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.

Declaration required by the mission of Jesus ....

B.D. 5789 from October 14th 1953, taken from Book No. 63

You people must be given information in the right way, then you will not refuse the doctrines, that are presented to you about Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world .... The problem of His incarnation and His death on the cross is so extremely difficult to understand, if it is put down only as a historical fact, because then the way of behaving of the man Jesus is incomprehensible for you, because you will not understand, what this incarnation and death on the cross is based, and then you are tended to deny a mission for all mankind. But if the reason is given to you truthfully, then you learn to understand the redemptive work of Christ .... And then you adapt yourselves differently to that than before. That people lack the knowledge about it, is not because, that the truth would have been withheld them so far .... it is only because, that the people have made themselves incapable for receiving such knowledge, that they consider purely more wordly the life and death of Jesus Christ, that they are more indifferent to learn about the truth. As well as God finds only the slightest question about it in a human, He gives him enlightenment too, but only rarely man asks that question and calls for it, to obtain information about the human Jesus, Who shall be accepted as God .... And yet the belief is absolutely necessary, if the man wants to put himself also into the blessing of the redemptive work .... This is why God gives people an enlightenment, that they could accept well, if they strove for the truth earnestly .... God gives, what people do not demand more of themselves, He hands out that, by which people have deficiency. He gives them a knowledge, that could give light to people with good will, that means knowledge for them, if they just accept it .... He tries to make people understand Jesus’ work of love, that there were not earthly or worldly motives, that let the man Jesus so live and suffer and die, but a spiritual cause based on His earthly life .... to avert an unimaginable distress of the souls of men, that extended over eternal times and only the love of a man could remedy it .... People need to know the spiritual cause, if the redemptive work of Jesus Christ should be judged rightly and the graces of which should be accepted. People must know, that they go to meet an unimaginably painful condition, if they do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as savior, and then they do not even belong to the redeemed, for whom the man Jesus Christ died on the cross .... they should know, that it is not the same, whether they acknowledge Him or not .... And to be able to recognize Him, they should be introduced in the truth .... They should be taught in a right way by God Himself, what the son of man moved, to take a superhuman suffering upon Himself, which ended with His death on the cross ....

Amen

Lucifer, the first-created spirit from God and his case

First created being .... Light bearer .... Apostasy from God ....

B.D. 5612 from February 28th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Your human intellect is only able to understand profound truth to a certain degree, because pure spirituality is only spiritually explainable. This explanation will be accepted by the spirit within you and indeed also passed on via the soul to the intellect, but the intellect is still too earthly minded and therefore cannot delve so deeply into spiritual knowledge to understand everything. Nevertheless, My spirit expresses itself through the spiritual spark within you, and anyone who has love will also understand the meaning of what I say to him:

My creative will was immense, My strength inexhaustible, and I found My bliss in the implementation of My thoughts and plans. And this bliss wanted to express itself, My love wanted to give itself, I wanted another being beside Me to also enjoy what made Me indescribably happy. I experienced My solitude as a lack which I could change any time if I wanted to .... And I wanted to re-discover Myself in a being that should be closely united with Me, which I wanted to shape as a mirror of Myself, as My own image, to be able to bestow it with unlimited bliss and thereby increase My bliss too. I wanted to create such a being and this will sufficed, because My will was strength and always proceeded with love and wisdom. The entity I externalised from within Myself was indeed My image yet it could not see Me, had it been able to see Me it would have ceased to exist due to its beatitude, since no being could endure to behold Me. For every being, even the most perfect image of Myself, is always just a product of My strength of love, whereas I Am the strength of love Myself and enlighten everything with incomparable intensity but, as a result, I could not be endured by the being I had externalised. Yet by creating this being I had a vessel into which the strength of My love could flow continually, and thus it also received My creative will, My strength, My wisdom and My love beyond measure with this constant influx of strength from Me. As a result, it was now able to experience the same bliss, it was able to use its strength in accordance with its own will, it could be creatively active for its own pleasure and thus constantly increase My bliss, because it was My strength which enabled the being to do so and I took pleasure in its happiness ....

And now countless other beings of the same nature emerged from this being .... They all were children of My love in radiating light, in utmost perfection, because from the image I created of Myself and My infinite love could only ever emerge utmost perfection, because we shared the same will. Both our love found itself again in the created beings, because nothing imperfect existed as long as My will and My love worked through this first created being. It was an enlightened world of spirits, there were a great number of originally created spirits .... The strength from Me flowed unrestricted to the being which I had chosen for Myself as the bearer of light and strength .... And the entity itself was more than blissfully happy .... Yet I wanted to increase this bliss even more; I did not want it to be tied to My will but it should be active of its own will which .... if the being was perfect and remained so .... was My will. For the being, having been created by Me, was incapable of having any other will. But I wanted it to be able to act independently .... because the only characteristic of a divine being is that love is so powerful within itself that it is the decisive factor for the same direction of will as mine. I wanted to receive this love from My first created being which, however, was intended to result in its ultimate perfection at the same time, so that it was no longer active as a created being in accordance with My will but should enjoy unlimited bliss by merging with My will for love of Me ....

But in order to pass this test of love and will it had to have complete freedom of will. It did not see Me but it recognised Me because it was enlightened .... However, it saw the countless beings created by its will, and it felt itself as their creator in spite of knowing that it had received its strength from Me .... And the entity was envious of My strength .... Although it was visible to the beings it had created, it was nevertheless conscious of its origin from Me, but it claimed the right to rule these beings for itself by presenting itself to them as the source of strength, as the only power able to create .... It more than less denied to love Me in order to rule .... You humans cannot understand the process by which a self-aware being could transgress into completely wrong reasoning but this is explained by free will which, in order to become active, must also be able but does not have to make a negative choice.

The bearer of light and strength saw on the one side the evidence of strength conveyed through him, yet he did not see the source of strength itself. Thus he declared himself ruler over his created spirits and also tried to portray Me as non-existent to them. He tried to transfer his now opposing will on to them .... And now the moment of decision, of proving their perfection, also came for the beings who had been created by the bearer of light with the use of My strength .... My strength was inherent in all these beings, they were fully enlightened and aglow with love for Me, Whom they could not see but nevertheless recognise. But they also loved their creator, because the strength that had created them was love which had emanated from the first created being and enabled it to create. This love now had to make a choice, and it divided itself ....

Terrible confusion occurred amongst the spirits who felt urged to make a decision. But .... since My strength of love was effectively light .... it was understandable that the urge towards the primary source of strength was stronger in many beings, that their love diminished for the one who separated from Me and pushed towards Me with increased force .... For the light within them was the realisation that I was Eternal Love. Every being had this knowledge indeed, but it also had free will which did not depend on knowledge, or it would not have been free. And the spiritual world divided itself .... The externalised being had its followers just as I had Mine, even though I was not visible. But the effect of My strength was so powerful that many beings turned away from the one who wanted to oppose Me .... Their will remained in the right direction, whereas the bearer of light and his followers directed their will wrongly, thus they volitionally separated from Me and this caused their fall into the abyss ....

Thus the light bearer, the fully illuminated being externalised by Me, became My adversary, whereas everything that had emerged from him, that was created by both our love, partly turned towards Me and partly towards him, depending on the glow of love by which it was permeated. As soon as the bearer of light separated from Me the beings experienced an undefined desire for a definite pole. Free will began to unfold itself .... neither I nor My adversary influenced them forcefully, they were merely exposed to both our emanation of strength which wanted to gain every being for itself. The flow of My strength was pure love and affected the beings so intensely that they recognised Me without seeing Me, but they could also recognise the first created beings' change of will. However, because they could see this entity many followed it, i.e. they subordinated themselves to its will and thus distanced themselves from Me. Yet other originally created beings felt themselves as My children and voluntarily remained loyal to Me, only they were far less in number. These were the first created beings who arose from My light bearer's most blissful creative will and My immense influx of strength of love. And this strength of love was inherent in these beings too and persistently pushed them towards Me, for they recognised their creator's present will as wrong and therefore turned away from him. The other beings could have come to this realisation too yet they blindly followed the one they could see, and their will was respected and in no way influenced by Me, because this decision of will had to take place in order to shape the created beings to independent perfection. The being which left Me drew a large number of followers into the abyss, for to distance oneself from Me means to strive towards the abyss, to aim towards a completely opposite state, which thus signifies darkness and weakness, loss of knowledge and strength. Whereas My children blissfully remained in the most radiant light and immense strength, in beatitude.

After the fall of Lucifer, the light bearer, his strength was defeated .... He could no longer actively create and shape although I did not withdraw the strength from him because he was My living creation. His power and strength rested in his followers, whom he now dominated as prince of darkness. But they are also the products of My love which I will not leave to My adversary forever. As long as these beings still share his will they belong to him; but as soon as I succeed in turning their will towards Me he has lost them, and thus his strength diminishes at the same rate as I release his prisoners from his control which, however, always presupposes the being's free will.

And this is the purpose of My eternal plan of Salvation, which is eagerly and most lovingly supported by all inhabitants of the kingdom of light, by My angels and archangels, for they all are My helpers who endeavour to bring bliss again to their fallen brothers, who once voluntarily threw it away .... And this work of liberation will succeed, even if it takes an infinitely long time before the last once-fallen spirit returns to Me, until even the first created being that came forth from My love draws closer to Me again in its longing for My love .... until this too repentantly returns to the Father's house, which it once left voluntarily ....

Amen

Act of creating the spiritual beings ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Rejecting the strength of love was the 'sin' ....

B.D. 8880 from November 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

If you are spoken to from above it is a sign of My never-ending love which takes pity upon humanity and wants to come to their aid .... And this love will always and forever apply to you, for you are also part of Me, even though you followed My adversary into the abyss of your own free will. Nevertheless, your fundamental nature is love. And I will not rest until you have changed yourselves into your fundamental nature again. So if you are now spoken to from above you will also recognise by My address that it can only be the work of a good power, for I only ever endeavour to cultivate love in you and to refer you to Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, since then you will travel the right path which results in your change while you are still on this earth. Hence you should not doubt the origin of that which comes to you from above .... Its content cannot be anything but good, and thus it must be free from error .... For you are taught by the Eternal Truth Itself and can be completely confident that It will not offer you misguided teachings. But during the last days this assurance is absolutely essential, for it is even intended to make My light bearers doubt the truthfulness of their messages. Yet let it be sufficient for you to know that I Myself protect My bearers of light from all errors. For who else can give you the guarantee for pure truth if not I Myself, Who knows their will and their desire for truth? Time and again I say to you that the adversary's working is especially aimed at those of you who want to spread the light .... that he intends to prevent this and therefore avails himself of all means in order to cast doubts into people's hearts regarding the truthfulness of these proclamations .... Yet My influence, too, will become more and more evident. I will ever more obviously highlight the error he has pushed you into, for his aim is to prevent you from knowing the truth .... although he will not succeed with those who genuinely desire the truth. And thus everyone must seriously scrutinise himself as to whether he desires the pure truth .... in that case he cannot be misled anymore; he will recognise it and liberate himself from error. The moment of creation was an act of incomparable bliss for Myself as well as for My bearer of light, for the products of his will and My strength of love were so extraordinarily magnificently shaped that they made both of us indescribably happy so that the light bearer's love for Me flared up ever brighter. For the same creative power was inherent in them .... they were able to take pleasure in it and likewise actively fashion spiritual creations, thereby raising their blissful happiness beyond measure. If I therefore state the fact that these created beings did not lack anything, that they were all externalised in My image and that they were able to work and be creatively active as long as they were permeated by My light of love .... then it must also be obvious to you that they forfeited their activity when they rejected this flow of My strength of love .... that they thereby lost their light, their realisation, so that their thinking became confused and they were no longer capable of being active .... that they hardened but were nevertheless My once emanated strength which I therefore reshaped into creations of the most varied kinds ....

This process has been described to you so often already and you can accept this as the purest truth, you can unhesitatingly accept that only the rejection of My strength of love was the sin against Me, since the brightest light was kindled in them in which they were entirely aware of the implications of their rebellion. Consequently, I will also highlight the misguided notion of any portrayal that I determined or caused the fall of the bearer of light as well as the fallen beings. All beings acted according to My will until they rejected the flow of My strength of love. But this also resulted in the hardening of the spiritual substance .... and the strength I once emanated as a being had to become active in different ways, which happened through the dissolution of the substance into tiny particles and thus Creation emerged from these. Only from then on did the being have to fight against all kinds of obstacles, since it had to overcome them in order to develop higher again. The activity of the non-fallen beings consisted of using the strength flowing from Me to them .... but these beings were in a state of brightest enlightenment .... hence in a state of realisation .... and therefore these beings used nothing else but what was according to My will .... As long as the being remained faithful to Me it worked and created in My will. But when it turned away from Me it lost the strength for creating and shaping. It hardened and remained inactive .... which then resulted in the emergence of Creation. I certainly knew from the very beginning that Lucifer and the beings would fall and, for sake of his free will, I did not stop him. Nevertheless, I took no part in it because I had granted the bearer of light .... Lucifer .... the same power, and neither did I limit it, so that he was able to do anything he wanted to do .... And so it was possible for him to persuade the beings to fall away from Me in order to create a second world, in a manner of speaking, a world in complete opposition to Me .... Yet all this was only possible by closing himself .... and afterwards also his followers .... to the flow of My strength of love .... So the rejection of My strength of love was the actual sin, for it was aimed against Me Myself, since the beings were utterly enlightened regarding their past origin from Me. The fact that the beings' thinking ability expressed itself in a completely opposite will to Mine, that it gave rise to something utterly adverse to God, did not originate from Me, however, the rejection of My strength of love resulted in this wrong direction of will because it signified spiritual darkness, spiritual blindness. From then on Lucifer became My direct opposite who was able to transfer all evil thoughts .... which originated from himself .... onto the beings. For from the moment they consciously rejected My love he gained full control over these beings and kept it until I let Creation arise in order to snatch them from his power and to inaugurate the process of return.

But then the beings had to travel a painful path until they .... in the stage of self-awareness and free will as a human being .... were able to dispel all their wrong thoughts, completely change their will and utterly deify themselves again. Thus they must discard everything of a satanic nature and, of their own free will, strive towards the divine. This alone already proves that evil cannot originate from Me or I could not be called divine, since only good can be understood by it .... that light and darkness cannot exist at the same time, that I do not incorporate love and hate .... in short, all opposites within Myself. The free will was indeed able to choose between Me or My adversary, but he was already evil when he became My adversary .... and then also created everything that was in opposition to Me .... as he was a power like I Myself was .... with the exception that he had a beginning. The worst deception used by My adversary is to make you believe that everything of an evil nature originates from Me as well. This is why I repeatedly draw your attention to the fact that the actual sin was .... the rejection of My strength of love, because this caused the state of confusion in the beings .... the state in which they refused every kind of activity according to My will and therefore were dissolved and bound in all kinds of creations. For it is the law of eternity that My emanated strength must become active .... that this strength must voluntarily be requested again in order to enable the re-transformation into a perfect being. That these implanted thoughts in the being originate from Lucifer and thus must be fought against during the time of embodiment as a human being has, through My love, become the process which is intended to turn the 'creatures' into God's true 'children'. And thus Lucifer unwittingly takes an active part in this process of return, which I certainly foresaw from the beginning but I Myself have not destined him to become My direct opposite, because he, too, was a free being which came forth from Me in all perfection ....

Amen

All beings were completely equal

God only created beings of equal perfection .... I.

B.D. 8797 from April 3rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I only emanated one being .... Lucifer, the bearer of light .... whom I created for Myself in order to give Myself and My love to him, and which therefore was shaped in My image which came forth from Me in supreme perfection, which arose before Me as a thought and already existed in its abundance of light and strength .... as could not otherwise be possible because nothing imperfect could emerge from Me. I created this being for My own happiness, because My fundamental nature is love and love constantly wants to give pleasure, but prior to this no spiritual being existed which was able to receive My love. It was a mirror image of Myself, I saw Myself in My externalised being, it was, to some extent, My second Self, which likewise unified love, wisdom and might within itself so that it could not be anything else but I Myself, and which therefore was also inexpressibly happy because it was constantly infused by My strength of love. I wanted an identical being next to Me because My creative strength made Me exceedingly happy and I wanted to provide a being with the same happiness in order to take pleasure in its bliss. My fundamental substance is love, and this love, in turn, is strength. My strength of love was unable to remain inactive and constantly brought spiritual creations into being. Yet no-one apart from Me was able to take pleasure in these creations and this motivated Me to create a likeness of Myself .... a being which had the same nature as I Myself, with the difference that it had a beginning, whereas I Am everlasting. I enjoyed beatitudes beyond measure by radiating My strength of love into My created being which then, permeated by the same strength of love, also wanted to be creatively active and was able to do so because it was completely free. It was utterly absorbed in My love, a constant exchange of love took place, for the love I gave was returned to Me by the being in the same way. The being was fond of Me and totally engrossed with Me. And that resulted in unimpeded illumination with love, unimpeded illumination with strength which wanted to become active. And since the creation of the first spirit of light had given Me extreme happiness, its bliss also consisted of the creation of the same beings .... thus from both of our strength of love a countless host of the same beings emerged, which were all supremely perfect and exceedingly blissful. This process has already been explained to you though My revelations. And yet you keep asking questions as to who really was the creator of the elevated and highest beings of light, because in your state as a human being you already have a different concept of the originally created spirit of light, since you are no longer in possession of full realisation as a result of sin.

However, you forget that all original spirits have their origin in Me and the bearer of light .... that the latter used My strength for the creation of all spiritual beings .... that you therefore came forth from Me and from him, but his will used My strength which flowed to him without restriction. And therefore you will also understand that the bearer of light had an exceptional position, because he was the only one who was called into life by Me. Although he certainly lost his strength and power through his apostasy from Me, he lost his realisation and fell into the deepest abyss, he is nevertheless still the same originally created spirit, which is now as active as a direct opposite as he was formerly devoted to Me with burning love and enjoyed supreme beatitudes. All other fallen beings were dissolved in their fundamental substance, the once emanated strength was reshaped into the most manifold creations. The bearer of light, however, having lost all light, remained the being he was from the start, he merely turned into the opposite, so that he became My opposite pole and now serves Me as an opposite pole in the return of the fallen spiritual beings. For these spiritual beings had once been put to the test to acknowledge Me or him, and they followed him and became lost. And now they will be tested time and again, for My existing adversary insists on his claim on the fallen beings, just as I will not surrender them since they emerged from My strength of love, but the being itself makes the decision. My adversary asserts his rights and influences the beings in a negative sense, while I try to win the beings over for Me through influencing them in a positive way. And countless beings support Me; they, too, were created by him but they recognised Me as the source of strength from which he also originated. And they have remained in beatitude because they still receive My strength of love continuously and are active in a creative and shaping way. However, self-aware beings were only externalised by Me and the bearer of light in unison, and these self-aware beings will indeed continue to exist forever. Only the once fallen beings lost their self-awareness for a certain period of time in order to be able to accomplish the ascent from the abyss again in a dissolved state. But they will receive their self-awareness again as soon they have to pass their final test of will as a human being. But My spiritual adversary must be taken into account at all times, for he remained what he was .... and he will continue to remain who he is for infinitely long periods of time; even so, one day he will change his nature again and reshape himself into love, and he, too, will be blissfully happy without limitation again. Then My love will permeate him again, as it was in the beginning.

Amen

God only created beings of equal perfection .... II.

B.D. 8798 from April 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

(Continuation of no. 8797)

However, after the creation of My first being of light nothing of inferior value emerged from Me Myself and this being of light. Your human thinking is still limited because you are not perfect yet, and thus the thought occurred to you that the beings, having emerged from our mutual love, cannot be put on par with the first-created being. But this thought is misguided, because it was the same strength and the same will of love which brought them to life, therefore there were only ever supremely perfect beings .... true images of Myself .... You humans indeed compare your fellow human beings, you can detect more mature and immature traits of nature, consequently you also assume that you can make such evaluations regarding the originally created beings. But surely you understand that such valuations are not appropriate concerning the creations which came forth from Me and My love. All creations of a spiritual nature were only of the highest perfection, and in particular the created beings were of supreme perfection. The fact that part of them nevertheless fell does not entitle you to assume that these 'fallen' beings were less perfect and fell because their creator Lucifer, due to his recurring rejection of My strength of love, had created inferior beings. For even a number of the first beings which were created by our will of love followed him when he turned away from Me and proceeded towards the abyss. Nor did the individual beings' strength of will differ; it was, however, free .... and that explains everything. For freedom knows no limitations, and a free will must be able to develop in all directions. The individual beings' wrong thinking is the second explanation for the fall. The ability to think also allowed for wrong thinking, to wrongly interpret My Word which the beings, due to their constant illumination of love, heard within themselves. They were not compelled to interpret the Word only in one direction .... by virtue of their faculty of thought they were also able to apply a different meaning to it and so they did when they rejected My love, for thereby they also lost their power of perception and their thinking became confused. In addition, the limitless flow of strength of love made them arrogant, so that in their abundance of strength they believed themselves to have the same power, so that their love for their Creator therefore diminished and the being more or less made demands .... which was demonstrated by their desire to visibly present Myself to the beings .... They believed themselves to be entitled to it, and this wrong way of thinking was transferred on to them by My first-created being. It expressed this desire despite the fact of knowing full well that it had to remain unfulfilled were My created beings to continue to exist. Thus it can certainly not be said that any of the fallen beings has merely been a victim of its creator's will, for every single being had the right of self-determination and was also in possession of brightest realisation. But every fallen being became spiritually arrogant and forgot, or refused to acknowledge, that it had originated from Me .... that I therefore had been its Creator and Father, against Whom its revolt was the worst sin which the being would never ever be able to redeem by itself again. All beings were created in equal perfection, and the fact that a number of equally created beings remained loyal to Me is already proof in itself of a greater than greater guilt .... they only did not relinquish their love for Me .... whereas those which had 'fallen' rejected My love, and this was their immense original sin which was subsequently intended to be redeemed by One Who belonged to the beings which remained faithful to Me. The fallen beings cannot be excused by some kind of imperfection, with lacking perception, less illumination or a weak will. They had the same nature as those who remained loyal to Me, yet in awareness of their immeasurable strength they arrogantly no longer accepted My strength of love and were thereby also deprived of all strength. They must laboriously gain strength again if they want to become what they were in the beginning. Any kind of imperfection would have been an excuse for a being's apostasy, but this did not exist, and when Lucifer saw the countless multitudes of created beings in brightest illumination and supreme strength which had emerged from his will by using My strength he exalted himself above Me because he was unable to behold Me, but he himself was visible in his magnificence to the countless multitudes of spirits.

However, untold original spirits remained faithful to Me, they were created to be exactly the same as the fallen spirits and not advantaged by Me in any way, they merely returned their infinite love to Me which permeated them and which they constantly received from Me and thus became increasingly more blissful, whereas the love of the fallen beings became a selfish love which no longer wanted to please but only wanted to take. This process is and will remain inexplicable to you humans because it was a spiritual process which can only be understood by the spirit; nevertheless, the circumstances which motivated Me into bringing the material world and its creations into being can be roughly explained to you, and time and again I will try to enlighten you, as far as your intellect is able to grasp it, and correct any misguided opinion, since one single misguided thought is already enough for you to construct a wrong edifice of ideas which you will no longer be able to dismantle and yet you will be far removed from the truth. You would also do well not to brood over things which are irrelevant for your soul's salvation .... which only show some kind of craving for knowledge, the satisfaction of which does not contribute in the slightest towards attaining full maturity of soul. For what you need to know will be conveyed to you by Me, yet always on condition that your own maturity of soul will determine the measure I hand out ....

Yet you shall always know that I Am supremely perfect, that everything is based on My love, wisdom and might and that no imperfections can be present when this bond with Me exists. And this existed at the creation of the beings, for the being I externalised .... the bearer of light .... was most intimately devoted to Me and was therefore able to receive boundless beatitudes through the influx of My strength of love. And it used this strength of love again in accordance with My will, because its will was in line with Mine as long as we were united by deepest love. Every act of creation, however, necessitates the flow of My strength of love, and therefore every created being had to be called perfect when it was brought into life. The fact that it then changed into the opposite and became an imperfect being was purely the result of its free will, which was the same as Mine as long as the being's love belonged to Me. When it resisted My love it had to leave the eternal order and continued to possess brightest illumination until it decided to turn away from Me for good. Only then did it lose its realisation, only then its spirit darkened, and only then did it become My opposite. It was no longer a divine being but adopted all the qualities of the one who first revoked his love for Me and became My adversary. Henceforth it forfeited its perfection, it became poorly shaped and was hostile minded towards Me, My strength of love was no longer able to touch it, and thus all spiritual substances hardened which I subsequently reshaped into material creations .... into the complete opposite which it had been in the very beginning. Nevertheless, this fallen spiritual being always has the opportunity to regain its original state if it is willing to abandon its resistance to Me and once again voluntarily allows itself to be illuminated by My strength of love. The apostasy from Me happened out of free will, and the return to Me must therefore also take place out of free will. Then the being will be and remain infinitely happy again ....

Amen

Reason for Jesus’ mission

Occasion and purpose of the descent of Jesus ....

B.D. 6438 from December 29th 1955, taken from Book No. 69

The core of Christ's teaching is the commandment of love, because people lack love and love is nevertheless the most important thing if your upward development is to progress .... if the soul wants to find entrance into the kingdom of light at the end of earthly life .... That is why God Himself came to earth in the man Jesus, in order to show them for the time being the way, which leads back to Him, which forms the being again in such a way, as it came out of God once .... The man Jesus taught love and lived it Himself to the people. Through His life of love, the man Jesus also proved to people the attainment of perfection, He proved to them that it is possible to come into a state through love which makes the union with God possible and thus brings in light and power in abundance. For He was as man the same as every other man. What led Him to the union with God, what brought Him the power to work miracles, what gave Him light-full recognition and deepest wisdom .... was only the love, which glowed in Him overpoweringly to God and to His fellow human beings .... And for the first time He wanted to make this love the most important thing for people, that they should do like Him, that they should follow Him in their way of life, in order to reach again the former perfection, which they had once lost in the spiritual world through their apostasy from God .... But mankind was heavily burdened by this former apostasy from God .... A sin debt weighed on it, from which the man Jesus was free .... a guilt of sin, which also pulled down the willing people again and again, which also gave another lord the right to prevent the ascent .... a lord who was opposed to Jesus, who was completely devoid of love and who therefore prevented the people, who had become his property through the fall of man, from acting in love wherever possible .... The love teaching of Christ could have been accepted but not lived out by men as long as they were still under the power of him who had once been responsible for their fall. And so his power had to be broken first, people had to be freed from him first, it had to be made possible for them to go the way up, someone had to help them .... because they were too weak on their own, even if they were of good will .... The burden had to be lifted from the people that kept them chained to their jailer .... And this burden, the guilt of sin of their former rebellion against God .... they could not bear or pay off themselves, because it was immense and would have eternally prevented them from ascending to God .... Therefore Jesus took this mission upon Himself, for the people .... for His fallen brothers .... to wipe out the guilt, to atone for it and to redeem people from the power of the adversary. For Jesus was likewise a being that came forth from God's love, like His brother Lucifer .... and He recognized, as an angelic spirit remaining with God, the great misery of the fallen and the impossibility of getting rid of this misery by his own strength, if help was not brought to him .... And His exceeding great love offered itself for this help: To embody itself on earth in the man Jesus and to serve the eternal deity as a cover .... the eternal love, which wanted to redeem that guilt of sin through a work of atonement, which it brought to execution in the man Jesus .... Only after the work of redemption was it possible for people to become free and to rise out of darkness, through love work, through living out the teaching which Jesus preached on earth. Because before men would not have been able to do this, because they were still bound, because their will was so weakened by the burden of sin that they would have sunk back again and again through the influence of the adversary. The souls belonged to Him, and voluntarily He would never have given them up, but Jesus paid the debt through His suffering and death on the cross .... The divine love, which had embodied itself in the man Jesus, redeemed the guilt itself, and people became free .... as soon as they acknowledge Jesus as the divine redeemer and also claim His work of mercy for themselves .... as well as they believe that God in Jesus has taken care of people in order to make the way of return to Him possible for them .... as well as they now also live in the following of Jesus, as well as they lead a life in love and shape themselves again to what they were in the beginning .... beings filled with light and power, who united with God through love ....

Amen

Was Jesus' soul already incarnated before God's human manifestation? ....

B.D. 8750 from February 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Time after time I want to reveal My love for you by introducing you to knowledge which will make you very happy, because like a bright light it will unveil things to you which previously were obscured by darkness .... and because your degree of awareness will be raised again, which also signifies a maturing of the soul. For love always will and has to be the foundation for the conveyance of My Word, I could not address you if a certain degree of love were not present, and thus this love will let the light of realisation shine ever more brightly within you. You are still occupied by questions which only I Am able to answer, because only I know the regions you wish to understand better:

All elevated, previously not-fallen spirits also incarnate on earth in order to take the path through the abyss for the purpose of attaining the highest goal .... the childship to God. And for this purpose they have to live on earth in the flesh, they embody themselves as a human being and live their earthly life just as every once fallen original spirit. They, too, have to struggle and resist all temptations with which they are confronted by My adversary's side .... Thus, they must have passed in truth 'through the abyss' in order to then .... when they are recalled .... return as a child of God to Me, their eternal Father .... And beings of light have descended at all times in order to help people who, as once fallen beings, should achieve their return to Me .... The light beings' love is very strong and profound so that they are always helpful and only ever intend to return My lost children to Me. And I do not stop them if they want to descend to earth in order to bring help, which is always needed. But the beings had always come from Me, permeated by My light of love they were living creations of utmost perfection who, with the same will as Mine, work with Me in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth when they descend for the purpose of a mission. No being of light will ever exclude itself from a mission of bringing light to the earthly inhabitants ....

And thus the soul .... which as the human being Jesus accomplished the act of Salvation on earth .... was also such a spirit of light who had initially emerged from Me as a light ray of love to which I gave independent life .... This spirit had accepted a unique mission because he had realised from the start that the fallen beings needed Him, because he realised from the start that the first human being would fail and that he, therefore, as the 'human being Jesus' wanted to help humanity .... He was indeed, from the start, also actively involved in the creation of the material world, for My will and strength flowed into all beings who had remained loyal to Me and who therefore were active as independent beings in infinity. This soul, too, had descended to earth (this soul, too, had already previously served Me as a spirit of light), and it established a connection between the people and God, that is, it came to people as a spirit of light and thus enabled Me Myself to audibly speak to people through this soul .... Hence this spirit of light served Me as a cover, nevertheless not physically, albeit certainly temporarily visible to people but not permanently, in as much as that He did not live on earth as a 'human being' but only worked amongst people apparently having the same physical substance, and yet he was and remained a spiritual being Which disappeared again from sight of those whom It helped through instructions and discourses.

Elevated beings of light indeed embodied themselves physically on earth too, and as representatives of Myself always also proclaimed My will to people, for it was necessary to provide them with the information about why and for what purpose they lived on earth in spiritual hardship. Nevertheless, a distinction has to be made between the earthly life of a being of light as a human being and the appearance of a spirit of light through whom I communicated Myself. In that case the spirit of light was not My visible external cover .... as was the case with the human being Jesus .... but he only served Me to proclaim My Word to people in a natural manner, for I could also have addressed people from above but then they would have lost their freedom of will .... Thus I always availed Myself of an external form which could either be a physical or a spiritual human being. However, the former lived his life on earth as a human being, whereas the latter was only temporarily visible to people because they urgently required My Word.

Consequently, if it is said that Jesus' soul had repeatedly incarnated before My human manifestation you should only ever assume a spiritual appearance when I Myself .... love .... wanted to express Myself to you humans and thus I chose a spiritual cover for Myself in order to manifest Myself to people. Whereas an embodiment of Jesus' soul in the flesh before My human manifestation did not take place, although I was also able to express Myself in the Word through a human being if he thus had descended to earth from the kingdom of light. Jesus' soul was chosen to enable My human manifestation on earth, and this soul was truly the most elevated spirit of light Who, as first-born Son, had emerged from Me .... that is, from My strength and the will of the one whom My greater than great love had externalised as first-created being. I Myself, as the Eternal Spirit God, manifested Myself only in Jesus, in this highest soul of light .... But it had already served Me as a spirit of light previously in order to enable Me to speak to people, who nevertheless had a high degree of maturity which enabled Me to send them such beings of light through which I Myself could address them directly.

But the fact that untold beings of light had also been embodied as human beings prior to this which likewise upheld people's contact to Me, which brought My Word to them, which, in a manner of speaking, lived on earth as a mouthpiece for Me, should be accepted as truth but should not lead to misguided notions, because Jesus' soul was chosen for My human manifestation, since it had offered itself from the start for this act of compassion in the awareness of the first human beings' failure ....

It is wrong to say that I as 'God' have already incarnated several times .... For My human manifestation in Jesus is and remains a unique act, which humanity is unable and even the world of light is only barely able to grasp, the likes of which has never before and will never be evidenced again afterwards. For Jesus was not one of many but He was the One Who was to become for you humans and for all beings in the kingdom of light the visible God, Whom I have chosen for Myself as cover which shall remain eternally visible ....

And this being had an exceptional status, for His love .... as the first spirit emanated by My and Lucifer's love .... was so immeasurably profound that only He could be considered for My human manifestation and thus a previous process as a human being on this earth was out of the question which, however, does not exclude that He, too, took part in creating the material world, for He knew about My plan of return and He always unreservedly accepted My will and as a being with an abundance of light and strength was also able to accomplish it. This being was so devoted to Me that it enabled the complete fusion with Me, that He and I had to be one, because I in Him and He in Me absorbed each other completely, and this therefore will unveil the secret of My human manifestation in Jesus the moment the being has attained the degree of light again that gives him brightest realisation ....

God sent His son to earth, Jesus, the first non-fallen original spirit

"God sent His son to earth .... "

B.D. 8263 from September 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I sent My son to earth .... A Being Which emerged from My eternal primal love, Which turned Its whole love towards Me when a great host of My originally created spirits fell away from Me, Which recognized Me as Its father of eternity although It could not see Me, wanted to prove Its greater than great love to Me by wanting to bring the apostate children back to Me through a work of a unique kind .... And because His love moved Him to do so, I allowed it, I gave My consent for this being to descend to earth, for It to go from the kingdom of light, where It was immeasurably blissful, into a dark region .... into the kingdom of My counter-spirit Lucifer, who was the first of the fallen beings to become My antipole. I sent My son to earth Who offered to serve Me Myself on earth as a cover because I wanted to bring help to all fallen beings in their great spiritual adversity. For their way back to Me had been cut off, they would have had to remain eternally at a great distance from Me in a state of endless torment and wretchedness .... But they were all My creatures which had come into being out of My love and might through the will of the first-created being .... Lucifer .... who originally found the greatest bliss in creating creatures using My strength .... That this original spirit, which I had put forth as My image, fell, I could well have prevented, but I did not .... for in My love and wisdom I foresaw a process of complete deification of the fallen beings with the ultimate goal of childship to God, which, however, had to be achieved by free will .... However, the will of the fallen beings was so weakened by the influence of My counter-spirit Lucifer that the beings were incapable of once again reaching up from the deepest depths if I had not given them help, which was now also given to them on My part by the being in a state of compulsion .... thus according to My will .... through the material creation .... But even then the beings were still completely powerless because they once rejected My strength of love and could only gain this strength for ascent through love .... However, they had become incapable of love .... In My overwhelming mercy I probably put in a spark of love in their last stage on the path of return to Me .... Nevertheless, the immense burden of original sin, of rebellion against Me as their God and father in the state of brightest knowledge, remained on each of the fallen original spirits, for it had to be redeemed according to the law of divine justice, atonement had to be made which these fallen beings could never make themselves .... And therefore an original spirit remaining with Me offered to accomplish this work of atonement on earth because His love for Me and for the fallen brothers was so immense that He was willing to take upon Himself everything that this work of atonement required in terms of pain and suffering .... For He wanted to walk the earth as a 'human being', He wanted to embody Himself in Jesus' human shell and walk a path of suffering which required utmost love and which also made the manifestation of the Eternal Deity Himself in Him possible .... For I could only be where love is .... I could only unite Myself with love and therefore choose a vessel for My dwelling which had completely shaped itself into love .... Jesus' soul indeed brought love for Me with it to earth, but the region it entered at His birth was Lucifer's kingdom, and the soul was oppressed by him, everything surrounding Him was Lucifer's share, and because He had taken on the task of carrying out a mission as a human being to save His fallen brothers, He was not allowed to use the strength of love which was at His disposal as 'My son' in order to defend Himself against the oppressor and to shake it off .... but He had to wrestle with His fellow human beings and redeem the oppressor through a life of love .... which was therefore not so easy to lead because the unspiritual tried to hinder Him and His human outer shell reacted in the same way to all temptations .... thus His soul had to fight against it until the love in Him broke through ever more strongly and He thereby also spiritualised His physical shell, thus His light of love shone ever brighter and He did what the adversary wanted to prevent Him from doing: .... that He endured superhuman suffering and death out of love, thus He opposed My enemy with love and defeated him through love.... that He satisfied My justice and paid the purchase price for the souls which the adversary could now no longer hold captive .... Love, then, accomplished this work of mercy, which completely filled Him, and this love was I Myself .... But 'My son' had to pass through this darkness, through Lucifer's kingdom, and therefore had to leave behind His light and strength, which He possessed as a non-fallen original spirit. He had to .... like every human being, start earthly life in the same weakness, for He was meant to show people the path which leads back to Me again .... the path of love and suffering, which truly the man Jesus preceded His fellow human beings and I was able to take abode in Him because His soul was not burdened by original sin and His love gave Him the strength to also spiritualise His human body, thus He passed through earthly life without any sin .... For sin is only that which violates love .... And since I place a spark of My divine love in every human heart, every human being is also capable of igniting love and fanning it into highest embers .... Thus nothing impossible is required of you humans, because only weakness of will can prevent you from working with love and you can always ask Jesus Christ to strengthen your will, because this is one of the blessings He acquired for you through His death on the cross. And you humans must make use of these blessings of the act of salvation so that His act of mercy will not have been offered to you in vain, so that you will recognize Me Myself in Jesus, Who took abode in His shell in order to redeem you from your guilt of sin ....

Amen

'God sent His Son to Earth ....'

B.D. 8537 from June 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Time and again it is explained to you that Jesus' soul came from the world of light to earth in order to embody itself in the man Jesus for the sake of a mission which required a pure soul, for God Himself wanted to take abode in this soul, and He was only able to do that in a pure soul without sin .... He sent His Son to earth .... Can there be a clearer word to confirm this? It was a non-fallen soul, as opposed to the human souls which have to take the long process of development through the creations and start their human embodiment in a very imperfect state .... But that does not rule out that Jesus' soul had to struggle and fight incredibly hard against everything unspiritual which besieged it from outside .... for His body was immature matter and, due to the adversary's influence, the soul was badly besieged by these unredeemed substances .... All earthly passions clung to the body and its instincts, which still adhered to the body as part of the very immature substances, demanded gratification. Jesus' soul came to earth in a completely pure state, yet untold immature beings clung to it which the soul was not permitted to shake off; instead, it needed to pacify and mature them. Jesus, the man, was also inundated by external immature substances, his environment so affected His soul that it had to endure the same inner battles a fallen soul has to endure, and therefore it is untrue that because of His perfect soul it had been easier for the man Jesus to accomplish this act of Salvation .... On the contrary .... because it was pure and without sin .... His soul suffered far more in the immature environment, His pure soul reacted exceedingly sensitively towards sin, towards everything that due to the adversary's influence inundated Him on part of his fellow human beings .... The darkness which the soul of light had to stay in caused it indescribable pain and yet, it was filled by burning love for this sinful human race and wanted to redeem it from sin and death. So although everything of a satanic nature crowded Jesus soul, it nevertheless did not succeed in making Jesus Himself fall into sin. He withstood all temptations, He fought against His adversary as well as against everything unspiritual pestering Him .... His love for His brothers in need did not diminish and He also succeeded in spiritualising his body's unspiritual substances through love, which constantly increased, and so filled the man Jesus that the Eternal Love Itself took possession of Him, Which would never have been able to manifest itself in a sinful soul without causing it to perish .... Why won't you humans accept these Words 'He sent His Son to earth ....'? That which comes from Him is perfect and thus it is said 'He came down to earth' and not 'He ascended from the abyss ....' Although Jesus' soul was surrounded by satanic elements to a great extent, they approached His soul from outside and His soul nevertheless resisted them and did not allow itself to fall as God's adversary had intended .... Regardless of whether He was pestered by His body's immature substances .... or whether unredeemed beings were trying to cling to Him as Satan's emissaries .... His pure soul resisted and fended off everything of a satanic nature, whereas it matured its body's immature spiritual substances so that it was able to join the soul in a spiritualised state when Jesus had accomplished His act of love. As soon the soul entered the realm of darkness it was subjected to satanic forces yet it did not succumb to them, it resisted them instead because it was full of love and this love provided it with the strength to persevere until the end.

However, the soul brought love along from above, it did not sacrifice love, instead, it united itself increasingly more with the Eternal Love and thus the unification took place, which should be every person's ultimate goal on earth. Jesus, the human being, deified Himself on earth through His great love and His extreme suffering and agonising death .... Yet He, too, had to struggle in order to attain this deification, it did not come any easier to Him than any other person, for people also possess the divine spark of love and can constantly nourish and fan it into a bright flame .... They can appeal to Jesus for help, whereas Jesus only ever drew strength from love .... but this love sheltering within Him was God Himself. And then again, God was only able to shelter in a being without sin, He would never have been able to enter a fallen soul which had travelled the path of ascent through the creations .... a soul which had once fallen away from Him and rejected His love .... After all, this had been the original sin which burdened all fallen beings, and this original sin would have had to be redeemed first before a union with God was possible again .... Therefore, had the soul of the man Jesus been a 'fallen' soul, it would not have been redeemed prior to the crucifixion and God would never have been able to take abode in it .... However, He did shelter in Jesus for He was the Love .... God Himself had become human. God's human manifestation would never have been possible in any other way .... but this is and will remain the greatest mystery of all .... A pure being had to accomplish the act of atonement for humanity's original sin, for a fallen being was still subject to God's adversary's rule and would never have been able to muster the strength of detaching itself from the adversary, its prison guard .... Now it is possible for a person, because Jesus Christ died on the cross for it .... A soul of light had to take up the battle against the adversary and Jesus won this battle because His strength was love, because He waged this battle in unity with God Himself, the Eternal Love, and thus God Himself redeemed the human race from sin and death .... You humans need to be given the relevant information, for mistaken opinions will also lead to mistaken conclusions. Lucifer would not have had to fight against Jesus had he been in command of Him .... And every fallen soul is still subject to the adversary's control .... until it is redeemed by Jesus Christ .... No fallen soul would ever have succeeded in defeating the adversary .... The act of Salvation had not been accomplished as yet, therefore Jesus' battle would have been unsuccessful, for a fallen being which had once resisted God's strength of love had indeed received a tiny spark of love from God, but it would never have fanned it into a bright flame because the adversary would have stopped it and because the being itself was too weak .... You humans should understand that you lose yourselves in wrong thoughts if you don't let go of this opinion that Jesus' soul is Satan's share, thus once a fallen away spiritual being .... With this point of view you would only make the problem of God's human manifestation even more incomprehensible and questionable .... And therefore the pure truth must be repeatedly presented to you, for only the truth will enlighten you correctly and the truth will only ever come forth from God Himself ....

Amen

The incarnation of Jesus

Messiah, Saviour of humankind ....

B.D. 8353 from December 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

From bright heights I descended to earth to carry My light into the darkness .... The sun of the spirit had gone down, no ray of light illuminated the darkness of night, and humanity suffered dreadful hardship. And those who recognised their adversity screamed to Me for help, they called for a Saviour to rescue them, for these few were not entirely imprisoned by My adversary, they lived a life of love and had not completely lost their bond with Me as yet, and thus appealed to Me in their distress to send them a Saviour. And so I sent My Son to earth .... A spirit of light, Who emerged from My love and remained loyal to Me when the host of original spirits deserted Me .... offered Himself for an act which was unique yet nevertheless brought redemption to all humankind .... He descended to earth and dwelled amongst the people.

He started His life on earth like any other human being but had accepted that he must fulfil a great mission: to shape Himself, i.e. His earthly shell, such that it could serve Me as an abode, because I wanted to tend to My living creations Myself, I Myself wanted to redeem their immense guilt with which they had burdened themselves due to their voluntary apostasy from Me .... This being of light, a child of My love, offered Itself to accomplish this act of atonement as a human being on My behalf and, as a soul, took abode in the infant Jesus and began His earthly progress, which was so incredibly sorrowful because His earthly body was intended to become spiritualised as well in order to serve Me Myself, the Eternal Love, as a dwelling. Even at His birth the world around Him was already able to recognise that this infant was the promised Messiah, for His great abundance of light broke through from time to time and expressed itself in extraordinarily profound speeches by the infant. Yet His soul was exceedingly harassed by My adversary who incited all spirits still belonging to him into taking possession of His body so that, due to this influence, the body became subject to powerful temptations against which the man Jesus subsequently had to fight so as not to succumb to them. Love gave Him the strength to do so yet He had to exert great effort, and the whole of His earthly life was a true path of the cross, which He nevertheless voluntarily took upon Himself for love of His fallen brothers, whose extensive hardship was known to Him. But His life was also an uninterrupted service of love, and since I Am Love Itself I was always able to be in Him and provide Him with the strength to fulfil the mission: to accomplish the act of atonement for humanity's immense guilt of sin ....

He was My Son, He was a soul of light which found complete union with Me on earth, which accomplished the work of deification which is the goal of every one of My created beings: to change from a 'living creation' into 'My child' which voluntarily accepts My will completely and thereby is able to attain the highest degree of perfection. Jesus was a non-fallen original spirit, and yet this deification had to take place in free will which was achieved by taking the path through earthly life .... the path through the abyss .... And thus His soul had to be exposed to all harassments on the part of My adversary, because he wanted to possess this soul too, whose fall he had been unable to bring about. And since the earth was his kingdom .... hence the kingdom of the fallen spirits .... Jesus' soul was exposed to all satanic instincts and harassments, and the human being Jesus had to resist them, in the face of all temptations he had to stand by Me as His Father of eternity, He had to make Me His comrade-in-arms and did this by constantly requesting My love and through His activity of love also received it, because love does not deny Itself and the great love of the man Jesus drew Me tremendously. And by virtue of this love .... for love is strength in itself .... He was able to put up resistance and continue with the act of Salvation until the end. The Saviour had been sent to mankind in truth; the Messiah had come as had been promised long before .... The light had descended to earth in order to illuminate the hearts of those who acknowledged Him, who recognised that I was in Him Myself and wanted to bring people salvation from sin and death .... And the light penetrated the darkness .... In Jesus emerged a fighter Who defeated My adversary .... For His weapon was love, and My adversary fights against love in vain, he will always succumb to love for I Am Love Itself, and I Am truly stronger than the one who once plunged you into the abyss ....

Amen

Jesus as a human being knew of His mission ....

B.D. 8667 from November 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The earthly path of the human being Jesus was exceedingly sorrowful .... His pure soul found itself in an impure and dark environment and experienced this environment as torment, on account of which the child Jesus was never able to be cheerful, although He was not yet conscious of the mission the soul itself had offered to carry out .... From time to time the light of His soul's true nature burst through indeed, then My spirit expressed itself through Him, so that he already performed miracles as a child, which only could be accomplished by a being of purest light in possession of abundant strength and light .... Yet this only happened now and then in order that the people in His neighbourhood should believe in His mission ....

And even these remarkable expressions of strength troubled the boy Jesus as soon as He had regained His natural human frame of mind but they also impelled Him into ever more heartfelt contact with Me, His eternal God and Father, Whom He loved with all His heart, which therefore joined Him ever more to Me so that My love, too, permeated Him ever more until the moment came when He, in the brightest light of love, recognised His task .... until He realised that He was meant to deliver His fallen brothers, until He became aware of the complete act of Salvation and He saw before Him the arduous path to the cross He should take if He so wanted .... His path of suffering was shown to Him in every detail, the knowledge of which darkened His soul and filled it with fear from which only His burning love for the wretched living creations helped Him escape again .... Yet He had to struggle with the decision to voluntarily take the path to the cross, He had to be willing to shoulder humanity's every gilt of sin and render such an agonising act of atonement for it that it surpassed all human imagination. For Jesus had not been destined by My will to make this sacrifice on the cross, rather, His soul had voluntarily offered itself to bring the lost children back to Me. For this purpose it lived life on earth as a human being and then had to struggle to make this decision again as a human being, because free will was decisive again too, for I would never have destined a human being to make such a sacrifice of atonement against his will, because only a sacrifice made by love was able to redeem the original sin of the fallen beings. And the sacrifice not only involved the act of crucifixion, the days of most bitter physical suffering and humiliation inflicted on the human being Jesus by My adversary's vassals, but His whole earthly life was a path to the cross, because His soul suffered indescribably, having descended from the kingdom of light into the kingdom of darkness.

And Jesus very soon knew the cause and purpose of his descent to earth and this knowledge burdened the 'human being Jesus' beyond all measure, so that He undeniably travelled the path across earth as a human being yet the pleasures of earthly life were denied to Him, which every human being enjoying his earthly life was usually allowed to take pleasure in with impunity .... For His life was constantly overshadowed by the events ahead of Him which .... since He was merely human .... constantly frightened Him and never let Him be cheerful .... Only in his refuge with Me did He find peace and strength and then, due to his ever-increasing love, His will to make the sacrifice grew constantly stronger too, and He carried the heavy burden of earthly life consciously and only ever endeavoured to do My will and help His fellow human beings .... And this also steadily increased His strength enabling Him to work miracles and thereby helping his fellow human beings who needed His help. Yet His mission before the actual act of Salvation consisted of preaching the Gospel to people, of proclaiming My will to them and of admonishing and encouraging them into leading a loving and righteous way of life .... He brought people the truth which had not been recognised for a long time already and which had to be imparted to people in all purity again in order to induce them into a right way of living, so that His act of Salvation would then also be correctly understood and accepted by people who made the effort to live a life of love.

He led the way which all should follow if they wanted to return to the kingdom of light, to Me, and who would be able to do so after Jesus had redeemed the original sin through His death on the cross. This act of mercy by Jesus had such enormous consequences that you cannot receive enough clarification about it. Time and again the knowledge of it will be truthfully conveyed to you, for you should not just see in Jesus the human being Whose life was prematurely terminated by other people, but you should recognise His great mission, for Jesus' act of Salvation is of such immense significance for you humans that it is imperative for you to accept it if you ever want to escape the kingdom of darkness and be admitted into the kingdom of light. And you will only accept it if you are instructed of it absolutely truthfully, which always happens through My spirit which alone guides you into every truth ....

Amen

Jesus’ body was also solidified substance in accordance with God’s will ....

B.D. 8756 from February 18th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Accept My instructions and ask Me whatever you would like to know, because I want to explain the truth to you so that you can pass it on to those who ask you. Although you can only receive appropriate clarification in accordance with your comprehension I will also give your intellect the ability to recognise spiritual knowledge, and thus you will be able to stand up to the rational person where necessary. Reconciling the physical consistency of the man Jesus with the supreme spirit of light, Who descended to earth in order to serve Me as a cover for My human manifestation, is difficult for you to understand .... Fallen as well as non-fallen original spirits live on earth in a physical external frame which consists of impure substances of another original spirit, thus they are still at the beginning of their development ....

Hence the soul is meant to perfect itself during its life on earth, it should remove everything unspiritual within itself, it should resist all temptation, discard all impure waste, fight against impure instincts and desires, change all vices into virtues .... thus it should change its whole being into love .... And it is constantly harassed by the immature substance which wants to pull the soul down again and which is constantly driven to do so by My adversary. Consequently, human life on earth is the last process of purification within the physical external form, and it can result in complete success, in the soul's total spiritualization .... At the same time the soul can redeem and spiritualise the body, too, if it tries to influence this immature substance with much love .... if it stifles all worldly lust and increasingly tries to persuade the body to completely detach itself from the world .... if, therefore, soul and body jointly follow the spirit within and enter into an innermost connection with Me ....

Every human being will have to fight these conflicts with himself, because every physical external frame is an immature spiritual substance which still belongs to the adversary, it merely cannot be controlled by him directly during the period of constraint, whereas the soul is exposed to the temptations of the adversary during its earthly life and needs to resist them firmly .... and the body, due to its immaturity, will always aggravate the soul's aspirations, because the undeveloped spiritual substance is still more aligned with darker realms. However, it can receive light if it carries out deeds of love, and then the body will always participate in everything the soul wants to do.

Although Jesus' soul certainly had a physical body there was, nevertheless, a difference, because His body, His physical cover, did not belong to a once-fallen original spirit, in spite of being physical, i.e. in accordance with My will solidified spiritual substance, which could not actually be influenced by My adversary because it did not belong to him since he had no authority over any spirit which had not fallen. But Jesus had to fulfil a mission .... to achieve His own spiritualization on earth through love and the agonizing death at the cross .... through the act of Salvation. When His soul had descended to earth and entered into a physical cover it was besieged and held by numerous immature substances which had been attracted by the light, but which experienced the light as torment and tried to extinguish it. The soul of light had entered the kingdom of darkness and had to pass through this area and disperse and redeem everything entering its sphere with its light .... It had to suffer with love and try to help all unspiritual substances which had joined it, because His immense love caused Jesus to descend to earth and the soul did not surrender this love but used it as strength for the weak wretched substance which clung to it and which it could not remove forcefully, since His love did not allow it.

And thus the body was harassed by the said immature spiritual substance which wanted to transfer all instincts that are inherent in every human to the body. And externally, from other people, the soul was equally troubled by many different temptations which stimulated the natural instincts in Jesus' body, because His body was created no different than that of other people albeit it did not contain any satanically attached substances, since due to My will it was begotten without sin and thus a pure vessel for My human manifestation within it. But for the purpose of its act of Salvation the body responded to all assaults by My adversary, to all temptation from outside, to all human seduction just like any other body and Jesus had to overcome all these instincts within Himself, because He had to exemplify to people the right kind of life. And thus He had to overcome every human instinct, all desire for the world, all lust, He had to offer resistance, fend off all temptation without violating love .... thus He had to spiritualise His body just as every other human being, and He succeeded in doing so, having been given the strength by love which also finally accomplished the act of Salvation .... And yet again the man Jesus had to know and overcome all human weaknesses, because He was intended to become a shining example to all of humanity, because all human beings shall and can achieve this goal ....

This work of spiritualization was by no means easy for Him, since the temptations had been particularly powerful to Him, because the adversary himself had fought against Him as not to lose his followers .... On the other hand, however, the human external frame which was to shelter Me had to be pure and without sin, I could not have manifested Myself in a body whose substances belonged to an original spirit who had once deserted Me .... You have to clearly understand that. Because precisely this external shape should be and remain visible for eternity.

The unification of Myself, a most supreme Being of light .... My 'only begotten Son' .... and part of a fallen spirit would never ever have been possible. (The unification of Me, My 'only begotten Son' .... the most supreme Being of light .... ) But since the salvation through Jesus every fallen being can accomplish this unification with Me .... However, before Jesus' crucifixion the salvation had not yet taken place, thus the physical external shape could not have been saved either if it had been necessary, and hence I Myself could not have worked on earth through the man Jesus which, however, was the case, because My spirit was in Him and expressed itself with deeds of miracles and through My Word .... So don't be mislead if you are given knowledge which does not correspond to this .... but believe that you receive the pure truth from Me Myself because I know how misguided the thoughts of many people still are, and I will correct every error as soon as you ask Me for it ....

Amen

The unanimity of God with Jesus

Deification of Jesus .... incarnation of God ....

B.D. 7454 from November 12th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

No human being will properly understand the problem of God's incarnation in Jesus who does not know about the 'deification of the created', about the aim of all beings which emerged from God's hand as His 'creatures' and are to achieve the aim of becoming His 'children' .... which He could not create because free will belongs to the highest perfection and therefore had to be used by the beings themselves in the right direction. God certainly created the beings out of Himself in all perfection, He created images of Himself which He constantly permeated with light and strength and which were therefore also able to create and shape like Him in infinity .... But these beings were His 'creatures' .... Beings which could not be other than as they had come forth from the hand of God through His will .... But God wanted 'children' .... He wanted beings who, of their own will, were and remained exactly the same as He Himself .... He wanted beings which, as supremely perfect true images, remained in free will, even though they could also direct this free will differently. And He could not create such beings for Himself, He could only direct them in such a way that they themselves now provided the evidence to be and remain true images of God .... All beings also possessed free will as a sign of their perfection, and this meant that it could turn in all directions, that it could also distance itself far away from God as well as remain in His closest proximity .... And this decision of will either resulted in becoming children or in a fall into the abyss, an infinite distance from God which, however, can and will one day lead to unification with Him again and then the beings will also have entered the state of childship to God, which was the first and last aim and purpose of creation. And this 'childship' of God is achieved through complete union with Him .... but union with Him through love .... i.e.: As a primordially created being it was constantly permeated by God's strength of love, through the fall into the abyss it lost this strength of love because it placed itself in opposition to it. Yet as a divine being it also has to be permeated by God's love, every obstacle which prevents God's illumination has to be removed, there has to be a direct bond between God and the being so that love can radiate into the being without restraint and thus a unification has taken place between the father and His child .... and now the child has become His image, a God-like being: perfect, just as the father in heaven is perfect .... And thus the man Jesus also had to deify Himself on earth through a life of love so that He could reach the highest aim: To merge completely with the father through love, so that He could ascend to heaven as 'God' .... just as, conversely, the eternal deity, i.e. 'love', fully and completely fulfilled the external form of a human being, thus becoming 'human' Himself for the sake of one purpose: to redeem humanity from eternal death. Only 'love' could accomplish such a work of mercy, but love is God. And thus God embodied Himself in a human being, He chose an external form for Himself which was sinless and which, in free will, completely shaped itself into love, i.e., it accepted God within itselfi. And thus the human being Jesus deified Himself through love, and God accomplished the act of salvation, He suffered and died on the cross in order to redeem humanity ....

Human manifestation in Jesus ....

B.D. 8091 from January 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 85

I will truly convey to you everything that contributes towards your spiritual enlightenment, because you humans need light and those of you who want to serve Me shall pave the way for your fellow human beings as bearers of light by illuminating the path which leads to Me and eternal life. And I know where people require clarification; I know where their thoughts are still misguided and thus I also know that they require light, because every wrong thought merely causes confusion, spiritual darkness. Time and again I will let a light illuminate the darkness and thereby show you the right path you should take during your life on earth. And since you must take the path to the cross on earth .... since you must recognise and acknowledge Jesus as Son of God and Redeemer if you want to enter the kingdom of light, you must also be truthfully instructed about My human manifestation in Jesus, otherwise you will be unable to acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus .... And precisely this human manifestation problem is difficult for you to solve, for you cannot envisage that I .... the greatest and most perfect Spirit in eternity .... manifested Myself in a human being. You cannot envisage that it was impossible for Me to be personified in any other way than in Jesus, Whose external cover sheltered the divine Creator within .... Who was certainly human in His outer form, yet entirely permeated by My divine spirit of love .... His whole nature was and remained as ‘God’ in order to become visible for you, My living creations. You must never visualise the ‘Eternal Deity’ as a personified Being, Which would therefore be limited .... I permeate the whole of infinity, for this infinity is infused with My strength which takes unlimited effect .... I Myself Am the primary centre of this emanation of strength and therefore not imaginable as a limited Being .... Nevertheless, I was able to totally permeate a form, to so illuminate it that it was nothing else but My fundamental substance, that it was the same as I Myself, merely in a conceivable shape for you humans .... And this external form was Jesus, the human being, Who became My shell because My living creations wanted to behold something that was spatially-defined and because the act of Salvation was also intended to take place visibly for you and this required a humanly observable process that was meant to liberate people from sin and death if they believed in it .... if they believed in My human manifestation in Jesus, in the act of love and compassion which was accomplished for the sake of the sinful human race by a human being Who sheltered Me in all fullness within Himself. Other than in Jesus I Am inconceivable to you. In Jesus, God .... the greatest spirit of infinity .... became a human being, and Jesus Himself was God, for even His human external frame spiritualised itself and was totally permeated by My spirit of love .... Jesus was only human until He had spiritualised Himself through His life of love .... However, the external form had to endure all suffering and pain and finally the most bitter death on the cross because Jesus wanted to absolve His fellow human beings from the immense guilt of sin, and the act of Salvation was only accomplished with the crucifixion, which I Myself .... the Eternal Love .... therefore accomplished in Jesus and consequently I Myself must be acknowledged in Jesus. All of you, as My once emanated beings, are love in your fundamental substance .... as was Jesus, Who remained with Me when you voluntarily detached yourselves from Me .... He, too, was emanated by Me, hence My Son .... And I sent this Son of Mine to earth in order to redeem you, in order to open the path of return again. Even as a human being His great love upheld the connection with Me, He only ever desired My love and I did not deny it to Him .... Thus I was able to permeate Him entirely, I was able to illuminate Him and take complete possession of Him. And since His external shape was human, I therefore became ‘human’ and Jesus became ‘God’. No separation existed between us anymore, He had totally merged with Me, He was as one with Me. So now My living creations can behold Me Myself face to face in Jesus when they enter the kingdom of light in a ‘redeemed’ state, where they will be eternally happy.

Amen

God and Jesus are one .... Human manifestation of God ....

B.D. 8250 from August 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

That the human spiritual state is growing increasingly darker is revealed by fact that people are no longer able to understand God’s ‘becoming One’ with Jesus properly .... and that they therefore also lack the right comprehension for God’s ‘human manifestation’ .... Owing to the misguided teaching of the three-person Deity they began to think wrongly. Yet, time and again, it has to be said that the eternal Deity cannot be personified .... thus It cannot be conceived as anything other than power permeating the whole of eternity .... This power cannot be limited nor can it be thought of as a ‘form’ .... but it can permeate a form completely .... And this process of complete permeation by divine strength occurred in the man Jesus ....

He was full of love and love is the fundamental substance of the eternal Deity .... ceaselessly emanated into infinity, which creates and maintains everything .... And this divine strength of love permeated the human form of Jesus and thus manifested itself in Him. God’s fundamental nature took abode in the man Jesus and thus God became ‘human’ .... and since Jesus was completely filled with the fundamental substance of God, He became ‘God’ .... Because even His completely spiritualised human form was able to wholly unify with God after His crucifixion so that Jesus then became the comprehensible Deity .... that the human being cannot imagine God other than in Jesus .... but that it cannot ever be a question of ‘two people’ .... The human being Jesus had achieved the goal on earth, the complete deification, which all created beings should achieve .... Because God wanted to create images of Himself whose final perfection, however, had to be achieved by the free will of the being itself. Jesus the man achieved this deification not only on account of a life of love, but with the act of Salvation He also redeemed humanity’s guilt of sin .... for He used God’s strength of love or He would have been unable to bear the terrible suffering and crucifixion. This strength of love was God’s fundamental nature, thus God Himself was within the man Jesus in all fullness and accomplished the act of Salvation ....

However, it is a misleading concept when you humans speak of a three-person God because the eternal Deity cannot be personified since It is pure love, and this love manifested Itself in Jesus, and thus the eternal spirit God was working in Jesus, and to all beings He can only be comprehensible in Jesus .... Since God’s former created beings had abandoned Him because they could not see Him, He became a visible God to them in Jesus .... But Jesus is not a second being that could be thought of as existing next to God .... He is God because God is strength of love, Which permeates a fully spiritualised form, thus it consists entirely of divine fundamental substance and is therefore only visible to those beings who have also become spiritualised in order to see spiritually.

It is certainly correct to describe God’s nature as Father, Son and Holy Spirit if the Father is acknowledged as love, the Son as wisdom and the Holy Spirit as the will or power of God .... Because God’s nature is love, wisdom and power .... But the goal God had set for Himself when He created the beings, the voluntary deification of these beings, also explains .... when it is achieved .... God’s manifestation in Jesus .... the visible Deity in Jesus, while the three-person Deity does not allow for a correct, i.e. truthful explanation. People have created their own concepts which obstruct their spiritual maturing process, because only one God can be called upon; three different Gods may not be prayed to but God Himself wants to be acknowledged in Jesus, and hence He can only be worshipped in Jesus .... And He demands this acknowledgment of all human beings, because this acknowledgment had been denied to Him in the past, and because the act of Salvation has to be accepted at the same time .... Because no person can find forgiveness of his original sin without Jesus Christ, and therefore the human being has to declare his belief in Him .... he has to believe that God Himself has shown compassion for humanity and accomplished the act of Salvation in Jesus ....

Jesus’ work of redemption

Jesus Christ .... redeemer - God-man ....

B.D. 5213 from September 16th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I entered My kingdom when I had accomplished the act of salvation. I dwelled as a human being in the midst of people, I taught them as God, I worked miracles as God and died again on the cross as a human being .... This is a mystery which is not so easy to reveal to you humans as long as you don't know about every individual person's development, as long as you haven't recognized the meaning and purpose of your earthly life and understand the process of a person's deification.

As such, man is still connected with matter, both in his body and in his thoughts, as long as these do not turn away from the world and towards God .... And as long as he will also not understand the mystery of Jesus - human being and son of God at the same time .... and will not be able to understand the explanation given in all truth. But he can still be taught about it, so that the spiritual in him begins to stir and is given the opportunity to unfold ....

I worked on earth as God and suffered as a human being because the deity in Me could not suffer, thus the act of salvation for humanity had to be accomplished by a human being if it was to benefit the whole of humanity. And these sufferings were and had to be so unspeakably great so that they demonstrated to humanity the magnitude of its guilt, so that the act of salvation was not valued too low, even if people believed in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ. A human being cannot measure the agony and suffering of My crucifixion, his senses would dwindle if only he could gain a proper understanding of it, for it was beyond human strength and yet I endured it as a human .... Only a small part of these sufferings would have been enough to end a person's life, for I felt them even more profoundly than a normal person. Yet My body was tremendously strong-willed due to its spiritualization and therefore took upon itself everything that could still contribute to humanity's deliverance from its immense guilt of sin .... I consciously walked the path to the cross, I consciously accepted death on the cross. You humans cannot measure what that means .... I wanted to suffer in order to redeem people .... And therefore nothing was spared Me, and the most dreadful description of My suffering and torment would still not be nearly sufficient to be able to imagine it to you. And therefore the deity had to emerge from Me, from the man Jesus, and leave the work to Him alone to accomplish. This is why it was preceded by a dreadful battle which the man Jesus had to fight beforehand in order to place Himself outside the deity dwelling in Him and to remain strong. The man Jesus suffered unimaginably, and that only out of love for humanity, which was in greatest spiritual need. And for the sake of this greater than great love I accepted the sacrifice, otherwise I would never have let a being suffer like that, which was completely blameless and so close to Me .... I accepted the sacrifice and gave the man Jesus into the hands of his enemies and tormentors .... For the work He accomplished was valid for the whole of eternity, it meant redemption for the whole of the wretched spiritual, which shall find its way back into the father's house .... The soul of the man Jesus recognized all this and, as a spiritual being, was ready for any atonement, for any help it could render the unredeemed spiritual being .... But such a sacrifice had to be made by a human being who walked on earth in equal weakness in order to show people a passable path to Me, to their father of eternity .... For this reason a supreme being of light embodied Himself as a human being and, as a human being with all weaknesses and faults on earth, provided the evidence that through a rightly used will and a life of unselfish neighbourly love on earth a unification of the spirit with Me, the father-spirit of eternity, can already be achieved, that this unification provides the human being with an abundance of strength, that the human being is therefore able to work miracles in union with Me, that he can penetrate the deepest wisdom, that he knows everything on earth and in the spiritual kingdom and that he can completely spiritualize himself, his body and his soul on earth through love. Only a human being could and had to bring this proof, otherwise humanity would not take the same path which leads to the aim .... to Me into the father's house. Nevertheless, people were too weak without help precisely because they lacked the will to love. And Jesus knew about this weakness of will as a result of the past sin and wanted to help them to strengthen their will.

I was indeed in Him, the man Jesus, but I did not influence His will; He acted and thought as a human being and yet drew Me into His heart in all fullness .... For My fundamental nature is love, and His greater than great love established the union with Me .... He became one with Me .... The man Jesus may have suffered the bitterest on earth, but through His love He attained the highest .... He descended to earth as a high being of light and returned to the kingdom of light again as God, for He completely merged with Me through love, Who has now become visible to you humans as saviour Jesus Christ, Who can now also enter into contact with each one of you through Jesus Christ, because He atoned for your guilt of sin through His death on the cross, through His indescribable suffering, because His love for you was exceedingly great ....

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Jesus has satisfied God's justice ....

B.D. 8222 from July 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Your separation from Me would have lasted forever had I not accomplished the act of Salvation for you by taking your guilt upon Myself and redeeming it through the sacrifice on the cross, which I accomplished through the man Jesus on earth .... An unbridgeable gulf existed between the kingdom of light and that of darkness .... You would never have been able to overcome this gulf yourselves, My kingdom was closed to you forever because My justice would have been unable to accept you, who had become sinful as a result of your apostasy, until the immense sin had been atoned for. This sacrifice of atonement was rendered by Jesus, the human being, in Whom I Myself took abode, because His untainted human shell allowed for it, for I would never have been able to embody Myself in a sinful person .... Thus a soul of light had to descend to earth voluntarily in order to make

Amends for its fallen brothers for the sake of My justice, which could not be bypassed according to the law of eternity .... I Am a perfect Being, Which is indeed Love in Itself, but without justice I cannot possibly be called a supremely perfect Being. And Jesus, the human being, satisfied this justice through the sacrifice on the cross, which was offered by a soul of light with the intention of returning the fallen living creations back to Me, in order to build a bridge from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of light. However, I Myself dwelled in the man Jesus, for Love accomplished the act of Salvation, Which utterly permeated the man Jesus and also gave Him the strength to take the most severe suffering and pain upon Himself, to walk the path to the cross with all of humanity's guilt of sin and to lay down His life for this guilt .... Had this Love not been present in Him, He truly would have been unable to make such a sacrifice .... And I Myself was this Love ....

I took abode in Jesus' shell, I .... the greatest Spirit of eternity .... manifested Myself in Him, I pervaded Him with My fundamental nature of love; My love utterly permeated Him, the human shell merely curtailed the working of My strength of love when He took the final path to the cross, where Jesus, the man, suffered incredibly and died the most bitter death on the cross in order to atone for the sin of the once fallen beings .... I dwelled in Him and He voluntarily accomplished the act of deifying His soul, which is the final goal of all My created beings .... He had totally merged with Me, He was I and I was Him .... I had become a human being, He had become God, for He was totally permeated by My love, and love is My fundamental substance .... Jesus' crucifixion absolved the great guilt and opened up the path for you humans into the kingdom of light .... However, you are not instantly redeemed, because your free will caused your apostasy from Me and thus free will must also be willing to return to Me; you must become aware of your past guilt and appeal to Me in Jesus for forgiveness, or you will remain burdened by your guilt and your entry into the kingdom of light will be denied to you. Time and again you humans are informed of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and the spiritual mission of Jesus, the man, is explained and substantiated to you. Even so, you must believe it, for you cannot be given any evidence apart from the fact that you .... once you have found redemption through Jesus Christ .... will gain complete understanding of it yourselves, because, as a result of the redemption through Jesus Christ, the working of My spirit will not be prevented, which will subsequently guide you into all truth, and this is the certain proof that you have been redeemed from your original sin .... But first you must take the path to the cross of your own free will, you must be willing to do so and want to belong to the circle of those who were redeemed through Jesus' blood .... and then you will truly accept and make use of the blessings of the act of Salvation. Then you will be on the path of return to Me, you will have stepped onto the bridge which Jesus built for you so that you can find admittance into the kingdom of light and bliss, and whose gate was opened for you through the act of Salvation by Jesus .... within Whom I Myself dwelled and became a visible God for you so that one day you would be able to behold Me face to face ....

The visibleness of God in Jesus

Christ problem .... visible God ....

B.D. 5348 from March 31th 1952, taken from Book No. 59

You confess Me, and thus I also confess you before My father .... One day you will experience for yourselves what this means when you enter the kingdom of peace, where love emanating from Me radiates towards you, where the father embraces you with His love because you have found Him through Jesus Christ .... because you have received strength from the treasure of grace acquired on the cross and have accomplished your change of nature with this strength and thus have become love. But without acknowledging My act of salvation you would never find the path to eternal love, for you are too weak of your own strength and irrevocably need My help, My grace and My strength, but I can only give it to you if you acknowledge Me as redeemer of the world .... as God's son, Whom eternal love sent to you humans in order to save you ....

A being, which came forth from Me, ascended to earth and received Me, the father, in all fullness within itself. It allowed itself to be completely permeated by My strength of love and was now also able to show the earthly children the path to Me, but it only leads via this being, via Jesus Christ. You cannot switch off Jesus Christ, bypass Him and believe that you can also reach Me in another way. You have to join Him, you have to follow Him, you have to confess Him before the world .... Then you will also safely reach your aim .... Jesus Christ leads you to Me, He brings you to the father, Who has taken on form through Him, Who now presents Himself to you visibly in Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world .... You will find this difficult to understand but only as long as you still don't know that My fundamental nature is love, that I am a spirit Who fills the whole of infinity and Who thus manifested Himself in Jesus Christ in order to be a visible God to you humans, to Whom you can entrust yourselves like children, Who is your father from eternity and also wants to be loved by you as father .... I and He are one, for it was My infinite love which drew Me to My earthly children, which rescued them from the deepest night, from satan’s bonds through death on the cross. The fact that I used a human form was necessary because I, as a spirit, could neither suffer nor offer you a visible work of salvation on the cross as long as you were unable to see spiritually yourselves and only that which was accomplished humanly was impressive to you. Yet this human form was also My work, the soul sheltering in it was My work, only it was externalized as independent in order to bring itself to the highest possible perfection, which the man Jesus also achieved on earth through His love for His fellow human beings and His death on the cross. But love was I Myself .... Who therefore sheltered Himself in Him as the eternal deity until Jesus ascended to heaven transfigured ....

You humans cannot separate Jesus Christ from Me, for I was in Him and therefore He in Me .... Jesus Christ was love Himself, therefore He was also God, Who is love in Himself .... And all beings which shape themselves into love are likewise merged with Me and will be allowed to behold Me in Jesus Christ, Who received Me on earth in all fullness, Who already accomplished the merger with Me on earth and can no longer be apart from Me eternally ....

Amen

God is a spirit Who has manifested Himself in Jesus ....

B.D. 7828 from February 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should not imagine your God and Creator as a strictly limited Being, you should not try to associate Him with a form, for then your idea would always be wrong, because something defined can never correspond to My nature, which is utterly perfect, thus infinite. For I Am a spirit Who fills and permeates everything. In My nature I will be eternally unfathomable for My living creations, for although My living creations were externalised by Me in supreme perfection they are nevertheless only sparks of love, emanated by the fire of My Eternal Love and externalised as individual beings who, however, would be unable to behold the eternal source of light and strength if I showed Myself to them in My full abundance of brilliance, since they would perish if they faced the radiating light ....

Yet you need not visualise Me in any other way than as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... In Him I became the 'visible' God for you, in Him the eternal, infinite spirit has manifested Itself, in Him you see Me and are able to behold Him face to face .... Thus I gave Myself a form for you, whom I had externalised from My love and My strength as My living creations .... The Eternal Spirit Who fills all of infinity permeated this form with light and became a visible God for you .... And yet I reign and work throughout all of infinity and thus My Being cannot be limited either, I can only have become a conceivable idea in the form of Jesus Christ for you, who are still finite yourselves, who have not yet attained the highest perfection, for I have to give to you what corresponds to your state, which is still far from perfection.

However, I Am and remain also inscrutable in My nature for the spirits of highest perfection, which, however, is a cause of increased beatitude, because My children constantly strive towards Me, are constantly delighted by Me through My fulfilling of their desire yet never able to reach Me .... and on the other hand may behold Me from face to face in Jesus Christ .... This, too, will remain an enigma to you, and only in the state of enlightenment will you begin to comprehend and yet eternally unable to fathom My nature. To you I appear infinitely far away and yet I Am as close to you as only a father can get to his child. But this awareness makes you immensely happy, and your love for Me increases constantly and is also the cause of bliss, because it always meets with fulfilment.

And thus your love for Jesus Christ will blaze ever more ardently, in Whom you have recognised your Father of eternity and in Whom I bestow unlimited bliss upon you .... For in Him I Am now able to be close to My children, even though I Am not bound to the form, even though I fill all of infinity with My light and My strength, with My Being, which is and remains inscrutable. But you, My living creations, shall look for and find Me in Jesus, for I have chosen Him as the form which received Me; and this once human external form completely spiritualised itself and yet remained visible to every being which attained the state of maturity of spiritual vision ....

Thus you see My eternal spirit when you see Jesus, for He and I are one, you see the Father when you see Jesus, because I wanted to be visible to you, My created beings, in order to gain all your love. Yet you will never be able to behold Me in My infinite abundance of strength and light without ceasing to exist .... But I want to be able to create and work with My children and thus also reveal Myself to them in order to heighten their beatitude .... And I want to experience their love Myself and therefore will always be close to My children ....

Amen

The right concept of God ....

B.D. 7816 from February 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And it will be revealed to you through My spirit that there is only one God and that this God manifested Himself in Jesus Christ, because He is a Spirit. It was not possible for Me to become visible to My created beings as a limited Being, but in Jesus Christ I became a 'visible' God for all My living creations, and therefore you cannot speak of Jesus Christ and the Father, for I Am one with Him, so when you speak of Jesus Christ you are speaking of Me, your God and Creator, your Father of eternity .... For the infant Jesus sheltered My spirit within Himself, and after His birth I was already remarkably active in Him in order to show the people in His neighbourhood that My spirit dwelt within the infant. The man Jesus exhaled his last breath on the cross .... Jesus body, however, was spiritualised and He rose from the dead .... For all His substances had merged with Me, My spirit had permeated body and soul and nothing human remained in Him .... What arose from the dead on the third day was I Myself, the Father-Spirit of eternity, the God Whom the beings desired to behold and Who had now manifested Himself in the outward appearance of Jesus Christ ....

Jesus Christ is 'God', for I Am a Spirit and thus became visible to all My beings in the shape of Jesus Christ, and you cannot visualise Me in any other way than the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... And if you want to call upon Me, if you want to make contact with Me, you have to call upon Jesus Christ, you have to talk to Him, you have to acknowledge Him as your Father of eternity, and then you will also have the right concept of God .... which, however, can never be right if you pray separately to Me as 'God' and to Jesus Christ as 'Son of God' .... The soul which dwelt in the man Jesus was My 'Son' .... a supremely perfect being created by Me which remained with Me when the great apostasy of the spirits took place ....

And this 'Son of God' made it possible for Me to embody Myself in a human shell .... so that the complete merger of the eternal Father-Spirit with Jesus Christ could take place, but then there no longer existed two separate beings but only one God, for the 'divine Spirit', My fundamental nature, utterly permeated the human shell and likewise spiritualised it .... Everything was 'divine Spirit' it was the Spirit which permeates all of infinity and merely manifested Itself in a form visible to people, so that they were able to develop a concept of Me, so that they were able to pray to a Being in order to unite with this Being .... For the original sin of the spirits' apostasy consisted of their voluntary 'separation' from Me because they were unable to behold Me. And thus I provided for them the possibility of willingly joining with Me again by making Myself visible to them in Jesus Christ. But you must never separate 'Jesus Christ' and 'Myself' .... For He and I are one; and whoever calls upon Him also calls upon Me .... whoever sees Him sees Me, Who is and was eternal and shall remain so in all eternity ....

Amen

Recognition of Jesus as God

Jesus Christ .... His holy name ....

B.D. 5884 from February 22nd 1954, taken from Book No. 64

The name of Him Who is supremely holy and Whom you should call upon in every earthly and spiritual distress is known to all you humans .... It is Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world .... Who descended to earth as the son of God and, after His work of redemption, ascended to heaven as God Himself .... Who is therefore to be addressed as God because the eternal deity manifested Itself in His human shell, the eternal love, Which completely filled the human being Jesus, and therefore His soul became one with it as completely deified. Humanity certainly knows His name, but for the most part His name is only evaluated as that of a human being who was indeed good and noble, but who is denied divinity. For these His name is therefore without power, they do not call upon Him Who has promised them the fulfilment of every prayer sent up to the father in His name. For the father and He are one, and anyone who professes faith in this by calling upon His name will have his prayer answered. For people who lack all spiritual knowledge this problem of God's incarnation is so incomprehensible that they doubt the truth of such teachings and therefore will never test the power of His sanctified name .... Yet their ignorance does not therefore nullify the truth .... And God does not leave any possibility unused to bring knowledge to them, to give them the right clarification, so that they will understand the holiness of the name of Jesus and also call upon Him in their distress .... The ultimate aim of every being is the divinization of itself in free will. People do not know the purpose and aim of their earthly life and therefore do not pursue the aim which the man Jesus achieved with His earthly life and His death on the cross. He indeed descended to earth as a soul of light to fulfil a mission for the first time, to redeem people from a guilt .... from the sin of the former rebellion against God. For their souls had also been souls of light .... they had also come forth from God and stood in the same perfection as the soul of the man Jesus .... Yet they had forfeited their perfection in free will, they had not remained with God but had voluntarily turned away from Him .... to the one who stood opposite God as an adversary after he had been the first to apostatize from God. This great guilt, which the spiritual beings had once incurred and the consequence of which is earthly life as a human being, was taken upon His shoulder by the man Jesus in order to redeem it through His death on the cross .... And because of this mission the soul of light .... the son of God .... descended to earth. But at the same time He lived to men this life which results in the deification of the soul .... He lived a life of unselfish love for them which leads to complete union with the eternal love, which can also shape a divine image out of a sinful earthly human being and leads to the full possession of strength and light .... The man Jesus gave humanity the proof, for His miracles, His unsurpassable wisdom and finally His glorious Ascension proved His divine strength and power .... they proved the effect of a way of life in love and give all people the hope of being able to achieve the same aim if they live as followers of Jesus .... For He gave people the promise: You shall become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect .... So it is also possible to achieve this perfection if it is seriously striven for and if His holy name is called upon for help. For through the act of salvation the burden has been lifted from humanity which pressed it to the ground and made all ascent to heaven impossible .... But for this reason Jesus Christ must also be acknowledged as the redeemer of the world .... otherwise the guilt of sin is not redeemed, otherwise every human being has to cope with this burden himself and eternally cannot reach the aim .... Jesus knew about this weakened state of humanity and therefore descended to earth in order to help it, yet no-one can be released from his guilt who does not acknowledge Him and who therefore cannot let himself be redeemed by Him either .... No-one can become blessed without Jesus Christ .... But everyone will experience the power of His name who faithfully calls upon Him and hands himself and his guilt over to Him and asks Him for help and forgiveness of his guilt. No one will call upon Him in vain who speaks His holy name and thereby acknowledges Him as the son of God and redeemer of the world, Who said of Himself: "I and the father are one ...." and "no one comes to the father except through Me ...."

God in Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 6098 from November 4th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I truly want to be your teacher and advisor and guide you on the path to perfection .... But your will has to accept and acknowledge Me as your guide and teacher, otherwise My instructions will remain without effect and you will not take a step forward in your development. If I now meet you in Jesus Christ .... to Whom you must completely profess in your heart .... then the right path is shown to you at the same time, for only through Jesus Christ is the path leading to the aim. It is impossible to establish a connection with God without acknowledging Jesus Christ, because I Myself can only be sought and found in Him and there is no other God apart from Jesus Christ. And therein lies the great adversity on earth, that people reject Me, as it were, that they don't want to know and believe that the eternal deity .... the all-fulfilling strength .... manifested itself in Jesus Christ .... but now also wants to be acknowledged .... that I Myself in Jesus Christ confront them when faith in Me is demanded of them. And you will always be instructed in this sense when you are taught the truth. Every other portrayal of Me, of your task, of the eternal deity does not correspond to the truth .... And yet, other representations are far more likely to be believed .... And that is why humanity takes the wrong path, it does not take the path via Golgotha, it does not take the path which I, as the human being Jesus, initiated upwards .... it does not take the path of love .... otherwise it would recognize and acknowledge Jesus Christ as the 'embodied' eternal love.

Belief in a creating power alone is not enough, for such a Power cannot be denied by a thinking human being .... But the fact that this creating power made Itself imaginable to you in Jesus Christ .... that It and He are therefore one and that therefore the human being must unite with Jesus Christ if he wants to unite with God, this must be assumed to be true and established, otherwise the human being lacks faith in Me, even though he does not deny a 'God'. I call for faith in Jesus Christ, which only demonstrates a true faith .... a faith which was awakened to life through love; for anyone who convincingly acknowledges Jesus Christ as God's son, in Whom I embodied Myself, has also already kindled the love within himself which imparted the light of realization, the strength of conviction to him .... but without which one cannot speak of true faith ....

But I am not satisfied with blind faith .... And therefore I instruct you Myself and offer Myself to you as a guide so that you will be guided correctly in your thinking and through truth also gain full understanding for the mystery of God's incarnation in Jesus Christ. Proper instruction will give you light, and you will also accept it .... And only I Myself can give you this instruction on condition that you allow yourselves to be taught by Me .... that you ask the 'eternal deity', Whom you acknowledge within yourselves, for clarification, for right thinking and for right guidance. I will truly comply with this request and always be ready to introduce you to the truth, so that you can believe with full conviction and become blessed through this faith ....

Amen

Why Jesus Christ must be acknowledged ....

B.D. 8280 from September 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Time and again you have to be reminded that you cannot ignore Jesus Christ, that you have to acknowledge His act of salvation if you want to be released from your original sin, if you want to be accepted again into the kingdom of light and bliss. You have to find Him, the divine redeemer, during your earthly life in order to be released from your guilt, for He took this guilt upon Himself and travelled the path to the cross with it, He suffered for you and died an agonising death for the sake of your original sin .... If you do not accept His redemption, you will remain burdened with the great guilt of your former apostasy from God, and you will enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed .... But even then you still have the great grace that He accepts you and redeems your guilt of sin if you call out to Him of your own free will that He may deliver you from darkness .... But it is far more difficult in the kingdom of the beyond to come to the realization that sin keeps you in darkness and that you must first have found forgiveness for your sins if you want to ascend and enter the kingdom of light. Without Jesus Christ there is no redemption. For this reason the great act of mercy of the man Jesus is repeatedly brought to your attention on earth, in Whom God embodied Himself, because His great love wanted to redeem the guilt for you and therefore this love took abode in the man Jesus, Who suffered unspeakably and died on the cross because the love in Him drove Him, because He wanted to purchase beatitude for His fallen brothers again, because He wanted to help them to return to the father from Whom they had detached themselves of their own free will .... and this was the great guilt which they were unable to redeem themselves, which kept them separated from the father for an infinitely long time and which can therefore only be taken away from people through Jesus Christ, who acknowledge Him and His act of Salvation and thus also God Himself in Him .... Whatever is possible will still be done in the last days before the end so that people will be informed of the great act of mercy of the man Jesus, for to enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed after the death of the body means profound darkness and an extremely painful path of suffering in the spiritual kingdom until this soul has also found the divine redeemer and appeals to Him for mercy .... Every soul can find Him but equally it can also sink to the abyss if it resists all efforts of the beings of light and does not accept any instructions from them, if, as on earth, it closes itself to all better knowledge, if its will is not directed upwards, if its resistance does not abate and the efforts of spiritual friends are in vain. Then the soul will remain burdened by its original sin and descend into the abyss again in order to take a new path across earth .... but again the course through all works of creation, from hard matter on through the plant and animal kingdom up to the human being .... And endless times pass again until it once more starts its walk on earth as a human being in order to find redemption from its guilt in free will. Jesus offered the sacrifice on the cross for humanity's sins, and the blessings of the act of salvation are accessible to all people, all people can be released from their guilt if only they take the path to the cross, if they acknowledge Jesus Christ as the son of God in Whom the eternal deity manifested Itself and now approach Him for forgiveness of their guilt, for which the eternal love sacrificed Itself in Jesus. And time and again people are therefore given truthful knowledge about Jesus and His act of salvation so that people learn to recognize why they have to acknowledge Him, why they should appeal for His forgiveness and why the acknowledgement of God in Jesus is demanded of them .... And the process of the spirits' apostasy from God is explained to people and the consequences which can only be cancelled by Jesus Christ because love was in Him, Which alone was able to redeem this great original sin .... And therefore people experience the truth time and again so that they voluntarily take the path to the cross and thus enter the bridge into the kingdom of light, for Jesus Christ opened the gate through His crucifixion, and He Himself leads the souls through this gate who acknowledge Him and avail themselves of the blessings of the act of salvation, which He acquired for sinful humanity through His death on the cross .... For He died for all people of the past, the present and the future, but He must be acknowledged and the forgiveness of the guilt of sin must be requested by everyone who believes in Him and wants to become blessed ....

Amen

God's spirit in the man Jesus .... following ....

B.D. 5577 from January 14th 1953, taken from Book No. 61

You humans can be full of the divine spirit if you live as followers of Jesus. As a human being He was no different from you, His life was only a struggle and fight against the desires which He felt like you but wanted to suppress out of love for Me. His life was a life of love for His neighbour, whom He knew was in need and wanted to help. What He achieved you humans could also achieve if you were serious about receiving Me Myself in all fullness. His soul was indeed from the kingdom of light but it did not recognize itself as such until the man Jesus was permeated by My spirit of love. At times My spirit did speak from Him, then the man Jesus spoke with supernatural wisdom and astonished his fellow human beings .... Yet as soon as My spirit hid itself again Jesus felt just as human as they did and His occasionally brighter spiritual state confused and frightened Him; He was closed but turned towards Me with ever more intimate love which then also gave Him the light about His earthly task .... The man Jesus had to wrestle with all powers which were against Him, He had to experience and suffer everything only a human being can suffer, for He preceded you humans on the path which you should and can also take with His help. I helped Him Myself with My strength of love, which He constantly requested and acquired through His life of love. And this unusual supply of strength of love enabled Him to accomplish the work of salvation .... You humans, too, could accomplish unusual things if you wanted to acquire My strength of love yourselves through loving activity; yet you lack the will which, however, was overdeveloped in the man Jesus, yet again only as a result of the love He developed within Himself. As a soul of light His soul felt the great spiritual hardship of the environment, and therefore its will to help was so strong and inspired the man Jesus to work in love .... You humans also see spiritual and earthly hardship around you, and if you wanted to help, you would also receive the strength .... because the will is taken into account .... And you, too, could be full of the divine spirit, because every work of love could result in My strength of love and thus My spirit could become effective in you. The following of Jesus would truly not be demanded of you humans if it could not be fulfilled. For again and again it has to be emphasized that Jesus walked His path on earth as a human being and that all divine attributes were His humanly acquired merits, that the deity did not determine His path of life but that the human being subjugated the deity to Himself .... well understood: that the love of Jesus, the human being, moved Me to the unlimited expression of love, because I am powerless against love, because I Myself am love from eternity .... The man Jesus has conquered Me Myself with Me, He has done what I Myself had to do .... what My fundamental nature demands .... to let the power of love take effect .... And every human being who works in love forces Me into self-emptying .... Yet this compulsion is the most pleasing feeling for Me, Who always wants to give Myself away but can only give Myself away according to My law of eternity where love meets Me. Love must unite the being with Me, then it is filled by My spirit, by My strength of love, and then it can work in and with Me, then the human being has taken the path of following Jesus which leads to unification with Me ....

Amen
