Who was Bertha Dudde?

Bertha Dudde wurde am 1. April 1891 als zweitälteste Tochter eines Kunstmalers in Liegnitz, Schlesien, geboren.

Bertha Dudde was born on 1. April 1891, as the second oldest daughter of a painter, in Liegnitz, Silesia. She became a dressmaker and began to receive pronouncements from God through the ‘Inner Word’ on 15. June 1937.

“In a clear dream I was moved to write down my thoughts after devout prayer. Understandably this often gave way to doubt and inner conflicts until I was convinced that I was, myself, by no means the initiator of these exquisitely gracious words; but instead it was the spirit within me, in other words, the love of the Heavenly Father was obviously responsible for them and introduced me to the truth”.

“I was given knowledge of the spiritual world which far exceeded my elementary school education. I received and receive this knowledge as a dictation in a state of complete consciousness; I write down everything I am told in shorthand, in order to then transfer it word for word to clean copy. The procedure does not take place in a state of compulsion, for example in a state of trance or ecstasy, but in an absolutely level-headed frame of mind. However, I have to want it to happen and then I can receive these dictations voluntarily; they are neither bound by time nor place.”

“Now I only have one wish, which is to be able to make these gifts of grace accessible to many more people and in accordance with the will of God Himself to be allowed to do much more work in His vineyard.”

(Quotations from an autobiography from 1959).

Bertha Dudde died on 18. September 1965 in Leverkusen, Germany.

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.

Fatherly Words of love ....

B.D. 3532 from September 1st 1945, taken from Book No. 45

You have a powerful Helper by your side, and yet you still want to lose heart? You may approach Me in prayer at all times by merely using this grace and you will call Me to your side and you will assuredly receive support. Regardless of the danger you find yourselves in .... My power is greater and can banish every calamity in an instant. Bear this in mind if you are at risk of feeling anxious and fainthearted. Your Father in Heaven will not abandon you, in a crisis He is closer to you than ever as long as you consider yourselves His children and trustingly call upon Him for help. Time and again I assure you of My protection, time and again I lift you up through My Word, and time and again I impart upon you the strength to resist evil. And My love will embrace you more closely than ever if you suffer adversity of body and soul and take refuge in Me in full confidence that I will help you. You may always consider yourselves safe and secure when the world around you runs riot, when earthly measure frighten you and make you tremble .... Then you need simply stretch out your hand to Me so that I will guide you, and I will take you along a path that leads away from disaster .... For I will walk beside you, and the power of evil will truly not come close to Me. He avoids Me and chooses people who walk in darkness like himself and ignores those who walk by My side in the light and who are therefore out of reach for him. Believe and trust in Me and don't allow earthly adversities to get you down. Only pay attention to your souls and let Me worry about your earthly life .... and give Me the right to take care of you by totally handing your will over to Me. And your life on earth will be bearable for you .... For I Am always with you as long as you send your thoughts up to Me and desire to be in contact with Me. I will call My little sheep when I have found them, when they have returned to their shepherd, I will not let them go astray again, I will stay with all those who want to stay with Me and will never ever leave them again. So if I give you this assurance, why are you still worried? My Word is truth and will remain truth for all eternity. I always draw close to My children with all My love as soon as the slightest call reaches Me, and therefore you should always come to Me if you labour and are heavily laden .... My love is always willing to give, My love is always willing to help, I can help you and I want to help you, I only require your faith, your trust, so that My strength of love can take effect ....

Amen

Loving Fatherly Words ....

B.D. 3775 from May 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You will remain in My care for the rest of your life, and therefore nothing should frighten you, nothing should make you anxious and seem insurmountable to you once you have gained faith in My strength, love and wisdom. Who should protect you if not the One Who is love in Himself? .... Who has the power to do so and Who wants to draw you close to Himself? And so I will also take your earthly adversity from you once you have gained complete faith. And therefore don't be afraid. Bear everything with patience and in submission to My will and know that it is necessary for your soul's salvation but that I will not burden you with more than you can carry, and I will support you at all times if you can no longer master your situation on your own. However, the fact that I cannot entirely avert adversity from you is also purely based on My love, for the time until the end is short and I want to make eternal life in all its glory accessible for you, who are My Own, and therefore purify your souls to become suitable for the spiritual kingdom. Always keep My immeasurable love in mind if you suffer, because during your final span of earthly life it wants to help you attain complete liberation .... And you will bear everything more easily and only ever learn to love Me more sincerely because My love is mightily drawing you closer. Even so, I will never abandon you .... Removing the adversity from humanity would signify absolute ruin for an infinitely long time; but I still want to save that which will not shirk from My loving help. And you, too, must experience this adversity, albeit you do not need it to the same extent, yet it will even have a richly blessed result for you and, one day, you will recognise it as a special grace from Me. But if you do not exclude Me from your thoughts, you will be able to endure even the greatest hardship, for My yoke is easy, and My burden is light .... And My Word is truth .... If I Myself promise you My help, if I want to help you carry your cross at all times when you ask Me to do so, you need not be afraid of breaking down under the burden which I have placed upon you for your own sake. Call upon Me in your adversary and I will always be ready to help .... Believe in Me, and the strength of your faith will banish it in an instant .... And realise that you will only suffer if your faith is too weak .... Therefore make an effort and constantly pray for a strong faith and you will overcome every adversity and your end will be a blessed one ....

Amen

Loving Fatherly Words ....

B.D. 0723 from December 26th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

The fullness of My grace will be granted to you so that you can fulfil your task on earth, providing you are fully committed to coming close to Me and to keeping My commandments. You do not realise that I only await your return into the Father’s house in order to accept you with much love and that I want to help you where your strength is failing .... You have in Me the most faithful friend, the most loving Father and most watchful Protector for your life on earth. And you can hand yourselves over to My protection without qualms if only you feel that you are your Father’s children and grant Me your heart for time and eternity. During the time of My return to earth you will all receive an abundance of blessings, for I Am so close to all those who desire Me, that they feel My presence .... Oh, you should all make yourselves worthy of My presence .... do not let Me court your heart and love in vain, but open your hearts instead in order to receive Me .... Allow Me to enter when I want to take abode in your hearts. And from that moment on your way of life will be blessed, for where I dwell grief and worries are banished, because I protect My Own who have recognised Me. Every right thought, every will inclined towards Me results in an abundance of My grace. I want to strengthen your faith and increase your willingness to love and open your spiritual senses for everything that comes from above .... Because I love you, My children, I want to save your soul for eternity .... One day I would like to make all beatitudes accessible to you and therefore want to guide you into true realisation.

Amen

Grace .... Spiritual vision .... Blissful state ....

B.D. 1585 from August 27th 1940, taken from Book No. 25

It is like a revelation when the human being allows the divine grace to take effect in him, when he pays attention to the influx of the divine spirit in his heart and all earthly burden falls away from him. The soul detaches itself from the body's shackle and accepts the spiritual gift from above. It looks into the spiritual kingdom, it lives in a different world, and what it receives is living, utterly true spiritual knowledge. It is its nourishment and therefore indispensable for its spiritual wellbeing. And so it remains the most glorious gift on earth to be granted this grace, and if the human being desires it he will have overcome the obstacles of life on earth, for he will never relinquish this delectable gift for earthly pleasures. He will never want to distance himself from it again once he has gained an insight into the kingdom of light. His previous earthly path had lacked light despite earthly pleasures, for they had never completely satisfied his longing. But now all suffering has become bearable for him, because the heavenly Father's love compensated him a thousand-fold and offered him a far more glorious gift than Earth will ever be able to offer him. And yet very few people strive for this most precious gift. Their souls must first attain a degree of maturity which allows them to perceive these glories consciously, since a still very earthly-minded soul lacks the sensitivity for spiritual glories. The spiritual kingdom could be visibly opened up, but the soul would perceive very little of it because the thick layers still surrounding the soul will prevent it from gaining an insight into the spiritual realm. And so, this happiness-inducing state can only be experienced by people who have already dissolved their covers, whose heightened sensitivity also enables them to recognise what their physical eyes cannot see. This ability can be developed to the point of clearest vision, it is possible for the soul to see through everything of a material nature and only behold the spiritual substance, and therefore nothing will be a secret for it anymore, it will be able to behold even that which is deeply hidden, and the human being will live with a perceptive heart if he has so shaped his soul that its spiritual eye can see everything and impart it to the person. You will only understand the grace of such conscious immersion in the spiritual kingdom when you have entered this kingdom yourselves, devoid of all covers, radiant and aglow with the deepest love for your Creator, Who has prepared the most glorious things for you and wants to bestow them upon all His children ....

Amen

Fatherly Words of comfort ....

B.D. 3565 from October 2nd 1945, taken from Book No. 45

He who feels weak in spirit should come to Me, I will give him strength .... he whose faith is in danger of wavering should call upon Me and I will revive his faith again .... I want to lift him up again through My Word so that he will become spiritually and physically so strong that he will overcome all obstacles which discourage him. I will nourish and refresh him and he will certainly feel the strength of My manna from Heaven in him by confidently fulfilling his earthly duties and lifting his heart up to Me in prayer more often. Taking refuge in Me will always lift him up, for no-one comes to Me in vain, no-one knocks at My door without it being opened, and no-one who desires a gift will walk away from Me with empty hands. But I especially consider the spiritual hardship and in order to resolve it I often let people take difficult paths so that they will learn to recognise Me and request My help. However, anyone who comes to Me of his own accord, who accepts Me as his daily Advisor, who does not start anything without having prayed for My blessing first, who opens himself for My influx of strength through prayer and kind-hearted activity daily and hourly, who therefore lives consciously and works at improving his soul, will constantly be cared for by Me and be able to confidently leave his spiritual and earthly wellbeing to Me .... he will not be harmed, even if he is assailed by earthly adversity in order to test his faith. The path to Me is always open and the bridge is, at all times, the prayer, the heartfelt contact with Me and the call upon My name .... Then you will always receive an answer, your adversity will always be remedied as soon as you merely believe firmly and confidently and place your trust in Me. I Am aware of your every problem and worry and always know how to remedy the situation, yet you should believe in order to recognise the strength of faith when you receive help. Let Me be in control and only consider your souls so that they won't live in want, for this is entirely up to your own will, whereas I will take care of the body if you believe in Me and consciously strive towards Me. And therefore, always come to Me if you labour and are heavily laden, I will give you rest .... I have given you this promise and I will truly keep it, you will never call upon Me in vain if you suffer adversity of body and soul, I Am always willing to help because I love you for all eternity ....

Amen

Comforting Fatherly Words ....

B.D. 3485 from May 22nd 1945, taken from Book No. 45

Bring all your worries to Me, I want to listen to you and help .... Prove your faith in Me by coming to Me and imploring Me for help .... Show your helplessness by humbly approaching Me in prayer, then you will acknowledge Me as your eternal Father Who wants to help and is able to do so. If you therefore believe that My love will not let you remain in adversity then I indeed can help you, for I require your faith in Me if My strength is to become effective in you. If you confide your worries to Me, you will be My children who I will look after like a Father .... Therefore, don't be frightened and disheartened if clouds cast a shadow over you but know that My sun of grace will always shine for you and you will never call upon Me in vain .... Just let Me be in control and meekly endure the place I have assigned to you; don't let any doubts in Me, or of My love, arise and only pay attention to My Word which comforts and strengthens you in every situation in life .... And nothing will be able to depress you, regardless of what comes upon you. Let Me speak to you in the Word by making heartfelt contact with Me and speaking to Me first, and then hand yourselves over to the influence of My Word .... And it will always refresh and comfort you, it will answer your every question, it will make My presence perceptible to you and your faith will be strengthened, as I have promised, since My Word is blessed with My strength which flows to everyone who accepts it with a hungry heart and desires to hear Me ....

Amen

B.D. 3487 from May 26th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

All those of you who view the future with concern have a strong Helper by your side to Whom you can faithfully entrust yourselves, providing you want to accept His help .... I Myself will guide and protect you from all danger of body and soul, if only you will choose Me as your Guide. Turn to Me, call upon Me in your adversity, take refuge in Me whenever you are in danger, and firmly believe that I will help you, that I will not leave you in distress and that I will direct everything such that it will be beneficial for you .... Then you will be able to look forward to every day without worry, all troubles will disappear into nothingness, a solution can always be found and, time and again, My help will be recognisable. Don't hide yourselves from Me, instead, bring all your problems to Me .... look for Me so that I can let Myself be found .... Don't keep your distance from Me but desire My presence and I will always be with you and never leave you again, regardless of what happens. And believe that the Word I gave you is truth when I promised that no prayer will touch My ear without being granted if you profoundly believe in Me and have limitless trust in Me. Don't weaken in your faith, but time after time envisage that I love you like a father loves his children whom he will not deny any wish if it does not harm them .... Give yourselves to Me as My Own with everything that is dear to you and I will direct your destiny such that you will not go short, I will guide you through all dangers and shape your life on earth so that it will be endurable for you .... Just do not forget Me and My kingdom .... Let your thinking be spiritually inclined, lift your eyes up to Me and always carry Me in your heart; enter into dialogue with Me, remain so intimately connected to Me and I will tend to you, both in a spiritual and earthly way. Nothing shall trouble you, for I will look after you and this truly in the right way .... because My love for you is unchangeable and I always keep My protective hand over those of you who want to be My Own and strive to fulfil My will ....

Amen

Comforting Fatherly Words ....

B.D. 5616 from March 8th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

I Am truly quite close to you even when you feel abandoned by Me .... I will not forget you, I merely often keep Myself concealed in order to make you call for Me .... for you shall not forget about Me. Your mental contact with Me has a really miraculous effect on your soul, and that is what I want to provide your soul with. Therefore you should not become half-hearted in your longing for Me, you must think of Me time after time, because then you will become receptive and draw My flow of strength to you, which goes to all those who establish a bond with Me. This is why you will also experience hours of depression, when you are scared by adversity and look to Me for help. And you will not ask in vain, for if you call upon Me I will listen to you and give to you what you require .... My presence, which always signifies help for you. All fear and worry are truly unnecessary as long as you are permitted to approach Me in thoughts or through kind-hearted activity. I Am not distant from you, and even if I were, your call for My presence would truly be the best means to assure you My company, for I comply with every desire of the heart, because only a faithful heart would call Me and I will never disappoint it. Every one of your thoughts draws Me to you as long as it is positively inclined towards Me. Consequently, no adversity would have to exist on earth, you would be able to banish all worries by simply calling upon Me and presenting your anguish and problems to Me, because I can and want to help you if you entrust yourselves to Me. And your trust manifests itself in your mental contact with Me, in the hope you place in Me as your Father Who loves His children and therefore will not leave them in trouble. Don't forget about Me .... always remain mentally in contact with Me and I will always be present for you, and wherever I Am there will be no adversity, wherever I Am there will always be a Helper Who is able to banish all adversity ....

Amen

Comforting Words ....

B.D. 1923 from May 18th 1941, taken from Book No. 28

Listen to the Word of comfort: remain courageous and strong in pain, do not waver in your faith, take refuge in prayer and do not deem yourselves abandoned, even if your world threatens to fall apart .... Faith moves mountains, and what seems impossible to you is made possible through firm faith, and if you call upon Me for help with full confidence, your prayer will not remain unanswered. Each person’s path of life is predestined, thus he must travel it because the maturing of his soul depends on it. He would certainly travel this path willingly and gladly were he to know its necessity and the agonies in the beyond if he were spared this path on earth. Therefore never consider your earthly afflictions, for they will pass. Consider the infinitely long time in eternity, which would be far more painful without the suffering the human being has to endure on earth. And thus do not let yourselves become depressed by suffering and sorrow, instead, become stronger in faith for Me Who loves you and therefore often must painfully intervene in your life in order to save you for eternity. Never forget that I Am your Father, your friend, your brother and protector .... And come to Me with all your problems, hand yourselves willingly and without resistance over to My guidance and you will truly be guided well. Just do not let doubts torment you, counter them with profound faith and hope .... because My Word is truth, and if I promise you My help, you need not be afraid.

Amen

Kind Fatherly Words of comfort ....

B.D. 5057 from February 8th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Look up to Me in every adversity and don't abandon yourselves to anxious thoughts which inhibit your spiritual striving, which weaken you and make you waver because you are effectively captivated by the material world. All earthly worry is superfluous providing you recognise your Father in Me to Whom you can turn with all earthly problems with complete confidence. Always bear My great love in mind, think of yourselves as standing within this abundance of love and know that no hardship exists which I cannot master and that I will provide you with everything you ask for to enable you to be of service to Me without worry. I always have an open ear for your requests and problems, and I will never let you call in vain because I want you to have a living faith to enable you to experience the strength of such faith. I want to help you and I will help you .... And if you firmly believe this, you will banish all adversity yourselves and join Me ever more intimately, which is My intention, so that you will stand firm and full of strength when the time of adversity comes upon you, which is inevitable for the whole of humanity. Seek help from Me at all times and look up to Me with absolute confidence, and My help will be obvious, because I took everything from you in order to provide for you without limitation ....

Amen

Fatherly Words .... 'Ask, and it shall be given to you ....'

B.D. 2516 from October 17th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

Faithfully entrust everything to Me that weighs you down .... Admittedly, I know all your difficulties, I know all your problems, yet you shall find your path to Me, you shall come to Me like children to the Father and appeal for His support, and I will help you .... And therefore you should not worry for I will take all your worry upon Myself if you ask Me to do so .... How weak is your trust, how weak your faith in My love, when you doubt that your prayers will be granted .... Ask, and it shall be given to you .... This is the promise I gave you, and you, who are of little faith, shall restore your weak will in this promise; bear in mind that My Words are the purest truth and that they must come true, and thus you should present your petitions to Me without doubt, so that I, as your loving Father, can give to you according to your faith. I only look at the strength of your faith, and this is also the guarantee that your prayer will be granted. If, however, your faith is shallow, the prayer you send to Me will not be as profound and heartfelt as is required for Me to answer it. For I do not pay attention to the words but certainly to your devotion to Me a profound faith causes. I only read the mirror of your soul and know your depth of faith and how heartfelt your prayer is. And where such heartfelt prayer can be heard I Am always willing to help. Faithful trust in the answer to your prayer will therefore always lead to the right result, for I will never disappoint a person's strong faith. But I will certainly bless those who always remember My promise and present all their worries and difficulties to Me. My love will prove itself to them, for they will attain everything from Me. However, as long as they still waver in faith I will retain the answer to their prayer, for I want them to join Me with all their heart and confide everything to Me. Weak faith, however, prevents a sincere connection with Me. But I want to be recognised as a loving Father Who will not let His child remain in adversity ....

Amen

Fatherly Words .... Return to the Father's house ....

B.D. 1542 from July 28th 1940, taken from Book No. 25

Become as little children so that you will be able to enter into My kingdom. Trustingly hand yourselves over to your Father in Heaven and let Him take care, and His love will make your path across earth easier. This is why the admonition goes out to all of you to bear Me in mind wherever you go, for only if you call upon Me can I help you such that you will recognise My help and only then can I remove your worries. The path you had to travel was long and, with your life on earth, it shall now come to an end. If you want to be totally united with Me at the end of the path you must already yearn for My presence before the end, you must long for the Father like children, you must desire My nearness with all your heart and it must be your innermost requirement to communicate with Me in spirit and in truth. Never believe that I Am out of reach for even one of My earthly children, you must always and in all places be aware of My loving care with solid trust and therefore come to Me with every request so that I can grant you My Fatherly love and guard and care for you like underaged babes. For you are in truth My children whom I long for; I yearn for your return into the Father's house, I do not let anything fall which comes from Me and bears My spirit within itself. I live and suffer with you, and I long for your release. And if you thus bring Me your heart, you will entitle Me to take the shackle off you, for you will be offering your will to Me and that will signify release from the control of the one who is to blame for your apostasy from Me. And the moment of liberation from his power is the moment of unity with Me, for I draw every child to My heart which voluntarily detaches itself from this power .... which longs for Me and acknowledges Me as its God and Father .... so that it will forever remain close to Me. A murmuring is going around the world, My love is seeking to attract all beings, it knows the willing earthly children and draws them to itself .... For I instruct My messengers to impart strength to those of good will, and this flow of strength enlivens them; in a manner of speaking, it releases the earthbound beings and enables them to hear the gentle voice which is the expression of My love for them and which sounds wherever the heart wants to perceive the voice and thus wants to let itself be permeated by My love. I continuously consider My Own, I will not let this spring run dry as long as they desire it, I will never ever disappoint My earthly children's faithful trust by leaving them without assistance if they require it and call upon Me for help. And anyone who desires My love will feel it in his heart, for I will be with Him and work in him and through him .... For this is My gift, that I permeate those with strength who wholeheartedly turn to Me .... so that they will already feel the bliss of unity with Me in earthly life and strive for nothing else but the fulfilment of their most ardent yearning of being forever united with Me ....

Amen
