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.

Act of creating the spiritual beings ....

B.D. 7067 from March 17th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

It is My will that you shall be enlightened where darkness prevails. People who don't question cannot receive answers, but those who want to know and turn to Me Myself will receive My reply so that they will learn to recognise Me in My love and wisdom and grant their love to Me .... The act of creating the spiritual beings was a spiritual process which will only be understandable to you humans when you enter the kingdom of light. As long as you live on earth it can only be roughly outlined to you according to your level of understanding. Nevertheless, it will not divert from the truth, but it will lack both the deeper reasons as well as the infinitely many intermediate processes which, however, would not contribute towards your enlightenment either. However, you can rest assured that I will not let your thinking become confused, since you only wish to be instructed in the truth. When I created the first being I was only motivated by the thought of creating a vessel for Myself which was intended to assimilate My ceaselessly outpouring strength of love .... because My infinite love wanted to give itself and only ever provide happiness .... My strength of love constantly brought forth all kinds of spiritual creations. Therefore I also wanted to create something that corresponded to Me Myself, thus an image of Me. And My will came to pass .... a being of supreme perfection arose beside Me which was pleasing to Me, which was indescribably beautiful, it was an image of Myself which from then on was so permeated by My strength of love that it was equally able to be creatively active without limitation. And just as the source of My strength of love had motivated Me into shaping a receiving vessel into which it could flow, the same will and desire also arose in this being to make use of the constant influx of My love's strength and, likewise, to let beings arise from within itself. Thus the same process repeated itself, because I wanted to let this first-created being participate in the incredible bliss of giving life to like-natured beings, for as an 'image' of Myself it was imbued with the same feelings, it was overflowing with love, and the strength it constantly received from Me did not keep the being inactive either .... which resulted in this very process of creating countless beings .... Hence these created beings could not be different from My first-created being .... they were supremely perfect, brightly radiant and overwhelmingly powerful spirits which all corresponded to the image I had externalised. Through My influx of strength, which made the act of creating these beings possible in the first place, I was therefore also their 'Creator', although the will of the first-created being had to avail itself first of this strength of Mine. Hence all beings emerged from Me and My first image .... and all beings possessed the same creative power. But My will was also active in all originally created beings, the host of originally created spirits were inflamed with burning love for Me, because My fire of love was their fundamental element, they had been the products of purest love and therefore all created beings were also positively inclined towards Me ....

Endless times passed by in most blissful harmony and a constant exchange of love .... and this state need never have changed. But then the process of creating took on a different form .... which should only be understood in a spiritual sense. This was triggered by the desire of My first-created being, the bearer of light, to see Me. The being's love for Me was still unchanged and therefore it desired to behold Me even though it knew that I, as the 'centre of strength and light' could not be visible to My created beings, which would have ceased to exist in view of My abundance of light .... it would have consumed the created beings .... which were sparks of My light .... and thus a beholding of Me was not possible. And because it was unable to behold Me the thought flashed up in it to become independent from Me and more or less present itself to the host of originally created being as 'Creator itself' .... a thought which arose as a consequence of the desire to see Me despite better knowledge. As an attribute of perfection all beings also possessed free will which, however, always corresponded to My will. And this free will allowed for the said mental confusion .... Thus the bearer of light, Lucifer, was not prevented by Me from aiming his will in the wrong direction. Even so, the process of creation started to falter, that is, as long as his will no longer harmonised with Mine he more or less closed himself off to the flow of My love, yet always just temporarily, for at first his resistance was so small that love nevertheless came through again and he utterly devoted himself to Me once more, which then also resulted in an unabated flow of My strength of love and thus continued creative activity. But time and again the wrong thoughts kept emerging in him because he did not confide them in Me Myself so that I could have refuted them .... For he temporarily excluded Me without realising that he thereby lessened his strength .... As soon as he loosened the bond with Me through wrongly inclined thoughts the inflow of strength of love also lessened; however, he did not realise this in view of the countless multitude of spirits he had already called into existence through his will and the use of My strength .... Time and again it must be emphasised that My strength enabled him to create the beings in the first place and that only his love for Me gave him the strength .... so it is understandable, that a reduction of his love also reduced the influx of strength. And at the same time, every created being was also the proof of Lucifer's connection with Me .... thus no other being could arise after Lucifer consciously separated from Me, on account of which all created beings belong to Me as well, for they are 'My emanated strength of love'. And yet a large proportion of all created beings had fallen away from Me .... And that justifies the question as to whether the beings differed in their fundamental substance ....

I only externalised one being as an independent entity .... And this being was created in My image. Consequently, all spiritual beings which were brought into existence by this being had to entirely correspond to Me and My image again .... They were the same perfect, most radiantly shining living creations, for only something supremely perfect was able to emerge from our mutual love and will, which both corresponded to each other .... beings, which were by no means inferior to the first-created bearer of light .... Hence they were equally extremely powerful and ablaze with burning love for Me, even though they were unable to behold Me. Nevertheless, they recognised Me, for I also revealed Myself to them through the Word. It was an infinitely large number of spirits which glorified Me and sang My praises, which, in reverence, were willing to serve Me and which were only ever active according to My will, thus they were images of Me Myself. And this indescribably happy multitude of spirits should have increased the light bearer's love for Me ever more .... Yet various feelings in him began to oppose each other: He saw the gloriously radiating beings and desired to behold Me as well .... Since he was visible to the beings he deemed himself superior to Me and no longer wanted to acknowledge Me as the One from Whom everything had emerged, despite the fact that he knew that he, too, had originated from Me. Conscious of the strength permeating him, he began to separate himself from the source of strength .... a process which lasted for an infinitely long time because the desire for happiness repeatedly pushed him back to Me and therefore he repeatedly received strength again for the creation of new beings. And so these beings, too, consisted of the same fundamental substance, namely of My emanated strength of love; however the sporadic separation from Me also influenced the process of creation to a certain extent, insofar as those beings' will and love was more inclined towards their maker than Me .... but I neither tried to influence these beings nor the bearer of light. Yet they were equally enlightened, they recognised Me as their Creator and were therefore also able to make the right decision in free will when this important decision was demanded of them.

My first-created being was connected with all beings produced by him, just as I was inseparably linked with all beings because My strength of love had to permeate them were they to continue to exist. My adversary tried to maintain the connection with his created beings even after his will was already opposing Mine .... that is, he also inspired the first spirits into turning away from Me and a number of of them succumbed to his temptation, Lucifer also pulled them into the abyss and their realisation should have truly made them abhor his disgraceful plan. And their sin was far greater still, therefore, their path of return will also be considerably more difficult .... whereas the majority of the first-created beings remained with Me when the followers of My present adversary detached themselves from Me. The hidden resistance with which Lucifer started to oppose Me resulted in the fact that an infinitely large host of created spirits decided partly for and partly against Me when the test of will was expected of them. For the resistance disturbed the hitherto integrated whole .... My former image was no longer governed by the same will, the same love, it had caused a rift and this division was also felt by the beings which had emerged from our love, which were now like their maker, even though My strength was involved in their creation. But since this resistance had not been present in the first-created spiritual being, since the light bearer's love and will were completely merged with Mine, it was only possible for such beings to emerge from our love which utterly corresponded to us, whose brilliant abundance of light and unlimited strength were true images of Me Myself as well as of the being which I had externalised from Me in My love .... and which also, with a few exceptions, remained with Me. And the same process occurred in the latter as happened in Lucifer: free will aimed in the wrong direction .... they desired to see their God and Creator and drew the wrong conclusions from My necessary invisibility by acknowledging that which was 'visible' to them as their 'God', who then exalted himself and drew countless beings to himself, which all detached themselves volitionally from Me and thereby plunged into the abyss ....

Once all created beings glowed with light and strength, because nothing could have arisen without the flow of My love's strength. The reduced emanation of light only began with Lucifer's reduced love for Me, but this did not mean that these beings were lacking the light of realisation, for at the moment of creating the beings My strength of love also permeated the maker of all the beings again; but these moments became increasingly less frequent until he voluntarily rebelled against Me and was no longer able to receive any influx of strength because he rejected it by believing himself to be just as powerful as Me .... And then his state of mind became dark as well .... He .... who once had been in My image .... became My direct opposite, his nature reversed completely, he had sunk into the deepest abyss and his followers with him, whom he regarded as his supposed power and strength. The highest being, having emerged from My love, had sunk the lowest, because it misused its free will, the characteristic of divine origin .... And it was left up to every being to aim this will in My or his direction, every being was able to pass the test of will because every being possessed the light of realisation and also had the strength at its disposal to resist the urging for its maker .... But neither will every fallen being ever lose My love, for My love let it arise and My love will never ever let it perish again, but until it surrenders its resistance it will not be able to feel My love and thus remain wretched. However, one day its resistance will diminish and the being will look for My love again and consciously take the path of return to Me .... Then it will recognise My inconceivable love, it will recognise its God and Creator in Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself became for all beings the visible God, Whom they desired to see and Who prepared for them the path of return into the Father's house ....

Amen

Regarding the question of the origin of evil ....

B.D. 8883 from November 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

No matter what might weigh you down .... bring all your worries to Me, for only I can help you and I will help you, as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me. However, I expect a firm faith of you in the truth of what you hear through My spirit. For only your strength of faith enables your unreserved trust that I cannot offer you anything but the pure truth .... But once you have recognised the truth it is also your duty to distribute it, for nothing is more dangerous than to tolerate an error which will inevitably result in an even greater error. For error is used by the adversary to draw you into darkness .... But it is My will that the pure truth shall prevail and I therefore only ever instruct My messengers to stand up for this recognised truth in order to eradicate every error, for only truth leads to perfection .... And the truth is and will remain that you all emerged from My love .... and therefore also in all perfection .... but that you left the order and thereby became sinful .... Time and time again I say to you that My adversary .... who, as My image, was once externalised as a highest spirit of light .... on account of his apostasy from Me brought sin into the world in the first place, that therefore Lucifer, as My image, was endowed with the same creative power and by virtue of this gave birth to sin, that it did not exist in any being before and that it is therefore utterly erroneous that I Myself include many opposites .... In that case I would not be perfect and would never have been able to create perfect beings either. Just as My inherent qualities were only good, only divine, just as love was the first principle .... Lucifer had evil in him after his fall into sin. His whole nature turned around, he became fundamentally evil and was driven by hatred, his nature was pure falsehood and the complete opposite of truth .... You can never ever assume that untruth and truth, darkness and light, hatred and love .... thus every opposing quality, are in Me, for this would not correspond to a perfect Being Whose fundamental substance is love .... Indeed, all of these characteristics cling to the human being but these are the consequences of rejecting My strength of love .... If I create a perfect being then it means that it completely moves within My eternal order, and it would never have had to revoke this order either. But a second power was at work which used its power negatively to the same extent and also transferred this negative strength onto the beings which fell away .... which thus rejected My illumination of love and thereby acknowledged this power which transferred all evil characteristics upon these beings. These were all the after-effects of the apostasy from Me for which Lucifer is responsible, since no opposites exist in Me or I could not be called a God of love, if hatred was within Me already .... Nor would I be a God of truth if lies existed in Me at the same time ....

You humans must really think clearly, your statements do not correspond to the image that I Am and will remain a supremely perfect Being from eternity to eternity Which was able to work and create in all perfection, Which shelters no imperfections, Whose love will never end and will also include the fallen beings for all eternity. The fact that My likewise powerful adversary would so abuse his power in order to create a world which conflicted with the world of the pure spirits was indeed possible, because his free will aspired towards all characteristics which contradicted My perfect nature and then he transferred these characteristics upon the host of fallen spirits. Consequently, where I Am pure truth he opposes it with untruth .... Where I grant love he brings forth hatred .... Where I provide light he spreads darkness. He changes all noble characteristics embodied in the Divine into evil ones, and the more the beings rejected My illumination of love the stronger became his influence. Everything evil emerged from him and humanity is more or less afflicted by his ingrained failings, the whole earthly world is a world of opposition to Me but which one day will be broken by My infinite love .... For you ought to know that Lucifer was once the most blissfully happy being, created in all perfection and also remained in this bliss for an infinitely long time .... but that he, by rejecting the strength of love, created evil himself by virtue of his power and became My direct opposite .... And all those who followed him adopted the evil characteristics and opposed Me. For the rejection of My strength of love resulted in their solidification, so that they had to be reshaped as Creation and must cover the infinitely long process through the creations in order to then fight as a human being against all ungodly characteristics which Lucifer transferred upon the fallen beings .... And now it depends on whether they will accept the illumination of love of their own free will again, for My love is omnipotent and one day it will achieve a situation in which every being opens itself and desires My love, but then it will also be a most blissfully happy being which has reached the goal of having become My child and will never leave Me again, it will have joined Me again and will be as perfect as it was in the beginning.

Amen

Redemption of Lucifer .... resistance to the test of will ....

B.D. 6245 from April 24th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

The world with all its creations contains spiritual substances in different degrees of development, which now also determines the nature of the different creations. Mature spiritual substances which are in the light no longer need material creations, whereas immature spiritual substances need material creations for their stay in order to mature therein .... And thus it can certainly be said that the visible creations are My adversary's kingdom because they contain precisely that spiritual substance which still belongs to him of its own will. Nevertheless, he cannot determine it to work according to his will because the power over the spiritual bound in the creations is withdrawn from him. And therefore it is also possible that an ascent development of the spiritual takes place in the works of creation without being able to be prevented by My adversary, and that one day the time will come for the spiritual when it can decide again in possession of free will to whom it wants to belong .... Me or My adversary, but which would never be possible if the latter previously had unlimited influence on the spiritual being in the state of bound will. And thus it follows that My adversary's power is already broken and only extends to the human being .... thus actually only the human being is the adversary's possession if he does not let himself be helped by Me .... Creation was only the consequence of the mind of the first-created being, it was the consequence of the abuse of his will .... For I took care of all creatures deceived by him and paved a way that led back from the depth to the height .... I withdrew them from his power and bound them into the creations .... but I have to leave the influence on the human being to him because it concerns a free decision for Me or My adversary and because what remains with him in free will belongs to him. Moreover, the first being emerged from My love, I externalized it as My image as a free being, and I will never dispute this being's right .... But neither will I ever deny the being that emerged from Me in the same perfection the same right to decide freely .... And therefore I had to withdraw it from its influence until it is capable of making a free decision of will itself. And that is why I let creation come into being .... I reshaped, as it were, the fallen spiritual substance .... since it did not fulfil its initial purpose, I let the strength once emanated for the creation of beings become effective elsewhere .... in apparently dead and in life-producing creations which now had to fulfil their purpose according to My will .... the will of My adversary was thus now completely switched off until the strength gathered again and gradually became the being once emanated by Me again .... But this being must now have full freedom of decision again and therefore also be exposed to My adversary's influence just as it is to Mine and steer towards its aim in free will .... So now My adversary reigns again in his world .... because the being still belongs to him until it voluntarily turns away from him and strives towards Me ....

The adversary relationship between Me and the first-created being has existed since its apostasy from Me and will continue to exist as long as it still has its followers who once gave rise to its desire to rule. This following must first be redeemed before My adversary also returns to Me, thus he no longer faces Me as an enemy .... For if My adversary decided to return, the return of all spiritual substances would also be guaranteed, because then they would no longer be exposed to My adversary's influence in the stage of free will and the degree of maturity reached in the state of compulsion would also guarantee a further striving towards Me. However, only an act of free will can bring about the deification of beings .... deification presupposes a resistance which is overcome by free will .... And this resistance is offered to the greatest extent by My adversary, and he will continue to offer it to Me for endless times to come .... And as long as there will also be earthly creations, as long as one redemption epoch will replace the other, for his fall into the abyss was so endless that he will need eternal times in order to ascend together with his followers .... The work of creation, however, was an act of grace and mercy on the fallen spiritual being .... to which the first-fallen spirit could also have submitted itself if it had given up its will and likewise allowed itself to be pulled up by Me .... But I did not bind his will, for he was free and had emerged from Me in My image, and I allowed him this freedom, whereas the spiritual being which emerged from his will and My strength needed My help, because My adversary had already placed the will which had turned away from Me into this spiritual being, which therefore had to be bound until the being had reached a degree of maturity again that it could decide completely freely. For there was a difference between the first-created being and those which both of our wills of love let arise .... For this reason the act of return to Me is also different, and on My adversary's part the return will only take place when he, completely deprived of his strength and power, lies helpless and weak on the ground and then he will give up all resistance against Me in desire for My love, which he once rejected but which will flow towards him again to the same extent if he voluntarily surrenders to Me .... The act of redemption of the once fallen one takes place in an infinitely long time according to the law of eternal order, it will certainly be completed one day, for the deification of the created beings is and remains My aim which I pursue and also certainly achieve .... But eternities will still pass until the prodigal son returns home to his father's house, eternities will still pass before the battle between light and darkness rages, but the light will overcome the darkness and one day shine in fullest power ....

Amen

Adam .... Original spirit .... Lucifer's test .... Bursting the form ....

B.D. 5802 from November 9th 1953, taken from Book No. 63

Anyone who strives to arrive at the truth leaves all darkness behind him, he will have an explanation for everything, he will know the correlation between all things, he will recognise that his path leads upwards, that he has found the connection with God, that he cannot err anymore because God Himself conveys the truth to him. But striving for the truth means that it first has to be sincerely desired, and then the knowledge he receives .... be it from outside or from within in the form of thoughts .... has to be accepted with an open heart. For the heart will be willing to either accept or reject truth and error and thus influence the person accordingly.

Truth has to be aspired to in so far as that the human being's will has to be actively involved .... it cannot simply be given to a completely passive person who does not want it himself and who will not take the necessary steps in order to gain it. For then he will remain in spiritual darkness and not achieve progress. Truth, however, is the ascending path .... Truth is the spiritual knowledge conveyed to people by God Himself which tries to find a recipient in every human being, which can be acquired by every person's will since it can be imparted to people in many different ways .... but it always has to be desired first. But anyone who has gained the truth no longer lives in darkness, everything is crystal clear to him, he no longer doubts, for whatever is still unclear will be explained to him when he asks for it providing he turns to the source of truth .... providing he submits his doubts and questions to God Himself and then awaits God's answer through his heart .... The desire for truth, the mental contact with God and his inward listening also ensures him a clear and truthful answer. You humans should know that no unsolved questions need to exist for you providing you just want an explanation and present every question to the One Who is truth Himself and Who also wants to impart it to His children in order to enlighten them, in order to illuminate their path of ascent:

The body of the first-created human being was also an act of creation by My love. I then had to create an external shell for the fallen spirit once it had worked its way up from the abyss to a point where it was able to undertake its final test of will in complete freedom .... I had to create forms for all My once created original spirits whose previously dissolved substances had come together again after an infinitely long period of time and who, therefore, as self-aware beings once more, were waiting for permission to become active .... Creating the external form of such an original spirit was no different than the countless many works of creation which had previously arisen .... it was My externalised thought which, through My will, appeared before Me already completed. But giving life to this created form was only possible by permeating it with My strength of love ....

The originally created spirit, however, was My emanated strength of love .... Hence it only needed to take possession of the external form in order to turn it into a living being. The spirit was close to its perfection .... and yet far from it because it lacked final realisation .... because the sin with which it was burdened had completely deprived it of all knowledge and in this state it needed instruction and commandments .... thus it was to gradually mature into realisation by complying with these commandments .... A great spiritual battle had taken place earlier because a large number of fallen original spirits wanted to occupy My first created form .... For they knew that they could only gain access to Me again in the body of a human being, that they would only be able to gain unimaginable abundance of strength and light through a test of life in which they were to prove how they would utilise the strength at their disposal .... But I Myself chose which original spirit should take abode in the first human being .... For only I knew whose opposition to Me had weakened such that the final test of earthly life could be imposed on him; I knew whose will could have resisted My adversary's power. Therefore I chose an original spirit which had once taken a leading position during the spirits' apostasy .... which was indeed more heavily burdened by sin but which My love very much endeavoured to regain, for countless beings would likewise have followed it and the redemption would have progressed far more rapidly .... I have known, in fact, since eternity that this original spirit would fail .... Nevertheless, due to its changed will during the preliminary stages it was the strongest spirit, thus it was also entitled to be the first to receive the state of free will, and which therefore offered the best prospects of passing the test of will ....

The form of the first human being was .... before this original spirit occupied it, also visible to Lucifer, who certainly knew that this form was the gate from the kingdom of darkness, from his realm, into My kingdom, into the kingdom of light .... He also knew that .... if he didn't want to lose his followers .... he had to use every means to wrest the souls back from Me during the human being's approved probationary period, in order to turn the test to his advantage ....

My created form was still without life when Lucifer seized it in order to test it by animating it with his spirit .... yet his untamed spirit burst the form, and he was sure that every spirit banished into this form would burst it and that there would never be any danger of loss for him ....

I allowed this test to happen and then proved to him that his assumption was wrong .... For due to its long process of development the very spirit which was to embody itself in the human being no longer shared Lucifer's will, it willingly occupied the final external form, and since this original spirit was close to its original state it did not consider the external form a shackle to prevent the fall into sin .... For it was master over all of creation, it could rule like a lord over the earth which was at its disposal with every creation .... It had abundant might and strength .... only subordinate to My might, which only gave it an easy commandment, the obedience to which would have broken any constraint imposed on it ....

And when Lucifer realised this he thought about ways to stop the human being from obeying this commandment, and since he knew the first human being's body he tried to make him dislike it by portraying it as a shackle .... by making freedom from it dependent on transgressing this commandment .... and thus incited the original spirit to inwardly revolt against Me again for not having given it complete freedom .... It was a deliberate deception which the first human being could have resisted by merely adhering to My simple commandment .... if he had been satisfied with his possession of might and strength which made him truly happy until My adversary aroused an impure desire in him .... to be greater than the One, Who was a perceptible power above him .... of Whom he knew and Whose commandment he nevertheless disregarded ....

The first human being's fall into sin was therefore a repetition of the original spirit's first fall. It followed Lucifer and drew innumerable beings into the abyss with him .... just as all descendants of the first human being were afterwards also placed into the weak state of sinful people until Jesus Christ came to their rescue, until Jesus Christ acquired the strength of will on behalf of humanity through His crucifixion, until Jesus Christ opposed Lucifer's temptations with His strong will and defeated him ....

Nothing could have induced the first-created being, Lucifer, to cover the earthly progress as a human being as long as he still considered himself lord of the spiritual world which had deserted Me with him, for he himself did not take the course through matter, through creation, before the creation of the first human being .... As a spiritually tangible spirit he was volitionally still My strongest opponent, he deemed himself lord over the creation which sheltered the spiritual substance that belonged to him, although he himself had no influence over it. His inner resistance was still unbroken, and he would never ever have put up with any coercion, he would never voluntarily have entered a form created by My will .... because he hated all forms for the spiritual substances, all works of creation, and sought to destroy them .... However, his power over the works of creation had been taken away from him, but then he was granted influence over the soul when this was to make its free decision again for Me or for him .... He also knew that he was unable to destroy a form himself once it was inhabited by spiritual beings, and for this reason he inspected the first human being's form in advance, for his goal was to induce the original spirit which was to occupy it to destroy its own external form .... because he believed that he would thereby provide it with the freedom which I had taken away from the spirits due to the works of creation .... He wanted to stop Me from completing the plan of Salvation.

The opposition between Myself and him existed ever since his apostasy and will never be given up by him until he realises that he is completely powerless, and in profound weakness and humility appeals to Me to give him strength .... For this reason it would have been impossible to give him the first human body as an abode. For his will did not aim for ascent, whereas the past resistance to Me by the spiritual essence, having passed through creation in the state of compulsion, had already diminished and it was merely to prove just once more that it had abandoned its opposition to Me and My strength of love. And Lucifer knew how far this spiritual essence had already distanced itself from him, and he also knew that there now was a risk of losing it entirely. And since the original spirit embodied in the first human being had once been his staunch supporter he was particularly interested to bring it to fall .... But he also knew of its present desire to become free from every physical restraint ....

And then I placed a second being at this original spirit's side, which simultaneously was to support but also help him with the test of his will. Each one could have supported the other to arrive at the final objective; I did not place the responsibility on one shoulder alone .... I gave the commandment to both, and both were able to attain the goal together .... And this second being was used by Lucifer, who recognised its weak will and thereby hoped to achieve his objective .... The test of will had to be demanded from the first human couple, and in support of this test adverse forces also had to be active, for Lucifer fought for his living creations too, which he did not want to surrender even though they belonged to Me as well. His plan succeeded, nevertheless, it did not stop Me from giving countless beings time and again the opportunity to take on a new form in the human beings of this earth and thus to achieve an ever higher degree of maturity even if, due to the fall of the first human couple, the gate to the kingdom of light remained closed until the arrival of Jesus Christ ....

The first sin had delayed but not cancelled the spiritual beings' redemption, for what the first human being had failed to do was achieved by the human being Jesus .... He was stronger than My adversary for He availed Himself of My strength .... He was and stayed in contact with Me through love and voluntarily accomplished what the first human beings did not fulfil as a commandment .... He completely subordinated Himself to My will and proved His devotion to Me through His suffering and death on the cross .... He knew of the original sin and the first human beings' repeated guilt, and in order to cancel this guilt, in order to redeem humankind, He offered to bring Me a sacrifice, which was satisfactory to Me .... a sacrifice, which opened the gate to the spiritual kingdom again, the path to Me, and now enables all My living beings who acknowledge Him as Son of God and Redeemer of the world to become blissfully happy once more ....

Amen

Fall of the angels .... good friday message ....

B.D. 5361 from April 11th 1952, taken from Book No. 59

All of you who walk on earth have been seized by My love and opportunities have been created for you to be able to enter into the original relationship with Me again, you were granted a time for this transformation from a completely God-opposing relationship to reunion with Me .... All graces were made available to you to achieve this aim, and My never-ending love helps you where you are in danger of failing .... but there is one thing that even My greater than great love for you cannot do .... your will to change out of My power .... Your will is the factor which has to be reckoned with, which alone has to accomplish the change and can just as well fail. For your will is weakened by the one who is My adversary and who, having plunged you into the abyss through sin against Me, would also like to keep you in the abyss and therefore obstructs your path to Me in every way, who thus would also like to keep your will weak and thus incapable of accomplishing the change of being .... But the will is weak because the being, which is still under its control, is also devoid of all love and therefore cannot develop any strength, for love is strength in itself and would infallibly also give the will the necessary strengthening .... The entity which belongs to it is completely weakened in will and unable to redeem itself from its dominion over itself. And I brought help to this beingness ....

Can you humans now understand what moved Me to descend to earth and bring you salvation? I was the same in the beginning as the spiritual that was pushed into the abyss by Lucifer, I had emerged from God's love as an angelic spirit and recognized God as the epitome of all power and strength and glory from eternity .... As an adversary of Lucifer I stood by Him who had created us out of His power of love .... I too could not see God, but My love for Him was My bliss .... But I was also filled with love for the spiritual beings which had fallen away from God and let the plan mature in Me to participate in their redemption from the power of darkness, because I knew about Lucifer's power and his influence on the weak-willed spiritual beings. I wanted to help him in a way that alone could defeat the adversary .... I wanted to make use of God's strength in order to be able to take action against him and achieve the aim of wresting the beings from him and thus return them to God from Whom they had originated. I wanted to acquire the strength for this fallen one and turn it towards them so that they would become strong-willed and be able to free themselves from satan’s power. Weakness of will is a lack of strength of love, thus it is the result of an unloving attitude .... If I wanted to impart strong will to these beings I had to try to persuade them to love and first awaken their love again through My love .... I had to free them from his control by paying him the purchase price for the soul he held captive .... Although he himself never gives his consent, he never releases the soul, yet the soul now has the strength to liberate itself, which he cannot prevent it from doing if it makes use of My strength, which I willingly convey to it if it is willing to accept it, thus to make use of the blessings acquired on the cross. I paid this purchase price for all souls through My suffering and death on the cross .... Every soul can regain its freedom if only it turns to Me .... if it gives its will the right direction, if it acknowledges Me and My act of salvation and calls to Me for help .... In order to strengthen the will of these beings I died on the cross, I opposed satan’s power with an overwhelming love and defeated him, so that even the hardest fetter can burst who stands by My side ....

Two beings which emerged from the eternal strength of love wrestled against each other .... But I made use of this strength of love, I fought for God and with God, love completely filled Me and My earthly body thus became the bearer of the eternal deity, My soul of light joined It at the same time as the body, and the unification had now taken place which every individual being created by Him was also destined to enter from eternity in order to be able to work as perfected beings in light and strength and bliss.

The originally created spirit had fallen away from God, he received light and power in excess and misused them to work against God .... God's strength also flowed through him, but he used it in a negative sense and thereby distanced himself more and more from God .... But using the strength from God in His will also leads to complete fusion with Him, which I achieved as the man Jesus on earth through love .... Love is the strongest power and must also influence the will so that it turns towards God .... And I, as a human being, acquired this allocation of strength for people's will on this earth through My suffering and death on the cross, through unspeakable pain and immense agony, and everyone can make use of this strength who acknowledges Me and brings love to fruition within himself. Every person will want to escape from his previous master and will also be able to do so who calls upon Me as saviour and redeemer for help, for I will not let him fall into My adversary's hands, I will loosen his shackles and set him free .... But I can only do this as soon as the human being's will strives for redemption itself .... against his will I cannot release him .... But My love is infinite and will wrest every soul from the adversary, love will achieve that every being's will will once change and turn towards Me .... And this is why I died on the cross, so that the fallen being's weakened will will be strengthened, and thus I redeemed the world from satan’s bondage ....

Amen

Descent into hell .... Lucifer's opposition ....

B.D. 6531 from April 25th 1956, taken from Book No. 70

It is true that I descended into hell after My death on the cross and that I also brought redemption to those who had not yet entered the gate into eternal bliss, because this gate first had to be opened by My death on the cross .... Countless souls had awaited the hour of their salvation and I appeared to them as Jesus the human being, and I described to them My suffering and death because they, too, had to voluntarily acknowledge Me as Son of God and Saviour of the world. But I was also accepted by those who had lived a good life on earth; I was not rejected by everyone, nevertheless countless souls resisted Me and rejected the gift of grace, My Salvation .... My adversary's influence on these souls was so strong that they only saw Me as the human being who had revolted against earthly rulers and hence was sentenced to death .... The freedom of will had to be upheld for all these souls. Therefore I could not appear in power and glory .... I had to come amongst them just as I had walked amongst the people on earth .... as a human being Who only by means of the Word tried to convince them of His mission and the accomplished act of Salvation.

But My adversary did not want to let go of the souls, nevertheless for the first time he realised the consequence of My act of Salvation .... he could not hold on to the souls who acknowledged Me, who voluntarily wanted to follow Me through the gate which had been opened by Me for them .... They were released from his power, they broke the chains with the strength they received from Me, because I Myself had loosened them .... Hence My adversary raged even more amongst his followers, and now the battle of light against darkness (the battle of darkness against light) began in earnest and has never ceased, and thus rages on earth and in the spiritual kingdom .... I had descended into hell to bring salvation to all those whose earthly life had ended before I came to earth .... to all those who, in spite of a right way of life, were still subject to My adversary who even fought against Me Myself and against whom I fought on earth for every soul he was keeping in chains .... And he lost a large proportion of his followers ....

I had died for all those souls and everyone could have liberated themselves from him. But his fury was never-ending when he saw himself deprived of his followers .... when he had to realise that I had gained a victory, but which was entirely achieved by love. He, too, could have submitted himself to love, yet his power, his ownership, was still too large and he resisted the strength of My love, and hence it could not take effect on him either. But the moment had come when he had to realise that his power was defeated .... He had to accept that he had found his master in the human being Jesus, Whose love had achieved unification with Me .... And thus his hate grew ever stronger because the divine Saviour Jesus Christ had now become a serious opponent Who could take his followers away by virtue of His love. But My adversary still found a helpful solution in the fact that this depends on every being's free will and constantly tries to influence his victim's will, be it on earth or even in the spiritual kingdom. But I descended into hell after My death on the cross, and I continue to descend into hell to bring salvation to all those who want to liberate themselves from him, and he will not be able to stop Me, he will never be able to forcibly retain the souls who want to follow My call .... His power has been defeated by My death on the cross, but even this crucifixion could not break his resistance, his hatred and his will are unyielding, his actions are evil, and his essence is entirely without love ....

For this reason he lacks the strength to give life to the dead. His remaining strength will only ever be used for negative actions, and thus positive strength has to weaken his activity ever more .... love has to attract and draw to itself everything which is lifeless and then revive it again .... With My descent into hell the return of the once fallen beings to Me had started, the awakening of the dead into life had commenced, for love has proven that it is stronger than hate, love has made

Amends on the cross for the guilt which had resulted in the death of the beings. And thus life has been bought for them, he who had put the beings into the state of death had been defeated ....

Amen

Satan's power ....

B.D. 5136 from May 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

The one who wants to ruin you only has great power if you grant him this power yourselves, for if you resist him and turn to Me, you will receive the flow of My light of love which will completely disable him. For he is unable to endure love. And one day, when his time has come, love will conquer him too. Satan truly constantly endeavours to captivate, to eternally dominate, everything that had emerged through his will but nevertheless with My strength. And therefore he will put extreme pressure on those he fears to lose, who get away from him of their own free will, who strive towards Me in order to be forever united with Me. He will spare no means to influence these souls, he will cause confusion wherever possible. He will always be present where My Own congregate, he will try to enter their thoughts in order to transfer his will onto them, even though he realises that he has lost control over these souls.

Nevertheless, he opposes Me as an enemy, for his immense ambition deludes him into believing that his power cannot be broken. He indeed recognises love as the weapon that will injure him and therefore he takes flight where it confronts him and stirs up unkindness at the first opportunity. He feels his power waning and yet will not let himself be conquered. For this reason his activity is usually instantly recognisable, because his method is always such that it will cause enmity between people who like each other, so that confusion arises where clarity used to be; and the fault is always due to people themselves that their minor unkindness lends Satan a finger and he tries to take the whole hand, that is, he spurs people into ever greater heartlessness. He has great power but only where it is granted to him .... because you humans do not use the weapon against him which will render him powerless .... because you do not practice love sufficiently .... because your selfish love is still predominant, which offers him a welcome opportunity. You do not recognise him when he crosses you path, you are short-sighted and you consider him your friend and trust him. He is not your friend as long as he is still My adversary .... and he remains My adversary as long as he is without love. He has to be feared as long as you are without love yourselves, for in that case you belong to him and are still very distant from Me. But if your spark of love has been kindled in you then you will loosen the bond yourselves, then you will change your Lord, you will unite with Me and then he will have lost all power over you.

Therefore you, who became My Own due to your will which strives towards Me and rejects him, need not fear him. Then he cannot harm you anymore, yet you can still help him by gathering glowing embers onto his head, by extending your love even to those who are hostile to you, by responding to evil with love, because then he will have to recognise that you have deified yourselves, that you stand above him in brightest light and immeasurable strength. For when a being surpasses him he will feel its power and he will also set it mentally free, i.e. it will no longer be pressurised by him, because in unity with Me it is unattainable for him. All people are able to travel the path to the Father's heart, and the restraints which keep them bound can be loosened by all people with love, which is the means of release and unification at the same time, which turns you into My children, who will eternally experience the Father's reciprocated love and therefore be eternally happy ....

Amen

Work of satan II.

B.D. 6335 from August 18th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

Whatever is harmful to your soul I will keep away from you if your will is good and turned towards Me .... If a father knows his child is in danger, then he will help him to avoid this danger or carefully guide him through it .... For the father loves his child .... And if you humans are threatened by danger for your soul, then your father in heaven will certainly be the first to protect you because it is within His power and because He loves you. And thus you can be unconcerned as long as you feel like My children, as long as you see your father in Me .... But your soul will suffer harm if it is touched by My adversary, for his grip is hard and ruthless and he breaks what falls into his hands .... I pass a damning judgment on him but only to warn you because otherwise you would venture too carelessly into his vicinity and then hardly be able to rise if you don't call upon Me for help. You should be vigilant, for 'satan walks around like a roaring lion' and seeks to devour you .... do not make a friendly image of him, for then your caution will be lessened, and then everything is possible .... also that he takes possession of you. However, angels are standing around you ready to protect you if your whole will is meant for Me, if love for Me fills your whole heart .... and these will erect a barrier which My adversary cannot surmount, for it consists of beings of light which, through their light alone, already push away the adversary who flees the light .... For these are My children who, like you, were once exposed to his influence and know his working and who help you to find the father, who can therefore also protect you because they know about his cunning and place themselves between you and him. You only have to do one thing yourselves: detest him because he is only hatred and sin .... He has completely severed the spiritual bond with Me from his side .... thus he must have become My antithesis, for he has perverted everything in himself that came forth from Me in light and strength, he is so abysmally distant from Me that he has fashioned himself into a monster which, full of defiance and evil thoughts, is capable of doing anything to you that prevents you from becoming blessed .... For he wants your ruin, he not only wants to possess you but to destroy you, for he has been evil since his apostasy from Me .... He is My antithesis and therefore cannot have anything good about him, otherwise I would have bad about Me to the same extent .... But just as I am the most perfect being, he is imperfection itself, and this also means that he will think and act badly as long as he still works and can work, as long as he still possesses attachment .... Precisely because he still believes himself to be powerful through his appendage, that is why he does not change his thinking and his will. And I know the danger you are in if you only allow him the slightest approach to you by showing him pity. He does not return this pity with love, neither does he feel pity for your soul which he wants to ruin. You don't know his hatred and malice which you yourselves are full of love. But I know the danger and protect you, for My love is for you whom he has dragged down into the abyss with him .... My love is also for him when he will have found his way back and surrendered .... But until then he is My adversary against whom I warn you, for his will is evil and he only seeks your destruction .... Therefore don't let yourselves be deceived, be vigilant so that you will also recognize him under the disguise ....

Amen

The opponent’s intentions to portray everything of a mystical nature as error ....

B.D. 1815 from February 16th 1941, taken from Book No. 27

There are things which the human being is unable to explain to himself and which he therefore rejects as an unsolvable problem. He is not inquisitive and thus does not ponder them either, and since his will does not aspire to solve such things they will also remain inexplicable to him. However, what appears to be unexplainable cannot just be dismissed as ‘non-existent’ or be thrown into the field of fraud or sorcery due to lack of evidence. This particularly applies to all mystical phenomena which cannot be solved by human intellect alone and which are therefore unhesitatingly dismissed as a deliberate attempt of deception or a person’s morbid plan. Mystic phenomena can only be explained by mystics, i.e. only the spiritually aspiring human being can penetrate spiritual spheres. People’s mere intellectual ability will never be able to lift the veil, and therefore they will also try to destroy other people’s belief in spiritual matters, in spiritual activity. And this is what they will then call enlightenment and will thus be concealing what the human being should recognise as most important .... the working of the spiritual beings in the beyond who want to provide people with the evidence that life after death on earth is not over ....

O world of unbelievers and scorners .... Where a visible sign is offered to you, you try to refute it, and you are thereby refusing the spiritual beings’ access to you. With your wisdom and actions you intend to destroy the activity of these beings. It is more pleasing to you to ridicule the spiritual aspirations of profoundly thinking people in the eyes of the world, and are effectively locking your own entrance to the kingdom which is sending signs to people in order to make their recognition easier. And the working of negative forces can be clearly seen in people who, with absolute conviction, deny everything of a spiritual or supernatural nature. They speak on behalf of the opponent because he wants to destroy people’s belief in the continuation of life after death, in eternal life and the hour of accountability. And people support his will instantly and do not shy away from surrendering their faith, thus merely affirming what they can touch or feel but denying everything that appears to be supernatural. How highly the human being values his intellect .... and how little he will achieve with it if God Himself does not stand by him and guide him into enlightenment. Yet on the other hand, human intellect is decisive for humanity .... It unconditionally accepts what it is intellectually presented with. It frequently and without hesitation surrenders its acquired spiritual truths, because God’s adversary knows how to show his superiority by using convincing words. Hence he will find willing listeners everywhere, because the world prefers to hear that life after bodily death has come to an end. And it will therefore readily agree when expressions from the spiritual world are described as imagination, fraud or error and are therefore completely dismissed ....

Working of the adversary: defence against God's word ....

B.D. 6182 from February 2nd 1955, taken from Book No. 66

The fact that people reject God's word is understandable because God's adversary can influence them as long as they strive for his kingdom, thus, through their desire for earthly goods, he grants them the power over themselves which he uses to good effect by influencing them against everything that is true, full of light, good .... so that they also oppose the word of God, which, however, is the most valuable thing on earth they should strive for .... The earthly world is still the adversary's sphere of power from God, for it consists of that which has fallen away from God, of that which is bound in the earthly creations, in matter, which is still willingly turned towards God's adversary but cannot be forced by him to fulfil the adversary's will. But the human being in the state of free will is a suitable object for him, which he now tries to make submissive to his will. For he wants the latter to turn fully and completely towards him again, to express his opposition to God anew .... And since the human being is still weak-willed, since he has not yet firmly decided in favour of God Whose kingdom he does not see, he entices him with his kingdom, which is far more attractive to people because everything is placed before their eyes .... But through God's word they are made aware of the transience of earthly things .... through God's word they are reminded of the effects a way of life can have if it is used rightly or wrongly .... through God's word the human being is warned and admonished .... And he can easily reach his aim if he makes the word of God the guideline for his thoughts and actions .... But the adversary of God tries to prevent this in order not to lose what is his .... He knows that God's word, as the eternal truth, also has the power to influence people correctly and that they will then finally be lost to him. For this reason all his efforts are only ever aimed at preventing people from receiving the divine word, and therefore he instils a feeling of repulsion in them and they listen to him because at the same time the world lures them with its goods .... Anyone who has already detached himself more from matter is more likely to turn his attention to the spiritual kingdom, and he is also more likely to let himself be captivated by the word of God .... even if he does not consciously desire the kingdom of God at first .... but he accepts without resistance, and then it will not fail to make an impression on him either, because the word of God contains the strength within itself as soon as resistance is abandoned. In the last days every single soul will be fought over and God's adversary will have the upper hand because people will grant him this themselves, because they are materialistic to such an extent that everything spiritual will fade away for them, that they will not examine it first but already want to know nothing about divine-spiritual matters because then they would have to put the world aside .... which, however, is infinitely more important to them .... And yet the word of God is the only salvation for people because it enlightens them and at the same time gives them light and strength .... yet the freedom of their will is not touched, and therefore the human being himself decides to whom he turns .... And thus he also creates his own lot in eternity ....

Amen

Hoarding the matter .... stimulating the opponent ....

B.D. 6447 from January 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

What My spirit imparts to people is to be regarded as truth alone .... And therefore all spiritual knowledge conveyed to you must correspond to this sole truth from Me, otherwise it originated from another whose endeavour is and will always remain to fight the truth and who also uses such means for this purpose which are intended to feign Me Myself as the source .... Whatever I give to people will only ever serve to attain maturity of soul, which was set as people's actual earthly aim .... because My love wants to help them become free from every material bondage in order to be able to enter the spiritual kingdom after death carefree. And every word which is conveyed to earth by Me Myself only ever has this one purpose, to instil maturity of soul into you. I will only ever admonish people to liberate themselves, and I will also give you the comprehensible reason for it, I will enlighten you as to what all matter actually is in essence and in what way the spiritualization of those takes place in an infinitely long time .... My concern will only ever be for your soul, the spiritual in material form .... The detachment from matter is such a significant act, it is an act of utmost importance, that never again will My word contain a suggestion to hoard matter .... to increase it and to enjoy its possession .... But all this stimulates My adversary .... and you may believe these words of Mine that My adversary has gained influence wherever these phenomena can be followed, that riches accumulate, that these riches are used to feast people's eyes, that these riches do not serve the purpose which alone is to be spoken of as a blessing of wealth: to relieve poor and needy people of their state of misery .... My adversary will always know how to prevent this, and by this you humans will also be able to recognize where My adversary rules, and you will also be able to be certain that no truth can be found there either, because My adversary will always fight against the truth, but especially in his territory, because he will also find his loyal followers there who are submissive to him. My word from above provides information about My adversary's activities in the last days before the end .... And he who belongs to My own also sees the signs of the end and only cares for his soul .... My adversary, however, does not want to accept this end and neither do all those like him .... And these are driven by him to make provisions for a time which will no longer be .... And people willingly follow his suggestions; they do not think about the near end but create and work and plan and build for times to come and thereby prove their walk in darkness and their lord to whom they have submitted themselves .... My word alone is truth, and this word announces to you that you humans are all facing the end .... If you believed these words of Mine you would not succumb to greed for material goods, you would only ever try to make the last days bearable for each other, you would be more mindful of people living in greatest need whom you could help .... And you would turn to the pure word of God and clearly recognize where My adversary is at work, then you would also no longer allow yourselves to be deceived by deceptive work, by webs of lies, you would obviously recognize the father of lies who wants to alienate you from the truth .... For you would also recognize how different the spiritual knowledge is which was offered to you from that which I Myself guide to earth. Yet as long as you yourselves are willing to be ever more firmly chained to matter you will also be blind in spirit, and so long will you also remain in its power .... You are facing the end and all your striving is in vain .... Therefore detach yourselves from matter before it is too late, lest it become your grave ....

Amen

Target of the opponent: destruction ....

B.D. 6971 from November 18th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

Countless worlds have already come into being through My will, and countless worlds will still arise .... For the work of the spiritual's return requires them, because all once-fallen spiritual has to be integrated into the process of activity again if it wants to come close to Me again. And every single world gives this spiritual substance the opportunity to become active, even if My will is decisive for the time being and assigns it the activity which slowly helps the fallen spirits to ascend again. All worlds only serve the one purpose of returning the once fallen spiritual substance, and all worlds are therefore governed by My will, they are subject to My law of order, they testify to My love, My wisdom and My might. Nevertheless, their original substance is spiritual substance which has fallen away from Me, thus it still belongs to My adversary, but at the moment of the creation of these worlds I withdrew the power over this spiritual substance, otherwise it would forever no longer be able to ascend from the abyss to the height .... My adversary, however, knows about the endless number of those who followed him into the abyss, and this knowledge strengthens his adversarial attitude towards Me, it strengthens his belief that he will one day be able to dethrone Me, and it strengthens his hatred because I have wrested a large part of his following from him which, bound in the works of creation, has taken the path of return. And therefore he does not cease to exert his destructive influence, that is, to work towards destroying as many works of creation as possible in the belief that he can then release the bound from them and take possession of them again himself .... It is not possible for him to destroy those works of creation because he has no power over them. But he exerts his destructive influence at the time when that spiritual substance has reached the final stage where it is in possession of free will again, which My adversary has the right to influence, because the once fallen spiritual substance shall now freely decide for Me or for My adversary. And at this time he not only seeks to regain the human being himself but through him he also seeks to seize the still bound spiritual by trying to determine him to destroy creations which My love let arise in order to help the spiritual to return to Me. The adversary's domain is the earth inhabited by people, and in this domain he works in a truly satanic way. People are the target of his activity, for he can only exert his influence on them, for he has no access to the other works of creation, to the countless worlds in the universe. But he believes that he can still find access to those worlds, but he will never succeed. But he also transfers his confused thinking to people .... He also tries to persuade them that they can take possession of other worlds, and he also finds servants in bondage to him who adopt these thoughts and strive for the same as he. He also confuses their thinking and lets them make the most unbelievable attempts to break through previous barriers in order to explore worlds which are inaccessible to them. The adversary makes them believe that he can break down these barriers, and he is also listened to when he drives people into completely pointless research. For all such research is not aimed at spiritual development and can therefore never correspond to My will. And they will have an even less destructive effect on works of creation which I let arise outside of earth .... precisely because neither My adversary nor the human being possess the right of rulership over those creations, because My will also guarantees the existence of every work of creation until I Myself deem the time to have come when its purpose is fulfilled and it can be dissolved again into pure spiritual substance .... (18.11.1957) However, the adversary's efforts will take on an increasingly more threatening form the closer the end is. He drives people to attempts which even accelerate an end of this earth .... These experiments take place on earth and have an effect on earth itself. Although people's aim is the spheres outside of this earth, what they will achieve is obvious evidence of satanic influence, for the living conditions on earth will change, harmful air changes will be created for people and animals against their will; and the earth itself will become a source of fire which will one day also claim its victims .... For the destruction of this earth is My adversary's main aim .... And since people are already strongly addicted to him he will also succeed, yet without bringing him the slightest advantage. For he does not win back his followers but loses them all the more surely .... His aim is the destruction of the creations I let come into being for the purpose of returning the spiritual. And he will achieve much through people on this earth but he will never be able to destroy the other worlds created by Me because he lacks the power to do so himself and is only allowed to influence the spirits if they live on earth as human beings. And thus you can gather from this that the adversary will not be able to take possession of the universe either .... and thus neither will the people who devise such plans and believe they can control areas in space by virtue of their intelligence .... They can certainly make attempts and keep expanding their attempts but they will inevitably come to death when they step out of the realm of this earth. Yet this is also My adversary's purpose, that no creative authority will be recognized anymore, that people will deem themselves capable of investigating every law of nature and that the distance between people and Me will constantly increase .... He will achieve much but he will not be able to intervene in My plan of creation and salvation. He will only cause hopeless confusion in the thinking of all those who are already in his power and blindly follow his instructions .... until finally his activity takes on such forms that people themselves put the globe in danger, that they experiment without a second thought and .... since I am completely eliminated from their thoughts .... trigger an all-destroying catastrophe which means the end of this earth and every living creature on it. Before that I will give people a serious warning which alone could make them realize the absurdity of their plan: I will send them a warning from outer space, I will bring the earth into a danger which will be triggered without human influence .... I will let a celestial body step out of its orbit which you humans will not be able to resist, which you are powerlessly at its mercy .... in order to show you that it is I alone Who rules the world and all creations moving within it. And thereby you could still come to an understanding and give up your plan. But you are already too much a slave to My adversary, and thus the end will come as it is proclaimed .... The earth will ignite and people themselves will be the cause of it because they follow the one who wants to destroy and ruin everything ....

Amen

The adversary's temptations by means of worldly enticements ....

B.D. 7315 from March 24th 1959, taken from Book No. 77

If you are craving the world and its pleasures then you will know that you are approached by the tempter who wants to win you over again for the world which you endeavour to escape from. The realm of earthly joy and pleasure is his domain and he truly governs it in a way that many people fall prey to it, for they all crave earthly and physical joys and pleasures and they will all get what they want if they pay homage to the world and accept all enticements he presents before their eyes. He cannot beguile people by any other means than through the world, for once they have chosen the spiritual kingdom they will truly not comply with his will and turn their thoughts towards him .... In that case, however, he will come to meet them through the world and its attractions and a person must be very strong-willed indeed in order to resist the temptations .... Therefore, take note that when you seek to gain worldly pleasures you are at risk of succumbing to his artful temptations and forearm yourselves to resist him. Turn your attention towards the spiritual world again with increased vigour; hold yourselves to account as to what extent you bear up against such temptations, which you can be certain to be the adversary's work who wants to turn you against God and His kingdom and therefore will not shy away from using any means to achieve this goal. Admittedly, he will not be able to achieve much with a serious aspirant apart from the fact that the human being fulfils the requirements of life he has to fulfil, since he lives in the midst of the world and should prove himself in it. Nevertheless, the decisive factor remains the feeling of the heart, for it shall not allow itself to be captivated by desiring earthly joys and pleasures, since it depends on the heart's desire as to how far the human being will distance himself from the spiritual kingdom and return to the earthly world again. The temptations by God's adversary will not stop, he will also fight for the souls he is in danger of losing until the end, he will not let up until the end from pushing the spiritual kingdom aside in favour of the material world, and thus the soul must remain determined and resist. And the more progress it has made in its striving, the easier it can defend itself and the lesser will be the risk of complying with his will again, for the spiritual kingdom will also captivate the soul and not let go of it again, if its will is inclined towards God and thus no longer belongs to the adversary but releases itself increasingly more from him .... Then the human being will no longer be affected by temptations, the world will have lost its attraction and only the spiritual kingdom will be desirable for him, the unity with God will be the soul's only and highest goal and it will certainly attain this goal ....

Amen

Work of dark forces ....

B.D. 6443 from January 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

It is a frightening work of the evil forces in the last time before the end. The prince of darkness constantly urges them on to cause confusion, and given the darkness of spirit in which people live at this time they also succeed all too well, for they are heard and people believe, and whether it is the thickest errors and lies which are presented to them .... they accept it as truth and become ever darker in their spirit. Yet every person could most lightfully recognize it for what it is if only he would approach Me Myself for enlightenment if something appears doubtful to him .... But people's spiritual arrogance is already so great that they don't consider it necessary to ask this question .... but are convinced of the sincerity of those who administer the deepest error to them. People's lack of knowledge is increasing more and more instead of being remedied .... but I have foretold you that many false prophets and false Christs will rise from the dead, that they will perform miracles for you which My adversary performs .... I have admonished you not to believe them .... However, you humans must not reject everyone as a false prophet but you must seriously examine them as to their authenticity, you must believe that true prophets will also arise who want to help you achieve your salvation .... You must not accept everyone but also not reject everyone who presents himself to you as a prophet, as being in My service, in the last time before the end .... But you have certain characteristics of a genuine prophet, that he walks along inconspicuously and proclaims My word to you, that he points you to the end, that he gives to you in complete unselfishness what he receives from Me directly .... as I Myself did when I lived on earth. My emissaries will not appear in dazzle and splendour, My emissaries will not walk amongst you humans differently as I Myself did, and never ever will I hide behind high and highest ranks, never ever will I reveal Myself through such people who stand at the highest pinnacle of worldly organizations, for these are not the right successors of Me, Who Myself, completely destitute and simple, felt drawn towards those who were poor and weak and in need .... I would certainly also be able to appear there if the 'true succession' of those would be proven to Me by the fact that they themselves rejected all external ostentation .... if their work would proceed in silence and a clear distance from traditional customs would be recognizable .... if they listened to the voice of their spirit and allowed themselves to be guided .... to be a loving father to the poor and weak, to the needy, to alleviate hardship and to truly walk the path of discipleship by standing up for the pure truth, which a spirit-filled person now also clearly recognizes in himself .... But My adversary prevents this and therefore deceives them, which causes them to sink even deeper into spiritual darkness .... My adversary has great power before the end but he would not be able to use it where he finds resistance: the closest bond with Me through unselfish activity of love. Yet such would express itself differently, for it does not show itself outwardly, it does not emerge, it does not support a power which is about to collapse, for a spirit enlightened by love also clearly recognizes people's spiritual low and its cause .... And a person whose spirit is enlightened cannot profess untruth but campaigns against it .... Don't let yourselves be beguiled and ask Me for clarification if you doubt, but don't thoughtlessly accept what My adversary presents to you in order to darken your spirit even more. Where bright light shines there is truth, there I reveal Myself and there My prophets will arise who warn and admonish you and who again and again denounce My adversary's activities .... But the truth, the light, is not to be found in the gears of the world .... and worldly is everything that sends out its dazzling light, which has no luminosity .... But where light shines, there I Myself appear, there is truth, there is My spirit, and this also brightly illuminates the doings of satan ....

Amen

Apparitions of Mary .... Signs and miracles .... Satan's activity ....

B.D. 6478 from February 17th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

The human being only pays attention to signs and miracles. He wants to gain an insight into what is concealed from him, he first wants to experience unexplainable phenomena, and these seem more credible to him than the pure Word of God, but in reality they merely intensify the darkness and erroneous belief, for they should only be regarded as fabrications of the one who wants to cause confusion and who is particularly active when the pure truth threatens to establish itself. He wants to obscure every flashing light with profound darkness. Only rarely will people promote the distribution of truth, whereas lies and errors spread like wildfire and people don't shy away from serving their fellow human beings with nourishment that has no nutritional value whatsoever, instead it has a poisonous effect.

During the last days before the end Satan's activity will become obvious by especially availing himself of means which aim to feign divine activity. God has promised people His spirit, and he has associated this working of the spirit with remarkable gifts of grace. God's strength expresses itself through people who proclaim His Word, who are His true servants on earth and who therefore will also accomplish what Jesus accomplished on earth .... who will heal the sick and take away people's every affliction, who are profoundly knowledgeable, full of strength and able to see what God will send upon humanity .... who will perform miracles like He did, because God Himself can work in them through His spirit in order to motivate people to believe and turn back before it is too late .... But these occurrences receive little attention from people because, deemed to be implausible, they are not made publicly known .... and because nothing divinely-spiritual will ever make itself the centre of attraction against people's will.

God's adversary, however, will work by the same token before the end by using his strength for deceitful activities, for all kinds of works of deception. And this activity of his will receive attention. He will manifest himself and always appear as an angel of light, he will influence the masses, he will make them believe what they want to see, for this desire will provide him with the foundation for fictitious miracles, for all kinds of errors .... People who create idols for themselves to some extent furnish Satan with the means by which he will then be able to take effect. And it is far more difficult to convince people that they have fallen prey to the opponent than to make these apparitions credible to them .... For Satan also ensures that the broad mass of the population takes notice of it and delights increasingly more in the miracles of false Christs and false prophets .... in apparitions which partially are untrue, but partially emerge through people's will itself, because such evil activity is encouraged by people's will and erroneous belief .... for then it no longer requires a great deal of strength from his side in order to materialise such false miracles.

God does not influence people in this way, and God makes no use of those whose thoughts are so misguided that they are unable to distinguish between right and wrong .... He works in silence, He pours out His spirit upon all flesh, and servants and handmaidens will prophesy on His instructions and spread the pure truth from God, but He will never promote existing error nor encourage it in people even more, and no exalted and supreme beings of light will ever express themselves by trying to glorify their own name .... Satan, however, can establish himself in works which were put together by human hands with a completely wrong attitude towards God .... works which intended to reinforce an already existing error and which therefore are indeed the right kind of abode for the one who is and will remain the father of lies and errors as long as he can exert his influence .... And people are spiritually blind and don't recognise his accursed activity .... but they increasingly turn a deaf ear to the truth, and therefore the adversary will be very successful, for it is the time of the end ....

Amen

The adversary’s works of deception .... Apparitions ....

B.D. 7045b from February 20th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

A very special trick by My adversary is to entice people to displace Me from their thoughts such that he presents them with ‘other gods’, that he awakens the idea in them that these ‘gods’ should serve people as a bridge to Me .... that they thus owe it to the favour of these gods if I graciously draw close to them, and that people then would have to do everything to ensure the favour of these gods first. Because all those you place next to Me, whom you ask for ‘intercession’ with Me, are ‘idols’.

You should take the direct path to Me, for that is the purpose and goal of your life .... When you know what your past sin was you will also know that this sin can only be put right by the opposite .... Your past sin was your conscious separation from Me, thus you have to establish the conscious relationship with Me and thereby recognise your past sin and also acknowledge it to Me. No other beings .... no matter how enlightened they are, can take this past sin away from you, and I can never accept their appeal on your behalf, because the change of will has to be your very own effort, and you have to approach Me Myself voluntarily, since only then can your voluntarily destroyed bond be re-established. Hence My adversary uses a cunning weapon to prevent this return to Me .... the conscious relationship with Me .... for as long as possible or to prevent it completely by making you believe that you can reach your goal in a round-about way. He uses this weapon on those who still have enough good will not to reject every religious doctrine .... and who can easily be deceived. For he wants to mislead people’s thoughts, he wants to gain time, he wants to obstruct the path to Me. And for this reason he invented the misguided teaching about ‘intercession from beyond’ and found untold followers.

People can certainly help poor souls in the beyond through intercession, because such intercession is evidence of love for those souls, which is already sufficient for Me to give strength to these souls, since I value the love of a person very highly. However, ‘intercession’ by the beings of light is an entirely different matter .... All these beings love abundantly, and they truly also have the power to help all people .... But due to their abundance of love they also have abundant wisdom .... They all know of the original sin, they know of My plan of Salvation since eternity, they know the purpose and goal of earthly life .... They know by what means the fallen being will be able to return to Me, by what means it can regain its original state .... And this knowledge will never ever persuade them to liberate people from their sinful state without authority. On the other hand, their love for all unredeemed spirits is too great to deny help to a being. But their love for Me is far greater .... And therefore they would never take precedence in people’s thoughts, they will only aim to direct their thoughts to Me in the knowledge that the person has to establish the bond with Me first if he is to be helped to achieve beatitude. Thus it will never be the light beings’ will that you should take the path to them and waste precious time, which is intended for your return to Me .... And these beings of light will even less support misguided teachings by appearing to people themselves. But this deception is used by My adversary, and in order to increase the darkness he flashes deceptive lights .... He counts on the darkened spiritual state of people who do not remember My Words ‘You shall have no other gods before Me .... you shall not make for yourself a graven image to pray to ....’

The purest and most hallowed being, who was the childbearer of My earthly body, will never encourage people to petition her, because her love for Me is infinite, and she seeks to direct all once apostatised beings back to Me, because she, too, loves these beings and would like to support their return to Me. And especially this supremely holy being has in Lucifer the harshest adversary, who does not shy away from using her image for his plans .... who will always let this image emerge as a satanic work of deception when there is a risk that his gamble might be recognised .... when misguided teachings are doubted and a small light wants to break through. Then My adversary steps into action again and uses means which instantly strengthen his power once more, because deepest darkness will be spread across those humans who become entrapped due to the fact that they exercise too little love in order to kindle a light in themselves, which would truly bring enlightenment and let them find the right path .... the direct path to Me ....

(20.02.1958) If only people lived more within love, such spiritual confusion and mistakes could not arise because they would be recognised as such .... But especially people who allow themselves to be impressed by external occurrences are the least inwardly active. Their soul’s life is more or less determined by worldly events even if they wear the cloak of religious activities .... people’s senses are occupied and the soul will be dulled. And therefore My adversary has an easy game, people are taken in by his activity and yet they could see through him and notice it if their hearts were filled by love, because love is light too and illuminates the human being’s spirit. This is the reason why the masses support My adversary’s deception and present it as truth which ‘originated’ from Me. Just a small amount of knowledge would make people realise the futility of apparitions which can never be compatible with My divine plan of love and Salvation. My earthly mother will never want to be the centre of events which stop the masses from taking the direct path to Me .... she will never try to draw people’s attention and thoughts to herself .... because it would be the same as slighting Me, to Whom she gives all her love and devotion.

As a result of My adversary’s influence people have adopted a completely wrong attitude .... They themselves created gods next to Me, and they dance around these gods but do not remember the one God, from Whom they once apostatised and to Whom they have to return of their own free will. They direct their will wrongly because My adversary knows how to place deceptive lights before their eyes, because he himself hides behind the disguise and thus demands divine admiration of people .... He puts these apparitions into motion, he also tries to take advantage of genuine visions by truly devout people for his purposes by inciting the masses to believe that an exceedingly sacred and pure being had revealed itself, although it would never manifest itself in this manner .... But people want to believe it and cannot be prevented to do so. But a light shall also always be given to you who desire the pure truth. You should not let it baffle you because My adversary will yet cause other things to happen, and he will always aim to get the masses on his side. This should already be an indication to you who hides behind unusual activities and appearances, for I will always work away from the public eye, and even My messengers of light will never make themselves the centre of attraction. Yet only little attention is given to My activity, My adversary’s activity, however, will always move the whole world, which already gives evidence of him and thereby he can also be recognised ....

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Satan knows he doesn't have long time .... devil in the end time ....

B.D. 3603 from November 15th 1945, taken from Book No. 46

The gates of hell open wider as the end draws nearer .... All the forces of darkness unfold and assail people, and the prince of the underworld has great power. He sees himself at the end of his time and still seeks to exploit it in every way. And people in their weakness of will do not stop him, but they are willing servants whom he determines to act contrary to God in order to separate them from God forever. The prince of the underworld knows that he does not have much time left .... His power will be irrevocably broken when the end of this earth has come .... And by the raging of satan it can be seen that the end is no longer far away. The most cruel events are becoming more frequent, deeds are being carried out which no-one previously thought possible, people will shy away from nothing and they themselves no longer recognize the depths they are in, the depths they have been drawn into by a power which is outside of all divine order, which is completely devoid of love and which also stifles every spark of love in people's hearts, which spills every little flame which still glows in secret. It is a time of boundless hatred and the most blatant lack of love, people no longer live like brothers amongst each other but they are hostile to each other in every way, and only a few stick together and do not allow themselves to be spiritually raped, i.e. they defend themselves against satan’s assaults and take refuge in God, asking Him for help against the enemy of their souls. And love is not yet suffocated in them, and their actions correspond to God's commandments, and therefore they will be particularly harassed by the enemy of their souls in the last days, namely by their fellow human beings who carry out the will of the one who wants to corrupt them .... Hell has opened its gates .... Countless devils pass through and come close to earth, spreading their poisonous breath on it and using it according to their lord's will. And they are willingly accepted, people themselves give them room to manoeuvre, they not only tolerate them in their vicinity but they voluntarily tread off the ground for them in which they can spread evil seed and completely poison it .... they open their hearts and do not resist those who seek to corrupt them. And if a servant of the lord comes to warn people against those forces of the underworld, to admonish them to close the doors and only allow the God of love to enter, they will be turned away from the door unheeded, their words will be disregarded and the prince of the underworld will be victorious. And this alone through the will of the people, who are free and can determine over themselves .... And the end draws ever nearer. God's language will still be heard urgently before but will also only receive little attention because people are already too much under the spell of him who seeks to draw them down into the kingdom of darkness. And the light which at the same time shines brightly from above down to earth will not be heeded .... And therefore there is no longer any stopping, the redemption period will come to an end in order to be replaced by a new era; satan will be bound and deprived of all strength and with him all spiritual beings which are in bondage to him, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ....

Abolishing the laws of nature .... satan’s power at the end ....

B.D. 4472 from October 29th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You must let yourselves be taught by Me if you want to stand in truth, and thus you must also listen to Me if I want to speak to you. I always want to speak to you in order to enlighten you, because you are all still very much in error and need much clarification: The lawgiver of eternity is truly at liberty to also overturn the laws if it favours His eternal plan of salvation, so that souls could thereby be won for eternity. Yet I only rarely make use of this right because My wisdom of eternity recognized how extremely favourable My laws are for the winning of souls for My kingdom and therefore I have no reason to repeal them. Yet in the last days before the end I will repeal many a law .... as I have announced through seers and prophets that the powers of heaven will move so that people will recognize the time of the end by the signs .... At this time you will experience things which are impossible by nature and which also give the researchers and scholars proof that I direct nature and can also let events occur which are contrary to nature at My discretion. And My adversary also takes advantage of this time by likewise divesting himself of his strength and also performing miracles, yet of a completely different kind, because he aims to cause people's apostasy from Me and therefore wants to present himself to people as equally strong and powerful .... And you humans are now at the mercy of this as long as you don't have knowledge of Me and My eternal plan of salvation yourselves.

(30.10.1948) Satan will always try to influence your thoughts in such a way that you turn away from Me. He wants to deprive you of all knowledge of Me, he wants to rule over you alone, yet not for your blessing but for your ruin. And if I allowed this you would all be lost. But I do not limit his power at all but leave it up to you humans yourselves whether you want to give it to him or whether you refuse him and join Me. Thus I also fight for you, and I do so with truth, I bring you light and then let you choose the path yourselves which you want to take, yet I enlighten this path for you, I don't want you to walk in darkness and be unable to find the right path. Yet My adversary also lets light flash, but they are only deceptive lights which blind you and place you in even greater darkness, so that you run the great risk of missing the right path and falling into the abyss. But the truth shines brightly and clearly, and I bring it to you and therefore want to speak to you, and you shall listen to Me. If you are informed of the truth you will never ever grant My adversary the right over you, for then you will see through him and know about his nature, about his evil plans and about your fate in eternity if you fall prey to him. And you will avoid him and take refuge in My arms, for the truth also shows you My nature, which is only love for all My living creations .... never ever will I allow you humans to be completely deprived of the knowledge of your destiny, never ever will I leave you to My adversary without a fight, and never ever will he be allowed to ascend to the throne by completely dominating you, My living creations, and forcibly pushing you away from Me. Yet I will not forcibly influence you humans, you will always be free to let yourselves be taught by Me, to accept My teaching and thus also be guided into the right knowledge. But if you listen to Me you will also escape from his power, for even he cannot force you but he can make you submissive to him if you don't resist him. And I will help you to resist him by supplying you with the pure truth, for this will give you strength and increased will to turn to Me and escape from him ....

(31.10.1948) Satan’s power is therefore great, and you will experience things at the end of times which will prove his power to you, yet it does not extend to creations which are still carriers of the bound spiritual. Thus he can certainly influence people by trying to influence their will, and with his support these people will be able to accomplish extraordinary things, yet his power does not extend beyond the human being, and therefore I will also step forward in the end in a very special way in order to counteract his power, that is, to give people proof of My existence as far as this is possible without compulsory faith. I obviously intervene in the laws of nature .... I abolish laws but announce this beforehand, as I have always done in order to prove the truth of My word to people and to reveal Myself as creator and controller, as almighty God, so that they will believe and know that the time of the end has come. I announce Myself and appear when the time is right. What has never been observed before will then come to light, what was completely impossible will become possible through My will, and science will be faced with riddles which are unsolvable to it. I abolish the laws of nature .... what this means no human being can imagine because it has not been experienced before. Yet this, too, is part of My plan from eternity, that satan’s power will be contrasted with My might and power in the last days and that people can now freely decide which power they want to be subject to. For now human powers and inexplicable supernatural power are facing each other again .... Destructions take place through the former, which are works of satan, because hatred, unkindness, greed for possessions and all bad instincts are the cause, whereas My working cannot be attributed to any human influence, thus other than human forces must be the cause and are therefore visible evidence to the believers that the end has come .... Anyone who has been informed of the truth will find it easy to believe. And therefore you should come to Me, you should request the truth from Me and accept it if I convey it to you directly or through My messengers ....

Amen

Satan bound .... The new earth ....

B.D. 5769 from September 14th 1953, taken from Book No. 63

The power of evil will be broken for a long time, Satan will be put into chains .... a period of peace will replace the time of battle in the universe, no being of darkness will be able to oppress the people on earth; Satan himself and his followers will be bound for a long time, and people on the new earth will not loosen his restraints because they will be closely united with God and will no longer strive for anything else but Him, Who will then take loving care of them, both spiritually and physically. This period of peace on earth will make up for the time of indescribable adversity during the last days on this earth, which is granted to those people who are and want to remain faithful to God. It will truly be a time of battle for them since they will be spiritually and physically persecuted and barely able to defend themselves against their pursuers, who will even threaten their lives if they refuse to submit to them. But time and again these people have been promised through seers and prophets a time of peace, a time when no one will be in danger anymore from any side, when body and soul may enjoy the wonderful works of divine love, when a blissful peace will fill their hearts through the presence of the One Whom they love and for Whom they have suffered.

Everything will be peaceful, creations and living beings alike will live in perfect harmony, and even the bound spiritual substance will progress and quickly surrender its resistance because it will sense the nearness of the One to Whom it shall surrender again, and because people's spiritual emanations will soothingly affect the bound spirits within the creations. People will have already passed their test of will, therefore a decision will no longer be necessary on the new earth, since people will belong to God with body and soul and cannot be separated from Him anymore. But everything pertaining to Satan will languish in darkness; it will be banished again into hardest matter and unable to influence the souls striving towards the light, it has to submit to God's will and will be deprived of its power for an infinitely long time. Satan himself will be weak since everything which had supported him and his power will be bound and thus withdrawn from his influence.

In the midst of his world he will be without strength, until people's wrong will once again provides him with power, but this will only happen after a long period of time, after the first generations of earth, the inhabitant of paradise, their children and children's children, have long since entered the spiritual kingdom .... when a rift occurs again in the direction of the emerging generations' will .... Then people will once again let themselves become captivated by material things and through their desire will then also loosen the chains of the one who is lord of this unredeemed world. Then the state of paradise will also come to an end, the time of peace will once again be superseded by a time of battle between light and darkness, for then the struggle for people's souls will start again until another developmental period expires, yet with the result that innumerable beings will have achieved their spiritualisation and Satan's power will lessen increasingly until he, too, will have to surrender one day which, however, will still take an inconceivably long time and countless periods of Salvation ....

Bondage under satan and damnation ....

B.D. 3632 from December 21st 1945, taken from Book No. 46

You will be enslaved for eternity if you sell yourselves to satan for the sake of earthly reward. You will be unfree and powerless again for an infinitely long time, for as soon as satan is bound, all spiritual beings which made themselves in bondage to him of their own free will will also lose their freedom. And this again means an infinitely long time of captivity which is agonizing for you and involves unspeakable suffering because lack of freedom and powerlessness does not correspond to the original state which was your share before the apostasy from Me. Yet if you profess My adversary you will also have to accept the fate My adversary has prepared for you .... darkness, powerlessness and bound will .... and thus through torments for eternities. The path of ascent lies brightly and clearly before you if only you want to take it, and you will not lack strength either, yet you must approach Me for it but not surrender to the one who wants your ruin. He entices you with earthly pleasures, with material goods, in order to win your souls, but I promise you spiritual goods, I want to lead you into the kingdom of peace where many dwellings are prepared for you if only you comply with My call, despise the world and only strive for Me and your spiritual well-being. But if you don't listen to Me, if you pay attention to My adversary's voice and let yourselves be beguiled by his promises, My flow of strength cannot touch you, and the path to ascent is too difficult for you if you don't take hold of My hand and let yourselves be guided. I want to give you eternal freedom but you prefer servitude under My adversary's power, you choose the path down into his kingdom yourselves and thereby make the eternal home inaccessible to you, which offers you glories of an incomparable kind. Yet your will is free, and if you desire servitude you will also have to bear it, you will have to go into captivity for a long time so that one day there will be the possibility again that you will turn to Me of your own free will, that you will believe My words and want to let yourselves be redeemed from satan’s bondage, who is and will remain My adversary for eternities before he, too, will bow down to My will and all evil will be completely redeemed. My admonition, however, resounds over and over again .... don't sell your souls for the sake of earthly goods, strive to acquire the spiritual kingdom for yourselves, strive towards Me and let yourselves be guided upwards by My hand, so that you will escape the dominion of the one who wants to destroy you forever ....

Amen

Death is conquered .... power of satan broken by death on the cross ....

B.D. 4997 from November 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

In the hour of Christ's crucifixion the great act of redemption of the spiritual from satan’s bondage took place. His power was broken, he lost control over the spiritual embodied as a human being, as soon as he wanted to be free from him. Through His crucifixion, through His blood, the man Jesus had redeemed the whole of humanity from the one who was My adversary and did not want to release the spiritual, which his will had brought into being by using My strength. Hence humanity was no longer in a hopeless state; it could detach itself from his power if it had the will to do so, because the man Jesus had paid the purchase price with His blood ....

With this explanation I want to make you humans understand that you are not hopelessly at satan’s mercy, that you can all liberate yourselves as soon as you acknowledge Jesus Christ as redeemer, Who sheltered My abundant strength of love within Himself which let Him become a divine being Which united with Me eternally. Satan no longer has the power to force a person's will if he turns to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ himself, he can certainly tempt him in every way but never forcefully influence him, otherwise his power would still be unbroken. Death is overcome .... death is a state of complete powerlessness, a state of ruin and darkness .... Death is overcome because Jesus Christ Himself has conquered it, because He gives eternal life to the one who participates in His act of salvation, who is therefore willing to make use of the graces acquired by Jesus .... who wants Jesus to have died for him too, that He also shed His blood for him in order to redeem him. Satan certainly still has great power but only over people who have no faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer. There his power is still unbroken until they also place themselves under the cross of Christ and ask Him for help against him. The love of the God-Man Jesus is without limits, otherwise He would not have become one with Me. And this love does not deny itself to anyone who comes to Him and asks for help. He stands up for battle as an adversary against satan if only the winning of a bound soul applies. And therefore every person's earnest prayer for protection and help against him will be heard and satan will only have power over a person if he willingly hands himself over to him. You humans can therefore firmly believe that Jesus' love is a thousand times stronger than satan’s power. And that His love applies to every bound being which only lifts its eyes to Him in its adversity. Satan certainly walks about like a roaring lion and seeks whom he devours .... But Jesus Christ as one with Me is also lord over him .... He is the Good Shepherd, Who guards His sheep from the enemy, and His sheep include all who are not against Him. He laid down His life for His sheep .... Therefore He will not let any of them fall into the clutches of the enemy if they confess Him in their hearts. For He has infinitely greater power because He has become one with Me and possesses all strength and power from Me. For He is My son Who, out of love, took humanity's guilt upon Himself and sacrificed Himself to Me. And if you humans call upon Him for help against your enemy He will also hear you and snatch every soul from satan which wants to escape from him. Only your will has to be directed towards Him, Who redeemed the world through His crucifixion ....

Amen

Love is the most effective weapon against evil ....

B.D. 3187 from July 11th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

The human being's most powerful weapon against all evil is love .... Anyone in possession of love is protected by God Himself, because He dwells in him and truly everything must give way to His power. Evil takes flight from this weapon or allows itself to be overcome. For love is its most effective foe which it cannot bear up against. Love subjugates everything that comes into contact with it, if it does not visibly escape from it. This is why love will always be a person's most effective weapon; he will always be successful in battle and need not fear anything if he uses this weapon to fight with .... This should be heeded during every situation in life, during every dispute and above all during the final time of battle, when love itself will come under attack. For God's adversary will very strongly insist that even kind-hearted activity should be suppressed and thus made impossible to accomplish. He will put pressure on people into passing laws which will restrain the kind-hearted actions expected by God. He will not shy away from using people to declare something to be wrong, which alone corresponds to God's will, he will demand unkindness where God requests actions of love, because he can only triumph over people if they no longer use this weapon of love. And this denotes a great danger for the human soul which must be fought against completely consciously. Therefore God admonishes people to continuous kind-hearted activity, He explains to them the blessings and the strength a person can draw from constant actions of love. He must not let himself be misled by secular laws and only ever do what his heart tells him to do, for without love he will descend into darkness and the adversary will have reached his goal .... Love is divine, and he who remains in love carries God within himself and need not fear any power, regardless of how much it threatens him. He who remains in love inwardly resists the intentions of the world which is governed by the adversary. And this resistance cannot be broken by anyone, for the adversary's power is too weak to affect the strength of love. Love may not be banished or it would mean total downfall. Only those who love will live; heartlessness, however, will inevitably result in the soul's death. It is the adversary's intended goal to pull all the soul's striving towards the light into darkness. But he has no power over the one who lives a life of love, and he who lives in love shall also give love to his neighbour, so that he will recognise the strength of love and likewise strive for it by practising love wherever the opportunity presents itself to him. Only someone having shaped himself into love will be strong in the coming time. He will not be afraid of anything, he will try to balance each onslaught with love and he will erect a wall around himself which no-one will be able to pull down. Love is the mightiest factor on earth, it is the key to wisdom, it is the bridge into eternal life, it is the guarantee for God's love, and thus it also signifies light and strength, and both are life .... enabling the soul to be active in all wisdom for all eternity. Only love leads to the goal, only through love will the soul in the human being attain the original state again, only love brings God closer to him and may therefore never be excluded. And at no time ever should people give in to the laws which inhibit their activity of love and which is therefore always the work of the one who, as God's adversary, is devoid of all love and therefore fights against it ....

Amen

Bondage of divine love .... freedom from the adversary ....

B.D. 7340 from April 18th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

All of you will become free from your adversary as soon as you trustingly hand yourselves over to Me, as soon as you grant Me the right over you which you once relinquished to My adversary. He is truly your enemy, for he wants to prevent you from attaining beatitude .... But with Me there is light and strength and bliss, and therefore he wants to prevent you from making contact with Me. And he also keeps you bound until you desire Me yourselves .... But then his power will be broken, for I know about your desire and fill you with great joy, for thereby I will regain My children again, whom I had lost to My adversary for eternal times. Every heartfelt, fully believing prayer is therefore your voluntary acknowledgement of Me as God and father to Whom you want to return .... And you can give Me no greater pleasure than to often dwell with Me in thought, to enter into a silent dialogue or even to expect an answer from Me to questions you address to Me in the belief that you will receive an answer from Me. Then you will only testify that it is your will to return to Me, and then My adversary will have lost all power over you, although he will not stop struggling for your soul so that it will fall prey to him again. But My might and strength is stronger, and once you have turned to Me I will not let you go again, after all, My bondage is only bliss and therefore cannot be compared to the bondage of bondage by My adversary. I wrap My child in an unbreakable bond of love from which it will no longer want to release itself because it causes it bliss. And thus you need not fear My adversary as your enemy either, for he is powerless the moment you unite with Me through works of love, heartfelt prayer, secret dialogue and every desire to belong to Me .... And therefore it is extremely easy for you to attain beatitude again, because you only need to establish the bond with Me, but this has to happen of your own free will and out of love. And you can easily kindle love for Me in yourselves if only you see all the good that surrounds you and which you experience yourselves in earthly life, for all these are My gifts of grace to you which My love has in store for you. And if you can recognize My love therein, love for your God and creator will also soon be kindled in you, and you will approach Him as a child, you will love Him as your father of eternity and you will become free from My adversary, for he is powerless against love, love is the only weapon he succumbs to. But once you are free from him you have already fulfilled your task, for then you belong to Me, and this is your earthly task to seek and find unity with Me, which you will certainly establish through love for Me and your neighbour. But to be free from My adversary also means to have found redemption from sin and death, for if you acknowledge Me as your God and father you also acknowledge the one in Whose shell I walked the earth to redeem you .... Love has brought you light, you know that I and Jesus Christ are one, and you have given yourselves to Him, thus to Me, you have become Mine of your own free will and will remain so for all eternity ....

Amen

Victory over the adversary with Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7519 from February 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

Only with and through Jesus Christ can you become blessed .... As long as you still keep your distance from Him the gates into the kingdom of light are closed to you, and His adversary still keeps you under his control, because then you still belong to him voluntarily. Only when you direct your gaze to the cross can you become free from his control, for then you will also look towards Jesus Christ, Who died for you on the cross, and you will consciously enter the circle of those for whom the man Jesus gave His life in order to redeem them from his control. Then Jesus' blood, which is intended to wash you humans clean from sin, will not have flowed in vain, and then you will make use of the work of grace yourselves, you will acknowledge Jesus Christ as God's son and redeemer of the world, and thereby you will also acknowledge God Himself, Who embodied Himself in the man Jesus in order to accomplish the work of redemption on earth. And therefore you must profess Him during your earthly life, you must not distance yourselves from Jesus Christ, you must live your life with Him, you must always be mindful of His crucifixion and appeal to Him that He may also have died for you in order to redeem you, for you must fully consciously acknowledge the act of salvation. You must know that you are lost without Him, that His adversary will not release you from his power as long as you do not stand behind the one Who defeated the adversary through His death on the cross. But as soon as you stand by His side you will also be victorious over the enemy of your souls .... You will possess the strength and also muster the will to set yourselves free and want to belong to Jesus Christ all the more intimately the more you devote yourselves to Him and the more willingly you make use of the blessings of the act of salvation. To go through earthly life with Him, with Jesus Christ, also means to have found redemption .... it means no longer being weakened and at the mercy of God's adversary, it means having found forgiveness of sins and safe protection against all temptations, for Jesus Christ will always stand by the human being and ward off the adversary if only His help is requested. Yet without Jesus Christ the human being is too weak to resist him, he lacks both the will and the strength to defend himself, and the adversary still has his full power over him. But Jesus has become victor .... He redeemed the souls from him with His blood and through His death acquired the strength for you, which you can now request from Him for the battle against the enemy of your souls. And you humans should all make use of this privilege, you should let Jesus Christ give you what He acquired for you, then you will also possess the strength to resist, Jesus Christ's fighter will always walk by your side and fight for you, and with Him you will gain victory over the one who kept you bound for eternities .... You will be able to release yourselves and powerfully resist him, for you now draw strength from your divine redeemer Jesus Christ, Who will provide you with it in abundance if only you call upon Him and appeal to Him for strength for the sake of His crucifixion. You will be strong and powerful with Him, yet you will have to remain weak and miserable without His help in the hands of your enemy, because you have no strength to resist yourselves and therefore need the help of Jesus Christ. Therefore request it at all times, escape the adversary's power by consciously turning to Jesus Christ and appeal for His protection, which He will surely and gladly grant you, Who died for you on the cross in order to redeem you ....

Amen

Intercession for Lucifer ....

B.D. 6459 from January 24th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

I do not withdraw My love from any being, no matter how low it has sunk, no matter how far it is from Me .... For it once came forth from My love and will eternally remain in My love. And this also applies to the first-created being whose sinfulness distanced it infinitely far from Me .... whose arrogance resulted in its fall into the deepest abyss and which requires eternal times until it has found its way back to Me again .... until it returns to its father's house and is received back by Me as My son .... until its love also fully belongs to Me again. This being was called from eternity to supreme beatitude, and therefore it was created in My image, which could dispose of light and strength without limitation and therefore its beatitude was also unlimited. The fact that this being fell made it sinful to an extent which you humans have no idea of, for it had supreme knowledge, it consciously sinned against its creator and father, Whom it also recognized as its source but did not want to acknowledge .... This was its sin because it rejected My love by denying Me Myself and thus established the abysmal distance from Me. It consciously threw itself up to My adversary, to My enemy, and henceforth fought against Me .... A return of this being takes eternities because it has to go back the same way in order to reach Me, and because the turning away from Me also required eternities, because its ascent also has to be covered step by step and cannot be skipped arbitrarily. A sudden change of will is therefore not possible for this being because it did not allow itself to be captured like all other fallen beings, for it was not able to be ascended by My first-created being .... as My first-created bearer of light .... I left him free when he refused to take the same path through creation. But this refusal became a service for Me as well as for the beingness which had fallen into the abyss through its guilt. He now served Me as a counter pole in the free will decision of those fallen ones .... Every possibility to return to the father's house has also been opened up to him because My never-ending love is also meant for him. But I do not force any being's will to be submissive to Me .... This is the difference that I bind no-one by My power while he keeps his beings bound. If I bind the beingness in the works of creation and take away its free will, then this is a work of My love for the wretch, which I only snatch from its power in order to make it able to decide freely for once .... But he himself is not under any power, he is free, and everything he does is his innermost urge, and this is truly evil .... And he will never give up his resistance against Me as long as he is strong, only when he is down with weakness will he call out to Me .... But it is different with the beings he has plunged into the abyss, which lost My strength of love due to the removal, although I Myself did not withdraw love from them, and which would be eternally held in the abyss by his power if I did not assist the completely powerless and withdraw it from his influence until it has enough strength again to be able to freely choose its lord. Then, however, My adversary will demand his right, which I will not deny him because the beings once followed him voluntarily. Then therefore .... in the stage as a human being .... the spiritual battle takes place, the influencing of the human being's free will by good or bad forces .... And this struggle is brought to a decision by love. Love will and must always win the victory .... And you will now understand that and why loving intercession for this struggling spiritual being is of greatest success .... You will understand that My might may not intervene because I do not force any being .... that My adversary can only ever be opposed by love and that this is the only weapon he succumbs to, which weakens him so that he releases what belongs to him. Jesus Christ offered the greatest labour of love for the redemption of the unfree and thereby snatched all the souls from the adversary which took refuge under His cross .... But in order to take the path to the cross many beings also need help, which can therefore be given to them through loving intercession on the part of already free people .... Loving intercession is a great factor in the redemption of the souls under My adversary's control .... who is the only being in all of infinity which wants to rule and exerts coercion on the spiritual being which was originally created in fullest freedom, but who is not under My control insofar as I determine his thinking, willing and acting .... From My point of view this being is also completely free .... To whom, then, do you want to appeal for this being? And what do you want to achieve through your prayer? That I change its will? .... That I might appease his hatred? That I may move him to repentance, which he must do voluntarily? All paths are open to him, I do not hinder him but I do not exert any compulsion on him, even no compulsion of love, because his fall was and is different from the fall of the beings he brought into being with My strength .... and because he is their enemy and acts as an enemy towards them, because he prevents these beings from attaining happiness and bliss again as they once did .... He faces Me as an adversary and he loads sin after sin onto his head as long as he abuses his power and so oppresses the being in the stage of free will that the return to Me is only possible for him through the help of Jesus Christ .... Only love can release you from his power .... and if you wanted to release him then you would have to love him, and that means uniting with him .... Your help you can give only consists of redeeming his followers so that he will be weakened, for he will never change as long as spiritual things still belong to him; only when he stands alone, when everything he once overthrew has reached the height again, will he give up his hatred, his arrogance and his will which is contrary to Me, and then My love can take hold of him and I can be a loving father to him again .... For then he will desire My love again, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Premature return of Lucifer ....

B.D. 7503 from January 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

You will also always be supplied with the truth, as I have promised you .... I will not leave you in erroneous thinking as soon as it is only your will to stand in truth: It is an erroneous view to speak of the return of My adversary, Lucifer, which will still require eternities before he himself makes this return to Me. Again and again I tell you that his situation is different from that of the beings which once fell away from Me, which indeed also renounced their love for Me and voluntarily distanced themselves from Me and therefore descended into deepest darkness .... Yet they were beings influenced by him, even though they were endowed with free will, to whom he presented himself as 'God' and thus induced them to follow him. And they allowed themselves to be dazzled by his light and beauty, in which he still shone before his final separation from Me took place .... But these beings did not see Me and therefore they followed him .... Lucifer himself, however, recognized Me, he knew that he had come forth from Me even though he was unable to behold Me. He deliberately sinned against Me, he exalted himself above Me and thereby incurred a guilt which will take him eternities to atone for, because he does not take the path which I Myself have prepared for the spiritual beings .... the path through the creations of this earth, through matter .... because he still works as a free spirit in a negative sense, because he acts as My antipole on all spiritual beings which walk the earth embodied as a human being. His freedom has not been taken from him but he uses it wrongly. He has to travel the same path again on which he distanced himself from Me in order to reach Me. And he has by no means changed his mind, he still harbours hatred and enmity towards Me because he feels equal to Me and envies the strength which he also drew from Me as long as he was united with Me in love. In his deluded thinking he sees in his followers the fullness of his strength .... And this following is very great and will not let a feeling of weakness arise in him for a long time yet. Until then, however, a return of the one who still believes he can overthrow Me and raise himself to My throne is not to be thought of either. But one thing is certain, that everything spiritual would already be on the path of return to Me if he had taken this path himself, for what he does will also irrevocably be done by his followers .... which is why this view is also wrong, that it is only his followers who work in the last days .... He, Lucifer, is and remains the prince of darkness, and he will not leave his kingdom for a long time to come towards the light. He will still often have to be bound by Me if his activity manifests itself in such a way that there is a danger that people will be deprived of every opportunity to find Me .... which will always happen at the end of a period of redemption where he will be granted great freedom which he will use extensively. A long time will be necessary until the followers detach themselves from him, but not a second sooner will My adversary give up his resistance against Me, which I have foreseen since eternity and was able to make his will serviceable for My plan of salvation .... which, however, I would never have done if only the slightest prospect of a change of will existed which would bring the prodigal son back to Me .... He will not start the way back until he will lie weakened on the ground and must first appeal for My strength in order to be able to rise and return to Me. But then he will also be welcomed with open arms, for My love has no end, and even the deeply fallen will be illuminated by My love until it finds its way back to Me again from where it once took its departure .... until it enters the father's house again and is now eternally unspeakably happy ....

Amen

Worlds will still arise and pass away again, again and again, My creative will will become active, again and again. I will create new forms which are to shelter the spiritual striving up to Me .... and again and again I will dissolve them in order to redeem the spiritual in them .... There will still be an eternity of becoming and passing away until I can consider My work completed, until all spiritual substances have returned to Me and I have also won over My adversary for Me when he, devoid of all strength, voluntarily turns to Me, Who is his God and father .... And he will request love from Me and receive it in abundance .... But eternities will pass before this happens, for as long as there is still unredeemed spiritual substance there will also be creations .... and as long as there are creations the redemption of the fallen one has not yet been accomplished .... And so long also remains he My adversary and enemy who has fallen himself and is to blame for the fall of countless beings .... whose love for Me dwindled when he became aware of the excess of strength which flowed through him and as the source of which he was supposed to acknowledge Me and resisted it .... And therefore he first has to lose the feeling of his strength before he surrenders to Me again as a self-weakened being and will then also love Me again as in the beginning .... He cannot change his feelings towards Me beforehand, he cannot give up his resistance beforehand because he still believes himself to be in possession of strength as long as there is still unredeemed spiritual that belongs to him .... For this awareness of strength was the cause of his fall into the abyss .... You humans do not know what he was to Me and what he still is to Me .... You do not know that he unintentionally collaborates in the deification of the beings created by Me, but in his delusion and in his hatred against Me he does not realize that I have also made him an instrument of My plan, which, however, does not lie in his will .... but that I was only able to do this because I knew about his abysmal hatred .... but would never have used him for My purposes if only there had been the slightest prospect of an early return, of the change of his will and his feeling against Me. I have only made his free will serviceable to Me, but I have known about it since eternity. I would truly have supported the possibility of a change of will with all means .... precisely because he was the first created being to whom all My love belonged and whom I certainly would have also wanted to rescue from the abyss. But his resistance is unbroken and will remain so for eternities. And I built My plan of deifying the 'created being' on this resistance, which was well known to Me, and I was able to do so completely out of the question .... But that nevertheless My undivided love also for this first-created being .... now My adversary .... is also meant for this first-created being, it follows from the fact that I respect his will, that I allow him full freedom in his activity against Me as long as this happens to the extent he is allowed .... But if he exceeds the limits of his authority I bind him, whatever will happen at the end of a redemption period, that I put him in fetters again so that the voluntary striving towards Me is not endangered .... but to always release him from it again when he is to serve Me again, even if unconsciously, that the spiritual reaches its final maturity .... For truly I say to you: Heaven and earth serve Me in My plan from eternity, and so that My adversary did not retain the predominance he initially had over the host of fallen spirits, I sent 'My son' to earth .... Who was now victorious in the righteous battle against My adversary .... Who broke the power of the latter, so that the will of the being could now oppose his will by availing itself of the graces of the work of redemption .... Through Jesus' death on the cross, the adversary's power decreased immensely, he was defeated .... but he now rebelled all the more violently because the light of knowledge had left him, because the fall into the abyss also meant darkness of his spirit and therefore he always just rages blindly, driven by hatred .... without recognizing where his hatred leads .... that again and again the spiritual that still belongs to him is snatched away and banished in the creations and thus he always loses more of his strength, for the fallen alone is his stock of strength .... and the redemption of the fallen means a constant decrease in his strength .... And that this redemption is possible is why I Myself died on the cross .... My love made this redemption possible, and My love will not rest until all that has fallen away from Me is in My possession again .... until it has voluntarily found its way back to Me and now My adversary, deprived of his strength, will also surrender to Me .... until he, too, desires redemption, which My endless love does not deny him .... until the prodigal son has returned home to his father's house, to Me, from Whom he once took his departure ....

Amen
