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.

Natural disaster before the end ....

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

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

Amen

People's fear .... Natural disaster and its consequences ....

B.D. 4633 from May 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

All disbelievers will suffer inconceivable tribulation when I manifest Myself through the forces of nature, for they will experience a spectacle of development by tremendous forces against which the human being himself will be completely powerless. People will be seized by mortal fear, and even My Own will be affected yet be miraculously strengthened by My help as soon as they lift their thoughts up to Me. The disbelievers, however, will have no support to hold on to and will be hopelessly exposed to the elements of nature. In view of death a few will call to Me in heartfelt need, and their call will reach My ear and denote earthly or just spiritual rescue, if their hour has come. Yet then they will still have gained their eternal life.

But in the main, people will be senselessly scared, that is, they will be incapable of thinking of God, they will try to save themselves and face the same difficulties everywhere, for the whole of nature will conspire against them, all elements will be in tremendous uproar, water, fire, storm and light will leave their natural order and cause an unimaginable amount of devastation which will cost countless human lives. It will just be a short action but have extremely far-reaching consequences for all survivors, for only now will there start an earthly time of hardship which surpasses all previous experiences. People will have to change their way of life completely, they will have to make use of everything left to them, they will have to rely on themselves and cannot expect any earthly help for a long time, since they will be completely cut off from the world and contact will not be able to be established again in a hurry.

The magnitude of the disaster will be incomprehensible, yet I constantly draw your attention to the fact that you should not abandon yourselves to earthly possessions, that you should not consider them important and forget about your soul, as it entirely depends on its maturity how you will bear up to the aftermath.

Proclamations of this nature meet with little belief and yet should be taken extremely seriously, for they will fulfil themselves literally. And every day is still a gift of grace which you should utilize, not in an earthly sense but spiritually, for only your spiritual possessions are of lasting value. Nevertheless, I promise My protection and My help to all of you who believe and want to be of service to Me. Don't let My Words depress you but know that everything, even the most difficult, can be endured if you hand it over to Me, if you ask Me to help you carry your burden .... I will not leave you and will help you persevere until the end ....

Amen

'There shall not be left one stone upon another .... ' Great adversity ....

B.D. 4639 from May 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

A time will come when everything that was laboriously acquired and built up shall be lost; a time will come when people will realise that everything which was intended to provide them with physical prosperity is worthless and they will be completely destitute, because they lack spiritual wealth whose possession lets people get over the loss of earthly goods. I constantly draw your attention to this time for it will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture .... not one stone will be left upon another .... The fact that such a dreadful work of destruction shall take place as an act of God might sound incomprehensible to worldly-minded people, nevertheless it is inevitable, firstly, because it is intended to have an educational purpose and then it is also designated in the eternal plan of Salvation to enable the spiritual substances at a lower stage of development to attain other forms. It is necessary for people to be extraordinarily severely affected for they pay almost no attention to their spiritual development anymore and shall be given final encouragements, although they can also ignore them if they are unwilling to change and to ascend. They can only be treated even more harshly for they are no longer open to gentle admonitions and everything which hitherto was inflicted upon humanity for this purpose remains unsuccessful. However, the forthcoming time will involve a drastic change, so that people's thoughts will automatically turn to the meaning and purpose of earthly life and nevertheless cause a change in a few people, which will be truly beneficial for them.

The adversity will be so severe that it will awaken the willingness to help in those who still have a spark of love in their heart, and this spark will find nourishment and grow into a flame, for anyone who only wants to help will also actively help and ease his neighbour's difficult fate, because he knows himself how much distress every individual person's fate is causing. And those who are willing to help will also be helped by Me, they will receive help as a sign of a higher Power where no way out can be found anymore, Which lovingly draws up close to people to reveal Itself to them. For earthly help often seems impossible but that which is impossible for people can still be accomplished by Me, and thus even the greatest adversity is not hopeless because nothing is impossible for Me. And thus the love which is given to one's neighbour will bring forth good fruit, it will gain My love, and this signifies help and grace and an exceptional flow of strength, on account of which My Own need not lose heart, for they will not feel the adversity so much because they will be full of strength and always have Me by their side as a Helper Who, for the sake of their faith, will work evidently in order to still gain the few before the end who are weak in faith but nevertheless of good will .... They will receive strength and survive that time of need without damage to their soul. My Own, however, will be protected by Me and can anticipate this time without worry, for it will not last long ....

Amen

Chaos after the intervention ....

B.D. 8619 from September 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I keep telling you time and again that you will experience an incredible chaos due to My intervention .... The forces of nature will get completely out of control leaving you unable to think; only My Own will be able to pray to Me, although these will only be desperate prayers by sending short, pleading thoughts to Me, but I will hear them and protect them from the worst. Yet everything will become disorderly and people will be thrown into bitter states of adversity .... And this will already signify the end for many because they will lose their life although it is not yet the end of this world.

However, before the final end I will still try to rescue what will allow itself to be rescued .... I want to reveal Myself to those of weak faith so that they will call upon Me in their need and receive obvious help, so that their faith will be strengthened and they will still be helpful to Me when the earth's last phase begins. And I assure you that it will almost be too much for the individual and only One will be able to give you strength and send you help if you call upon this One in dire need ....

But you humans cannot be spared this intervention, for it is a last attempt to save the souls who are still without or of little faith. When they see no other way out people can nevertheless still remember their God and Creator .... a Power above them Which alone is able to help. Once the huge natural disaster is over, the adversity will not end and the chaos will constantly increase. And then it will show where there is still a living faith, for this alone will master all adversity ....

Anyone with a living faith will completely entrust himself to Me and truly, I will not let his faith be destroyed. Time and again he will be helped, and he will also try to lead his fellow human beings into faith, and depending on their will and personal inclination to help they, too, will receive help, for the desperate situation will motivate actions of love and thus will have fulfilled its purpose of awakening neighbourly love which, again, guarantees that I will give people My love and the strength to deal with their situation.

You, who belong to Me and want to fulfil My will and be of service to Me, truly need not fear this time of adversity, for your constant bond with Me assures you My protection and a great extent of strength. Besides, I will also need you again to spread My Gospel of love, which will then be extremely necessary, for once again people will display their nature and only a few will be helpful and assist their fellow human beings and they, too, will be helped time and again, of which they can be certain .... But, on the whole, ever greater selfish love will surface, and people will ruthlessly take what does not belong to them in order to improve their living conditions .... The aggressive person will prevail and want to ruin the weak. And this will particularly characterise this time of hardship and reveal that humanity is ready for its downfall. Nevertheless, My Own shall always rely on the fact that I know of their difficulties and will also remedy them for, truly, everything is possible for Me, and I will also take care of your earthly lives and provide the most remarkable help so that your faith will become ever more alive, and with the power of faith you will prevail over everything and yet cannot be overcome by your enemies ....

You may well believe that this time is approaching; after all, I Am still using all means of help to win over souls who are not yet entirely enslaved by My adversary .... I also want to reveal Myself in My love and power to them as soon as their faith is a living one, for conventional faith will be completely abandoned since it is not a convinced faith, which remains steadfast during such earthly hardship. And all those who previously had revelled in an excess of earthly possessions will be bitterly affected by this hardship as the transience of earthly possessions is visibly brought home to them. And the effect depends on their souls' maturity, they will either take refuge with God and appeal to Him for help or try using their own strength to succeed at the expense of their neighbour, because they lack love or they would take the path to Me.

This time of adversity will make great demands on you humans, nevertheless you will survive it with My help .... Therefore ask for it, and also appeal to Me in advance for the strength to be able to endure once the chaos starts. For you will be able to achieve much in unity with Me but you will remain weak and helpless if you rely on your own strength and presume not to need divine help .... For I Myself will be with everyone who calls upon Me in his adversity ....

Amen

Progress of the need .... sites of peace ....

B.D. 3423 from January 31th 1945, taken from Book No. 44

People give themselves false hopes if they expect improvement from the coming time, for it will only be bearable for a few people. Only those people who are united with Me through prayer and loving activity will be less burdened; the others, on the other hand, will have to go through a time of renunciation and most difficult life struggles in order to prepare themselves for the last test of earthly life, for the battle against faith .... Adversity and tribulation beforehand shall cause them to call Me, to learn to recognize Me, so that they will then remain faithful to Me and join the flock of My fighters .... As soon as they are united with Me the adversity and affliction will be alleviated, by virtue of their faith they will overcome all weakness and I will provide them with every relief when they have to endure the former for the sake of their fellow human beings. And therefore there can also be a quiet island of peace in the midst of greatest adversity; in the midst of human devils people can also live who are connected to God, to whom the former cannot harm anything, because a dense protective wall surrounds them, which is formed by good spiritual beings. And thus there will be places everywhere where My love and grace prevail in contrast to those where My adversary is active and where therefore no peace and tranquillity can arise. But I Myself create the places of peace because I know My own and will always make their life bearable for them. And these places shall also be recognized by fellow human beings as places of peace because I want them to take refuge there in adversity and receive words of comfort and strengthening from those who live in peace themselves and can now also distribute it by passing on My word, by awakening faith in My wisdom, love and omnipotence. For this faith characterizes the place of peace. But it will be very little represented amongst humanity, and therefore a haven of peace will only rarely be able to arise, for humanity no longer recognizes Me and is distant from Me .... And where I Myself cannot dwell there is no peace, no happiness and no light .... And the world will continue to be in darkness and earthly hardship despite the end of a phase of battle which has brought bitter suffering upon people, for they themselves are unwilling to accept instructions from those who constantly draw wisdom from their bond with Me. And this is why the time of adversity is not over so quickly, even though the earthly battle is nearing its end. For I can only consider those who strive towards Me and create an easier existence for them. For the majority of humanity, however, earthly life will continue to be a difficult battle until they submit to Me and make My will their own ....

Amen

Most difficult time of hardship before the end ....

B.D. 3753 from April 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You, who are now living on earth, have to pass the most difficult tests and endure the greatest suffering because the end is near and you do not have enough time for a slow maturing of your souls. The earthly burden will appear almost insufferable to you, and that shall be your proof that the last days have arrived. For severe hardship will always come to an end, but for the rest of your life you will have to languish with the burden of the most difficult living conditions, because the last work of your soul’s development has to be implemented for your salvation. But it is a brief period of time which, in spite of the harshest conditions, will in fact be bearable for My Own, whom I will care for in the most obvious way. Thus do not get disheartened by this prediction but trustingly raise your eyes to Me, Who looks into your hearts, Who recognises your will and Who will help everyone who is worthy of My help, who humbly calls to Me for help and prays to Me in spirit and in truth. However, those of you who are of weak faith or totally unbelieving should accept being instructed about the cause and purpose of the hardship and believe that you are approaching the end. And depending on your faith you will be helped. But in view of the end I cannot take the rod from you or else it would take even more immature souls by surprise, since due to hardship a few will still find their way back to Me.

And where an apparent improvement of living conditions becomes evident the activity of the opposing force manifests itself .... and that, too, shall be your proof, because My help will express itself differently even though I will take care of My Own earthly and spiritually too, so that their worst suffering is alleviated, but I will always provide them with inner strength and a firm faith and thereby enable them to endure a difficult earthly life. Whereas My adversary will provide people with material possessions and incite them to commit unkind actions, so that you will always recognise the origin of the supply of strength when you closely inspect the behaviour of people. Expect no improvement in living conditions since one hardship will give way to another because the end is near. Therefore prepare yourselves for the end, do not work in an earthly manner but a spiritual one .... serve each other where needed and thereby make the hard time endurable, because its purpose is to motivate you into loving actions which will bring you ever closer to Me. Don’t think of yourselves but think of your fellow human being’s distress .... Be helpful and willing to give .... There is not much time and thus it is especially hard, but it can also be exceedingly blessed if you heed My admonitions, if you listen to My Word and try to live by it. The end will come and with it the Last Judgment .... the decision which signifies salvation for My Own but also new banishment for My adversary. And therefore make sure that you belong to My Own, let the hard times be a lesson to you which will guide you to Me, listen to My messengers who instruct you and inform you of My will, who will also always be able to explain the cause and purpose of suffering to you, and it will not be without success for your souls .... And one day you will thank Me that I granted you this last time of grace and through hardship and misery sought to win you over for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Great tribulation proof of the truth of the divine word ....

B.D. 3786 from May 31th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The path to the eternal home is thorny and arduous, and especially so in the last days before the end. But it is all the shorter the more difficult it is to pass. The end is near and all obstacles will once again pile up in front of you, yet after overcoming them you will be able to walk freely and enter the spiritual kingdom where all hardship has come to an end. And if you seriously think about it, your difficult earthly existence must first give you the certainty that the end is near, for I have predicted to you since the beginning of this redemption period the hardship and tribulation you will experience before the end, that you will have to live through a hardship on earth such as has never been experienced before, and from this you can already recognize the truth of My word, for the suffering and hardship around you is immense and will become even greater. But to My Own I call out: Be patient and wait for My help .... What is inevitable, what I have proclaimed long before, must come to pass to the sorrow of countless people and to strengthen the faith of My Own. The time of great tribulation has dawned and anyone who remembers My word knows that the last hour will soon come. And he will bear witness to Me and My word, which is truth and will remain so for all eternity. And no matter how great the adversity is, it must be proof to you of the truth of My word and strengthen your faith, it must be a comfort to you, for with this prediction I also gave you the promise that I will shorten the days for the sake of the elect .... They will pass quickly but the hardship must first weigh heavily on you so that you will realize that the end is near .... You may never hope for improvement but you must humbly accept the adversity and join Me the more it weighs on you, then it will be worth more to you than the possession of earthly possessions which are without permanence and cannot follow you into eternity. "Come unto Me, ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest .... "Keep this promise, believe and trust Me, and every adversity will be bearable for you. Trustingly place your fate in My hand and it will guide you until the end of your life .... And no matter how stony the path is, it leads upwards, and in the end I am .... In the end the heavenly dwellings in your father's house await you, where no suffering oppresses you, where there is no hardship, where there is eternal peace and bliss, where your eyes will behold glories of which no human heart can imagine. Believe in My word and even in great adversity only recognize the confirmation of My word, for I have announced it to you and it must come true as My word as soon as the end is near. Therefore, only prepare yourselves for the end, drop all earthly worries, no longer create and work for earth but only for the spiritual kingdom, constantly make use of My strength and grace, remain in constant prayer, i.e. in constant contact with Me through thoughts and actions of love .... and you will not need to take a step without Me, you will have Me by your side as a constant guide, and no matter how thorny the path is, it will lead towards the right aim .... it leads into the father's house, it leads to Me, Who is your most loving father from eternity ....

Amen

Immense affliction before the end ....

B.D. 4883 from April 22nd 1950, taken from Book No. 55

People everywhere will experience immense affliction when the final adversity before the end starts. Every nation will go through suffering and distress, partly caused through human will, partly through the influences of nature or fateful events, and people everywhere will have the opportunity to place themselves at the service of neighbourly love, for wherever there is adversity it can be alleviated by people who are able and willing to love. All people will be affected apart from those who receive their strength from below, that is, whose hearts are so hardened that they are enslaved by God's adversary who will provide for them to an exceptional extent. The contrast between good and evil will strongly emerge everywhere, and thus a spiritual battle for people's souls will also be waged before the end. Spiritual influence will therefore trigger all instincts in the human being during the end time, both good as well as evil will visibly manifest themselves and, therefore, a separation will also be noticeable, for good people will keep away from evil ones and yet will constantly be pursued with hatred, on account of which good, and therefore God-inclined, people will suffer progressively more distress. There will be an extraordinary scale of adversity .... The words of the seers and prophets who have proclaimed this immense affliction for the time of the end can be applied in all instances; it is merely the cause of affliction which will not be the same everywhere. But a separation of the spirits will happen in all places and thus the time of end can be recognised. The earth and the spiritual realm will be the goal of people's efforts, and anyone aiming for the earth with its possessions will be lost for the spiritual kingdom, he will pay homage to the world and therefore to the one who governs the world. And the majority of people will focus on the world, whereas the spiritual kingdom will only have a few followers; only a small flock compared to the whole of humanity will consciously or unconsciously strive towards God with a will for good and abhorring evil. For this reason there will always be just a small number of spiritual aspirants present among people, at first they will be laughed at and ridiculed by their fellow human beings until people's evil nature breaks through and expresses itself in hostile actions against all those who abide by God and remain steadfast in faith.

This will be the start of an affliction the world has never before experienced .... Evil will prevail everywhere and suppress good, evil will indulge itself in all places and good will suffer adversity. Until, finally, even the life of God's faithful followers will be in danger, they will have no more protection because people will reverse the laws, that which is right will no longer be acknowledged and only the power of the stronger will count. And this will be with those whose attitude committed them to Satan. They will be favoured by him throughout their temporal lives, for they will have sold their souls to him in return and will have elevated themselves as masters over the weak, treating them vindictively and denying them all earthly necessities. The extent of distress will be such that the believers will require, and indeed receive, an extraordinary supply of strength so that they will not give up during the final battle, which will only last for a short time and will be shortened for the sake of the chosen, so that they will not weaken in view of the hardship within their own ranks and the affluence in the ranks of the adversary. Then salvation will come to them from above, as it is proclaimed. The Lord Himself will come in the clouds and deliver all those who remain true to Him. The affliction will come to an end and a new life will begin on earth, and God's faithful followers will receive their reward .... just as Satan's children will be punished, because God's justice demands their atonement. It will come to pass as it is written .... The Lord will fetch His Own and place them into a realm of peace, He will pass strict Judgment on all sinners and they, too, will receive what they deserve, and the hardship on earth will be over ....

Amen

Approaching trouble ....

B.D. 6067 from September 30th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

You are approaching a time of immense trouble and require great strength of faith in order to master it, because with your physical strength you won't be able to resolve it but certainly with spiritual strength. However, the affliction will befall you on account of your faith because the final time will have come when all of you will be demanded to make a decision .... Admittedly, the earlier worldly adversity, even though it is also inevitable, will affect all people and be a wake-up call for all, yet this adversity is a natural one and will therefore also be humbly endured .... However, the immense trouble affecting people on account of their faith has spiritual reasons and spiritual consequences, for then both the people, as God's opponents, as well as God Himself will demand a decision, and life in eternity depends on this decision .... People will be requested to deny their faith in God, and thus they will be forced by the ruling power to make a decision .... Then it will require tremendous strength of faith to defy this obligation and to openly profess God before the world .... However, anyone who has the will to do so shall also have the strength to resist, for this shall flow to him from the One Whom he fearlessly professed. And thus the affliction will arise from the fact that God's faithful followers will be placed under severe pressure by their opponents and be greatly damaged and demeaned in an earthly way, that these few will become a target for people to run riot in a God-opposing sense. A strong faith fends off all attacks but a weak faith becomes unstable and needs support which will indeed be granted to him when his will desires God. Yet this time must come because the day of the end comes ever closer and because the separation of the spirits must take place first. Many people will still be recalled who, without question, would descend in such times of affliction, and God will only preserve the life of the strong who offer resistance by virtue of their faith .... But He also knows who inexorably strives towards the abyss; He knows where any change of will is impossible .... And He will allow these people to keep their life so that what is proclaimed will come true .... that the goats will be separated from the sheep so that the great cleansing on this earth can take place, which will be followed again by a time of peace, by a time of righteousness ....

Amen

God's love and mercy in the last time before the end ....

B.D. 4080 from July 8th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

God's great love and mercy will evidently become apparent in the last days before the end when the believers will live in hardest tribulation. It will be a time of most bitter hardship for people who want to remain faithful to Him, for the adversary will take drastic measures against anyone who stands up for his faith and for Jesus Christ and His teaching. The measures taken to enforce faithlessness will be of such severity that people will offer little resistance and almost without exception profess themselves against God. But those who know the truth, who live in love and therefore also in the right knowledge of God, who call upon Jesus Christ as redeemer for His help, will also recognise in the measures the one who is announced as the Antichrist for the last time before the end. And for this reason, they will stand all the firmer and wait full of confidence for God's help and His coming, and they will not be disappointed either. God's great love will be revealed to them, for He is close to them at all times, so that even the unbelievers would be able to recognise Him if they were not of bad will and therefore completely under the sway of Satan. Yet anyone who is still weak and not completely apostate will still be seized by God's mercy, and he will be offered many proofs of divine activity so that it will be made easy for him to believe and to withstand all threats from the world. Only good will must not be lacking, then God's hand will reach out to him even in the last hour. It is difficult to predict to people what will happen in this time, because Satan continues to work out new plans and outdoes himself with cruelties, inhuman decrees and shameful actions against the believers. The believers' fate is apparently unbearable and yet they will draw so much strength from God that they will be able to endure all oppression and not to feel the hardship as much because their gaze is directed heavenwards and the world and earthly things no longer tempt them. Moreover, they hear the voice of the Lord .... they know that He shortens the days, for His promise has given them comfort, and thus they every day expect to be delivered from earthly adversity .... And yet the last day still comes as a surprise even to them; it will come when there is no longer any possibility of winning souls, and this will be the case very quickly, for the separation will soon be completed, the courage of people's conviction is only slight, and the decision for or against God will be demanded in a short time, and therefore it will also be the prelude to the end, for the tribulation to which the believers are now subject calls for God's help, otherwise the small flock of His Own would also be overcome by weakness and God would never allow this to happen again .... And thus He will come as Saviour in utmost adversity and take His Own to Himself .... And then comes the Judgment as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ....

Amen

End of tribulation .... judgment .... new earth ....

B.D. 3811 from June 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Yet the time of tribulation will also pass and be followed by a time of deepest peace and heavenly bliss for all who believe in Me and remain faithful to Me until the end. And just as the time of adversity has come upon the earth, My promise of the time of peace is also true, for My word is eternal truth, and it has to come true, a time has to follow again where there is no longer a spiritual low and therefore all earthly adversity is eliminated, where people live in closest union with God and are therefore also happy. But first a sifting has to take place which began with the great adversity and continues in the time of tribulation where people have to decide for Me or My adversary. And only an exceedingly great tribulation will bring this about, for people have become hardened and faithless and need the most severe means of education for the purpose of improvement. But even this time will come to an end and that shall be a comfort to My Own that I will shorten the days so that My Own will not fall away from Me in the time of greatest distress. A blessed fate awaits them on the new earth .... And those who believe in My word will find strength in this promise and withstand every onslaught of the world. For I will not leave My Own and will come to fetch them Myself when the height of adversity has been reached. With My strength and grace even the most difficult days can be endured, but the reward is certain for you .... a blissful, peaceful life after this time of tribulation, where you will praise and glorify Me, where you will thank Me from the bottom of your heart, where I will dwell with you Myself visibly and tangibly because you are full of love. Therefore, don't fear the time of tribulation, bear it in view of the end, accept it humbly, for it can still mean salvation for the lost souls and spare them the repeated earthly journey through the whole of creation. And recognize the truth of My word from everything that still comes upon earth, for I have long predicted it so that you should become firmer in faith, so that you can prepare yourselves for it and thus mature spiritually. Recognize My love, even though people will be painfully affected by My will or My permission .... For your souls this time of need is of great urgency, yet it will pass, it will not last long for the sake of My Own .... it must give way to a time of most delicious peace on the new earth, which will be enjoyed by all who are Mine and remain faithful to Me until the end ....

Amen

Vineyard work in the tribulation

Working together in love in the end time ....

B.D. 3343 from November 24th 1944, taken from Book No. 43

My own will have to unite closely if they don't want to become weak and discouraged in the last days. They must lift each other up and encourage each other, they must unitedly appeal for My help and faithfully expect it, they must make use of every opportunity to listen to My word, to practice love and to hold an inner dialogue with Me, so that they will always be able to go about their daily work strengthened and meet the demands of the world, insofar as they cannot be circumvented. For the time will be hard for everyone, and anyone who does not draw strength from Me, who does not let the strength of My word take effect on him, will find it unbearable and push him to the ground. But I always have the giver of strength ready for My own .... My word, which is offered to you from the heavens .... Whoever has this will also be able to endure this time, he will not pay attention to the tribulation and will not feel the hardship so tangibly, he will always be led out again, for I Myself will spread My hands over him so that no harm will come to him .... I Myself will lead him by the hand so that his foot will not stumble, and I Myself will lift him up and comfort him with My word if he is despondent and his heart wants to tremble. And therefore My word will be the only source of strength, and you must come together for My word, you must let Me speak to you at all times, in adversity and tribulation, in anguish and distress, you must listen to My voice and do what I ask of you .... Always and constantly give love, for hardship can only be alleviated through loving actions. For then you will draw Me to yourselves and with Me you will overcome everything .... And if you also oppose your enemies with love you will also be able to achieve spiritual success, for where you give love you win the hearts and thus weaken the adversary's power. And you will have many opportunities to do so because adversity puts all people in a position to ask for help. Then you will have to prove yourselves, you will have to set a good example for each other and practice love practically, and I will give you the opportunity to be helpfully active so that you spur on your fellow human beings and educate them to love. And every circle shall know that it is protected by Me, which unites in spiritual striving, which is willing to serve Me and eagerly accepts My word .... I will always be in the midst of people who have Me as their aim, I will obviously come to their aid in adversity, I will lead the individuals to each other so that they can serve Me together, I will grant them all protection so that they will never need to fear, for the adversity will never be greater than He Who lets it come upon humanity .... Anyone who acknowledges Me as lord and creator of heaven and earth need only lift his thoughts to Me with faith and trust and I will not disappoint him .... His faith is also a guarantee for My help, his faith calls for My presence and his faith reveals My fatherly love .... he will not call upon Me in vain, he will find an answer in every adversity .... And therefore approach the coming time undaunted, let Me rule and don't be afraid, for My love and omnipotence will end the time and lead you, My faithful, through to eternal bliss, and you will thank Me and praise Me that you were allowed to live through this time of grace, for it will bring increased blessings to those who remain faithful to Me .... a paradise on earth and a blissful life one day in eternity ....

Amen

The servants' mission on earth after the natural disaster ....

B.D. 3709 from March 10th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Whatever you hear through the inner voice is what you shall tell your fellow human beings when the time has come. For the mission you have to fulfil is to provide people with an explanation when they no longer understand world events and find it difficult to believe in a Creator of heaven and earth, in a loving Father, Who directs His children's destiny on earth. Then stand up and instruct them, and inform them of My great love .... Don't frighten them with God's wrath and the Judgment, for they are not yet punishments but merely the teaching methods I use in order to save people's souls. I Am not yet passing the final sentence but I won't leave any stone unturned in order to avoid having to condemn the souls on the day of Judgment to eternal damnation ....

And thus you should try to explain to them that the period of Salvation has expired, that there is only little time left until the end and that this time has to be utilized for their return to Me. People will doubt My love, they will doubt My omnipotence when they see the immense misery on earth caused by people's and, in the end, by My will, and anyone not of firm faith and informed as a result of his way of life will be in danger of falling away, that is, of abandoning Me completely, if he does not receive clarification.

Yet the magnitude of misery will also open their hearts and they will listen to you, and your Words will not go unheeded. And thus this time has to be particularly utilized, and you ought to speak as soon as you feel prompted from within to do so, for then it will always be My spirit which impels you to work for Me and My kingdom. And then inform them of the great spiritual hardship, make them aware of the fact that their bodies only live a short time but that souls live forever and thus their soul's fate is paramount; remind them to act with love, remind them to take less notice of their own hardship and to treat their fellow human beings' hardship with more empathy; inform them of the strength and blessing of neighbourly love, My constant readiness to help, and try to awaken or strengthen their faith. And you will not have to worry what you should say, for I will put all words into your mouth if only you want to work for Me, if you don't refuse to fulfil the task I give you through My Word.

You will hear My voice within yourselves more distinctly than ever and then don't fear any opposition, for I want you to work on My behalf and know how to shield you from those who want to prevent you from doing your work. Speak without worry, and don't question whether your action corresponds to My will, for once the time for your activity comes I will take possession of you, and you shall follow Me without resistance, that is, you shall do whatever your heart tells you to do. And you will clearly feel it in your heart; it will be your own innermost desire to speak to everyone crossing your path and to draw their attention to the impending end which will come just as certainly as My intervention through natural forces, just as everything I have announced through My spirit will fulfil itself ....

Amen

(Father words) chaos .... task of the workers for the kingdom of God ....

B.D. 4129 from September 24th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

The people who will survive My intervention, the raging of the elements of nature, will still be faced by indescribable chaos, and no-one will have the strength to be active in a constructive way apart from My Own who can constantly draw strength from their bond with Me. They will also master the most difficult living conditions, they will achieve great things because they will obviously be helped by extraordinary activity on My part, for their profound faith in Me allows for such activity. And they will find a field of work of far-reaching proportions .... There will be people everywhere who are left helpless in the world and unable to cope with the difficult circumstances. And to bring them to faith in Me and My love, to give them a faint recognition of truth, to stimulate them to active neighbourly love and thus to inform them of My word, that will be the task in the coming time of suffering, which you can well fulfil if you want to be efficient labourers for Me and work for Me and My kingdom. But then you will also have to go through the time of suffering yourselves, I cannot keep hardship and misery from you where the whole of humanity is affected by it, instead I have to confine Myself to filling you with strength so that you will survive the time of adversity. But this requires a constant relationship with Me, deepest faith and love for your neighbour. Then you can act as teachers for Me, and you yourselves will be guided as My will and My wisdom have determined since eternity. And for this reason, you should speak everywhere where it is possible, for what I once say will come true to the sorrow of countless souls which are still very far from Me and to the joy of those who have found their way to Me. You shall bring them the gospel, you shall inform them of the time of grace until the end, of My activity of an extraordinary kind and of the great spiritual success of the fulfilment of My will, which I make known to people through you. You shall instruct them of the effect of a life of love, of the consequences of right thinking and acting. And if you succeed in making them believers, in winning them over for My teaching, you will have worked successfully for Me and you yourselves will be blessed in a spiritual as well as earthly way and thus already be rewarded on earth through the bestowal of extraordinary blessings during the extremely difficult situation of life in the last days .... (24.9.1947) You will have neither earthly nor spiritual shortage, you will be able to work for My kingdom filled with strength, you will withstand all temptations and also be able to stand your ground to the world, you will be courageous and confident and by no means bow down to the measures of those who are hostile towards Me, and you will always and constantly receive My word, and this will be the greatest gift of grace which will make you endure the days until the end. For you will feel Me, you will be aware of My presence and thereby exceedingly happy, because I will also show Myself to you if increased strength is required for you. And therefore you, who are Mine, will also endure the last and most difficult days and patiently persevere until I come to fetch you into My kingdom. Yet they will weigh unspeakably heavy on those who have no faith in Me and who therefore have fallen prey to My adversary beyond all hope. For a terrible end awaits them .... They will remain under his control and will be banished anew, so that one day they will be able to be free from his rule, even if it is after an infinitely long time ....

Amen

Announcement of the approaching immense adversity ....

B.D. 7053 from March 2nd 1958, taken from Book No. 75

You will all require much strength but it will always be at your disposal, for anyone who merely listens to My Word will receive it as soon as he ponders this Word in his heart and acts accordingly. Then you will be addressed by Me Myself and also be illuminated by My love, hence strength must flow to you because My love is also strength .... But anyone who lets My Words fall on deaf ears will not benefit from them, for I cannot enter into contact with him and thus My strength cannot flow through him either. During the forthcoming time of adversity you will all need strength from Me .... for you will be not be able to cope with your circumstances in an earthly way; only with My help will you succeed. I want you to recognise your own power and weakness. It is My will that you shall become aware of yourselves as weak beings so that you will take refuge in the Power Which you then must certainly recognise. Then people's disposition will become obvious to you, their frightening lack of faith will come to light and the necessity to speak to people about Me and My kingdom, about My power and love for humanity, to proclaim the Gospel to them and to lead them to faith. Even during this time of adversity there will be vigorous disputes, the fighting will have to be done with the sword of the mouth because many of those of little faith will doubt a God and Father even more since it will seem incomprehensible to them that the disaster having befallen people should be the work of a loving God. For all people still value their earthly life as human beings too highly, and to explain to them the meaning and purpose of their life on earth and to talk about life after death is the essential task of those who want to work for Me and who will subsequently be faced with a large field of work. As yet people are still walking about in a complacent and indifferent state and don't consider their task on earth. Therefore they must be shaken up in their thinking, for even the countless accidents which claim many victims barely alarm them anymore, thus people can no longer be woken up by any other means than through an event on such a massive scale that it will affect everyone who survives it.

And if I constantly point this out to you then only so that you can prepare yourselves by practising love, by gathering strength, by uniting with Me and being able to receive My strength through the acceptance of My Word .... so that you will not approach this difficult time without being prepared, that you can support your fellow human beings and also proclaim My Word to them. I will remember all those of you who remember Me. And I will not leave any of you without strength who appeal to Me for strength in advance, who appeal to Me for My protection and My help before the event. And the extent to which you, who walk with Me, will be able to endure this will become apparent, even though you will not feel unusually burdened. Time and again I admonish you humans to join Me through kind-hearted activity and heartfelt prayer, and I repeatedly assure you that you will then receive ample strength and need not fear anything, even if you lose everything of an earthly nature, for only I can give you what you need, and I will also always take care of My Own, of those who do not forget Me, who see their Father in Me and, like children, seek refuge in My arms in every adversity and danger .... You, who want to serve Me, will especially feel My presence, because you recognise the truth of My Word and therefore push yourselves ever closer to Me, Whom you now recognise in His power and might, but in Whose love you believe as well and therefore trustingly hand yourselves over to Him. And since I will then need you as fighters for Me and My name, since I will need you to work diligently in My vineyard, I will so obviously support you that you will indeed be able to accomplish your work successfully. Everything will happen as it is intended in My plan of Salvation, because only I know what benefits My living creations .... And so the end has also been irrevocably determined. But this very end will give rise to a final work of mercy prior to it, even though it will seem like an act of cruelty to you. However, it will nevertheless still save some people; it will be used as a final means to show My living creations the path to Me and will not remain entirely unsuccessful. I consider the great spiritual hardship humanity is in and therefore still want to touch every individual soul in order to gain it for Myself, for this reason I must let an immense earthly adversity come upon earth but which can also be overcome with My help .... For My love and power will express itself wherever I Am called upon for help, and those who merely desire it will receive My strength ....

Amen

Purpose of the time of need .... comforting encouragement ....

B.D. 3388 from January 1st 1945, taken from Book No. 44

Do not be afraid when great adversity comes upon you but lift up your eyes to Me with complete trust that I will help you. And I will take you into My care and guide all your steps so that you will reach your aim. Anyone who believes in Me will not be pushed to the ground by suffering because he will find firm support in Me, because I am his support and impart strength and power to him. He will never feel abandoned, he will never be lonely, for he constantly feels Me next to him, and thus he reaches out to Me if he fears losing the ground beneath him. And I hold him and raise him up .... And therefore don't be afraid of the time you are approaching but expect it calmly and with composure and prepare yourselves for it by uniting with Me ever more intimately and let your faith become strong through prayer and loving activity. For both earn you grace, and this is expressed in an unshakeable faith. To possess a strong faith is a grace which you can always request through prayer. That is why prayer is the first thing you should do if you want to acquire strength and grace. And if you are in possession of strength and grace, of a strong unshakeable faith, then the coming time will not frighten you, then you will entrust everything that worries you to Me, you will become free from all fear because you know that I stand by your side and that nothing can happen to you in My presence .... Yet the time of adversity is inevitable for humanity which has not yet found Me or does not want to recognize Me. The coming adversity shall lead people to Me, they shall, inspired by your example, also raise their hands to Me, they shall call Me and choose Me as their companion, as their guide, to Whom they entrust themselves in hours of danger and Whom they ask for His protection .... I would also like to help them, yet until they call upon Me I cannot grant them My help, because they have to gain faith in Me before I can express Myself to them. For without this faith to assist them would be futile and would not benefit their souls. Yet for the sake of their souls I allow hardship to come upon people, for these souls are in great spiritual distress .... they are in danger of losing themselves to My adversary, and I cannot forcibly guide them back to Me but they have to find the path to Me themselves. And this is the purpose of the coming adversity, that they call to Me and I can now turn to them .... But you, who believe in Me, should not fear this time of need, for I can approach you at any time and give you what you need .... strength and grace, spiritual and earthly nourishment; I can help you in every adversity of body and soul, I can help you bear every suffering and always grant you My support, because you raise your hands to Me in deep faith and I, as your father, can always give you according to your faith ....

The inner Word during the time of affliction ....

B.D. 3408 from January 17th 1945, taken from Book No. 44

During the time of affliction, you will clearly and distinctly hear the voice of the spirit as long as you uphold your contact with God and desire to hear Him. He will not withdraw His gift of grace, He will convey it ever more abundantly for He knows what you require, He knows that you need comfort and support and that only He can offer these to you. The more closely you join Him the more He will endow you with His Word, with His love, which He manifests in the Word. And you will not be so harshly affected by the affliction, for God Himself will lift you up and above the misery. He can give you a joyful heart despite the external adversity, he will make you modest and patient, so that you will not miss anything and only desire that He will reveal Himself to you, that He will speak to you and that you receive His grace .... And He will grant you this desire, He will sharpen your spiritual ear and you will hear His voice wherever you are and at all times. And the spiritual nourishment will make you more profoundly happy than any earthly fulfilment. Your body will be content with little, you will no longer pay attention to it, yet your soul will be abundantly cared for and will never need to starve.

And if you are faced by earthly adversity it will no longer discourage you, because you will be able to take it to the One Who promised His help to you because He loves you like a Father loves His children. The time of affliction need therefore not frighten you if you consider yourselves His children and communicate with Him from the bottom of your heart. He will answer you and you will hear His voice in your heart, and what He tells you will lift you up and make you happy, it will make you strong and confident, it will silence all your worries and troubles, for you will be able to gain profound and unshakable faith, because you will be taught by God's spirit and His voice will affect you like a fatherly word of encouragement which you will never ever doubt. And your heart will rejoice because you recognise the loving Father, Who deems you worthy of His voice. Your spiritual progress will let you forget everything, you will endure whatever suffering and deprivations the body has to put up with, for your body will become less sensitive the more spiritualised the soul becomes .... The soul, however, will rejoice once it has reached the goal of sensing God and hearing His voice as often as it desires ....

Power of the word before the end .... need ....

B.D. 4386 from July 25th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Drink from the source of life, refresh yourselves with the bread of heaven and thus receive the strength from Me which you will urgently need in the coming time. For it is a great action with which I initiate the last phase on this earth, it is something so powerful that you must be full of resilience if you want to remain in control of the situation. I have set the time since eternity .... it is fulfilled .... Humanity has reached the spiritual low which causes the end of this earth, and therefore I prepare you to experience this end in a state of soul which corresponds to My will and ensures your entry into the kingdom of light. I want to protect the few people who strive towards Me from spiritual decline, I don't want them to succumb to the hardship of the time, that they doubt Me and completely lose their faith due to the great adversity if they have no explanation for it. For no human being would be blessed if I did not want to stay in contact with them through My word and impart to them the knowledge about what is about to happen. For unbelief is far greater, and despite My enlightening word it is already difficult for the believers to stand firm in the coming time. Yet My word will give you strength at all times, you will constantly find the support in My word which gives you stability when adversity weighs heavily upon you. My word will be spiritual nourishment for you, and through My word you will also know that you will be helped in every earthly and spiritual adversity. And I want to keep you in this confidence until the end .... Whatever may come, it will all pass quickly, it will be a time full of excitement that you will no longer have an earthly estimate of time, and if you only ever keep to My word and constantly draw strength from it, the end time will not cause you any spiritual damage but you will mature and with increasing maturity of soul feel the earthly adversity less and less until the end is there, which will bring you earthly and spiritual salvation. I only ever admonish you to maintain the connection with Me if you don't want to become weak. For all strength emanates from Me, in Me you will find a faithful helper, a support Who cannot abandon you, to Whom you can entrust yourselves without hesitation and Who alone can reduce and avert your adversity and also does so if you faithfully appeal to Him for it. And as soon as you let Me speak to you, as soon as you listen to My voice within you or receive My word in another way, you will be filled with strength and feel My presence, for I Myself am with you in the word, and where I am every adversity will be bearable. But I will remain with you until the end, as I have promised you ....

Amen

Retreat into silence .... time of need ....

B.D. 5629 from March 18th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Often dwell on spiritual thoughts, withdraw into silence, commune with your father of eternity and thus establish the connection with the spiritual world so that its radiations can touch you, so that you are open-hearted .... and there is no resistance in you against the flow of grace from above. God's strength of love cannot take effect on you as long as you close yourselves off, thus your will must be ready to receive the strength from God. You have to practice this conscious opening very often and you will happily perceive a spiritual strengthening, you will no longer have the feeling of being alone, then you will establish a relationship with the spiritual world which will give you a certain security compared to the earthly world. Don't let the earthly world gain control over you, but always put the spiritual world before it .... i.e., let God Himself always be present to you through conscious desire for Him .... Only in this way can you mature your soul, for then you will do everything consciously, you will seek to live according to the divine will in everything .... You have directed all your senses spiritually .... In the coming time you will need this attitude very much, for the world will give you a hard time, you will need a lot of strength and will only ever be able to receive it through living contact with God, with the world, which supports you in your striving upwards. And it will become increasingly more difficult for you to only direct your senses spiritually .... Therefore practice diligently beforehand, don't live a purely worldly life for a single day, again and again withdraw into silence, use every opportunity to send your thoughts upwards, and even if you only let a short call arise from your heart .... it will be heard, and the beings of light will not leave you alone if you request support from them .... Strive to secure God's presence for yourselves .... remain in love .... and trust in Him that He will straighten what is crooked, that He will heal those who are sick, and believe that He is stronger than everything you fear, that which threatens you .... Trust in Him and give yourselves to Him as your own .... And He will truly not leave you .... Begin and end each day with Him, and He will be your constant companion, He will lead you out of all trouble ....

Amen

Unusual need - unusual help ....

B.D. 6147 from December 28th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

An unusual adversity requires unusual help .... This is why much will still happen in the last days which seems strange and which will be recognized as spiritual activity by those who know that the end is near and who therefore also pay attention to all signs which announce the end to them. People will still experience many things they cannot explain scientifically but will find the explanation immediately if they look at everything in terms of spiritual development, if they consider people's spiritual low as well as the imminent end .... Then they will understand that God's love still tries everything to awaken people, to make them wonder so that they become aware of their responsibility .... Although only a few will be successful, God loves every single soul and will leave no stone unturned in order to still win them over for Himself. Yet whether God also works obviously, whether He also tries to bring Himself to mind through unusual phenomena .... people are difficult to impress because they have explanations for everything, even if they deviate far from the truth .... And what moves them today will have lost all appeal and interest tomorrow .... Human hearts are dulled and only earthly advantage or failure can still stimulate them to think and act, but everything spiritual is fantasy for them, unworthy of a thinking intellectual .... And so completely unnatural things could take place in the universe .... the most visible signs from above could be given to them .... they would only take note of everything, smile about it or try to explain it earthly-naturally, but otherwise not be impressed by it .... And even these rescue attempts will be in vain, the successes very small, and yet everything will still be done, and if it were only possible for one soul to escape eternal ruin and still find its way back to God before the end ....

Amen

Will determines the measure of grace ....

B.D. 6146 from December 27th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

It is not the measure of grace which determines the maturing of the soul but your will to utilize the graces. For no matter how abundant the blessings flow to you, if you are not willing to accept and utilize them they will be completely ineffective and your soul will not derive the slightest advantage from them. Thus your will determines the degree of maturity of your soul .... As you will it, such is the soul's lot after your death .... And your will is again influenced from two sides .... the world of light and also the dark world seek to win your will for themselves, and each holds before your eyes what it can offer you .... light and bliss in the spiritual kingdom and also earthly goods which are transient and therefore signify a dark sphere for the soul. And if you seriously thought about what you could achieve you would also be more careful before you decided. Everything that points you upwards is grace .... everything that is beneficial for your soul is grace .... but you determine whether grace becomes effective in you .... Again and again you humans are offered the opportunity to tread the path of ascent, and all these opportunities are blessings which God's great love bestows upon you .... And you can always achieve spiritual progress if you allow yourselves to be seized by grace, if you no longer offer any resistance .... then your soul will always desire more of what helps it to mature, and God's grace will flow towards it ever more abundantly .... But it is different with the unwilling souls who certainly need much help but remain unimpressed by divine gift of grace, who reject all help .... who always keep their eyes turned towards the world, attentively follow all lights there and don't feel the beneficent gentle light of divine grace. They receive the same amount of grace as the former, but they do not make use of it .... They leave it unnoticed and their soul remains in darkness, no strength is supplied to it which, however, every soul may receive abundantly if the human being's will allows it. That is why one can easily reach perfection while the other remains deep below .... although both had abundant graces at their disposal. They were used by one but left unnoticed by the other, and accordingly the soul also matures or it remains in the old state, in darkness. The will cannot be forced from God and thus also not by the luminous forces which take care of people on earth .... but nevertheless they try everything in their love to change the will so that it turns towards God, so that the human being gives up his resistance against God and now gratefully accepts from His hand what is a blessing for him .... Only the will needs to be good, then the ascent development is assured, then the human being is surrounded by so many good forces which seek to transfer their will to him, which is fully meant for God, and then the human being will accept every grace offered to him and utilize it according to divine will, and his soul will ascend and reach perfection ....

Amen

Increased hardships in the end time ....

B.D. 6781 from March 11th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

The short distance you still have to cover will still make many demands on you, on your strength as well as on your will, for since the time you humans still have on this earth is only short, the ascent is particularly steep and arduous, the obstacles are especially difficult to overcome, but the aim can still be reached because I am also unusually effective with My strength and grace and because you need only call upon Me for help, which will certainly be granted to you. You will all still experience how strongly you will be harassed by My adversary in the last days, for he only intends to ruin you with cunning and treachery, and he will use any means to achieve this. And thus he will also drive people into earthly hardship, through his accomplices he will harm all those who unwaveringly took the path which leads to Me. And wherever he can he will still increase the obstacles, always in the hope that people will shy away from them and choose a less arduous path which, however, leads away from the aim. The adversary influences people who are in bondage to him so that they act entirely in accordance with his will towards their fellow human beings, that they do everything to drive them into adversity, that they turn their senses back to matter from which they had already detached themselves .... My adversary also seeks to influence the thoughts of people he has chosen as victims. He confuses them and makes them temporarily unable to establish spiritual contact with Me .... He places himself between Me and you, and therefore you turn away .... by him you often turn to the path which seems easier for you. You all have to expect such temptations and you must be and remain very steadfast during this time. You must remember that I have already announced all this to you and that you can therefore also rely on My word, which assures you of My increased protection and supply of grace. A serious time of testing is still ahead of you all, for his activity is ever more furious, the poisonous breath he spreads wherever he fears to lose souls is ever more destructive .... Again and again I promise you My certain help but I cannot prevent My adversary from his activity in this last time because it concerns a battle between Me and him in which the human being's free will is decisive but not My might. That is why I allow him freedom, even though his shameful plans will still cause you all great hardship. But you need not succumb, you can defend yourselves at any time through your free will to belong to Me forever, and you can call upon Me for help at any time. Then you will have voluntarily placed yourselves under My protection, and you will also be allowed to experience it, for I will truly not leave any person to My adversary who wants to take the path to Me. Only rarely will a person be allowed to enjoy complete peace in the forthcoming time, unless he has completely fallen prey to My adversary. But anyone who is still to decide, who has already decided for Me, will constantly be pursued by My adversary's attacks. He will be earthly distressed, he will be pursued by misfortune and illness, he will be harmed by fellow human beings, he will constantly have to fight and also often start to doubt My love .... Yet this is precisely what My adversary wants to achieve, for as soon as he succeeds in displacing Me he will also have won. And I warn you of this, and again and again I assure you that you will also be guided through the greatest earthly adversity .... that you will overcome the most difficult obstacles .... if only you don't lose this faith in My love and might. These are the last trials on this earth, it is a time of adversity and tribulation but it is also the last short distance you still have to cover. And you can draw unmeasured strength from Me, you need only ever turn to Me and the flow of strength will overflow onto you. You need only confidently place everything that troubles you into My hands, and I will truly not leave you .... But you should not let him triumph, no matter how much hardship you are in. As long as your eyes are turned towards Me his attacks will be in vain, as long as you are in contact with Me you will push him away from you, and then you will continue to draw grace and strength from Me and you will emerge victorious from the battle against him ....

Amen

Assurance of God's help in time of need ....

B.D. 7371 from May 24th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

None of you need fear the end as well as the time of adversity which precedes the end, for it is entirely up to you how you attune yourselves to Me .... in order to then be allowed to experience help whenever you need it. It will be a difficult time for all people who go through earthly life without strength from Me. And these will be people who have no bond with Me, even if they are earthly well off and seemingly in possession of great physical strength. But as soon as they lack strength from Me the last time in particular will affect them particularly hard and almost overwhelm them, for earthly much vitality will be demanded of them in order to meet all requirements, and spiritually they will not take refuge in Me, the source of strength from eternity, where they truly could receive unlimited strength to accomplish their task in life. In contrast, the battle of life will be considerably easier for My own, who will certainly also be confronted by the same demands but due to their close bond with Me are also in possession of strength and everything will only seem half as difficult to them as it is felt by their unbelieving fellow human beings. But the time of adversity is irrevocably coming .... It also has to come for the sake of the few undecided ones, so that they will also find the path to Me. And to have found this very path means to also belong to My own when the time is fulfilled:... No matter whether the individual's earthly path comes to an end or the general end will follow .... anyone who belongs to My own need not fear anything, he will also be carried over the most difficult time, he will emerge victorious, and no matter how difficult the battles seem which the adversary and his vassals will wage against people .... or also: which the antichrist will wage against the believers in order to wrest them from Me before the end. But anyone who has once drawn strength from Me will turn to Me again and again for the supply of strength, and he will never be left without strength either, for he belongs to My own whom I truly help in the days of adversity, in the last days before the end. And then every thought of Me will already provide you with strength, for I will no longer let My own be snatched from My hand, I will watch over them and lead them through the last battle to victory Myself, as I have promised: "He who endures until the end shall be blessed ...." Only ever rely on My word, on My promises, which always mean help for you in every earthly and spiritual adversity. I will not abandon My own, and anyone who has already entered into a bond with Me, who calls upon Me because earthly or spiritual hardship frightens him, can count himself among My own .... I will not leave him without help and therefore he need not fear the coming time, I will always walk by his side and guide him through all adversity ....

Amen

Notice of the time of tribulation .... Power of the word ....

B.D. 7979 from August 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

A time will come when you will understand why I take such unusual care of you that I speak to you directly, even though your spiritual state has not yet reached the maturity which could justify a direct address. You will experience unusual adversity, My adversary will press you unusually and you will have to accept unusual strength in order to be able to withstand .... And you will be able to draw this strength from My word .... And then the visible influx of My strength will be a strengthening for you, because your faith will also become ever more alive when you experience the evidence of My presence through My word. Time is pressing, and therefore you will also be able to notice an increasing adversity caused by strokes of fate and disasters of all kinds, and people will desperately ask themselves where all this is supposed to lead .... And then you, who hear Me Myself, will be able to convey My word to them, and it will also be accepted by those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary .... And then you will know why I address you in such an unusual way, for then you will recognize the truth of all this, and you will also recognize My love for you humans who will only stay on earth for a short time and shall pass their test .... The world still stands between you and Me, your eyes are still turned towards the world and it is difficult for you to change and turn towards Me .... But you will very soon be able to recognize the worthlessness and impermanence of this world, you will very soon be startled out of your rest and suddenly stand before an approaching disaster .... And you will look for a way out, and blessed is he who finds the way out in Me Myself, blessed is he who turns to Me, entrusts himself to Me and now no longer walks alone .... For he will be guided through, often in the most wonderful way, because there is only one Who can help in every situation in life, and because this one only needs to be called upon in order to also be able to prove Himself in a helping way. And this will be his greatest gain, that he has found Me Myself, for then nothing will need to frighten him anymore, he will know that he is safe in My fatherly arms, and these will also spread to all who turn their thoughts to Me in every adversity. Once you have recognized that a father addresses you, you will also press towards the father, and only My word can grant you this realization. My word alone will strengthen your faith in a God and creator Who wants to be your father and to Whom you only need to give your love in order to be eternally saved .... For your earthly life will pass, but for the sake of earthly existence alone you did not enter embodiment as a human being .... Your soul shall only pass through and prove itself before it enters the kingdom which is its true home .... And if you know this, you will also strive to enter this home in the highest degree of maturity .... And therefore I address you again and again because the time is coming to an end which is set for the earth and all its creations .... Time is hastening and you must make increased efforts in order to still complete yourselves; but you can also do this, for My gift of grace .... My word from above .... is such an unusual aid, it has such an unusual effect of strength, that you can perfect yourselves in a short time if only you let its strength flow into your heart .... if you read My word attentively and now also live accordingly .... if only you make an effort to fulfil My will, if you believe in Me and give Me your love .... Then you truly need not fear an end, no matter when it may come .... For then you will give yourselves to Me, and truly, My love and might will protect you, and you need not fear death, for you will live forever, as I have promised you ....

Amen

Time of tribulation .... God's protection ....

B.D. 7995 from September 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I grant all spiritual requests, and thus I will address My own as soon as they desire My address. And I will tell them what they need to know. I will inform them of all questions concerning the spiritual realm but I will also inform them that they are approaching a difficult time where they will need much strength to get through this time. But I will also distribute unlimited strength to anyone who desires it and unites with Me so that My strength can flow into him. You humans are all weak and would fail very quickly without My support. But I know the will of every individual, and I know where it is directed. I know who strives towards Me and who seeks the world and follows its temptations. And I let Myself be reached and found by everyone who earnestly seeks Me. You can be certain that even a single thought of Me is enough which you turn to Me out of your heart. I will never close Myself off where I recognize this devotion to Me .... I am always willing to give, I only ever want to hand out in order to make you happy. For I love you, My children, and I want you to feel My love. Therefore you need not fear that I will turn away from you if you desire Me. Your desire alone determines Me to respond, and I will always fulfil your desire, but especially when you address spiritual requests to Me which also prove your love for Me. And I will distribute it to you, you may receive unlimited strength and it will benefit you when you are in adversity and then also need strength in order to be able to offer resistance .... And you are facing such adversity, for world events are turning and a time of tribulation is approaching which requires great strength from you. Yet you, who are Mine, who unite with Me again and again in prayer, in thought or in loving activity, will visibly be protected by My fatherly love and receive strength from Me, and you will not experience earthly suffering so severely because you know yourselves to be safe in My care; you will only ever desire My word and it will sound to you .... And because it is blessed with My strength you will also overcome all opposition, you will feel My presence and trustingly expect My protection and My help. Much spiritual help is granted to you humans, you just have to accept it. You only ever have to want your God and father to take care of you, and then you will also be well protected, for My spiritual servants and messengers of light are always ready and waiting for My instructions, and your will alone is decisive for their enlightened assistance. Worldly people will try to master all adversity with their own strength but they will not be successful, for everything I recognize as being detrimental to every individual soul will be destroyed; My own, however, only turn to Me and they will receive what they need, for I truly also preserve the earthly life of anyone who entrusts himself to Me, yet always in a way I recognize as beneficial for his soul. But if I assure you of My protection and support you can also approach the difficult time carefree; you can feel connected to Me and the spiritual kingdom from where help will always reach you, even if earthly help no longer seems possible. Yet everything is possible for Me, My love is endless and My power unlimited .... Thus I can truly also command the elements if they threaten you .... I can let unusual things happen if My children trust in Me and ask Me for My help. But you should never doubt My love, and you should only ever request My love, for love is strength, and with My strength you are able to overcome everything that comes upon you .... For then you will also let Me Myself be present in you and you will no longer need to fear anything ....

Amen

Exceptional help at the time of misery ....

B.D. 8202 from June 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Even the worst misery in the coming time should not alarm you, for to the same extent as My adversary works during the last days before the end, when his raging will be plainly recognisable, I will let My flow of grace pour into you, so that you will certainly be capable of resisting him .... And the closer it gets to the end the more distinctly you will also perceive My reign and activity .... I have to manifest Myself in an exceptional way in order that you will not despair and fall prey to him. For he will not shy away from using cunning and trickery, he will develop extraordinary power and you will need much strength in order to resist him .... I will truly not leave you without help during this time of need and I will also be perceptible to you, time and again you will hear about remarkable help people receive who faithfully call upon Me, you will experience instances yourselves which demonstrate My love for you and reinforce your faith .... For I will reveal Myself in extraordinary ways to you providing you don't relinquish the bond with Me but trustingly rely on Me that I will lead you out of all the misery in the last days .... And you may also be permitted to witness My personal appearance where your love will allow for it .... And I will appear to you in your dreams and bestow comfort and strength upon you .... You only need to spend sincere thoughts on Me and in prayer establish the relationship of a child with its Father .... Then you may truly experience Me as a loving Father, for I don't want to lose any one of you who already belongs to Me due to his will, who desires to become blessed and to be one of My Own.

However, you will certainly need this extraordinary help, for the time which is still at My adversary's disposal is running out, and since he is aware of it, he will still rant and rave and try to pull you down by oppressing you in every conceivable way. But I, too, will influence you remarkably and protect you from his onslaughts, since I know that your will applies to Me which therefore gives Me the right to avert him from you. And even My vineyard labourers will want to work more diligently still because My adversary's activity will be so obvious to them that they will thereby recognise which hour has struck on the world's clock. Therefore they will also know that the end is imminent and that his activity will come to an end, that he will be placed in chains for a long time again. But it requires an exceptional flow of strength, for you will be too weak on your own, given that My adversary will go to any length in order to plunge you into ruin, and were I not to confront him with My power and My light he would certainly succeed .... Even so, you should fearlessly approach this time, you will survive it and remain victorious, because I Myself will walk next to you and fight on your side against your souls' enemy. And thus I promise you, who want to belong to Me, My every assistance; I will always be present to you and a mere thought will call Me to you, for love unites Me with you, who once came forth from My love, and this love will not let go of you and protect you in all adversity and danger .... Therefore it will manifest itself remarkably when the time of immense misery befalls the earth because the end has come ....

Amen

Gathering strength ahead of the chaos ....

B.D. 8549 from July 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Keep drawing strength from My Word for you will need this fortification in the forthcoming time and should gather strength now, since you will be unable to collect your thoughts in prayer when My long-announced intervention takes place .... Whatever is decided by My wisdom and love will also be implemented, and every prediction which I sent to you so that the event will not take you unawares without warning will be fulfilled ....

You shall always remember it and try to set your heart free from all earthly longings .... You shall try to let go of matter, for one day you will have to give it up, and the less your heart clings to it the easier will be your loss, the less you will be burdened by My intervention .... Again and again I tell you to prepare yourselves for this period of unprecedented chaos when only your heartfelt bond with Me will give you the support to do justice to all demands. For anyone not directly affected by the disaster by losing his life will then have to lead a difficult existence, because there will be no ordered living conditions and you will be burdened by earthly adversities which you will be unable to handle on your own, without My help.

Time and again you shall accept My Word in your hearts and draw strength from it, you shall gain such strong faith from My direct Word that nothing will be able to unsettle you in the forthcoming time, so that you will completely rely on Me and only ever wait for My help .... And believe that I will help you .... that just the heartfelt bond has to be established with Me which, however, can only be achieved by a person who is completely dedicated to Me and who will merely recognise the fulfilment of My predictions in the huge disaster and thus will even more devotedly wait for My help, which indeed will be granted to him. Then I will carry out the seemingly impossible on those who place their complete trust in Me.

And every human being should get used to the idea that the orderliness surrounding him will not continue, he shall believe that the earth will be affected by an unimaginably huge tremor, and that countless people will fall victim to a natural disaster .... the survivors, however, will experience extremely difficult living condition which require much strength and confidence in My help in order to cope with them. Then it will become evident where neighbourly love is being practised, for only there will My help be evident as well .... And anyone who is just anxiously concerned about himself and his well-being will also have to labour by himself and yet be unable to master his situation .... For you humans must learn that love is strength and that you will be able to achieve much if your actions are motivated by neighbourly love.

Time and again I refer to the time when great chaos will befall you caused by a huge natural disaster .... because I still want to give you humans a last sign of the Power Which is in charge of you .... But you, who receive My Word directly or given to you through My messengers, you shall constantly listen to My admonition, engross yourselves as often as possible in My Word and your strength will grow, even at times of extreme adversity you will not lose the connection with Me and then you will also always be certain of My help, for I manifestly want to help My Own to strengthen their faith as well as that of their fellow human beings so that they will establish and never again abandon the living bond with Me.

And don't count on being spared, don't believe that other, distant regions will be affected .... This disaster will be far-reaching and involve a large area, even though it will not affect the whole earth .... Consequently, the immense adversity will not pass anywhere without a trace, which you will only understand after the occurrence has happened, when My voice resounds in the world and you realise the dreadful effects .... the full extent of which will take a long time again to be assessed.

As yet you are still living in peace and are unable to imagine such chaos .... But I draw your attention to the fact that everything will come to pass what was announced in advance, I only want to influence you insofar as that you should do everything that will give you the strength to endure .... For I will not abandon you, who have submitted yourselves to Me and want to belong to Me .... And I will always provide you with strength .... Let Me talk to you time and again and draw strength from My Word and truly, you will be able to find Me even in utter suffering, and I will always be ready to help, I will always stand by your side and through you also bring help to those whom you lovingly try to take care of ....

Amen
