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.

Why the lord descended to earth ....

B.D. 7769 from December 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Just as it was at the time of My life on earth, so it is today: people have no living faith .... They lead a pseudo-christianity today, just as they only fulfilled their duties in a pseudo-christian way back then, but their faith in Me was not a living faith .... And therefore the connection to their God and creator was not deep enough for Me to give them proof of My love and omnipotence in order to revive their faith. For they lacked love, and only love would have let them recognize their God and creator, love would have revived their faith .... But love had grown cold, just as it has grown cold amongst people now. For this reason I descended to earth in order to exemplify love to them, in order to bring them My divine teaching of love and to explain to them the purpose of their earthly change. I descended to earth in order to kindle a light for people, for there was dense darkness .... People were blind in spirit and saw nothing because their eyes were closed as a result of their lack of love. And therefore the light itself descended to earth .... People were in great distress and those of good will called for a saviour Who should deliver them from this adversity. And for their sake I also came to earth. I started My earthly life as a baby .... because the great adversity could only be remedied by an extraordinary work of love .... Where love had been completely lost My adversary had power over people, and My adversary truly kept them bound so that people were unable to detach themselves from him. And that this was possible was the result of humanity's sin, that they once self-willedly gave up their freedom and followed the one who chained them .... They had become his followers in free will, and he now took advantage of his dominion and struck them with darkness and powerlessness .... He kept them separated from Me, Who truly would have helped them if only they had enabled Me to shine upon them with strength and light .... But they lacked the love which is light and strength. And in order to break his power I Myself accomplished a work of love which had such an effect that every person could now acquire strength and light who acknowledged this work of Mine and only desired the blessings now available to him .... People lacked love, thus I had to compensate for the measure of love which secured strength and light again for people who had the will to attain the light. And I offered this sacrifice of love, I came to earth as saviour in deepest adversity .... I taught them love and led them to faith through My teaching of love. And those who were of good will recognized Me and joined Me. They were willing and able to love and I was therefore able to initiate them into My teaching of love, I was able to train them and then send them out into the world in order to proclaim My gospel to all peoples of the earth. And they informed people of My extraordinary work of love, of My sacrificial death on the cross, they taught them love and thus spread the light which I had kindled with My descent onto this earth. And thus I send My disciples out into the world again to teach people the doctrine of love, and anyone who follows them will also be able to believe in Me, Who sent My only begotten son to earth in order to redeem people .... For I Myself was the one Who accomplished the work of love on earth in the man Jesus, because I took pity on humanity, which in its adversity cried out for a saviour .... I alone knew what their adversity consisted of and therefore I alone knew how I could help them .... Love Itself came to earth and sought entrance into human hearts .... and whoever grants entrance to the eternal love Itself will also be led out of all adversity, for he will have living faith, he will come to Me Myself and I will not let his faith be put to shame ...._>Amen

Jesus' activity on Earth ....

B.D. 8308 from October 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

When I lived on earth I taught you humans the Gospel of love, for you should develop the love within you into utmost perfection and also be aware of its consequences, which you were able to identify by My activity .... I was only able to heal the sick and perform miracles on account of My indwelling love, which permeated Me completely and subsequently resulted in unity with the Father .... the Eternal Love .... which is the goal of every being created by the Father. Thus I exemplified a life of love to you and only ever treated My neighbourhood with love .... Consequently I was able to teach in all wisdom, I was able to enlighten people's spiritual darkness since this light of wisdom came forth from the fire of My love. For this reason you humans will only gain realisation when you live a life of love, for love is the flow of divine light which illuminates a person's heart so that he can attain profound knowledge, which provides clarification about himself and his relationship with God, his Father of eternity .... People spent their lives in complete darkness, their thinking was wrong because their hearts lacked love and thus they lacked the fire which could emit a light .... And I came to them, I came into the midst of the human race, but they did not know Me and rejected the light .... They persecuted and attacked Me because their heartless way of life was also a life of sin. Yet I repaid all evil only with love, I compassionately took care of their suffering, I relieved them from ailments and only ever taught love, because this was the only remedy, both earthly as well as spiritually .... And there were only a few who recognised Me, who followed Me and made an effort to live a life of love, and they became enlightened and joined Me .... because they also recognised in Me the Messiah, the Saviour from severe adversity Who had long been announced to them through prophets. But only a few believed My Words and lived accordingly, who lived with love and were guided through the spiritual darkness into the light .... for the light lived in the midst of them ....

I constantly preached love and, time and again, I will proclaim to people the divine teaching of love, I will present it as being of paramount importance and admonish all people to live a life of love like Me in order to thereby gain the realisation of why they live on earth, what their task consists of and what they should strive for .... As soon as a small glimmer of light has fallen into their hearts, as soon as they unite with Me, as the Eternal Love, through unselfish kind-hearted activity, they will become increasingly more enlightened, they will become more knowledgeable and this knowledge will indeed correspond to truth because I, Truth and Love, are one .... He who lives in love will be united with Me and also know the truth .... He will have stepped out of the spiritual night into the light and all darkness will have left him. Only love can achieve this, consequently the Gospel of love will be proclaimed to you time and again, and any concepts conveyed to you from external sources must always kindle love in your hearts, they must always consist of admonitions to live your life on earth in love. Time and again you must change yourselves into love, you must fight against selfish love and try to change it into unselfish neighbourly love .... I must be presented to you as a God of love, Whom you can only reach through love .... For love is everything .... it is strength and light, it is bliss .... Anyone who lives without love is still burdened by darkness and his earthly path is obscure to him .... Anyone who has shaped himself into love will no longer fear anything, for he recognises his God and Creator as a loving Father and strives consciously towards Him .... Love liberates, it liberates from all bondage, love bestows happiness and grants bliss in abundance .... Love comes from Me and leads back to Me again .... For love connects the child with the Father .... Love grants the greatest happiness while still on earth and then again one day in eternity, for Love is God, It unites Father and child for all eternity ....

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Jesus took all suffering upon Himself .... Why suffering? ....

B.D. 6240 from April 17th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

I took all people's suffering upon Myself .... Thus you can live a carefree earthly life and strive towards ascent unimpeded, you can truly live your life on earth as if you were in paradise already .... if only you lived with your final goal in mind, if you consciously strove for unity with Me, which would certainly be possible for you, because I paid for the original sin so that you can take the path of ascent without a burden. However, you are still exposed to My adversary's influence, and from this influence you ought to release yourselves .... For your time on earth was given to you so that you can test your will, My adversary can still influence you during this time and you must pass this test of will by offering him resistance and consciously striving towards Me. His influence will not bypass you entirely without a trace, you will more or less react to it and therefore, as a result of My counteraction, become subject to afflictions and adversities which should let you seek a heartfelt bond with Me so that the danger of being captured by him will be eliminated .... Your soul still belongs to him in body for as long as it is still physically bound and encased and surrounded by immature spiritual substances .... I died for you on the cross so that you would be able to detach yourselves from My adversary's chains, yet the soul has to achieve this detachment itself, i.e., it must sincerely want to separate itself from My adversary ....

And in order to influence your will accordingly you need to experience adversity and misery .... unless your will fully belongs to Me and no longer allows itself to be influenced by My opponent .... In that case, however, your earthly life will be more bearable, then you can already rightfully claim that you are redeemed from sin and death, from weakness and bondage .... But then you will fit into the missionary work of redemption for your fellow human beings of your own accord, for then you will know the significance of earthly life and want to help your fellow human beings' to also become liberated from the power which keeps them captive. And then your earthly life will not be without distress so as not to force your fellow human beings decision of will, for as long as the person's soul is still immature he looks for a carefree life of happiness and would only try to change his life again for the sake of achieving selfish goals which, however, would not lead him to attaining perfection .... Through My death on the cross I wanted to facilitate your entry into eternal beatitude .... and not purchase you a paradise-like life on earth .... Nevertheless, you can make your earthly life bearable, as long as you only live in heartfelt unison with Me .... Then nothing can depress and burden you anymore, then everything that happens to you is just evidence of My love for you and then you will also know its purpose and voluntarily submit to your fate .... You will no longer suffer but consciously evaluate everything and consider it a gift of grace because it guarantees you a higher degree of maturity, because one day it will increase your bliss, for which you will only ever be grateful. So therefore you only carry a cross for your fellow human beings' sake .... for yourselves, however, it is a sign of My love which has destined you to participate in My act of Salvation ....

Amen

God's infinite fatherly love .... painful means ....

B.D. 6836 from May 22nd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Nothing needed to make you doubt the 'love of God', for I would not let the smallest disaster come upon you if it were to harm you. But you humans don't see the disaster which threatens you on the part of My adversary, which causes My love to draw your attention to you, which can often only happen through suffering and hardship, through which I only want to get you into contact with Me so that I can now also obviously assist you. My love for you is so great that it only ever wants what is best for you, and you should never doubt My love, for it brought you into being and will remain with you for all eternity .... But there is one thing it cannot do: restrict your free will .... If only My love were the only determining factor you would all have been supernatural beings long ago. Yet My love is so great that I would like to shape you into gods, but this is only possible if this transformation takes place of your own free will and you have to use this free will yourselves, thus it can never be 'directed' by Me, otherwise you could indeed become blissful 'creatures' but not 'divine images'. And this great love of Mine does not diminish, it is always and constantly meant for you and will therefore only ever do what favours your bliss but will never want to harm you. But as long as you live on earth as a human being you lack full knowledge of My nature as well as of My plan of salvation. The correlations are not yet known to you, nor are you able to grasp all correlations. This is why you still often question and doubt, even if you have already joined Me of your own will, that you strive towards Me and are also able to believe in Me with conviction as your God and creator; but you are not yet able to see the father in Me .... For you will not doubt the 'father's' love for his 'child' because it is quite natural that the father's love is for his child. And if doubts arise in you about My love, then always remember that you are My children whom I will never ever give up .... remember that My fatherly love is truly something else than the love of an earthly father for his child .... that it exceeds the latter's love immeasurably in ardour and that such love only ever wants the child's beatitude. And as soon as you are convinced of My love you will also accept everything with devotion, even if it involves suffering and hardship. But then you will also turn to your 'father' with complete trust and wait for His help, which will certainly be granted to you. The dangers which surround you in the last days before the end often make Me resort to means which make you doubt My love .... but if they drive you towards Me, then I will have achieved the purpose, I will have indirectly shown My child an act of love which I recognized as salvation .... It is about your bliss in freedom, it is about your deification on this earth. And nothing happens which would not be helpful for you to reach the aim .... Therefore, nothing shall cause you to doubt the love of your father and creator from eternity, for it never ends, it applies to you, My living creations, for all eternity and only wants to achieve that you shape yourselves into My children inzorder to be able to make you happy with My fatherly love forever ....

Amen

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

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

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

Bearing the burden of the cross in surrender ....

B.D. 5498 from October 2nd 1952, taken from Book No. 60

Everyone must carry his cross for the sake of one’s soul's salvation. Whatever hardship and misery, illness and affliction is imposed on you, bear it in submission to My will and it will truly bring you salvation .... But in times of great adversity I will stand by you as the bearer of the cross and you can confidently burden Me with it, that I will carry it for you .... My love does not deny you any request and relieves you as soon as you call upon Me for help in strong faith. Thus the cross will never be heavier for you than you are able to bear, it is well measured for your strength but it is the final compensation for your guilt, for whose sake you live on earth and which you should have paid off as much as possible before you depart from earth. Sickness and suffering are the soul's act of atonement, which it took upon itself, which it was willing to bear when it was presented with the earthly path before its embodiment .... It consciously consented to it, even though it lacks any recollection on earth due to the freedom of will .... But it was willing to take up the cross in order to redeem what is within its power. Therefore don't grumble and complain if your cross weighs you down, but call upon Me for help and you will no longer feel its burden to be so oppressive, you will joyfully straighten up again if the cross seemed to weigh you down .... You will continue to carry it with renewed strength as long as you still walk on earth, yet you will feel that I walk beside you and support you and help you carry it if you become weak. But what you achieve by carrying the burden of the cross is not yet comprehensible to you, for with physical eyes you cannot see any success worth mentioning, yet your soul shouts for joy and rejoices because cover after cover is detached from it and ever brighter light can flow unto it, because the burden you carry still takes away the last dross which burdens the soul, and because you now give the soul a certain freedom and it continually floats lighter and lighter towards the final aim .... because it is therefore light-hearted, for the body took the burden from it and carried it for the soul .... Although I don't want you humans to suffer on earth, in order to spare the soul unspeakable suffering in the kingdom of the beyond you have also been given a period of time on earth when your body can suffer for the soul, because you have previously expressed your will to help the soul while it is still on earth and to protect it from an agonizing state after the death of the body. Yet you can always reduce this suffering yourselves by faithfully calling upon Him Who will always help you carry the cross if it becomes too heavy for you, because He loves you like a father who rushes to the aid of his children when they call upon him ....

Amen

Jesus came to the weak, sick and needy ....

B.D. 5282 from December 27th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I came into the world for the weak, sick and needy, for the strong and healthy did not require Me, they found their own way, at least they believed they could, and only when they went astray did they recognise their weakness and called for Me .... when their own strength did not suffice to master their lives. All those who call for Me, who need Me, are weak and their souls are ailing, and all those will be helped by Me, because by calling for Me they acknowledge their distressed state, from which they hope to be rescued by Me. All you humans are weak and ill, and good for those who recognise it .... However, those who feel strong and healthy are in a bad way, for they cannot be helped .... And there are many who believe that they don't need help, there are many who are convinced of their own strength and very easily use the strength of the one who wants to gain them for himself, who increases their arrogant belief and therefore gives them strength, but not without a service in return .... He wants the soul and in exchange gives the body what it wants ....

I, however, Am the physician of the sick and weak, I Am the comforter of the sorrowful and the hope of the disheartened .... They all come to Me and they will not ask in vain, I agree to help them all even if they do not experience it immediately. But in that case I also know why, and yet you are not abandoned, for no one who calls to Me for help from the bottom of his heart will ever call to Me in vain. Come unto Me, all you who are weak and heavily laden, I will refresh you .... Thus I have promised you My help, and so you will certainly receive it .... Always remember this when you are confronted by hardship, when you feel physically or psychologically distressed, when earthly life is a heavy burden to you, when you need help. Then remember that I once and at any time came to the poor, sick and weak and only await your call to reveal Myself to you, but that I want to be called upon, so that you freely recognise your weakness and ask for Me, your physician and helper, that your call demonstrates your faith that I can and will help you .... and I will never allow this faith to be destroyed ....

Amen

Predetermined fate .... God's love and help ....

B.D. 5845 from January 5th 1954, taken from Book No. 63

I come close to the sick and weak in order to heal and strengthen them .... I come to the saddened and oppressed in order to comfort and assure them of My support .... I take the victims of persecution into My arms so that they may find a home again with Me, and I lift up the fallen to help them find a foothold again and become happy. I come to all who merely call upon Me with a thought, who believe in a God and Father, who don't reject Me when I want to help them .... And they can all consider themselves fortunate that My ear hears their call, that My eye sees their tribulation and that My heart belongs to them because they are My children .... because they believe. Yet I also approach all unbelievers, I try to make Myself known to them as a helper in order to stimulate them into appealing for My help or into gratefully accepting it .... indeed, I often approach the unbelievers in the form of adversity and grief so that they shall remember Me, Whom they certainly know of yet don't want to know. For no human being is entirely without knowledge about the Creator and Provider of all things .... However, many lack belief in the connection between the Creator and His living creation, and this unbelief prevents them from looking for the connection which, however, would convince them of Me and My activity, and could also convince them of the immense love which connects Me with all that is created ....

This faith makes the human being very happy and also lets him find the path to Me as soon as he is in trouble .... Or the adversity would be insufferable were I not aware of it and unable to provide My help wherever there is faith. The fact that there is always a way out, that the time of adversity and suffering is repeatedly succeeded by an endurable period of time again is not coincidence, not a matter of course .... It is My intervention, My guidance, it is My reign and activity, which is distinctly recognisable in a human being's fate. And every person's course of fate should lead to faith in Me, yet anyone who does not acknowledge Me also rejects a predetermined fate, he tries to explain everything as being due to his own strength or lack of strength without realising where he receives the strength from and why he can also be weak .... The acknowledgment of Me and a call to Me would truly result in a substantial change in his thinking as well as his spiritual and earthly state during his life on earth .... I won't deny Myself to anyone who calls upon Me, yet I hold Myself back where I Am met by open resistance, where the rejection of Me is so extensive that even physical adversity will not result in any change of mind. And then there will be great danger that the one who has achieved his goal in displacing Me completely will intervene .... And he will provide amply in earthly life in exchange for everything that could lead to life in eternity .... He poisons the soul and subjects it to a death, which is far more painful than the most arduous earthly life, for this comes to an end but the soul will have to suffer forever .... until it acknowledges Me one day and appeals to Me for help .... which it will also be granted ....

Amen

The right physician and curative medicine ....

B.D. 7140 from June 5th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

The soul's recovery can only be achieved by a curative medicine, a medicine offered by the right physician who knows the soul's condition and also knows what helps it to recover. And a right doctor will therefore also know how to influence the human being to give his soul the right medicine .... A right doctor will endeavour to make the healing of the soul a priority for the human being, for a right doctor wants to help the imperishable to live, to live in light and strength and freedom .... And whoever entrusts himself to such a doctor will also attain life that lasts forever .... There is only one saviour Who knows the souls and their illnesses so well that He can administer the right medicine. And this saviour is I Myself, your God and father, from Whom you once emerged and Who also knows exactly what your nature is, what state you got into through your own fault, but Who also wants to help you to become like you once were again, when you were able to create in radiant beauty and strength, full of light and free, according to your destiny. But in order to reach this blissful state, your sick soul must first recover. All the dross that afflicts it must fall away, a new, purified soul must emerge, everything that is sick, weak and impure must be removed from it ..... And for this you need a doctor who will administer the right medicine to help you recover. The physician is Me, and the medicine is My word .... If you now let Me speak to you, if you accept My word and follow all My instructions, you can be certain that your illnesses will very soon leave you, that the state of your soul will change, that you will soon feel pulsated by a new current of life, that you will become active in a feeling of constantly increasing strength .... Your soul will recover and enjoy the awakening life, it will soon look for a field of activity to utilize its strength, and this field of activity will reach into the spiritual kingdom .... which is its true home and to which it now feels drawn. A healthy soul is worth far more than a healthy body, for the latter perishes while the former remains, and for a soul which is ill this can mean an endless time of most bitter remorse and torment if it does not strive for its recovery on earth and thus passes over ill into the kingdom of the beyond. And therefore you humans should all entrust yourselves to Me as your saviour and redeemer, Who alone can give you life. For only the 'healthy' can speak of 'life', the sick just vegetates, it is incapable of any activity, it is a burden to itself and only longs for the termination of its state of illness. And so too a sick soul is unhappy because it does not know the joy and happiness of health but is nevertheless destined to work in light and strength .... And it can easily attain full recovery if only it accepts the healing medicine from Me and also uses it .... This is what you humans need to know, that not only listening to My word is enough but that you have to become true doers of My word in order to be able to perceive its effect on yourselves .... You can only become healthy in your soul if you do what is My will, which is proclaimed to you through My word: if you live in love .... Love is the true medicine which works with certainty, for it is strength in itself, and the soul which is once permeated by this strength .... when the human being performs works of unselfish love .... will inevitably also attain life which can no longer perish eternally .... And I, as the true saviour of your souls, will only ever instruct you to fulfil the commandments of love for God and your neighbour. I will constantly admonish you to work on yourselves, i.e., to fight selfish love and change it into unselfish neighbourly love .... And all dross will now fall from your soul, it will be pure and clean, strength and light will flow through it and it will be able to enjoy fullest health, it will live for eternity, it will be able to be active in freedom, light and strength and be immeasurably happy ....

Amen

Submission of the will .... taking up residence of God in the heart ....

B.D. 5238 from October 21st 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Receive Me into your hearts and from now on you will no longer be alone, from now on you will no longer be responsible for your thoughts and actions, for it is I Myself Who now guides and impels you to think and act according to My will. Once you have established the connection with Me, once you have purified your heart through loving activity and accepted Me Myself within you, you will not be able to live any other way than according to My will, for then it will have completely entered you, i.e. your will will have subordinated itself to Mine and you will live entirely within My eternal order, you will not be able to sin, thus you will no longer be able to transgress against Me. Only love achieves this, only love for Me lets you think and act as it is pleasing to Me, for love only wants what is good, love wants to subordinate itself, it wants to please, it wants that which gives pleasure to the object of love .... But love for Me is already present when the human being shows love to his neighbour, for all love is divine which expresses itself unselfishly, and this love should be practiced until it reaches the degree that I Myself take possession of the human being's heart, that I Myself thus take abode in him. But then you will have reached the aim on earth, you will have found unity with Me and you will no longer need to fear anything because your father is with you and you are now entirely under His care. Yet I cannot stay with you against your will, you must open the door for Me yourselves, you must make your heart receptive for Me, you must shape it in accordance with My return, and all this only comes about through love .... I can only dwell where love is, and therefore I make the transformation of your nature the first condition if you still carry self-love in you beforehand and this is not allowed to have room where I want to dwell. I want to possess your whole heart without restriction in order to then also be able to be your guide and protector in your walk through the earth valley. But then your life will be beautiful and easy, then I will be your constant companion, you will never be lonely and you need only ever trustingly hand yourselves over to Me in order to always be guided correctly until the end of your earthly life, until I can then accept you into My kingdom which is not of this world .... until I can lead you into blissful realms where you will likewise be united with Me yet be able to create and work as blissful spiritual beings according to My will, which will then also be yours again, because the union with Me signifies the same will and the same thinking and only ever increases your degree of bliss .... I want to rule in and over you, and you shall feel happy in this rule because you recognize My love and you yourselves glow in ardent love for Me, which makes you the most blissful creatures, the true children of your father, whom you now remain forever ....

Amen

Merciful Fatherly love for the fallen beings ....

B.D. 5379 from May 2nd 1952, taken from Book No. 59

When you have sinned I nevertheless will not withdraw My merciful love from you, instead it will take hold of you firmly so that you will find your way back to Me again, so that you will recognise your wrongdoing and sincerely want to avoid everything that is not right before My eyes. I know your weaknesses, I know the temptations you are subject to due to your imperfection, but I also know your will which applies to Me and which I thus also value and therefore help you lift yourselves up again when you have fallen. And I bless everyone who makes an effort .... who will not let up in his endeavour despite all temptations, despite failing frequently. Time and again I give him strength because My love for My living creations never stops, which nevertheless belong to Me even when they are sinful. Yet you should fight with all your strength against the one who wants to seduce you .... you should time and again prove yourselves worthy of My love, you should not reject My love but always and forever request it, you should not want to become sinful and therefore repeatedly commend yourselves to My love and grace, you should appeal to Me for protection against the tempter, you should not exclude Me from your thoughts, your daily work, you should often strengthen yourselves, because you are too weak, with My Word ....

You should always maintain contact with Me so that I can have an effect on you at all times, and you will become ever more steadfast when you are faced by temptations, which will keep confronting you because the tempter will not slow down fighting for your souls until you have defeated him yourselves through Me, Whom you long for with all your heart and Whose love will not let go of you .... For as long as you live on earth you will have to wage this battle, because your earthly life is the last opportunity during which the adversary can and will influence you because he does not want to lose you, and only when you become completely free from earthly cravings will the temptations become less .... But I know every stirring of the heart, I know who has the will to live a life that pleases Me, I know who is still weak, and yet I must allow My adversary to try to exert his influence on you .... I have to leave the decision to you, I must not prevent you from doing what displeases Me, but I will never close My ear to the appeal of a child if it wants to be accepted in My Fatherly favour again. I know of your weakness and provide you with strength as often as you request it. Hence you should not be despondent when you have fallen but come to Me repentantly, and My merciful love will never deny itself since it is, after all, always willing to forgive if a child genuinely desires it ....

Amen

Forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 5891 from March 1st 1954, taken from Book No. 64

There is no sin so great that it would not find forgiveness with Me if you humans demand forgiveness for it .... All guilt will be taken from you if you demand to be released for the sake of Jesus Christ, if you submit the guilt to Him, Who died for you on the cross .... if you want to be redeemed by Him from your guilt of sin. He atoned for your guilt, He took it upon Himself and made satisfaction for it ..... You can therefore become free from all guilt of sin if you take the path to Him, Who accomplished the act of salvation for you as a human being .... Whose love built the bridge between Me and you and Who therefore may not be ignored if you want to attain forgiveness of your guilt .... I demand the recognition of Jesus as God's son and redeemer of the world, because then you recognize Me Myself, with Whom the man Jesus united Himself .... For I Myself was in the man Jesus Whose heart was full of love .... Thus His love made the sacrifice for you, and this love was I Myself .... And love understands and forgives, love wipes out all guilt, love wants to save you and prepare for you all the blisses of heaven .... Love is concerned about you because it wants to seize you in order to give you beatitude. Thus love will also not let a sinner fall, yet how long the sinner burdens himself with his guilt depends on his will .... My infinite love, which wanted to suffer death on the cross for you as a human being in order to redeem your guilt of sin, will truly not shy away from the magnitude of a guilt; it was willing to die for everyone and therefore also redeems the greatest guilt if only the human being is willing to confess it to Me Myself as the redeemer Jesus Christ and to appeal for forgiveness. For only those who acknowledge the 'redeemer' can be redeemed from their guilt .... who therefore place themselves under His cross and want to belong to those for whom the man Jesus died .... And if your sins were as red as blood, I will wash you white as snow .... All of you .... even those who are burdened with the heaviest guilt .... can come to Me in the confidence that your sins will be forgiven for My name's sake. Yet I will never be able to remove your guilt as long as you turn away from Me, as long as you don't acknowledge Jesus Christ's act of salvation, for as long as you don't acknowledge Me Myself, Who embodied Myself as the man Jesus, Who became a visible God for you as the saviour Jesus Christ. My fundamental substance is love, and love embodied itself in Jesus .... Without love the man Jesus would not have been able to accomplish the act of salvation .... Thus it was I Myself Who died for you humans, for I Myself was in the man Jesus because of His infinite love for you humans, because He knew you in the abyss from which He wanted to lift you up. Therefore He took the burden from you which again and again pressed you down, which did not allow you to walk the path upwards .... He released you from this burden and thus the path to Me was also free for you .... Eternal love was able to accept you because the separating guilt had been taken away from you .... because it had found its atonement through the death of the cross. Therefore no sinner need fear eternal condemnation, for all guilt of sin is redeemed by Jesus Christ as soon as He is acknowledged as God's son and redeemer of the world .... as well as the sinner acknowledges Me Myself through the acknowledgement of Jesus and My love now also accepts the greatest sinner and releases him from all guilt ....

God-turned-will secures perfection ....

B.D. 7566 from April 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And I will put My will into your heart if you strive to fulfil My will. Then you need only let your inner urge and will determine you and it will be right how you think, speak and act. My love is with everyone who strives to come close to Me, and guide him on the right path .... My care applies to him at every hour, and thus every day can be lived safely, it will always contribute towards the soul's perfection, and earthly life will not have been lived in vain, for the will which applies to Me is a guarantee that I will take care of the human being and lead him to perfection. You should all know that you need not do without My care, you should know that nobody can get lost who believes in Me in earthly life and wants Me to accept him, that he is united with Me. Every thought that applies to Me is proof of his faith in Me and a desire of his soul for its creator and father from eternity. Every thought which departs from the earthly world, which is directed into My kingdom, also proves the soul's will which strives towards its original state again because it is aware of its origin and wants to return to it again. And I know every thought and truly promote this will like a loving father .... I let the soul feel My love in order to increase its desire for Me and thereby also strengthen My strength of love. I take care of every person who has once turned his will towards Me, who has recognized Me as a loving God and father from eternity .... who believes in Me .... For this person will also feel love for Me, even if this initially takes a back seat to the deepest humility, because the human being recognizes his own inadequacy and unworthiness .... And humility is the human being's dearest confession to Me, for it is the opposite of the original sin, of the arrogance which once caused the being to fall. The human being recognizes Me as the highest and most perfect being, Whom he does not feel worthy to love, and therefore all My love belongs to him .... Therefore only ever direct your thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, let them take the path to Me and I will know that your will is meant for Me .... And then I will be able to take hold of you, and I will truly no longer leave you out. It only concerns your will in this earthly existence, for at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being this will is still in bondage to the one who caused your fall into the abyss. And you shall change your will, away from him and towards Me .... Therefore you can also believe that I have already seized you if you want Me to look after you, that you will find grace with Me if you consciously turn your will towards Me, if you want to be and remain My own .... Then your fate will truly be sealed, I will no longer let you fall back, I will draw you to Myself and will not rest until you have found your way home to your father's house, until you have found union with Me, your God and father of eternity, Whose love applies to you and will apply to you because you are His children, whom He has now won for eternity ...._>Amen

Trust in God .... earthly worries .... "Lord, Thy will be done ...."

B.D. 0732 from January 2nd 1939, taken from Book No. 15

And if you are conscious of the fact that the father protects you, you will be free from all earthly heaviness, the desire for spiritual food will increase in you and the resistance from outside will decrease. And so all men should be anxious to put their earthly worries into the background, and consciously abandon themselves to the lord, who arranges every event according to His will and in divine wisdom, and you therefore only demand spiritual protection, but the bodily protection is likewise granted to you, if only you trust. For only now do you recognize the guidance from above .... You can cope with everything if you willingly hand yourselves over to the lord .... He who sends you everything can take it away from you in the same way, be it suffering or joy, illness and worry or happiness. As you receive it, so it will be of use to you .... if you are devoted, you are also certain of blessing, but unwillingness or rebellion cannot bring about the result that is necessary for you and your salvation, and you must now endure all the more until you have recognized the meaning of the mission from above and willingly submit to it. Therefore, bear in mind in all suffering that you still have to endure such things for your own sake as long as you have not yet reached a state of maturity. Every admonition of this kind is based on a necessity which you probably do not want to recognize but which forces the heavenly father to intervene because it is for your own good. And the more patiently and devotedly you submit yourselves to the lord's will, the sooner all harm will be taken away from you, for the One Who sends you such things will take them away from you again when the time has come. The living part is the love of the lord, but he who is dead in spirit does not recognize the love of God .... but the love of God always expresses itself where life is in danger .... He who wants to live shall not perish, and he who is in danger of giving himself over to sleep must be prevented .... And every spirit will live who always recognizes God's guidance in every situation, in the adversities and annoyances of daily life .... who only ever prays: "Lord, your will be done in heaven and on earth!"

“Do not worry about what you eat and drink ....”

B.D. 8322 from November 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Again and again I would like to call out to you humans: Do not worry about what you will eat and drink and with what you will clothe yourselves .... but seek first the kingdom of God, everything else will be given to you .... You must never forget that you live on earth for a purpose: to take the path back to Me, which has to happen consciously by seeking Me Myself, by doing everything to unite with Me in order to establish the contact which characterises the relationship of a child to its father .... You shall seek Me Myself and My kingdom .... This is the only purpose of earthly life, because it is not about the well-being of your body but about the well-being of your soul, which is everlasting .... For this purpose I gave you existence as a human being, and therefore it is quite understandable that I will also sustain you, that I will cover all the body's needs if you give priority to the soul's needs, if you fulfil your true purpose of earthly life. I am your father and show you immense love which wants to make you happy for all eternity and which endeavours to ensure that you reach the degree of maturity on earth which will result in such bliss for you .... But I am also your God and creator .... I know what you need, not only spiritually but also earthly .... And if I have created you .... if I enable you to walk the earth as a human being, I will also see to it that you are ordered in such a way that you can fulfil your actual task .... I will not demand something from you for which the prerequisites are lacking .... For I know that your body needs many things in earthly life and I will truly give them to it .... But I only set one condition for this, that you first seek My kingdom, that your soul's task is of utmost importance to you and that you put the care for your body aside, so that you will now also experience the evidence of My fatherly love: that I take care of you and give you everything you need .... And truly, you could go through your earthly life completely carefree if you take this promise of Mine to heart and only fulfil My demand to remember the soul first .... And thus you must fulfil My will, which is repeatedly announced to you through My word: You must live in love, you must only ever try to overcome your self-love and perform works of love in complete unselfishness .... you must give, want to make your neighbour happy, do everything to help him or protect him from harm .... For if you practise love then you unite with Me, then you also establish contact with My kingdom where only love exists, where I Myself reign, Who is love .... And if you live in love then you will also live a life of justice, for you cannot help but give everyone around you what is due to him .... You will not tolerate injustice because it contravenes the commandment of love, you will completely enter into My will and then also be true aspirants of My kingdom .... But your earthly life will run smoothly because I Myself will take care of you and your physical life, because I will sustain you, nourish and clothe you, just as I take care of everything that exists in creation, because My nature is love, wisdom and power .... And should I not then also be able to take care of all your worries, since everything is possible for Me? .... believe it, that every promise of Mine will come true if only you also fulfil the conditions under which I have made a promise .... I truly stand by My word, and therefore you can also firmly rely on the fact that no worry needs to burden you as soon as it is only your endeavour to come closer to Me and My kingdom, as soon as you are only willing to do everything to enable your soul to mature on earth, for only for this purpose do you walk across earth .... And as soon as you establish the right relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child with its father .... I will also take care of you in a fatherly way and give you everything so that you will not need to live in want during your earthly life .... But if you don't observe My promise you will truly also be destined for a life on earth where you won't get out of worries and hardship. But then it is your own fault because you don't believe what I Myself promised you when I lived on earth, where I experienced everything Myself as a human being and therefore also knew about all your hardships which I wanted to remedy .... but then I also demand of you that you comply with My will and first strive for the maturing of your soul .... in order to then also receive everything your body needs ....

Amen

"Cast all your worries on Me ...."

B.D. 3568 from October 5th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

And I say to you that it is truly better that you take refuge in Me in prayer than that you anxiously worry in order to cover the body's needs. For only I can give you what you need, and only My will is decisive as to how far your earthly worries will bring you success. But if you pray you determine this will to grant you help, and then it is the right care if you leave it to Me. You should indeed fulfil your duty on earth, you should take your office seriously and fill the place you have been placed in, but you should drop all anxious worry about the future, for can you secure it for yourselves? If My will is against it, you worry in vain, and if My will provides you with what you need, therefore make every effort to make this will of Mine inclined towards you through a pleasing way of life and unity with Me. Never forget that you have a loving father Who takes care of His children and only strives to be accepted as His child .... the father Who loves His children will never let them go empty-handed but will cover all their needs and try to provide a carefree existence for the children. And thus you, as My children, are always in the most faithful care, and spiritually and physically you will lack nothing. But you have to testify to your childship to Me by intimately praying to Me, your father from eternity. Do not worry anxiously but cast all your worries upon Me and My fatherly love will take them away from you according to your faith and your way of life. And therefore strive to live according to My will, and My will will be inclined towards you, My love will take over the care for your spiritual and earthly well-being, and you may carelessly hand yourselves over to Me .... But anyone who anxiously worries still belongs to the world, he does not yet recognize in Me the father to Whom he can take refuge in every adversity and danger; he still trusts too much in his own strength and is therefore repeatedly exposed to disappointments and new hardships and worries until he remembers the one Who can take all his worries away, Who wants to express His fatherly love but wants to be approached for it in heartfelt prayer .... And therefore drop all earthly worries, you who want to be My children, and let Me take care of you .... Remember the soul, pay attention to its adversity and seek to remedy it .... And I will guide you through earthly hardship and danger so that you will feel the strength of faith and join Me ever more closely. For a strong faith is able to banish all adversity ....

Amen

Fear of death ....

B.D. 6616 from August 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Death is just the passageway into a life which will last forever. You humans would not have to fear death if your life on earth corresponded to My will .... if you had travelled this earthly path in divine order, for then you would not feel terror-stricken in view of death, because then your soul would just rejoice at being able to escape the body in order to return to its home where the earthly body is utterly superfluous, where ceasing to exist cannot be spoken of but where a free life in an abundance of light and strength will await the soul. Jesus Christ arose from the grave on the third day .... He demonstrated to you that there is no such thing as ceasing to exist after the body's demise, he has provided you with the evidence that a correct way of life merely results in the change of the earthly into a spiritual body, that the human being continues to exist, that only his shell has experienced a transformation, which is absolutely necessary for staying in the spiritual kingdom .... And you all are able to accomplish this change yourselves, and death would then truly have lost its sting. But since you humans do not believe in life after death, you neglect to prepare yourselves for a stay in the spiritual kingdom, and since your soul has therefore no prospect whatsoever to clothe itself after physical death in a radiantly bright spiritual garment you fear death, and rightly so, for you cannot cease to exist but earthly heaviness can still cling to you, and your awakening after the body's death will not be a happy one .... But you will awaken, regardless of how imperfectly your soul is shaped .... it will find out that it has not and cannot cease to exist .... And this fate is unconsciously dreaded by you humans who fear death.

Yet you ought to remember the One Who has overcome death .... Jesus Christ wants to awaken you to life, He wants to give you an eternally-indestructible life which you shall never lose again. Accept His gift of grace, remember Him during fearful hours and commend your soul to Him, and appeal to Him not to let it fall prey to death, but to have mercy on it and to help it attain life .... And, truly, you will not have sent your appeal to Him in vain .... Your fear will disappear to be replaced by blissful calm, a calm which only Jesus Christ can bestow upon the soul. The living faith in Jesus Christ dispels all dread of death, for the human being knows that he will rise again, just as Jesus Christ arose on the third day.

But anyone without this faith in Him will fear death or believe that he will cease to exist, that he will return into oblivion from where he imagines himself to have emerged .... And he, as well as all others who lived on earth without Christ, will have a rude awakening .... And it will take a long time until they are convinced that they have not perished, but that they can only escape their lifeless state if they call upon the One Whom they refused to acknowledge on earth, but Who alone can give them life again .... Death need only be the transition into a new and immortal life .... It need not worry people on any account, because Jesus Christ has prevailed over it, because He accomplished the act of Salvation in order to deliver people from a condition which had been brought into the world by His adversary .... But Jesus' act of Salvation and resurrection are not properly valued by people .... Many know of them and yet do not believe, and therefore they are also unable to derive the benefit from the effects of the act of Salvation and resurrection .... But the living faith gives people firm confidence and therefore also removes their every fear of death .... And these will blissfully fall asleep in the Lord and joyfully awaken with Him in the kingdom of light and beatitude .... For they will eternally not taste death again, they will only ever have eternal life ....

Amen

"Fear not, only believe ...."

B.D. 3929 from December 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 49

Do not be afraid, but only believe .... Where all human strength fails, where earthly help no longer seems possible, My might is not at an end, and again and again I find ways which lead out of the darkness, out of all adversity and distress, earthly and spiritual. Hope in Me and My help and I will truly not disappoint you .... In the last days you will often be confronted with difficulties, yet you need never despair, never fear that I am far away from you. For in adversity I am closer to you than ever. You only need to believe in My love which will never ever leave you alone, which will never ever abandon you to adversity and misery .... You must believe in My omnipotence, which is able to cope with everything and for which there are no limits to creation .... You must believe in My wisdom which does not arbitrarily let you get into adversity and distress but has very well recognized since eternity what is good for your soul and its perfection. And if you believe deeply and firmly nothing will frighten you anymore, for you will always feel Me close to you and place all your suffering and worries at My feet, you will place yourselves at My mercy and you will not expect My help in vain. Fear not, but only believe .... What can frighten you, what can harm you if you have Me, if you have My assurance that I will always help you in all situations in life .... what can make you weak and discouraged if you can constantly avail yourselves of My strength which flows towards you if only you ask for it .... Fulfil My will, always fulfil the commandment of love, then you will also constantly be in possession of strength and no longer need to fear anything earthly and spiritually, for then you will be united with Me and My presence will eliminate every adversity and worry, even though it approaches you earthly .... For I take it from you and you can completely trustingly hand yourselves over to this assurance, you can fearlessly walk every path, no matter how thorny and arduous it may seem .... I always walk beside you and protect and shelter you, I give you strength and draw your hearts to Me .... and the more you detach yourselves from the world and unite with Me, the less you feel earthly hardship .... The time of the end has come which places great demands on your faith, therefore only seek to gain a firm unshakeable faith, therefore pray without ceasing and pay attention to every help so that you will become strong in faith and you will not need to fear whatever comes your way, for a firm faith banishes every disaster, a firm faith secures you My help, My strength and grace in every adversity and distress of body and soul ....

Amen

Strong faith and trust in God's help ....

B.D. 3989 from March 2nd 1947, taken from Book No. 49

Complete trust in My help is the surest guarantee, and thus it is always up to you yourselves to what extent you experience My help and with what severity earthly adversity oppresses you. For I will remedy it according to your faith, after all, the purpose of adversity is to win you over and to strengthen your faith in My love and omnipotence within you. Spiritual hardship, on the other hand, I will remedy according to your will to love, according to your desire for Me. For you will only feel spiritual hardship as hardship when you believe in Me and consciously strive towards Me, only then will you realize your soul's imperfection, and you will feel this as hardship and then request My support, My help and grace in order to become perfect. Then you will also never make a wrong request, for your will to change is now the guarantee for it, you will succeed with My help. But saving your soul from spiritual adversity is far more important as long as you live on earth, for earthly adversity comes to an end with your earthly demise, but the soul's adversity remains and can only be remedied by your own will, which, however, is extremely weak in the beyond if it has not already striven for a change of soul on earth. First recognize your spiritual adversity and humbly turn to Me for help, then trustingly present your earthly adversity to Me and I will also release you from it .... I will intervene so that you can recognize Me and with certainty where My own dwell, where a strong faith firmly expects My help without doubt and misgivings .... There I am constantly ready to help in order not to cause such faith to waver and to still strengthen a weak faith. And if you are still weak in faith, immerse yourselves in My word and, through the strength of My word, also increase the strength of your faith. For if you let Me speak to you I will be able to remedy your spiritual adversity at the same time and My word will not remain ineffective on you, you will feel, if you are of good will, that I only speak words of truth to you, that My love wants to give you what you lack, that I want to give to you spiritually and earthly in order to win you for Me, in order to bring a profound unshakeable faith to maturity in you. For this makes you free from all weakness of body and soul. A strong faith is your own strength, for then you will also know that you are never without help and that you can overcome everything with My support, with My strength, which you can acquire yourselves through faith. Therefore, again and again I have to impose tests of faith on you, again and again I have to let you experience earthly adversity so that your faith will revive, so that you will present your earthly adversity to Me and then fully trustingly expect My help. And you will receive it because I also want to help you to have strong faith so that you will also face greater adversity without worry and fear, so that you will always oppose it with My certain help and I can now take it away from you. For I will truly never disappoint a believing earthly child which trusts in the father’s help. My love will remove earthly and spiritual adversity from you if you believe in Me and My love ....

Amen

Shield of faith .... Trust .... God's protection ....

B.D. 4720 from August 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54

I Am giving you a genuine gift, and in realising it you should be joyful. How can the world possibly harm you if I stand before you as a shield and let nothing harm you? Hence, take your stand behind the shield of faith and you will be protected against all attacks by those with ill intentions. I will always stand by you, always ready to protect you whenever you are in danger. And this belief has to be so certain in you that you thereby banish all fear and distress. I Am with you and hold on to you so that you will not get caught in the undergrowth, in the many worldly obstacles to which you fear to succumb. Just look up and call to Me in thought, then you will never walk alone but always in My company, able to live untroubled until the end of your days. Although the world will still badly bother you it should not cause you fear, for I Am stronger than the world, and if the world pesters you though I want you to be at peace, then it will be unable to harm you. Therefore, be joyful and happy and despise the world, that is to say, ignore it and what emerges from it. My kingdom will compensate you for what the earthly world denies to you, and to dwell in My kingdom is truly more desirable, for it will not disappoint you.

I Am also Lord over this earthly world and control your earthly life too, but you should leave this concern entirely to Me and not burden yourselves with it, because the state of your soul is far more important and you alone have to improve it. I can put your earthly life in order for you but you will have to shape your spiritual life in accordance with your will. And in order that nothing shall stop you from improving your soul I will take care of your body and all it requires to maintain and fulfil its earthly task. And because I make this promise to you, you can truly commend yourselves to Me, every experience will be for the benefit of your soul. Therefore I only expect your complete trust in My assistance and you will be helped with every problem you have. For nothing is impossible to Me, and all threads in eternity are controlled by My will, in wisdom and greater than great love .... always for the benefit of My living creations, for whom I want to prepare an eternally blissful fate ....

Amen

Reassuring advice to have faith ....

B.D. 3802 from June 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You are so timid and fearful and yet could be so strong with firm faith in Me and My willingness to help .... Nothing is impossible, for My power accomplishes everything, and even seemingly impossible help can be granted to you if only you have faith. And therefore you need not be deterred by anything, you need not let hardship nor worry discourage you once you hand them over to Me in firm belief of My love and omnipotence .... Then I will help you and even solve the most difficult earthly problem .... For I will not leave My Own and will be their helper in every adversity and peril. Where else should My love and power express Itself, if not to those who strive towards Me of their own accord, and with the love of a child put their trust in the Father to help them in every hardship? .... Where else should the strength of faith be applied if not to those who are My true children, because they acknowledge and love Me and always try to fulfil My will?

When you speak of God’s greater than great love, then it will surely extend to His living creations, for love takes hold of everything and desires unification. And thus, the Father’s heart, too, moves towards His children and wants to give them unlimited love in order to please them now and eternally. The Father’s love expresses itself in never-ending helpfulness, in keeping every danger at bay, in giving the child profound wisdom and knowledge .... But the child has to accept its Father’s gifts without resistance, then it will mature and hold on to its Father with heartfelt love and be indescribably happy.

Would you then be able to experience any kind of adversity that could not be averted by the Father? Hence you should totally trust in Me and not become fearful when you are approached by hardship due to My permission or My will ....

I want to test and fortify your faith so that it will become increasingly more steadfast, and the less you fail the closer I will be to you, for I will never leave you again once you have found Me. And whatever happens, it will be good for you, for you truly do not recognise the urgency and purpose of your earthly fate. But I know how you can be helped best, and you can unreservedly trust in My guidance, you need not fear for a moment but always just take refuge in My love which will never be withdrawn from you again. Believe firmly and steadfastly that I will help you .... and My help will not fail to materialise, so that you will clearly recognise the strength of faith, so that you will feel Me and My activity, and as My children join Me ever more intimately until nothing will be able to separate you from the Father’s heart, no matter what goes on around you .... And therefore you can look forward to every day with complete confidence, and you should even believe firmly when you sense great unrest around you, for you will banish every threatening adversity through your faith, as I have promised, that strength of faith will be able to do everything .... that nothing is impossible for God ....

Amen

"Come all to Me ...."

B.D. 7047 from February 23rd 1958, taken from Book No. 75

In prayer you have an extremely effective remedy for every earthly and spiritual adversity, for a right prayer which is addressed to Me in spirit and in truth truly does not fail to have an effect. I cannot and will not close My ear to it, and I will use My power to help you even where earthly help seems impossible. But first you must enter into trust in Me, you must know that I am the father of all of you Who loves His children and does not want to leave them in hardship and suffering, even if these are necessary for your soul .... and you must know that there is nothing for Me which I cannot change, and that there is also no illness which is impossible for Me to heal .... entrust yourselves to Me, present all your needs to Me in all childlikeness, speak to Me as a child speaks to its father, and be not faithless but believing .... You all don't yet know how to appreciate the power of prayer, otherwise you would truly be spared much adversity and suffering, because I gladly listen to the pleas of a child which comes to Me in all confidentiality and hands over its small cross to Me so that I may carry it for it. I have borne all your sins and died for them on the cross, I have suffered for you the suffering which your guilt of sin had burdened you with .... You could go through your earthly life without suffering if you wanted to unite with Me so intimately that all your burden would rest on My shoulders and that you would walk freely and light-heartedly along the path to the height .... But you all still keep yourselves too far away from Me, you don't come closer to Me in confidentiality, and therefore you yourselves often still feel the burden of the cross which, however, should only urge you towards Me because you should live in intimate communion with Me. But you can prove this intimate fellowship to Me in right prayer, I always hear and listen to a right prayer which is spoken to Me in confidence, for I have promised you this with the words: "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" and "Ask and it shall be given you..." My promises are truth, and you will always be allowed to experience the proof of this if only you turn to Me in right prayer. But as soon as you doubt, your prayer will lose its effect of strength. And only rarely is your faith of such strength that all doubt is excluded .... Only rarely do you have the certainty that you will be helped when you pray, which only proves an undoubted faith. But you should know that My word is truth and that when I Myself speak to you .... you have to ward off all doubt, for you should believe that no thing is impossible with God .... always remember that everything you see only came into being through the strength of My will, remember that I let new creations arise at any time, which cannot be denied by people. And therefore also remember that it is truly possible for Me to restore the old order which is disturbed due to illnesses or other earthly circumstances which cause you humans problems. I can put everything back into order, and I will do so as soon as you approach Me with faithful trust, as soon as you come to the father like children and present your requests to Me. The grace of prayer is available to all of you, you can all make use of it, for I have said: "Come to Me, all of you ...." but do not just speak words without spirit and life, call Me very close to you and then pour out your heart to Me and truly, you will be helped, I will not let your faith go to waste ....

Amen

God's help to the trusting supplicant ....

B.D. 5999 from July 11th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

I truly don't want to leave you in weakness who appeal to Me for strength and grace, and I want to provide for you like a father provides for his children whose will he recognizes as good and turned towards him. At times I let the feeling of weakness arise in you because I want to bind you ever more firmly to Me in order to show you that you can be strong with Me and that you have nothing to fear if only you firmly attach yourselves to Me and thus you can now dispose of My strength. You are never alone, even if I keep Myself hidden .... But your call lets Me come out of hiding; therefore don't forget Me .... and no matter how great your adversity is, don't let it gain power over you but don't pay attention to it and trustingly come to Me. It is precisely this trust which also secures you help, for only then will you be My true children if you have no doubts about My might and My love. Can there be anything I cannot remedy? Can people prevent Me from working and can you be harmed when I watch over you? Yet I demand of you that you approach Me for help .... Any adversity only comes upon you because I want to cause you to enter into or deepen the bond with Me .... Try to make this purpose of every adversity clear to yourselves, always remember when you get into an adversity that I allow it because I want to be even more intimately united with you but that you have to accomplish this yourselves, that the adversity is only a small reminder that you should long for My presence more intimately .... I don't want you humans to go your own ways where you don't let Me walk beside you .... I want to be your constant companion, and therefore your paths will become impassable or dangerous if you walk them alone and I want you to call for Me, for the guide Who will always safely lead you over all obstacles on your path. Whenever you are confronted by adversity, first come to Me in confidence and submit it to Me .... For I want you to renounce what oppresses you, I don't want to be ignored, I always want to be the father to Whom you entrust yourselves, and your trust will truly be rewarded, for where no human being can help you My power is not limited, I can always help you, and I always want to help those who come to the father like children and appeal to Him for His help ....

Amen

Contact with Jesus Christ in every adversity ....

B.D. 6363 from September 23rd 1955, taken from Book No. 68

You humans must be in heartfelt contact with Jesus Christ if you want to release yourselves from all flaws and weaknesses, from vices and cravings, from all kinds of bad habits .... if you want to become perfect. He alone can help you achieve it, and He will do so if you appeal for it and thereby testify to your faith in Him as the divine Redeemer. Therefore, as soon as you have to struggle, as soon as you are inwardly dissatisfied with yourselves, turn only to Him, for He fully understands every human weakness, because He lived on earth Himself as the human being Jesus .... But He also has the means to help you .... He strengthens your will and gives you the necessary strength for it from His treasure of grace, which He acquired through His death on the cross .... You will not take the path to Him in vain, you will definitely receive help if only you desire help .... And thus you should always take care to establish and maintain the connection with Him. No-one else can grant you help, He alone can and also wants to do so, because it is His Own will that you should become free from all shackles which pull you down, it is His Own will that you should regain your past perfection, so that He can admit you into His kingdom when you must leave this earth. He wants you to return into your Father's house to become as happy again as you were in the beginning .... For this reason He will do everything in His power to make this return possible for you, and He will not hold back His gifts of grace, for He descended to earth in order to help you, because you were no longer capable of ascending to the light on your own .... He died for you humans on the cross and does not want to have made this sacrifice in vain, it is His will that all people shall partake in the blessings of the sacrifice on the cross .... that they will all reach the goal for which He sacrificed Himself ....

However, you must come to Him yourselves, you must entrust yourselves to Him in your distress and appeal for His help and it will be given to you. For this reason you should always become conscious of His presence .... You need only call Him to your side with a thought and He will walk beside you wherever you go .... The mental contact with Him will assure His presence, and if Jesus Christ is close to you, you will speak to Him like a brother and confide in Him; tell Him everything that bothers you, but let your requests be more of a spiritual nature, even though you will also receive His full support in earthly adversities .... But first consider the state of your soul and, if you discover imperfections, approach Jesus Christ trustingly with the plea to release you from every shackle, from every evil which separates you from Him. Treat Jesus Christ with the same familiarity as you treat your brother, and don't be shy to reveal even your most secret faults and sins to Him. His love is infinite and He will forgive them and help you achieve complete freedom because you acknowledge Him, because you believe in Him and His act of Salvation. Yet no-one who excludes Him from his life, who does not acknowledge Jesus' act of Salvation and God's human manifestation in Him, can cope with his faults and vices by himself, for he will lack all strength and his resolve to seriously tackle the work of changing his nature will be weak .... He will not be able to achieve anything until he has entrusted himself to the divine Redeemer .... for every person who wants to be released from the control of God's adversary must call upon Jesus Christ and hand himself over to Him with complete trust .... Only then can he be saved, only then will he have the strength to change himself in order to enter the spiritual kingdom in a redeemed state, in order to return into the Father's house for good ....

Amen

Fully Trusting Prayer ....

B.D. 8455 from April 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 89

And if you get into earthly distress only a heartfelt call to Me will suffice and I will protect you and keep all adversity away from you, yet this call has to come from the heart and not just be a lip prayer, for a call from the heart is also the evidence of trust, it is proof of a living faith which I will fulfil at all times. How easily your earthly life could be covered by you if you were constantly in intimate contact with Me, always aware that you can entrust yourselves to your father and always be heard by Him .... My love for you is truly endless, and it also grants you everything that is helpful for your soul .... But you will also no longer request anything from Me which could harm you, for the intimate bond with Me also presupposes a certain spiritual maturity, your desire to be allowed to hand yourselves over to Me is also the guarantee that I can now act like a father towards his child, for you are no longer disobedient to Me, you have already passed the test of will which is the purpose of your earthly life .... It is the most beautiful awareness for you that you may feel like children who never ask the father in vain, and henceforth you will no longer walk any path alone, for I will be your constant companion because I want to protect you against every enemy, be he a danger to you on earth or in the spiritual kingdom .... Just give yourselves to Me in complete trust and your earthly path will be so easy for you that you will also reach the goal effortlessly. You are only weak for as long as you keep your distance from Me, and you have to fight for as long as you keep your distance from Me; but if you are united with Me through your heartfelt devotion to Me, through your will, your love and constant thoughts, then you will also feel strong and no longer fear any oppression. If you consider yourselves My children, you will also be cared for and looked after by Me as father. But you must not exclude Me from your thoughts, for then you will certainly be harassed by My adversary in many ways and I will not be able to help you, because you will have to consciously turn to Me in order to be allowed to experience My love and help as well ..... However, an intimate bond with Me requires living faith, whereas a formal faith will only ever result in formal prayers which do not reach My ear, because I want to be called upon in spirit and in truth .... A living faith, in turn, demands a life of love, for a person can never believe alive who is without love, because without love he is also distant from Me, Who is the Eternal Love .... But I want to be close to you, so close that you will feel My presence, and then you will also speak to Me trustingly like children, and I can return your address, I can prove My presence to you by granting your requests and by always binding you more firmly to Me .... For My bond of love will be eternally indissoluble, which now unites us for time and eternity. And you cannot measure the blessing you will receive from My presence but you will be able to hear Me, your Father will speak to you and you will recognize My voice and be happy because bright light will flood you at the same time .... For My ray of love, which now strikes you, must spread bright light and make you blissfully happy .... Just always seek closest contact with Me through heartfelt prayer, through the child's intimate dialogue with its father .... And your walk across earth will be easy and carefree, for the bond which you once voluntarily severed has now been restored in free will and can no longer be severed for ever .... But I look kindly upon My children, I no longer let them walk along without a guide, I avert all danger to body and soul, and I always draw My children closer to Me so that they can no longer abandon Me because they feel safe in My care. Entrust yourselves to Me, your Father, at all times and believe that My love will provide you with everything in order to please you, because then your soul will long for Me and I can now also provide for it spiritually and earthly and because My love constantly wants to give itself away and give happiness to all beings on earth and in the spiritual kingdom ....

Jesus as leader ....

B.D. 7496 from January 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

Where is your path leading to if you have not chosen Me as your leader? .... This is what you should ask yourselves time and again and desire nothing other than My becoming your leader, to Whom you can entrust yourselves and safely walk by His hand through earthly life. And truly, you will always be led correctly, you will not take wrong paths and distance yourselves from the goal, you will always take the right paths by which you can reach the heavenly kingdom, for then you will be travelling the path to the Father's house, to your eternal home. But you have to request My leadership .... I won't impose Myself on you, I will not try to influence you against your will to take or avoid these or those paths .... I want to be asked to be your leader always and everywhere .... I want you to appeal to Me that I should guide and lead you across all uneven paths, and I want you to entrust yourselves to My guidance without resistance, that you will follow Me on the path which I precede in order to guide you to the eternal home. For only one path is leading to it, which is steep and requires exertion, it necessitates strength, a firm staff and support for your safe passage ....

Just let Me always be your leader and you will soon be incapable of going wrong, you will not need to worry that the path will lead you astray or become impassable for you and your failing strength .... If I precede you, you can follow without worry, for I know the best way to the goal, and I will truly shorten the path for you, clear it of all obstructions, carry you across all obstacles and always take you by the hand so that you will reach the goal safely and without harm. But you have to entrust yourselves to Me without reservation, you must not hesitate or fear to be guided wrongly, for you will never be able to find a better leader than Me in earthly life, regardless of how many loyal friends you find amongst your fellow human beings, but they nevertheless don't all know the path of ascent which leads to Me .... And this is why you should always just keep to Me, but then don't worry any longer, for once you entrust yourselves to Me I will reward your confidence and take you into My protective care on your earthly course of life. And you will barely notice your progress, for walking next to Me also means receiving My strength, being able to hold you by My hand and thus effortlessly covering the ascent, on account of which you live on earth. For this path has to lead upwards. As long as you walk on even ground, your path is not the right one, since your goal is up above and accordingly it also requires strength, which you can always receive from Me if you have chosen Me as your leader for your earthly course of life.

Yet this life is hard if you walk alone or give My adversary the right to join you, who will know only too well how to embellish the path and fill it with temptations, so that you won't notice that it does not lead upward but into the abyss .... Then you will be in great danger, for you will prolong your path of return to Me or make it entirely impossible, for I cannot be found below, and the path that is leading through lovely meadows, which is easy and travelled by the children of the world, is not leading to Me but inevitably into the abyss, from where it is incredibly difficult to ascend and will take an endlessly long period of time again. Nevertheless, you have to choose the leader yourselves; you need only ask Me to assume guidance over your earthly life, and I will be with you and displace the other one, when he wants to join you. For if you call upon Me as your leader you will also be relieved from all responsibility, then I will act on your behalf and direct and lead you onto the right paths, so that you will safely reach your goal: that you will return to Me in your true home, that you will enter into your Father's house where I Am waiting for you in order to unite with you again for all eternity ....

Full trust in God and His love ....

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

Amen

"Ask and it will be given to you ...." - "Come to Me, all of you ...."

B.D. 5852 from January 12th 1954, taken from Book No. 63

Just turn to Me in all hardships, spiritual or earthly, and I will help you, for I have given you the promise: Ask and it will be given to you .... knock, and it will be opened to you .... And therefore you will not call upon Me in vain if only you fully believe this promise of Mine. I alone can help you and I also want to help you because I love you. But you often don't recognize My help and therefore not My love either, yet no call to Me will go unheard if it is sent up to Me in spirit and in truth .... Entrust Me with what oppresses you, yet also believe that nothing will come upon you but that which can bring your soul salvation. And already the connection through prayer, which is the result of this adversity, is a plus for your soul, for it confesses Me through prayer and can now also be considered by Me according to its faith. Don't let yourselves be depressed by any earthly adversity, for you have one Who can take it away from you at any time and Who has given you this assurance with the words: Ask and it will be given to you .... And if you are in spiritual hardship, if you call upon Me to help your soul, then know that I will listen to you extremely willingly and that no spiritual request will remain unfulfilled. But you are in spiritual distress when your soul is oppressed by darkness, when it lacks light, when it lacks My strength of love, when it feels oppressed by forces of darkness .... And then every call to Me also means immediate help, for I will not leave you in the soul's adversity if only you faithfully call upon My name, which is the epitome of redemption for you from death and sin .... from darkness and weakness .... and you will experience the power that lies in the naming of My name; you will be helped in every adversity if only you devoutly pronounce My name, thereby expressing your faith in Me as redeemer of the world .... I took all the sufferings and all the sins of humanity on My shoulders .... I bore them for you humans .... and thus you may also burden Me with all your sufferings and hardships if you are in danger of collapsing under them. I will not leave you in adversity because I have promised you My help with the words: "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ...." Believe and you will be helped, for My power is unlimited and My love never ends, My love is for all people who call upon Me in their distress ....

Amen
