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.

"I will pour out My spirit on all flesh ...."

B.D. 4905 from May 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, and servants and maids will prophesy .... I will draw your attention to the time of the end, when these words of Mine will be fulfilled .... The cornucopia of My grace will be poured out, for My spirit reveals Itself to all who allow Me to work in them. On servants and handmaidens I will pour out My spirit .... all who are willing to serve Me shall be taught by Me directly, they shall hear My words and proclaim the coming time. The prophecies of ancient seers and prophets will be repeated by seers and prophets of the last days, for they, too, see in spirit how it will come, they see the approaching end, humanity's great spiritual adversity, and they give themselves as mouthpieces for Me, they prepare themselves as vessels into which My spirit can flow so that they can brightly and clearly see what has been determined since eternity. My spirit thus works in those people .... When I ascended to heaven the work was accomplished .... death was overcome, the darkness of spirit was broken through, the ray of light from above was able to penetrate and My spirit was able to fill people who believed in Me. The connection had been established between heaven and earth, between the spiritual and the earthly kingdom, there was a bridge from one to the other which infallibly leads to Me, for anyone who allows My spirit to work is entitled to My eternal fatherly love, as My child he is the father's heir.

But the outpouring of the spirit was little recognized by people, it was regarded as a one-off Pentecostal manifestation, as a visible confirmation of the mission of My apostles who spoke in all tongues and were therefore filled with My spirit. The working of the spirit, however, is not a one-off, for My promise is: "Whoever believes in Me, out of his body will flow rivers of living water ...." With these words I announced the outpouring of the spirit on every human being who believes in Me and lives out of this faith as it is My will .... I pour My spirit into every receptive and willing heart which has prepared itself as a vessel well suited to let My spirit flow into it. Only a few people have experienced this process themselves, only a few people are so devout that I can work directly on and in them. And that is why humanity knows nothing of the meaning of these words, of the meaning of the outpouring of the spirit. In the end time, however, they will be made aware by the fact that the outpouring of the spirit will obviously take place, which is recognizable through prophetic indications of the end, through indications which only confirm what ancient seers and prophets have prophesied. Servants and handmaidens will be awakened, i.e. they will voluntarily place themselves in My service and now be filled by Me with My spirit; they will make My working in themselves possible through their will, which is entirely meant for Me, and thus they will be able to be active as My apostles of the last days and proclaim the gospel, the last end and My coming in the clouds. I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh .... Many will be able to hear My voice when the last end is near. But for the time being there are only a few who unite with Me so intimately that they will be able to hear Me. Yet all of them have been assigned a mission by Me: to be active on My behalf for Me and My kingdom. These few will feel the calling within themselves and therefore they will not shy away from voicing what My spirit announces to them .... they are not afraid to announce the last judgment and to a certain extent repeat the prophecies of the old seers and prophets

(29.5.1950). Thus they speak influenced by My will, their spirit perceives what is to come and the mouth speaks out what the spirit perceives and conveys to the human being's soul. He is filled by My spirit, otherwise hidden things are revealed to him, he foresees what is coming upon humanity and, in his urge to help his fellow human beings, he communicates to them what he has seen in the spirit .... and servants and maids will prophesy .... I pour out My spirit upon all flesh without distinction of gender, because everyone who wants to serve Me and consciously strives towards Me can be certain of the awakening of his spirit, of the flowing through of My strength of love, and this will obviously manifest itself before the end. What My disciples spoke at the outpouring of the spirit will also now be proclaimed by those who are awakened by the spirit, for My spirit remains the same, My spirit guides you humans into knowledge, My spirit introduces you to knowledge which you should pass on again to those who are not enlightened by My spirit. The feast of the outpouring of the spirit shall not only be a reminder that My disciples spoke in foreign tongues, but it shall be a constant reminder to you to also shape your heart in such a way that I can pour out My spirit upon all flesh. Furthermore, it shall make you remember My promise from which you can see that not only My disciples were receptacles of My spirit but that all people can be; that all people, impelled by My spirit, can speak if they truly want to be servants and handmaidens to Me, if they want to serve Me, because people's spiritual hardship requires servant help. My spirit will make it known to them what they are to say, and you can believe them even if they announce the approaching judgment to you and thus appear as seers and prophets in order to save you humans from eternal ruin. For now it is fulfilled as it is written: "I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh, and servants and maids will prophesy and young men will have bright dreams ...." I Myself appear in an extraordinary way because people are threatened by great spiritual adversity and because every person who applies for My help can experience the working of My spirit within himself so that the great spiritual adversity will be remedied ....

Amen

Disclosure of prophecies

Divine revelations oblige .... near end ....

B.D. 4943 from July 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

To be taught the truth by Me is a gift of grace which also obliges. Anyone who is richly blessed by Me should give away of his possessions to his neighbour, otherwise he is not worthy of My love and grace. And anyone who is showered with My grace is always willing to share himself and make his fellow human beings happy, just as he himself is happy. Whoever receives My gift of grace also stands in love and passes on what he receives. From this it follows that when I reveal Myself .... for My revelations are extraordinary gifts of grace .... I also want them to be spread because they are of immense value for the soul's development. Understand, you humans, that My word is the surest means for you to achieve your aim on earth of becoming perfect. Thus My word must not be disregarded, the living water must not dry up in the sand but a riverbed must be created for it, it must continue to flow so that many can refresh themselves with the water of life which flows from the fountainhead of My love. When I reveal Myself to a person it means that I give him proof of My existence and My bond with the person who longs for Me in his love, I reveal Myself to him, I let him become aware of My presence, as it were, I make Myself known to him .... But anyone who has recognized Me himself also gives testimony of Me to his fellow human beings, and this is what every revelation is intended to do .... to awaken or strengthen faith in Me. And since I wrestle for the souls of all My living creations, since I want to win everyone for eternal life, all people shall also gain knowledge of Me, they shall know that the eternal deity expresses Itself to every person, because all are children of Its eternal love. Therefore, every revelation on My part shall be mentioned, and fellow human beings shall believe in it or not according to their way of life, because the soul's ascent is a matter of free will .... He who receives much shall also distribute much. If the recipient of My word is now destined for a teaching activity, the measure of grace will be inexhaustible, for now he is active as a mediator between Me and people, he has a mission to fulfil, to pass on extensive knowledge, the spreading of which has now become necessary in order to reduce the great spiritual hardship. This knowledge concerns the purification of My already very educated teaching and, at the same time, the plight of people who live on this earth during the last days and are in a pitiable state due to their lack of knowledge, who, due to a way of life which contradicts My will and due to misguided thinking, are in utmost danger of being lost in the end for eternal times. By conveying the truth and through admonitions and warnings still willing people can be guided onto the right path, and this is the mission of the one who is taught by Me, who is the mediator between Me and people through the inner word. For this reason the knowledge which this mediator receives comprises for the first time the pure gospel, the unadulterated teaching of love, which I Myself, as the man Jesus, brought to people on earth in order to lead them back from the path of ruin they were walking on to the path of salvation. The gospel shall be proclaimed to people again as purely as it once came forth from Me, and therefore I must send My word from above to people again, they must receive it directly from Me, albeit conveyed through the mouth of a human being, because the presently educated teaching is used as My adversary's means and therefore causes more harm than spiritual success for the soul. I know how necessary it is to convey the pure truth to people, and I bless everyone who, in the last days before the end, as My true disciple, as an apostle of the end time, supports the spreading of the pure teaching, who wants to fight against error and lies and makes himself available to Me for this purpose. And thus the transmission of the pure gospel to earth through the inner word is a great revelation of Myself, for I Myself am the word, and whatever emanates from Me must also testify to Me as what I am. My word is recognizable to everyone who wants to recognize it .... But furthermore, the end is near .... And I want to announce this to people through seers and prophets. Therefore I need people again who, driven by My spirit, repeatedly present to their fellow human beings that the last time has come. They do not speak for themselves, they speak on My behalf, as My messengers, and this mission is also important, for people are to be disturbed from their rest and pointed to the future, which is decisive for eternity for every individual. My servants on earth will not have much success, nevertheless they shall be restlessly active and not miss any opportunity to mention My extraordinary working, My revelations. They shall make use of every day as industrious labourers in the vineyard of the lord, for time is pressing. The end is near, so near that you cannot believe it. Therefore call out to each one: Work and do while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work.

Amen

Forwarding prophetic word ....

B.D. 6776 from March 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

When the signs of the end will make themselves felt, then also those will remember your words who opposed you before .... And this is My purpose when I constantly instruct you to pass on My word, to inform everyone of what is about to happen. As long as their lives are still monotonous they will not take your words seriously either, but they will think back to them when unusual phenomena occur of which you have already spoken before .... Doubts and unbelief will often chase away their thoughts again, which seriously try to deal with it, but again the events will not fail to have an effect, and then it will still have been achieved that they will try to explain everything to themselves with a higher force and are already prepared for the great adversity and the difficult time which lies ahead of you all. And so you know that I only exhort you to diligent vineyard work so that many shall still take notice of these announcements, even if they don't believe in them. Bear this knowledge to all who cross your path and do not be offended if they mock or blaspheme you. This knowledge cannot be spread in any other way than through people, and it must always be left up to them whether they want to accept it or not. You should only ever tell them that you are only relieving yourselves of a divine task when you speak to them, that they are not forced to believe but that they should also once entertain such thoughts that a quick end is imminent for all people .... And even if they listen to you unwillingly, the thoughts of your words will haunt them or also suddenly come to their consciousness when unusual phenomena are reported. And something is preparing itself .... because everything comes true which I let proclaim to people through seers and prophets .... And don't become fickle yourselves when the days seem to pass by in peace and quiet; sooner than you think the day will come when there will be great lamentation amongst people. And much seed can still spring up where the ground has not been entirely stony. I don't have many workers on earth who know My plan of salvation, before whom I have spread it out in order to find capable helpers on earth for a work which can only be carried out by people .... But these few are initiated into My plan of salvation and also recognize the necessity of an intervention on My part, and in this realization they shall also draw their fellow human beings' attention and pretend to be My messengers, My servants who only carry out their lord's order .... they, being in My service, should not fear people, they should speak without fear what I Myself have communicated to them, and they should be firmly convinced that I also stand by My word .... that everything will come about as I have announced to those who are to speak in My stead on earth. And even if people smile pityingly because of your faith that you are in direct contact with Me .... One day they will freeze because of their unbelief. I call all of you to this work who receive knowledge of My word, for opportunities will always present themselves to all of you where you can mention it, which you learn through My word .... For this, too, is still a last means of salvation which, however, is not compulsory again. Whatever will come has been planned from eternity, it is included in My plan of salvation and determined by My love and My wisdom. And therefore you, My servants on earth, can spread My announcements with complete conviction, you need not fear that you will be punished with lies one day, for the eternal truth Itself conveys this knowledge to you, and the eternal truth Itself instructs you to inform your fellow human beings of it as well .... For the sake of their salvation I still use such means which make it easy for them to believe but which never restrict people's free will .... For even then they can still give themselves explanations if they don't want to believe ....

Amen

Answer to questions ....

B.D. 7437 from October 26th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Observe all questions arising within you and watch your thoughts corresponding to these questions .... but prior to such thoughts you should always enter into a heartfelt dialogue with your eternal God and Father .... As soon as you contact Me in thought or in prayer and commend your guidance to Me, as soon as you consciously present your questions to Me, you will also receive the answer, for I want you to become enlightened about all issues that occupy your mind. And thus I want you to know that you never need to fear acting against My will as long as you hand everything over to Me .... as long as your will predominantly wants to work according to My will. Then I will also bless everything you undertake in this resolve.

Nowadays addressing people in a remarkable way is not very successful, irrespective of whether I speak Myself from above or through you, My servants on earth .... People do not want to hear what would benefit them spiritually; as a result they reject everything which could disturb their worldly pleasures. In contrast, those who have already received information and knowledge about the things they now hear in total clarity from you can be inspired to greater spiritual activity .... But the world itself will make sure that people are informed about unusual things in the universe, and then there is still time to draw their attention to the spiritual correlation, the success of which again only depends on people's will, for no human being shall be condemned, no human being shall become subject to compulsory faith, which is always a danger when they are offered obvious proof where faith alone should speak.

Humanity is so faithless that it never accepts prophesies as being true, and therefore it is also unwise to convey such prophesies to them .... On the other hand, open-minded people should be informed about what is made known through seers and prophets .... Then these will do what they can in order to enlighten people, for they can easily pass on and convincingly present to their fellow human beings what they know themselves .... And then there is still enough time to form an opinion about it. But every single person will feel in his heart how he should conduct himself towards his fellow human beings, and he will speak when he feels inwardly urged to do so and keep silent when an inner voice prevents him from speaking .... It is always My will that you contact Me and attentively listen within, and you will clearly and distinctly hear My will ....

Amen

Passing on prophecies ....

B.D. 7993 from September 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The prophetic gift places an obligation on you: to pass on what the prophet receives through My spirit. They are only ever predictions of a spiritual nature, even if they concern forthcoming world events, yet they are always spiritually founded and only ever predicted so that people will spiritually prepare themselves for them; for it is absurd to make earthly arrangements because they are useless, because (if) My will determines otherwise. But people should know that everything that happens is spiritually based and happens or is allowed to happen for the sake of spiritual maturity .... In addition, people should not be affected by revolutionary events unprepared, they should have time and opportunity to spiritually adjust to them and, above all, think of their salvation .... And they should also try to influence their fellow human beings in the same sense, but they will only do so if they themselves believe in what they have received as spiritual transmission. But you will only recognize a true prophet by the fact that he does not instruct people about the future for the sake of earthly gain but that he proclaims My will completely unselfishly, which is thus revealed to him through spiritual foresight. And what I want to proclaim to people in advance shall only ever shake them up in their thinking, it shall cause them to have the right attitude towards Me and the world .... They shall learn to regard the latter as transient and think of their souls more eagerly, they shall not carelessly abandon themselves to everyday life, they shall seriously think about themselves, always in view of a sudden end which those prophets announce in the last days. This is why My prophets of the last days shall be listened to, because they are My messengers whom I Myself send to people in order to admonish and warn them. And thus every prophet also has the constant instruction to mention My announcements and at the same time to point out the unusual grace of My direct address .... And because it is particularly important in the end times that people learn what lies ahead of them, the prophets should also speak without any inhibition about what is coming .... People will not believe it but they will nevertheless keep thinking about it, and that is the purpose of My predictions, so that they will not be completely unprepared for what is coming and that they will then also believe the final predictions when the first prophecies concerning the forthcoming natural event come true, which you are to mention again and again. A true prophet speaks from My spirit, for he does not seek any advantage for himself .... What he proclaims to people will not make them happy, and therefore he will mostly be rejected and ridiculed .... But I Myself will again and again impel him to speak, that is, My spirit will work in him. He will speak wherever the opportunity presents itself. And this will always be the characteristic of a genuine prophet, that he will not strive for earthly advantages and that he will not make use of earthly aids .... that he will speak, impelled by My spirit. For I Myself will put the words into his mouth when he speaks to his fellow human beings who will lend him an open ear; yet it will be difficult to find a hearing with worldly people, for those who are still too attached to the world find it difficult to speak of an end, it is difficult to find belief in them that the world is transient .... It is difficult to induce them to change their way of life, and therefore they will reject everything and also declare the prophets to be untrustworthy. But it comes about as they proclaim it, for they do not speak of themselves but My spirit gives them what they speak, and this spirit does not err .... And therefore remember that there are indeed true and false prophets but that a true prophet will only ever proclaim to you what serves your soul best .... and that you are at the mercy of false prophets when earthly things which serve your physical well-being are predicted to you, which you may never believe, for the time is fulfilled, and I only ever want to admonish and warn you so that you will not experience what is coming unprepared, so that you seriously remember your souls and seek contact with Me. For this alone will guarantee you protection and help in every adversity .... The bond with Me alone assures you My support, whatever may come upon you ....

Amen

The near end demands increased vineyard work ....

B.D. 8072 from January 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 85

Every one of you is reminded to consider the gravity of the time .... No-one among you should take it easy, no-one should believe themselves to have much time left, each one of you who wants to do so shall still work diligently in My vineyard, for everyone's work is needed since it can still result in the salvation of a soul if it is carried out with a loving will to help. I see the many unhappy souls which still linger so far away from Me because they live without faith and only make use of their life on earth in a purely material way .... And I will guide you to wherever I can still see an opportunity to win them over through My Word, that is, I will guide your thoughts and actions such that they will obtain possession of My gift of grace, of My Word, which flows to you from above. Rest assured that you can still greatly contribute towards the redemption of erring souls, you just should not let yourselves become discouraged; you must constantly work and I shall truly give you the strength so that you will be able to work according to My will. And you should also take note of the fact that you will be able to discover a greater will to live and increased self-indulgence the closer it gets to the end .... For people don't believe in an end and thus will uninhibitedly satisfy their wishes and cravings. And it will be just like it was at the time of the Flood: they ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage .... they will live in an exuberant lust for life and the floodgates will be wide open for sin. For My adversary will have predominance and will certainly make use of it ....

And this is the time you are approaching, and everyone who fails to remember Me and does not appeal for My protection and help will be at risk. However, anyone who believes in Me will also turn to Me and he will not go astray .... And anyone who wants to be of service to Me may also experience My special grace .... yet he shall also pay attention to My instructions which will only ever consist of doing redeeming work. And you can do this constantly by referring the people around you to the coming event, by admonishing and warning them, by conveying My Word to them wherever possible. Every such activity will be blessed even if the success is not immediately obvious .... So don't get discouraged if you come across all kinds of opposition; don't stop in your willingness to be a helpful co-worker for Me; consider the great spiritual hardship and carry out redemption work by distributing My Gospel, by spreading My Word, which is greatly effective and can touch those souls which are not yet entirely hardened belong to My adversary. And very soon you will realise the truth of My Word, since you are approaching the end with giant strides .... For the time is fulfilled and it will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

God's language through the elements of nature ....

B.D. 8002 from September 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I expect of you, My servants, total commitment to Me and My kingdom, for people's spiritual hardship necessitates it. Only a short time separates you from the very last end, and whatever can be done for the salvation of the souls shall still be done, for the earth will assimilate everything again which had failed as a human being, and this is an appalling fate which I would like to avert from every individual person. But you yourselves make the final decision in free will. I Myself cannot do anything but admonish and warn you by constantly speaking to you, and everyone who supports Me in this respect will be blessed by Me. And thus the near end should always be mentioned and also the fact that prior to it I will clearly express Myself once more through a powerful natural event .... for it will be My last warning when I speak through the elements of nature to people who didn't want to listen to My Word .... This language cannot be ignored, for people will be horrified when they are confronted by an inconceivably extensive natural disaster that will leave no-one unaffected insofar as the news will reach wherever people live, so that every individual can draw his own conclusions, so that every individual can feel personally addressed by it because the same event can also affect his country and even himself .... This is because people will have to fear a repetition and therefore they all have to brace themselves for a sudden demise. Much suffering and misery will still afflict the earth and yet it is only a means I apply due to love in order to save the souls from ruin, from the appalling fate of a new banishment on this earth.

However, the people affected by the natural disaster, the people who fall prey to it, are not cruelly left at the mercy of their destiny .... Due to their prematurely concluded earthly life they will be granted gifts of grace in the beyond .... They will still have the opportunity to ascend further; they will have the opportunity in the beyond to reach the light which they disregarded on earth .... They won't have to fear the new banishment .... unless they are so obstinate that they will descend into the abyss again as true devils, that they are incorrigible and thus would not have changed on earth for the better either had they stayed alive. And even the effect of the natural disaster on people will differ, for again people will turn to Me in their fear and due to their received help also remain loyal to Me, but equally a strong noticeable apostasy from Me will come to the fore because people won't accept a 'God of love' Who allowed such a work of destruction to take place .... since their dark spiritual state cannot find any other explanation for this occurrence. But a clear voice like that has to resound from above, whether it is recognised as My voice or not, for the end is approaching with giant strides, and even though only a few souls will find their way to Me in their distress it will nevertheless be a gain that they no longer have to take the long process through the creations of the earth again but can enter the kingdom of the beyond where they can also achieve progress which would have been doubtful for them on earth .... and in all probability would have led them into the abyss, or they would have endeavoured towards the abyss.

And I have to impart all this to you, My servants. For you should be forearmed, you should learn to look at all happenings around you only from this point of view, and you should completely give yourselves to Me and as My instruments be always active in My will .... You should let go of all earthly thoughts, hand over your every worry to Me .... even the smallest .... you should become completely absorbed in your vineyard work yet always pay attention to My inner instructions. For overzealousness only causes harm, because wisdom promotes success and wisdom will always be conveyed to you if you totally enter into My will, if you are only the executors of My will. And I know that you, My servants, take your task seriously, and therefore you constantly receive these instructions which you feel in your heart as My loving Words and which you therefore will also comply with for the benefit of your fellow human beings. Oh, if people only knew what awaits them .... Yet they don't believe it when it is proclaimed to them through the mouth of My prophets .... and they cannot be compelled into believing. Nevertheless, the day comes ever closer which will cause a complete change of living conditions .... and blessed is he who will call upon Me in extreme adversity, for I will hear him and grant his request, and he will never ever go astray ....

Amen

Task ....

B.D. 8908 from January 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You still have to accomplish an important task before My intervention occurs, on account of which you will be placed into entirely different circumstances which will make your work for My kingdom more difficult. Yet, prior to this, souls which do not oppose My Word shall still be reached .... they shall learn what is about to happen to humanity even if they doubt it .... the huge event will very soon convince them that you have told the truth. Therefore make it known it to everyone, inform them of this intervention which is coming ever closer and will affect everyone, although the affected country will still remain hidden to you .... I appeal to you to tell all people, to whom you take My Word, about the indication of the immense natural disaster .... It will be necessary for all of them to think about it for once, to feel directly spoken to and, depending on their attitude, be able to draw comfort and strength in the forthcoming time of need. Wherever My Word is proclaimed people shall be informed of it, people everywhere shall be told what is about to happen to them, even if they find it difficult to believe ....

But when the said event takes place, which will come from above .... from the cosmos, which therefore will not have been caused by human will, then they will also believe in the closely following end. For I want to speak to people just once more through this disaster, I want to awaken them from their sleep of death and direct their eyes towards Me, towards the One Whom they can reach through heartfelt prayer .... I want to speak with a loud voice because they pay no attention to My gentle Words .... But I will also take care of those who then still find Me .... And even if they fall victim to the disaster, yet their souls will be saved if they still call upon Me and acknowledge Me as the Power to Which they are subject and have to bow down to. I call on all of you to mention My Words and not to fear that you might worry people, for it is of no avail if they walk blindly into the disaster, which will then take them by surprise and they will be unable to find an explanation for it .... If, however, you tell them in advance what I intend to achieve by it .... if you announce it as certain, then some of them will feel affected by it and .... even if they don't believe it .... will not forget about it. And then they will already know that it is an event which was sent by My will over humanity, and they will know that My Word is truth and thus also believe in the end .... Every attempt has to be made to lead people to believe. And this huge natural disaster, too, can still awaken faith in people who are otherwise no longer approachable and whom I nevertheless still want to win over for Me, even if it is in connection with a great calamity.

However, you are facing the danger of renewed banishment, and if I can still pull souls away from it they will be eternally grateful to Me, for the fate of renewed banishment is far more horrendous .... it will last for eternities, whereas the natural disaster will be over within a night; and although it will be followed by enormous misery every one of you will nevertheless be able to change it into a bearable situation, if only you muster faith in Me. For I Am Lord over life and death, I can also give to you what you need .... just as I can take from you what you are unwilling to surrender voluntarily. And therefore, don't fail to inform your fellow human beings about the forthcoming event, for no one shall say that he didn't know of it .... Only, people will not believe that they are so close to the end, otherwise they would also be able to gather from the Scriptures that a catastrophic event will befall humanity .... But they believe that the time has not yet come when what is written will be fulfilled .... Yet one day the future will become the present, one day the announcements will come true, and this time is close at hand ....

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

Activity after the natural disaster

Blessing of God's servants in their work ....

B.D. 3640 from December 29th 1945, taken from Book No. 46

I bless all My servants on earth if they are active for My kingdom, if they are redemptively active on earth where people are in greatest spiritual adversity. I endow them with strength in order to be able to work for Me, I instruct them so that they can spread the truth, I loosen their tongues as soon as they speak for Me, for My teaching and My name .... Thus I prepare them for their mission which begins after I have manifestly made Myself known to the world, after I have spoken to people with an iron voice which is more or less recognized by them as My voice. Then they will find a large field of work, people who, in earthly adversity and great misery, long for a word of comfort and encouragement, who desire an explanation for the immense event which brings unspeakable suffering and costs many people their lives .... And then you shall give them this explanation, you shall speak for Me and My name, for My teaching, you shall mention the forthcoming end and reproach them for the great spiritual hardship they are in .... you shall preach to them about My love and thus lead them to Me so that they will now turn to Me Myself and desire My help .... And I will bless your activity .... I will give you strength to speak in such a way that you will be successful, I will make their hearts receptive for My word .... I will help them to direct their senses spiritually and speak through you as is beneficial for their souls. For there is only a short time left when you can work unhindered by worldly measures, and you must use this time and be diligently active. The hardship around you will be great but bearable for My servants so that they shall visibly feel My help and grace and proclaim Me and My love. And anyone who listens to them, who allows himself to be instructed in the sincere will to do what is right, his hardship will likewise be obviously alleviated, he will noticeably feel the strength of My word which is conveyed to him through you, for thus I want everyone who is willing to recognize Me. And therefore I need you as My labourers, because human mouths have to proclaim My will, because I cannot manifest Myself where humanity is unbelieving or too weak in faith. I require servants on earth who are strong in faith, who are in contact with Me Myself and constantly fetch strength for their ministry on earth, who are knowledgeable and shall convincingly spread their knowledge to those who desire it, who call for help in physical and spiritual adversity. And I will always bless My servants' work, after all, it is of great urgency for the salvation of erring souls. And therefore try to shape yourselves first so that I can take complete possession of you, so that I will no longer find the slightest resistance if I want to work through you .... Strengthen yourselves constantly through My word, give your soul the nourishment it needs in order to become mature for the acceptance of Myself into your hearts, and then let Me work through you so that a work of salvation can begin before the end which the souls will eternally thank you for, to whom you bring salvation in deepest spiritual hardship ....

Amen

Importance of work for the kingdom of God ....

B.D. 4880 from April 16th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

A sign will be given to you from above when your actual activity is to begin, for you are still only doing the preliminary work of putting yourselves into a state of knowledge and also communicating your knowledge to those who, like you, want to actively participate in the spreading of truth, who are hungry for truth themselves and struggle for it. But your actual activity extends to the giving of the word, which is given to you from above, to all people who step into your path after the great shock they had to experience for the sake of their souls. I will once again sound a great warning cry, and this will be the last before the end .... All who are asleep shall awaken .... but whether they send their eyes upwards or continue to walk along with their eyes averted is up to each individual, yet in the last stretch of their only short life you shall meet them and call out to them that they should walk the path of light and not sink any further into darkness. You should proclaim the gospel to them, yet in its purest form, so that they will not be offended by it, as is now the case due to the many false teachings which are presented to people as the teaching of Christ. You should help them to find the right path, you should lovingly explain to them the cause and purpose of all sorrowful events, you should point them to Me so that they seek contact with Me and take care of all those who are in spiritual hardship, who don't want to believe or cannot believe .... You should speak to them and I will assist you, I will put the words into your mouth so that they will not miss their effect. This work is so immensely important that I will make you suitable for it and also give you the full understanding of what you should do or not do, where you should speak or remain silent and whom you should particularly take care of, because I know the hearts of all those I lead to you. This time still lies ahead of you and I am training you for this work, therefore you will be active in silence for the time being, you will be able to speak in small circles in order to still recruit workers for Me, because I cannot have enough of them in the coming time, for the time of your activity will only be short. And therefore the work shall be tackled with all diligence so that the short time will be fully utilized for the salvation of the erring and the lukewarm, for the salvation of the unbelievers who can attain faith again if only they are of good will. I will call you Myself when your hour has come and you will gladly and joyfully follow My call .... But then no longer worry about earthly things, for every earthly worry is invalid in view of what I send upon people. Then only spiritual work will be of value and importance, for you cannot secure anything earthly; only what I want will remain with you, and that without any worry on your part. Don't look back but only forward, give up everything voluntarily, for I will provide you with everything you need if you are active for Me. But I will bless you and your work for Me and My kingdom .... I will pour out My grace so that hearts will awaken and become receptive to My word .... so that all souls who want to be saved by Me will still be saved ....

Amen

Call to vineyard workers ....

B.D. 6995 from December 16th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

You still have much work to do for Me and My kingdom, for the time still lies ahead of you when your work will only really begin because the earthly adversity will be very great and then people will also be more receptive to My word which you shall bring to them. But before that much small work has to be done, which consists of still calling workers for My vineyard into service, of first instructing them themselves in order to then also be able to be successfully active as My servants. For this service has to be voluntarily rendered for Me, and therefore I address people through you so that those who recognize the father's voice voluntarily offer themselves to Me for help, and then I can also give them a light and make them suitable for the coming task. The world still emerges and therefore there are few who look into the spiritual kingdom .... But the earthly world will suffer a severe blow and so will the people who pay homage to it ..... Much will change in a short time, and this change will nevertheless make some people think, and they will also have an open ear for My servants' speeches, for they will find explanations for otherwise incomprehensible events. And then their actual mission will also begin at this time, for which I have trained you and am still training you, because then you shall also give your fellow human beings the right comfort and advice which will benefit their souls. People are blind in spirit because they only think of their own well-being and have no eye for their fellow human being's adversity .... But when the general adversity will start through My will, through a natural event of the most momentous kind, then some people will also let themselves be softened and be willing to help, and I will also give them the opportunity to be able to help. And these will also receive a clear light which will shine all the brighter the more they are lovingly active. And much new ground will be opened up, fallow fields will be cultivated and sown with good seed. And this is the last time of work in My vineyard, the last sowing, which shall still bring forth abundant fruit, but for which I also still need many willing and faithful servants, because very little time remains for the last harvest work before the end. Therefore you should not grow tired and weary and not believe that your work is in vain because you now see little success .... The tiniest seeds you scatter can still take root and sprout because I Myself create the necessary atmosphere .... through a very painful intervention but which can still be a blessing for many souls. And even if people believe that they are approaching a calm and peaceful time, it is only an illusion and overnight the calm will change into turmoil and chaos of an unimaginable kind. For I know the day and the hour but you don't, and only the hint shall suffice that you don't have much time left and therefore have to make good use of the short time. No human being needs to be unprepared, for every person will receive warnings and admonitions but only a few will accept them as credible and adjust their lives so that they can also be suddenly recalled from this earth. A time of adversity will befall the earth which could truly shake everyone's thinking but which will nevertheless leave many people's hearts untouched who are completely under My adversary's control and therefore will do everything in their power to reduce their own state of adversity and do so at the expense of their fellow human beings again, because My adversary impels them into increased unkindness .... And precisely then you, My servants on earth, must step forward and counter My adversary by only ever pointing out to people that they themselves will be helped to the same extent as they are willing to help, and that everyone should help his neighbour if the great adversity is to be alleviated and My visible help is to be given to everyone. You shall also try to justify My intervention to them, and you will also be understood because I Myself address people through you and everyone who is not entirely in My adversary's hands will also recognize My voice and feel touched by it. There is still much work ahead of you but you will be able to accomplish it with My help and My blessing as soon as you are only willing to serve Me and help your fellow human beings as long as there is still a possibility of rescue ....

Amen

Vineyard work after the event .... preparation for this ....

B.D. 7287 from February 19th 1959, taken from Book No. 77

A great deal of work will await you who are active in My vineyard, for the time still lies ahead of you when you will have to use all your strength in order to do justice to the great onslaught which will befall you. For many will demand clarification from you, many will want to know where to look for God when the great event has befallen you which only a few will be able to explain properly. And these few, who previously received clarification from Me Myself, will now have to speak and pass on their knowledge and explain everything to their fellow human beings such that they will be understood and that a wise and loving ruler can also be recognized from all events, in Whom they believe and to Whom they should call for help. There will be great need and therefore many a heart will be open for sermons of this kind .... Individual people will hunger for the word of God, through which alone they will receive enlightenment and which they will also acknowledge as correct knowledge which corresponds to the truth. But this work in the vineyard of the lord will require much good will, much patience and perseverance, for just as many people will be found who will talk back to you and raise so many objections that it will be difficult for you to answer them .... Yet just one thought of Me, one request for My support is already enough that I will now speak through you Myself and you need not worry how you will fulfil your task .... I will put the words into your mouths so that all will receive their answer as it is successful for the individual .... for the believers as well as for those who speak against you. They, too, will be unable to reply to you, they will feel defeated and think about it themselves, if they are not already so deeply in My adversary's grip that he will have the upper hand and people will leave you unwillingly or incite against you .... Then let them go, but take care of those who seek you, whom I also want to address through you Myself, to whom I want to bring My word, so that light will arise in them after the deep darkness before. There is still a time of rest for you where you, My servants on earth, can still carry out your vineyard work calmly and serenely; but it will give way to a time where it is important to seize every opportunity to banish the great, mental, spiritual misery which already lies in the fact that hardly anyone is still able to believe in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence and that this very unbelief means far greater misery for people because they don't know where to turn in their adversity. And helping them to believe again is a great work of love and mercy which you, who receive My word directly from My hand, should carry out. For you are qualified to give your fellow human beings the right enlightenment, you can kindle a light for them, and you can give them comfort and hope that they will be guided by Me Myself if only they call upon Me Myself for help .... And your word will not fall on stony ground, for through My intervention the ground .... human hearts .... is already prepared for the reception of a seed, which you will now be able to scatter abundantly wherever it may be. Then you will also be able to openly come forward and pretend to be My messengers, for no-one will stop you, because the adversity is so great that every blade of hope will be seized and people will willingly listen when you preach about My love, wisdom and might. But it will not be long before you will be forbidden your mission, for soon My adversary's vassals will start to counteract and they will take action against you with great severity, which is why you should then withdraw with great wisdom so as not to endanger and tear down everything you have managed to build up so far. But I will be with My blessing with all who listen to you and are not hostile towards you. But prepare yourselves for this time and gather strength, which you can only draw from My word, for you will need it for everything that is to come, which is planned in love and wisdom and therefore should and can only serve all of you for perfection, for the attainment of the degree of maturity already on earth, if you only recognize Me Myself and My rule and activity in everything, which is only ever based on My love for you ....

Amen

Prepare for the time after the intervention of God

God’s word substitute for earthly loss ....

B.D. 4010 from March 28th 1947, taken from Book No. 49

You have been granted knowledge for earthly life which is intended to compensate you for what you have to give up, for what you have to lose in order to become suitable labourers for Me who have no other will than to serve Me faithfully. It is no longer a long path you still have to travel, yet it is a path full of sacrifice and rich in suffering. And yet, you need not fear as long as you have the grace to receive My word, which will always impart strength to you in order to fight through the difficult battle of life. It is an incomparably more beautiful office to be active for Me than any earthly task can be for you, for success surpasses all earthly happiness and activity. Only you may not turn away from Me, you must always carry Me in your heart and you will also always be blessed by Me. Earthly you certainly don't have to expect an easy fate, yet spiritually you will ascend all the more surely, spiritually you will reach a level which is close to the aim, and one day you will realize the love with which I have guided you and let you go through schools of purification so that you shall become blissfully happy. Always and constantly strengthen yourselves with My word, don't let earthly failures and disappointments depress you, as My labourers always remain certain of My help and love, and it will not be withdrawn from you, it will always be granted to you if you need help. For your faith can banish much that worries you, your faith is able to transform suffering into peace and tranquillity. Yet always bear your cross in submission, for everything that comes upon you is determined by My wisdom and love and truly only for your good, even though you will go empty-handed on earth, yet in return you will exchange spiritual possessions, and these are incomparably more valuable and retain their eternal value. But earthly life passes and with it earthly happiness and earthly wealth. Join Me ever more firmly and it will truly not be to your detriment. And constantly accept My word which imparts rich knowledge to you, for you are rich in possession of this knowledge even though earthly everything has been taken from you. But the fact that I give to you meagrely has a deep spiritual reason, for I need you as labourers for My vineyard, and I know how to win faithful labourers who are only willing to serve Me. And I use all means because I need them in the last time before the end and because the end is not far off ....

Mission readiness .... prediction ....

B.D. 4308 from May 21st 1948, taken from Book No. 51

In My name you shall be active .... This necessitates a complete detachment from earthly things, and thus My servant's path on earth must always lead more and more away from the world, the internalization must increase and thus result in the increased working of the spirit. And this will always be connected with trials and renunciation so that the soul will detach itself more easily and only strive for more spiritual contact, so that it will mature in realization, in knowledge which corresponds to truth and which is conveyed to it through spiritual activity. If this is therefore understandable to you, you must also recognize from the increasing adversity and distress that the hour has soon struck when you should be active for Me and My kingdom. You must keep yourselves ready and pay attention to My word that you are close to the end, that the time of your overall activity is only short and that I will soon appear and initiate the last act, as it is foretold through My spirit. Report all this, for the hour is near, keep reminding your fellow human beings that I constantly point you to this day so that they will see when it comes, as I have proclaimed. And take every word seriously, for I have chosen you to be My representatives on earth, and you should firmly and steadfastly believe that everything will come true and that My plan has been determined since eternity. Through your faith you shall influence people such that they will also seriously consider a sudden change of their situation, that they will think about a quick end and seriously prepare themselves for it. And if you make My word heard to them, never forget to encourage them to increase their activity of love so that they will be able to recognize and believe the truth of My word .... Love must always and constantly be preached to them, through loving activity they must gain strength if they are weak, and through loving activity alone they can become enlightened, thus they know the meaning and purpose of their earthly existence and their relationship as living creations to the eternal creator. They will never attain this knowledge intellectually, but a life of love gives them fullest realization. Time is pressing and therefore your mission is to be taken seriously, and you must not miss anything if you want to serve Me. But I assure you once again that you will be guided and that no path you take is of your own will, for great things are at stake, the final willingness to help is at stake, which you are still to bring to many erring souls, and I will lead you to those who need your help. And thus you can confidently hand yourselves over to My guidance until the end of your body, which will not be long in coming. For the time until the end is short and therefore it shall be used for eager activity for Me, and I will support you where and when you need help and give you strength to be constantly active for Me ....

Amen

Inner voice difficult to hear .... Turmoil - silence ....

B.D. 4378 from July 17th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You will always hear My voice if you hand yourselves over to Me and, with a desire to hear My Word, attentively listen within. I have always given you this assurance and will never withhold with My gift of grace if you sincerely desire it. Yet as long as My voice is not audibly heard by you but only affects you mentally and thus requires full attention and seclusion from the world it will depend on yourselves as to whether you will hear it. This is why I draw your attention to the forthcoming time which will make such great demands on you that only the strongest resolve will be able to manage to withdraw itself and listen to My voice in seclusion. The adversity of the forthcoming time will often deprive you of your inner tranquillity, even though I will help every labourer to fulfil his task if he is willing to serve. I Am always close to you and if you, despite utmost distress, stay aware of My presence, you will always hear My voice too, for then your faith will be stronger than your earthly hardship, which you will banish anytime. Yet I want to draw your attention to the fact that you can expect considerable turmoil which will restrain your every thought with the effect that it will be difficult for you to make contact with Me .... But then read My Word, draw strength from My Word, and you will noticeably feel that I Am close to you ....

Keep trying to retreat within yourselves and, in seclusion, listen to the voice of your heart, and you will succeed if your will and your desire for Me is powerful. But first draw strength from My Word, use the time, don't become half-hearted and indifferent but believe that great danger lies in wait for you, that you will be shaken out of your worldly tranquillity and that a large world event is in the making. Always rely on My help and you will never call to Me in vain, for I will answer you who, as My children, call upon the Father in your time of need ....

Amen

Ability of God's servants to see through people .... sharp judgement ....

B.D. 4434 from September 16th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You will recognize the spirit of the one who turns away from Me, for all signs will be noticeable to you as soon as a person is not united with Me in love. And thus you will not be deceived by the words his mouth utters to conceal his true feelings. You will find little understanding if you hold spiritual conversations, you will be able to detect disbelief towards all predictions and also towards those teachings which are intended to contribute towards explaining the difficult time of suffering. For anyone who is distant from Me lives too much in earthly life and does not find any spiritual explanation credible, he does not live in contact with the spiritual world and his thoughts are little influenced by knowing forces because he does not grant them access. You will always recognize such people and find little appeal, and no matter how much they listen to you, you will still have little success, little will to pay attention to My word by living it out. And thus they will not be able to convince themselves of the truth of My word either, and the spiritual success will be zero. Yet you should therefore not grow weary and not take offence at the fact that you are not listened to as My word requires .... Your vision will become sharper, you will be able to judge the individual person's level of development, you will gain the ability to see through a mask and thus not be deceived by beautiful words or a pious nature, because nothing escapes your gaze and you know full well how the connection with Me and a life of love affects a person's nature. Moreover, only a few will be true listeners and doers of My word, but the majority will be indifferent towards My gift from above, otherwise the spiritual low would be remedied very quickly. But where the will is lacking there is little success. Nevertheless, I instruct you to mention what I offer you so that no-one will be able to say that he was not warned, for only through the word can the spell be broken, only through the word from above can the human being be prompted to think and guided onto a different path. The word itself possesses strength but requires the human being's will in order to take effect; and where My word .... the emanation of Myself .... remains without impression, there is truly no other means unless great earthly adversity causes a person to establish the bond with Me through prayer. Then I will approach the person once again through visible help and make Myself known to him. And then My word will no longer remain without impression. Therefore spread it everywhere, for the great adversity is inevitable, and what the word cannot accomplish can still create adversity, and you humans will bless it if you have still found Me through it ....

Amen

Decay of earthly goods .... giant steps towards the end ....

B.D. 4793 from December 6th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

The end is approaching with giant strides, and if you knew how close it is you would spend all your time for your souls, if you even believe in the soul's life after death. Yet you still turn your eyes to the world, that is, everything earthly still moves your mind too much and you take care of your physical well-being where the soul needs your care much more. You don't really believe in the end yet, and that is what makes your spiritual striving weaken. You still doubt the truth of My word, and therefore you are not quite suitable for spreading My word as long as the world still holds you captive. But the world's goods are not permanent .... Let these words pass through your mind, for you will very soon experience the confirmation, you will very soon see earthly possessions deteriorate and realize how futile the world is, and thus the worldly people also enjoy their possessions. But you, who want to be My servants, detach yourselves in your heart from everything that belongs to the world. Look upwards more and more often and desire spiritual goods, for they alone are enduring, and anyone who possesses spiritual goods need not fear earthly decay. His wealth cannot be taken from him even though he loses everything on earth. Therefore, try to increase your spiritual wealth, don't worry about earthly needs, start the day with thoughts of Me and also end it like that, and often have a conversation with Me, Who can distribute spiritual wealth to you and also sustain your earthly life. How many worries do you cause yourselves unnecessarily which I can and will remedy if only you believe in My love. I will give you the evidence of what I announce to you and then you will remember the unused opportunities you let pass by because of your weak faith. Only take care of your souls and thereby make yourselves My charges whose bodily worries I take over. Don't pay attention to the world, for it keeps you from spiritual striving, it deprives you of the strength for spiritual work, it withdraws you who have already partly overcome matter .... Don't let yourselves be taken captive by the world, for it will soon have ceased to exist for the people of the present time, and what will come after that is determined by you yourselves through your will. Direct your senses spiritually, lift your eyes to Me and prepare yourselves for a great experience which will come as surely as one day follows another .... Soon, very soon, the end will come, but before that I will still show Myself to those who want to believe, and I will speak to everyone in serious language so that they will reflect and prepare themselves for the end which will follow very soon ....

Amen

Disbelief towards the truth bearers ....

B.D. 4841 from February 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

The bearers of truth and representatives of My word on earth will not succeed in convincing people of the truth of what they have received directly from Me through the inner voice. And the process of receiving My word from above is unknown to people, they know neither the cause nor the purpose of this impartation, they are too distant from Me Myself that they have no living faith and therefore consider something impossible, but which is only extraordinary because they are not in the relationship with Me as it should be, and the people who have entered into this relationship are very rare. Hence they are confronted by something entirely alien, they lack the knowledge of the working of the spirit in the human being and reject every explanation about it .... They are unbelievers and call themselves believers. Only a few will be open-minded, and for the sake of these few you should speak and represent the truth wherever possible. Anyone who accepts it will be greatly blessed, anyone who rejects it will one day bitterly regret it, for salvation was close to him but his will is wrong and, since he is free, the truth cannot be conveyed to him in any other way. Nevertheless, you must not become weary, you must not allow yourselves to be distracted if you have little success. As bearers of truth you will know yourselves what people lack and that they cannot be won over in any other way than through instruction. As bearers of truth you will also recognize the attitude of the individual, you will know the degree of maturity and make corresponding efforts or slacken your efforts where you are not accepted. In the last days you will wrestle for every soul, your eyes will be sharpened and you will seize every opportunity to help a lost soul onto the right path, and even if it is only a few that you lead to Me, these few will be saved, they will escape eternal ruin, i.e. they will be spared the infinitely long time of a renewed path through creation. And these souls will thank you eternally. Therefore, be faithful labourers for Me in My vineyard, be eager representatives for Me on earth, because I need every one of you in the last time before the end ....

Amen

To a right servant the judgement of the world shall be worthless ....

B.D. 6160 from January 10th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Do not bow to the world's judgment, do not seek its approval but only ever be anxious to find My approval for everything you think, speak or do .... For the world will always want to influence you contrary to My will, the world will always condemn what is pleasing to Me .... the distance from the world and the spiritual attitude .... For this reason only he can be My right servant who gives nothing to the world's judgment, who only acknowledges Me as his lord and only seeks to fulfil My will. And he will also be able to work successfully for Me and My kingdom, for there will always be people who, like him, turn their backs on the world and are open-minded for spiritual speeches and who can only be won over by such messengers who have withdrawn from the world in order to serve Me .... Even though you, My servants, are still in the midst of the world, all desire for the world's goods must nevertheless have died out in you in order to be able to progress spiritually, in order to be able to devote yourselves to spiritual work without hindrance .... For what still belongs to the world is lost to the spiritual kingdom .... It is impossible to pay homage to both realms at the same time; it is impossible to receive spiritual things when your hands are stretched out towards the world .... They are two quite different realms which man's foot enters whenever his thoughts seek it .... Therefore beware of losing your thoughts to the world .... And be even more careful not to attach importance to the world's judgement, for this will always be derogatory even towards the most precious gift .... because it is not recognized by those who still belong to the world. You will indeed have to pass through the world but you can do so with your eyes turned upwards so that your soul will remain untouched by the lure of the world .... But in the same way you can also direct your gaze towards everything that appears worldly enticing to you, then the world will keep you bound and prevent your soul from flying upwards, and then you will be in danger of striving towards a wrong aim. And even if worldly people are dear to you, if you are united with them in love and friendship .... don't let their judgement determine you to deviate from the spiritual path .... Know that they only speak on behalf of the one who wants to wrest you from Me, that they are unconsciously his servants who work against Me Myself .... Recognize their judgment as wrong and only make an effort to teach them better, and if you do not succeed in doing so, avoid them for the sake of your soul .... Stay on the path you took when your soul ascended into spiritual spheres .... Continue to follow this path, for it alone will lead you to the aim, it alone is the path to Me .... Who am not in the world but in the spiritual kingdom, which can only ever be taken possession of by surrendering the world .... Detach yourselves from the world if you want to find entrance into My kingdom ....

Amen

Struggling for firm faith .... God's presence ....

B.D. 6661 from October 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

In the realization of your own adversity it will not be difficult for you to put yourselves in your fellow human beings' position of need, and your will to help them will grow, just as you now know better the means which will also help them out of their adversity. Therefore you, too, must occasionally be affected by hardship of all kinds so that you will eagerly participate in helping your neighbour if he asks you for it or if his state of need becomes apparent to you. You yourselves also need earthly hardship in order to strengthen your faith in Me as the one Who can and wants to help you. You yourselves need this faith if you want to convincingly refer your fellow human beings to Me who are in the same need, and you should strive to attain this strong faith. As long as you are in adversity your faith is not yet strong enough, for it would no longer burden you as soon as you have handed it over to Me in firm faith .... even if it had not yet been taken from you .... but the confidence that I will bear everything for you which you burden Me with in profound faith in Me will set you free and no longer let you feel any hardship. All My efforts only go towards letting you attain this profound, unshakable faith, because you, My servants on earth, will urgently need it in the forthcoming time and then you will also be able to successfully work for Me in My vineyard. Only ever regard every earthly adversity as a means used by Me to help you gain strong faith .... And strive for such deep, living faith .... which is possible for you at any time if only you awaken the awareness of My presence in you .... if you never think of yourselves as being alone but always accompanied by Me, if you can also adopt the thought that I will not leave your side even in hours of greatest adversity because I always want to have an effect on you from within .... that you therefore pay more attention to My presence than to your suffering .... You must mentally turn to Me and believe with conviction that My love and might will intervene when it is time, for I alone determine the time .... I know what you are able to endure and accordingly your adversity, your earthly suffering, will also affect you, if only to be able to speak from experience if you want to help your fellow human beings in the same predicament .... But how easily you could become free from all worries and suffering .... For as soon as this profound living faith in My might and love fills you, you will also be released from all adversity. The fact that My adversary intervenes again and again, that he tries everything to stop your activity for Me, this shall also explain much to you, for he often places conditions on Me which I therefore do not deny him because I know that he will not succeed, because I know My own and want to provide him with the evidence that his thinking is wrong .... And this shall be an increased incentive for you to persevere and strive for ever deeper faith, you shall defeat him and use My strength to do so .... You should always know that he cannot harm you because your will is My will .... And therefore do not doubt Me and My love for you but accept it as so certain that you will always find help with Me, whatever it may be .... Always know that I am present to you, then you will also be overcome by peace if you firmly and confidently believe that I will not let anything happen to you as long as I Myself am with you. And therefore you can only secure My presence through heartfelt remembrance of Me, through frequent silent dialogue with Me, through works of love and through the firm will to reach Me as your aim. Receive Me Myself into your heart, for your will opens it to Me, and if I Myself am in you then you need fear nothing more .... I Myself take possession of you and also keep My house for Myself .... because I still want to work in it on earth .... because it shall serve Me Myself as an abode until the mission is fulfilled for which you have offered yourselves to Me ....

Amen

Will guarantees the power to work the vineyard ....

B.D. 7553 from March 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

To whom I give an office I also give the ability to administer it .... And whomever I have chosen to work in My vineyard will also be able to do so, for he receives from Me everything that is necessary for this .... He receives the right seed and also the strength to work with it according to My will. Only he must have offered himself to Me for service, for no human being will need to do such work against his will, because then it would be pointless, for success can only be achieved where love is active. And thus a true vineyard labourer should carry out his work with love .... The preacher of My teaching should take the spiritual hardship of his fellow human being to heart and try to remedy this hardship .... Then he will truly be able to achieve good success, then his work will be successful and bring him blessings. And everyone will be able to create and work according to his ability, for I will place everyone where he finds a suitable field of work which he can then also master. Therefore only the earnest will is necessary to be allowed to work for Me in My vineyard, and he will now also be assigned the work as he can manage it, as it corresponds to his ability. And every labourer in My vineyard should also wait until I call him to the right activity, for I know when the day and hour has come for him to work, and then I will call him Myself and he will gladly do his work. I need all of you, My servants on earth, for there is great spiritual hardship and much of the good seed with which I provide for you beforehand still has to be scattered so that you will not lack it. And My seed is My word which comes to you from above. Anyone who passes on this word of Mine, who ensures that it is spread, is a good worker for Me and will truly be blessed, for people need My word, the gospel must be proclaimed to them, they must know about My will, about My commandments, about their task on earth and about all difficulties they are facing .... They must know that they are close to the end and that they should do nothing more urgently than work on their souls, because there is not much time left. This is the task of every servant on earth who has entrusted himself to Me to work in My vineyard. Each one shall draw his fellow human beings' attention to the word from above, each one shall proclaim the father's great love Who wants to win His children back, each one shall pass on the divine teaching of love which makes My will known to them. Then he will be a good servant and I will reward his work .... And no-one need fear that he is not up to this work, for everyone will also have the opportunity to do so, for I will guide his fellow human beings into the way as they are willing to accept My word, and it will then arise of its own accord whether they accept My word or not. But you, My servants on earth, you must be mediators through whom I Myself can address people who do not yet allow a direct address. And thus you only need to want to serve Me and everything will approach you such that you will thus serve Me, consciously or unconsciously. For it is truly easy for Me to give you the gift of speech when you need it, when I want to address a fellow human being through you. But I must possess your will, which is free .... And I bless his will if it applies to Me and wants to contribute towards the redemption of the unfree .... And I will also always give you as much strength as you need for your vineyard work .... You will always be able to do it because this work is the most important and therefore it is also My will that you work with My strength. Therefore, never fear becoming unfit for work which is particularly urgent in the last days before the end and which has to be carried out of your own free will, for I keep My servants capable as long as I need their services .... And I also know how long you are still to serve Me and what task I set for everyone in the last days before the end .... And as long as I provide you with strength and protectively hold My hands over you .... and as long as you shall also fulfil your office which I have assigned to you ...._>Amen

False spirits .... False prophets ....

B.D. 7714 from September 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I have chosen you as My servants because I foresaw that your inner will is good and also strong so that you will assert yourselves where it concerns endorsing the truth. For much is offered to people as truth and yet it did not originate from Me .... And if My servant therefore recognises this he must not remain silent but speak up, he must confront this error with the pure truth .... then he must show that he is My representative on earth and that he is in My service. Thus he must profess My name before the world, he must wholeheartedly support what he has received from Me Myself because I had chosen him to work for Me as an apostle in the last days. And whoever has been placed by Me into this office will also receive the strength from Me to speak in My name .... And he will work like an apostle of truth and expose My adversary, who has also chosen his instruments in order to cause confusion within My ranks. And therefore hear what My spirit proclaims to you: the time until the end is but short yet the day of the end has been predetermined for eternity .... And wherever you humans will be, you shall all be informed of this forthcoming end, because I will still send very obvious signs to follow which can be observed everywhere and which will also occupy people's thoughts. However, precisely these signs will provoke the most conflicting opinions because then My adversary's activity will start to emerge which confuses people's thoughts, for one person will no longer understand the other, everyone will pursue different goals which he will be unable to relinquish, and only a few will be spiritually awake and come to the right conclusions .... And then many false prophets will appear ....

And this is what I want to caution you of, do not believe every spirit which wants to talk to you and especially not those which deny the end, which cannot believe that an end of this earth is reconcilable with My love .... And then be careful and sincerely pray to receive the truth. Do not believe every spirit which tries to express itself through people who willingly accept it, and counter every such teaching with My pure Word which sounds from above because you humans shall live in truth .... For only through truth can you reach the goal. And there are many spirits amongst you which do not speak on My instructions, but you can identify them by the fact that they argue the end, that they object to the revelations proclaiming a near end and that they meet the messengers with hostility. The time is fulfilled, and especially during the last days many false prophets will yet arise and try to invalidate the pure truth from Me. And they will perform extraordinary feats to make you believe in them, but it is not My spirit which speaks through them, it is not My strength which works in them .... they are adverse forces which rage everywhere and, being followers of My adversary, are also endowed with strength because they are enslaved by him and affect people of this earth in his will. And then you, who want to serve Me, shall loyally stand by your Lord, you shall defend the truth, you shall not let yourselves be misled, for you know that you speak in My name, and you will also receive the strength from Me, for then I Myself will speak through you. And thus, where My pure Gospel is proclaimed that is where the end of this earth will also be announced and that people are quickly approaching this end and therefore should prepare themselves for it. And where your speeches meet with resistance that is where you will also clearly recognise My adversary's activity, and you shall separate yourselves from them and not preach together, for they are not My representatives but Satan's emissaries, who is particularly active wherever the light establishes itself .... And he will not succeed in extinguishing the light, for I Myself emanate it down to earth and illuminate the hearts of My Own so that they will clearly realise that they are being addressed by the Father, Who is the light of eternity ....

Amen

Doubts about the truth of the predictions ....

B.D. 7755 from November 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Even in you, who want to serve Me, thoughts of doubt often arise when you are to proclaim the approaching end .... You are certainly willing to believe and the correlations are also obvious to you so that you believe an end of this earth is possible. Yet you are not fully convinced of this because you are not yet able to cite a parallel for such an event, because no such event has yet been reported through tradition which resulted in the destruction of all creations on earth. And it must be that nothing of this kind is known to you, so that there is no compulsion of will in the last days, so that people can freely decide to which lord they hand themselves over. And you, My servants, who want to work for Me and My kingdom, you should only ever firmly adhere to My word .... you should believe that My word is truth and that I will by no means let you receive knowledge through the spirit which does not correspond to the truth. You should believe with complete conviction, and you can also do so if only you are willing not to spread error and thus appeal to Me Myself for protection from error .... For then I will truly neither let you think nor speak erroneously. But you, in turn, will feel inwardly urged to pass on the predictions conveyed to you by Me, you will feel it your duty to speak of them, and I Myself will instruct you to speak what I Myself would speak if I lived amongst people and could address them directly. Don't be afraid to speak untruths as long as you are willing to serve Me, to be active as My servants in the vineyard of the lord. For if it were an error you wanted to spread, you would most certainly feel a clear resistance within yourselves and .... keep silent .... But I want people to know what awaits them and what events they are facing, for they should not remain unaware, they should have the opportunity to prepare themselves for it. But they will always hear the opposite from the worldly side, for the world is My adversary's kingdom and My adversary always tries to influence people such that they expect earthly gain, earthly progress and earthly prosperity from the future and don't remember their God and creator. But I want them to disregard everything the world offers them and only think of their soul's salvation. And therefore you should present everything to them as transient, you should announce to them that everything will be taken away from them and that they can even lose their physical life .... that great earthly adversity awaits them or spiritual adversity in the kingdom of the beyond if they don't accept your proclamations as credible and adjust themselves to it. And therefore I constantly encourage you, My servants, to inform people of the predictions which I convey to earth through My spirit, because humanity is in great danger if it does not change before the end comes .... I will admonish and warn all people to remember their souls and not to give up the souls' salvation for the sake of earthly goods .... For everything will pass away when the time is fulfilled .... and the soul will only possess what it has acquired in spiritual possessions. You humans still have a short time of grace where you can still acquire spiritual wealth, but the time will soon come to an end ...._>Amen

Trust in God's guidance and protection

Assurance of protection at time of great need .... act of destruction ....

B.D. 4513 from December 15th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You have My word that I will not leave you in distress .... If now the hour will come when everything will falter around you and certain death will be in front of your eyes, remember My words and do not be afraid .... Then I will hold My hand protectively over you and will not let any harm come to you. Then trust in Me, Who alone can help you, Who also commands the elements of nature to spare you who want to serve Me. And you will live even if death will reap abundantly around you, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture. For you are to bear witness to the truth of My word, you are to speak afterwards so that what I offer you from above will continue from mouth to mouth. You are to give strength and comfort to the survivors, you are to enlighten the unbelievers and make them aware of God's will, which is made known to them through you. You are to instruct the doubters and warn people who deny Me, who don't want to acknowledge Me, you are to point all people to the last judgment, to the day which means an end on this earth for all people, good and evil. I need you for this work and therefore also protect your life, and if I give you this assurance you can look forward to what is to come completely carefree, for I will always help you if you are in need and also always give you strength to endure earthly tribulations which you still have to take upon yourselves for the sake of your soul's maturity. You will not live in order much longer, you will only have a short time left to care for and build up your earthly life .... Then the day will come which will destroy everything again which you have laboriously built up for yourselves .... the day which will bring such enormous changes that you would no longer wish to live if you did not know about everything. Then strong demands will be made on your faith .... Then you will have to prove how far you have penetrated spiritual knowledge, the truth, for this alone will give you strength, whereas anyone who does not know the truth will despair, for he will lose all faith in a God of love and omnipotence, for My reign and activity is incomprehensible to him. You should enlighten them and inform them of My plan of salvation, of their earthly task and their destiny. You should point out to them the near end and inform them of your knowledge about it and your mission. And blessed are those who believe you, who take your teachings to heart and turn to Me .... The day is near, therefore be eager in your activity for Me and My kingdom, make use of every hour and bear in mind that only the spiritual endures, but the earthly perishes and therefore should not be taken seriously. For there is only one thing you need to do to protect your soul from harm, I will protect the body or release your soul from its cover when its time has come ....

Amen

Support by forces of heaven in the redeeming work ....

B.D. 5477 from September 1st 1952, taken from Book No. 60

You only have a short time left to work in My name. Yet this time can still be well utilized because all the forces of heaven support you and therefore you will not carry out unsuccessful work. The spiritual community of those who want to be active in redemption will be increased from the spiritual side; each one of you will have helping forces at one’s side which the one cannot see but which will guide and direct him to those who are in spiritual need. Each one of you is spiritually cared for and influenced, as it were. His activity therefore does not only rest on his shoulder but it is carried by beings full of light to whom the will of redemption is inherent and who therefore determine every human being of equal will for the right and blessed work. There will be no standstill because you have the will to serve Me and to be co-workers in the redemption of erring souls .... And yet, you will have to overcome obstacles because My adversary will use every opportunity to prevent you from this work, to hinder you and make you tired of fighting. He will try but you are not alone, and he will be no match for the light beings protecting you, and therefore it may well seem as if your work is not progressing, yet in the meantime the beings of light will continue to work until you have overcome the obstacles and can reconnect to beneficial activity again. The work you are to accomplish in the last time before the end is too important for Me as that I would seriously let endanger it. You will always act in accordance with My will, because you carry My will within yourselves through your willingness to help, which you always demonstrate to Me, and thus you can calmly allow yourselves to be guided by your feelings, which instruct you correctly and are always placed into your hearts personally by Me, to you who want to serve Me .... Just for a short time your activity will be as it has been until now .... Soon, however, changes will occur which would seem not yet credible to you today. Soon you will become more public, that is, larger circles will have knowledge of your spiritual activity and desire information, and you will be able to give it to them in My name, and I will bless you and your work. But as long as you are still active in secrecy you should use every opportunity to inform your fellow human beings that they live in the last days .... As often as you can you should mention it, for people will soon remember your words when everything will happen as you have predicted .... But for the present all powers of heaven will move, and wherever but one willing soul is found it will be seized by their love, and My grace will likewise take effect on those who do not resist and allow themselves to be taught by you. The time is approaching its end .... The time limit for this earth will soon have expired, yet extensive work still awaits you. Yet you need not accomplish anything on your own, I am always with you with My power of love, and the beings of the light will carry out what I instruct them to do .... they will protect you in adversity and danger, they will support you so that your work will not remain unsuccessful ....

Amen

B.D. 6437 from December 28th 1955, taken from Book No. 69

I guide all of you who want to serve Me, and you will never go your ways alone but by My hand, because you took it voluntarily, because you chose Me as your guide of your own accord. And My guidance will always be such that it will serve you to attain maturity of soul but also the vineyard work you want to do, for I know where and how you can use your strength appropriately because I also know about your will to be faithful servants to Me. And believe Me, you will always know yourselves what you should do, because I speak to you all Myself through the heart .... Just trust Me fully that I will give you the right instructions when the time comes, but don't anticipate .... For I will bring everything to you in such a way that you will take it for granted, so that you will then also have the certain feeling that you are acting correctly, for this is My voice in you .... Consider: You want to serve Me .... Is it then not also self-evident that your father of the house also gives you the right instructions for your service? I will never let the strength of a servant who offers himself to Me for service lie idle, because I need all of you and assign to everyone the work he can best do .... As long as you ask and are uncertain, the order has not yet been given to you by Me, for you will feel it clearly and without doubt in your heart and also fulfil it without hesitation .... Let Me take care of you, let Me think for you, and only ever grasp Me by the hand which guides you, so that you safely direct your steps to where I want to take you .... And if I have assigned an unusual task to you, even then everything will approach you in such a way that nothing unusual can be recognized .... For I don't want to determine your will, but if you subordinate it to Mine then you will always want the same as Me, and your thoughts and actions will therefore also be right .... But as long as you still doubt or question, it is not My voice which inwardly gives you the order. Then intimately unite with Me and wait until you have complete clarity, which I will certainly give to you if only you are willing to serve Me. And you will be amazed how everything works itself out and how confidently you are now able to judge. The adversity of the time requires all your commitment, and I call you, My servants on earth, to industrious vineyard work, but I also assign everyone the field of activity he is capable of cultivating. I am the master of the house and My will shall apply to My servants .... because you humans yourselves cannot overlook where and how your strength can best be utilized. And therefore you should always submit yourselves to Me and My instructions .... But then you need never fear to do a wrong job. Open your heart and ear to Me yourselves through your will .... And I will speak to you in such a way that you will understand Me even if you cannot hear My word audibly .... You will feel what I want from you, and therefore you only need to pay attention to your feelings, to the inner voice which urges you or holds you back .... For as soon as you sincerely ask Me for clarification I will truly answer you and you will feel what you have to do or refrain from doing .... so you can at any time carelessly leave yourselves to the guidance of your father in heaven .... He knows the paths you should take for your own and your fellow human beings' salvation ....

Amen

Power transmission through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7197 from October 30th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

You are still wearing the earthly garment, and that also means struggle, darkness and weakness, for only when you have taken off the earthly garment can you speak of freedom .... as soon as you have overcome, i.e. have emerged victorious from the battle. This is why life will remain a battle for you until the end, only you can request more or less strength from Me, which you will also receive for the sake of Jesus Christ. And thus you know that you can procure strength and power yourselves if only you intimately call upon Him, Who died as a human being on the cross for you in order to acquire the grace of strength. In Him I Myself came to earth, and in Him I Myself accomplished the act of salvation .... Hence you ask Me Myself for strength and will therefore never need to fail in the battle against darkness. Therefore you need not be afraid, no matter how great your discouragement may be. If you call upon Me Myself in Jesus Christ, the enemy of your soul will be pushed away from you, for he is the one who wants to instil fear in you, who wants to turn you away from Me in order to keep control over you himself. Therefore you have to fight against him, but this battle can already be victoriously fought by calling upon Me in spirit and in truth .... You only need to think of Me sincerely, you only need to unite with Me sincerely and present your inner hardship to Me, so that you feel weak and appeal to Me for strength .... And all weakness will fall away from you, for you can no longer feel weak in My presence, and you draw My presence precisely through this heartfelt call in spirit and in truth. And even if it is only a thought it will not fail to have an effect, and soon the feeling of weakness will give way to inner calm and security because My presence does not allow anything oppressive, because victory is certain in every battle which is fought together with Me. And as long as you have to fight I want you to call upon Me as a fellow fighter .... but then every fear will be unnecessary, every weakness will be remedied and you will emerge victorious, for I Myself truly fight with you victoriously against the enemy ....

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Reminder not to slacken in vineyard work ....

B.D. 6779 from March 9th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

Humanity needs constant wake-up calls, for again and again it falls back into a sleep of death from which, however, it shall awaken to life in order to still be able to eagerly work on the soul .... And therefore this also requires constant work on the part of My servants, again and again to rouse people and to make them aware of the significance of their earthly life and to encourage them to start working, which is urgent because there is not much time left for it. No one of My vineyard labourers should believe that he has done enough once he has let his wake-up call resound .... Again and again he shall try to shoo the sleep from them, which holds them captive and from which they can escape with difficulty. I well know that again and again you have to record failures, but nevertheless you shall not grow weary, for it is the preliminary work you do so that they know why it happens, that I stir them up from their rest with a voice of thunder if they don't wake up beforehand and turn to the most important work: to transform themselves as it corresponds to My will. People shall not be surprised in deep sleep, and therefore you shall repeatedly sound wake-up calls beforehand, you shall draw their attention to what is coming, you shall inform them that they will not be allowed to enjoy their rest for much longer, that they will have to be forcibly awakened if they don't listen to you and comply with your words. But you shall not let them rest .... For they are in a very difficult situation, they are constantly losing more and more strength because their earthly life will soon be over and therefore they will also lose the vitality they still possess and could therefore be active if it were their will. But it lies idle as long as they keep the sleep of death, as long as they don't strive for any spiritual life and use their life energy to acquire spiritual goods. And the whole of humanity is already in a state of torpor, except for the few who heeded the wake-up calls and desire to live .... But these shall remember their fellow human beings and help them to also find life .... And therefore you should not stop proclaiming to them what I charge you with: that in not much longer time I will let My voice resound loudly and audibly .... For this day draws ever closer and it will be the beginning of the end. For it precedes the last end like a shadow. But the end means an infinitely long night from which there will no longer be such an awakening as is still possible now through My voice, which will certainly sound exceedingly loud and terrible and therefore still be able to bring people to awakening. And then individuals can still pursue their activity with increased eagerness and seriously prepare themselves for the end which will follow shortly afterwards. But then night will irrevocably fall upon all people who ignore this wake-up call .... Then they will truly sink into a sleep of death from which there will be no awakening for an infinitely long time. You, who as My servants have entrusted your services to Me, should remember that you cannot mention the forthcoming events often enough to your fellow human beings .... For every soul that follows your wake-up call will thank you eternally that you saved it from that endless long night .... People don't know what hardship they are in, and they will not believe your ideas either. But My last intervention can still bring them to their senses if they realize that your words were truth, which will then return to their memory and no longer remain without impression. Therefore, don't let any opportunity pass you by, don't fear the ridicule or ill-will of your fellow human beings, always remember that you are already standing in the light of day and that you no longer need to fear the darkness, whatever may come, but that an unspeakably agonizing fate awaits those if you don't succeed in rousing them from their sleep of death. Love and compassion shall motivate you to speak on My behalf again and again, but you should never believe that you have done enough, for as long as the earth still exists the souls must still be fought for so that they will not succumb to My adversary's power ....

Amen

Exhortation to workers in the vineyard .... success in the hereafter ....

B.D. 6066 from September 29th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

However it may come, do not grow weary in your work for Me and My kingdom. Often you will still be discouraged because you seem to be working in vain; yet earthly activity is far more futile, for your success will melt away into nothing when the great chaos begins. But what you have achieved in spiritual work will then come to fruition .... No matter whether it concerns yourselves or your fellow human beings whom you have made aware of so far, for they will think back and consider the probability. And some will learn to think differently when events befall people which take away all earthly hope. Remain diligent in your vineyard work and fill the place where I have placed you. Each one do what he is instructed to do and do not ask with what success he works, for spiritual work is never unsuccessful, but its extent cannot be seen by you humans. Don't get tired and use the time well because it is only limited but can still be used beneficially. And don't look at the world and its sinfulness, don't doubt the truth of My word that the worldlings are in mortal danger, even if you see them living a life of pleasure .... even if they want to prove you wrong in view of the worldly upswing .... Believe My words: Soon everything will come to an end .... But since the spiritual knows no end, it is a matter of creating a state for this spiritual that does not give torment and darkness, but light and bliss .... And no matter how small the success of your work may seem .... it is not small in the spiritual world, and what you are unable to achieve with your fellow human beings can still be achieved by My spiritual co-workers, who all work with the same spiritual knowledge which you receive on earth and which you also make accessible to the spiritual inhabitants through your willingness. Therefore you should be constantly active and not let yourselves be distracted by what you see around you. You spread what is right and true, and the future will teach people how worthless what they aspired to was .... For no one can escape chaos. And then you will also be heard for a short time, and you can hand out what is now spurned .... Then every labourer will be needed in My vineyard because the time of harvest has come ....

Amen
