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.

God reveals Himself .... promises ....

B.D. 3326 from November 11th 1944, taken from Book No. 43

My will is made known to you who devote yourselves to Me and want to serve Me .... For I Myself speak to you now and always, as I have always spoken to people who, through the working of love, made themselves able to hear My voice. I was amongst them in the word and will always dwell with people in the word until the end of the world. For I have promised My own that I will reveal Myself to them if they love Me and keep My commandments .... that I will guide them into truth and that they shall receive My spirit .... But My spirit is My word, My spirit is Me Myself, and thus I Myself am with those who love Me and keep My commandments, and therefore they can also hear My word directly from Me, for I reveal Myself through the inner voice and make My will known to them. And thus My disciples heard My voice, I was with them in the word after My act of salvation had been accomplished; they heard Me even though I was not physically present amongst them, and they recorded the word because this was My will. In all purity they reproduced what they had heard through the inner voice, for My word resounded in them clearly and distinctly so that they always and constantly knew about My will. And they conveyed this word to humanity so that My will would be proclaimed to all, so that they could comply with this will and thus become blissfully happy. But time has not preserved this word of Mine pure and unaltered, not everything is My word which is conveyed to people as such. It has been changed by additional human work, which can only be separated from the pure truth, from the word conveyed by Me to earth, by those who are able to hear the word again themselves through loving activity and the will to serve Me. My word will never be able to pass away, pure truth will always exist, it will remain until all eternity .... but the work of man does not last .... What therefore falls prey to human will of destruction, what becomes powerless and ineffective due to decrees and commandments, that is human accessory; for what is from Me is everlasting and will outlast everything. But I strive for a purification of that which is offered to people as My word and no longer fully corresponds to the word which is from Me, which My disciples have received from Me .... And therefore I direct the word to earth again, I reveal Myself anew and choose My disciples again whom I guide through My spirit into all truth. For I will always be amongst people in the word and hand them the bread of heaven, and especially when they are starving and lack spiritual food, food which shall revive their soul .... Then I open the spring from which the living water flows; I feed and water people by offering them the nourishment from the heavens .... My word .... My flesh and My blood .... Who wants to stop Me from doing this? .... Who wants to accept My divine working of the spirit as finished with the word that was commanded to My disciples? I remain with you until the end of the world .... this is My promise .... Why should I not speak to My own if their heart desires it? And you humans need My word which shall repeatedly make My will known to you. For the word has lost its strength if it is no longer purely offered to people, just as My disciples once heard it from Me .... But you humans need the strength which flows from My word, and thus I will give you the pure truth again, I will descend to earth once more in the word and will resound wherever people who are willing and able to love offer themselves to Me for My service and listen within in order to hear My word. And you should listen to them, for they convey the purest truth to you, they inform you of My will and initiate you into knowledge which only I Myself can convey to earth through My word .... And therefore believe that I speak to people again and again and am with them in the word ....

Amen

God's presence in the Word

God is the Word .... God's presence .... Different conveyance of the Word ....

B.D. 3596 from November 7th 1945, taken from Book No. 46

And thus I Am in the midst of you in the Word as I have promised. I won't leave you on your own and you shall also feel My presence, and so I draw near to you in the Word, for I Myself Am the Word and anyone who has My Word can also speak of My presence and feel protected near to Me. I Myself Am a Spirit Which is not bound to any material form but is strength and light to the highest degree and Which, due to Its will and Its thinking ability, has to be addressed as a Being, Which takes effect with love and wisdom and therefore emanates love and wisdom into eternity. And My love expresses the strength and the light in a form which you humans can become aware of, as you are not yet mature enough in order to receive strength and light in its fundamental substance .... And this expression is My Word, which I convey to you so that you shall gain maturity .... A Spirit which is light and strength in itself can in fact only be present in the form of light and strength, and thus My Word, the emanation of Myself, has to incorporate light and strength within itself, and this characterises My closeness. And therefore I gave you the promise that I will stay with you until the end of the world .... by the fact that My spirit is always with you who want to receive light and strength .... by the fact that My directly emanated Word is constantly conveyed to you in order to make My presence known to you. I Am with you .... and even if I don't visibly dwell among you, you nevertheless have the evidence of My presence in your hands if you recognise Me in the Word. For I Myself Am the Word .... and you will constantly receive it as soon as you desire Me and My being close to you.

Thus anyone who recognises Me in the Word will also be profoundly happy that I Am close to him, and all doubt, all fear and all worry will leave him because he knows that the One is beside him Who will helpfully support him in every adversity of body and soul. Consequently, My will grants strength and grace, for anyone desiring My Word will open the door to his heart through which I can enter in order to take abode in it. And I will never ever leave him again once his will applies to Me and he has recognised Me in the Word.

For the Word is the medium through which I express Myself, through which the most perfect Spirit of eternity reveals Himself to the imperfect beings in order to lead them to perfection .... I Am close to you .... So why do you who have My Word, who receive it directly or through the mouth of the recipient, still hesitate and worry .... I Am with all of you, because your desire for My Word demonstrates your love for Me .... And remember that only the flow of My Word to you gives you the certain proof that I Myself Am with you. Anyone who does not desire to hear Me does not desire My presence, his heart does not strive towards Me, for it would long for the expression of My love, for proof of My presence. Admittedly, the desire for My Word can certainly vary .... the human being can want to be comforted and strengthened through spiritual consolation, he can want to enrich his knowledge of spiritual spheres, he can also think of Me with gratitude and therefore want to express it by desiring My presence, he can want to remain with Me in intimate dialogue and accept My Word in his thoughts .... yet he must always be spiritually minded, then I will also let Myself be found and his call will draw Me to himself, and I will reveal Myself through My Word, since otherwise the human being would be unable to endure My presence. And likewise My Word will be conveyed to him in different ways .... through the direct working of the spirit within him so that he will be able to hear My Word himself .... through receiving it from a direct recipient who proclaims My Word on My instructions, or by way of mental transmission of knowledge from the spiritual kingdom .... through reading the Word I convey to earth .... through spiritual conversations with fellow human beings .... I will always look after a heart which desires Me, I will always be with those who want to hear Me, for I Myself Am the Word, and thus I Myself dwell amongst people if they listen to My Word with the sincere will to let Me speak to them. Then I will offer them the bread of heaven, My flesh and My blood .... And if they thus eat and drink Me Myself they have to be most intimately united with Me .... if they accept My Word in profound faith that I Am the Word Itself they will accept Me in their hearts and I will constantly please them with My presence .... For I gave you the promise that I will stay with you until the end of the world, and every Word of My promise will come true, because My Word is and will remain the truth for all eternity ....

Amen

God speaks again and again ....

B.D. 5001 from November 18th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

O you fools who believe you can determine the love of your God .... you blind in spirit who have not yet recognized Me, who have not yet felt My presence and who therefore cannot understand that I make Myself known to those who desire My word. You fools who do not know that I am the eternal word Myself and therefore have to speak when I am present to you and want to prove My presence to you. You certainly repeat what I once said when I lived on earth, yet as long as I Myself am not present to you they are only dead letters which you spread and which only come alive when you perceive them as signs of My presence, because then you will hear Me speak Myself, Who reveals Myself to you through the spirit. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God .... (and God is the word). I Myself am My word, and My spirit is in every word which testifies of Me. I speak to people in every place and at every time as soon as the human being opens his ear to Me, as soon as he desires to hear Me and listens for the expression of My love. And this love will never become exhausted, just as therefore My word can never cease to resound in the hearts of people who love Me. Therefore, anyone who believes that I only once made Myself known to the disciples, anyone who believes that I will now remain silent and will never again be in such close contact with people that they will be able to hear Me, is living in a great error which is very detrimental to himself, because he will never be able to hear My voice if he does not believe that I reveal Myself, that My love wants to express itself to you humans and give you a sign that I am present to you. Because I am an essential deity I must also be able to testify to My nature and thus speak to you humans. You, too, can only recognize another being if it can express its thoughts, intentions and feelings, otherwise it will remain dead and unrecognized by you. And since I want you humans to learn to recognize Me, I must speak to you.

(18.11.1950) What father who loves his children would remain silent if he knew they were in need? .... What father would make a vow to speak to his children only once and then remain silent forever? You humans do not know your father in heaven if you imagine Him to be a ruthless being with principles which lack all love. Just as a hen coaxes her chicks to protect them from danger, so I am always and constantly a caller and admonisher and how else but through My word, which testifies to Me Myself and My love and care for you? .... O you fools who believe that My love would diminish, that it could ever be spent .... that I, the word from eternity, could once be silent because I have already spoken to you once .... Consider how weak your faith is and how you measure Me with earthly yardsticks, how you attach to Me the weaknesses and shortcomings of an earthly person whose love is limited because he is still imperfect. My word will always resound and every person will be able to hear it who shapes himself according to My will, who prepares his heart to be a dwelling place where his lord can take up residence .... And if He is with him, if He is present to him, He will also express Himself and speak words of love and wisdom to him, as I have promised. And never ever shall you doubt it, otherwise My word spoken on earth would also be invalidated, which proclaimed My spirit to you until the end of time: "I will remain with you until the end of the world ...." "My Spirit will guide you into truth ...." And if you have a deep, living faith you will not regard Me as a distant God but as an over-good, loving father Who always wants to be and remain united with you and Whom you can then also hear, Who always speaks to you if you desire to hear Him ....

Amen

God's Word will be heard eternally ....

B.D. 8522 from July 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I have promised to stay with you until the end of the world .... And My Word will be heard by you, My living creation, as a sign of My presence .... The connection between your God and Creator of eternity and you, His beings having emerged from Him, will remain forever .... My love for you will eternally express Itself by speaking to you, because since the beginning It found greatest pleasure in being able to be in touch with Its living creations through the Word, and because the happiness of all beings will also eternally consist of constantly receiving My strength of love, and this transmission of strength is expressing Itself through My directly imparted Word. I reveal Myself through the Word .... I transfer My thoughts onto you and find My happiness by stimulating you to respond in kind, so that the dialogue between Father and child can take place, which in itself provides supreme beatitude ....

The more perfect the being is, the more clearly it can hear My voice within its heart .... which has to be spiritually understood insofar as that the being is moving within brightest realisation, within the same will and the same thoughts as Mine, with Whom it is intimately united due to its perfection. Yet even a being with a lesser degree of maturity can still hear Me if, in awareness of itself, it establishes contact with Me .... Nevertheless, the degree of happiness will be higher or lower respectively, for once it is united with Me again .... the being will have come alive .... the state of death will have been overcome, which alone excludes the hearing of My Word .... But only very few people know that their God and Creator would like to speak to them and that they could indeed hear Him if they lived a way of life in accordance with His will. Only few people experience the happiness of a direct communication and enter into a heartfelt relationship with Him .... And if fellow human beings are given the knowledge of it they find it incredible and only laugh at those who tell them so ....

Yet 'Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Word shall not pass away ....' And this promise of Mine, too, is usually interpreted differently in as much as you believe that the 'written Word' will be preserved unchanged .... Yet even for this it is necessary that My Word be repeatedly conveyed to earth because human will does not retain anything unaltered and the purity of the once spoken Word will not remain guaranteed .... But this promise of Mine has an even more profound significance still .... 'My Word shall not pass away ....' My Word will always and forever be heard by the spiritually tangible beings, My Word will always and forever give evidence of the bond of all created beings with Me, My living creations may always and forever be able to hear Me, for their happiness rests in the fact that they will be spoken to by Me directly, that they will always know of My will and harbour the same will within themselves, that they may associate with their God and Creator like children with their Father .... that profound realisation, supreme wisdom and truthful knowledge will permeate them and make them infinitely happy ....

And all this is only the result of the dialogue with Me through the Word .... If My Word could not be heard within all spiritual beings there could not be true life either, for only My Word is the life, the strength and also the happiness, or I would forever be a distant, inaccessible God for My living creations, with Whom there would be no reason to make contact and no effect could be recognised either .... 'I will be with you until the end ....' You will not be without Me and My presence anymore .... unless you still belong to My adversary into whose domain I will not intrude, instead you have to turn to Me voluntarily. But as soon as you have separated yourselves from him and seriously strive towards Me, My Word will also be heard within you, albeit very quietly at first as the voice of conscience .... yet you will be able to hear it increasingly more distinctly if only you hand yourselves over to Me so that you are inwardly urged to speak to Me in thought .... Then you will also receive an answer, only that you will not recognise it as such at first but regard it as your own thoughts .... However, the more you withdraw from the world and look for Me, the louder My voice will sound in you, and the belief in My speaking to you can also enable you to consciously expect it ....

And you will hear Me .... It entirely depends on your soul's degree of maturity, it entirely depends on your degree of love, how you will hear Me and My Word .... And since you, as belonging to Me, are constantly ascending, My Word will not exclude you either .... I will be and remain with you and always and forever speak to you .... and you will become increasingly happier as a result of the constant dialogue with Me through My Word ....

Amen

Presence of God in the Spirit

Hearing the word only after the death on the cross ....

B.D. 6195 from February 22nd 1955, taken from Book No. 67

The hearing of My word in you is an expression of My spirit working in you as soon as you fulfil the condition: that you shape your heart to love .... I have promised you to send My spirit who will introduce you to all truth .... As long as I Myself walked on earth My spirit worked on and in you (in the human being) if I so willed .... but alone, without My intervention, people would not yet have been able to hear My voice, for at that time humanity was so completely under the spell of My adversary that he did not allow it, for people had not yet been redeemed .... Nevertheless, I spoke through the mouth of the prophets always and constantly before the time of My descent. It was then that these prophets were driven by My spirit .... I used their mouths to express Myself through them, to speak to the people who turned away from Me .... and these prophets had to speak as My will commanded them .... The original state of hearing My voice directly had been lost to people long before My descent .... It was only ever individuals whose hearts belonged to Me and who, as souls from above, were meant to be guiding stars for their fellow human beings who stood at the greatest distance from Me. For satan still had unbroken power over all people which he first used to push people away from Me. And I first had to break this power through My death on the cross .... I had to redeem people, I had to establish the connection between the kingdom of light and people so that the path to Me became free for those who seriously wanted it .... Through My death people were born into new life .... people who voluntarily strived for this rebirth through a way of life in love were born .... according to My way of life on earth .... now filled with My spirit .... My spirit was able to work in them, thus I Myself was present to people, and thus they were now also able to hear My voice .... I could address them Myself .... not only make use of them to speak to humanity .... I could provide each one with food for his soul .... I could give them Myself as food, I Who am the word from eternity .... Yet this was only possible through My act of salvation, otherwise people would not have been able to attain the rebirth of the soul, otherwise they would not have been able to exchange the kingdom of darkness for the kingdom of light. I said to My disciples that I would send them My spirit .... I certainly instructed them in the process of hearing My voice within themselves .... yet they were still unable to fully understand what I was saying to them, because they, too, were still in My adversary's bondage which I only loosened through My crucifixion. Then I sent them My spirit, which visibly happened to these disciples of Mine. But all people can experience the outpouring of My spirit in themselves, even if not in that obvious form .... Through their will they can put themselves into a state in which they are in contact with Me .... They can be reborn through a life of love according to My example .... and now the father can speak to His child and the child will hear Him .... The father can now give His child the right food it needs to mature in order to become what its aim is on earth .... a being full of strength and light which has once again entered the original state in which it was once created .... This address, My word, is the sign of the working of the spirit in the human being .... it is the outpouring of the spirit which made My work of redemption possible in the first place. The human being has to voluntarily unite with Me through love, only then will he have accomplished his rebirth and only then will I be able to give him the bread of heaven .... My word .... administer to him. And the fact that he is able to do so is why I died on the cross and acquired the grace of a strengthened will for him, for previously My adversary kept him bound and prevented him from this intimate connection with Me, which necessitates the hearing of My word. But the people who were previously worthy of hearing My voice thereby fulfilled an assignment for the purpose of which their souls were embodied on earth .... It was always only individual people who had to fulfil a mission: to point to My descent and to lead people to faith .... But after My crucifixion it was (is) possible for all people to hear Me who only seriously wanted (want) to, who keep My commandments and thus fulfilled (can fulfil) the conditions under which I could (can) reveal Myself .... In faith in Jesus as God's son and redeemer of the world, in Whom I was able to embody Myself, the human being also receives the strength to fulfil My will. He can now, without being hindered by My adversary, take the path of love and shape himself into a receptacle of My spirit, which was previously only possible for a few .... but these few were still burdened with the guilt of sin and therefore the path to Me was not yet open for them either .... Thus the love which established the bond between people and Me had almost completely grown cold due to My adversary's influence and therefore people were also extremely distant from Me .... Through the man Jesus this distance was reduced .... He was completely united with Me, and He suffered and died for people in order to redeem the separating guilt, so that people could now also come to Me unhindered and then also hear the father's voice. The original state was to be restored, which presupposes a degree of perfection .... But this degree of perfection could only be achieved after the redemption of the great original sin of turning away from Me .... Therefore I died for you on the cross because this guilt could not be redeemed otherwise. And now every human being can reach the degree which makes him able to hear My voice .... every person can shape himself into a receptacle of My spirit, I can now pour My spirit into every person who lives a life according to My will and keeps My commandments .... To him I can reveal Myself as I have promised ....

Jesus' promise of the spirit ....

B.D. 7037 from February 8th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

I promised you My Spirit when I walked on earth .... But only after My death on the cross was this spirit able to express itself in you, because it .... as My portion .... could not break through where the sin of the former rebellion against Me, the great original sin, had not yet been redeemed .... which only became possible through the act of salvation. And therefore My spirit can only express itself where redemption from sin has preceded it, which is why the revival of the spirit is only ever the result of redemption through Jesus Christ .... A revival of faith in Him can certainly take place which only then results in redemption from sin, but the revival of the spirit is now also possible out of this revival:... so that 'gifts of the spirit' become evident in various ways. And you humans should strive for these as soon as you believe in Jesus Christ, in My human manifestation and My crucifixion. Then you should also remember My words with which I promised you My spirit, you should remember that "I Myself will dwell with you until the end of the world ...." I was only able to dwell amongst you for a short time in the form of the man Jesus, Who sheltered Me in all fullness within Himself, but I also want to always be present to those who desire Me, who love Me and want to live to please Me .... And I want to dwell with them in spirit, My strength shall flow through them so that they will also be able to accomplish unusual things. Wherever I am present I will also express Myself, I will introduce the human being to truthful knowledge, I will give him the strength to work for the benefit of his fellow human being, spiritually or earthly, I will reveal the future to him if it serves the salvation of people's souls, I will give him the strength to heal the sick in My name .... and I will thus always prove My presence, as I have promised .... I will be with those in spirit who love Me and keep My commandments. But I will not be able to work through My spirit where redemption through Jesus Christ has not preceded. For My spirit does not forcibly break through, and where it encounters resistance it remains silent. But blessed are those who allow it to break through, who give in to its quiet urging to practice love, who take the path to Jesus Christ and completely surrender to Him .... Then they will also experience the truth of My promise that I Myself will take possession of them, that I will remain with them and endow them with gifts of the spirit. For where I am I also want to give Myself away .... And My gift to the light- and strengthless human being will always consist of the supply of light and strength. I will impart the same to them again which I bestowed on My disciples on earth: unusual knowledge and unusual strength, so that they, too, could accomplish what was impossible for them as mere human beings .... But I could only pour out My spirit on My disciples who had willingly followed Me and whose way of life allowed My crucifixion to bring them complete redemption from My adversary, from their original sin and thus also from their state of weakness and darkness. My spirit enlightened them, My spirit gave them strength in abundance, for it was I Myself Who dwelt amongst them, Who spoke through them and performed the miracles through them when they went out into the world in My name to proclaim the gospel .... I was with them as in My time on earth, and I was able to be with them because they only belonged to Me and thus could also now work through the power of the spirit as I had promised .... And thus I will also always be with those who, through their conduct, enable Me to be present in them, and I will prove My presence through unusual activity, through the supply of light and strength .... And they will likewise proclaim, like My first disciples, the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... They will proclaim His name in the world and likewise want to help their fellow human beings to salvation because they themselves are enlightened by My spirit and because My spirit impels them to speak for Me and My kingdom and to confirm the truth of their speeches through gifts of the spirit, through obvious evidence of My presence ....

'I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world ....'

B.D. 7681 from August 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

'I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth ....' Every one of you has the inherent ability to hear the voice of My spirit, for a part of Myself, a spiritual spark of My divine spirit of love, rests within yourselves and will always be able to make contact with Me, through it My Word will radiate into you, for this spiritual spark is an emanation of Myself which will strike you effectively if you are prepared for it. As long as you stay isolated from Me this spiritual spark will remain silent .... If you unite with Me, then the spiritual spark will be in contact with Me too and can impart to you the light and strength which comes forth from Me; it will be able to convey to you the pure truth from Me and by receiving this truth enable you to gain realisation and thus step out of the darkness of night into the light of day. I Myself promised you when I lived on earth that I would not leave you by yourselves anymore .... that I will always be with you until the end of the world .... I pointed out the working of My spirit in you, which will guide you into truth .... but which would only become possible after My crucifixion, because prior to it the soul was still burdened by the original sin which made it impossible for a bond between the human being and Me to become so intimate that he would hear My voice within himself. First redemption through Jesus Christ had to take place, which reversed the separation from Me .... The human being had to completely consciously acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ .... thus he deliberately had to have taken the path of return to Me, which then also resulted in the emanations of My strength of love, which assured that he would hear My Word if he wanted to, if he therefore consciously opened himself and thus activated the spiritual spark in him to unite itself with the eternal Father's spirit. For it only requires an earnest will to enter into My will, it requires the acknowledgment of Me Myself Whom the being once refused to acknowledge, and it requires a life of love for My spirit to express itself as I promised.

Physically I was unable to remain with you humans but I gave you the consolation of sending you My spirit and thus of always staying with you until the end of the world. And this promise has to be taken seriously, you can always be and remain aware of My presence, you need only have the will for Me to be present with you and to establish a bond with Me in thought, in prayer or in kind-hearted activity .... In that case you will always be able to hear Me, for I Myself Am in you, and the spiritual spark will never lose contact with the eternal Father spirit .... it is merely unable to express itself if the human being is not receptive of his own free will, if he does not carefully listen in order to hear what My spirit imparts to him through the spiritual spark. And thus it is always up to the human being himself to ignite the spark in him, to provide it with the opportunity of expressing itself by appealing to Me Myself such that I might be present with him and teach him and guide him into truth according to My promise .... And I will truly stand by his side as a comforter; I will guide him into truth and will give evidence of Myself through My Word .... I will be 'with him always, even unto the end of the world ....'

Amen

Prerequisite for the 'outpouring of the spirit' ....

B.D. 7822 from February 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The outpouring of the spirit requires certain conditions to be fulfilled, because My spirit can only pour into an open receptacle which has been prepared such that My spirit will be able to flow into it. This preparation, in turn, requires psychological work which the person must have carried out on himself, with other words: The human being must have prepared an abode for Me, because My presence is absolutely necessary in order to be able to express Myself through My spirit. Although the spiritual spark rests dormant in every person it must first be awakened to life, the relationship with the eternal Father-Spirit must be established first, before it can express itself. And this bond will be established, the spiritual spark will come alive, when the human being lives a life of love, when he, through loving actions, draws Me Myself to himself, Who is Love Itself .... Through love, the human being has to purify his soul from all layers which cannot be penetrated by light, then he prepares himself, he shapes himself into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit, he fulfils the conditions which result in an outpouring of the spirit. And he must believe that My spirit flows into him, that the Father wants and is able to speak to His child .... And again, he will only believe this if he shapes himself into love .... for only when he believes in a working of My spirit within himself will he also attentively listen within to what this spirit communicates to him. As long as this belief is missing, he will never be able to speak of a 'gift of the spirit', he will simply not awaken the dormant forces within him and, thus, they will not be able to express themselves either, although they are present in him. Love will, however, soon enlighten his thinking, this is why a loving person will also soon be able to believe if his striving is spiritually-orientated, and he tries to live in accordance with My will.

Yet My spirit will not push itself to the fore .... no human being will ever hear the voice of My spirit who has not consciously established a bond with Me in order to hear Me .... For it requires him to listen inwards if he wants to hear Me and receive instructions full of wisdom, which only My spirit can impart to him. And precisely this belief in the working of My spirit has been lost by people so that they look at a completely natural process, which was only intended to demonstrate My great love for people, with utter incredulity, even though I Myself gave them a promise to stay with people and to guide them into all truth .... They don't understand this promise or they would believe in it and grant greater significance to My Word which sounds to them from above or is passed on to them through My messengers .... My spirit merely requires a prepared vessel so that it can pour into it .... Then, however, He will also give evidence of Himself, It will speak to you like a Father speaks to His children, and He will enlighten you whenever you desire to be taught by Him. But He cannot express Himself where love and faith are missing, where the human being has not carried out the work of improving his soul by shaping himself into love and having already discarded all impurities of his soul. For I can only take abode in a pure heart full of love which can bear My presence .... However, wherever these prerequisites are present that is where I dwell and testify to My presence .... I pour out My spirit over all flesh .... I teach and comfort, I guide people into truth, I remain with them until the end of the world ....

Amen

Apartment acceptance of God in the heart

God speaks to man through the heart ....

B.D. 4736 from September 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

Whatever your heart tells you to do, that you should do, for I speak to you through the heart, providing you want to hear My voice. Thus you can let your heart speak or your intellect, i.e. you can pay attention to your feelings or also let reason prevail, thus strive for some advantage through your actions, whereas the heart does not achieve this advantage. But if you want Me to advise you by first asking Me for instruction, then you need only pay attention to your feelings and what you do now will truly be right. Then your heart is merely the mediator of My will and you can follow its voice. Thus you will also be instructed according to your feelings, i.e. you will instinctively reject what is wrong and accept what corresponds to the truth. And this also explains why people who are intimately connected to Me instinctively reject misguided teachings when they are presented to them. This is a sign that their soul resists something that is unwelcome to it, that in its desire for what is right and true it is warned by the spirit within itself to accept something untrue, that it therefore unconsciously adopts a hostile attitude and does not hide its attitude but openly confesses it. Then I Myself will cause this person to express his rejection because I want misguided teachings to be branded as pernicious for the soul. But if a person's inner voice is silent and he does not recognize the wrongness of an action or teaching, then he does not ask for My advice but is convinced of himself or his ability to judge .... He does not ask and therefore cannot receive an answer .... I cannot speak to him through the heart because he is not mindful of his sensations. But the will to reject would nevertheless awaken in him if he were only serious about the pure truth which, however, he could only ever find about Me and through Me. Anyone who falls prey to misguided teachings must look for the blame within himself, for as soon as he demands the truth it will be offered to him. For I always speak through the heart to those who want to be instructed by Me, because I will not leave a person in error who desires the truth ....

Amen

Shaping the heart to the temple of God ....

B.D. 5758 from August 31th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You shall shape your heart into a temple in which I can take abode. And in this temple you should pray, enter your inner being and seek Me there and speak to Me in humility and love .... and you will hear My counter-speech, providing you make My presence within you possible. But if you shape your heart into a temple of God you will cleanse it of all rubbish, you will remove everything from it which does not allow My presence, you will adorn it with virtues of all kinds; you will do everything that pleases Me and draws Me into the temple of your heart, you will become love yourselves in order to be able to receive eternal love within yourselves. And then you will always worship in silence, then you will gladly stay where I am and only ever long for the hour when you can converse with Me, when you offer your services to Me, when you entrust your needs and worries to Me, when you ask Me for help and strength in humble silent prayer .... You will insert this hour more and more frequently into your earthly existence, for then you will dwell in a realm which lies outside the earthly world, you will seek comfort and strength in the place where I dwell, because you have made it into a dwelling place, into a temple for Me through your love .... You do not need to look for Me far away, not in public places, not in dead objects, for there I am not to be found .... but if you go into your own heart, if you go into silence to call upon Me, then I will respond to your call, even if your heart is not yet shaped in such a way that I can dwell in it, but I will come to you and help you to prepare the dwelling place for Me ....

For your desire for Me is already a great aid for the purification of the heart, and then everything that prevents Me from moving in with you will also be removed with My strength .... I can be so close to you that you feel My presence, that you are able to hear Me, and I also want to be so close to you because I love you .... But you must make it possible for Me to be with you .... By shaping yourselves into love you must prepare your heart as a temple into which you can then enter at any time in order to receive words of love from Me which will always make you happy as soon as you desire to hear Me ....

Amen

Dwelling of God in the heart .... childhood of God ....

B.D. 7336 from April 15th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Let Me enter your hearts and take abode therein, so that I will remain with you and never ever leave you, so that I will live in you and you will be intimately united with Me. I only long for this intimate bond, for then the relationship between child and father is established which ensures your union with Me, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life. If I can be in you then you will also have changed into love, your heart will have been purified and reshaped into love, and thus it will also have become a place of residence for Me, which I will take possession of above all others and never ever want to leave, because I, too, long for unity with My child and have now achieved the aim .... that you have become My children who, as living creations, approach your exit from Me. Purify your heart with all eagerness and then await Me with all devotion that I take abode with you .... And from now on you will no longer walk your earthly path alone, but you will now walk the path under My guidance and truly always in the shortest way into the father's house. But the fact that you still have to stay on earth is also part of your trial life on this earth, for you all still have to cast off dross, you all still have to perfect yourselves on this earth if you want to reach the degree of childship to God which makes you the most blissful creatures in the spiritual kingdom. And once I have been able to take abode in your hearts you will also still reach the aim of becoming true children of God, for you will succeed with My support, after all, I am present to you and you will now travel the last part of your path under My guidance, because you will completely submit yourselves to Me as soon as I can take abode in you. Just sincerely want this presence of Mine within you and then you will also sincerely work on yourselves so that your heart will be free from sin and can serve Me as a dwelling place. And if you want My presence .... then I am already with you and will never ever leave you .... Then the child has found its way home to the father and He now leads it back into the father's house in order to prepare a blissful life for it in the spiritual kingdom, in its true home, where the child is now allowed to always stay close to the father in light and freedom, in strength and bliss and now creates with Him in love and wisdom and strength. Childship to God is the highest degree of bliss, and this possibility is open to you humans on earth to leave earth in this highest degree and enter a kingdom of unimagined light and unimagined bliss .... But on earth you already have to carry the desire for love for Me in your heart, and this desire for love will impel you to work diligently on your soul, and thereby you will attract Me to you, because I like to be where love causes Me to express My love .... where I can give Myself to a person who loves Me .... Then I will take abode in you and never ever leave you. Then the union will have taken place which is the purpose and aim of your earthly life .... the child will have found its way home to its father's house ....

Amen

Connection with God by mental communion and prayer

Inner life .... Withdrawing into seclusion ....

B.D. 4343 from June 20th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Go into seclusion and allow Me to speak to you, and you will hear an abundance of wonderful things, a world of ideas will be revealed to you which otherwise would remain unknown to you, for I Myself will guide you into regions which are new to you and yet seem appealing to you once you have entered them. Spiritual instruction is extremely valuable because you will keep it forever; it is truly far more beneficial for you than any increase of earthly knowledge, for all this will fall away or be forgotten the moment you physically die, spiritual knowledge, however, shines like a bright light and casts a gentle gleam which attracts entirely uninformed souls because it affects them beneficially. Thus you may accept spiritual knowledge from My hand if you withdraw into seclusion, if you enter into silent communication with Me in your closet. You should seek seclusion, that is, leave the world behind you, live an inner life in frequent union with Me .... And I will always be a willing Teacher for you Who will convey the knowledge you need, which you are missing and which makes you happy. As long as you are attracted to the world, you will find it difficult to make spiritual contact with Me, for I stand outside the world, yet I Am at all times within reach for you if you turn away from the world. I Am always available, but whether you have time for Me remains up to you, nevertheless, every minute you think of Me is a blessing for you.

Therefore gather spiritual wealth, it is extremely precious, and make good use of your time, be aware of the fact that it will never be wasted if you enter into contact with Me, if you withdraw from the world, and remember that you merely acquire illusive possessions with every service the world demands of you. Only love for other people has the same value, because it equally results in a connection with Me and enables My working in you .... So you should often talk to Me if you want to gather eternal treasures for yourselves. I will always assign the right task for you, I will guide you to where you can be lovingly active, I will send people to you whom you can inspire into discussions which direct their thoughts to Me again, as your Teacher I will provide you with the knowledge which you should pass on to them, and I will always be with you, because every connection from earth to Me is beneficial and will help you to ascend. For this is My promise to you 'I remain with you until the end ....' Understand these Words and realise that you yourselves have to enable Me to be present with you through your will, that you must withdraw into solitude and lift your thoughts up to Me .... Then I will be and remain with you for all eternity ....

Amen

Comforting Fatherly Words ....

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

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

Amen

God's reply to thoughts .... Presence ....

B.D. 6116 from November 22nd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

You can always be convinced of My presence if your thoughts revolve around Me, if you send an appealing call to Me, if you mentally entrust your problems to Me .... In that case you can consider yourselves addressed by Me and need only pay attention to the thoughts coming to you if you quietly listen within .... For I will answer you .... even if you believe this answer to be your own thoughts .... It is My will and My goal that all people shall establish contact with Me in thought .... yet only a few put it into practise .... Consequently it should be self-evident that I will delight these few with My presence because they turn to Me in their thoughts. For every such thought affects Me like a childlike call which I will not fail to hear, after all, I Am waiting for it .... And the nature of the call determines My reply .... as long as you are not yet so intimately connected to Me due to your loving activity that I will be able to impart knowledge to you independently from your thinking .... which, however, requires your belief that I speak to you through the spirit .... In that case, however, you will also be completely convinced of My presence which will give obvious evidence of itself.

Yet the fact that your thinking of Me will likewise affect My presence and that I will then also speak to you is unknown to you humans .... and neither do you know how easily you can draw Me to yourselves and enter into an ever more intimate relationship with Me if you accomplish unselfish neighbourly love, since thereby you draw Me, the Eternal Love, close to you. Then you will be able to strengthen your bond with Me and finally attain a degree of love which is the prerequisite for an obvious working of the spirit within and for you .... You just have to believe that you yourselves are the cause of your God and Father 's presence due to your thinking of Him .... If you look at your daily life from this point of view you will soon consider every hour wasted you have not thought of Me; for if you know that I can and want to be present to you, you will only be happy when you are in silent mental contact with Me .... And you will comply with My gentle urging to perform loving actions and also become aware of the light and strength which will arise in you from such contacts with Me ....

God's presence by works of love

Jesus heard the Word of God .... Mediator between God and people ....

B.D. 6145 from December 25th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

When Jesus lived on earth as a human being the connection between Earth and the spiritual kingdom was established .... God Himself was once again able to speak to people through the mouth of Jesus, the man .... His Word could be heard again, which previously was impossible due to the vast distance which existed between humanity and God. It is only possible to hear His voice directly if a person's soul has so shaped itself that it is capable of hearing the voice of the divine spirit within itself; and the soul is shaped into this state through activity of love .... The human being Jesus was Love Itself .... His sole thoughts and intentions aimed to benefit His fellow human beings, to help them in all adversity of body and soul. His soul was clear and pure and His life on earth was a life of love .... All preconditions were in place which enabled the divine spirit to express itself, for the soul of the man Jesus heard these Words clearly and distinctly and was therefore able to inform people of God's Word .... God Himself was able to speak to people, the connection between God and people had been restored by Him .... Jesus was the mediator between God and people .... And thus Jesus taught people to strive towards the same that He Himself had achieved .... He taught them to exercise love in order to prepare themselves as a vessel for the divine spirit into which the strength of the spirit could pour, for every person should and was able to hear God's voice within himself. And the path was shown to him by the man Jesus, Who also first had to attain the degree of love which assured Him God's presence, so that he was able to hear Him within Himself. Although God can speak to every person He will never do so unless the conditions have been fulfilled first .... a heart purified by love which can admit God Himself Who then will demonstrate His presence through His Word .... The man Jesus possessed an extraordinarily high degree of maturity of soul because He was utterly permeated by love .... Hence it was possible for God Himself to permeate Him completely, and so God spoke through the man Jesus to people and it was no longer the man Jesus but God Himself. He achieved of His own accord what led to the unification with God ....

But He instructed His fellow human beings, He also wanted help them attain the success which He had gained through His love and therefore He first taught them to love .... and again and again only love .... Out of His great love came wisdom, for the spirit of God instructed people through Jesus .... Out of the fire of His love radiated the light of realisation .... Jesus knew that people, too, would be permeated by the light of realisation if only they lived up to love first .... this is why people were not taught more profound knowledge since this is the result of a live of love without which it remains ineffective for the human being's soul. Only love connects the human being to God, only love achieves that God will take abode in a person, and only love motivates Him to express Himself .... And thus someone living a life of love will hear the Word of God inside of him, he will be guided into the most profound knowledge, he will be able to say that he is taught by God, he hears His Word and is thereby united with Him through love .... The man Jesus demonstrated to people that it is possible to achieve this degree and therefore showed them the path which leads from the abyss to higher spheres again .... to the Father .... He taught love, He lived love and finally crowned His way of life with His death on the cross in order to release people from all weaknesses which became their share due to their past sin .... so that people would have the strength to take the path, so that God's spirit would be able to pour into all those who are willing to follow Him .... who live a life of unselfish neighbourly love as He had exemplified to them on earth ....

"God is in me ...." loving activity ....

B.D. 6225 from April 1st 1955, taken from Book No. 67

When eternal love Itself draws close to you there can no longer be a relapse into the abyss, for what It grasp It hold on to forever .... because love has found itself to love .... Therefore you humans take care that you remember My affection, take care that you live in My will and thus shape yourselves into love, because then I can unite with you, because then I can grasp you and remain united with you for all eternity .... You can truly feel grasped by Me if you practice love, if you only ever do what is My will, for then you submit yourselves to My will and My love permeates you and impels you to ever new activity in love. As soon as you do good out of your innermost urge I am already within you, for this inner urge proves Me, it proves My spirit of love which now influences you, which guides you and impels you into ever new works of love. As soon as you carry out works of love you are also connected with God .... He is in you .... But only if you are lovingly active .... The saying 'I have My God in me ....' is only justified if your heart is willing to love, for only there can I be present where love is, because I Myself am love .... And then you will also be able to judge if and when the human being only uses empty words .... For My presence can never be spoken of where the heart is without love. Love and I are the same, but love is unselfish, it is always willing to sacrifice, to give, to alleviate hardship .... it is only concerned about the welfare of its fellow human being .... Love is divine, and it also makes the being a divine creature with which I Myself can unite .... whereas My presence is impossible with a person who acts and thinks without love, who himself has left My flow of love due to his nature, who therefore has no other connection with eternal love than that the strength which animates him has flowed out of Me, but which does not force him to enter into the connection with Me in love .... A 'God' can never be denied by a 'thinking' human being .... But the connection with God has to be made possible by the human being himself, he has to establish it through love .... Only then can he justifiably say: "God is in me ...." for then I have grasped him and will never let him go from Me, then man has fulfilled the conditions that unites him with Me .... He has entered the law of eternal order, he has changed his nature into love, he has forced My presence upon himself, because I always have to be where love is .... but can never be where love is absent. Love alone guarantees My presence .... The spark of love glows in every person as My share, yet it is completely ineffective as long as it is not ignited .... which the human being's own will has to do, but then he will remain eternally united with Me ....

Again and again you are told this, for you humans are not yet very permeated by the spirit of Jesus Christ or you would not pass away in weakness of faith and strengthlessness, even if you have the will to belong to My own. The spirit of Jesus Christ is the spirit of love by which He was so completely permeated that My presence in Him thus became possible, or also: My spirit of love permeated Him, and thus it was I Myself Who was in Him. The divine spirit of love must first be able to work in you, only then will you be able to say: "Jesus Christ is in me .... God Himself is present in me ...." And I want to be present in you. And your whole existence is therefore a chain of experiences which are all suitable to draw you closer to Me in love and thus make My presence possible .... For you will constantly be stimulated into loving activity, and if you practice this the divine spirit of love will radiate through you ever more, and you will be united with Me in Jesus Christ, and I will fill you with strength and light because I can be present to you .... But this relationship between you and Me must be alive, otherwise your faith will also be dead, otherwise I cannot be present to you .... And only in love will your faith find true life .... Let divine love itself be within you, for with every work of love you draw it close to you, and thus, if you live in love, you will also live with Me, Who is eternal love .... And I will never leave you again, not even when you are unable to feel My nearness .... I am with you who are of good will .... But always think about why you are often unable to feel Me. Think about the fact that My love cannot become effective even though it is always meant for you, that My love is only felt by you when you reciprocate it yourselves and thus meet Me with ardent love which then allows Me to be noticeably present. My love is not withdrawn from you, it is merely ineffective which you cause yourselves if you lack loving activity, but again and again I influence you from within to practice love, and again and again you will thereby draw Me close to you and be able to say...: "Jesus Christ, the embodied love, is in Me and present to Me ...." And if you don't feel this presence of Mine, then only ever make an effort to live a life of love and you will inwardly feel that you are united with Me, My presence will no longer appear doubtful to you, you will be able to speak in all intimacy as a child speaks to its father .... and your faith will become firm and unshakeable because it is alive through love ....

Amen

"He who abides in love .... "

B.D. 8409 from February 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

"Whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him .... "You should always remember these words of Mine in order to grasp the great significance of every activity of love which you carry out .... Since I am love Itself, you must also be in direct contact with Me when you practise love, for then you will also make use of the strength which originates from Me .... but you can only ever say this when one of your activities is based on love. For you can also utilize your vitality by working on earth for the sake of earthly goals, yet the bond with Me, Who is eternal love, is only guaranteed if love impels you to work. Then I will be present to you, I Myself will work in you, and My presence is the greatest success you can achieve .... Your love draws Me to you, or: love is My fundamental substance, and you are the same in your original being .... Thus, when you perform works of love you receive Me Myself into yourselves, your love unites with Me and your being slowly returns to the original state where it was completely permeated and stood in most intimate bond with Me .... Time and again you should remind yourselves of these words of Mine, that you cause Me to be constantly present if you constantly carry out works of love; and I will explain to you what it means to constantly be certain of My presence, so that you strive for this bond with Me with all your senses: I then direct all your thoughts, I determine your doings and intentions, I guide you on all your paths, I protect you from every danger of body and soul, I give you strength in abundance, spiritually as well as earthly .... I keep My adversary away from you, for he can never be where I am .... I enlighten your spirit and I also lead you safely to the goal .... All this is brought about by love within you, for as soon as you perform works of love your will also belongs to Me and you consciously take the path of return to Me, from Whose love you emerged. Being certain of My presence will make your earthly path easy for you, for then you will fear nothing because you feel safe and secure in My presence. "You remain in Me and I in you .... "As soon as you move in love, as soon as you work in My will and with My strength. And you should be aware of the fact that I only require love from you and that you will then completely fulfil your purpose of earthly life .... so that you will not walk this earthly path in vain but safely reach the goal. For you should only allow one thing on earth, that My strength of love can illuminate you again, and this happens when you accomplish works of love yourselves .... when you think of your neighbour with unselfish love, when you support him in every adversity and distress, be it spiritual or earthly .... when you take care of all those who are still distant from Me and try to lead them to Me and only ever let love impel you to work on earth. Every activity which is driven by love is blessed by Me, for you always open the door to your heart for Me Myself, into which I can radiate My love, into which I Myself can move and take abode, because I, as the eternal love, can only dwell where there is love. You will now also understand that people who do not perform any works of love are still very distant from Me, for only love allows My presence, but without love the distance remains, which you should reduce and completely remove during your earthly life if you don't want to have lived it in vain. In the last days, however, love has grown cold amongst people, therefore My presence with them is impossible, therefore no living faith in Me as God and creator can be found anymore, and earthly life is an idle run for many and will therefore end prematurely for them. For without love there is no spiritual progress, there is no bond with Me and no redemption from the form .... Without love there is no light, and the human being remains in the power of My adversary, the prince of darkness, for without love the human being lives without God .... He remains distant from God and meets an agonising fate when the end has come ....

Amen

Presupposition of the presence of God: love ....

B.D. 8515 from June 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Again and again I want to point out to you that you all can hear My voice when you just carry out the change back of your nature to love and are now so intimately connected to Me through love that you can hear Me. Because My presence, which you now allow in you through love, will then also prove itself through My address, as you also heard My word in you in the beginning, when you had gone out from Me in all perfection. You are indeed still far away from it at the beginning of your existence as man, because your nature lets little love be recognized; but very quickly you can change, and you can become happy men on earth, if you just join Me intimately, what only presupposes a life in love. And again and again I give you the assurance that every gulf can be bridged when you just muster the will for it yourselves, because you just need to pray intimately to also secure My presence for you. The spiritual spark in you, which is part of My father-spirit from eternity, will also constantly push towards it, and if the human being consciously strives for the unification of his spiritual spark with the father-spirit .... that he lives a life of love and thus causes the eternal love Itself to be present, then he will also certainly be able to hear My voice within himself .... the clearer the stronger love flares up in him .... Then therefore My spirit can pour into a suitable vessel, because love banishes all impurity out of the heart and this has therefore prepared itself right that My love stream can flow in. And to be radiated through by My spirit means to gain deepest, truthful knowledge .... to change the state of ignorance, of spiritual blindness and darkness into a state of light and clarity about everything what is connected with one's own being .... To be ignorant is not a state of bliss .... To stand in brightest knowledge will always make man happy because then he is also already close to his original state where he was radiated through with light and power .... And this light and power will be his share when he brings love in him to unfold .... Then My light of love also radiates to him again, then he can also hear Me Myself again .... He can exchange with Me; he can ask, and he will receive answer; he can be introduced to deepest knowledge through My word, because My spirit flows over him and inner clarity, bright knowledge will always fill him with happiness .... Love therefore secures this blissful state for him; love gives him light and strength; love establishes the bond with Me as the Eternal Love, and this human being clearly and distinctly hears My voice within himself who only ever lives a life of love. Only through My death on the cross did it become possible again that this intimate union with Me took place, because before My opponent possessed too much power and he prevented men from love work, where he could only .... and because the original sin had created an unbridgeable gulf between My living creations and Me .... I have bridged this gulf Myself through My death on the cross ..... Nevertheless, every human being has to step onto the bridge himself and restore the bond with Me on his own initiative .... And this only happens through love, because I can only unite with a person who seeks to assimilate himself to My original nature, who draws Me to himself through a life of love .... And so love is the prerequisite to also be able to hear My voice, because love results in My presence and My presence proves itself again through My address .... And so I also could fill My disciples with My spirit and give a clear sign of My work after My ascent to heaven .... Through My death on the cross they had again become free from all guilt, their life was a service in love and their hearts thus prepared that My spirit could flow in, and this obviously happened because I wanted it that way that men take note of My unusual work in My disciples .... And so they could also .... full of wisdom from Me .... now carry out their mission to spread My gospel to the world and to proclaim Me and My great work of grace and mercy .... For all men are to reach their perfection on earth, and therefore they must first lead a life in love to then be led by Me Myself by the hand, to mature in their souls and to grow in knowledge and to be able to associate with Me Myself as a child associates with its father .... And then they will also hear My voice the higher the degree of their love increases .... For the father speaks with His child .... God speaks with His creatures because He wants to lead everything again to perfection, because all His creatures are to live again in light and power and freedom eternally ....

Amen

Living faith in God's presence in man

"Faith moves mountains ...."

B.D. 5081 from March 7th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

You only need one thing: to revive your faith to that strength which no longer allows fear and discouragement. Then your life will be an easy one, for then you will overcome everything through this faith which makes you direct recipients of My strength and then everything will be possible for you. Nothing is impossible for Me and My strength and therefore also for you, if you make use of My strength precisely through strong faith. You are a part of Me and equally powerful to Me to the extent that you join Me; as soon as you don't stand apart but remain united with Me My strength must also flow through you and you must also be able to use this strength. Only your own doubt, your ignorance and your unbelief prevent you from using the strength from Me, which is at your unlimited disposal. "You will be able to move mountains, if only you believe ...." These words are not a figure of speech, but fullest truth. You are divine creatures in which I want to and can work if you do not oppose Me. My working, however, means to let the divine characteristics emerge again which slumber in you as a part of Myself but which you do not develop because your faith is weak. But to work extraordinarily in you without your faith would be harmful for your soul. You have to let faith come alive in yourselves, and you can also do this if you unite with Me through loving activity, for faith comes alive through love. Therefore, if you have little faith love is not yet properly kindled in you, selfish love still dominates you too much and you are not yet united with Me, which is why you don't fully trust Me either, which is why your faith is easily shaken.

Love gives life to faith, but you can practice love by divesting yourselves of what is dear to you and make your fellow human being happy with it by giving yourselves in order to receive something extremely valuable .... a strong faith which no longer lets you doubt My love, My wisdom and My omnipotence. And the more you change into love the more intimately you unite with Me, then you will be aware of My presence and now work and want with Me, thus everything you now tackle will also be possible for you to accomplish. Then you will only need to want and all elements will obey you, no power will be able to resist you anymore, for through a strong faith you make use of Me Myself, and you know that My strength and might is unlimited and that everything must and will obey My will, which is now also yours. Then you will also be able to move mountains, for there is no resistance to My strength and you will also be able to defeat it if you let your faith come alive through love such that I Myself can now work in you ....

Amen

Faith in God's presence .... light from eternity ....

B.D. 7099 from April 21st 1958, taken from Book No. 75

From every spiritual instruction you can gather that I want to give you light, that I want to guide your thinking correctly and make you willing to fulfil your earthly task .... For since you are without knowledge at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being, knowledge must therefore also be made accessible to you, otherwise it would be unreasonable of Me to demand something from you which you could not possibly fulfil. Every person is given little knowledge but it is up to him to increase this knowledge, for higher knowledge can only be imparted to him under certain conditions. And this is already a sign that the human being is making an effort to fulfil his earthly task. But the brighter it becomes in him, the further he progresses in knowledge, the more he detaches himself from darkness, from the realm of My adversary, who flees a light because it proves Me Myself and My presence. You must therefore first be convinced that I am already present to you when light comes to you in the form of My word .... The conviction of My presence will then also determine your whole being, you will attain inner peace, you will not feel powerless, you will feel a sense of secure safety and thus no longer fear anything, irrespective of whether it approaches you from outside or from within, whether My adversary tries to oppress you through intermediaries or whether you yourselves are still occasionally afflicted by passions or weaknesses which trigger mental battles in you .... Unconditional faith in My presence restores your inner peace and also gives you the strength to resist temptations from outside .... And you should always have this unconditional faith who are taught by My spirit .... The light you receive should also let you recognize the 'light from eternity', Which so obviously reveals Itself to you. You could truly consider yourselves overjoyed by this evidence of My presence, you would not need to live through anxious hours, you would not need to doubt My everlasting loving care for you and for the help you ask for yourselves. For My presence should be such certain proof to you that you belong to My own who are in My constant care. But you still think too little of My 'presence' and yet you experience My working on and in you again every day, which is only possible if I can be present to you .... But you could still make far more use of My presence, for I only want you to make conscious contact with Me, that you thus fully consciously recognize Me Myself as working within you and that, out of this realization, you now also consort with Me confidentially, that you no longer live a separate life but constantly know Me next to you .... And this certainty will have a wonderful effect on you, you will radiate peace, serenity, a constant willingness to help will fill you, and you will no longer let yourselves be distracted by anything that happens around you and in the world. You absolutely have to let this blissful certainty arise in you, for only then will you also possess a living faith; all isolation from Me will be lifted, you will be My own again as you were in the beginning. Then you will also have become free from the power which has held you captive until now. And it should be easy for you in particular to be and remain aware of My presence, who are taught by Me and thus may experience a visible evidence of My love, which is possible through My presence. I can only address you when I Myself am in you .... You would never hear My voice without My presence, and thus My spirit would never be able to work in you either, which is nevertheless My share and will remain forever. "I will remain with you until the end of the world ...." Could I promise you My presence more clearly than through these words of Mine? And when it becomes light in you, when you attain realization, then this is always the evidence of a bond between you and Me, which you certainly have to establish yourselves but which is then also so certain that you can establish the most intimate relationship with Me, your God and father from eternity .... Believe firmly and unshakably in My presence and you will experience for yourselves how much easier your earthly path now is .... For you need only entrust everything that moves you to Me and I will take care of it for you, because you believe in My help as well as you are able to believe in My presence. You would never be able to grasp this if I had not already given you a degree of realization, if some light had not already illuminated your soul, which just took its origin in Me Myself. And therefore it is impossible for a person in spiritual darkness to grasp the immense love of a God and father Who approaches people Himself in order to speak to them .... But where a small light is already kindled it can be intensified until finally all darkness disappears from the human being's heart because I Myself have taken abode in it .... because I Myself am therefore present to the person who has received a light from Me .... For I Myself am the light from eternity .... So where there is light, there must also irrevocably be I Myself .... and where I am there is no more cause for worry and suffering, for faith in My presence is also the surest guarantee that I Myself regulate everything in a way that is good and beneficial for the soul ....

Amen

Living christians .... power of faith .... presence of God ....

B.D. 7256 from January 15th 1959, taken from Book No. 77

Only when you are faced with great adversity will it become clear whether you are living christians or only call yourselves formal christians who will fail when they have to prove themselves. And this time will come upon you when only a living faith can help you, when you have to prove yourselves, when the strength of faith has to be tested, which only a living faith can muster. The majority of people only have a formal faith; they do not reject what they have been taught but they have not yet seriously thought about the teachings. And as soon as they are prompted to call upon their God and creator, they will look for Him in the distance because they do not yet have communion with Him, a communion which manifests itself as a feeling of God's presence. And as long as this feeling is not yet in the human being, God has not yet come alive in him, and faith in God is only an empty expression, because he does not possess Him. Only the feeling of God's presence characterises a living christian, and then he will also possess the strength of faith which lets him take the path to the father in great hardship and ask for help from Him. Much suffering and misery will befall people, precisely in order to put their faith to the test. And it does not depend on the denominations, for every denomination can include living and dead followers, people who have entered into intimate bonds with God and those for whom God is and will remain the distant God, Whom they certainly know by name but have no bond with Him themselves as yet in order to call upon Him for help and assistance in cases of sudden adversity. But the need comes .... It must come for the sake of people who walk along indifferently and have not yet decided for themselves how they will relate to their God and creator from eternity .... It must come for people who believe to be christians and are only christians in name .... A confession of Jesus Christ is required of all, and only those who have a living faith can make such a confession .... but not those who only know about Him but have not yet established the right relationship with Him, which He requires in order to be able to be their redeemer from sin and death. Every person can decide once for the right relationship with Him, and he should do it of his own free will, because earthly life repeatedly gives him the opportunity to make this decision. But anyone who is foolish, who only ever remains a formal christian, that is, who is well aware of the divine redeemer but has never made use of His love and grace in order to be redeemed from his bondage .... who has not yet spoken to his father like a child, will first have to go through suffering and hardship in order to find the path to Him; he will first have to be so severely affected that only one way out remains for him, to take refuge in God in Jesus Christ and thereby confess that he believes in Him alive .... whereas the formal christian often still loses his shallow faith when the going gets tough and thereby proves that he has not yet had any bond with Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, with God Himself .... The closer it is to the end, the more necessary this testing of faith will be, for more and more people separate themselves, even if they belong to an ecclesiastical community, but it is only an illusory bond for the sake of fellow human beings, there is nothing true and living left which can be counted as a 'community of believers'. The churches are only worldly organizations, but no longer the union of deeply believing people who see in Jesus Christ the founder of their church, which was only founded on firm faith. And people will therefore be forced by life to make a confession, for the coming time will be very difficult for many people but nevertheless also a blessing for the living christian, because he will establish the bond with God ever more firmly and he will also be led out of all adversity and distress by his faith, because there is nothing for the living christian which cannot be overcome with the 'strength of faith' ....

Amen

"Where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in their midst"

‘Where two or three are gathered together in My name ....’

B.D. 2107 from October 10th 1941, taken from Book No. 30

‘Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there Am I in the midst of them ....’ What promise lies within these Words of the Lord! He announces His presence to those who meet in the name of Jesus. Thus it is His will that people should come together and remember the Lord .... It is His will that they should encourage each other to believe, that they help each other and speak about Him, that they therefore carry Him in their hearts and always mention His name. Then He will want to be with them, if only invisibly .... He wants them to be aware of His presence although they cannot see Him .... And therefore it is divine will that people should congregate in small circles in order to hear the divine Word. Yet He adds to this .... two or three .... People should consider that the Lord did not accidentally speak these Words .... they should consider that even in these Words rests a profound meaning. Communal prayers with many people cannot be God’s will, for something that should be a deeply inner experience turns into a mechanical action. For no formalities take place where only a few people are gathered, and these penetrate the divine Word ever deeper because they discuss each other’s points of view and also make a serious effort to live according to this Word. And this good will already draws God to them; this is why He gladdens the believers with His presence. But during large communal prayer meetings an exchange of thoughts is impossible. Each person is involved with his own thoughts and they don’t always relate to the spiritual kingdom. People don’t always deal with questions of eternity; often they are also very earthly-minded .... God will therefore never be amongst these for He is only present where He is most sincerely aspired to. And there will only be a few in such a community who have the earnest will to be good and therefore appeal to God for the strength to be able to live up to their will. These will be gladdened by the Lord. But there are not many of them .... Most people merely fulfil a duty and their belief is more a formality and the divine promise can never be granted to them. This is why people should abide by the divine Word, they should meet in small circles and draw strength from God’s Word, but they should never ever believe that it is pleasing to God when such gatherings are demanded as a matter of duty, since this excludes the profoundly heartfelt bond with the Lord unless his will is so exceptionally strong that the human being disregards all external impressions affecting him. Then the Lord will be with him too. Yet someone who complies with mere formalities has no living faith, thus he will not assign to these Words the significance which are actually inherent in these Words ....

Amen

'Where two or three are gathered ....'

B.D. 7075 from March 28th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

Wherever two or three are gathered in My name, there Am I in the midst of them., for every heartfelt thought of Me draws Me near to you, and therefore you can always be certain of My presence if you make Me Myself the subject of your conversations and thoughts. But as soon as I Am present you will also be spiritually illuminated by Me, thus you must also always derive a blessing from it which will be beneficially felt by your soul. And thus you should often gather in My name in order to partake of this blessing, for you constantly need My gift of strength which shall help your soul to progress. Admittedly, every individual person can also seek heartfelt union with Me by handing himself over to Me in thought and thus likewise receive strength in abundance, yet every spiritual conversation is blessed since many souls in the beyond can participate as well and, in turn, spiritually advance themselves. Besides, it also enables Me to intervene in such conversations by steering your thoughts toward questions which occupy the mind of people and the souls in the beyond, which shall be answered to them. You should gather in My name, for by doing so you also prove your love for Me, because every person tries to associate with the object of his love .... People only rarely have the need to exchange their views in spiritual debates; on the contrary, they anxiously avoid displaying their inner attitude .... Spiritual conversations rarely take place, and even less often will people meet for this purpose. And thus they also deny themselves the blessing which they could gain from such meetings. Yet on the other hand they believe that they comply with their spiritual duty in public meetings .... They fail to consider My Words 'Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there Am I in the midst of them ....' For these Words should make all those people reconsider in cases where they believe themselves to have sufficiently addressed their spiritual task by taking part in a 'church service' where a person can also easily ponder other more worldly thoughts and where a dedication to Me or a heartfelt bond with Me cannot be spoken of. Time and again I must point out to people that I only value a living faith, that I Am not satisfied with Pseudo-Christendom .... Time and again I must emphasise that I desire to be in contact with every individual person, but that this contact must also be established by every individual person, which he can certainly establish at any time and in any place if this is his serious will and heartfelt desire .... Then he will noticeably feel My blessing, and he will feel urged to seek contact with his fellow human beings, precisely in order to discuss what moves him so strongly .... because My presence impels him to speak regardless of what happens, because spiritually striving people who are full of love for Me will always gather for spiritual exchanges. This promise of Mine should also encourage you to test the strength of My name, for if you have faith you will also know that you, in your contact with Me, will also have strength at your disposal which you can use again for the benefit of your fellow human beings .... As yet your faith is weak, but time and again I remind you humans of My Words, and if you think about them seriously you will give even more significance to this promise; you will know that I Myself can work through you if you allow My working through the strength of your faith. For where I Am present there are no limits to My power .... providing that you don't draw limits yourselves through your very weak faith. However, I will bless you so that your strength will grow stronger through these Words of Mine 'Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there Am I in the midst of them ....' And where I Am My spirit can work and My love, wisdom and power can be revealed ....

Amen

God at work in people

God's work in man .... power ....

B.D. 3517 from August 19th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

The human being must be willing to give everything if he wants to fully and completely accept God's strength, if he wants to let it flow into him in all its fullness and thereby be able to achieve supernatural things. Anyone who gives everything away, who has completely detached his heart from earthly goods, from the world and its attractions, has overcome self-love and his love can only be the right kind, love for his neighbour and thus for God, and he will always and constantly be active in loving activity, he will thereby enter into closest contact with God and be able to receive His emanation of strength directly. For there is no longer any obstacle, his will is turned towards God and his actions correspond to God's will .... To detach oneself from the world means to unite with God .... but this separation must first have taken place before the human being opens himself without resistance to the supply of strength from God .... The will to do so must be proven through action, for the will to unite can also exist in people who are still lukewarm and turned towards the world, but it first has to be implemented through serious overcoming of that which appears earthly desirable to the human being. But then he will receive more than he has given, for the emanation of strength from God will make him infinitely more happy, he will master earthly life in full possession of the strength from God but first lead a spiritual life and have treasures at his disposal which will give his life rich content, which he will never want to miss again and which will stimulate him to constant activity in love. He will call knowledge his own which has its origin in God and is therefore purest truth; he will stand high in knowledge and this will make him free and happy. He will no longer know any weakness, no fear and anxiety, for the strength from God will never ever let such arise, and his constant endeavour will be to fulfil God's will, to serve Him and to help his neighbour to the same beatitude on earth which is granted to him. But the strength from God will also enable him to accomplish things which are extraordinary and beyond the strength of a human being .... his will will attain such strength that he will be able to do everything by believing in God's strength working in him .... If there is no longer an obstacle within himself for the influx of God's strength, there are also no limits to its working, for it is now God Who works in him, and the human being's will will now also be God's will if the union with God has taken place. Uninterrupted unselfish activity of love and the complete abandonment of earthly desires earns the human being unity with God on earth, and then God's love will also manifestly work in the human being and provide him with spiritual possessions unmeasured .... with the attention of the divine word, which, as God's direct emanation, is the greatest source of strength, from which he can now strengthen and refresh himself ....

(19.8.1945) God Himself works in him .... and man must now be powerful and mighty .... His will will only carry out what God's will is, and God's will will become a deed through a person who stands in the power of God. But to fellow human beings it appears supernatural because they don't feel God's strength within themselves and also have no understanding for its working. But if they themselves would overcome earthly matter, if they would likewise detach themselves from it, the same things would be possible for them and the process of extraordinary working through people would be explainable, because light flows to the human being at the same time as strength, the knowledge of spiritual working. Light and strength are one, and therefore nothing appears supernatural to the knowing human being, but only as an increased degree of spiritual progress. He knows that everything imperfect is powerless and lightless, but that power and light are part of him who seriously strives for perfection and develops upwards step by step. And therefore the knowing human being will also lose all fear of the world because he knows that he is in intimate contact with God and can make use of His strength at any time, and thus he is immune to the attacks of the world until the hour which God's will has set for his physical end. And therefore he fears no-one but is able to instil fear in fellow human beings who are ignorant of his strength and power. As a conqueror of matter every fetter of matter also falls from him, he stands in spiritual freedom, and that also means power over matter, because this is subject to God's will, which is expressed in the human being who is permeated by strength. God works in him .... and the human being's state must be bliss .... to be able to fully surrender to God's activity and to be constantly active according to His will .... He will only use his will to work in love in order to point people to God's love, which bestows a precious gift upon the human being who unites with Him, who overcomes matter and thus allows the strength from God to flow into him unhindered through continued activity in love .... He will point people to the strength of love which now expresses itself in an obvious way, he will initiate them into the strength and power of the divine word which educates to love and is a signpost to God .... He will present their earthly task to people and try to motivate them to likewise detach themselves from matter, which is worthless and transient, so that they can receive spiritual goods .... so that God's strength also expresses itself in them .... so that God Himself can work in them ....

Working of God directly or through messengers of light ....

B.D. 7639 from July 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

When the word of God is presented to you men, unformed and pure, as it was received from above through the Spirit, you should remember that God promised you this gift with the words: "I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, who will guide you into all truth. You should remember that He promised you "the Spirit" and that He said: "I will remain with you until the end of the world". "Thus it is He Himself Who speaks to you when you hear His word through the voice of the spirit, for He will always speak to people and thus "remain with you until the end of the world." Whether He speaks to you directly or through His messengers of light .... it always remains the same word, for it emanates from Him and flows through all beings of light .... Thus it must always be recognized and acknowledged as His sanctified word, because it emanates from the Eternal word Itself, from the original source of light, because God's love allows it to flow into infinity and everyone can hear it who opens himself and fulfils the conditions God has attached to the 'working of the spirit in the human being'. God therefore works .... and this must always be mentioned, for the working of the beings of light is also the "working of God" .... It is the exchange of light and strength which takes place in the spiritual kingdom and thus makes the beings of light infinitely happy .... And these beings will always distribute the same, thus the announcements received from above, from the kingdom of light, which alone is governed by God's will and lower forces can never intervene to spread error, will never contradict each other. And therefore you humans should listen to the word of God, accept it in your hearts and live accordingly. And then the light will shine through you, your realisation will increase, knowledge will be imparted to you and all spiritual darkness will disappear. And then you will also recognize when you are offered error, for then you will recognize the contradiction with the pure word of God and reject it because it will not bring you light but would like to darken your realisation .... But you should stand in the light, this is God's will, and therefore He will also kindle light where this is also the human being's will to receive truth. And you humans should only have the sincere will for truth within yourselves, you should only try to muster the understanding for the 'working of the spirit', i.e., you should try to find out the truth about it .... And then it would also be self-evident to you that truth can only be conveyed to earth by God through His spirit and therefore may also be accepted without hesitation, for God Himself gave this promise to people when He lived on earth. He will be amongst His Own until the end of the world, and He will instruct them in truth .... and this can only happen through His spirit, which works in the person who believes .... (1. Tess. 2, 13) And God wants to work in every human being, but the human being himself must make this possible by preparing himself to be a receptacle of the divine spirit .... by living in love, thus by keeping God's commandments, so that God can now reveal Himself to him. Where love is absent, His word will not be able to resound .... where love is absent, the spirit of God cannot work .... and where love is not there is also no faith in God's working through His spirit. Yet truth will never be or be represented where love is absent, for God, love and truth are one and nothing can be thought of without the other. The spirit of God must be at work if people want to be instructed in the truth, and the spirit of God must also open people's understanding for it, otherwise the truth will not be recognized as such either. And therefore the human being must first shape himself into love so that the Eternal Love Itself can be in him, so that It can address him through the spirit and then introduce him to the truth, as God has promised ...._>Amen

God is in us .... He is present to us ....

B.D. 8095 from February 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 85

There is no greater gift of grace for you humans on this earth than that you are taught by Me in direct speech .... For then I am present to you, and I prove My presence to you through revelations which can only come to you from Me Myself, Who knows everything .... thus I am in you, for whether you conceive even a tiny spark of My spirit of God in you .... My spirit is indivisible, and therefore you can always speak of the fact that I Myself am working in you when this tiny spark of spirit expresses itself. And thus you will also be truthfully instructed by Me, since I Myself am the eternal truth. Thus you have to evaluate the reception of the word, which is therefore an unusual gift of grace because you, as human beings, are not yet in the highest degree of maturity which results in complete unification. Yet My love for you is exceedingly great and unusual help has to be given to you because My adversary has great power and uses it to ruin you. Yet I would not be able to express Myself if you yourselves did not let the spark of My spirit of God flare up, if you yourselves did not live a life of love which ignites the spiritual spark and now allows it to work. And you, in turn, would not hear anything of its manifestation if you did not listen to yourselves in profound faith, if you did not believe in My direct address .... And this again presupposes the inner bond with Me which now causes Me to radiate My love towards you and to bestow it upon you in abundance. I always want to be in you and prove My presence to you. And therefore I will always address you as often as you allow it, i.e. connect with Me inwardly and listen within .... And then I will pour out a wealth upon you which will truly make you blissfully happy .... I give you light in all abundance, I teach you truthfully about everything that is helpful for the maturing of your souls .... I radiate My love upon you and My love gives you what you lack because you are not yet perfect. I have often already enlightened you about the 'working of My spirit' and thus informed you that there are indeed limits to the human being's intellectual knowledge but never to the knowledge which can be gained through the working of My spirit .... This knowledge is truly unlimited and yet it can be imparted to the human being by Me Myself, Who is truth, Who is light from eternity. But only I Myself can convey this knowledge to you, and I truly choose the right vessels for Myself into which I can let My light flow, but which shall now also shine far into the dark night .... Yet this is rarely possible, people usually resist Me because they don't let their heart speak but their intellect. But where My direct activity is possible the ray of light is of such strength that it can and will illuminate many human hearts which merely receive it without resistance, which surrender themselves to the illumination of love and thus indirectly accept My address. (6.2.1962) And this is what I want to achieve, that people lose their spiritual blindness, that they slowly come to realize again what they were in the beginning and what they shall become again .... I want to kindle a small light in every person, for then he will live his earthly life consciously, he will ask questions within himself and these will be answered mentally, his thinking will be right if it is his desire to experience truth .... He will know about My will and strive to fulfil it because he will also start to recognize the connection with Me as his God and creator .... And increasingly brighter light will certainly shine upon him, for he opens himself to My illumination of love as soon as he only establishes mental contact with Me, as soon as he relinquishes all inner resistance against Me. I Myself am in him as the tiniest spark of God, and he no longer opposes this presence of Mine, and then I can also work in him .... And I will also do it, I will reveal Myself to every person, albeit in different ways, always according to his degree of maturity, but every person will be able to recognize Me who only wants to. My ray of love will touch him again and again until he consciously opens himself and desires Me and My love, which will then be bestowed upon him in all abundance .... For I love My living creations and want them to become blissfully happy .... I also want them to know of My great love so that they will reciprocate My love. But then the union will also be assured, then My living creation will also have escaped all darkness, because the light will shine within itself, because I Myself can be present to it and then there will truly be no more relapse into the abyss to fear ....

Amen

God's work in vineyard workers

"You will be able to accomplish even greater things ...." promise ....

B.D. 4647 from May 21st 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The master's works shall always serve as an example to his disciples, and a striving disciple will also reach the aim of equalling his master in his achievement. And so also I have said to you: "You will accomplish even greater things". So there is the possibility of the disciple surpassing his master .... You will certainly doubt this statement but I repeat it and add that nothing would be impossible for you if only you muster the will to work with Me and My strength. A person can rarely muster the faith for this, but he will be able to achieve supernatural things, but only because he believes. Once you attain this profound faith, which can move mountains, you would never again lack strength, you would never again be afflicted by doubts and you would truly be even greater than the man Jesus, for He has told you this and His word is truth. But as long as the human being does not muster this strong faith which is able to do everything, no human being will surpass the God-man Jesus, to Whom the elements obeyed through His faith and His love and Who subjugated everything to Himself because He worked with Me and knew no limitation of His strength from Me. I Myself was active in Him, but I was also the strength which is without beginning and without end and which therefore can also express itself without limitation without diminishing. But now you, My disciples of the last days, shall provide the evidence for Jesus' words, you shall subdue all powers through an exceedingly strong faith and likewise work without limitation for My honour and My glorification and thus practice works which bring honour to the master's school .... you shall work miracles by virtue of your faith, constantly using the strength from Me. Only a strong faith is able to do this, and therefore I try to help you achieve this strong faith. I let you get into trouble from which I often miraculously deliver you after heartfelt prayer to Me. You shall recognize your master in it and now willingly do the work He instructs you to do, and if you now strive for highest perfection your works will also become ever more perfect until they resemble those of the master. Jesus Christ was your master, Who instructed you and admonished you to follow Him, and Who gave you the promise which shall spur you on to strive .... that you may accomplish greater things .... But who makes the test? Who seeks to reach that degree of love which means complete union with Me and thus also unlimited emanation and reception of strength? Where the strength from Me is active every success is assured, and in this confidence the faith will also be firm and unshakeable, the human being will know and feel that he will be helped whatever he undertakes, and this confidence will enable him to achieve great deeds .... He will be able to accomplish supernatural things and thus be a true disciple, as I need him in the last days before the end ....

Amen

Gift of speech testimony to the work of the spirit ....

B.D. 4716 from August 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

What is given to you at this time speak and don't be afraid to speak it, for you are only driven by your spirit, which is My manifestation. So let everything come to you, whatever is done against you, for everything is firmly planned from eternity, and anyone who works for Me and on My behalf is under My special guidance and does nothing but comply with My will, for he has already surrendered his will to Me, he has given himself to Me of his own free will, and thus he is now My instrument, thus merely the executor of My will. The gift of being able to speak, if he uses himself for Me, must alone convince him that I have taken care of him, for it is proof enough of the presence of the one Who works in him .... "I am with you always until the end ...." this promise is to be taken literally, for I am truly present in those who love Me and keep My commandments .... who want to be active for Me out of love for Me and for their neighbour who is in need. I am with you and will not leave you forever, and even if you have to suffer because you are still in the midst of the world, because your body is not yet spiritualized and because your soul shall attain a higher degree of maturity, yet don't doubt that I Myself am with you. For with My will you also walk the earthly path through thorns and undergrowth, yet never without My guidance. And thus nothing can happen to you but what My will allows because My love and wisdom recognized it as good for you. Yet if you speak on My behalf it will be clear to you that you are under My protection, for even if you are harassed by opponents who try to make you unfit for your spiritual work you will be able to refute everything they say and visibly be filled by My spirit, you will speak on My behalf and stand up for Me and My kingdom with innermost conviction. And you will recognize My Working by the fact that a calmness will come over you as soon as it is necessary to fight for Me and My word, and that you will therefore fight successfully with the sword of your mouth .... For I am constantly with you and you do not go any way alone ....

Amen

God's presence and expression ....

B.D. 6292 from June 23rd 1955, taken from Book No. 68

I am always with you when you call Me in your thoughts, when you engage in spiritual conversations, when you speak for Me and My kingdom .... whenever you want Me to be in your midst .... For this I have promised you. And thus you need not look for Me in the distance; you can always imagine that I am present to you as soon as you are gathered in a small circle and do not hold worldly but spiritual conversations .... And thus you can also feel addressed by Me, and the transmission of My word need not be surprising to you, for how should I prove My presence to you other than by addressing you Myself? This is why everyone who is willing to be addressed by Me will be able to hear Me, and all his thoughts will then be guided by Me, because this will to hear Me also certainly guarantees him My address or right thinking. You know that I am your father and that you are My children. Therefore it is also the most natural thing that the father speaks to His child and that the child will always hear His voice if it pays attention .... if it does not close its ear or listen to loud sounds which sound to it from the world. Anyone who is willing to hear Me will also hear Me, and every thought turned towards Me will now also secure his own thinking according to My will. And thus it will also be protected from error if it desires the pure truth, if questions or unsolved problems occupy it .... But it must never expect a certain answer to such questions .... that is, such an answer it would most like to hear and which need not correspond to the truth. Anyone who desires to be instructed in the pure truth in order to pass it on to his fellow human beings should completely free himself from spiritual knowledge which has been imparted to him from outside .... He should empty his heart and open it for My flow of love, and I will fill it according to his desire .... but also according to his task if the human being wants to serve Me. And thus you humans have to make a distinction as to whether you only want to mentally communicate with Me, whether you desire My words to give you comfort and strength so that you can fulfil your earthly task .... or whether you offer yourselves to Me as mediators so that I can speak through you to all people .... In either case I am present to you Myself, in each case you hear My voice as soon as you desire it and make it possible for Me through your desire and your inward listening .... But whoever has a mission from Me I must also consider according to his mission .... for the fulfilment of the mission requires a certain knowledge which enables a teaching activity .... And this knowledge can only be received by a person who has attained a certain degree of maturity and fulfils certain prerequisites which enable him to convey My word .... You humans may all come to Me if you want to hear Me Myself .... You can all believe that I am with you and speak to you wherever My name is spoken in devotion and your heart opens so that I can enter .... but whom I have urged to work for My vineyard, whom I have entrusted with the teaching ministry, to him also goes what he needs for his work .... And you should listen to these in the firm belief that I Myself speak through them, because it is necessary that you humans are taught so that you learn to recognize and love Me and now also fulfil My commandments and thereby become blessed ....

Amen

Words of comfort .... Suffering - Illness .... Connection with God ....

B.D. 6124 from December 2nd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Always rely on Me and the fact that I will show you the right path. Even if it seems to you as if you determine your own destiny, as if you can use your will to turn your earthly life in another direction .... as long as you connect yourselves with Me, as long as you desire contact with Me, I shall guide you and you shall merely comply with My will which I likewise place into your heart, because your resolve to be in contact with Me enables Me to do so. Once someone has joined Me, once someone wants to be in contact with Me, he can stop worrying about his future destiny .... for this will develop such that his soul can derive benefit from everything and it will, indeed, do so if the human being faithfully entrusts himself to Me, if he voluntarily subordinates himself to Me and My guidance .... if he lives his life with Me, if he constantly bears Me in mind and makes an effort to gain My love .... Then he will also possess all My love which only wants his soul's salvation that consists of the attainment of eternal beatitude.

Believe Me that you then will only have to struggle in earthly life if you refuse to help voluntarily .... Hence you can be spared effort if you actively serve in neighbourly love .... yet suffering and disease can still contribute towards your soul's purification but it will nevertheless be bearable for you if you take refuge in Me .... I Am always available to you in all earthly and spiritual adversities, and it is My will that due to these you shall join Me ever more intimately until you are so firmly united with Me that I can constantly walk beside you and you are in continuous communication with Me .... that you are always aware of My presence .... and thus live a life in and with Me .... Everything you experience shall only contribute towards you forming an inseparable bond with Me, and then nothing will frighten or worry you again, for the awareness of My constant nearness gives you strength and security in everything you undertake .... And your will shall be My will because you utterly submit yourselves to My will and therefore can only want, think and act as is good before My eyes ....

Amen

Power and effect of the divine word ....

B.D. 6275 from June 4th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

Continue to strengthen yourselves with My word .... I cannot recommend this to you enough, for you will still need much strength and fortification in the coming time, you must first have come so far that you unite with Me so intimately that you always feel Me beside you, as it were, and that you therefore also present every adversity, every doubt and every question to Me immediately when they have seized you .... You must always feel Me present, then you will not fear whatever may come .... You let everything approach you calmly, always certain that I will take care of everything for you. And you can only attain this very strength of faith, this certainty, by constantly immersing yourselves in My word .... if you always let Me speak to you and therefore become ever more convinced of My presence, of My love and power .... then I am with you even when I am not visible to you .... And I am truly a safer protection for you than any human being on earth can ever be. If you therefore know yourselves to be under My protection, then all anxiety, all fear will be gone, you will hand yourselves over to Me in complete trust and will certainly not be abandoned, for I will not let you down. Let Me speak to you again and again .... and draw from My word the strength you need in the last time before the end .... Every day is still a reprieve for the people on earth who are still far from Me and shall also find Me .... But every day is also a reprieve for you, My faithful, because you can mature more every day and My word truly provides you with a treasure of grace which you need only use in order to reach a degree of maturity which will secure your entrance into paradise on the new earth. Only if you receive help directly from Me will you be able to survive the last time on earth and emerge victorious in the last battle .... And I will grant you this help in abundance, for the eternal deity Itself bends towards earth, It sends a ray of light into the darkness, and everyone who enters into its light can rise from this darkness .... The fact that the earth and the people living on it will have to endure all difficulties in the coming time will be fully compensated for by this unheard-of grace that I convey My word to people from above, for anyone who receives this word in his heart will be able to pass by all suffering and hardship almost unimpressed .... It will not affect him himself as it does all fellow human beings who have to experience this hardship for the very reason that they still have to find their way back to Me in order to reduce the far distance from Me .... And therefore I admonish you again and again to make right use of this unheard-of grace .... I admonish you to live out My word .... I warn you not to become indifferent or lukewarm .... for you will regret it if you are weak and helpless in the face of adversity, whereas My own, powerful and undaunted in their union with Me, feel constantly secure and master all opposition .... because I stand by them, because they call upon Me in full confidence and I always hear and answer their call .... With Me you will be able to overcome everything but without Me you will be at the mercy of every adversity, and if I keep calling upon you then also embrace Me with your love and never ever let Me leave you .... Let Me speak to you and thus prove My presence to you through My word .... and then you can calmly and confidently approach the future in which everything will happen as I have proclaimed, where the end will come and with it the Judgment ....

The process of Christ's return .... Ascension ....

B.D. 4847 from February 26th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

My return, My coming at the end of the world, is being doubted by those people whose faith is not entirely firm. And yet, they would be able to recognise the individual phases of the end time and also perceive My presence simply by being observant. 'I will remain with you always until the end of time ....' These Words alone should be sufficient for you to form a correct idea of My return. The fact that I Am not visibly in your midst should therefore allow you to understand the spiritual meaning of My Words. I Am staying with My Own until the end of the world. For, since My ascension to heaven, I have been present to them at all times and everywhere .... For I said: I will remain with you .... Hence I was spiritually always with My Own and will remain with them until the end of time .... However, in those days I informed people of My return, of My coming in the clouds. Consequently, this return should be understood such that people will be able to see Me, just as My disciples saw Me ascend to heaven. Spiritually I Am indeed always with you humans if you prove yourselves worthy of My presence. But I will return bodily, albeit not in My earthly body, yet nevertheless visibly to those to whom I want to return .... But since I announced My return, you humans can also expect it with certainty if you believe My Word and belong to those who will experience the final end. I did not make this promise without reason before My ascension into heaven. I foresaw humanity's spiritual state during the last days, I also saw the tremendous adversity of the believers who want to remain faithful to Me and who will be put under extreme pressure, and I saw their struggle, the most severe battle people will have to fight for the sake of My name .... I saw their will and the great danger of having to stand firm amid devils. For this reason I promised to them My personal help, which I will indeed render when the time has come. I Myself will come to My Own and support them in the last battle. And thus many may be able to behold Me, for I will always be present where the adversity is immense and My Own need Me .... they will see Me as a human being of flesh and blood, yet not born of a woman, instead I will come from above and clothe Myself with a visible form for you, so that you will be able to endure Me .... And everyone beholding Me will be permeated by strength and survive the last battle on earth .... But then I will come in the clouds in order to fetch My Own home into the kingdom of peace. This coming will take place in the same way but in reverse to the order through which My ascension to heaven happened. I will descend to earth in radiant light .... yet enshrouded by clouds in order to be visible to you .... and gather My Own in order to save them from utmost adversity and distress on part of the underworld's demons as well as from the ultimate act of destruction to which everything alive in, on and above the earth will fall prey. However, this coming in the clouds will also only be visible to those who belong to My Own, for My adversary's followers will be unable to see Me. It will be a spiritual return and yet also physically perceptible, but only by those who are spiritually reborn, who have a profound and living faith and therefore also accept both My constant presence until the end of the world as well as My visible return without doubt, because they are taught by their heart, the spiritual spark in the person, and consequently belong to those with whom I will remain until the end of time .... They believe that I will come back and I will not disappoint their faith ....

Visible presence of Jesus ....

B.D. 7713 from September 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

"Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them ...." I have promised you My presence and I stand by My word: I am with you who make Me the content of your thoughts, who love Me and therefore also desire the bond with Me. And where I am present My spirit will certainly become effective, and you will all be of one spirit because I Myself guide your thoughts and express Myself through your mouth. I am in your midst .... but I require your loving remembrance of Me .... you shall gather in My Name; I, your God and father, your Jesus, will be the aim of all of you, I will be the one who fills your heart, and My name you shall pronounce in faith, in reverence and love .... And I will be in the midst of you, and thus you can be certain of My presence and present all questions to Me which occupy you .... I will answer them through My spirit. I still dwell on earth, only not in the flesh as I once did, yet in spirit I am with everyone who longs for My presence .... But I can also appear to you visibly if this is advisable for you, if I can help you or strengthen you in great spiritual or earthly adversity .... Perhaps not everyone will be able to see Me if their degree of maturity does not allow for spiritual vision. Or I will come unnoticed and also leave again, and you will ask yourselves why you feel exceedingly blessed .... you will need some time until it becomes clear to you what you were allowed to experience .... But you will always experience great spiritual strengthening and burn with ever increasing love for Me, because you already have love within yourselves otherwise you would not have been allowed to behold Me. And you should rejoice when you have such an experience, for then you will know that the father leans down to His children in order to reveal Himself to them. But there will only ever be a few who can bear Me and My visible presence, even though I appear in a simple garment and leave all fullness of light behind so as not to blind you who still walk on the dark earth. But where a light has already been kindled, there I can appear visibly without danger for their souls. And the hardship will befall you in such a way that you will need heavenly strengthening in order to be able to withstand it. And I Myself will bring this to you .... and you should not doubt it, for I gave you the promise: "Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them ...." and who will hinder Me if I allow one or the other to see Me? .... Therefore always think of Me with heartfelt love and wait for My coming, which is very easily possible even before the time. For whatever happens is based on My love and wisdom and shall only ever serve the maturing of your souls, which I want to draw to Myself in ardent love and which are often so weak that they shall be exceptionally strengthened, which My appearance will also achieve. And thus always keep My promise and live in the awareness of My presence when you come together to exchange spiritual information, and I will be with you because the father longs for His children and also wants to make them happy with His presence ...._>Amen

Behold, I am with you on all the days ....

B.D. 5480 from September 5th 1952, taken from Book No. 60

Behold, I am with you always until the end of the world .... I will not leave you humans alone because I know that you then would be lost, because you alone are incapable of fulfilling your earthly task .... I descended to earth because I knew from eternity that you were defenseless at the mercy of the one whose will called you into life by using divine power and because I wanted to help you against his bondage. I ascended into heaven again, as a human being I had to leave you, I could not remain with you humans in a bodily form forever but I promised you My Spirit which would remain with you until the end of the world .... I may no longer be amongst you physically but I am always and constantly with you spiritually so that you need never feel abandoned by the One Who can be a true helper for you in every adversity. Call upon Me so that you consciously put yourselves under My protection and also remain aware of My presence always, and you will master every earthly and spiritual adversity, for you will then do it together with Me and I will accompany you on every step, you will never be alone .... provided you don't want to be alone, and it is entirely up to you whom you want to join, Me or My adversary .... He will always be with you, he will harass you or lure you towards him .... But I am always ready to offer you protection against him, if that’s what you want. But since your will is decisive I will not visibly intervene if he oppresses you, instead, I will await your call which has to be sent up to Me in spirit and in truth in order to always be heard. I am with you until the end of the world .... What a comforting promise lies in these words that you need never feel lonely, that you will never be abandoned by the Power Who can and also wants everything because It loves you .... Who only waits for your call to make you happy with Its presence and to give you what you need .... Light and strength, love and grace in abundance ....

Amen
