the outpouring of My spirit in you you will again reach the state of realization, for this is the effect of My spirit, that it opens up the knowledge to you again, which once made you happy, and then you will also recognize the rule and work of your God and father, that you will know about all correlations and no longer walk along in blindness of spirit .... that you stand in the light, for the knowledge of truth is light in which you may now walk, which impels you to pass this light on to where there is still spiritual darkness. From the moment you open yourselves to Me you live your earthly life consciously, for you clearly and distinctly recognize that a aim lies ahead of you which you should achieve and which you can also achieve because you can always draw the strength from Me which the process of spiritual working entails .... And even if you are physically weakened your soul will still be able to enjoy this strength because everything that comes from Me can only have a good effect for you. And your longing will only be for the final union with Me .... You will make an effort to fulfil My will, which only ever consists of you practicing love, of you practicing all virtues and thus maturing your soul. The outpouring of the spirit into a vessel opening itself to Me is the highest what a man can acquire on earth, because then he has already entered My kingdom; the light of knowledge shines for him, and voluntarily he has again come closer to his original state, because to be filled with My spirit also presupposes the redemption through Jesus Christ. And then he is also free from My adversary, who will indeed try him again and again but without success. The outpouring of the spirit is no imagination but the human being can prove it through tremendous, extensive knowledge which he has never possessed before but which lies dormant in every person and only needs to be brought to awaken .... But man will also now know that he thinks right when he represents this knowledge; he will know it because his spirit itself tells him this, and no-one will be able to rob him of faith. (4.6.1965) Who allows the outpouring of My spirit in himself, he is an aspirant of My kingdom with all its glories, because he has taken the last step to enter this kingdom by voluntarily establishing the bond with Me as the source of light and power from eternity .... he has put himself into the state in which My first disciples were when they were able to be permeated by My spirit and now proclaimed Me aloud, for in the same way as they did they will also (the last one will) now not be able to keep silent, they will (he will) speak without shyness about the fact that I Myself make Myself known to them (him), they will (he will) proclaim the gospel of love and completely move on a spiritual path. They (he) will also be convinced himself to only speak the pure truth because My spirit guides them (him) into this .... And whether also a long time has passed since these My disciples have experienced the outpouring of My spirit over them, so still the few, at whom the same process repeats itself, will be just as convinced of truth and stand up for it. And therefore I again and again see to it that disciples speak on My behalf, and this especially in the time of the end, where almost all faith in a spirit work has been lost. And also these I send out again with the assignment to pass on the eternal truth to willing men, who desire pure truth, which however only comes from Me Myself .... through the working of My spirit in the human being .... emanate. The fact that you humans only regard this act of the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples as an one-off act, that you lack the knowledge that this act could take place in all those who, like My first disciples, lived a life of love .... proves the lack of love and the influence of My adversary, who is always intent on keeping you in darkness. But still again and again men have been enlightened by My spirit who were serious about standing in truth. And these also worked in silence but were soon no longer heard, for the adversary worked so obviously that he chose precisely those to support him who were actually supposed to represent the truth, who believed themselves called to stand in the pure truth and now proclaim it .... And so 'spirit-filled' people have always been hostile because their spiritual knowledge contradicted their own teachings. And it remained so, error prevailed more and more, because no attention was paid to what people received through My spirit, and because in the end even this working remained unknown to people and not even those who knew the scripture experts dealt with this problem, which they could solve with the scripture itself .... And thus the act of the 'outpouring of the spirit' has only been granted to My first disciples .... but everything that is written in scripture also applies to all people .... everyone can put himself into the state that the same grace will be granted to him if only he lives a life of love and the desire for pure truth prevails in him, which then also enlightens the person from within, thus 'My spirit works in him' ....

Natural disaster before the end ....

B.D. 8989 from June 5th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My care of love is meant for all My living creations, which expresses itself again and again through My word, for I want the path to Me to become easy for them, I want My will to be presented to them in all clarity, which they .... if they earnestly strive for it .... will comply with and are therefore not merely listeners but doers of My word. And My love also extends to those people who are still far away from Me, whom I cannot address directly but whom I also do not want to lose, whom I do not want to leave to My adversary who irrevocably draws them down to the abyss again .... And for their sake I still let a great judgement go over earth, to which I have already pointed a long time. I still make a last attempt before the end, which will follow soon afterwards .... I obviously announce Myself but without forcing men to believe. Because whether also the forces of nature will still have such an elementary effect .... only part of people will ever recognize My obvious manifestations in them, while most will still deny a God and creator even then on the grounds that a God Who created everything does not destroy His own works .... And they cannot be forced to think differently, and it will be their lot to be banished anew again in the creations of the new earth. But the few who recognize Me Myself and My voice in the coming disaster, to them I will stand by in all earthly troubles and seek to strengthen their faith so that they do not get lost at the end, or I will call them away still before into the kingdom on the other side. Because My love goes after every soul to win it back to spare them a renewed walk through the creation of earth. And I think of it that you still stand under the law of time and space, that it means an unthinkable long time for you, where you again remain in unhappiness, until you again reach the stage as man, where you will certainly then again have the feeling for time and space in the state of I-consciousness, but still have to suffer unspeakably before. When now mankind will be affected by that natural disaster then it will certainly be stiff from horror about the size and the extent of the event, and a fear will seize men who stay behind that this event could repeat itself and that no country is safe to also be affected by it. And yet, only a few people will want to recognize Me Myself in it and change their lives .... Because the majority is faithless, and they only see in it a natural event which is just greater than all previous ones, which has to be accepted, no matter whether it claims many victims .... And it will also not be possible to make the end believable to them, which will be exceedingly significant and serious for them. Because they are rather inclined to see the natural event as being in connection with the human attempts to penetrate the universe, but to recognize no divine power or strength in it, which they deny, because they are already so entangled in the darkness of spirit that a change of thinking is impossible for them. And still this natural event is the last sign before the end, which should make everyone think .... And I also pursue all My creatures with My love, who are not completely dismissive and will also think about what I aim at with it, and consider everything as an address of those (to those), who did not recognize My quiet voice and therefore have to be addressed louder .... For I still woo every soul until the end that it finds the way to Me and surrenders to Me, and truly, My love will seize it, and it will be saved for time and eternity ....

Various schools of thought .... There is only one truth ....

B.D. 8990 from June 6th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

In every school of thought you will find something that corresponds to truth, yet you will encounter far more misguided points of view and therefore you must examine everything and establish its origin .... not everything can be endorsed as truth. The vast number of existing different schools of thought all deviate from each other. And this alone should make you think, for there is only one truth and this originates from Me directly. Pure truth, however, will only ever be gained through the working of the spirit in the human being, for this reason it is imperative to establish first where My spirit was able to take effect and thus also has taken effect. Then the contents must concur with My direct message from above .... But who can claim to have the working of My spirit in him? Who has the guarantee that pure truth is received by him and conveyed to him? This question is clearly answered to you: Anyone who, without having any previous knowledge, attains knowledge from within himself about My eternal plan of Salvation, about the meaning and purpose of his existence, about My reign and activity throughout the whole of infinity, anyone who can substantiate everything and knows all correlations .... is enlightened by My spirit, and his knowledge corresponds to the full truth against which the contents of every spiritual movement must be examined, and every teaching which contradicts this knowledge can be rejected .... This certainly provides you with the opportunity to subject the knowledge you have attained until now to scrutiny, but who makes use of this indication in order to take possession of the pure truth himself?! Each school of thought refuses to let go of its own point of view, and thus a vast number of erroneous teachings were able to slip in through My adversary's influence, although every spiritual movement contains a grain of truth as well. However, they all agree not to accept anything which really is the truth! .... For precisely this process of the 'working of the spirit in the human being' is alien to all schools of thought, and so only rarely do people believe that I make Myself known to anyone who fulfils the conditions I attached to it. This condition requires the human being to live a life of love, because love unites him with Me and, as a result, I Myself can speak to him .... This condition could be met by any human being and he, too, would know the truth and think correctly. And all those who comply with My easy commandment will also be convinced that the truth is conveyed to them when they receive such gained knowledge through 'the working of the spirit'. Yet their number is small precisely because people lack love .... Consequently, being members of any kind of spiritual movement will not benefit you if you diligently advocate its teachings .... you are nevertheless spiritually dead for you do not recognise the truth, which alone can advance you on the path towards ascent .... And as long as you are unaware of the actual purpose of your earthly life, the knowledge you possess is wrong and can never lead you to higher spheres. This can only ever be achieved by love, which all of you can practise but are unwilling to do so because your selfish love is still too strong and thus the truth still remains inaccessible to you, i.e., you don't recognise it as such .... And you will live in error, just as you will enter the spiritual kingdom with this error, where it is far more difficult to release yourselves from it, for you will not accept the truth over there either, even if it is offered to you. It therefore always depends on your degree of love as to whether your thoughts come close to the truth, and this is why you need only ever be given the teaching of love so that your thoughts will be right, so that My spirit will be able to express itself in you, so that you will recognise and accept the pure truth which will assuredly guide you upwards towards your perfection .... For darkness will always fight against light, yet the world belongs to the prince of darkness and only the person who detaches himself from him can enter My kingdom. And I will truly help everyone to recognise Me and the truth ....

Amen

The doctrine of the soul’s sleep ....

B.D. 8991 from June 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The fact that you are willing to support My Word, which is sent to you from above, gives Me reason to inform you of an error you have advocated up to now. It concerns the doctrine of the sleep of the soul, which gives you a completely wrong idea about the soul and its state when it enters the spiritual kingdom. This doctrine is substantiated by the assertion that there is no mention of an immortal soul anywhere in the Scriptures .... which, however, can be refuted with the Words ‘Whosoever believes in Me will have eternal life ....’ And sleep is a brother of death .... thus someone asleep will not be alive but dead, in the darkness of night he will fall into the state of death, consequently a life in eternity is out of the question. Those of you who depart from earth with this idea will be in dire straits, for you really lack all knowledge and will take a long time to gain a glimmer of understanding. In fact, you will depart from this earth in complete blindness and will receive only little light in the beyond, if you lived a life of love on earth.

But until you let go of this misguided teaching you will not know that you have died either, since you are still in the state of self-awareness, which is your consciousness of continued life. You merely believe that you were transported into different surroundings but will never be able to find rest .... the kind of rest you associate with the state of sleep. And so you will still live but not in a state of beatitude, rather, you will live in the confusion of thought which corresponds to the teachings you advocated on earth.

Everything that emerges from Me remains immortal for all eternity, but it can enter the kingdom of the beyond in a state of death. And all of you who spread this misguided teaching choose this state of death. You do not strive for the life that should be your destiny when you enter the spiritual kingdom. Because only this is the beginning of your life, providing you live a life of love and are able to let go of this misguided teaching. If you believe in a ‘resurrection on the day of Judgment’, when all who rest in their graves will be awakened, then it will also be your fate not to come to life until you realise the foolishness of this teaching. And your existence in the beyond will be the same, you will linger in an eternal state of inactivity, in a state of sleep, or you will find yourselves in a world you believe to be earth, which you left a long time ago.

Particularly you humans who advocate this misguided teaching, have no idea what anti-spirit you have accepted, and you will have to muster an enormous amount of love in order to suddenly recognise the reality of things. Consider yourselves fortunate if you leave someone behind on earth who will pray on your behalf, who will help you gain the right insight. However, your degree of love is always the decisive factor as to whether or not you recognise the truth in a flash when you pass away from earth. But since you do not believe in the ‘immortality of soul’ you do not believe in communications from the spiritual kingdom either, which would provide you with knowledge. And that is your disadvantage, because it would inform you of the constant ascent of souls who enter the spiritual kingdom, and you would reject this misguided teaching as satanic and only intended to prevent you from ascending in the beyond, which would soon result in the true life you are all meant to reach one day ....

Amen

Right direction of free will ....

B.D. 8992 from June 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Again and again it has been explained to you why I have endowed you with free will, the sign of divinity. And still you mostly use free will wrongly, although it is told to you that your happiness depends on the direction of this will. Because also My opponent seeks to make this free will his own, and you follow him far sooner, because there are urges in you, which clearly prove his nature and which you would like to fulfil, even if you then take damage to your soul. The earthly world is his kingdom, and with this he will lure you again and again, and as soon as you fulfil his will, the life of the soul is lost to you. But this earthly world will only make you happy until you leave your earthly body, only then will you experience what earthly life has brought you .... only then will you regret your earthly life with the slightest glimmer of realization that you did not fully give your will to Me .... For then you would have entered the kingdom on the other side blessed with rich goods, and you would know why your will had to be free and could not be forced by Me. But you could just as well turn it towards Me, and a happy life would have been granted to you, which would never have stopped. You therefore had to be in possession of free will to be able to determine your lot, because from Me no being stands under compulsion, because that would have meant a state of deficiency, however only most perfect could emerge out of Me. But through your free will you also had the possibility to fall into endless depths, but to be able to rise again out of it to highest height, what would not have been possible, if I would have created you without free will, that you therefore well would have done mechanically everything what My will determined, but not you .... free from My will .... because then you would have been dead creatures which had to completely subordinate yourselves to My will. And this completely contradicted My love, wisdom and power .... to populate the spiritual world with such dead beings, for everything issued from Me had to be supremely perfect, and that also necessitates free will .... That this freedom of will became your undoing I certainly foresaw from eternity, but that it also earned you the complete maturity, which resulted in the degree of a child of God, I also foresaw, and that also moved Me not to prevent the falling away of the beings, which then would also have meant that I had to make your will unfree. You men will only grasp all this when you can be radiated through by light, because in the state as man you are not receptive for deeper wisdoms, and you will never be able to understand why I let a creature go such a dreadfully long way from Me to come to the last perfection. But you will also never be able to understand in what the great sin consisted, which the being committed. Because the way through all agonies does not yet by far make up for this sin, and first the highest being had to descend to earth to redeem this sin. But then also the door is again open to the being, which leads to Me into the kingdom of light. But all this did not need to happen when the being would have directed its free will right .... And again you will also not be able to grasp and fathom My plan of salvation from eternity because I Myself am eternally unfathomable for you, My creatures, because you will never be able to completely grasp Me in My love, wisdom and power .... For My love is endless and embraces all My creatures .... My wisdom is unlimited and wants to give all My creatures the highest happiness, and My power is unsurpassable and can do everything what it wants and what contributes to the happiness of My creatures .... so in the end your lot will be a glorious one, which can no longer be surpassed, and My creatures as My children will now enjoy all bliss, they will always and forever praise and glorify Me and sing thanks for the love I have shown them .... even when they went through the torments, for they have passed away but the bliss remains with them for all eternity ....

Requesting divine blessing ....

B.D. 8993 from June 11th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whatever you undertake, you must always ask for My blessing, then only everything can earn you the success, which you hope for. And that you especially then work with My blessing when you undertake spiritual work, that will also give you the power for it, because where I Myself am approached for help, there a work cannot be done in vain. And My blessing will rest on every spiritual work, because it is the most important, which you are to do for the sake of the redemption of your fellowmen. And since you fulfil My will with it, that you take care of the neighbour's spiritual trouble, My blessing will also always be certain for you, but you are to request it consciously, because then I can give to you unlimitedly. You thereby prove to Me that you place yourselves completely under My will, that you are only ever prepared to serve Me, that you want to do nothing that does not correspond to My will, and that you love Me as I want to be loved .... Your request for My blessing I also comply with immediately, because this is a spiritual request, which is certainly also to be assessed spiritually, if you ask for earthly things and I will certainly also fulfil these for you, because you then also only ask for something what is not to the harm of the soul for you. Therefore always pray for My blessing, whatever you also want to undertake. Pray that I bless you every conversation, every action and every thought. pray for My blessing in every undertaking you want to carry out, and thus never leave Me out of your thoughts, for you will experience for yourselves how important it is that you submit yourselves to Me in everything, that through this request you always long for My presence and that it is also certain to you .... I always just want that you constantly think of Me, because only then I can obviously stand by you, and I will also do that that I give you clear signs of My presence and through this your faith is strengthened more and more. Because this will still be exposed to many onslaughts from the side of My opponent, and only when you are strong in faith, you will be able to resist these onslaughts. And if you now ask Me in every spiritual or bodily trouble to bless your doing, you will also be able to meet all disaster, because it is now always Me, to whom you have entrusted yourselves and who now acts for you, you therefore only carry out what is My will .... You must always be connected to Me, every thought should always be directed towards Me first, then all your actions will also be under My blessing, and then you will mature in love and also in knowledge, for then My strength of love will constantly flow into you, and a quiet peace will be your lot .... Do not leave Me out of your thoughts any longer .... This is My perpetual care for you that I want to be the content of your thoughts, that I can constantly go to your side, but what presupposes your will to request and accept My guidance. But then you can cover your earthly way of life without worry, for I Myself desire you and expect nothing more from you than that you also have this desire in yourselves, that it may also be your most ardent desire never ever to separate and to be united with Me for all eternity ....

Amen

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

B.D. 8994 from June 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

With the support of all good powers this work has come into being, and the world of light will also continue to be involved in it, because it is about that what is most significant for you men, about truth, which only comes from above .... from the kingdom of truth .... can come. The world of light is eagerly endeavouring to break through the darkness which is spread over earth and to inform people of knowledge which only I alone can radiate through them to earth, which they constantly receive from Me Myself and pass on to people who are willing to love and who voluntarily open themselves to this flow of grace. The last event .... the total transformation of the earth's surface .... is imminent, and it prompts all beings of light to be diligently active so that the truth will assert itself, so that it will be conveyed to those who seriously desire the truth, and so that all those who receive it will also commit themselves to it and again and again try to win followers. And even if the circle of those is very small, but they all enter the kingdom on the other side richly blessed with spiritual goods and can again mentally instruct men from there .... because who once possesses truth, his endeavour will always be to also impart it to those who still walk along in darkness of spirit .... All of you who receive My word from above are under the special protection of the beings of light so that you can also carry out your mission without worry, for you will not leave the earth valley one day sooner until you have fulfilled your mission for the purpose of which you were allowed to enter earth, even if this seems unlikely to you .... In view of the great spiritual hardship you need not fear failure, after all, people only rarely place themselves at My disposal, and those who voluntarily offer to pass on the truth will be blessed by Me, for I also need willing forces on earth who are active on My behalf .... For whether My adversary also seeks to prevent them .... he has no power over those who have completely given their will to Me, who are willing to be active in My will. For all those have strong spirits of light around them again, which guide them in their thoughts and also again and again supply them with power, because it is still necessary to awaken many people and to hand them spiritual bread as well as a fresh drink, which is to give them life .... Where I have opened up a spring there you shall all refresh yourselves .... where I work so obviously you can drop every worry, for who has the power to prolong your life if not I, Who have given you life? And so too you should not worry about your co-workers who .... as long as they work for Me .... truly can do nothing better than to help spread the truth. The full conviction that they only spread the truth makes them the most suitable forces, which I truly do not take from earth until they have done the work assigned to them .... And this I assure you again and again that your life lies in My hand and that you can also know to be protected by all light beings, because they only carry out My will, and this is always only anxious that I still rescue men from ruin, who want to let themselves be rescued. Every person's life is in My hands .... And when I call men away before through misfortunes and disasters of all kind, then I know exactly who still can reach maturity in the hereafter and who has not proved himself in earth life, and I have further schools ready for all these to win them once nevertheless for Me, even if still eternal times can pass away .... But all this is only to let you men think of the fact that there is a power, to Which you are given up without will, and you should seek to establish the union with It, because only in the union with Me you will mature on earth and then also be receptive for the pure truth, which you all must accept, if you once want to be and remain happy eternally ....

Life in divine order ....

B.D. 8995 from June 14th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you humans would all move in divine order then your maturing would be guaranteed because you would then live in love, which is the epitome of divine order. You would then also stand in fullest truth, because the light of truth would shine in all of you and this truth inevitably leads you towards Me. But how does it look in mankind? I-love comes first, but neighbourly love, which is unselfish, is rarely practiced by only one man, and so door and gate is opened to My opponent, where he can have an effect and also does this, by him leading you into error, which lets you fall into his hands more and more and which can never ever lead to Me. And so you also know about the reason of your low; you know it why also the great earthly trouble is in the world; you know it that one is the enemy of the other, because all of you lack love, because it has grown cold among men, and without love no liberation from My opponent is possible. Therefore a limit is set for you men of the present time, because you no longer make use of earth life to bring your soul to maturity .... But the few who still move in divine order I know .... they belong to Mine whom I will rapture as the stock of the new human race .... the others will have to take the path once more, for the earth will be dissolved and its external form totally changed. Then the upward development of the spiritual is to progress again, because everything pushes towards perfection .... all spiritual still bound in form wants to progress in its development and for this purpose will again be begotten in the new creations .... so that in the beginning a harmonious state will prevail where all bound spiritual likes to serve and thereby again and again becomes free out of form. And that is why the act of dissolving and of forming anew cannot be seen as an act of unkindness because the spiritual in the last form as man has failed, and so it itself gave the impetus to the complete destruction of the outer form, and a section is ended to now let a completely new earth follow where now also the souls will come to maturity faster. But no man wants to believe in it and does not make use of the short earth time because whether also My word is constantly supplied to you from above, men do not believe it and ridicule everyone who brings this to their attention. But since only love would give them this knowledge, the state of men is also hopeless, even so the great trouble before will still give many the opportunity to awaken love in them in view of the great tribulation, which will come over mankind. Because through this a rescue is still to be hoped for that men are touched by the trouble of their fellowmen and are lovingly active.

Then I will also visibly come to the aid of those who are driven by love to alleviate the trouble. But there will only be a few of them .... But the end comes irrevocably and will surprise men .... It initiates a new redemption period, which again starts with a paradisiacal life, which also lasts for a long time and many souls enter the kingdom on the other side maturely, where they can again work as spirits of light .... I can only call out to all of you: once the time is ended, which was granted to you on this earth .... And if you fail, you will not be spared the fate of a new banishment, so that after an endless time you will again reach the stage as a human being and now have to make the decision again to whom you want to belong .... Me or My adversary .... And your fate will always be how this decision turns out ....

The eternal word itself addresses you ....

B.D. 8996 from June 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The eternal word Itself speaks to you .... The father wants that you hear He Himself again, as it was in the beginning, that you again feel the same happiness when He can radiate His light of love into you. He wants to make you happy again as once when you had gone out from Him as free beings, but when you also knew what you were. He now wants to make this knowledge accessible to you again, which you had lost through your turning away from Him. And therefore His word sounds to you from above .... you can hear it when you open yourselves to receive His ray of love. But then you are also close to your perfection; then you have successfully taken the way back to Him, and this means that you have finally made yourselves free of him who kept you bound until you had found the divine redeemer. And that is the sign that He is close to you, that you can talk with Him, that you can hear His word in the heart and reach that stage where you can again join the army of the happy spirits to now be able to be active with God and in His will. That you can hear the word of your father from eternity in you, if you still stay as man on this earth, that is a visible sign of His presence, because to be able to speak to you, He must also be close to you, so close that you can hear Him in the silence of the heart .... And when He reveals Himself to you, then this is also a sign that you consciously seek Him and have found Him, that you desire His address and that He also gives it to you. Because it is still a gift, an unheard-of favour, because He also addresses those who do not yet have maturity, but who can also reach it through His address, because His word has a power, which you cannot measure .... And anyone who is willing to be addressed, who does not resist His word, will truly also feel the strength of it, for he will manifestly receive a gift of grace which will help his soul to mature .... Because the father instructs His children; He instructs them of His will, and He introduces them into a knowledge, which they had lost, but which means a bright light for man, in which he now can go the way up. The word is the outflow of His love .... it is the epitome of that what will one day make the soul immeasurably happy .... it establishes the connection of the highest being with the human being who wants to hear His word .... And it is to be requested by all men with fervour because it as it were proves the entry into the spiritual kingdom, which is still closed to all those who are not receptive for the word of the father. Again and again the father addresses His children to prove Himself to them, but faith He only finds with those who have already carried out the change to love themselves, because love opens the view for them; love makes the heart receptive for the word, which now can express itself in a vessel having become love. And it will express itself as long as the world exists because the word sounded in the beginning and will never ever pass away .... It will always and forever sound in the spiritual kingdom and also on earth, but there only then when a vessel is found, which has formed itself through love so that the divine word .... the love radiation of the father .... can radiate into it. And all of you are to utilize this favour right, because when you just let it have an effect on you, you will irrevocably also reach life, which you can no longer lose eternally. But who passes it by, the word itself will become judgement for him. For he has not accepted the great grace, the gift which the father offered him .... He did not take hold of the helping hand that wanted to pull him up to the heights .... He has disregarded the word which wanted to turn the love of the father towards him, the sin of rejecting divine power of love has been repeated, and he will again have to go the course through creation which will again bring him endless torment .... For this is the sin against the spirit when man consciously opposes the father's address, when he recognizes His word as God's word and yet leaves it unheeded .... because he has to answer for it ....

Time and space law .... state of the still imperfect ....

B.D. 8997 from June 17th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You can assume with certainty that the work of return will one day be completely successful for Me .... that I will not turn away from any being, that every being will take the path to the father's house .... that even My first-fallen spirit will one day return to Me of its own accord and that therefore no being's fate could ever be called hopeless, even if it still keeps itself distant from Me for eternal times .... Because My love is guarantee for this, which will never stop to worry about every being, which once has taken its start from Me. Because since every law of time and space is eliminated for Me, it also does not mean that what you understand under eternal times .... With Me everything is one, past, present and future .... And also the sufferings and agonies, which you have to get through to again return to Me, are only moments for Me in relation to eternity. But it is precisely the law of time and space in which you can achieve your self-aware state .... as a human being .... and which makes the time of suffering so unbearable for you, for the being also suffers dreadful agonies in the bound state, because the spiritual being was once completely free and now feels the bondage as agony but yet knows nothing about the duration of this state. But as man this law is valid for him and it will not end until the being is in the state of perfection and then all limitation falls away for it. So the soul also takes the concept of time and space over with it into the kingdom on the other side, only it is in the immature state of confused thinking and believes itself already long times in an environment, which does not please it, although it is not yet long time in the kingdom on the other side. Therefore the concept of time and space is still a sign of its deficiency, but which the being will still have until it has found Jesus Christ .... which then also secures it brightest thinking, and complete devotion to Him also redeems from this bondage to time and space .... Therefore also the man, who still finds to Jesus Christ on earth, will no longer think earthly, but the thoughts will be directed heavenwards, and he has already made himself familiar with the thought that earth life is only a temporary state, in which he is to reach the last maturity .... that there is then also no longer time for him and that he can always transfer himself where he wants. And when man has already come up to this spiritual recognition, also no suffering will touch him anymore so that it seems to be unbearable for him, because he knows it that this also passes and will once appear to him like a shadow, which has fallen on his earth way. However, the human being as such must also be subject to the law of time and space, for his soul can only mature through suffering and torment, and the duration of time as well as the locations play a major role in this, for if this law were eliminated a major factor contributing to the maturing of the soul would be missing, because a state devoid of time and space is the fate of the already perfect, whereas it is a means for the still imperfect to do everything to become free of suffering and torment. Nothing that constitutes the bliss of the beings of light may be equal to that which the unblessed have to endure in the depths through their apostasy from Me .... The kingdom of these apostate spirits was a limited world, and thus they also had to suffer from this limitation .... But at any time they are free to lift this limited state and to be happy again without limitation .... But then they will also understand it that the time was like a moment where they had to bear suffering and atone for their former sin. And then it will also be clear to them that this law of time and space must also be part of the still imperfect spiritual world and that it only contributes towards perfection ....

God's protection to His employees ....

B.D. 8998 from June 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whatever may happen, leave yourselves completely to My guidance, which is always concerned about you that you remain loyal to Me. Whatever approaches you I know it, and I also know a way out for everything, because I care a lot about your cooperation, because the work, which you do, can only be carried out by men, who are completely devoted to Me. Nothing is hidden from Me; I know to direct the threads, and what you do not think possible, that I manage with ease, and you will again and again experience My guidance; you will again and again experience that there is nothing impossible for Me when it is about to impart the light of truth to men. And as long as you regard this task as the most important one, you can also know yourselves to be under My special protection, and everything will shape itself such that you will clearly recognize My guidance .... Because only one thing is necessary: that men have knowledge of their earth life task, of their state and of their aim. And everything what helps to bring knowledge to them I will support in every way, and you can rely on this promise that I will always take care to create the preconditions for you that you can carry out this work .... since there are only few men who earnestly want to serve Me and I will also not abandon these men. But leave it to Me how I want to help you, because also this is included in My eternal plan of salvation, so that everything takes place in lawful order, whereby I always have to take the will into account, which has to remain completely free, therefore everyone has to put himself voluntarily at My disposal to now be active in My will .... But you will be amazed at the ways I choose, and from this you will also be able to see how tremendously important your work is to Me for Me and My kingdom .... For I do not want the work to suffer a delay, because the time is only very short until the end and every opportunity is to be used where My word is conveyed to people, for it is the only salvation for those who want to accept it .... And therefore opportunity has to be offered to them so that no-one can say that he has not been addressed by Me, although I have many ways to address people, but this does not belong to your area, you are only to ensure as far as possible that they have an explanation for their human existence on this earth, that you inform them of their original state, of your present existence as man and of the aim, which they are to reach. You are to urgently present to them the commandments of love, that these are the most important, which they must observe to fulfil their purpose of existence. You are only to initiate them into the work of return, which is to prove to them My endless love and give them knowledge of My being .... For they no longer have faith, and that is why they need strong evidence of My working, which you can give them through your knowledge. And therefore I will not let any of My co-workers become unfit but do everything to make his work for Me and My kingdom easier. And again and again you will recognize My obvious guidance, which proves it to you how much I am interested in your cooperation. For I can determine everything but not the will of a man to serve Me .... And only few are found who muster the will, whom I then can also use as loyal servants in My vineyard. That is why I will always promise those My special protection, and I will guide them and go by their side so that they can fulfil their task ....

Amen

Jesus descended into the abyss after His crucifixion ....

B.D. 8999 from June 20th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When I lived on earth My constant thought was to save people from descending into utmost darkness so that they would be unable to enter the vestibule of hell (which even denied their entrance to the vestibule of hell), on account of which I continuously proclaimed the teaching of love to make it easier for them to believe in My act of Salvation, and thereby the work of redemption was already achieved in these human beings. Yet people were still too occupied with the earthly world, only a few believed in life after death and they were receptive to My teaching of love, and they recognised Me with ease since I was also able to instruct them and they accepted everything as truth. Thus a large proportion of those who experienced Me were able to enter My kingdom in a 'redeemed' state, yet far more rejected My teaching, they remained heartless and had to endure their fate in the beyond ....

After My crucifixion I also descended into this kingdom and was able to release all those who stayed in the vestibule of hell .... all the people who had lead a God-pleasing life but for whom the kingdom of light was still locked because they were still burdened by the original sin, since My act of Salvation had yet to be accomplished .... I approached them as the 'human being Jesus' for they, too, should not be compelled to believe, I joined them in My figure of suffering which made many ask the question: If You are the Messiah Who was promised to us, why did Your power not prevent this .... why did You have to suffer this appalling death on the cross? For they had been waiting for Me, for the One Who was promised to them as a Saviour. They, too, had to follow Me entirely of their own free will, and it was not difficult to convince them that I was this promised Messiah ....

Then, however, followed My descent into hell .... into the region where I also wanted to bring salvation from the original sin .... There I was less successful in convincing the souls, precisely because I appeared in the same figure and was visible to them as the 'beaten Jesus' to Whom they denied all power and thus they did not want to acknowledge Him either. Nevertheless, anyone who wanted to was allowed to follow Me and I released him from his bondage. And time and again I descend into the abyss to ignite a small light for everyone, so that they momentarily will remember the One Who once came to them and this will gradually lessen their resistance, so that they, who previously had been stubborn and only had words of hatred and scorn for Him, will also let themselves be redeemed by His love. Yet My love will not hold anything against them, My love is constantly concerned that everyone should be rescued, that no-one will return again into the bondage of the one who had owned them for so long, and that My act of Salvation for these, too, had not been made in vain. But I cannot prevent it if their resistance to Me is so strong that all efforts on My part are in vain, for I will never force anyone to acknowledge Me, I will only offer everyone the best possible opportunities to find their way out into the light.

And thus you humans render Me a great service by praying for these souls, for there will always be a few who will let go, who will be touched by the power of prayer and then can be guided into the light. And in sincere gratitude these souls will do the same and entice other souls out of the abyss .... since they know each other and they understand and try to disperse the objections which still dominate them.

Once it is possible that they at least take notice of My greatest act of mercy then they will also reflect on it and try to make contact with Me .... And then the forgiveness of their immense sin is ensured, then the gate into the kingdom of light will be opened for them and a long state of torment will have finished. Yet those who are unwilling will be subject to a new banishment at the end, for one day they will have to regain their self-awareness as a human being and decide once more .... And thus the process across earth can indeed happen more than once, and sooner or later even these beings' will shall surely turn to Me as well, one day the hour of salvation will also come for them ....

Amen

God is aware of the human will .... Natural disaster .... Protection of the servants ....

B.D. 9000 from June 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Everything is included in the plan of creation, and thus it follows that I know every person's will which, so to speak, provides Me with the reason to shape his destiny of life such that it can only benefit him, providing the person strives for the latter. And you can rest assured that I indeed know the inclination of every individual person's will but I cannot change it or make it inclined towards Me. Nevertheless, I can still let a human being take many paths in order to attain a change of will. This is what I intend to achieve through My intervention which will certainly claim countless people's lives but for whom the gates into the kingdom of the beyond will still be open so that they can still reach maturity there .... Yet the remaining survivors will be granted the tremendous grace of being able to accomplish this change of will while they are still on earth, in order to then be saved for eternity. Time and again I refer you humans to this event, but I do not find any credence .... Only very few people spend serious thought on the forthcoming event, yet even they are incapable of imagining the magnitude of the catastrophe, because it will surpass everything that ever has happened on this earth. And neither can the individual person form an impression of it, because people will be cut off from all communications, the connections between the affected places as well as the countries will no longer exist. Some swathes will seem entirely deserted where only a few will find each other in order to continue their life. Anyone who does not hold on to Me and entirely puts his trust in Me will be horror-struck. And then his will can decide .... Every individual person can still find Me and he will be very safely guided through the chaos .... But he can equally curse the Being Which allowed this to happen and the curse will fall back on him. And especially because I Am aware of people's will during the last days, it shall be My last attempt to spare people the dreadful fate of a renewed banishment. And again you will ask why I allow such destruction to come upon humanity, which will only be surpassed by the final disaster .... because you all lack faith in an eternal God, in a Creator of Heaven and Earth, in the One Who also created you .... The number of people who still possess faith and have not lost it as yet is constantly declining, and these will not cease to believe or they will be recalled beforehand so that they will not have to endure this suffering. And neither need you pity anyone who departed prior to it, for the opportunity to mature fully still exists for him in the beyond. But once this day has come it will be futile to escape for My hand reaches all places, and thus I also keep My protective hand over everyone who belongs to Me .... And I will manifestly be with them, for they will be in utmost adversity and I will come to help them in their need.

And then it will be clear what strength of faith can achieve .... For anyone who merely seeks My proximity will receive the evidence of My presence and his faith will constantly grow stronger. The time of the event will not keep you waiting long, even if a thousand years are like a day before Me. However, I have told you that you will live to see it .... And that means that a large proportion of those who accept My Word will experience it themselves .... that I will still make great demands on them, for then the time of activity will have come when you shall still be diligent labourers for Me and then I will not remove you from earth until you have fulfilled your task .... This applies to all of you who work for Me and My kingdom. For time and again I keep telling you that I don't have many labourers in My vineyard and that I will therefore protect everyone who places himself at My disposal. From this alone you can conclude that it won't be long until this disaster, which will be inconceivable for you, both its magnitude as well as the suffering and misery it will signify for the survivors. Consequently I must equip those people with much strength so that they will be My supporters during this time of sorrow. And I will also give you strength, since you are very weak by nature, because I will need you during this time and will use every conceivable means in order to increase the number of My Own, in order to grant them firm faith as to influence those who still lack faith in a God and Creator, to Whom all power is given in Heaven and on Earth and Who thus can also extend the life of those who want to help them gain faith .... And remember that the end of a period of salvation has come, that this time need only be exceptionally used and that I will therefore also use exceptional means in order to merely fan a tiny spark of faith in a person before he has to relinquish his life. For once he has this small spark it will also ensure his ascent in the spiritual kingdom. But to depart entirely without faith from earth is a hopeless state and will end with renewed banishment, because the gates of the beyond will close the moment the old earth is dissolved. For this reason I will leave no stone unturned at the end in order to persuade people to change their will, and because My gentle voice within is ignored by them I will speak louder, so loud that they must hear this voice .... But whether they will recognise Me Myself by that is still left up to them, nevertheless, it seals their future fate. Even so, you, who are of service to Me, are assured of My protection and blessing in spiritual and earthly adversity, for I Am in need of you .... So even if you approach difficult times you are nevertheless looked after by Me and need not fear anything ....

Amen

The infinite Love accomplished the act of Salvation ....

B.D. 9001 from June 24th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Always remember that earthly life is the final stage of your perfection which you can successfully conclude by merely handing yourselves over to the One Who died for you on the cross. His act of Salvation released you from all guilt providing you accept it voluntarily. It is therefore of extreme significance for you that you will find Him during your life on earth, as He will open the gates again for your return into your Father's house. This is why Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation cannot be mentioned often enough, and if you have the slightest sense of responsibility you will not carelessly pass Him by. You will know that He can liberate every one of you from the adversary's control, and you will indeed do what is required in order to appeal for His forgiveness, you will abide by Him and secure His love, Which took your guilt of sin upon Itself and now makes a constant effort to draw you closer to Itself .... This love does not want to abandon you and does whatever it takes so that you will surrender. The fact that a supreme being of light offered Itself to suffer and die as a human being on your behalf in order to redeem your immense original sin was the greatest act of mercy, for the 'human being Jesus', Who was no differently fashioned than yourselves, had to endure this suffering and death .... Yet He was permeated by love .... the fundamental substance of God. ... Which gave Him strength to persevere until the end. Thus love accomplished the act, and this love was God Himself .... Consequently, God Himself redeemed your guilt of sin; His love was so great that It did not want to leave you to the adversary, It took pity upon you and paid the purchase price for your souls to His adversary. And you should make use of this incredible grace, for it merely requires your free will to accept it. Your life on earth was given to you so that you will take notice of Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, in Whom God embodied Himself .... so that you will surrender to Him of your own free will, so that you will unearth the treasure of grace He acquired for you on the cross. For God could only let mercy prevail, otherwise you would never have become free of guilt, but He requires you to accept and utilise it voluntarily.

For the infinite Love of Jesus the man balanced the sin you committed, It atoned for it and satisfied God's justice, and now It also turns to you and offers Itself to you .... so that you will respond to It and provide God with the opportunity again to illuminate you as He did in the beginning .... Those of you who do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world have no idea what gift of grace you are missing, you have no idea who is in control of you and that you can release yourselves from this power .... However, you are not forced to acknowledge Jesus Christ, just as you cannot be forced by your adversary if you want to liberate yourselves from him .... It depends entirely on your will to turn to Him, but in that case He will be able to change your state into inconceivable happiness. Then you will fulfil your purpose of earthly life which solely consists of your attaining perfection, which only He can grant to you .... And in order that all of you can be informed of Jesus Christ and His significant mission I will also convey this knowledge to those who are still utterly blind in spirit, who need only receive the relevant information so that they, too, will accept Jesus Christ. Then I will let miracles happen, since people in their childlike faith need such miracles of healing which testify to the power of the name Jesus .... whereas people in countries where this knowledge already exists but who nevertheless reject Jesus would be forced to believe, but this cannot be rated as true faith .... And this explains the miracle healings, where messengers are also awakened in order to bring the Gospel to places where people still lack all spiritual knowledge but who shall not go astray either. Therefore they shall be addressed by the messengers who, in profound faith, make contact with Him and are thus capable of conveying the knowledge about Jesus Christ to those people, and Whom He therefore furnishes with great strength to work in His name. For the knowledge shall be carried to all places so that everyone who avails himself of this immense grace and finds Jesus Christ, Who alone can save him from profound spiritual adversity, can still become blessed ....

Amen

Why constantly New Revelations? ....

B.D. 9002 from June 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If the Word of God cannot be protected from being changed because human will is free and translations were not always handled by spiritually awakened people, who thus were also able to err, you can understand that this is the reason for New Revelations which time after time had to correct the distortions, so that the Word of God would be able to lay claim to the pure truth .... Exposing such misguided teachings would have been impossible without such New Revelations, especially if people relied on the fact that I Myself protect My Word from all changes .... However, it must also be understandable to you that the human being's free will makes this impossible for Me since I will never inhibit it, even if it concerns the pure truth .... for I also gave the human being the assurance that he is guaranteed to live in truth if he desires it himself.

And thus you can never rely on the fact that you will receive unchanged spiritual knowledge if the 'Word of God' is preached to you, but you have the assurance that you will receive the truth if only you desire it .... Then the preacher .... even if he is spiritually unawakened .... will be guided in his sermon, so that he often will not say what he had intended to say but that his words will be given to him by Me .... precisely because a person seriously requests to be instructed in the truth. If the wish only to learn the truth arose in many people then the preachers soon would also recognise the error and they would try to listen more to their inner voice which is instructing them otherwise. Yet all people have the option to recognise what is wrong in My 'supposed Word', for love enlightens their spirit and only ever accepts the correct and unadulterated information. The person will no longer be able to think wrongly once he is illuminated by the inner light of love. And only then will he notice where error has crept in, where the adversary was able to take effect because people were lacking the light of love. Then he will also know that the human being cannot solve problems with his intellect alone if the spirit within him is not supporting him. Then he will know why the necessity for corrections arises time and again, which I constantly send to humanity again in the form of New Revelations ....

And I will continue to reveal Myself to people who love Me and keep My commandments, as I have promised .... For one misguided thought results in many more, until finally just a distorted image remains of Me, which reflects everything but a good and exceedingly loving God, Who wants to be a Father to you all .... And since you have already accepted so many misguided spiritual values, a God of Love is strange to you, you are still distant from Him, you do not recognise Him as your Father and therefore do not strive towards Him either. And whatever you hear from Him is likely to separate yourselves from Him even more .... I, however, want to gain your love and therefore make use of every opportunity to speak to you, if not directly then through people who allow My spirit to work in them, who either convey My direct Word to you or who think correctly and are also able to instruct you truthfully. For it is extremely important that you can be guided into correct thinking, that you know what you can accept and what you ought to reject .... But don't believe that your correct thinking is guaranteed if you gather your knowledge from the Book of Books, since I do not coerce the human being's will I cannot prevent him from interpreting the spiritual information from this book according to either his own preferences or to his imperfect understanding. For every Word I have spoken conceals a spiritual meaning, and only the human being's spirit is able to recognise it, which will be awakened to life through love but then will also guide the human being into every truth, as I have promised ....

Amen

Spiritual knowledge must concur with the transmitted Word from above .... I.

B.D. 9003 from June 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is not easy for someone knowing the truth to pass it on to people who are so convinced of the truth of their own advocated spiritual knowledge that they reject everything else. And yet, this attempt must be made, for that which comes forth from Me directly is so powerful that it will convince every seeker of truth .... And time and again it concerns the fact that beings of various degrees of light express themselves, making it difficult for a person to recognise the truth because they believe every expression from the spiritual kingdom which nevertheless should be scrutinised .... Only if the content corresponds to My Word from above can you accept it as the activity of flawless spirits of light ....

For this reason you must always pay attention to My directly conveyed Word and should not believe all messages from the spiritual realm which are given to you psychically, for these mediums may well have the gift of receiving communications from the spiritual kingdom but whether they also have the necessary maturity, which is the prerequisite I demand for receiving messages from this kingdom, is the only decisive factor for the degree of truth of the conveyed proclamations. You humans have too little knowledge of the spiritual kingdom and don't know how often you are affected by the adversary in order to deceive you .... and I cannot stop him because you lack the desire for truth which is the guarantee for receiving the truth in the first place, but then it will also concur with My Word from above. I certainly use every means to make sure that a light will shine for people, that they receive the information about life after their physical death .... I make sure that they will also receive the evidence, even though it will only be accepted again by that person who would like to know this as a result of his desire for truth. Yet even then the risk still exists that beings other than those having been called upon will express themselves in line with their degree of maturity. This is why every spirit of light will warn you humans against psychic communications which are given to you in a state of trance; instead, they will always encourage your conscious reception of spiritual messages, which will indeed only be achieved by a few people but it always offers the certainty of being taught by My spirit directly, in which case you need not be afraid of receiving something wrong. Admittedly, not every communication given in this passive state can be described as wrong or deceptive, but which one of you can verify this? Which one of you is aware of the fact that this opportunity .... of a person depriving himself of his will .... is not used by many an evil spirit? And that the absolute truth cannot be guaranteed if you only rely on messages which may well come from the kingdom of the beyond but which are nevertheless unverifiable?

Only that which is conveyed to you by the 'spirit of God' is pure truth, but it will provide you with an explanation about all subjects, which you can never receive from those beings. This is why every spirit of light will encourage you to prepare yourselves such that you can become a vessel into which 'My spirit can flow' .... And only then will you be sure of possessing the pure truth .... Only then will it be possible to convey far more profound knowledge to you .... the knowledge of all correlations, of the reasons for your human existence, of your past apostasy from Me and the immense significance of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... For only I Myself can instruct you of this even if I send this knowledge to earth by way of elevated messengers of light which are illuminated by Me directly and thus they voice My Word, which can be valued in the same way as if I had addressed you directly .... This knowledge includes everything; it includes the work of returning the once fallen spirits to Me just as it highlights the counter activity of the one who caused your fall into the abyss. And this counter activity does not just happen on earth, it also covers the kingdom of the beyond, where all self-aware beings are still in possession of free will, and to make these inclined to turn towards him is and always will remain his intention. Hence you must also take his influence into account, the most important of which is to raise doubts about Jesus Christ's act of Salvation. And therefore you all must recognise that those announcements which deny salvation through Jesus' crucifixion are his activity .... Then you will know that he is at work, that he tries to dissuade people from what is of greatest significance: that Jesus died on the cross for you and your sins. If you are wrongly instructed of this he will have won you over, he will have succeeded in portraying the 'Salvation through Jesus Christ' as wrong and thereby it will be impossible for you to enter the kingdom of light. For My direct revelations from above provide you with a different explanation, and your future bliss solely depends on whether you have found redemption from your past guilt of sin .... the original sin, which is unredeemable by you yourselves. As long as this vital question remains unanswered you will not have been instructed of the absolute truth and will have no other option but to turn to the highest Authority so that It may teach you directly, and then you can be taught in all truthfulness, as I Myself have promised that I 'will guide you into all truth' ....

Amen

Spiritual knowledge must concur with the Word conveyed from above .... II.

B.D. 9004 from June 29th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

(Continuation of B.D. 9003)

Only that which I Myself convey to you from above can be regarded as pure truth .... Therefore everything that claims to be true must concur with it. There is only one truth and this comes forth from Me Myself and will give pleasure to all those who want to think correctly. However, anything that contradicts My directly received Word cannot be advocated as 'truth', for the guidelines are always the same and can be used as a yardstick as to whether a person knows the truth. So if you humans have reason to doubt the information you receive you must always first ask yourselves the question: What is the attitude of people, who advocate this knowledge, towards Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation? What the act of Salvation means for the whole of humanity has been clearly explained to you from above, hence you must evaluate all other knowledge in relation to that, for as soon as it contains no information about this at all, it cannot demand to be regarded as pure truth. And in order to understand the reasons and significance of the act of Salvation you must also receive the knowledge about the original fall of the spirits, because you yourselves are these fallen spirits .... Wanting to convince people of life after death is all very well, but if you don't inform people about the reason for their human existence, the knowledge about life after death is not sufficient in order to let them attain beatitude one day .... For without the redemption through Jesus Christ the kingdom of light cannot be opened for you and you will wander about in the beyond for eternities if the souls of light over there were not to take pity on you and provide you with the knowledge you had rejected on earth because you were thinking wrongly. And thus it follows that every person has to shape himself into a vessel for the divine flow of spirit, which he can only achieve through love, which will subsequently brightly enlighten him from within and give him the right knowledge. But since this is almost impossible at a time of heartlessness, people should gather around a vessel from which the bright and clear water of life flows forth, they shall stoop down and refresh themselves in order to be at least able to receive what is most important .... the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation.

This knowledge is necessary and cannot be replaced by anything else, since only One exists Who can bring people forgiveness for their original sin, but Who will then also remove all guilt the person had incurred during his life on earth. For the fact that Jesus, the man, sacrificed Himself and paid for the guilt through His crucifixion was a unique mission. Time and again you humans must be informed of this, you cannot describe Jesus life on earth merely as a life of supreme perfection, which it undoubtedly was, but nevertheless not know about the profound spiritual reason for His crucifixion, which was unique and accomplished for all human beings past, present and future. Only the acknowledgment of His act of Salvation as an act of supreme mercy for the spiritual beings and the appeal for forgiveness are the key to the gate into the kingdom of light, which you will never be able to unlock without Him .... for He atoned for the sin, which consisted of rejecting the divine strength of love, out of love for God and His fallen brothers .... And this sin cannot be forgiven in any other way than through acknowledging Jesus as the Redeemer of the world, this is why a life of love as preached by Him will produce the prerequisite of acknowledging Him, but the blessings of His act of Salvation must be knowingly accepted in order to be released from the original sin. The knowledge of this must be repeatedly imparted to you humans, time and again you must be informed of the fact that it is not enough to adopt His doctrine, instead, you must consciously desire to be redeemed from your original sin, for which a life lived in love will indeed help you, since the success of a life of love rests in the fact that the light of realisation will shine in you .... However, in that case you will no longer deny the redemption through Jesus Christ, you will know that you have found a Saviour in Him, Who has relieved you of the immense burden of the original sin and Who will also open the gate into the kingdom of light and bliss for you again ....

Amen

What would have happened if Adam had not failed? ....

B.D. 9005 from July 1st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Every spiritual question you ask Me will be answered by Me. But first of all you ought to know that it was not My will that you should experience such an extremely difficult earthly life. The time you spent with a constrained will .... in the law of compulsion .... would truly have sufficed Me, for this time was so appallingly long that it should have been enough for you to unite with Me again .... but I had to demand the last test of will of you as self-aware beings .... as human beings. You were only meant to give yourselves to Me voluntarily, and thereby you would have cancelled the immense sin of the past apostasy from Me .... You were meant to prove your love for Me, since you had previously resisted My illumination of love ....

For this reason the first human beings were created well, they were devoted to Me in love, for I had provided them with everything, I gave the earth to them as their own, I subordinated everything to them, they recognised Me as their God and Creator .... they were surrounded by magnificent works of My creative power .... they could take pleasure in them .... everything was only done so that they could sing their praises and give thanks to Me .... so that they could offer Me burning love, and they themselves harboured no evil thoughts either .... Yet I also had to endow the first people with free will, since they had emerged from Me as original spirits, which are unthinkable without free will. And since they had once turned away from Me and voluntarily followed My adversary into the abyss, he had the same right to influence the first people, because they had to use their will to make the decision again whether to follow Me or him .... And they failed this test of will, which they could have passed easily, and thereby they reawakened all evil instincts which they had already overcome before their embodiment as human beings .... After that, the first parents passed their characteristics on to the following generations and it became ever more difficult for them to free themselves from the adversary's bondage.

However, if the first people had passed their test of will, which would not have been too difficult, I would have been satisfied with the infinitely long path they had travelled beforehand .... Successive human beings would have equally voluntarily given their love to Me, and then they would have lived on earth simply to take pleasure in its creations .... They would only have exerted a good influence on all creations so that they, too, could embody themselves as human beings. Earthly life would then have been a preliminary stage of eternal life, the opponent's power would have been broken, because the first human beings would have given themselves to Me entirely consciously and thereby would have excluded the adversary completely, who then could no longer use his power and soon would have given himself to My love as well .... Thus, the first people were only required to voluntarily accept My illumination again and the original sin would have been abolished, for only love was able to atone for this sin .... But then the sin was repeated .... and what previously had only applied to the constrained spiritual world in the creation now befell all of humanity ....

What the first people could have achieved with ease had they orientated their will correctly now became infinitely difficult because all satanic attributes became entrenched in people and required immense strength to fight, which could no longer be mustered by people's will. Hence the act of Salvation by Jesus Christ, the spirit of light, became necessary, Who volunteered when He realised that the first people had failed, Who offered, voluntarily .... due to love .... to suffer and die on the cross in order to atone this now twice committed sin. I certainly knew from the start that this second fall into sin would take place but I did not want people to take such a painful path yet I could not enslave people's will either. And since I know that I will regain all beings again one day .... since a thousand years are but a day for Me .... since it concerns eternal life in beatitude .... what you will also recognise one day .... you need not doubt that one day you will be free from those agonies, but then you, in utmost perfection, will also enjoy the glories which will make up for all past suffering and which cannot be compared to earthly concepts.

You should always know that I did not determine the unspeakable suffering which people thus caused for themselves since the fall into sin by the first human beings, that I truly gave the first human couple (the first human beings) every opportunity to make his/their free decision of will an easy one .... that I only gave him/them an easy commandment which he/they could have fulfilled .... if his/their love had been strong enough to decide to give himself/themselves to Me .... but that this heartfelt love would then also have seized all successive people so that they, too, would have been able to resist My adversary's every temptation. But the second fall happened and burdened all following people again until the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ descended to earth in order to openly fight My adversary. For he misused his power by driving people into ever further heartlessness, weakening their will consistently, so that they were no longer able to liberate themselves without the act of Salvation but descended ever deeper into darkness. And I put a limit to this activity Myself .... I sent My Son to earth to save the people who wanted to be saved.

For, again, free will has to be willing to accept the blessings of the act of Salvation, because even this rescue mission cannot be done in opposition to people's will .... At first, passing through the earthly creations should have sufficed as the only test of will for the human being, since the agony in the state of compulsion had already matured every soul enough that it could easily have resisted the temptations, but the fall of the first people gave the opponent renewed power over all souls which he exploited in a frightening manner. It was precisely for this reason why an original spirit was chosen as the first human being, who possessed all the necessary qualities to resist the adversary, but his decision could not be forced. His thoughts and actions had to remain completely independent, but then My adversary took care to turn this will towards himself which thus resulted in the new fall, whereby the sin of the spirits' apostasy from Me was repeated. Yet this right could not be denied to My adversary, because the past fall occurred in free will and they followed him into the abyss ....

Thus you cannot say that I wanted the repeated fall in order to put you into a state of immense suffering again, however, I could not prevent it, because it also took place in free will and one day this free will shall surely choose Me again. You are certain to emerge from this pitiful state eventually, because My love Itself had redeemed you when it embodied Itself in the man Jesus in order to fight your enemy and to take all souls which want to return to Me into their Father's house, into their true home, which they once left voluntarily. For My love belongs to you as before and all suffering will have come to an end as soon as you want to be free from the one who still keeps you in bondage, as soon as you long for Me again and thus give Me the right to take possession of you once more in order to never let go of you again ....

Amen

Why do we have to do penance for Adam's sin? ....

B.D. 9006 from July 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All your questions will come to nothing as soon as you are offered the pure truth, for this is so easy to understand as long as it is offered to you in the right way. You know that the apostasy from Me took place in a state of brightest realisation. Consequently, all beings were equally responsible for falling away from Me, they could not have been forced by the adversary's will to revolt against Me, instead the 'rejection of My strength of love' was every being's own affair .... Free will made them become sinful which, at the time of the apostasy, had not been subject to My adversary .... because they had the right of self-determination .... it was still able to make a free decision and thus consciously chose the adversary. But now the latter had control over his followers, and this control was taken away from him by Me by letting Creation arise in order to induce the strength which, through the apostasy, had become incapable of any kind of activity, to become active again in different ways .... Thus, the adversary gained nothing from his followers and was only allowed to exercise his power again once the being had regained it self-awareness in the stage as a human being. And I had to leave him this right, on account of which he was then able to tempt these beings. And so he did with all manner of cunning and trickery, he understood how to deprive the first human being of his faith in My Word again which promised them eternal life if they followed My easy commandment. In this human being, Adam, an extremely strong spirit was embodied, whose fall was easily achieved yet again by the adversary .... So was it not obvious that no spirit would have been able to resist him who became subject to the same artful temptations by My adversary? It is not about the fact that the descendants had to do penance for the first human beings' sin, but it is about the fact that I .... had the first human being resisted these temptations for love of Me .... would, for the sake of compassion, have done the same as Jesus, the human being, did at a later time: that He accomplished the act of atonement for the sake of love .... that I would have been satisfied with the strength of resistance by the one person who handed himself over to Me and should have enabled My illumination again ....

And for his will of love I would have written the guilt off, and the path across earth as a human being would merely have served everyone to kindle the love for Me into brightest fire. Instead, My adversary had proved his power over the first human beings and thus did not surrender the right to subsequently use his artful temptations on every person, which I cannot deny him due to the fact that the beings once voluntarily followed him into the abyss .... Hence you cannot say that these people will now have to do penance for the sins of their ancestors but it has always been up to each person to prove himself during the temptations and he will also receive the strength from Me to do so, for I bless this determination and will never abandon such a person to My adversary. However, the first people could have helped their descendants to have an easier life on earth, but since they failed, it was not possible to protect the latter from the adversary's temptations .... unless they appealed to Me for My protection and then their earthly path was indeed an easier one, which was also the case with those original spirits which were receptive to instructions from the world of light and over whom My adversary no longer had full control. Therefore, the fact that those people always had an easier earthly path, that they did not fall prey to My opponent's enticements, that he did not keep full authority over them, is a sign that I have helped and always will help every soul which starts earthly life less burdened and whose will is already devoted to Me .... that I therefore do not indiscriminately give grace and strength to souls to accomplish their path of return .... However, time and again I have to mention that the first human beings made the whole path of return more difficult because of their failure, it would have been far easier to navigate had the strongest, once fallen spirit resisted and followed My easy commandment, had he believed more in My Words which promised him eternal life .... and through his resistance had broken the power, which then would have made it impossible for the adversary to use it on his followers, for this victory would have affected all fallen spiritual beings ....

Jesus' forerunner ....

B.D. 9007 from July 3rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The fact that so many people believe that they are an incarnation of the voice in the wilderness is also a sign of spiritual confusion, for it is certain that he will be a great speaker but until his appearance he will not know what task was assigned to him and that he will speak with a powerful voice in order to announce Me and My imminent arrival at the end of the days .... Once again he will precede Me and be met with hostility by all those who don't want to hear anything about the end, who will ridicule and mock him because the things he proclaims seem incredible to them, and thus he will be regarded as a fantasist. And he will come at the same time as the Antichrist incites the eruption of the battle of faith. Then he will fiercely criticise him and My Own will turn to him for strength and comfort, for he will only be active for a short time on earth. Yet he will make good use of this time in order to convey My Word to all who accept it, and My opponents will trail him intending to call him to account, but time and again he will evade them until his hour has come when he will sacrifice his life for Me again ....

And you were told several times already that he himself has no idea about his mission and that it will dawn on him so suddenly that he can be recognised by everyone .... And then he will know why he was granted such a powerful voice, why he must announce Me, for then he will know that the end has come when I will appear in the clouds in order to fetch My Own .... Then the Antichrist will try everything in order to capture him, for he particularly condemns the Antichrist and discloses his every misdeed, denouncing him publicly without hesitation, and thus he will be persecuted by the Antichrist's followers ....

Yet he will comfort those who have to suffer under his rule. He will draw their attention to My coming and everyone will believe him because My Word makes them feel as if I have spoken to them Myself .... His words will have a soothing effect on you, who fearfully and anxiously await the things to come .... you will draw fresh strength from his words and time and again feel invigorated by them because he demonstrates that your Father has spoken to you Himself and that you thus can believe My Words which refer you to My imminent coming in the clouds. And thus you will also observe all warnings and admonitions from him, for he will also be in spirit with those whom I make known to him as belonging to Me .... He will have the ability to be close to you even if his body is elsewhere, for I will pass on your heartfelt call to Me for help, and he will be willing to help. That is why I say: You will recognise him when he begins his mission, but don't expect him quite yet, for My intervention has to take place before his appearance .... But then time will fly, because for the sake of My Own I will shorten the days so that My adversary will not succeed in making them fall, for there will be severe adversity and thus I will also send you powerful spirits of light to protect you in every earthly and spiritual crisis. Yet when this voice of Mine in the wilderness has to sacrifice his life you can expect My coming every day, then I will come and take you into a kingdom of peace and all tribulation will have come to an end ....

Amen

The end will come for certain ....

B.D. 9008 from July 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Every large disaster will also be preceded by My announcements, I will warn and admonish people, therefore I need seers and prophets who shall spread these announcements among people .... Therefore it is wrong to reject all prophesies or to portray them as being untrue, even if they do not immediately come to pass, for everything will happen at the right time, and often I have announced the coming event long in advance, but no-one granted these Words any credence. And therefore I also announce and always have announced the end of an earth period in advance, so that even My disciples expected this end during their lifetime on earth. Nevertheless, I have always worded My prophesies such that no specific time was given to people, that they in fact could always expect it, because it has indeed always been My intention to bring their near end home to them .... Yet time does not stand still, and since My Word will inevitably come true this announced end will certainly have to happen one day .... Anyone who knows My eternal plan of Salvation also recognises the necessity for an end of all spiritual substances still bound in creations .... For since he is aware of the spirits' constant progression of development, it is also clear to him that from time to time .... which is infinitely long for you .... a total transformation of the earth's surface must take place so that the spiritual substance bound in hard matter may also have the opportunity to develop further .... If people find such a huge destruction of the earth's surface questionable then they have been left in ignorance by the world of spirits who instructed them .... In that case I must correct such errors, for it is precisely the forthcoming end of the earth in its present form that is extremely significant for the whole of the human race, after all, it is in danger of entirely failing its final test of will and will have to endure a dreadful fate again.

For this reason My servants are instructed to announce this end, but not only to report the fact of the end, instead, I substantiate everything too, so that people shall not only believe blindly and be able to receive as well as to give a correct and truthful explanation for everything. My love belongs to all fallen spirits, not only to the human being .... And the hour of freedom from the hardest constraint must, sooner or later, also come, especially for the spiritual substance still bound in matter, which has already languished for an infinitely long time, in order to be placed into a lighter form in which its being of service will be easier .... And if you humans have knowledge of anything, if the Father Himself instructs you from above, then you truly need not doubt, you can accept everything as purest truth, even if I still prolong the time before this act of destruction of the old earth .... Nevertheless, the day will come without fail .... Sadly, there are far too many people who do not believe in a total transformation of the earth's surface, who grant credence to accounts of people or also spiritual beings who lack all knowledge of My plan of Salvation. Yet I cannot do more than speak to you humans from above and explain what motivates My reign and activity and must leave it up to you as to how you regard My Word. Even so, it is not easy for My servants on earth that people will accept this Word as 'My Word', especially when it concerns the correction of errors, when every person believes that they know the truth and 'My Word' means no more to him than a human word or words from the spirit world .... which is unverifiable until I Myself Am called upon for support so that you will truly only be instructed by beings of light through which the outpouring of My spirit can flow .... In that case, however, all results will correspond; you will feel the truth .... providing you seriously desire the truth ....

Amen

The human being’s true home ....

B.D. 9009 from July 6th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Do not be offended if My Word is also rejected as incorrect, because pure truth can only emanate from Me Myself. And that you are taught by Me Myself can be easily established as soon as people of good will have scrutinised the spiritual information they received from you. Although it is not possible to provide any evidence because people are completely unfamiliar with the spiritual information which, for reasons of religious liberty, cannot be reinforced by proof but everyone of goodwill can feel the certainty within himself to be on the right path. Thus he is also able to believe without proof, and yet he will know that what he believes is right .... However, this world and the spiritual kingdom are two entirely different realms which are only connected to each other through faith. Nevertheless, when you receive the kind of knowledge from the spiritual kingdom which cannot be gained intellectually, you humans can accept it without hesitation as a sign of the reality of this realm, because regions are made accessible to you which only I Myself can truthfully explain to you ....

Hence it is not a sign of a keen intellect if a person wants to deny this kingdom just because he himself does not know anything about it. But every human being could acquire this evidence of a spiritual world if he would ask Me for it, although he is usually prevented from doing so by his intellect which only wants to know what can be verified. And therefore he cannot go beyond the boundaries of his intellect, he creates his own limitations, namely by his unbelief which prevents him to think about anything beyond the earthly realm, to seriously think about problems which cannot be solved, in order to then ask the Creator Himself for an explanation. However, because he has to believe in a Creator in order to do this, only the devout person will be able to establish contact with Him, and the unbeliever will remain content with the world he can see and which is the real world to him. Yet consider the results a person could gain were he, apart from his keen intellect, also deeply devout, who would turn to Me with every question which I would duly answer .... But there are only a few of them, most people shun such contact with the spiritual kingdom since their fellow human beings would then regard them as supernatural people who do not fit into the structure of the earthly world.

And yet, if only you knew how beneficial the work of such people can be, how important the knowledge is which they receive from above, you would do anything to benefit from their knowledge since it is the path that leads you humans from the earthly into the spiritual kingdom .... which is every person’s true home and which one day will receive you all, irrespective of whether you are fully mature or not. I Myself offer you an incredible blessing by speaking to you in order to unite these two realms, in order to give all people the opportunity to take the step from the earthly into the spiritual kingdom, and you reject this blessing because your intellect opposes it, because you do not want to let your heart speak .... However, your heart cannot speak to you because you lack love .... For this reason you are constantly reminded to love, because only your love for Me and your fellow human being can soften your heart and you become more willing to listen to Me. I only ever just ask for your love in order to then give you knowledge which would surpass your intellect, which would make you truly happy. Because taking a glimpse into spheres which are otherwise closed to mortals will please every person and provide him with the tranquil joy of a knower who no longer walks in darkness but to whom everything has become light and clear ....

And especially the fact that people are able to elevate their thoughts into previously unknown spheres should convince you of the truth of such knowledge. Hence you should acquire this knowledge for yourselves, always remembering that you yourselves will inhabit this kingdom one day, that you are merely temporarily living on earth and sooner or later will enter your true home. Then you will establish the relationship with Me again, Who followed you into the abyss, Who waited until you, as human beings, were able to consciously unite with Me again, in order to then make you happy once more by giving you the knowledge which previously used to belong to you in great measure .... But then you will not be far from your final homecoming, you will return into your Father’s house which you once left voluntarily ....

Amen

Recognition and admission of guilt ....

B.D. 9010 from July 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is also of crucial importance for you humans that you recognise and profess your guilt in order to become free from it through Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, Who died for it on your behalf on the cross .... For the admission of the fact that you had become guilty must precede the will of allowing yourselves to be redeemed, because then you will consciously strive for returning to your Father's house. Sooner or later you will have to realise that you once sinned against God Himself and then also seriously desire to become released from this immense guilt, which forms the basis of your existence as human beings on earth. And if you then consciously carry this guilt under the cross, it will also be forgiven as well as all guilt you accumulated on earth when you were still without knowledge of the divine Redeemer's significance for the human race. However, a mere avowal with your mouth is not enough, mere conventional faith in Him is not sufficient, you must be completely conscious of what Jesus, the human being, had done for you, that He suffered and died on your behalf, on behalf of your guilt of sin, in order to offer the sacrifice of atonement to God, without which you would have been unable to enter the kingdom of light. Only then will it be a living faith and this alone is valued by God, your Father of eternity .... For only then will you also recognise your past guilt, and you will admit to your own fault and appeal for forgiveness .... This alone is the task you ought to fulfil on earth but which you will only accomplish when love has taken possession of you, for an entirely heartless person does not entertain such thoughts. He is unable to believe and thus his life is a standstill, he does not live up to the actual purpose of changing himself again into what he had been in the beginning, for he will enter the kingdom of the beyond burdened by his original sin and cannot be released from it until he finds Jesus Christ, Who will certainly approach Him over there but He will leave it up to his freedom of will as to whether or not he will accept Him ....

For this reason you are constantly given a light in regards to this, yet only rarely can open hearts and ears be found which are grateful for this light, the majority of people are unaware of any wrongdoing, they don't investigate the reason for their existence and live their lives indifferently, only desiring that which pleases their earthly body. They neither think deeply nor do they live a life of love of their own accord, otherwise they would gradually come to the right realisation .... And time flies .... It is getting ever shorter, for the end is close at hand .... God Himself can only make a small and disappearing proportion aware of the significance of the act of Salvation, for it is precisely the act of Salvation which is disputed almost everywhere in the world, and even where it is emphasised it is merely a matter of conventional faith which leaves much to be desired, where a redemption through Him is indeed spoken of but barely being made use of by consciously realising and confessing guilt, but only this can result in redemption. People don't know that they need to use their own will, they think that they need only profess with their mouth in order to receive forgiveness of sin, but this cannot be valued by God .... instead, the human being must completely consciously and of his own free will hand himself over to the divine Redeemer .... Only then can the act of Salvation take effect on him. However, as long people only accept the information with their ears without involvement of their heart, they cannot count on the redemption of their original sin. Consequently, the work of those who try to exert a living influence on their fellow human beings, by mainly admonishing them to love in order to enable their understanding of the great act of Salvation, will always be blessed. And all those capable of a living faith will be redeemed from their guilt, for love gives light which will shine ever more brightly because they had found redemption from their immense guilt. Yet all people must be clear of the fact that there is no path to God without Jesus Christ, since only One was able to redeem this immense guilt but He also wants to be consciously called upon for forgiveness in order to distribute unlimited bliss, for God and Jesus Christ are one .... The great secret precisely rests in the fact that you acknowledge God again in Jesus Christ, Whom you once denied your acknowledgment and thereby fell into the abyss .... This was your immense sin which made you guilty and which Jesus Christ redeemed for you ....

Amen

The resistance reduces the power of love radiation ....

B.D. 9011 from July 8th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Not the slightest resistance is allowed to oppose My illumination of love, otherwise it cannot become effective with you. And so you will also understand that you must give yourselves to Me completely free, because all compulsion switches off, and that is why therefore first your will is, which must bend to Me, but then I can take possession of you, and I truly no longer let you from Me. It is about your will, but about which also My opponent fights with all cunning and deceit. But you will always recognize him because he only lures you with earthly goods, because he will bring no spiritual goods to you, which you can only receive from Me. When such thoughts now surround you, which always only bind you to the earthly world, then you are in his power. But if you devote yourselves to thoughts which obviously have Me Myself as source, and if you follow these, then you will be led away from the earthly world, because I want that you connect yourselves with Me exactly through good thoughts or an intimate prayer, to now be able to draw yourselves to Me, to give you what is food for your soul, that it receives what it needs to mature. Then you will truly receive food and drink, for this is My illumination of love, which is certain for you if you devote yourselves to Me of your own free will, if you open your heart to Me and want to receive My illumination of love .... But this always requires conscious voluntary devotion to Me .... But then you can no longer get lost, then you return to Me again, where once your start was. Only one thing you must not forget that My love cannot become effective when you yourselves resist it, when you only offer Me the slightest resistance, and resistance it already is when still earthly things entice, when you put Me back for the sake of these and I do not stand in the first place, when you give priority to earthly things and I then no longer find entrance alone in your heart. The world has many dangers in it, which you do not recognize as such, but which always draw man away from spiritual striving. And these dangers he is to avoid, if he wants to belong to Me completely, because I truly give him more beautiful and better, which outweighs all things of the world, but which only I Myself can hand out to the ones who are Mine, to those who belong to Me completely and are prepared to give everything to Me .... And these will also win the victory over all others in the end, for then they will have to pass the greatest test of faith to Me and yet need not be defeated, for I Myself will stand by them in the final battle on this earth .... So much will certainly be demanded of them, and still they need to fear nothing, because likewise much power will be given to them, because they have completely overcome the world, and where then shall the opponent still use his arts of seduction? He can no longer pull them down to the deep because then he would have to fight against Me Myself, but Me he flees and therefore also you, who are Mine. And that is why I always only want that you give Me your will out of the heart, that there is nothing else for you than that you always only stay with Me in thoughts, that My love illumination can become effective and that you unite yourselves intimately with Me. Then I will have won you, then you will have re-entered the original relationship in which you stood in the beginning .... I only want one thing, that you again press towards Me as once, that your hearts open, into which I now can let My love flow again. And in order to achieve this you have to give up everything that connects you with the world, but you are allowed to enjoy what I Myself send to you, just do not lose yourselves to earthly goods, which are always just the means of the adversary who wants to ruin you ....

Amen

The marvel of divine creation ....

B.D. 9012 from July 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Everything that makes itself known to you through creation proves My power, My wisdom and My love .... But only when you think about it will you become aware of what miracles take place around you every day, otherwise you pass by completely indifferent. But countless proofs inform every thoughtful person that a supremely perfect being exists, Which guides and governs everything in love and wisdom, Which takes care of the preservation of that which has emerged from His hand .... And therefore man can recognize Me, and he also has to acknowledge Me as existing, for he cannot deny that creation must have emerged from a power Which rules in supreme wisdom and deepest love, Which gave everything It created a purpose .... But he must also recognize that this creation has come into being for the sake of man alone, and therefore also conclude that man is more than just a being, which only exists for a time, to then again pass away into nothingness. My whole creation would have to give him this knowledge, and he will also get it, as soon as he just once occupies himself thoroughly with it. Then I truly direct his thoughts so that they come close to truth. For this is the real purpose of creation, that man .... who is endowed with intellect and free will .... in thought that everything he sees gives him food for thought .... for it is not for nothing that I gave him the ability to think .... because precisely the direction of thought can also determine the right direction of his will, which alone is decisive for his earthly life as well as for his further fate. Because that man is basically immortal, that he will then also recognize, because he learns to see himself as the centre of the whole creation, which serves him for perfection. For he is the only thinking being which has free will, whereas all creations .... even the animal world .... can neither think nor want, only has a weak adaptation to it as a natural instinct, which the creature is not aware of. And this thinking being is now also to use the intellect to think about it and everything will reveal itself to it as the greatest proof of divine love and wisdom. Because I created the whole world with all visible and invisible creations only for you men that you again can reach perfection. But that you first have to know about it, that alone your will can bring about, because without the will you do not think about it, and the whole work of creation leaves you untouched. And still you are surrounded by so many miracle works, by works, which you are not able to create yourselves, which you would have to recognize as the work of a thinking power, Which Itself has a will, which testifies to love and wisdom. And you go your way of life in indifference there, where you would always only have to praise and extol the creator of that, Who has put you into this world, alone only for the reason that you can complete yourselves again. For you will have to realize that you do not pass through this world in vain, that you .... like all the creations around you have to fulfil a purpose .... also live in this creation for a purpose and that you will only learn about this purpose of earthly life if your will is willing to experience it. Then also enlightenment will reach you, and then your will alone will still be determining whether you reach the aim, which is meaning and purpose of your earth life. But no light can be given to the blindly walking in, because also this My wisdom has well considered, that no man is allowed to be forced to his change of will, that he must decide completely free, but for that reason the miracle work of My creation is again and again put before his eyes, and as soon as he thinks about it, his will can become active of its own accord, and then he will also reach his aim ....

Which messages guarantee the truth ....

B.D. 9013 from July 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Even with My immense love I cannot accept you into My kingdom as long as you still oppose Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, since thereby you close the gate into the kingdom of light yourselves, of which Jesus Christ alone is the gate. By rejecting Him you also reject Me, since He and I are one. Only when you understand that I .... the infinite Spirit of Eternity .... became visible to you in Him will My love be able to make you happy again, for only then will you acknowledge Me in Him, your past sin of apostasy from Me can then be forgiven and you will allow yourselves to be illuminated by My strength of love again as in the beginning .... The fact that you humans lack the understanding for precisely this great act of compassion by Jesus Christ is also an indication of the forthcoming end, for the adversary has done his job well .... He has succeeded in spreading an impenetrable veil particularly across My human manifestation, for he wants to prevent you from becoming redeemed, and therefore the time has come to put an end to his activity.

All over the world spiritual movements become apparent which deviate from the truth, for the adversary also asserts his influence from the beyond over people in order to mislead them. And many people give credence to all these messages because they originate from the spiritual realm .... But the fact that My adversary can even there still exert his influence on beings who spread untruth and try to transfer it to people on earth, and often also take the opportunity to irritate people, is again due to the fact that they do not turn to Me for truthful clarification .... And therefore I can only ever say: Don't believe messages which do not emphasise Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, for they are misguided, even if they contain partial truths .... But especially the redemption through Jesus Christ is of such importance that you can thereby judge the credibility of the received messages, and you should not be content with information which does not completely convince you, precisely because the most important information .... the information which guarantees your entrance into the kingdom of light .... is withheld from you.

But how can you decide what is truth and what is error if you are not instructed by the One Who knows everything and can also truthfully explain it to you? Even the activity from the kingdom of the beyond towards the people of this earth cannot be prevented by Me due to people's free will, but time and again I inform them Myself of the right way to attain the pure truth .... Yet even this working of My spirit in the human being is only the result of the prior redemption through Jesus Christ. And for this reason My adversary exerts great power from the beyond as well, because he repeatedly thwarts this 'redemption' and keeps people in the dark about the true nature of Jesus, because he wants to stop them by every means from finding redemption through Him while they are still on earth, and therefore also influences those beings who have always resented the thought of redemption and who thus also convey misguided teachings to earth. The fact that I, at all times, endeavour to uncover this error through beings of light .... that I repeatedly also transmit the pure truth to people through them, is used by you as an opportunity to merge such truthful explanations with wrong spiritual information. And because you lack the ability to differentiate it is frequently possible for true messages from the kingdom of light to be amongst wrong teachings which, in turn, make the recipient doubt the credibility of all messages.

Yet one thing is a definite characteristic of wrong information: the fact that My human manifestation in Jesus and My act of Salvation is not mentioned or even disputed .... And thereby you can always measure the truth, for a truly spiritually awakened person knows what to make of that, for people are being deliberately mislead, and then the value of the light beings' proclamation is reduced, since they can not prevail because people lack the desire for pure truth .... In that case Jesus Christ's act of Salvation truly would have been comprehensively explained to them, which would also have stopped the adversary's activity .... For the fault rests with the human being himself if he believes all messages from the spiritual realm just because they have originated from there, but doesn't know that the adversary is still able to exercise his power even there and only the will to be protected from error can prevent him from it. Then he will be unable to impart wrong messages, for the desire for pure truth also guarantees its receipt.

And this is what you have to know, then you can confidently believe the Words which are conveyed to you by My spirit, for I Am the Eternal Truth and only pure truth can come forth from Me .... But this is characterised by the element of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, and only those who believe this will never be able to err again, for the Eternal Truth has made Itself available to him, it has revealed Itself to him and guided him into truth as It had been promised to you ....

Amen

Appeals for a gift of strength for the souls of the deceased ....

B.D. 9014 from July 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whenever you can't help but think of a departed person you should know it is always an appeal for help which you should provide since no one else is taking care of them. And when they see your light they, too, would like to gather around you and draw strength from this light, for they often don't know the meaning of this light, especially if they were caught up in error until now. Then it will suffice to send just one thought to the soul inviting it to join you and accept a lesson. For especially the souls which are not followed by loving intercession suffer much hardship and they, too, shall be helped to come into the possession of truth. Just one conscious invitation to take part in your instructions is already enough to attract the souls permanently, with the result that they will not leave you anymore, that they will join the large group of those whom I will then be able to address Myself. And you will be constantly surrounded by souls wanting to increase their knowledge in order to pass it on to those who are less knowledgeable and whom they want to help as well. And then it will be essential that you inform them of My act of Salvation, for only when they have found Him and deliverance from their guilt will they accept profound knowledge. This first necessitates their activity of love, as they will only be able to understand it if they employ their will to love again in order to help souls which are suffering the same hardship. Only then will they themselves penetrate the truth ever more, and they will find it easy to hand themselves over to the divine Redeemer and appeal to Him for forgiveness of their guilt. Then, however, will the divine Word constantly flow to them and they will also accept it, irrespective of where and how it is offered to them. Yet especially the first step is very difficult for the soul until it has experienced the strength of intercession, which will express itself as a change of will and thus it is easier to influence, so that the soul will also comply when it receives its calling.

Therefore pay attention to every such request and offer assistance to the souls which desire help, which indeed remind many people on earth of themselves yet will only find intercession with those who are able to help them spiritually because they are in conscious contact with Me and I Am able to reveal Myself to them. And the fact that the strength of My Word is tremendously effective may be experienced by every soul once it has joined you, for its progress will be guaranteed ....

Once I Am offered the opportunity to reveal Myself to a person through the working of My spirit, this person will stand amid a gleam of light which will attract many souls willing to accept the same as you have been offered, and due to you all souls which you include in your intercession will then no longer be able to go astray. For then you will only be motivated by love for these souls, and for the sake of this love I will also give strength to those on whose behalf you pray. I also have to apply the laws in the beyond and these first and foremost include the being's free will which may not be infringed upon, neither by Myself nor by My adversary.

Therefore it matters that you .... who also have to respect free will, lovingly remember the souls which are still weak-willed but unable to resist the strength of intercession and whose will you are therefore able to influence. Since they were beneficially affected by the strength of love they will no longer resist and be irresistibly drawn to you so that you then will also be able to convey the Gospel of love to them.

If only you knew how ardently your adherents (the souls) accept My Word, how they constantly feel that they are progressing, and how grateful they are to you that you, due to your intercession, helped them to participate in your instructions, you would not stop praying for such souls and even be pleased with their progress, for they, too, will protect you whenever possible, to prevent the receiving of the Word being interrupted .... you will also purify your surroundings, so that no one will become subject to the adversary's temptations as soon as they surround you. Precisely this makes your activity so important, since it enables you to contribute towards the redemption of many souls by offering them bread and wine, thus the delectable elixir of life and the most effective nourishment, and one day you will feel the inner joy of having been able to contribute towards the ascent of those who, without your help, would still have languished in darkness for a very long time ....

Therefore take notice of every thought which reminds you of someone deceased, consider it a call for help which you must not reject, and then consciously call him close to you and the first step up will have been taken, for as soon as a person intercedes on behalf of such a soul, I will also be able to grant strength to the soul for the sake of this person .... which otherwise would not be possible for Me since it contradicts the law of eternity, as only free will can request strength, but which I now recognise in the loving intercession and thus grant My mercy to this soul and then will also be able to provide it with the grace of My Word through you.

People would be able to redeem all souls through loving intercession, but how few are aware of this and how great is therefore My adversary's power who will try anything to disrupt such contacts from the spiritual world to earth, but who will be unable to take effect if a human being hands himself over to Me with love and thus I will also protect him .... especially if I want to speak through him to the souls in the beyond, which My adversary will never be able to prevent Me from doing .... For where the will for redemption exists people will be delivered from the one who had held them captive long enough and whose only weapon is love which will defeat him and from which he takes flight .... because it is and will remain My share for eternity ....

Amen

Pre-Adamites ....

B.D. 9015 from July 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Long before the first human beings lived on earth, who were equipped by God with free will and intellect, human-like living creations whose task it was to make the earth habitable for the succeeding human race already existed. They did their work instinctively, i.e. driven by natural law .... in order to sustain themselves, they gathered fruit, harvested field products and built dwellings for themselves .... they did everything which instinctively was of benefit to them.

Yet they could not be held accountable for their actions, for they were not yet embodied by a soul which contained all the minute particles of a fallen original spirit. These beings were already very much like human beings, they had the same bodily form, yet they were neither self-aware nor able to communicate with each other, only their desire for self-preservation was strong and they often lived to a great age. In a manner of speaking they were of service to creation by contributing towards changing the earth's surface which became ever better prepared as a suitable abode for the needs of human beings. However, these beings were not yet given a task, they merely served the still imperfect original spirits as a final opportunity to mature, which they then were to continue as a human being with free will and intellect.

Hence these prehistoric people .... the Pre-Adamites .... could not be considered real 'human beings', for their nature, their appearance and their every activity was more in line with an animal, which is still far behind in its development, only the form was similar to a human being. This is why later people named these living creations prehistoric-man, but which could not be compared to the human being in possession of free will and awareness, which he was also meant to use intellectually in the right manner. Nor can it be said that the human being evolved from this Pre-Adamite, since the human being was a new creation which God only externalised after many of the first original spirits awaited their embodiment. The prehistoric being was one of many creations which all had to serve their purpose of preparing an abode for the later appearing human being that would guarantee him a carefree earthly life. The Pre-Adamites were those human-like beings which could not be held responsible because they lived instinctively, like animals .... who lived on earth long before human beings .... who were not self-aware and could only live in groups .... who thus could only be found where human beings would later settle, for whom they prepared the specific area with their consistent activity. This was the beings' innate characteristic and expressed itself by cultivating large areas of fields, by systematically sowing essential substances and by harvesting such stretches of land .... They did this entirely unconsciously, resulting from a natural instinct of self-preservation .... They fought each other and the stronger won. And thus they also contributed to the fact that constantly new spiritual beings incarnated themselves, if only for a brief period of time, to prove their strength, when more or less strong impulses asserted themselves which gradually weakened the longer they lived and then also slowly attained the maturity which enabled them to enter their final embodiment as a human being.

Thus human-like beings had already existed long before the first human beings, but they cannot in any way be related to the real human beings. They were comparable to them in their external shape but they existed like animals .... in their instincts as well as in their manner of procreation, which evolved in line with their soul-substances, and were one of the many works of creations which disappeared again after they had completed their earthly task, thus the beings no longer required such creations, and they subsequently became extinct like so many creations which earth had sheltered for a while in order to make place for new creations ....

But it cannot be said that the modern human being evolved from these prehistoric creations, rather, he was and is a new creation, endowed with free will and intellect, which then had to prove itself, thus he also received his self-awareness again. To what degree the Pre-Adamites could also use a certain amount of intelligence merely depended on the degree of maturity of their embodied soul-particles which, however, were unable to think and only expressed their intelligence through their active work, thus unconsciously .... This activity nevertheless produced the greatest works of wonder, as can often be seen in nature that paths were created for these beings to reach one another, that they created gorges and underground passages and thus created the first prerequisites for the human race so that the latter could then live the right kind of life when the time had come for the first original spirits to embody themselves as human beings .... The more people spread, (original spirits awaited embodiment), the more the prehistoric beings began to disappear which, however, only ever happened in stages, until the human race began to populate the earth and their probationary period began, when every once fallen original spirit had to prove itself, and therefore the human being has to be equipped with self-awareness, intellect and free will in order to travel the path across earth which will lead him again to the Father from Whom he once originated.

Time estimation not possible for people ....

B.D. 9016 from July 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I will always avoid allowing you to feel abandoned by Me, for you shall turn to Me with all your needs and cares and you will always receive an answer, because I know what troubles you and I Am always willing to take them from you if you trustingly hand them over to Me .... You need not worry in the slightest for I will think on your behalf, I know what bothers you and what questions come to your mind ....

Infinitely long periods have passed during which people already inhabited the earth, for the estimation of time you deduce from the Book of the Fathers is only warranted insofar as it shows the respective spiritual state of the people at the time, but that humanity inhabited the earth for an extremely long time already .... that only those happenings were recorded for their orientation which were of significance for humanity's development .... but that it is no longer possible to determine the duration of these times, you would never come to the right conclusion. However, this much is certain, that although many earthly periods have passed by already, the human being is still the same creation today that he was then .... that he was able to use his intellect from the start and that he was always troubled by the same problems which still bother people today, as far as they concerned the reason and purpose of their existence. For the gift to contemplate such things was given by Me to people from the start. Even in those days people discovered signs of pre-historic creatures already although they did not acknowledge them as their own kind since they differed considerably, and the first people knew that people like themselves had not existed before them, for they recognised themselves as a new creation, they knew that their existence had started an act of creation which had not happened before ....

They knew that they were able to talk to each other and that it was possible for every created human being to communicate with his fellow human beings. Besides, pre-historic beings were not known to them, nor did they know all the pre-historic creations they had to pass through themselves before they were allowed to embody themselves as human beings. Yet at no time have pre-Adamites lived together with people on earth, because they became extinct before people appeared on earth. Coexistence could never have taken place because it did not correspond to My plan of eternity, which could not have created something imperfect at a time when the perfect human being should prove himself as the crowning glory of creation. For the human being was unconscious of all pre-historic creations, he did not know his long process through the works of creation on earth, and thus as a new creation he had to be perfect and capable of receiving a soul, because the human being started a completely new path on earth with the goal of final unification with Me. The fact that the human being, due to his own fault, failed to reach this final union is not related to the process through the previous stages, for every soul which is permitted to embody itself as a human being one day has also reached the degree of maturity which allows for such an embodiment.

But it is impossible for people to establish the precise duration of humanity's existence on earth, nor will they receive clarifications in that respect because it is irrelevant how long people have lived on earth already, and by the same token it cannot be established when those pre-historic people lived. However, it is certain that they preceded the human being, that ages ago they dwelled everywhere as a creation which likewise served the maturing of innumerable tiny particles of soul, and thus they also contributed towards the higher development of these tiny particles which subsequently were allowed to embody themselves in a human being again. You humans can no longer establish it timing-wise, nor will it be possible for you, you can estimate an approximate period but will never know as to whether it is correct, for every single human being's live-span is limited. My creation, however, has existed for eternities, which will indeed remain eternities for you until you reach the light one day .... Then you will know that even the concept of eternity is but a fleeting moment for Me ....

Amen

Sincerely pursue the thought of redemption through Jesus ....

B.D. 9017 from July 17th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is of great importance for you humans to know how very significant your earthly life is for you, and what task is expected of everyone, so that you use the short time well which you still live on earth, for one day you will have to be answerable for it .... Then you will consider the information about untimely things less significant, for you will gain this knowledge in an instant when your degree of love has reached the level which guarantees you true knowledge about everything. And thus you should only ever strive to raise your degree of love, so that brightest realisation will embrace you when you enter the kingdom of the beyond. Then you will also be able to understand the process of creation, for then you will no longer be subject to the law of space and time, you will be able to observe everything that has ever taken place for the sake of My living creations' return .... but then you will also know about the meaning and purpose of all My creations and nothing will be hidden from you anymore.

Thus you will also know that it was of utmost significance for you humans that I descended to earth Myself in order to accomplish the act of compassion in the human shell of Jesus, without which all your knowledge would be worthless, for then you would be eternally lost, even if you knew everything .... For only the information of My descent to earth, of My path to the cross and the sacrifice of atonement is needed by you to be delivered from the immense original sin, for the sake of which I let all of creation emerge. And if you then pursue the thought of redemption with all sincerity on earth, if you take your path to Me in Jesus, then this immense original sin will also be remitted to you, and My work of creation will become brightly and clearly visible to you, and what is still mysterious to you as human beings will resolve itself in a most amazing way. I only require your heartfelt bond with Me in order to be able to make you happy with My illumination of love which then, however, will also guarantee you complete insight regarding questions relating to all past occurrences. For nothing in My creation is without meaning and purpose, but you cannot always know the latter, especially if it concerns creations which are incomprehensible to you because you don't know their real function. But the fact that every work of creation has a destined purpose or it would not have been created by Me should be obvious to you as well, you just don't know what task every single work of creation has to accomplish, yet one day it will become plain and obvious to you.

For this reason you should first and foremost acquire the true information about the great act of compassion which I Myself accomplished in the human being Jesus, and try to become a partaker in the treasure of grace which I acquired as the human being Jesus on your behalf .... Then you will surely gain far deeper insight into all the secrets which My creation still conceals from you than you can attain through merely informing yourselves about all My creations .... For you only have to be free from your original sin in order to then also be able to brightly and clearly recognise everything, in order to be able to place yourselves retrospectively into all creations again, which is certainly possible for you in the state of perfection, yet only in order to increase your knowledge about the destined purpose of every external form. And you will blissfully behold these creations which served you to assist your higher development, and one day it will also be clear to you that every work of creation only ever testifies to My never-ending love for the fallen spirits, for only I know which external shape is suitable for the soul to reach full maturity. One day you, too, will be able to understand it, and this is why you should endeavour on earth to acquire a high degree of love and desire less information, for intellectual knowledge is not a substitute for a loving heart. But this, in turn, will reveal to you full knowledge when you have entered the kingdom of light and unresolved problems no longer exist for you ....

Amen

Sparks of light lure souls out of darkness ....

B.D. 9018 from July 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My love is also meant for the souls in darkness, and I constantly try to have an effect on them, to soothe their thoughts and again and again turn them towards Me, because also in the deep the cross occasionally shines, but is only perceived by those whose senses are already soothed, who are in lethargy of spirit, who therefore also feel touched by the cross of Christ, indeed also only so far that they are not forced to take a stand .... Only the cross will be a sign for them, which they remember, and according to the impression of it their state can change. As soon as a soul falls into this lethargic state there is also the hope for it that it will finally come to its senses and want to leave the place which was its abode for a long time .... that it longs for a change, for a ray of light which may break through the darkness .... And then it is also again and again illuminated by sparks of light, it feels these sparks of light as invitation to follow them, and so slowly comes up, it gets into a circle of seeking souls, which all follow the light, where now also such is carried to them .... They are called upon to help and also do not refuse such because finally a work is assigned to them, which they gladly comply with. But now they also feel help themselves through this help; they feel the power of love, which they turn towards those seeking help, and at the same time they also receive instructions why they themselves can feel that feeling, and therefore they are stimulated to constant help, to thereby also find own help in their trouble. And it is certainly the fewest who return to their old surroundings, who then just did not yet have the earnest will to reach up out of the deep. But once the cross has become visible to these souls then it will not be difficult to also point out to them the importance of that what both the light beings, which dwell unrecognized among them, as well as man can do through the preaching of the gospel to these souls and they are also heard by them, for their resistance is broken, they can only still sink back into the old lethargy, but to rise up from it again and again when it is necessary to help those who are still worse off and thus all these souls help themselves when the will is willing to help. It is always only the beginning very difficult to get the souls to turn their thoughts not only towards themselves, that they are caused to lend a hand themselves .... but when this is achieved, then every soul rises unceasingly upwards, because with the help given to it by Me also its power rises, and it then cannot help but want to help .... And so the releasing from the deep alone is the most difficult work, but which strongly supports every intercession for such souls, so that more and more souls calm down, that their state is no longer an eternal fight, that the soul separates itself from its surroundings and slowly thinks of itself. Because no man on earth makes intercession for these souls in vain. And the souls also notice that help is given to them from one side, and they do not defend themselves against it, and therefore it also detaches itself more and more from its surroundings, until it then follows the sparks of light, which lead it out. Only rarely does a soul ask for help again, and that only when it is not prepared to help, that it therefore also does not feel the power, which it receives through it itself. Then it certainly takes a considerable time until it nevertheless changes its will and again makes the attempt to ascend out of the deep. These souls are in no way abandoned, they merely prolong their stay in the abyss through their resistance, which can nevertheless be broken precisely through intercession in love. And if only every man would remember such an unhappy spirit in love, then all would already be redeemed, because love is the strongest power, which no being can permanently resist. But how many men on earth think of also giving their intercession to those who are unhappy in the true sense of the word, who therefore can only be redeemed through love? But again and again also light beings descend and present their situation to them, asking them to follow them, because everywhere there are places where they can be helped further, if only the being once has given up resistance. Because My constant care is meant for those souls so that they are not banished again into matter. And that is why exactly before the end of a redemption period a great redeemer work starts, both on earth, as well as in the kingdom on the other side, to help as many souls as possible up out of the deep, so that they do not need to walk the course over earth again, and every soul, which just has the smallest little love spark in it, will be rescued ....

Amen

First Corinthians, 2-10 ....

B.D. 9019 from July 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is the spirit out of God, who introduces you into the deepest depths of the divinity, into His eternally unfathomable nature, but Who also reveals to you at the same time that no being is able to fathom Him completely, even if He allows him insight into His rule and work in infinity, if He would like to initiate His children into the greatest secrets of His nature .... But these will remain a secret until all eternity. But He reveals Himself to His children, i.e., as far as they are receptive He can illuminate them with His love .... This means that in His child a light shines, which is so bright that nothing remains hidden, what could give you information about your relationship to Him from the beginning. Inexhaustible is the knowledge, which you can receive, and still you will not be able to grasp His nature in eternity, but that what you experience will be enough to make you endless happy. You yourselves can increase the measure of knowledge at any time, because also no limits are set for you, provided that you have become perfect. Then you leave everything limited behind you; your aim will always only be that you become worthy of His love, which again and again wants to shine at you and which you now no longer reject, as you once did. You have now entered into such intimate contact with the divine spirit that you can now also work in His strength .... that it is not you yourselves who work, but God Himself is in you with His spirit; you have united yourselves with Him, and whatever you do now .... it is God Himself Who works every deed in you. Then you are truly His children who want to do nothing else than it is the father's sanctified will, for the same will is also in the child .... He who has reached this maturity can rightly say that he knows about the 'depths of the Godhead', for God Himself has revealed Himself to him. And for him there is now nothing more that is still veiled to him, because God's spirit is in him and thus creates for him this feeling of the divine in him. But then the child has reached highest divinization; then it is eternally no longer to be separated from God, but still remains an individual being, which is exceedingly happy and now also wants to transfer its happiness to other less happy beings. To reach this high aim still during earth life is your task, which you all are to fulfil and also can, which earns you endless happiness, a lot, which no being can rob from you anymore. For once you have entered the kingdom of light you will constantly strive for the highest and most perfect being, and the being will also repay you for this will; It will let Itself be found by you and continue to put you into the state of longing for It and also constantly fulfil your longing. Because the greatest is His love, and He does everything to make His children happy. And to this also belongs that He reveals Himself more and more, that they all can gain insight into His nature and that He still does not reveal Himself completely, because exactly therein lies His happiness to be able to offer more and more to His children, because the measure, which He hands out, is inexhaustible, because there is no limit for Him as well as for everything perfect. That God now pointed out to man through His apostle the 'penetration into the depths of the Godhead' was necessary with the spiritual state of men at the time of His walk on earth, because no man believed in such a bond of God to men that He could reveal Himself to them in His depth. And still it was just the sign of it that the love of God was exceedingly great and that He wanted it that men sought to penetrate into His nature, that He offered Himself to them so that they should feel empowered to get in touch with the spirit out of God to get behind this great secret. He wanted to encourage them not to slacken their efforts to explore His being, even though they did not succeed completely, but He promised them that the 'deepest depths of the divinity' would reveal themselves, and thereby inspired people to establish spiritual contact with the highest and most perfect being .... For what was earthly not possible, that the spirit out of God wanted to teach men, and therefore God gave men a sign when this union was established: when knowledge about the nature of God would be given to men, which indeed could never be made exhaustively comprehensible to them, but was nevertheless regarded as a proof that God revealed Himself as the highest and most perfect being, Which can never be surpassed. And if a man now doubts this, the bible gives him the best proof for it that the spirit out of God reveals to him the deepest things about His being. Because exactly out of the book of books you seek the proofs, but you do not want to accept the most important proof that the 'spirit out of God investigates all things', otherwise you could not oppose the revelations from above with any doubt. You could then also deal with it intellectually, and with good will it would be easy for you to acquire the truth ....

What fate is the world heading towards ....

B.D. 9020 from July 20th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you knew what fate you are heading towards you would not desire the world with all its commodities for even one minute longer. For you will lose them all and have to content yourselves with the small amount that is left to you after hours of extreme adversity and distress. And yet you cannot be spared because the time of the end is near and you shall first dispose of everything that belongs to the world and thus also to the one who is the prince of this world. And as soon as you have the right attitude towards Me, your God and Creator of eternity, your life will also become bearable for you .... But who has this right attitude towards Me? The firm belief that I will help him in every adversity, who entrusts himself to Me completely, and who is willing to surrender his life for the sake of his neighbour? For this will be your fate, that you even voluntarily choose to die in order to save your neighbour's life!

Yet it will not be to your disadvantage, for although you will lose your life on earth you will with certainty gain eternal life, which no one can take away from you again .... Therefore, don't be afraid, regardless of what will happen .... And firmly believe that you will go on living .... and therefore take care that you can leave your earthly life in a state which will lead you to life in eternity. For even life on this earth will come to an end soon afterwards and then the great reckoning will take place .... The gates into the kingdom of the beyond will be closed and only Satan's slaves and My Own will inhabit the earth .... the former will be banished into matter again whilst the living bodies of the latter will be removed by Me in order to populate the reshaped earth. And because I will send warnings and admonitions prior to such disintegrations of earth, the preceding natural disaster must also be viewed as such an omen which, with absolute certainty, will be followed by the end.

I terminate an earthly period because people no longer use their earthly life for the maturing of their souls and I still want to save what can be saved .... For I love all of you, My living creations, I don't want your ruin but your release from the constraint of the one who was responsible for your apostasy. But I cannot induce you against your will to live in accordance with My will and thus to live a way of life which will guarantee you eternal life. I must always give priority to your will and depending on your will so shall be your fate. However, since this time of the occurring judgment has already been planned for eternity you have all had ample opportunity to change so that you need not be counted amongst the victims of this judgment .... Yet you lack belief in it, and thus the end will take you by surprise and find you utterly unprepared. And I can't do anything else but send you a stern warning in advance, a natural disaster of such huge proportions that it will trigger tremendous fear and could make you recognise your God and Creator's solemn voice, yet until the end a human being's fate is determined by his free will, for neither I nor My adversary will use coercion. The adversary, however, will have greater success; nevertheless he will not be able to enjoy it for I will seize what belongs to him from his control again in order to embed it in hard matter, so that he will nevertheless lose strength as higher development continues, which will always also result in beings reaching the light, who escape from him altogether and return into their Father's house from where they once originated ....

Divine promise to provide for man's earthly welfare ....

B.D. 9021 from July 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whatever you undertake, it must be a blessing for you, as soon as you make an effort to supply My word to fellowmen. Because this is the most important task, which you can comply with, because it is alone about that you fulfil My will during earth life and that I announce this My will to you through My word from above. Every other activity, no matter how important it may seem to you, is of secondary importance, nevertheless, the soul's attainment of its aim alone is to be taken seriously, for this is the only reason it passes over earth, and this aim is to be regarded as a matter of priority, because everything else it achieves earthly will be taken away from it again through earthly death. When you now take care of your brothers, who are richly blessed by Me with spiritual gifts, then you also fulfil your earth assignment, which consists in the handing out of these spiritual gifts. But exactly this activity of yours is little recognized and put down as useless, because one cannot acquire earthly goods with it. But I have told you: „Seek first the kingdom of God .... all other things will be added to you." And your life on earth is to be in accordance with this saying; you are only to seek to reach Me Myself and My kingdom by all means, and you will have no need .... Earthly and spiritually I truly want to give you everything you need, and I only ever demand of you that you also inform your fellow human beings of My working in and on you. Because when you consider that I have given you earth life as man alone for the sake of the maturing of the soul and that I have given you that promise to take care of your earthly and spiritual welfare Myself, then you could lead an easy earth life, because My promises fulfil themselves to the word. But since there are many unbelievers in your midst you should point them to the visible help I provide for those who serve Me .... you should tell them that My word is truth and has to come true if only the conditions are fulfilled which I have attached to it, that I bring My teachings back to all of you which I expressed at the time of My life on earth, and that I am mainly concerned with the fulfilment of the commandments of love, that you may also make use of My care .... For this alone is your earthly task, that your soul can enter the kingdom of the beyond matured as far as possible, then it will have fulfilled its purpose of earthly life, it will not have lived the endless long state in the preliminary stages in vain and will now have come closer to Me as a human being, as My plan from eternity had intended .... But as long as you don't regard this maturing of the soul as the most important thing, as long as you only worry about earthly things, I Myself cannot take care of you, as I would exceedingly gladly do, if only you would seriously strive for Me and My kingdom .... But how difficult do you make your existence on earth for yourselves? You worry about earthly goods of which you know that they are transient .... But you do not believe My promise that I will also provide you with these goods if only you would take the care for the soul more seriously than that for the body .... And again and again I draw your attention to the fact that it is only about your soul, which you are to bring to Me .... Again and again I explain to you the meaning and purpose of earthly existence, and I announce My will to you, which only consists of shaping yourselves or of changing back to love. To fulfil this truly not difficult commandment is to be your whole earth task, and earthly you will have an easy life and then also be able to enter the kingdom of light, as I have promised it to you. And that I demand of you, My loyal servants, that you explain to men the meaning and purpose of their earth life, that you admonish them to a love life, which will then earn them a visible blessing. For I truly do not neglect a person who is of service to Me, who is constantly active for Me and My kingdom by contributing to the spreading of My word and doing everything I ask of him through it ..... This person will also be able to live his physical life without worries, for it will truly be possible for Me to keep earthly worries away from a person, but only ever if the person also fulfils the preconditions .... And exactly these conditions are the content of your whole earth life to seek Me, so that I can let Myself be found, because I fulfil every such request, since it is spiritually directed and you walk the course over earth for the sake of spiritual maturing. As soon as you are clear about the actual meaning and purpose of life, you will also only pursue the one aim, to help your soul to maturity. But then I will bless you, no matter whether you have come to this realization yourselves or whether you have been instructed by My messengers .... For then you will fulfil all commandments and submit yourselves to My will, then the earthly world will no longer irritate you but you will only strive to be accepted into the kingdom where you will live for eternity ....

Amen

Prehistoric people? ....

B.D. 9022 from July 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You only need to turn to Me with an appeal to grant you an explanation and I will not hesitate to answer. You don't realise that the act of creation has taken infinitely long periods of time, for you judge by your present concepts to time, whereas the act of creation necessitated eternities, which is rationally impossible for you to understand. Hence you are right in your assumption that the pre-Adamites lived long before the human being .... who was recognized as the true human being due to his self-awareness, intellect and free will. Yet this does not exclude the fact that these human beings had no knowledge of pre-historic people, they knew of their existence but described them as having lived long before themselves. But this only happened after the fall into sin, when I sent beings of light from above amongst people which enlightened them as to their past process through all creations .... Prior to this they had no knowledge of it at all, and thus no idea about these human-like beings because .... wherever people were created .... these beings had become extinct. However, since the growth of human population advanced only slowly .... in keeping with the matured original spirits .... the process of creation continued over a very long time, and thus the earth was not inhabited by people everywhere at once, whereas the pre-Adamites only became extinct when the creation work 'Man' began to appear.

Pre-historic people therefore have never lived with human beings together at the same time, but the human being was created at different times since the conditions on earth, too, varied quite considerably and needed this diversity, because even the original spirits developed differently, which is not quite understandable to you humans yet. It is not as if people were instantly created on earth, instead, everything took place such that one can speak of periodic creation, and every period brought forth such beings until the human being with self-awareness, intellect and free will appeared as the last work of creation. If I now use the term 'at the same time', then I mean the same period of creation which, however, was so long that it cannot be expressed with numbers .... but that these pre-historic beings preceded the real human being because no concept of time exists for Me and to Me a thousand years are like a day. And the whole act of creation took so long that people can no longer determine the length of time, only the fact that everything developed, from matter to the mineral and plant world .... through the animal kingdom up to the human being, but that I also always created a new external shape for the tiny particles of soul as they developed further.

Hence, the expression 'they developed into the next being' only relates to spiritual development, yet every external shape was a new creation which always vanished again once it had completely fulfilled its purpose, on account of which so many beings disappeared again once human beings came into existence who were able to create and shape according to their will .... Thus people did not live alongside pre-historic beings, but that does not rule out that they didn't inhabit the earth at the same time, they just lived so far apart that they had no knowledge of them, because the time had not yet come for the human being to find the right living conditions he needed in order to survive there. Just one thing has to be clarified, that the earth was not populated at the same time with fully responsible people, they came much later, whereas the pre-historic people still existed wherever the earth was not yet sufficiently developed. It is difficult to give you humans an idea as to how the whole work of creation took place, for you are neither able to imagine the length of time in which this work was completed nor the immense space that had to be populated by the small particles of soul of the fallen original spirits.

This required great diversity which was entirely achieved by My thoughts, so that I saw everything as a minute work of creation before Me and it simultaneously arose as finished work .... so that the creation took on ever larger forms wherein the soul particles were to mature, and it was teeming with creations of the most varied kinds .... so that I placed every work of creation where possibilities to mature were given. And thus the pre-historic beings were a creation which I placed wherever the future human race was sooner or later expected to take possession of the earth in order to bring its developing process to an end. But that the earth should exhibit the same conditions everywhere was not intended by My versatile creative will, and even today there are vast stretches of land where no human being can exist because he lacks the conditions to survive, for which I have My reasons. Yet it is certain that the human being's external shape was a work of My love, that I created Man after My image and that his soul, too, shall one day become My image again which, however, was not the case with pre-historic people, they were unable to develop into the human being as he is at present, irrespective of whether he attains spiritual maturity or not ....

Pre-historic people? ....

B.D. 9023 from July 23rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

And if you think that I let you believe something that is wrong you must always consider that you harbour intellectual misconceptions, since the intellect can easily interfere if your contact with Me is not firmly established .... but also consider that I always endeavour to clarify even seemingly apparent discrepancies, for you shall be instructed according to truth. The slow development towards ascent often led people to believe that it was to be understood as a purely physical development .... hence relating to the external form .... however, only the spiritual development was meant by it, the ascent of the substances of soul within every individual work of creation.

And thus My work of creation included countless external forms, which in groups can certainly be referred to as the same creations but which, even then, still consisted of infinitely many groups where one differed again from the other but always continued as the same species .... thus there can be no question of higher development as such. However, as the substances of soul continued to mature, new external forms also arose time and again which only were concluded when the work of creation 'Man' came into being, who then had to fulfil the last task on earth: to spiritualise himself, to change himself into the living creation he had been in the beginning .... in order to then be able to end his earthly path and return to Me from where he had originated ....

The fact that all these pre-historic creations had to contribute towards this change was an exceedingly happy process for Me which sooner or later had to lead to success. Yet to inform a human being of this, who only has a limited intellectual capacity, is only possible to some degree, albeit in the state of light he can instantly comprehend all correlations and the purpose of every external form. But for earthly life it is enough if he receives sufficient light in order to roughly grasp the process of return so that he can also give his fellow human beings a faint idea about the meaning and purpose of creation. And then it depends on every individual person as to what extent he will delve into My eternal plan of Salvation, which only ever aims to achieve My living creations' happiness ....

Assurance of plain truth ....

B.D. 9024 from July 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When I again and again give you the assurance that you can only receive pure truth from Me, then this is to be enough for you to also be able to pass it on in all security. Because you must consider the one thing that the end is shortly approaching you and that I exhaust all possibilities to bring light and clarity to you men, so that you again find out of darkness, which the opponent has spread over you. And I truly also have the means at My disposal to be able to supply people who long for the truth with it and .... if I recognize the supply of truth as urgently necessary .... to also choose the right vessels for it, which give Me the guarantee for a truthful reception of My word from above .... Moreover I Myself say to you: "Test everything, and keep the best ...." And the spirit in you will also let you be pruned there, where doubts about truth befall you. And then ask Me again that I give you enlightenment so that you understand everything right. But that you are not misled in the times of the end, I Myself will teach you through My spirit, and My opponent can no longer beguile you, because you recognize his intrigues, and your eyes are always directed towards Me. The fight between light and darkness already lasts for ever and will still last through eternal times because the light can only assert itself there where redemption has already taken place because then the opponent is put out of action. And everywhere where My word radiates down to earth there the opponent has lost his power, and exactly there he will rage and seek to extinguish the light. But I have set up light bearers who are superior to him in power, against whom he cannot fight because they blind him with their light .... He tolerates everything but no light because it exposes him, because it exposes all his vices and that is why he flees into darkness. And because the end is so near, it is important to come out with truth and to carry light everywhere, which is gladly accepted where men feel oppressed by darkness. But you can only receive truth from Me, Who am eternal truth and hand it out to all those who suffer from darkness of spirit, who open their hearts to receive it, and whom I therefore can address, because I know their hearts, because I know that they are willing to love and seek Me Myself, because they seek truth. And these will always be considered by Me, and I will see to it that they can serve Me through the spreading of truth. Because it is to be carried everywhere where only a desiring man sends out his thoughts with questions, which I alone can answer for him. Then he will also receive information, and he will always be full of conviction that he possesses pure truth. Therefore do not let yourselves be misled when you yourselves have the feeling to possess full truth because this is also My voice, which speaks to you, and then you will be instructed from the inside, from the spirit spark, which is My share, which pushes towards Me and seeks to unite with Me. (26.7.1965) You must, to be able to work for Me, have the conviction in yourselves to receive nothing else than pure truth, to now also be able to represent it with conviction. Because this is the last opportunity, which is given to you, to carry light to men. And that the light is to be recognized brightly and clearly, I Myself will see to that, and I will illuminate everything what contradicts this truth, what you therefore can brand as error. But I will not let any error be sent to you Myself, because such prevents My love, which I assure every earth child earnestly wanting to serve Me. That you are not yet able to completely penetrate all My messages from above, lets you sometimes doubt the truth of these, but once you have given yourselves to Me, once I know about your will, which resists untrue knowledge, I can also protect you from it, for thereby you also testify to your attitude towards the one who is the father of lies, and this will of yours gives Me the right to take complete possession of you and thus to present you as bearers of light who are now to spread the light on My behalf, so that spiritually blind humanity will be led out of the darkness of night. And believe ever more firmly in My endless love, which will certainly not allow that you are in error, you who resist it. What an earthly father will do that he does not report untrue things to you, that I will certainly do, and you can therefore drop all doubts. Because again and again I tell you: I need you for this work, and the more you yourselves stand in the desire for pure truth, the better servants you are for Me, and you truly fulfil your activity to the best ..... Therefore never doubt the truthfulness of that which is commanded you from above .... And that it is offered to you from above you will be able to recognize by the content of My messages, which preach nothing but love to you and emphasize the work of redemption of Jesus Christ .... And who once received enlightenment with such detail just about the work of redemption, he has also penetrated divine revelations so far that he is protected from the influence of bad powers, because his attitude towards Jesus is the safest protection for him. You must again and again imagine that the divine redeemer himself has already taken possession of you, you who stand up for him, and that it is then completely impossible that you are open for an error, which therefore starts from My opponent. And this is especially necessary in the times of the end to know this because you will still often be attacked by such who doubt the truth of your announcements, and those are to be countered by those arguments. Believe that I know exactly about the will of the receiver of My word and that I therefore chose such one for Me, who recognized every error immediately and resisted the acceptance of it, exactly because it is about the time of the end, where alone the light of truth can still bring rescue to men, who want to let themselves be rescued. And in the end a great light will shine to confirm everything what has been spread as truth .... But then also the end is no longer far, because then I Myself will come in the clouds, as I have promised ....

Amen

World conflagration .... Natural disaster .... Decision ....

B.D. 9025 from August 1st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Nothing will remain hidden from you, who have offered to be of service to Me, for the final events will be so huge that you cannot be left in the dark about them, and especially if I want to speak through you to all people .... Hence you also ought to know that it will only require a modest impact to trigger a catastrophe which at first can be seen from a purely worldly point of view, but which is the signal for the subsequent natural disaster, although it is certainly not started by human will it is nevertheless the consequence of human will in as much as it will start a world conflagration that cannot be stopped by anything other than My will. And since humankind always only pays attention to world events something has to happen which is inexplicable to them .... the gaze of worldly people has to be visibly directed towards My intervention, and all human intentions must take second place in view of the discovery that something is taking place in the universe which could ultimately affect every human being ....

Thus, people must learn to fear God and not their human enemies .... And although it is up to every individual to believe in a God or not, the said cosmic event is nevertheless greater and more life-threatening than the world conflagration which then will recede into the background. For then people's spiritual attitude towards the Creator and Provider of all things will decide whether and how the natural disaster will take effect .... Whether you believe it or not, this event is approaching you with giant strides, and only a short period of time is separating you from it. And you who know this should make every one of you fellow human beings aware of what lies ahead of him, even if you will find no credence, but the events will confirm it ....

For the end, too, is coming ever closer .... This natural disaster is just a last sign of it, but who will still allow himself to be influenced by it? People will only just see it as a natural disaster and not be able to recognise any connection with humanity's spiritual state .... apart from the few who are spiritually awake but unable to get through and thus warn people in vain of the final end which they are inevitably approaching. Don't let the signs of the times pass you by unnoticed for they are cautioning all of you that you are living in the last days, and remember that you only have little time left in which you will have to decide whether you want to take the path to Me, Who can and will save you in all adversity .... or whether you want to strive towards the adversary again who wants to ruin you again for endless times.

For the sake of your freedom of will you cannot be informed of the day and the hour, but I can always just tell you with certainty that there is not much time left to you. Yet worldly events will affect you all, and thus you take little notice of what I say to you .... And it will befall you with tremendous force so that you won't know how to protect yourselves .... But let Me tell you that only I Myself will be able to offer you protection, that you have to take refuge in Me in order to be led through all dangers to body and soul. And if you humans would only just learn that a higher Authority is at work and that you have to call upon this higher Authority otherwise you will be hopelessly lost, for My adversary will use all his power just once more in order to get his hands on you. And anyone who does not decide in favour of Me anymore in the short time until the end will then also be bound in matter, and he will have to take an infinitely long path through the creations of the new earth once more ....

Amen

Total dedication and complete submission of will ....

B.D. 9026 from August 5th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You shoulder great responsibility during your earthly progress, the burden of which, however, you can place upon Me if you decide to hand yourselves over to Me with all your strength and soul. In that case you will be free from every responsibility in the knowledge that I will guide you, for I will direct your every step such that you will inevitably end up with Me, that you therefore quite freely subordinate your will to Mine and have thereby passed the test of will, which is the sole purpose and goal of your earthly life. Completely entering into My will relieves you from all responsibility, for then you will only be able to live according to My will, your actions will be good and righteous, you will voluntarily fulfil the commandments of love for Me and your neighbour, the adversary will no longer be able to harm you and your earthly path will proceed entirely according to My will so that there will be no danger that you can travel it unsuccessfully. Just place yourselves totally into My hands and through your dedication you will become My Own completely, then you will no longer have to fear the world, earthly matter will leave you unaffected, you will only use it according to My will by causing it to be of service to you and at the same time providing it with the opportunity of advancement .... You should all take this simple path, the path of devotion to Me, for then I will always be prepared to release the chains, for as soon as you hand yourselves over to Me with complete faith and love Jesus Christ's act of Salvation will be understandable to you and you will take the path to Him, thereby recognising Me Myself as your God and Creator, as the Redeemer from all bondage. You need never fear becoming subject to My adversary again, for his control over you will be broken from the moment of your total dedication to Me, your decision will have been in My favour, you will turn away from him and quite deliberately strive towards Me.

From this time on the adversary will no longer be able to deprive Me of My entitlement to you, all your love will belong to Me, and this and My love will never ever be parted again. If you take this path on earth to Me, if you know that you call upon your God and Father in Jesus, Who sacrificed Himself for you on the cross in order to redeem your past sin .... and if you are subsequently released from the adversary, then you have taken the right decision, you have accepted the emanation of love again without which blissful happiness cannot exist. And your fate will be far more glorious than before, when you indeed emerged from Me in supreme perfection but nevertheless were My creations, whereas now you have matured into My children, which I was unable to create, I was merely able to give you all the abilities to achieve this of your own accord .... And I would like to make it easy for you and merely need your total dedication to Me, then I will even out your every step so that you no longer need to bear responsibility, so that you only ever need to think and act as I make you feel in your heart, and then you will be happy because I Myself guide you and direct your thoughts. In that case you certainly act of your own free will but this will very clearly subordinates itself to Me and thus you can only want and act correctly. For the second time you will have come forth from My hand but in a way that you wanted yourselves and your free will helped to become that which could not emerge from Me in the beginning. Bliss on both your part and mine will constantly increase, for you will be offered splendours in My kingdom which you would never have dreamt of, for 'eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which I have prepared for them that love Me ....'

Amen

Devaluation of the divine word (temporal) ....

B.D. 9027 from August 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All of you are addressed by Me, you who desire that your father in heaven speaks to you. And truly no word is spoken to you in vain, because again and again you will be able to draw power from it, and your knowledge will always be extended through it. And what is once sent to earth by Me, that also keeps its value, because they are always divine words, words of love and of favour, and no man should seek to devalue these, because it is all illumination of My love power, which therefore never loses its value. It is not so that My words can be devalued when you receive them differently in time because My word always and forever keeps its validity and can only be offered according to the state of maturity of the receiver, and this I alone can measure. If you therefore believe to now be considered differently, then this can only concern one thing, that it more and more approaches the end and My admonitions and warnings become more and more urgent .... but the development of the soul always and forever remains the same, and everything what I once have spoken, does not lose its validity. For My word eternally does not devalue itself, and where people accept it they are not in a position to understand it as I want it understood .... Because it is always My word, which is offered to you through the mouth of men, and it is not up to you to pass judgement on it, because I truly know it what is best for you all and for which state of maturity it is given to you. And I will always direct it there where men just need this word to develop upwards. And would you all be able to hear My voice directly, then I could also address everyone and answer his questions, but as this is not possible, I hold all My speeches so that they are of service to everyone and help him to further development. Because I know all hearts and know what they need, even if you men do not know it. (7.8.1965) I truly know it what serves you to perfection. That is why you are not to believe that I send My word to earth indiscriminately, but I always address every individual man, as his spiritual state demands it and as he is receptive for it. Also the souls in the hereafter are often addressed; answers are given to them to questions, which move them and which I alone can answer for them in the way as they understand it, therefore always according to their state of maturity. But you must never believe that a word from Me reaches earth without purpose and aim, because everything is known to Me, every state of the one addressed, and no word loses its value either, because men are always found, who must be addressed so and not differently, and because you are only to be spreaders of this .... but never be allowed to presume to evaluate My word. And when I in the knowledge of the spiritual state of need direct My word seemingly indiscriminately to earth, then also then accept it as suitable for this spiritual need, because nothing is given in vain, nothing is without meaning and purpose; everything only serves the ascent development and is adapted to the state of maturity of him who receives it and therefore I also direct the thoughts of him right, who receives My word directly from Me and takes care for the spreading ....

Recalling the vineyard labourers .... Continuing diligent activity ....

B.D. 9028 from August 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

And if My plans differ from yours then you should also submit to them and know that it cannot be good otherwise .... For you are unable to observe what benefits the whole of humanity. It is of no significance to Me whether you influence people from the beyond or are still active here on earth, for My plan of Salvation has already taken everything into account, and only the decision of your will is important. Hence you can completely calmly hand yourselves over to Me and My providence just as long as it is your own will to serve Me and you totally give yourselves to Me; for then I will work through you Myself. And that I, in My wisdom, observe everything and make use of every opportunity to save erring souls is certain, because My love for you is infinite. The closer the end approaches the more obviously I will affect you so that you will remain faithful to Me and not lose yourselves to the one who is My adversary and wants to regain you. But I will never let this happen again because I completely own your will and only this gives Me the right to counteract him. Yet the angel of death will also reap amongst My Own .... but then you know that it is My will and that I will also protect everyone who still has the task to be of service to Me until the end. Therefore continue to be carefree and devote yourselves more than ever to the work for My kingdom, and work diligently, for none of you know whom I will recall before the time, and neither should you ponder on it but approach every day with a cheerful heart because whatever happens to you will be good and determined by My love.

And I also want to explain to you whom I mean by 'My Own' so that you will not worry, for some are already so close to Me that they can rightfully leave their earthly body in order to enter the kingdom of light and bliss .... Yet only I know this, and I want to spare them the time of the last battle on earth .... I will fetch them and bring them to a place where they will also be able to influence the inhabitants of earth. But you should not fear these last days, for I will provide you with extraordinary strength so that you will successfully complete the work which you consciously support, and therefore have become a great help for Me .... So accept whatever comes your way and don't think that you have been abandoned by the Father, for I know a way out of everything and I Am truly willing to let you find this solution, even if you temporarily feel hampered in your work. For I know how to weave the threads, I know My Own and will bring them together and designate their work to them. Yet always believe that your work is pleasing to Me for which I will compensate you one day .... either in the paradise of the new earth or in the kingdom of the beyond ....

Only truth leads to the goal ....

B.D. 9029 from August 11th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You can travel a long path on earth and still not reach the goal if this path leads you astray. For this reason, I constantly send messengers of light to cross your path, even though you can reject them and ignore their advice when they show you the right path .... And I always do this because My love does not want you to be misled .... If only you paid attention to the fact that you will never go anywhere without warning, that one side will always advise you to act virtuously and with kindness, then you would always receive light, you would realise that you are living in error, and then the risk of unnecessarily prolonging your path of ascent would be over .... Then I would always be able to give you strength for constantly new loving activity, and you would soon be brightly enlightened so that you would be able to cover your earthly path without worry in order to reach the right goal. Erroneous belief is the only stumbling block for your assured progress, because error is My adversary's activity, who will do whatever he can in order to fight the pure truth .... And as long as you are subject to his rule you will resist the truth. However, I gave you common sense which you should use in the right way by pondering what reason your imperfection .... which you should be able to recognise .... could possibly have. And as soon as you seriously think about it you will also receive a satisfactory response, and although you will only believe it to be the result of your thinking you will nevertheless not be able to refute it with such compelling substantiations to the contrary that you will be fully convinced by these. For a silent admonisher was given to you which .... if you are honest with yourselves .... can be recognised as My voice ....

Everything will be easy for you if you only recognise a God and Creator above yourselves and willingly submit yourselves to Him. Then I Myself will guide you, and truly on a path which will not appear laborious to you, for I Myself Am the support for you which you should hold on to, which you will not lose again, for I will guide you until you have reached your goal. I only expect this belief of you, otherwise you will walk lonely and forsaken through earthly life and become a plaything for the one who wants to lead you toward the abyss. You only need to be offered the pure truth, which shines like a bright light and will make you very happy .... For truth comes forth from Me, and sooner or later it will be offered to every person, yet it has to be voluntarily accepted because it cannot be imparted by force .... Not even My adversary can force you to reject the truth .... your attitude towards the truth and thus also towards Me is entirely up to you. But one day you will be triumphant over the one who wanted to lead you into error when you are able to confront him with the truth. And then you will be illuminated again as you were in the beginning, when you possessed brightest realisation and were blissfully happy. Therefore, take notice of My messengers who stand by the wayside and still want to kindle a small light for everyone, and listen to them without objection, even if you can't instantly agree with the contents of their message you should nevertheless think about it and let Me, your God and Creator, be part of it .... and I will truly guide your thoughts right and also always draw your attention to any error, so that you won't accept it without checking it. Thereby you already testify to wanting to know the truth, and this will be taken into account. For the greatest evil is the fact that the earthly world is only based on error, since it shelters the spirits which once fell away from Me and which My adversary plunged into wrong thinking .... so that they will not be released from it until the pure truth prevails, but which the human being has to do himself by using his own free will. For this reason there is only a little light amongst people but everyone can attain light if he has the serious will and hands himself over to Me with complete trust so that I can guide him into truth .... so that he then will also receive it according to his will ....

Amen

Warning about changing the Word of God ....

B.D. 9030 from August 23rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Time and again you resent the form of how My Word is conveyed to you from above .... This can be so easily explained by the fact that I avail Myself of a person's power of comprehension, but this should not be confused with general education, for only rarely can I find a person capable of receiving My Word as dictated because this requires the aptitude of instantly grasping incoming thoughts and transcribing them like dictation .... which, however, should not be confused with their own, intellectually contrived thoughts .... This could lead to the erroneous assumption that what the person tries to portray as spiritually received are his own mental concepts. The human being's intellect is inactive then but he hears within himself what the spirit of God tells him .... At no time ever will that which you receive as My Word be incomprehensible for you if you read it with the necessary open-mindedness, which requires understanding .... And a change is insofar inappropriate because you humans, too, constantly change your forms of expression, thus My Word shall remain as it has been received. For its content testifies to its divine origin, and depending on his receptivity the recipient will hear My Word, even when it is transmitted to earth through a spirit of light, for the latter cannot emit anything else but My Word .... And the more intimately the human being establishes his contact with Me the more clearly dictation will take place, but it will never be incorrect, for wherever a mistakes slips in due to disturbances the recipient will soon be made aware of it so that he can rectify it himself. For precisely the danger that My Word can easily become subject to such changes rests in the fact that people want to change it into a form which corresponds to their 'degree of education' which, however, is absolutely inappropriate because I know how to address every human being in order to be understood by him. And the meaning of My address can always be understood providing a certain degree of maturity has been achieved due to love, and this cannot be substituted by even the most comprehensible formulation. And you should always bear in mind that in view of the approaching end My Word is truly offered to you humans such that you can accept it as truth without doubt, because I know that only the truth signifies salvation for you humans and that I do everything in order to convey the truth to you but will also always warn you against implementing changes yourselves, even if this happens with the best of intentions ....

Amen
