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.

Announcement of the end and signs of the time ....

B.D. 8310 from October 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The announcements of a near end seem unbelievable to people, consequently they reject them and also doubt the truth of the spiritual messages I convey to Earth .... And yet it will not take long for these announcements to fulfil themselves, for My Word is truth .... And precisely the fact that people don't have much time left to change their nature into love causes Me to repeatedly draw their attention to the end and to seriously admonish them to listen to My Word and to live their life accordingly. However, people don't want to believe and I cannot forcibly affect their thoughts and intentions, I can only ever inform them of that which is about to happen to them and leave it up to their free will as to how they assess and make use of such proclamations. And since the process of the end has never taken place before, since people have no knowledge of this, it is also difficult for them to believe it, even though from the beginning of this earthly period I have indicated this end time and again. Yet they should also take notice of the signs which I foretold as well .... They will notice that the signs are increasing and that, purely from a worldly point of view, a change must come about, for everything is intensifying to an abnormal degree, people find themselves on a level which should make them stop and think .... There is no more love, instead, people outdo each other with heartlessness, living next to each other in harmony no longer exists, people are hostile towards each other and allow free reign to their low instincts and passions, they chase after material goods and do not strive towards any spiritual contact whatsoever .... Like it was at the time of the great Flood, people are only searching for worldly pleasure and even obtain it by unlawful means due to the fact that love has grown cold .... Anyone looking around with open eyes should already recognise the signs of the last days and know that one day restitution will have to come, that one day God's power and righteousness must come to the fore, if a God is believed in at all. If this faith is completely missing, people will truly have reached a low spiritual level which will also draw in the end of this earth .... Yet from My side nothing else can be done but to repeatedly point out the end, to constantly keep addressing people through the mouths of prophets and seers and to enlighten them about the cause and effect of people's lives .... but always leaving it up to their freedom of will to grant credence to the proclaimers of My Word or to reject it. Nevertheless, every person's destiny will proceed faster than you think; all of you will have to experience this time if you are not blessed by being recalled before. My plan of Salvation was established an infinitely long time ago and will certainly be implemented because the time the spiritual beings were granted for releasing themselves from the physical form in this period of salvation has come to an end .... And even the exceedingly short time you have left until the end could still be enough for your final release if only you make your serious will known to fulfil your purpose of life on earth, consciously strive towards Me and appeal for My support to achieve perfection .... For I will truly comply with this serious plea, I will help you in every spiritual adversity and with profound mercy draw you to Me, so that you will not go astray again for an infinitely long time when the end of this earth has come ....

Amen

Future world events – God’s intervention in world events

Faithless humanity .... The end is near ....

B.D. 5173 from July 18th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Each day takes you closer to the end. Time passes quickly, yet the human race is not aware of what each day still means for people, what they could still acquire and how soon the time they are still granted until the end will be over. The human race does not consider the end and thus lives without worry or only worries about earthly things. Humanity is blind and does nothing to open its eyes; it is alive and approaches death even though it is meant to acquire eternal life while it still lives on earth. And yet, nothing else can be done than to proclaim to it the near end through seers and prophets, only the Gospel can be conveyed to it, and anyone who believes in it will be saved .... However, people live without faith; although they don't always openly reject what is presented to them by God, by Christ, by the beyond, they nevertheless don't possess the right faith, the inner conviction of it, and thus their belief is worthless. But if you humans don't want to go astray you must gain this faith. For without faith you will neither call upon God nor appeal for gifts of grace so as to be able to become suitable for the afterlife. Without faith you won't establish the connection with Jesus Christ, Who alone is the path to eternal life .... without faith you won't live your earthly life consciously with a spiritual goal, instead you will live purely an earthly life which achieves nothing for eternal life. Faith has to come alive in you or become convinced faith, if it is merely conventional belief .... Hence you must listen to what God's messengers proclaim to you; you should not instantly reject what you are preached but make an effort to think about it ....

If your will is good you won't find it difficult to believe, in that case you will already be consciously considering the end. You will take the possibility into account; you will try to change, for that is the effect of true faith .... If your will is good .... for good will also always develops the love within itself, because a good will always arises from a good heart.

And love helps you to gain a convinced faith. For this reason good and helpful people are more likely to believe in the end, for this belief arises from love and is constantly nourished by love. Just try to gain the right kind of faith, a living faith, which impels you to work at improving your soul .... And once you have gained it you will also confer it on your fellow human beings, for there is great hardship amongst humanity, precisely because you lack the right faith in Jesus Christ as the Redeemer, in eternal life in the spiritual kingdom. This concept is unreal to people, at best they merely profess it with their mouth while their heart is unaware of it; but then the human being lacks the knowledge and strength to transform himself, subsequently, earthly life comes to an end without having led to the goal, without having attained the maturity which assures him eternal life. And the end is coming ever closer .... Anyone who remains without faith is approaching a dreadful end, a fate which would horrify him if he knew of it. God's messengers, the servants He chose Himself, proclaim it to people and draw their attention to the near end. Listen to them if they come to you, and think about what they say .... and take the possibility into account that they have told you the truth. Then you will strive towards changing yourselves, the earthly world will no longer seem so important to you and you will take better care of your soul; then you will not have to fear the near end either, for it will only be a transition for you into a new life which will make you increasingly happier because it can never be taken from you again ....

Amen

Concluding a period of Salvation ....

B.D. 7390 from August 15th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You can believe without doubt that one period of Salvation is coming to an end, for as soon as you are spiritually inclined you will also be able to observe people's development, and then you will not find it difficult to believe that a change has to occur if I don't want to let humanity fall prey to Satan, who is visibly at work. For the purely worldly-minded person this is indeed no explanation, because he will not accept a low spiritual level since he is unable to see it. Yet the purpose of earthly existence is not a purely-worldly one, but the meaning and purpose of earthly existence rests in the human being's spiritual development, and once this clearly becomes a secondary issue then earthly life has become futile and need no longer be continued by people who totally deny their purpose of existence. But it does not just concern the human being's higher development .... The whole of Creation shelters spiritual substances within itself which likewise go and should go through this process of development, consequently a certain order has to be observed in creation which, however, is being revoked by people and therefore the creations on earth no longer fulfil the purpose which was assigned to them. An unspiritual human race does not live in accordance with My will, and thus it will not use all available works of creation according to My will but assign them for other purposes which therefore endanger the inherent spiritual beings' development or make it impossible .... And such an unspiritual human race is presently populating the earth and endangering its continued existence because it no longer lives on earth in keeping with My will but revokes the divine order and lets its own will break through which opposes My plan of Salvation. Nevertheless, people's will is free ....

And thus their behaviour and activity will not be opposed, instead people themselves will lend a hand to the work of the final destruction, they themselves will hasten the end and don't realise that they nevertheless indirectly proceed in line with My plan of Salvation, since due to the work of destruction the process of development of the spiritual substances which are still constrained in the creations will continue, because a new period of Salvation will start and take its course in lawful order again, as it is destined by My love and wisdom. The fact that the majority of people do not believe it only demonstrates the low spiritual level, because every spiritually awakened person can see for himself that the present situation on earth cannot go on if one wants to speak of spiritual development. But the few of My Own will know that not much time is left until the end because they can see the signs very distinctly which I indicated through Word and Scripture .... The human being must see with spiritual eyes, then humanity's state will be apparent to him. If, however, he only pays attention to the world he will just see economic development and progress, and then he will find it difficult to believe that everything will come to an end, that no-one will be able to enjoy the results of his own effort, his possession of worldly goods, he will only ever see the world and its development and spiritual thoughts will move ever further from his mind the more he observes the world and its progress .... But he will be unable to enjoy what the world has to offer for much longer; very soon he will be able to watch the disintegration, first through My will, through the raging of the elements of nature .... and later through human projects .... after all, I built My eternal plan of Salvation on the basis of people's wrong will, which will give all spirits in the entire universe new possibilities for higher development, because I want to help them achieve spiritual progress.

And thus it will come to pass as it is proclaimed .... and regardless with how much incredulity you humans look at My predictions .... you can expect with certainty that you are approaching tremendous upheavals and that one period of Salvation will come to an end and a new one will begin soon .... For the time has expired that was granted to the spirits by My love, wisdom and might .... And it will come to pass as it has been proclaimed again and again to you humans ....

Amen

Reason for the catastrophe ....

B.D. 8104 from February 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 85

In the last days before the end I will pour a large measure of grace upon humanity .... For I know of their weakness, of their spiritual darkness and their inclination toward the earthly world, their craving for earthly possessions, honour and fame .... I know that they are held captive by My adversary and in their weakness they are incapable of releasing themselves from his power. And I try to help people in various ways since everyone requires support in his spiritual hardship. And I also know what each person needs and therefore consider everyone according to his attitude towards life itself or towards Me. For I want to win every single person for Myself.

But people don't know that My adversary keeps them imprisoned when they desire earthly possessions, since they are oblivious to the true purpose of their earthly existence. Consequently they don't try to escape his control either. And people who cling to material possessions with heart and mind have to be helped by Me in a special way which, however, is not recognised by them as help .... I have to deprive them of their belongings, I have to let them get into situations where they learn to recognise the fleeting nature of all earthly things, I must make them realise their own vulnerability so that they will remember Me in their helplessness and consciously approach Me for help .... For I want them to find Me, Whom they have not found in the world and will also struggle to find .... This is a manifestation of Myself which affects people painfully but they cannot be aroused from their indifference in any other way ....

And yet, even this manifestation is a blessing in the last days, for a heartfelt prayer to Me and its fulfilment can direct the human being towards Me so that he will not leave Me again, so that he will ask for My guidance from that moment on and hand himself over to Me .... And then I will have won him over and saved him from the adversary, who will have lost his power over him. You humans will only ever see the destruction in every kind of natural disaster and make thoughtless judgments as long as you are not affected by them yourselves .... Yet nothing happens without My will or permission, and you should always bear this in mind when you hear about unexpected events threatening people's life and property, when people are powerless and only able to help according to their meagre strength .... But I know every individual person's will and also the possibility of leading erring souls onto the right path to Me .... And truly, I will take care of every individual who prays to Me in spirit and in truth and appeals for My help .... And the time of the end will justify such events which human will is unable to prevent if they were destined by My will .... You humans will often still be subject to the fury of natural forces and only rarely recognise therein My loving care for those whose souls are at risk .... I only want to help you release yourselves from My adversary which initially happens when you send a heartfelt appeal to Me and thus acknowledge Me as your God and Creator .... and then recognise the transience of things which still belong to My adversary. Try to let go of your desire for earthly matter, for all sorts of possessions .... For you will always receive whatever you need when you join Me and recognise your real earthly task and aim to comply with it ....

But don't let yourselves be shackled by My adversary who so temptingly portrays worldly goods to you that I have to intervene Myself by showing you that you can lose them at any time if this is My will. These interventions are painful but they can be a blessing for you .... And the One Who takes away from you can also always give to you. And He will help anyone in distress if he hands himself over to Him in complete faith and appeals for His help .... But always recognise My will in every natural event, for My will is truly determined by love and wisdom and thus everything is a blessing for you as long as you find the right attitude towards Me and realise the true purpose of earthly life .... then you will come ever closer to Me and know that everything I allow to befall humanity is a gift of grace .... For it is the time of the end ....

Amen

God's intervention .... The end of the struggle ....

B.D. 3143 from June 1st 1944, taken from Book No. 41

The more the world becomes entangled in error the more it distances itself from God and the more heartless are the actions and thoughts of people who are worldly minded. And the increased unkindness also propels people into actions which surpass all previous happenings, and so people induce God's intervention themselves. People no longer realise that what they are doing is wrong. Global affairs will be steered into a direction for which no earthly solution can be found anymore, people's thinking is wrong and far removed from the truth, goodness will be persecuted and evil respected, and thus divine order will be revoked which is bound to result in a complete decline. And so the day which puts an end to the chaos comes ever closer, for the situation is so disastrous for humanity that God has set an end to it. And this end is approaching, the end of people raging against each other, the end of the war between nations which could never find God's approval because it is a battle for power which is not based on noble motives. People's hatred and heartlessness have given rise to it, yet they learn nothing in this battle, they have become more heartless than ever and their hate has deepened and manages to achieve such disgraceful deeds that they cannot be surpassed. And God will put a stop to this activity in a way that He shall thereby be recognised .... He will send a dreadful tribulation upon humankind which cannot be averted by their own will. He will terrify them and let them feel their own impotence because the elements of nature will be unleashed, leaving people defenceless and at their mercy.

And this day will not be long in coming. It will arrive so suddenly and unexpectedly that it will cause sheer horror, it will only take hours and yet be of such drastic significance that everything will have changed afterwards and people will only gradually become aware of the disaster when they have realised the full extent of the divine intervention. For God wants to reveal Himself with His intervention, He wants to show them that He Himself will bring about the end because people cannot find an end, because they would rather tear each other apart than give in and bring the indescribable adversity to a close. And this is why the end will be different from how people imagine it, God will demonstrate His power and remove the weapons from the hands of the earthly rulers, He will decide, and the outcome of the war between the nations will disappoint those people who wanted to achieve with violence what they were not entitled to and who therefore shall recognise their helplessness. For it is God Who ultimately determines world events, even if human will thinks that it directs them. And God's wisdom also recognises the most effective means for people and uses it in order to control the chaos which is the result of heartlessness and therefore has to lead to the downfall if God Himself will not put an end to it.

And the period of war will be followed by a new time of conflict which, however, will not erupt for the sake of worldly power but for spiritual supremacy, because the end is near and this spiritual battle will still have to be fought, the battle which concerns the faith in Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer and His teaching ....

Amen

Announcement of a star ....

B.D. 7405 from September 5th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

What you are given through the spirit can be unreservedly accepted by you .... And thus you shall know that earth's approaching end is already becoming apparent in the universe, that cosmic changes are taking place, because it is God's will that at the conclusion of an earth period all kinds of signs shall become obvious which cannot be explained by the human being as natural phenomena, which shall prove a Creator's power to him and which thus most clearly point to such a Creator. And these cosmic changes mostly concern the deviations of stars from their normal course, which assume different orbits, and such processes are and will remain inexplicable to people and yet cannot be denied. The closer the end is approaching the more frequently will people detect such phenomena, at first barely perceptible but with rising prominence, so that people can truly say 'the powers of the heavens are being shaken ....' It won't be related to human will, it shall be entirely an expression of God's will, and therefore all people could believe in God if only they would attentively observe such unusual phenomena. But anyone unwilling to believe cannot be more plainly convinced either that a God and Creator exists Whom all elements in nature have to obey .... However, anyone who pays attention to Him will also know what hour has struck ....

And thus a star will leave its usual orbit and move towards earth. This star takes its course independent from people's will and poses a grave threat to them, yet its path will not be restrained, because earth must endure a tremor for the sake of humanity's detriment as well as its benefit .... For many people will thereby lose their lives, as it was proclaimed long in advance .... And the earth will suffer an impact .... The danger to the entire planet will be inconceivable, yet this natural catastrophe will not result in total destruction but nevertheless be on such an unimaginable scale that it will already be the end for untold people. Yet those who survive will approach the final end soon afterwards .... an act of destruction brought about by human will, which certainly will be permitted by God but is not His will .... whereas the former cosmic catastrophe still had a redemptive purpose by even now giving unbelievers a final indication of a Power Which controls everything and that nothing happens by chance.

They shall still be given a means of rescue, a final means of attaining faith as not to go astray. Through this event God Himself speaks to people who disregard his gentle voice, but His loud voice often resounds painfully and thus will claim many victims, that is, many will find their death, but they nevertheless will still have the opportunity in the kingdom of the beyond to catch up with what they had neglected to do on earth. Yet many will also have the grace of surviving the final short period until the end, and then their will to believe is once again decisive, for the unbelievers will not derive any benefit from their experience .... And in the end they will only reap the fate of a new banishment, from which God in His love would like to protect people. And this is why he admonishes and warns people in advance and draws their attention to all phenomena in the last days .... and blessed is he who believes and lives his life accordingly on earth .... He will be led through all difficulties, and whatever happens to him will be beneficial for his soul and his maturing on this earth ....

Amen

God’s help after the catastrophe

Time after the catastrophe .... strength and help from God ....

B.D. 2557 from November 21st 1942, taken from Book No. 33

World events certainly continue on their course, but in completely different ways. divine will turns it around because human will does not do so, and the battle, which was evoked to a great extent through unkindness, would never come to an end. There is only a short time left and during this time the lack of love will increase many times over, i.e., the most unbelievable cruelties will take place and people will take little offence because they only ever look at the earthly consequences and affirm them. Countless people will come into hardship and misery and need God but will not find the path to God, instead they will nurture hatred within themselves and repay evil with evil. And that is why an event is planned that will leave no human being unscathed where God expresses Himself. Everyone will be affected, each in a different way .... everyone will be torn out of their usual life and will have to exert themselves with the utmost vigour in order to control the great misery and make life bearable. But life will go on for those whom God allows to live. But it will become a burden for many people who are not in contact with God, for only such contact makes life on earth bearable .... What people will experience is unimaginable, for the natural disaster through which God expresses Himself is so powerful that it will mean a single work of destruction and will be the end of time for many people. And the survivors will initially be unable to help and yet feel compelled to do so because the disaster is so great that anyone who is not entirely without love will feel compassion within himself. For it is necessary to bring help to all the unfortunate. It is partly the instinct of self-preservation which drives people to move and be active, and the power of faith will also enable people to accomplish the most difficult works. But the unbelievers will torment themselves unspeakably because they lack strength and the immense labour requires it. The hardship will be great and yet bearable with God's help .... And that is why the way is to be shown to people beforehand so that they can enter it when they are in need. World events are still taking their course, people are still making plans and thinking of a better future. And everything will turn out differently than they expect .... What still stands today can fall or experience the greatest changes .... And human will can do nothing but turn to the father and creator in faithful trust and commend itself to His grace. For God is ready to help if only He is called upon. And only with divine support can life continue in a bearable way after severe suffering if the human being does not want to sink into extreme unkindness and obtain unjustified relief by taking advantage of his fellow human beings. God's love warns them beforehand and He shows them the right way to guide His children through the difficult time ahead. And no-one needs to be afraid or remember the time with dread if he is deeply faithful and stands in love .... And therefore strive for strong faith and remain active in love, and you will lead earthly life to the end, for you will never lack strength if you sincerely ask for it from God ....

Amen

God's exceptional help after the natural disaster ....

B.D. 7331 from April 10th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

There will be indescribable chaos amongst people after I have spoken through the forces of nature, for they all will fear that the event might repeat itself and thus live restlessly and afraid amid the ruins caused by the elements of nature and yet due to My will, which had expressed itself therein. People will have to go through an appalling time, a time which was hardly ever experienced by people inhabiting this earth.

Yet it is the time of the end when everything takes place to an exceptional extent in order to still awaken people. But again, even the natural disaster will only make a few people think, whereas the majority of people will indignantly dismiss every belief in a God and Creator Who allows such destructions to happen as can be seen by everyone. Yet no-one considers his own behaviour or how he should behave before God, before Me, to Whom they had merely paid lip-service without, however, having a living faith in Me or having made contact with Me .... And only a few will then turn to Me in their great distress, but these few will also visibly get a taste of My help, I will so obviously support them that it will strengthen their faith in a Power Which holds their destiny in the palm of Its hand. Everything only happens in order to let people find the bond with Me but only ever a few will derive a blessing from the forthcoming event, for humanity is already too enslaved by My adversary to turn to Me and appeal for My help. And therefore I cannot reveal Myself to them either, but I will most certainly do so with those who subsequently take refuge with Me in their adversity. The severity of suffering will let many pray more sincerely which makes the fulfilment of their prayers much easier for Me, because their belief in a God capable of help is evident and because they will then so beseech Me that I will truly come to help them in their distress. And then My servants will have ample opportunity to convey My Word to the people, who will so hungrily accept it as will rarely be found. The disbelievers, however, will be filled by even more hatred than before towards the preachers of My Word as well as towards those who visibly experience My help .... But they will not allow themselves to be converted, instead their unkindness will merely testify to their affiliation with My adversary and will clearly resist Me and My love, which also wants to win them over but cannot get through to them.

There will be much adversity and yet, it will not be hopeless, because I can always be approached in prayer with a request to improve matters and because I will grant a true prayer in order to reveal Myself to those who are not entirely enslaved by My adversary. But it has to be left up to people to call upon Me, and therefore everything has to happen within a natural framework, yet easily perceptible to people who still harbour a glimmer of faith and to whom I will reveal Myself so that their faith will not be lost but gain in strength and intensity. The occasion is ahead of you and cannot be prevented by you since you yourselves don't endeavour to make the effort to change your ways and since, due to your disposition and activities, you will bring the time to fruition .... because you yourselves will hasten the end as a result of your attitude and because the time is fulfilled which you were granted for the maturing of your souls ....

Amen

The time of the battle of faith

Signs of the last days .... Battle of faith .... Chaos ....

B.D. 3209 from August 2nd 1944, taken from Book No. 42

To specify (know?) the moment of spiritual change would not benefit humanity since the precise knowledge is an interference with free will, because at the approach of the predicted time the human being would feel obliged to change his way of life. But it is not God's will that people shall receive knowledge of the day and hour when He sits in judgment over them, they shall only know that the end is near and by the signs of the time become aware of this end. However, if devout human beings ask Him for clarification He will answer them in a manner that is helpful for the salvation of their soul ....

The Last Judgment is preceded by the last days, which last just a few months and are characterized by an exceptionally rigorous battle of faith. As soon as this battle of faith is carried out quite openly, as soon as all secrecy is ignored and all spiritual aspirations are bluntly and recklessly attacked, as soon as laws and decrees are endorsed which prohibit people's spiritual pursuits, as soon as all divine commandments are no longer observed, as soon as all believers are persecuted and have no more rights, the last days have entered into their final phase and the Last Judgment can be expected daily and hourly .... However, before this battle of faith flares up, humanity will find itself in a spiritual and worldly chaos; there will be noticeable regression in every respect. And this regression will be initiated by people who are dominated by Satan. He will show himself in earthly devastation and destruction, in heartless laws, in a God- opposing way of life, in civil disobedience and rebellion against the governing powers and in brutal oppression by the latter, in restriction of freedom and in evasion of law and justice.

These conditions will ensue after a huge earthly tremor, which takes place in accordance with God's will in order to terminate a conflict between nations that human will fails to end. For the people who are affected by this earthly tremor it will denote a change of their accustomed way of life, it will be a time of greatest deprivation and most difficult living conditions, and although this time will be favourable for the spreading of the divine Word it will not signify a revival of a worldly-clerical power. People will indeed eagerly strive to improve their earthly living conditions but these efforts will not be compatible with spiritual aspirations, with the belief in an Authority Which holds them to account and with the divine commandments that require love. And that is why everything that interferes with the return to the former good living standard comes under attack. Thus the battle of faith will start soon after the divine intervention which turns global affairs into a different direction. The events will follow each other quickly as they are hastened by people's low spirit, and this spiritual low shows itself in people's heartless actions, in their thinking, which shows extreme depravity and which prepares deeds that can only be called satanic. And thereby you can identify the moment in time when God's intervention can be anticipated. The global affairs themselves shall be a timetable to you, by the actions people are capable of doing you can see that they have totally distanced themselves from God and this clearly contradicts the opinion that this human race can still expect a spiritual renaissance.

The people who faithfully remain with God will indeed intensify their intimate relationship with Him, they will be in truth His church which will stand firm amid misery and affliction, but it is just a small group. The world, however, denies God, it is hostile towards all who support God, and this spiritual need signifies that the end is near .... Therefore pay attention to the signs of the time, pay attention to humanity's conduct, to their desertion of God and their preference of the world, when people are evidently influenced by Satan, when they are enslaved by him and do everything to disobey the divine commandments, when nothing is sacred to them any longer, neither the life of their fellow human beings nor their possessions; when lies triumph and the truth is treated with hostility you know that the end is not far. Then you can watch the events unfold as they are revealed to you, because it will all take place during the lifetime of a man who, in a manner of speaking, hastens the disintegration, who pays homage to the destructive principle, who is not constructively but destructively active. And this man's end is also the end of the world, i.e. the end of the world in its present form and the end of those people who presently inhabit the earth, which are separate from those who belong to God. And now you know that there is not much time, that you are not given a long period of time and that the end is upon you shortly. And for this reason you have to prepare yourselves, you have to live as if every day is your last because you don't know when you will be called back and whether you will live to see the end of the earth. If, however, you are needed as defenders of God during the time of battle before the end, God will also guide your thoughts correctly and you will know when the time has come .... the time of the divine intervention by means of unleashing the forces of nature, the time of the battle of faith and the time of the Last Judgment .... It is God's will that you make people aware, thus He will also enlighten your spirit and guide your thoughts in a manner that you understand correctly and only voice and reveal to your fellow human beings what you have understood properly ....

Amen

Antichrist .... End ....

B.D. 3672 from January 31th 1946, taken from Book No. 46

The spirit of the Antichrist has been in the world since Jesus Christ accomplished of His act of Salvation. He has constantly attempted to undermine His act, he has always and forever fought Jesus' followers, he has always and forever driven people into heartlessness, thus he has actively opposed Christ's will and teaching on earth, partly by means of spiritually confusing people's thoughts and partly, in human appearance, clothed in a gown of knowledge and intelligence. The teaching of Jesus Christ was opposed by a human teaching at all times which aimed to weaken it, thus it was antichristian, and this has always been Satan's work, the work of forces from below which intended to cause people's desertion from God or to obstruct their way to Him. And this antichristian activity is steadily on the increase and will be blatantly self-evident before the end .... Satan himself will be active on earth in human form, the Antichrist in person, whose activity will be extremely ominous for the whole of the human race. For he will initiate laws which aim to eradicate spiritually-minded thoughts, which will prevent all spiritual endeavour and intend to entirely secularize people. And this will be the last work of the one who fights against God, for he will be transgressing the limit of his authority, which is relentlessly punished by God .... The change of worldly events will be rapid, extensive worldly changes will occur in short succession and a ruling power will come to the fore by wanting to direct the state of affairs of all nations and, instead of order, will cause utter disorder. For his regulations will first and foremost apply to the suppression of all faith. He will find many supporters on earth, and that will be the sign for the End. For people won't resist it but will almost unanimously profess and celebrate him as a hero and victor whose goal they acknowledge and consequently also support.

And this will be the start of the most difficult time for believers. It will seem incomprehensible to them what is going on in the world, it will seem incomprehensible to them that God's love and patience allow His most sacred name to be slandered and ridiculed and Jesus Christ's followers to be ostracized and pursued in a most brutal way. Yet they penetrate the truth of the divine Word ever more, which has predicted all this, and thus they also faithfully commit themselves to God's guidance. The Antichrist rages in a most frightening way, he dazzles people by the actions he implements with support of strength from below .... Satan himself works through him as the opposing spirit of the One Who works in the living creations of love and faith, in people, who love God above all else and firmly believe in Him and thus have to suffer great adversities due to God's opponent. People will pay homage to him, they will erect altars, they will proclaim him as the Messiah bringing salvation to them, for he will achieve feats which will impress people, yet they will not be works of love but mere activities of arrogance and craving for power. He will work as a human being, try to explain his strength as human strength and oppose and deny everything that is divine, that points to and testifies of God. And his willpower will be rock hard .... He will give orders, and anyone resisting his command will be destroyed by him .... He will seek to prohibit all teachings of Christ, all knowledge of Him and His act of Salvation, he will try to drag everything through the mud and regally reward those who assist him in his quest against Christ, just as he, full of hatred, will also take actions against His followers ....

The Antichrist's stature will be recognisable by its external good looks, by his physical strength .... for Satan conceals himself so as not to be recognised for who he is. And his extraordinary abilities will draw humanity's attention to him, there will be no end of admiration. He will reside on earth in external splendour and grandeur, in contrast to Jesus Christ Who lived inconspicuously amongst his brothers, devoid of all earthly possessions with a love-filled heart for his fellow human beings. But the Antichrist's heart will be callous and unemotional towards all worldly hardship and yet humanity will jubilantly applaud him, blinded by his external brilliance and strength. He will appear suddenly and unexpected at a time of utmost earthly adversity and, with strong hands, promise relief, seize power and authority without meeting any resistance, because people only pay attention to the harsh conditions on earth and ignore this hero's spirit, who will want to distinguish himself and, with the help of like-minded people, elevate himself as a ruler. And then the end will be near .... For the resulting battle of faith will be the prelude to the entire work of destruction of earth .... It will only last a short time but with such intensity that it will require an extremely strong faith as not to succumb.

Yet once again God Himself will confront His adversary .... For He is in spirit amongst those who fight on His behalf, and the Antichrist runs in vain against the bastion of faith .... And he will fall from his throne into the mire of damnation .... His government will not last long but will cause unspeakable misery amongst the whole of humanity which will predominantly support him and abandon all faith in God, which will believe his earthly implementations and will thus finally also share the damnation, for it will be subject to God's adversary and therefore also share his fate. And this will be the End .... Jesus Christ will remain victorious and His church will continue to exist for all eternity ....

Amen

Struggle of faith .... deny God .... end ....

B.D. 6083 from October 19th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The time is approaching when you will be faced with the decision to confess Me and My name before the world .... And this will take place in such a way that you will all be appalled by the brutality of people who are in bondage to My adversary .... which is expressed by the fact that they obviously take action against Me. The form of the battle of faith you have to expect is hardly conceivable to you now because the earth has not experienced anything like it since its existence .... For at all times there was a belief amongst people in a higher being to Whom people were subordinate. And this being was worshipped, even though people usually had a wrong idea of this being and thus a kind of polytheism developed .... but people always gave honour to one 'god'. And the question of dispute was always which of the many gods was the right god, if only one god was to be accepted .... But the battle that will now break out is about the complete eradication of the doctrines of faith .... in a being that is only recognized through faith .... This belief in a higher being is to be eradicated .... The belief in itself is considered to be detrimental to humanity and is therefore fought against with all severity .... One tries to scientifically explain and justify everything in creation, but to eliminate a creating power .... i.e. to deny it completely .... They want to create a different level of thought for people, and so they are rigorously demanded to give up all previous thinking and knowledge and to affirm this openly before their fellow human beings .... Thus My adversary, who only uses people to achieve his aim of ousting Me from people's hearts, is clearly and unequivocally declaring war on Me Myself .... It is not about the victory of one school of thought over the other, it is not about reforming a doctrine .... It is only about faith in Me, Who must be acknowledged as saviour Jesus Christ if you humans want to become blessed. And you should now deny Me, you should decide for Me or for My adversary .... This demand will be made of you humans and you should now resist it. You shall openly confess for Me .... you should fearlessly side with Me and thereby provide the evidence that you belong to My own who will remain faithful to Me until the end and whom I will fetch in utmost adversity. This is the end when My adversary will obviously take action against Me. Then the hour of judgment has come, for then he exceeds the limits of his authority and then I intervene and imprison him .... Then My might and power and glory come forth and exact retribution according to law and justice ....

Amen

Professing Jesus before the world .... Voicing the name of Jesus ....

B.D. 4831 from February 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Profess Me and don't hesitate to frankly mention My name when your attitude regarding your faith and Me is demanded of you. For your heartfelt avowal draws Me Myself to your side and all fear will leave you, you will speak candidly and without inhibition about matters of faith, about My teaching, about My working in you and on your behalf and also about the future. Then you will pull down a wall, a wall of silence, behind which much can be concealed and which is therefore suitable for covering-up the truth. Speak fearlessly wherever it may be, for I Myself will take you to where you will be asked to profess Me. Not much more time will pass until you, who still believe in a God, in life after death, will be mocked by the world, for increasingly more worldly people fall away and everything that is neither visible nor tangible is unreal to them. These worldly people will develop an open enmity towards the believers who, as a constant target, can barely protect themselves against the animosities. Nevertheless, it should not make you fearful, it must happen like this because the time is fulfilled when a separation between My Own and the supporters of My adversary takes place, who aims to stifle all faith in Me and by whom they are enslaved. You should know that I Myself Am with you, both in spirit as well as visibly, where necessary .... Know, that you are far stronger than they are, even if there are more of them. For as long as I fight by your side no-one will ever be able to defeat you. Yet you must openly and confidently stand up for Me, so that the enemy will recognise Who provides you with strength, because it will be obvious that you receive exceptional help. Simply voice My name with complete faith if you are being pressured, confront your assailants with My name, call upon Me with your heart and mouth and fear no earthly power .... and I will provide strength to all those of good will, to all who want to be My Own, as I have promised. In the name of your divine Redeemer you possess a weapon which truly cannot be surpassed, because all My love belongs to every person who manages to find faith in Me during the last days .... And anyone who professes Me before the world also proves his unwavering faith to Me and I will take particular care of him. Soon you will be forced to confirm or reject Me, then don't fear the worldly power, instead, merely remember My Words: Whosoever therefore shall profess Me before men, him I will also profess before My Father .... You will be forced to make a decision for Jesus Christ or against Him. Then gladly profess Him before the world, for you can only reach Me through Jesus, only through faith in His act of Salvation and His help can you come close to Me, the Father, Whose love wants to unite itself with everyone as it united with Jesus, Who redeemed the world from sin on account of His infinite love ....

Amen

God’s help during the battle of faith

Help from above in the final battle of faith ....

B.D. 6832 from May 17th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

You will be fully compensated in the spiritual kingdom for all the hardships imposed on you by earthly life if you take them upon yourselves with devotion and pay less attention to your body than to your soul. I have prepared a glorious fate for all those who have to bear suffering and hardship for the sake of My name, who value Me and My kingdom more highly than earthly goods and earthly rewards .... who prove their loyalty to Me by gladly taking physical hardship and deprivation upon themselves when it is necessary to confess for Me and My kingdom .... For this time will come one day and make great demands on you humans. Much will be taken from you if you refuse to deny Me. They will try to force you with brute force and you will need much strength to resist but you will also receive it in abundance. Yet physically you will not be able to indulge but only ever have what you need to sustain your life. For this comes to you from Me, because I Myself take care of My own when they are deprived of everything by an enemy power. But it is only a short time and they will be repaid a thousand fold for their loyalty .... on the new earth or also in the spiritual kingdom where glories await them which are inconceivable to them. But as long as they are still on earth I will assure them of My constant help, I will truly not leave them in earthly adversity, no matter how threatening and dangerous their situation may seem .... He who sustains heaven and earth can also sustain you who stand by Me and openly confess this before the world. And for the sake of My own I will also shorten the days. (17.5.1957) I know that they are difficult for you and I don't want you to waver in your faith because you are still weak people despite your will and because I also know how much My adversary will press you in your battle of faith. And I will not let you fall into his hands. That is why the last battle on this earth will take place in a very short time, and you can confidently and with full faith expect My imminent coming as soon as this battle erupts on earth. But then you should also humbly take all difficulties upon yourselves and only ever confidently wait for My help, for I will not leave you. And you should not grieve for those whom I fetch home first, whose earthly life seems particularly difficult to you and gives you cause for doubt .... For a glorious fate truly awaits them in My kingdom, and their suffering and hardship on earth will be repaid to them a thousand fold as well as the loyalty they have shown Me. And thus no person need fear the coming difficult time who already feels inwardly connected to Me, who is willing to fulfil My will, to serve Me and thereby come close to Me .... For he already belongs to Me and his further fate is only the ladder to ascend the final height. And then all those promises concerning My care for you will obviously come true: I will refresh you .... I will hear your petitions .... I will take care of your body and your earthly life, I will make the burden easy for you and only put a gentle yoke on you .... I will take Me as your father so that you will not be orphaned in the world .... for the world will hate you and persecute you, it will cast you out of its community, and My little flock will fearfully flee to its shepherd, and My sheepfold will receive all of them and grant them safe shelter. I will deny the wolf his further advance, and shortly, therefore, the fate of him who is .... completely dominated by My adversary .... will play a major role in that battle of faith, who himself rules over his followers and whose measures will be directed against all believers and thus also against Me Myself, Whom he seeks to dethrone. He will not have a long life span, and this should also be an indication to you and a hope that only a short time will pass until the end comes, which means redemption from all adversity for My own ....

Amen

Difficult living conditions .... God's guidance and help ....

B.D. 4058 from June 7th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

Entirely different living conditions will also necessitate an entirely different way of life and people will find themselves faced by tasks which seem impossible for them to accomplish and yet they have to be solved because they are vital for their survival. And this is when My Own will have to prove themselves, that is, they will have to test the strength of faith and utterly trustingly wait for My help, and they will be helped. This is the time when profoundly faithful people will bear witness to the unbelievers as to what the devout human being can achieve if he trusts in God's help, if he hands himself over to Me with profound faith and confides his severe adversity to Me in prayer. They will receive help and life will become bearable for them, although still very difficult. Yet I also gave them the promise which I want to remind you of now: that I will shorten the days for My Own's sake. And thus the hour comes ever closer when I will come in the clouds, and this second coming of Mine will signify true salvation for My Own who will find themselves in grave difficulties and require My obvious help .... As long as they still live on earth they will also be exposed to suffering, i.e., they will not be entirely insensitive as yet to harassments and threats from the world. Yet the strength of their faith will let them bear all suffering more easily, even if now and then it will affect them quite severely.

And thus people will divide themselves into two camps, those who do not believe and therefore have little contact with the spiritual world, and those whose contact with Me means everything to them and who will not start anything without first appealing for My blessing and who therefore will also clearly recognise My guidance, since due to their love for Me they also sense My presence within them and My presence always signifies strength and thus makes it easier to overcome that which is a far greater burden for people without My strength. And then My Own will recognise each other by their strength of faith, they will unite and console each other with the coming of the Lord .... Full of hope they will anticipate Me and yearn for Me in their love, they will firmly believe in My coming, and I will not disappoint their faith and help them where help is necessary, and I will come to fetch them when the adversity becomes unbearable, so that they will not fall away from Me, so that they will remain steadfast until the end and be able to enter the paradise of the new earth, because they remained loyal to Me even in their greatest adversity ....

Amen

The time of the end

Immense affliction before the end ....

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

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

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

Amen

The Flood .... Last days .... Worldly progress ....

B.D. 4374 from July 13th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Shortly before the end it will be just like it was at the time of the Flood. People will have a great liking for all worldly pleasures, they will indulge their physical longings and vices, they will lead an immoral and unethical way of life and send no thought to the One above, Who is Lord over heaven and earth. For they will have no more faith .... The spiritual level will be the lowest ever since the beginning of this developmental period. Mocking and blaspheming they will confront the few believers with hostility, pursue them and deny them everything they need for living. They themselves, however, will feast and gorge themselves, they will live and love .... but their love will be

false and their way of life wrong, for the devil's servants will populate the earth in the last days, and the disintegration of earth will merely end a state which no longer allows people's higher development.

It will be a time of sinfulness which will go beyond all imagination. God will be completely displaced and those who believe in Him will be in danger of being killed .... And God Himself will put an end to this period, the last day will arrive suddenly and unexpectedly amid the ecstasy of the world in which the people of the last days constantly live .... Hence, prior to this an apparent progress will be noticeable, everything of a worldly nature will be offered to people, their demand for worldly things will be extreme and everyone will unscrupulously grant himself whatever his mind desires; the strong will fight the weak and the winner will be the one who heartlessly acquires what he doesn't deserve, because he is supported by Satan himself who bestows material favours on him and incites him to increased enjoyment of life.

Sin will escalate to an alarming extent and Judgment will come to pass when no-one expects it. For once people have reached this level of development they will have to be devoured by the earth, as they will have become true servants of the devil and completely deny God. And then the hour of accountability will come to all sinners, the day of God's Justice will arrive, the Day of Judgment will come to all who belong to God's adversary and the day of Recompense for the few who are faithful to God, who persevere and don't fall prey to the temptations of the world .... as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture .... A salvation period will come to an end because humanity will be ready for its downfall.

Amen

End of the world .... Judgment Day ....

B.D. 3519 from August 22nd 1945, taken from Book No. 45

The end will come when no-one expects it .... It will be a time when God-rejecting people are enjoying life to the full while God's faithful are anxiously awaiting the coming of the Lord. The former, however, don't spend a single thought on the forthcoming end, they live for the moment without scruples or tempering their earthly pleasures, they indulge themselves, commit sins and are totally subject to Satan's influence. It will be a time when an apparent improvement of living conditions has been achieved, when earthly hardship has diminished for people complying with the demands of the ruling power, when only those people have to suffer who are excluded on account of their faith. And in the midst of this euphoria the Judgment will come .... surprising even God's faithful since nothing before will have given the impression that a change of their sad situation might occur. Humanity is rife with guilt of sin, it has completely detached itself from God and turned to His adversary, it has received his share on earth, earthly pleasures in abundance, and people's intentions and endeavours get increasingly worse and demonstrate themselves in their actions against the faithful, who are mercilessly bullied and helpless against their power and brutal aggression. They do a first class job for Satan and humanity is ready for destruction. And thus the end will come as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture .... It will be a horrendous day for people, the earth will split open, fires will break through the earth's crust and all elements will be in uproar .... And people trying to flee will break into indescribable panic, yet wherever they turn they will find the same everywhere, certain destruction ....

The end has come for all whose mind is turned away from God .... and the deliverance from greatest danger for His Own, who will be removed alive and thus escape physical death. God has already announced this time long in advance, yet no-one appreciates His predictions, and thus people will suddenly find themselves in a dreadful situation from which there is no escape. The destruction of the old earth has been decided since eternity, but when it will happen remains hidden from people, and thus they will experience it at a time when they believe themselves safe and masters of the world, when they try to get as much enjoyment as possible out of life, when they are totally captivated by the world and therefore exclude God from their thoughts.

And thus God reminds people of Himself .... He calls to account those who sin against Him because they refuse to acknowledge Him .... He sits in Judgment over humanity and separates people by lifting His Own into His kingdom and banishing the others once again .... by leaving them to lose their lives in an appalling way and imprisoning their souls once more, i.e. by constraining the soul's will so that it will have to take the path of development through the new creation again. This is a cruel act and yet one of divine justice, for people's sinfulness will have reached its climax. They are of service to Satan and have become sheer devils themselves; nothing else can be given to them but physical destruction and spiritual captivity so that God's faithful will be released from them and able to lead a life of peace and harmony on the new earth.

And although God is ever forgiving and patient while the sinfulness keeps growing .... the end will come without fail and at a time when it is least expected. For even the believers will be shocked, because everything worldly appears to prevail, because the increasing power of the world's representatives has rendered the faithful helpless and without rights. And thus the world appears stable and yet is so close to its destruction .... until the day comes, which God has determined since eternity, which no-one is able to predetermine and which, according to God's plan, will nevertheless bring the final disintegration of everything on earth. Only God knows the day, people shall always expect it and prepare themselves for it so that they will belong to those who will be taken away by God in advance, so that they will not belong to those who will be condemned on the Day of Judgment, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Destruction of earth is the result of experiments ....

B.D. 8624 from September 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The final work of the earth's destruction will be triggered by you humans yourselves. And I will not stop you, because I also consider the spiritual substance which, as a result of this work of destruction, will be liberated from matter and able to continue its process of development in new forms on the new earth. You have been informed of this several times already and yet have little belief, for the whole event is simply unimaginable to you. Nevertheless, it is the conclusion of a period of development which will lead to a new period, so that the work of return can once again successfully proceed in lawful order, which was no longer evident before the destruction of the old earth. My adversary completes his last satanic work by influencing people to do something which he has no power to do himself: to destroy works of creation .... in the belief of thereby releasing the constrained spirits and taking control of them. He manipulates people and induces them to carry out all kinds of experiments which, however, will fail with devastating effect due to peoples' lack of knowledge. For people dare to experiment without having explored the outcome .... they will unleash forces they cannot control and consequently are doomed to die. And with them the creation work earth, too, will be subject to enormous destructions .... The entire earth's surface will totally change, all works of creation on earth will fall prey to destruction, the effects will penetrate to the core of the earth, and thus one can speak of a destruction of enormous proportions although people themselves will not be able to observe it, apart from the small flock which I will lead away from earth beforehand into a realm of peace.

I Myself would never allow such destruction if I would not thereby gain new opportunities of salvation for the still constrained spiritual substance, which has already languished for an infinitely long time in hardest matter .... Yet continued development would also be possible for this spiritual substance if people did not reverse the lawful order and always just lived up to their helpful task on earth .... But people no longer live within divine order, and therefore My adversary exerts great influence over them and impels them to start a process in the hope of gaining the return of the constrained spirits to him. And I will not stop him, since it still depends on every person's own free will to comply with My adversary's inducement .... Nevertheless, regardless of what people do, I will always know how to utilise the effects of their actions correctly. For even the world of darkness is subject to Me and My might, and it will have to serve Me while at the same time taking part in My work of return, if only unconsciously. But I have always known the direction of humanity's will and I was able to incorporate it in My plan of Salvation .... I know when the moment in time has come when spiritual progress can no longer be expected ....

I also know when the time has come to liberate the constrained spiritual substances, and therefore will not prevent people's activity when they set an enormous work of destruction into motion due to their misguided will, which aims for My adversary, and thus people are his willing instruments. For he himself is unable to destroy any work of creation, he cannot dissolve any kind of matter and all power over the spirits has been taken away from him. This is why he tries to regain it, and people who belong to him contribute themselves towards the disintegration of matter .... at first through countless experiments which then take on proportions which matter can no longer withstand .... But I allow the spirits captivated therein to be set free, if only at the expense of humanity, which itself has reached a spiritual low that requires a new banishment into matter .... And irrespective of what My adversary and the people who belong to him will undertake .... in the final analysis it will nevertheless serve the progress of the spiritual substances again, which is meant to reach perfection one day. Therefore My plan of Salvation will surely be implemented, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Disintegration .... Work of destruction .... Renewed banishment ....

B.D. 4353 from June 25th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Spiritual progress can never be achieved in a world of hatred and unkindness, and therefore the earth is failing in its real purpose of helping the spiritual substances embodied in it to attain higher development. Therefore the time has come for the manifold creations, which are intended to accomplish this purpose, to be dissolved and to release the spirits for the purpose of receiving new forms. For humanity, however, this disintegration signifies a fall from its already achieved advancement into the deepest abyss; it signifies a return into hardest matter and a repeated process through all works of creation on the new earth. But due to their lack of love people are completely ignorant and have neither time nor will to dwell on what lies ahead of them if the information is presented to them. They do not concern themselves with spiritual problems and this, too, is a sign that the time of the disintegration of the old earth has come. They are not open to any relevant clarification, they only live for their earthly interests and refuse all spiritual conversations. Consequently, admonitions and warnings are fruitless.

If, however, there is no further likelihood for a spiritual change to take place on earth, if a spiritual forward motion is completely out of the question, then only a complete decline can be expected; but God will not allow this to happen, instead He will transform the earth prior to it. This certainly involves a complete work of destruction yet it is intended in the plan of eternity in order to provide the completely degenerated human race, that is, the bound souls within, with the possibility of higher development again, because God's infinite love will never let anything fall completely, even if it is still totally opposed to Him. Earth's final destruction is therefore an act of supreme compassion at the same time, yet it will come to pass without fail in order to prevent an even further decline of people who, due to their heartlessness, have already severed every connection with God and widened the gulf between Him and themselves and thus lack all strength for higher development. And this is why God will come to their assistance, He will deprive them of their external cover and confine the spirits again, so that the infinitely wide chasm, which was established by people's free will, shall become less again in the state of compulsion, so that the spiritual substance will come closer to God again in the constrained state and once again receive the opportunity to use its freedom of will correctly in order to attain God, if only after an infinitely long time ....

Amen

God’s help for His confessors

Coming in the clouds .... Rapture .... End ....

B.D. 4531 from January 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

And I will come to you to carry you into My kingdom .... Remember this promise during your hours of distress and wait for Me and My help, firmly believe that I will come as your Saviour when the adversity becomes insufferable. And don't be afraid, for I Am stronger than the one who wants to ruin you. You should know that it would be easy for Me to destroy him; yet nothing would be achieved by this for his many followers would continue his work if they were not destroyed as well. This, however, is not acceptable, for that which came forth from My creative spirit will continue to exist forever, it cannot cease to exist because it is everlasting strength from Me. Nevertheless, I will rescue you from his power by banishing him and all those who are enslaved by him. You, however, will be led into the kingdom of peace where you will live as if you were in paradise, until I return you to the new earth which you then shall populate according to My will. No-one will believe this promise, this prophesy, for when I come in the clouds I will repeal the natural laws by lifting you up to Me in the flesh before your fellow human beings' eyes who succumbed to My adversary. They will effectively experience something unnatural, which they currently don't want to believe in.

But you, who are My Own, you know that nothing is impossible for Me, and therefore you also know that I can stop or revoke natural laws if it benefits My eternal plan of Salvation, thus you also know that there will be an end and that you are living in the last days before the end. Consequently you do not doubt this proclamation either, which I imparted to humanity at the beginning of this period of Salvation. You consider it possible, and you should firmly believe it, so that you subsequently will be able to survive the difficult time, always thinking and hoping for my assured help and My coming from above. Regardless of what evil people will do to you, don't take offence, for they will receive their punishment which will be bitter indeed. They will see you being lifted up before their eyes while death is lurking around them and they will be unable to escape in any direction; they will be devoured by the earth and be granted a wretched fate on the new earth. You, however, will receive your just compensation, all hardship will have come to an end, you will live in freedom and with joy on the new earth amid a paradise, amid love and in direct contact with Me, Who will often stay amongst the people who have become love. And this is the end which was predicted by seers and prophets time and again, which was announced ever since the beginning of this epoch of Salvation so that humanity will believe. Yet no-one takes these predictions seriously, nevertheless, the day will come when all this will happen and the last Judgment will occur, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Witnesses to the end on the new earth for descendants ....

B.D. 5743 from August 9th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You shall be My witnesses on the new earth, you shall give evidence of Me and My glory, of My might and love, for you will experience all these at the end of this earth .... you will see Me coming in the clouds in radiant brilliance of My splendour .... you will feel My love when I save you from utmost hardship, when I remove you before your fellow human beings' eyes who, with a truly satanic mind, have every intention to kill you. You shall experience the evidence of My power, because the last work of destruction on this earth will take place before your eyes. And thus you will enter the kingdom of peace with an experience which you are meant to remember in order to bear witness to future generations, to people who will only receive knowledge about the events on the old earth on account of your information, so that they, in turn, will pass it on again and thereby uphold the knowledge on the new earth for a long time. You shall bear witness to Me and My glory ....

A devout generation, faithfully devoted to Me, will indeed populate the new earth, who will not doubt My strength and might, My love and perfection. And as long as I Myself can dwell amongst them because their faith and love for Me allows for it, it will not be necessary for you to testify of your experience .... But as soon as new generations come forth from them they will have to be given the knowledge again and the end process of the old earth has to be particularly emphasised, so that these new generations will also intimately unite with Me in order to be and remain My children .... The living testimony will have a remarkable effect on their hearts, and they too shall proclaim in future times what they received from you .... Then faith and love for Me will be upheld for a long time, for a long time the human generation will live in peace and unity, in harmony with the Infinite, in constant contact with Me, and My spirit will be able to flow into their hearts, they will be able to hear My Word and be blissfully happy.

And yet, even this situation will change. At first the influence of adverse powers will be only slightly noticeable and then gradually get ever stronger .... For the constrained spiritual substances in creation will arrive at the stage of embodiment as human beings once more, and these will have developed in different ways, so tendencies and instincts will surface in their human state which require more changes, which will still betray a tiny resistance to Me, and therefore human beings who need special, more effective methods of education .... will live on earth again. And then it will be necessary to inform them about what effect a way of life in opposition to Me will have. Then the battle between light and darkness will start anew, for the desire for matter will start to grow stronger in people's hearts again, they will no longer be able to hear My Word directly, and messengers of My Word will speak to them on My behalf. And for the sake of a living message, testimony shall also be given of the end of the old and the beginning of the new earth ....

And therefore, those of you humans of earth who will experience the end, who will remain faithful to Me until the end, will also have a task on the new earth .... to make sure that the knowledge is preserved, that the following generation will be able to keep these events in mind, that it will be inspired to remain in My will, that it will let Me come alive within its heart and always endeavour to reach Me ....

Amen

The purpose of suffering in the end time

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

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

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

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

Amen

Purification fire in the end time: suffering and misery ....

B.D. 4557 from February 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You will be tested enough and have to go through purification fires, yet it is only for the salvation of your souls, which have already become too lukewarm to do active work on their own in order to develop upwards. The weakness of the will becomes more and more evident the closer the end is, and therefore the will has to be stimulated into utmost development, which can only happen through suffering and affliction if the human being does not decide to live a life of love by himself and thereby all too much suffering can be avoided. The fire of love purifies the soul in no time, and therefore you humans are offered much opportunity to practice love for your neighbour, for hardship will require help in every way. If only you humans look around you, your will can be stimulated into serving neighbourly love. And you will truly receive the greatest blessing from it, for at the same time the suffering which is imposed on you for the purpose of maturing the soul will be reduced. Always ask for strength and reinforcement of will, ask for grace, i.e. help from above in every spiritual and earthly adversity, give everything you can spare to your suffering neighbour and don't be afraid to get into trouble yourselves as a result; always share out what you receive yourselves and thereby help alleviate hardship when the great adversity has set in, which is inevitable for you humans because you are close to the end. And you will mature yourselves and also awaken love in your fellow human beings which will now also promote their maturity of soul. You cannot be left without suffering as long as the will to love has not yet become active in you. But if you yourselves feel that hardship oppresses you, you will also have compassion for your neighbour's hardship and intervene to help if you are of good will. And therefore don't grumble and complain about suffering but know that it is an opportunity for you to mature and at the same time an incentive for loving activity and that the end time necessitates such and that all events find their explanation in the end time. Yet if you request strength from above, if you humbly carry what is imposed on you, you will also overcome the great adversity and only ever derive benefit for your soul from it .... one day you will bless the adversity which made you mature for eternity ....

Amen

Declaration of sufferings and afflictions of the last days ....

B.D. 8512 from May 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

I give you to consider that you can use every day for your perfection, which is still granted to you .... And even if you are still so far away from Me, you can bridge the wide gulf yourselves as soon as you pray to Me intimately .... Then you have voluntarily walked the path to Me, and I truly come to meet you and draw you to Me .... And even if the time is only still short when you stay on earth, as long as you possess free will, you can turn it towards Me, and from that time on you also give Me the right to take you by the hand and to lead you. Only this free will must become active from you, which you give to Me when you pray to Me as your God and creator, whom you acknowledge as powerful, and appeal to his love that it helps you. I only demand an intimate prayer to me, and truly, you are rescued for time and eternity. Because through this prayer you again acknowledge Me as your father, from whom you once went out, and through this prayer you also again seek the union with Me, and then also My power can again radiate into you, and every relapse to the deep is now impossible, because I now also assert My right towards My opponent, because you are also My share, which I no longer give away, when it has once decided for me. And you still possess the I-consciousness; you still walk over earth as man. And you only still need to make good use of the short time to complete yourselves, because you can now also be sure of My support for it, because I still wrestle until the end for every soul, that I win it for me. Only I cannot take possession of you as long as you yourselves still turn towards My opponent and he therefore also has the right over you, which I do not dispute with him. However, I cannot impress you humans very much with spiritual warnings and admonitions; earthly worries and hardships must weigh you down, then there is more of a chance that you will remember Me and take the path to Me with the request to help you .... And that is why I cannot turn away hardship and worries from you men because they are the last means to cause you to change your thinking .... For this reason suffering will also be rampant in the last days, every person will be affected by it himself or will have to experience it in his fellow human beings, for love is to be kindled in people's hearts, and every earthly adversity can be the cause for hearts to soften and willingly help their fellow human beings .... And where just one spark of love glows I will help and provide people with the strength to continue to be active in love .... And then they already establish a quiet bond with me, which they deepen according to their degree of love. Until the end opportunities will present themselves to the human being where he can help unselfishly .... whether he takes advantage of them is decided by his will, which is free .... but precisely for this will he is responsible, for his will is influenced by My side as well as by the adversary's, and he must now decide. But he can think, and mentally My light beings will assist him, but always have an effect on him without compulsion, as also My opponent cannot direct them compulsorily. But My love does not let him fall; My love pursues the soul until the death of the body, and it is touched by Me so often that it can truly decide for Me .... And as soon as it only carries out works of love, I have won it, because now it approaches Me and again and again receives power for love work. And love joins us together .... this soul can no longer get lost .... But without hardship and suffering I will no longer achieve anything on this earth, and that is to be an explanation to all of you why the end-times often seem to be unbearable .... What My love no longer brings about can only still happen through trouble and suffering that I Myself am called upon in suffering and am asked for help. And this call will be assessed by Me as recognition of Myself, and man will also be considered accordingly; I will announce Myself so obviously that man now first learns to recognize Me and he also shows love towards Me ..... And I will still accept him in the last hour .... He will remain protected from the lot of the new banishment, and even if his degree of maturity is still so low he will still be able to increase it in the kingdom on the other side because the danger of a fall into the abyss now no longer exists .... Because who once has recognized Me, he no longer gives Me up for ever ....

Amen

Blessing and power of the prayer, of the word and faith

Means of grace .... Prayer ....

B.D. 6321 from July 29th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

You humans make too little use of the blessings which flow to you. For I constantly approach you with gifts of grace, I offer them to you but you walk past them .... Why don't you call upon Me when you are in trouble .... why don't you use the prayer .... and why do you keep My Word unheeded which is conveyed to you from above through My servants on earth? .... You should believe that all adversity is merely a means I use in order to help you .... thus a grace from Me. You should believe that even the prayer is an unmerited grace, that I listen to you when you speak to Me, and that My Word is the most valuable gift of grace because it signifies the greatest help for you if you listen to what I have to say to you and to what helps you attain everlasting bliss .... Every means I use in order to help you from the abyss to the light is a gift of grace for you, because your negative attitude towards Me does not merit that My love permanently cares for you .... During the last days gifts of grace truly flow to you in abundance and no-one needs to go without, everyone can take as much as he likes, and he only needs to want to be helped in spiritual adversity and he will certainly receive help. Yet no gift of grace works without your willingness to make use of it .... Therefore I cannot change you, instead you must do this yourselves, your resolve must strive for spiritual progress and helpful steps will become visible everywhere which you can use in order to climb up. But you humans have a wrong concept of the word 'grace' .... You believe that these 'means' can already give you possession of strength and maturity of soul, you believe that formal traditions are 'means of grace' and are unaware of the actual meaning of grace ....

I love all people, even those who are still distant from Me, and I want to help all people to reach higher spheres .... This is why My care first concerns those who are entirely without contact to Me .... so that they will first of all speak to Me .... And therefore I will bring them into situations in which they should call upon Me in their adversity and suffering .... because this call will have a beneficial effect. Thus My love constantly creates new means in order to turn My apostatised living creations back to Me. And all means which are suitable to establish the bond between the human being and Me are means of grace, because they are undeserved gifts. And as soon as a person takes refuge in prayer he is asking for My grace, and then he will receive it without limit .... I will so evidently manifest Myself in his life that he will be able to gain a convinced faith, for through his prayer he has demonstrated his willingness to make use of My blessings, in which case they can also abundantly flow to him and be effective .... which always requires the person's free will .... And during the last days everyone can find the path to Me providing he wants to .... during the last days all people will be so evidently referred to their God and Creator, to a Guide and Helper .... And everyone can turn to this God and Helper of his own accord .... Every person can make contact with Me directly and derive incredible benefit from it .... yet he must be willing to do so, otherwise all gifts of grace remain ineffective and then the person will be hopelessly lost when the last day has come ....

Amen

Blessing of prayer ....

B.D. 4769 from October 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

You all don't make use of the grace of prayer often enough, you all don't speak to Me often enough, for every silent conversation with Me is a prayer which earns you inconceivable blessings for your soul. As soon as you mentally establish the connection with Me .... because every good thought attracts Me .... the supply of strength is also immediately possible, because I constantly emanate strength which permeates everything that opens itself to it. A connection with Me must always have a good effect for you humans, and therefore you cannot put yourselves into a state of receiving strength often enough, even though you feel little of it physically the soul is nevertheless immensely strengthened in order to be able to continue striving upwards. Even the will to approach Me, which is expressed in every thought turned towards Me, has an extremely beneficial effect, because I seize this will immediately and this therefore means a plus for the soul. The will turned towards Me will not rest until the connection with Me has been established, until the human being quietly communes with Me, until a prayer rises up to Me which not only deals with earthly concerns but also appeals for grace and strength, for the soul's salvation. And I will always listen to My child because I want to make it happy spiritually and earthly. If you knew the blessing of a silent, humble prayer to Me you would make much more use of the blessings of prayer, you would often let Me be present to you through heartfelt remembrance, for this is an elevation into spiritual spheres, this is a dwelling in the kingdom of light, which you don't feel physically but one day you will become aware of when you have left the physical shell. Your soul is already there where it will one day dwell .... it leaves the earth behind for the time of prayer, the soul reveals itself before Me and lets Me clothe it with a garment of light which, although it is extremely transparent, is nevertheless a cover for the soul which is beneficial to it. The soul reshapes itself, so to speak, and the more often this process takes place, the more radiant the cover of light becomes, the greater the desire for Me. The soul no longer feels endlessly distant, it comes towards Me in a familiar way, it wants to hear and feel Me, it wants to receive light and strength .... It now, earthly speaking, holds silent communion with Me, it prays in spirit and in truth .... and, spiritually speaking, is in spheres of light, close to Me, only open to the emanation of Myself. Heartfelt prayer must bring the soul to maturity, for a person who intimately turns to Me also seeks to fulfil everything I ask of him .... Therefore often detach yourselves from this earth, let your thoughts wander upwards, seek Me in your thoughts, come to Me trustingly and faithfully .... Therefore, in prayer, quietly and devoutly listen to Me, listen to what I say back to you, and soon you will also learn to understand Me, you will hear My voice within you, you will then make use of the grace of prayer because you will directly connect with Me and every connection with Me will help you attain maturity of soul ....

Amen

The strength of prayer ....

B.D. 8607 from September 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You should test the strength of prayer far more often in order to recognise your Father's love increasingly more, for I will always give you what you ask of Me in firm faith, and when you find out that I hear you and that My love gives to you according to your faith, you will feel ever more closely connected to Me. You should always know that prayer is the bridge to reach Me, for in prayer you establish the bond with Me and My strength of love can take effect in you. By praying to Me you acknowledge Me as your God and Creator Who can grant your prayer because He has the power to do so and, as Father, also wants to grant your prayer because He loves you. However, it must be a prayer in spirit and in truth, for your lips can also voice words in the form of a prayer which cannot reach My ear because they do not arise to Me from the bottom of your heart. So many thoughts move you every day, you have so many wishes, some greater and some smaller ones, and you would only ever have to present them to Me, and truly, I would take care of even the smallest matter if you appeal to Me for it, then you would become progressively more aware of My presence and your life on earth would be much easier. Time and again I want to be in your thoughts, everything you do you should have something to do with Me and you should be in constant contact with Me through prayer .... Never cease praying .... This does not refer to the constant formal prayers which will only ever be voiced by your mouth but never come forth from your heart .... Yet you should seek My advice in everything you think and do, then you will lead a way of life according to My will, always being guided by Me and motivated into every action, which will then also be right. As Father I want your absolute trust in My love and power .... My love will never deny itself, yet you must desire it yourselves, which a true prayer in humility testifies to. And even if you start every undertaking with just a thought of Me, or a request you present to Me, I always want to prove My presence to you by getting involved with everything, for this heartfelt bond results in an abundance of strength and is also the successful test of will, because you are continuously urged towards Me, thus you seek unification with Me which you once broke off. You can achieve much with your prayer, for yourselves as well as for all those on whose behalf you intercede. Your prayer is a source of strength for yourselves and for your fellow human beings which will never run dry, for you shall pray 'incessantly' .... Hence, there are no limitations for you, and since every contact with Me assures you an influx of strength, you need not fear a cessation of strength .... for you will join Me ever more closely until you can no longer imagine a life without Me. I want to be your beginning and your end, no day shall pass by when you will not come to Me in prayer and appeal for My blessing .... And truly, your earthly progress will lead you to the goal, to complete union with Me. Use the strength of prayer, enter the bridge to Me as often as possible for you, never keep Me out of your thoughts, present all your requests to Me, regardless of how small, for I want to prove to you that I know all your thoughts, problems and wishes by always intervening and guiding you out of all adversity, by being your constant companion, for even the slightest thought will draw Me to you and My love will flow to you, which will always help you to progress. And anyone who is in constant contact with Me will not be scared by what is happening in the world either, he is staying in My sphere, for although he still lives in the midst of the world, his soul has completely detached itself from the world, because it is always looking for Me, because My presence means more to it than all the possessions in the world ....

Amen

Asking for grace and strength for the coming time

Only prayer protects from the adversary's activity ....

B.D. 8955 from March 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The closer it gets to the end the more violent becomes My adversary's activity, and you all will feel it, for no day will pass by without causing you unrest or tasting his treachery in other ways. And nothing else helps but your prayer .... your connection with the One Who is his Lord too, Who defeated him through His death on the cross. A heartfelt prayer will re-establish the inner peace which he wants to deprive you of. For his power will be defeated when you turn to Me, no matter how much he strives to agitate you. The battles against him become increasingly fiercer for he will not let up pushing you, and time and again I have to tell you that only prayer will protect you from his activity. For then you demonstrate that you are looking for Me and want to be released from him, and then I can use My power against him, I can prevent him from continuing his harassments since then your own will gives Me the right to deal with him.

But in the last days his rage will become ever stronger, and yet he will not succeed with My Own, with those who desire Me with all their heart and call upon Me for My protection. And whom else would I rather protect than My Own, who always want to be in contact with Me and have offered their services to Me? You should just believe that I also have power over him, that you have not been defencelessly left at his mercy and that you will have the strength to repel his every intrusion. And you should draw this strength from My Word, you should always engross yourselves in this Word and then you will be surrounded by light which he, however, avoids and so you will be released from him.

And don't allow yourselves to be held captive by the world, for then he can enter secretly and entice you with its goods .... Then he will also have a certain amount of power over you which you won't recognise since he is able to deceive you. However, in that case I cannot help you, for you hand yourselves over to him and forget about Me, and then you will have to struggle for your inner bond with Me, only then will you realise what it means to have detached yourselves from Me, for once he owns something he holds on to it. But I won't let anyone fall who seriously desires Me, he will just have to struggle considerably in order to get back to the same level he had previously been on ....

Make sure that the adversary will not gain power over you and call on Me in your ordeal, for I Am always willing to help you if your call comes from your heart. Just don't let the world get the better of you, for then you will be served by the one who is lord over this world, and all I can do is wait until you find the way back to Me ....

Amen

Prayer for strength and grace ....

B.D. 5805 from November 14th 1953, taken from Book No. 63

Do not miss, to ask for grace and strength, because such a prayer proves your will for spiritual perfection .... It is the admission of your weakness and imperfection, because you ask for that, what you lack, but what is available to you unrestricted. But I can not supply you the force of grace against your will, to make you not unfree and thus to prevent any completion. As well as you are conscious of that, that you do not reach the height without My help, as well as you recognize Me so as your Lord and God, Whom all is possible, and now you remember your child’s relationship to Me, for that, that you ask Me, as Father, for help, now the presuppositions are given too, which assure you graces in excess .... And then you climb to height irrefutably. You are not able to do anything on your own, and you are powerless through your own fault, because of your past apostasy from Me .... But My love for you is so deep, that I pass over your guilt, that I want to turn gifts of grace to you without your contribution, which however necessitate acceptance of willing hearts .... And you show your acceptance by your prayers for grace and strength, and now you can receive unmeasured. Well I send you gifts of grace without your prayer too, but they can only become effective to you, if you open yourselves, if you do not turn away from Me, so I come towards to you, in which kind it may be. Because your whole life on earth is a chain of proofs of My love, of events, guidances and hints to Me, which all would have to be regarded as graces and which then have an effect on you successfully, if you let yourselves impress by them, if you recognize My hand therein, which is spread over each of you and wants to capture you, so you only turn your eyes to Me and so seize My hand, too, that pulls you to the height. And you do this surely, if ever you only long for My grace, because then I can endow you and will endow you, so that you reach your aim infallibly. Therefore do not miss, to recommend you to Me and My grace, everything you begin, that it is to bless you .... Let Me be your beginning and your end, your constant adviser and companion, let Me be your God and Father, Who is powerful and wise and full of love to you and therefore always will give you, what you ask for with humility ....

Amen

Remedy for powerlessness .... prayer - request ....

B.D. 7741 from November 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Love gives you strength .... and if you are therefore without strength then you also know that you lack love, that you still have to work on your soul, that you still have to transform your nature into love and that you will then no longer feel powerless. And because you yourselves are therefore not yet full of love you have to pray .... you must come to Me and ask Me to help you, to fill you with strength .... that I ignite love in you and thus want to impart strength to you .... And your prayer will be heard.... Everything you don't possess yourselves you can receive from Me. And thus I can also kindle love in you into bright embers if this is your will and if you present your lack of love to Me and appeal to Me for help .... Then I can truly let My strength overflow into you, and this will always result in an increased urge for loving activity in you. I grant you every spiritual request, and this is a spiritual request if you feel too lacking in love yourselves and request My strength of love. And I will gladly comply with such a request. Therefore you can never say that you are incapable of love, for I Myself make up for every deficiency in you as soon as you are willing to live in love. And therefore the bond with Me is absolutely necessary if you want to mature your souls. For without such a bond My strength cannot flow into you, and thus you lack it. But you can practice love at any time because My spark of love rests within you, because the bond with Me can therefore always be established and the strength to work with love is then also within you. You don't know what great strength love is, yet since I am both strength and love you will also always possess strength and love if you unite with Me, for then you yourselves will long for what you once voluntarily gave away .... you long for your original nature again and open yourselves to My illumination of love .... Thus you will no longer be weak and master everything in earthly life, no matter what demands are made of you. You need never fear weakness and lack of strength because this will be remedied immediately if you devote yourselves to Me, if you want to receive strength from Me. Then you will inwardly urge yourselves to be active with love, and nothing will hold you back from loving activity, for the bond with Me already makes you happy, and then you will always be willing to fulfil My will .... you strive towards Me ever more eagerly, you will also increasingly recognize My will in an awakened spirit, and your whole being will be filled with love and have a beneficial effect on your surroundings .... You will contribute towards the redemption of the still unfree spiritual, because love impels you, which is My direct expression in you. Therefore don't be fearful when you feel powerless but then only ever remember your father Who does not want to leave His children in their weakness but truly gives to you abundantly if only you ask Him for it. And every request also presupposes the bond with Me, but every bond enables the influx of strength of love .... This is why a loving person will also always remember Me, or also: A person who remains united with Me will also always work in love and never feel weak. For I am also present to anyone who is united with Me, and My presence eliminates all weakness. And if you sometimes feel weak then you know that I desire your heartfelt bond, for I can only bestow gifts upon you if you turn to the father like children for help ...._>Amen

Only connection to God gives strength in the coming time ....

B.D. 6164 from January 14th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Ever more closely you will have to cleave to Me, for ever more mightily My might and My will will express itself the closer it is to the end .... The whole world will be thrown into turmoil, albeit everywhere by other events .... and it could be that everything that happens makes people take refuge with Me, they could seek comfort and help from Me and through the bond with Me bear everything more easily or reduce all effects .... Yet not everyone seeks the bond with Me, for there is a lack of faith in the power which alone can help and in the love which wants to help .... But I am the protection and shield in all adversity for anyone who intimately joins Me .... and his fate is in My hand .... Whoever closes himself to Me no longer needs to worry from that moment on, for I will take over all his worries .... And many will be pushed towards Me because they get into severe distress, partly due to human-satanic influence, but partly also due to accidents, due to disasters of all kinds, due to fate-related experiences which cause people to become anxious and find their way to Me .... Yet far more people remain unimpressed by all happenings and hardship which I only allow to come upon them in order to change people's attitude. They are only eager to make up for the damage caused as quickly as possible without observing My commandment of love .... At their fellow human beings' expense they rebuild everything My will took from them, for they don't believe in Me and My might and self-love fills their whole being. They will never want to recognize the hand of a God in every experience, rather, they will deny Me, they will not acknowledge a creative God because the all too visible destruction of creations seems to be proof of this to them. They erect a great gulf .... The distance from them to Me is infinitely far, they are still in My adversary's realm who confuses all their senses and thoughts and does not let them come to recognize the truth. Only those who unite with Me in their heart also recognize My eternal plan of salvation, and everything that comes over people in the last days is understandable to them. They stick to Me and will truly not be abandoned by Me, I will hear every call that comes from an anxious heart and I will distribute strength so that My own will not feel too heavy what has to come upon earth for the sake of their fellow human beings .... And it will become evident in them what a deep faith is capable of and what it achieves .... Again and again they will find a way out, again and again they will have the strength to master everything .... For I will not leave them as soon as they intimately unite with Me .... And they will feel My presence and confess Me before their fellow human beings when this confession is demanded of them ....

Amen

Will to God .... power in the last fight .... power from God ....

B.D. 5665 from May 2nd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You need not fear the end if only you have the will to remain faithful to Me, if your thoughts and endeavours are directed towards attaining spiritual maturity, if only you want to be willing to comply with Me .... Then everything will approach you such that you will always think, speak and act as is right. Then your heart will not be seized by fear but you will have strength of will so that you will face everything that comes upon you with your head held high. I know the will of the individual, and according to this will I provide him with strength and grace. As long as you strive for Me and My kingdom you need not fear the world or its rulers, who are also under My will. The coming time will certainly make demands on you but you yourselves will grow with these demands, you will master things which previously seemed overwhelming to you, and everything will take care of itself as long as only your thoughts remain turned towards Me, as long as they don't allow themselves to be captured by the world, which will also approach you with its temptations the closer it gets to the end. Yet this is the greatest danger for you, that you turn your eyes and senses towards the world .... But he who has overcome the world need not fear the coming time, the battle of faith and the end, for he has already won .... Me and My kingdom .... and he can no longer lose anything. Anyone who earnestly seeks Me will also find Me, anyone who has found Me will no longer want to give Me up, and I will also keep him firm and strengthen him against all temptations which approach every person as long as he still lives on earth. And so that you don't slacken in your desire for Me, so that you don't become weak in the afflictions caused by earthly power, I will also force Myself ever more into your thoughts and truly have stronger power over you than My adversary .... For as long as your will is meant for Me it has no power over you. And therefore fear nothing, whatever may come; I know about everything and guide you such that you unite with Me ever more intimately, that you find your bliss in the hours of silent dialogue with Me, that you use every opportunity to take refuge in My arms, that you always draw comfort and strength when you let Me speak to you .... I repeatedly come to you in the word and thus directly impart the strength to you which will make you strong and resilient so that you need not fear the coming time .... For My own possess My love and are never forsaken by Me .... And My own include all who love Me and keep My commandments, who work for Me and My kingdom .... who are willingly devoted to Me and want to remain faithful to Me until the end ....

Amen

God’s word – power in the end time

Gathering strength ahead of the chaos ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

God's Word provides comfort and strength in greatest need ....

B.D. 3448 from February 25th 1945, taken from Book No. 44

During fearful hours, when you believe to be cut off from the world and are only able to communicate with God in prayer, you will discover the strength and grace emanating from the Word which God's love sends to earth .... Then He will speak to you in His love and give you strength, He will care and provide for you and His Word will be ample food and drink until you receive help. No human being can give you the comfort which flows from His Word because you feel that He Himself is close to you in His Word and faithfully entrust yourselves to Him. And when you hear His Word your fear will leave you, His love will speak to you, His Fatherly hand will take hold of you and never let you fall again .... His Word is mild and kind, it gives you hope and you know it is truth, and thus all dread and worry comes to an end because you now have complete faith in Him.

The greater your earthly need the closer God is to you, if only you call upon Him ....He will not leave you and conveys this in His Word which you, if you wish, may always hear directly or through mediators. Indeed, God will gladly fulfil this desire, He will not leave you without spiritual nourishment, He will not seal the well of living water .... He will protect it from destruction, He will not allow human will to obscure it, He will not allow the well to run dry which His great merciful love had opened for you who are hungry and thirsty, who suffer distress of body and soul and long for refreshment. And thus God Himself descends to earth in His Word to His Own when people prevent all access to you .... then He will be with you and you may receive precious gifts from His Fatherly hand, you will be strengthened in body and soul, and when you have abandoned all earthly hope and only give yourselves to God, He will take your fate into His hands Himself and deliver you from all danger .... because His love embraces you and all those who seek refuge with Him in prayer ....

Power of the divine word .... fight against Christ ....

B.D. 1852 from March 18th 1941, taken from Book No. 28

The power of the divine word will penetrate when the battle against Christ is waged with all means. People are still allowed a certain freedom of thought, but the world will want to subjugate this too by preventing any spiritual direction that affirms Jesus Christ as the saviour of the world, i.e. by deliberately withholding all knowledge about it from people. And this leads to an obvious battle that can only be fought with the sword of the mouth. Anyone who courageously and unhesitatingly pronounces the name of Jesus and stands up for Him, even if he is in danger of losing his life, will be full of the spirit. And then it will be shown that the divine word truly has great power. It will be received with true hunger where it is proclaimed to people .... those who hear it will feel the power in themselves and it will truly do them good, for a person is in want unless God Himself takes care of him and sends him feasting and refreshment. The pure word of God, reproduced by people who have received it directly from Him, will resound so convincingly and effectively to those who carry Jesus Christ in their hearts and yet are not able to separate themselves completely from the world. They will come to clarity of thought when the divine word is preached to them, for God has endowed this word with His strength so that anyone who willingly hears it and accepts it into his heart will be permeated by this strength and will only take sides with this word in the future. And then it will become apparent that nothing of it can be refuted, that everything that will be conveyed to humanity through the bearers of this word can be accepted unconditionally. The followers of Christ cannot emerge victorious from this battle without the word of God, and indeed the spiritual superiority will be there where the pure truth, the light from the heavens, is taught. Nothing will be able to refute the bearers of this divine truth, they will uncover every ambiguity, illuminate every error and denounce every untruth, and even if they are persecuted by the representatives of God's opposing power, they will find each other and work together, and no power on earth will be able to withstand them, for God Himself is with the fighters, and the victory will truly be where the truth .... the gift of God .... is recognized, preserved as the most sacred good and publicly represented before the world ....

Amen

Supplying the power of God in the battle of faith ....

B.D. 2758 from May 29th 1943, taken from Book No. 34/35/36

The flow of strength which God channels to earth in the form of His word has an extraordinary effect insofar as that it trains courageous and convinced fighters who will stand up for God and His teachings before the whole world in the coming battle of faith. For in order to be able to fulfil this task, to fight for Jesus Christ as the redeemer of the world, the believers must be trained in a very special way, which is only possible through the transmission of the divine word. The spiritual exchange from earth to the beyond introduces man to a knowledge that enables him to withstand every faith-destroying onslaught of the world. For man must first become knowledgeable before he can successfully fight the battle for faith. The fact that people of the present time lack all knowledge is also the reason for their lack of faith and their disinclined, God-opposing way of life, and only if people make an effort to penetrate knowledge again, if they listen to the word offered to them and live accordingly, will the coming battle of faith bring them great blessings. But the world will take rigorous action against all those who stand up for faith in Jesus Christ as the saviour of the world. And this is the time of decision for all people which God allows to precede the last judgement, which is so significant that everyone should strengthen himself by receiving His word in order not to waver when the decision is demanded of him. The pure word of God is blessed with His strength, consequently, the human being is given extraordinary strength if he needs it .... He will be able to speak without fear and undaunted and reproach his opponents with the truth, through his convinced speech he will also win some of them for the kingdom of God, i.e., his speeches will sound convincing and take root in the hearts of those who are not yet completely blinded, and these will change and join the camp of God's fighters. God knows about the weakness of will of individual people, and where He can still win a soul for Himself He will also direct the flow of strength of His word there in order to bring him help, since he cannot make up his own mind. And that is why those people are first taught by God who consciously place themselves at His disposal and thereby make themselves capable of the teaching activity for which God Himself trains them. They must be instructed in such a way that everything is understandable to them, that they need not fear any counter-objections which they could not refute. They themselves must grow in their faith in the love, omnipotence and wisdom of God through continuous instruction in order to then also be able to speak convincingly in favour of it when God is to be completely denied. The battle which the world will wage against those who are faithful to God will be weakened in its effect for those people who are well instructed in the truth, for they will constantly receive the strength from God which will allow them to endure and overcome whatever is undertaken against them. And they receive the strength with His word, which He transmits to earth now and forever, so that people who open themselves to His word will grow in faith in Him. For His love will not leave without strength and help those who want to fight for Him ....

Amen

God’s word power in the end time and distress ....

B.D. 6051 from September 13th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

What you receive from Me will become indispensable to you in the time to come when you will need strength and comfort because you are in danger of becoming despondent. You are still granted peaceful days, you can still use the time for yourselves, you can still pursue your spiritual endeavours without being hindered .... but the time is coming, and it is no longer far away, when restrictions will be imposed on you, when you will no longer be able to do whatever you want. The time will come when the battle will be declared against spiritual striving and people will allow themselves to be intimidated because they will have to make earthly sacrifices if they don't deny Me. And then only those people will stand firm and remain faithful to Me who receive strength from Me Myself through the transmission of My word .... They will hear Me Myself speak and therefore be without fear. And I point out this time to you and therefore recommend that you gather strength beforehand so that the coming will not frighten you. What I give you shall make you strong for the battle with My adversary, which will irrevocably come, as I have proclaimed through My word .... You are standing before this time, even if you do not feel anything of it now. I prepare you for this time by addressing you in order to revive a strong faith in you .... therefore I give you humans unusual consideration because you need an unusual supply of strength and because you should be made aware of it beforehand in order to diligently carry out the work on your souls so that the last battle will find you armed, so that you can emerge from it as victors. I take care of My own in a very special way .... I am present to them wherever their faith and love allows it, and I testify to My presence through My word .... And they will truly receive strength in abundance if they repeatedly take refuge in My word in times of need; all anxiety and discouragement will leave them, for if they hear Me Myself they will feel safe and protected by the one Who is powerful and full of love, and they will no longer fear people nor the one who wants to destroy them .... They trust in their father from eternity .... they wait for Him Who will come in the clouds, Who will deliver them from all distress ....

Amen

Power of the living faith in the end time

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

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

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

Amen

The power of faith is grace, but it only becomes effective through the will ....

B.D. 4966 from September 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The grace of the almighty God is unusually noticeable in the last days when earthly hardship takes hold of people which seems almost unbearable, and anyone who only turns to Him in his heart will be seized by His love and filled with His grace. The righteous person who professes God will increase in knowledge, and this knowledge alone is a grace, for it helps the person to gain strength of faith and, as a result, the power of resistance. The person who makes use of God's grace will no longer feel weak, he will live consciously in the hope of soon being rescued from adversity. Strength of faith is a grace, for the human being himself will no longer work on himself in this great adversity of the end time such that he will attain increased faith on his own; yet God sees the will turned towards Him and also helps where the human being is weak, He puts a faith into his heart which is unshakeable and which allows him to endure the last time on earth. He puts faith into his heart .... but this does not mean that God allows people to believe indiscriminately through His grace. The power of faith is indeed a grace, but it only becomes effective on the one who wants to believe and asks God for help in his weakness. Truly, every person could experience God's grace and mercy, but it requires a will turned towards Him, and this is recognizable to God at every hour. It will be a time of adversity which is not yet imaginable to you humans on earth, and good people will fear their fellow human beings who have become true devils. In this anxiety and fear they will become weak and call to God in supplication. Then they will obviously feel His grace, a confidence and peace will fill them and every weakness will be over .... They feel His presence and trustingly place themselves in the hands of God. Only the call in spirit and in truth is enough to be able to experience God's grant of grace in the last days, and from that moment on people will walk their path more easily because they feel that they no longer walk it alone .... Wanting to recognize God and striving towards Him also makes the human being a beneficiary of divine grace, then he can no longer be weak, then he will look at everything with the eyes of the knower and that calm will enter his heart which can be described as peace in God, for he is now constantly united with God in spirit, he constantly feels the father next to him, he constantly senses His strength and might, and he knows that the end is approaching, that every day can bring him salvation from earthly adversity, that he will be saved through a miracle .... He knows that the coming of the lord in the clouds signifies the end of his earthly adversity and he awaits it with a believing heart, for his faith now has the strength which enables him to persevere and remain faithful to God until the end ....

Amen

Suffering and tribulation after .... power of faith ....

B.D. 2341 from May 20th 1942, taken from Book No. 32

The effects of people's low spiritual level will be recognizable during this intervention by God .... Everyone will only think of himself and only a few will also think of their fellow human beings in their own suffering and want to help them. And yet help will again be demanded by those who consider themselves powerful, and they will use their power and take measures that will increase the suffering even more, for the weak will not be able to defend themselves and will have to oblige the strong and alleviate their hardship, while they will remain without help even in the greatest tribulation. And this again proves the great lack of love, which was the cause of divine intervention and will not be remedied by it either. But the time will only be bearable for those people who faithfully and trustingly abandon themselves to God, who call upon Him in prayer and ask for His help and grace. They will receive God's support, and no matter how burdensome the external adversity may seem to them, they will not succumb but feel God's protective hand over them. And the power of faith will become obvious, for the believer will have the strength to master the difficult earthly life and need not fear earthly power, whereas people without faith almost threaten to break under the measures of those who try to improve their own fate with the help of those people who are unable to resist them and almost perish as a result. Yet it will become obvious to the world that earthly power is ineffective, for God will let His voice be heard precisely there where He Himself is not respected enough .... where honour and fame alone are desired and faith is only tolerated in appearance. And all believers will be afflicted, and this signifies the beginning of a new era. And in order to make it easy for people on earth to believe, He announces beforehand what is in store for the world so that they will confess Him when everything comes to pass as it has been proclaimed ....

Amen

Struggle of faith .... power to confess ....

B.D. 5660 from April 26th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

If you humans knew about the suffering of the coming time, about the battle which will be waged against those who believe in Me, you would then also understand why I first convey My word to earth, why I Myself descend to earth .... You would realize that you first have to strengthen your faith in order to take everything upon yourselves so as not to fail in this battle of faith. Pure truth gives you strength because you receive pure truth from Me, because you draw it from My word which is blessed with My strength. Unbelieving people will be little affected by My word conveyed to earth as well as by this battle, because it does not apply to them but is still promoted by them. The believers, however, will have to suffer greatly, for not only will they be deprived of what they need as nourishment for their soul but they will be forced by brutal measures to deny their faith. And it will be difficult to stand firm and quite impossible where living faith is missing .... For only this will give them strength, only living faith signifies intimate contact with Me and thereby immediate strength. But living faith shall be awakened through My word .... I therefore appeal to you humans that you, if My words touch you inwardly, establish contact with Me, Who can then always convey to you what you need .... Strength and light in order to be able to offer resistance if action is taken against you. I know about the lukewarmness of people who also think they are believers but will fall down at the slightest impulse because their faith is not a living one. And I want to come to the aid of all these .... I know what tribulation they are exposed to and yet I have to allow it in order to awaken them to life, for what they previously only fulfilled as a form shall now stimulate them to think and cause them to take a stand. Anyone who easily gives up his faith in Me was already like a dead leaf which falls off and is chased away by the slightest breeze .... he need not suffer in the battle waged for the sake of faith, but he will have to suffer all the more after the end, which will not be long in coming .... But anyone who already has a small degree of realization will suddenly know what this last battle means, and he will attach the greatest value to My words which announced what is now coming to pass. I have known about the coming time since eternity, and you humans can recognize My concern for you by the transmission of My word, which is intended to make you strong and resilient when the decision also approaches you .... Suffering for the sake of faith is difficult as long as your innermost conviction, your living faith, does not give you strength; then, however, even the strongest earthly force is unable to shake it. Then the human being will gladly and joyfully confess My name before the world, for then he will draw all strength to resist from My word, he will accept the strength from Me Myself, and he will truly remain victorious in the last battle on this earth ....

Amen

Strength of faith .... Antichrist .... Counteraction ....

B.D. 5719 from July 9th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Intensive counteractions will have to be carried out when the Antichrist starts his last work of curtailing all spiritual aspirations, when he visibly works against God by trying to eradicate every Christian belief and thus his anti-Christian attitude becomes clearly evident. Then all forces of heaven and earth will have to be mobilised, for this will be the start of the most difficult battle the Christian community has ever experienced .... Then the last battle of faith will commence, which is the beginning of the end and which will be waged with ruthlessness and brutality, because Satan himself will rise against God in order to bring Him down and elevate himself to His throne. But then all servants of God on earth will also be greatly supported by the world of light, for then diligent work has to be done in order to refute the enemy's offensives, in order to proclaim Jesus Christ and to confess Him before the world .... Then the secrecy will be over and it will be revealed who believes in and loves God, who is strong enough to acknowledge Jesus Christ as his only Lord and does not fear the orders of the opposing power .... Then every proclaimer of the divine teaching of love will be blessed twice over, for then his work will be urgently required .... he will proclaim God with conviction, Who is supposed to be renounced, he will fight on His behalf and not fear those who threaten him with death .... Such work can only be carried out by someone who has gained realisation, who knows about everything including the signs of the end and who therefore cannot help but speak up on behalf of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, because he has been seized by His love and grace and feels His activity and because this provides him with the strength to achieve anything, including openly confessing his faith, which will result in a most bitter earthly fate. He disregards the difficulties because he has become knowledgeable and no longer fears anything in this world .... because he has recognised the right Lord and also gladly gives up his life for him.

The counterwork demanded of God's fighters is to offer clarification where doubts exist, to persuade the souls to hand themselves over to Jesus Christ, Who is every soul's Redeemer and Saviour and Who will also deliver them from the earthly adversity and distress when the end has come .... Their work consists of spreading the recognised truth and of courageously confronting slanderers and blasphemers, representatives of misguided teachings and all those who are hostile-minded towards Christ's teaching .... Their task consists of spreading light because people are enshrouded by the darkest spiritual night. And even then there will still be people who are undecided which way to turn, and to present the true nature of God to them is likewise part of the work for the kingdom of God, for the pure truth can and will not fail to have an effect on a truth-desiring heart, and this applies to the few who are undecided, who will have to be treated particularly kindly in order to come over into your camp and to become your friends instead of your enemies .... The weapons used by the Antichrist in the last battle of faith will be devoid of all love, however, you, too, shall eagerly fight, but with the weapon of love .... you should try to impart to them that which you possess yourselves, which you received from God .... His Word, which will affect everyone according to His will. Anyone who truly desires light will become enlightened, and anyone who possesses light will also know how to conduct himself in the days when God's adversary rages and tries to seize all souls for himself. The battle will indeed be very unfair, for you will only be a small flock but your enemies will be large crowds .... Yet you will truly have more strength, for you receive it from God directly, and this strength can defeat your worst enemies. With your strong faith you will also be able to give evidence of Me and My might to the enemy .... and can thereby ruin the finely laid plans of God's adversary, for the strength of faith obviously testifies to God, the strength of faith can still defeat your enemies before the end so that they voluntarily let themselves be taken prisoners by you. They can come over into your camp and be saved forever ....

Amen

Strength of faith .... Healing the sick .... Miracles ....

B.D. 5843 from January 2nd 1954, taken from Book No. 63

You will be able to work with inconceivable strength if you call upon Me for help with profound faith. You must be motivated by love to request this strength of Mine, your faith must be so strong that you will not hesitate for a second when you think of helping a person in need. Then you shall work in My name and you will be impelled by My spirit to do so .... Therefore, do not believe that you take the right to do something that does not correspond to My will, but do without qualms whatever you feel impelled to do and you will succeed. For I have guaranteed you My strength if you are of strong faith. And it is My will that your fellow human beings shall be persuaded of the strength of faith in the last days before the end, hence I will not let you be harmed if you want to serve Me and at the same time your fellow human beings. But I will never give My blessings for actions of self-interest, destruction or heartlessness .... Understand that love has to be the driving force and motivate you to request My strength, never hatred or an urge for revenge, for only love moves My spirit into action. And only through love can you unite with Me so that you then can also partake of My strength. And this love lets your faith come so alive that you no longer doubt the success of what you want to achieve. This also explains the many healings of the sick which are accomplished in My name.

Then I Myself Am called upon for help, My promise is being appealed to 'Ask, and it shall be given to you; knock, and it shall be opened to you .... ' and with complete faith in the truth of My Word anyone who is lovingly taken care of by the healer will be healed, for the latter will have handed himself over to Me and I will truly be with him in My strength .... he can cure him because he can make unlimited use of My strength. Profoundly faithful people can therefore work on earth for the benefit of their fellow human beings, for they are permitted to do so as soon as they associate it with a living testimony of My name, as soon as My name is thereby glorified .... as soon as it happens in order to help people who strive towards Me gain a firm and indisputable faith .... and not in order to force disbelievers into believing .... Complete unbelief is an obstacle for the working of My spirit .... And the confessor of My name will either be restrained by My spirit from working miracles while watched by a non-believer or the latter will substantiate any healing with natural explanations .... Yet in the last days the weak shall still be won over by overcoming their resistance through the strength of faith of My Own .... And therefore many a miracle will be accomplished in My name in the last days, so that those of weak faith shall be strengthened in order to then be able to believe with conviction and to stand firm in the last battle on this earth ....

Amen

Ask God for help in times of need

Power of the spirit in the end time ....

B.D. 5935 from April 19th 1954, taken from Book No. 64

All of you who believe shall experience the strength of the spirit, for the end is approaching. You will still need much strength during this time and therefore I will obviously grant you My help because you believe and so that your fellow human beings' faith will also be strengthened, so that they will offer resistance to My adversary's onslaught. All of you who live in the last days will have to endure much adversity and hardship because the battle between light and darkness is fierce and will have a tangible effect on you humans. For hell with its powers devises everything possible to make My followers fall away from Me .... it devises everything possible to incite people against each other and to disregard the commandments of love, and it requires much strength and faith to remain faithful to Me in these last days and only ever look upwards from where help will come, as I have promised. And during this time you will all visibly experience My presence, My spirit's travail will touch you, and you will join Me more and more and finally only live your life in closest union with Me and yet also stand in the blessing of this union .... You will be able to work in My name through My spirit, and this means that you need not fear the time ahead of you because you will be able to face everything difficult with the strength of your faith and thus nothing need be impossible for you, nothing need be insurmountable for you. My spirit will work in and through you .... Where a believing circle meets I will also manifestly appear, in that a person filled by My spirit will hear My instructions within himself and will also feel My strength within himself which will then let him carry out what My spirit announces to him. And you will urgently need such strengthening and comforting, for you will be despondent in view of the events and unable to find help elsewhere, for you, My believers, will be ostracized for the sake of your faith. And yet, this time must come so that what is written will come true, that all who believe in Me will be in distress .... But I will help you, and as soon as you have firm, unshakeable faith this time will also pass you by like a difficult dream, because you will be able to banish the adversity yourselves by virtue of your faith. Therefore only seek to attain profound faith .... live in love so that your faith will be strengthened and let yourselves be filled with My spirit .... for it is powerful and if it works in you, you will live and never lose your life again ....

Amen

Call upon God's help is indispensable in the last days ....

B.D. 3703 from March 3rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Henceforth you shall always have to request My help in earthly as well as in spiritual hardship if you don’t want to succumb in your struggle for existence. Admittedly, you can also emerge victoriously without appealing for My help, but in that case you are already under the influence of My adversary who is giving you strength to overcome but claims your souls in exchange for payment. To be fortified by this strength in future will cause you immense damage since you will lose yourselves in the kingdom of darkness for an eternity, you will trade this short time of strength with an eternity of weakness during which you will have to suffer enormously due to your failure not to have asked for My help. The approaching time is only endurable with My support, with My contribution of strength and thus without danger for your souls. And yet it is up to you whether you want to call upon Me. The severe hardship should prompt you but I Myself won’t compel you to do so, by way of hardship I only want to encourage you to contact Me, since otherwise I cannot transmit strength to you. Life will be difficult and painful for each and everyone who does not carry Me in his heart ....

But you will find relief when you turn to Me for help. My love shall help you endure, it helps every person who faithfully trusts in Me, because the severe hardship has to affect humanity for its own sake, as the last resort to win them over to Me and My kingdom. I want to make their hearts receptive to My Word, and thus the severe hardship will still accomplish My aim, namely that they hunger for a Word of comfort, for an explanation of their adversity, and that they then seriously consider My Word in their hearts and with good will can recognise Me. For there are many misguided souls who have missed the right path, who shall be led back by My Word, which reveals to them the truth in its fullness. Although the suffering will also close many hearts to My Word and they cannot be opened by force, but blessed be the one who endures without approaching My adversary for help in terms of unkindness towards other people and bad thoughts and speech, because he will be apparently helped by him and provided with all manner of support to win him over completely. Don’t try to improve your earthly life with renewed unkindness, accept your fate patiently and humbly, and come to Me .... I shall always help you if only you request My help, if only you find the way to Me and humbly bow before Me and entrust yourselves to My mercy.

I will never send a sincerely pleading person away without help, you all have to acquire this trust if the severe hardship is to be endurable for you. You can always be certain of My loving care when you deliver yourselves to Me, when you acknowledge Me and thus do not exclude Me from your thoughts .... But anyone who fails to do so is in dire psychological difficulty which only his own will can lessen. Time is short and shall become ever more apparent as the end time because Satan works visibly, he impels human beings into actions of most blatant cruelty, which always results in earthly hardship and suffering, and he poisons people’s thoughts where he does not meet resistance with a will that is turned towards Me. And human beings should beware because now the last test of earthly life needs to be won; they should open their eyes to the signs of the time, to the conduct of human beings who are clearly ruled from below, and also observe the work from above .... they should listen to My Word’s messengers who can give comprehensive clarification about meaning and purpose of the final severe hardship and about the eternal plan of Salvation, which has to take its course as it is destined and My wisdom has deemed appropriate since eternity .... They should pay heed to their warnings and reminders, and the arduous time will pass by everyone endurably who is of good will and calls upon Me in need ....

Amen

Prayer .... Call upon Me in time of need ....

B.D. 0627 from October 18th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

Trusting in the Father's help will make everything in life easy for you to bear, for all suffering is sent to you by the Lord and Savior, so that you may find your way to Him .... If, however, you go out of the suffering only hardened and embittered, then you deprive yourselves of all help from above. You may take refuge in prayer at any time and thus have the greatest confidence that you will be heard, because whatever you are destined to do .... there is nothing so bad that the heavenly Father could not turn it into a blessing. Every child has the right to turn to the Father in supplication. Those who turn to the heavenly Father in humility, will never make a wrong request ....

But you all use the power of prayer too little .... You must first find yourselves in great need before you approach the Lord for help. And yet every day, every hour should bring you blessings .... you should not undertake anything without having implored God's blessing .... you should turn upwards in sorrow and joy .... you should use the power of prayer at all times, because your soul constantly needs help so that it already reaches the goal in earthly life. And also in other respects you lack strength .... alone, without prayer you can do only little, but since you are entitled to the grace of prayer, use it as far as possible, beg for help in need, for purity of heart, ask for grace, for firmness of faith, for energy in charity .... ask with all your heart that the Lord may give you His love and take care of you with His care forever.

You can ask without ceasing .... if you pray for your soul's salvation, you will find an answer, because if you recognize what you lack, every requested support will be granted to you. "Ask and it will be given to you ...." , says the Lord. He invites you to turn to Him in your need .... , so heed this call and lift up the treasures the Lord promises you .... . Only do not fall prey to the mere form .... , for the Father never hears those who only appeal to Him for help with their lips .... and whose hearts are far away. And if your prayer is not answered, then inquire what you have not done right .... whether the prayer was sent up from the depth of the heart or only came from the lips and therefore did not reach the Father's ear .... inquire whether you have asked for earthly things which the Father withholds from you out of Fatherly insight and wisdom ....

And always be careful to submit your will to the will of the Lord in every prayer .... For the Father knows what is good for you and necessary for your salvation .... He will consider you in a right way, but never will He grant you something out of false fatherly love, which is only to the detriment of the soul. Therefore submit yourselves to His will and believe that He always only thinks of you in such a way as is helpful and beneficial to the soul .... And if you faithfully call upon Him in earthly trouble, His help will not fail to come .... So that His word may be fulfilled: Call on Me in times of need and I will hear you ....

Amen

Need that teaches right praying ....

B.D. 6457 from January 22nd 1956, taken from Book No. 69

I grant you all My protection and My help if you appeal to Me for it. And therefore no person can get lost who has so much faith in himself that he calls to Me for mercy in utmost adversity. I will truly not let him get lost, for such a call proves that he believes in Me. However, words which are only spoken by the mouth are not a call to Me because the human being's heart is then uninvolved and I only ever evaluate that which ascends to Me in spirit and in truth. But it is possible that even so-called formal christians send up a call to Me from their heart in times of greatest adversity, that they also have the certainty within themselves that there is a God Who can help them, and then turn to Him .... And I will not deceive this faith .... And the prayer of one person, which is thus sent up to Me in spirit and in truth, will achieve more than the lip prayer of masses who only use empty formulas and do not find the intimate connection with Me, whose faith in Me is thus a dead one, without strength and life .... And you humans will come into such adversity where only I can help you, and then it will prove who establishes the right relationship with Me, who commends himself to Me with all his heart and appeals for mercy. Only a completely hopeless state can bring about this appeal in weak or unbelieving people, when salvation no longer seems possible and the person almost gives up on himself .... Then he can remember Him Who has power and to Whom nothing is impossible .... And then all external coverings will fall off, then the human being will stand poor and humble before Him Whom he did not want to acknowledge but could not reject with conviction either, and then he will turn to Him with words which the heart stammers even if the mouth remains silent. And this one will not regret it eternally .... One day He will bless this great adversity which brought him the light of knowledge because he consciously established the bond with Me so that I could listen to him and also hear him. An anxious heart is most likely to let go of the rigid shell around it, it comes forth in all weakness and offers itself to Me, Whom it suddenly recognizes in its great adversity. But there must still be a spark of faith in it, which was buried and now shines through the great adversity as a tiny star of hope .... But anyone who is faithless will not find the way to Me even in greatest adversity, unless the strength of a fellow human being's faith could persuade him to likewise surrender to a power he has not yet recognized .... I know every thought and take it into account, and I will truly not let anyone who can still be saved get lost, for My love and care is constantly directed towards the people of this earth so that they will still find their way to Me before the end .... Therefore, whatever happens shall only contribute towards people acknowledging Me, towards them consciously establishing contact with Me, because then they will not be lost for eternal times either .... You, who are of awakened spirit, should only regard all events in the coming time in such a way that they serve to save the fallen one .... For many things will still happen which will cause you to tremble .... And people will be inclined to deny a God of love. But you know what it is all about .... that I use all means to induce people to send a call to Me from their heart .... and that I therefore also have to resort to means which make you doubt My love and yet My love alone is decisive because I want to protect the souls from further banishment, from far greater adversity ....

God’s protection against the work of the adversary

The father's encouragement and comfort ....

B.D. 6791 from March 25th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

How often has My help been assured to you in every spiritual and earthly adversity. I don't want you to suffer, thus I will also take the suffering away from you if you come to Me in faithful trust and appeal to Me for it. But you must not express this request timidly, you must not doubt My love or My power .... And every timid request is a doubt about it, and this also makes the fulfilment questionable, whereas strong undoubted faith achieves everything with Me. A child which completely entrusts itself to its father will never experience his refusal because the father loves his child .... However, My love for you exceeds an earthly father's love for his child a thousand fold, and this love grants you everything but can only do so if you believe, for every doubt restricts the effectiveness of My love, for doubts also prove the child's reduced love for the father. And hardship often comes upon you in order to free you from these doubts, when you know no earthly way out and yet know that there is one Who can help you .... Then you will also turn to Him in that adversity and completely hand yourselves over to Him .... And then you will also lose all doubt, for great adversity can bring this about. Call upon Me in adversity and I will hear you .... ask and it will be given to you .... Come to Me, you who are weary and burdened, and I will refresh you .... Always remember My words which My love spoke to you, which have always assured you of help and which you can believe because I Myself have spoken them. Submit yourselves to My will and trust Me, and I truly want to guide you through all suffering, I want to help you carry your burden which weighs you down, I want to release you from every adversity. But don't forget that you live in the last days, that everyone's path of life will come to an abrupt end and that you have voluntarily taken increased suffering upon yourselves in order to help your soul reach maturity in the short time left. Think more of your soul than of your body and patiently endure its pain for the sake of your soul. And come to Me with complete trust, asking Me for the strength to be able to endure everything, for a child which loves its father will also gladly take a burden upon itself if the father deems it beneficial for his child. Consider every adversity as a warning sign of the approaching end .... Your life on earth as a human being was given to you for the maturing of your souls. It could certainly also be a peaceful one if love would unite all people .... But where this is lacking My adversary can particularly excel, and he will strike wounds everywhere in order to endanger your soul, and you should not let him have victory over you. The path to Me is always open to you, and you should always take it and appeal to Me for protection and help against him so that your souls will not suffer any harm. I am always ready to help, and it will be all the more obvious the stronger your faith is. My adversary, however, tries to shake the faith in you, therefore you first have to struggle for this strong faith, which love lets come alive .... You yourselves must try to compensate with love for everything My adversary causes in his hatred .... Then you will increase in strength of faith, then your prayer to Me will become ever more heartfelt and trusting, and then My love will be able to make My children happy, and I will answer every prayer because I will not let faith be put to shame ....

Amen

Increased activity of the adversary in the end time ....

B.D. 7123 from May 17th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

I am always ready to take over your protection if you ask Me for it. I know that again and again you are exposed to oppression and are often unable to offer resistance due to your weakness. But neither can I turn them away from you before you approach Me for help, because My adversary also has the right to exert his influence on you. And thus it is always up to you yourselves whether you receive help or My adversary gains power over you. He makes every effort to bring you down, for he sees it when a soul threatens to be lost to him. And then he will use all means to win you back. And this will always mean hours or days of inner struggles and spiritual hardship for you. But if you call upon Me he will have to leave you .... Don't forget that you have a very certain effective means to push him away from you if only you speak My name in devotion, if you give yourselves to Me in Jesus, so that I may now be your protection against him. He is and remains My adversary but he also knows that he is powerless against Me, that I only allow him freedom if you don't resist him yourselves, because then it is his right to practice his art of seduction on you, for once you followed him voluntarily and until you voluntarily try to escape from him I cannot deprive him of his right. But you may also request My grace and love at any time, you are not defencelessly at his mercy if only you remember Me and want to resist him. In the last days before the end his rage is particularly noticeable, for he will cause confusion amongst people everywhere, he will ignite discord and strife, he will touch every individual where he is sensitive .... And he will make use of those who are loyal followers of him. And this will have the effect that people will be hostile towards each other, that everyone will only strive for his own advantages and not be afraid to deceive his neighbour, every individual will have to struggle with the adversities of daily life behind which My adversary always lies, who wants to rob people of their inner peace in order to make them receptive to his influence. He truly knows his business in the end time but nevertheless you humans need not become discouraged, for you can escape his influence if only you muster the will to call upon Me for help in every physical and spiritual adversity. Then you need not fear defeat, then you will be strong enough to resist him because I will provide you with strength and help you to become victors over him. But no human being will be able to go through earthly life without a fight, for you take your earthly path for this purpose in order to ascend from the abyss, and every ascent requires strength and overcoming .... But the ascent can be easy for you if you entrust yourselves to My protection and My help, if you constantly request and draw strength from Me, which will then also let you easily overcome all obstacles and always lead you closer to the aim .... For anyone who asks for Me will also certainly unite with Me, and then the aim for the purpose of which he walks on earth will also have been reached ....

Amen

The work of satan .... Help through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7631 from June 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

In the epoch when God walked across earth in Jesus Satan raged particularly fiercely amongst people, for since Jesus' crucifixion many souls have been lost to him and he still hopes to win them back because he wants to arrogate to himself dominion over everything and thus also over the spirit world which had emerged from his will and God's strength. And he also believes he can win back those who have already found union with God because he believes he can once again exert his influence on these beings as he did in the beginning with the apostasy of the spirits. And that is why his rage is particularly strong in the last days on earth, that is why he uses all conceivable means to assert himself and to snatch human souls from God which have already turned to Him of their own free will. But his degree of realisation is so low that he does not realize the impossibility of his plan, for he is blinded in spirit and will never attain enlightened realisation as long as he is still active as God's adversary, as long as he has not returned to the father's house himself. But this is why people also have to expect unusual grants of grace in order to be able to withstand his onslaught. And God, in His love for the unredeemed, will help him until the end so that people can resist him if they are willing to do so. But you humans can certainly reckon with the fact that a hard battle will still take place before the end, for the adversary's time has not yet expired where he can work, because he is entitled to also fight for the souls which once followed him into the abyss. And therefore you humans should also know about the process in the kingdom of the spirits which explains your existence as a human being on earth .... you should know that increased demands will be placed on you in the last days but that you will also be able to liberate yourselves completely from its control and that your freedom is therefore well worth the struggle, for freedom will then also guarantee you light and strength and bliss .... You should know why the last days will be so difficult for you humans and what causes underlie this phenomenon .... And you should resist because thereby you will attain beatitude in the spiritual kingdom or in the paradise of the new earth, where you will be compensated for all hardship and tribulations you still have to endure until the end of the old earth. But you always have protection and a shield, a helper in greatest need .... you have Jesus Christ, to Whom you need only call when danger threatens you .... Who will never leave you without help, Who will never ignore your prayer to Him .... Who will always stand by you because you now call upon God Himself in Jesus Christ, Who redeemed you from sin and death .... He walked across the earth, He opposed God's adversary with His resistance, He redeemed the guilt of sin for you, He paid the purchase price for all of you with His blood, and thus you are free from your adversary if you want this and take refuge in Jesus Christ, thus acknowledge His act of salvation. Then he may rage as much as he likes and use all his arts of seduction .... he will not be successful with you who hold on to Jesus Christ, for you will be able to receive grace without measure, your will and your love will be strengthened and you will be able to free yourselves from the chains which God's adversary once threw over you .... Jesus Christ Himself will set you free if only you have the will to follow Him. And you will receive strength until the end in order to be able to persevere, for the strength from God is certain to all who are His and want to remain for all eternity ...._>Amen

Trust in God’s help

Work of God and the adversary in the last days ....

B.D. 8024 from October 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I don't want to lose you to My adversary, and therefore you should only take the path to Me and appeal to Me for protection and help so that you thereby grant Me the right to push him away from you, which, however, I will not do if you still belong to his entourage yourselves, if you don't yet have the will to detach yourselves from him. For he still has a right to you as long as you don't resist him, as long as you still acknowledge him as your lord. But he will have lost his right to you immediately if your will is directed towards Me, if you therefore call upon Me for protection and help. And then he will still try to influence you under the cover of piety, he will use cunning and trickery in order not to lose you to Me, but all efforts on his part will be unsuccessful if you desire to become free from him yourselves. His activity in the last days will go so far that he will try to extinguish all light which could show people the path to Me .... he will try to weaken My word, he will try to prevent the bearers of light from fulfilling their tasks, he will cause unrest and confusion wherever he can in order to undermine faith in Me, in order to prevent people from looking for and finding their God and father. And his means are truly satanic, for he disguises himself well and often succeeds in causing confusion where a firm bond with Me has not already brought enlightenment of spirit and he and his activity are recognized. He also knows that he does not have much time left, and he still expects much success in the short time. But anyone who consciously renounces him also enjoys My protection and will not fall into his hands because I prevent this by virtue of My love and My power. Yet I cannot give you humans any supernatural evidence of My might and power so as not to force your faith, which shall apply to Me in complete freedom .... You shall believe in Me and My being, which is love, wisdom and power in itself .... And this faith also secures you My help, My guidance and your release from him .... And My love truly does everything to make it easy for you to gain faith in Me. For where My adversary's activity appears so obviously I will also take special care of people without, however, necessarily influencing your faith. Yet again and again I touch your hearts, I reveal Myself to you in the most diverse ways .... I speak to you fatefully, (23.10.1961) I try to influence you mentally, I bring you together with people who are in contact with Me, who in conversations testify to Me and My might, to My love and wisdom .... I will always find a way to make you take a stand for Me, and I will make it easy for you to gain faith in Me, because I Myself want you to believe in Me as a perfect being Who created you out of His love .... I want to provide you with evidence of My existence just as My adversary tries to destroy your faith in Me .... And you are truly not defencelessly exposed to his violence .... the measure of My grace which I will still pour out on you in the last days is unlimited, you just have to make use of it yourselves, you have to take advantage of the grace with which I bestow upon you abundantly, and then you will no longer need to fear My adversary either, who is repelled by My presence and to whom My presence in you is also recognizable if you consciously hand yourselves over to Me and appeal to Me for My protection. My adversary will cause much harm in the last days and yet people themselves give him the right to do so because they don't defend themselves and don't take refuge in Me. And they would do so if they believed in a God of love, wisdom and might. But they lack faith and that is why the adversary has such great power and uses it in a frightening way. And again and again he will storm against strong walls of faith which, however, will withstand him, behind which My own will find safe shelter and also grant protection to those who are still weak in faith, who will then grow stronger in their faith and thus also testify to My love, wisdom and power ....

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Answer to prayers

Fully Trusting Prayer ....

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

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

Amen

Supplication in intimacy and hearing ....

B.D. 3362 from December 10th 1944, taken from Book No. 44

Request My grace in prayer and you will truly not need to live in want or remain in spiritual hardship .... Every appeal sent to Me from earth for the sake of the spirit will be heard and I will consider the person according to his strength of faith. But if you pray to Me with sincerity you will carry the firm faith within you that I can and will help you, and then My grace will flow to you to such an extent that you will have to recognize Me by your peaceful composure, for I will carry this peace into your heart as soon as you want to receive Me in it. The intimacy of prayer opens the door to your heart for Me, in which I look around and guide you to further order in it by admonishing you to love and also giving you strength to be active according to My will. And you will be able to do everything, you will reach your spiritual aim if you call upon Me for grace, for My help, My strength, which I have promised you with the words: "Ask and it shall be given you ...." The earthly adversity has to oppress you at times so that you will reflect spiritually: The earthly adversity is the means to induce you to intimate prayer, and it will also be remedied if you believe .... But anyone who prays to Me for the sake of his soul will noticeably draw Me to him, I will be close to him and lead him by the hand, I will provide his soul with nourishment which will let it recognize My love. And it will draw strength and power from it, for this is My help that I speak to it and give it the evidence that I hear it. Never again will I leave a person calling to Me in distress, and therefore you may appeal to Me without ceasing, I will hear you and help you, for My love will never cease ....

Amen

Whatever you ask the Father in My name .... '

B.D. 6374 from October 10th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

And you will truly receive whatever you ask for in My name .... You have to call upon Me in Jesus Christ .... Only someone who acknowledges Me, the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, who recognises his God and Father in Him and thus prays to the 'Father', will find his request granted, for he will be guided by My spirit to the One from Whom he once originated .... Whoever does not acknowledge Jesus, the Son of Man, as the heavenly Father's representative .... whoever does not believe that I embodied Myself in Jesus the human being, will not send a prayer to Me in complete trust either .... even if he doesn't deny a 'God', but instead his belief in a God and Creator was purely acquired and did not come alive in him .... For a living faith is the result of love, but love also acknowledges Jesus Christ as God's Son and Redeemer of the world, Who merged with His Father of eternity .... Thus he will no longer separate the Redeemer Jesus Christ from the Eternal Deity, he will have been enlightened by his spirit that He and I are one .... And his prayer will always be granted, for he will only ever request something I can give to him without damaging his soul ....

You humans will only be able to understand the true meaning of My Words if My spirit can work in you .... My spirit, however, can only work in you if you allow it to do so, if you, through a life of love, provide it with the opportunity to express itself to you .... But then you will accept My Word as if it was directly spoken to you, for then I will address My children and with My Word will also simultaneously give them the understanding for it .... And then you will be able to consider yourselves blessed, for your soul will receive light .... it will begin to understand, it will mature, for then you will also do everything I ask of you. You will comply with My will and shape yourselves increasingly more into love, and your soul will perfect itself while it is still on earth ....

Call upon Me in Jesus Christ and first of all pray to achieve this perfection on earth .... And truly, you will not make this prayer to Me in vain .... For hearing a spiritual request is most pleasing to Me, a spiritual request will be fulfilled, because the Father won't deny His child anything and because the human being already demonstrates his childship by appealing to Me for help to become perfect .... And always pray that you become and stay aware of My presence .... Then you will constantly walk your earthly path in company with your eternal Father, then you can never go wrong, then you will mentally dwell increasingly more in spiritual spheres and your progress will be assured. You could achieve so much if you remember My Word and conduct yourselves in accordance with My Words .... if you 'ask the Father in My name ....'

Earthly and spiritually you cannot make an inappropriate request, I will always grant your wishes, for I made this promise to you and I keep My Word. Call upon the divine Redeemer with Whom the Father united Himself .... Call to God in Jesus Christ .... Then you, too, will belong to the redeemed, then you will have penetrated the mystery of God's human manifestation .... For unredeemed people completely lack the belief that I embodied Myself in the human being Jesus .... But you demonstrate this belief when you ask 'the Father in My name' ....

Amen

Promise of God's protection in the end time ....

B.D. 7407 from September 12th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

I want to take all of you into My protection when the great adversity will befall you humans. I will visibly let all those who want to be Mine, who have already sought and found contact with Me, all those who sincerely pray to Me and call upon Me for help, and they shall experience everything without fear and worry, always in the firm certainty that I Myself am with them and will lead them through all adversity. For only this certainty will make it possible for them to speak for Me, to preach the gospel to their fellow human beings, thus to speak on My behalf, because many more people shall be won over for Me, for eternal life. In this time of adversity your tongues will be loosened, you will be impelled to speak by My spirit and you will be able to spread much blessing, for people will listen to you because they are in great distress and hope for some kind of help. This can hardly be brought to them from the human side, rather, fellow human beings will still contribute towards increasing the hardship who seek to enrich themselves without any scruples and know no inhibitions out of their conscience. But I can help My own, and I will help them so that they can also get through this difficult time and help those around them themselves. I only require strong faith from you, and therefore I already prepare you for this time by letting you get into hardship which will be remedied again and again, and this so obviously that you have to believe in a father in heaven Who loves you and is also ready to help at any time. Your faith shall be strengthened .... Don't forget that this is an aim for the sake of which you will repeatedly fall into adversity .... But again and again you will be led out because I want to show you that a father in heaven knows about all your worries and can and will remedy them in due time .... You all do not know what lies ahead of you .... But I know, and I do not want to lose you as My children .... I want you to hold on to Me ever more firmly and finally be so intimately united with Me that you no longer start anything without Me, that you constantly feel Me beside you and in this presence of Mine are also truly protected from every danger .... For I need you as My co-workers in the last days before the end, I need you to bear witness to Me and My fatherly love, to proclaim the gospel of love and to bring people to Me who are still on the sidelines and whom I nevertheless don't want to lose again for a long time. I need good speakers to whom I can put My word into their mouths when the time comes when it becomes necessary to proclaim Me and the approaching end. I need servants in My vineyard, messengers who spread My pure word, who will then also speak according to My will. And these need not fear, although a great adversity will pass over the earth .... they will be sustained by My fatherly love, they will always find help, whatever it may be, and whether humanly speaking there can be no help .... My power and love is great and always remembers those who want to be Mine and will also remain so for all eternity ....

Amen

Request for strength and grace is always granted ....

B.D. 8148 from April 11th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And you can request My grace and strength at any time .... You will never go empty-handed, for I am always willing to give if only you want to receive. And since you are weak as long as you still lack love, which is strength in itself, you must request strength from Me so that you practise love, so that your weakness is overcome and thus you can accomplish works of love. I will never leave a prayer for strength and grace unanswered, for then you will humbly confess your shortcomings to Me and also acknowledge Me Myself as the being Which is perfect, thus also has strength and light in abundance at its disposal and will now give them to you as a gift of grace .... For it is a grace when I bestow strength and light upon you in an unusual way, because you once rejected strength and light of your own free will and will now be bestowed with it again in the form of a gift from Me if only you ask Me for it. No person on earth needs to remain weak and lightless if he turns to Me, Whom he now acknowledges as a source of light and strength through his request .... And truly, his prayer will be heard, for as soon as you have come to the realization that your nature is deficient you will also humbly approach Me and voluntarily return to Me, Whom you once left in arrogance and therefore became weak and darkened in spirit. But I have no pleasure in a flawed being, and I Myself help it to its former perfection as soon as only its will applies to Me again, from Whom it once turned away .... But as long as you are still dominated by My adversary, whom you once followed into the abyss in free will, the feeling of weakness will not yet prevail in you either, but you will still be of an arrogant spirit and not break off the relationship with My adversary in order to turn to Me .... And as long as you do not come to Me in prayer that I may fill you with strength and grace, for My adversary keeps you from establishing contact with Me and calling upon Me in spirit and in truth. And therefore I also know how to value a prayer for strength and grace, I know that you thereby confess yourselves to Me, that you return to Me as repentant children and that you appeal to Me to be accepted as children again by the father Who loves you .... But then I will not let any call fall on My ear, I will give to you so abundantly that you will now walk the path full of strength and light which will certainly lead to the goal, to Me, for My grace will draw you and you will gladly let yourselves be drawn, you will no longer resist Me, you will make use of all graces and evaluate them .... And you become enlightened because My strength of grace is also expressed by the fact that love ignites in you which gives you the light you once lost. A prayer for grace and strength which comes from the heart is a spiritual request, and every spiritual request is granted. Hence you will also lose all weakness and be allowed to receive My flow of strength, and it will enliven the soul and make it capable of successfully completing the work itself .... But the body will also be allowed to participate if I deem this beneficial .... For its weakness shall also often prompt the human being to pray for grace and strength, and truly, I will pour out My grace and give to you without limitation, for I love you and long for your return to Me, which you must accomplish of your own free will. No human being will need to do without My grace and strength .... But no human being will be able to do without it either, for without the granting of My strength of grace he cannot ascend, precisely because he is weak and cannot ascend on his own. But he can always be certain that I will hear and listen to him when this request for strength and grace reaches My ear .... For then you humbly bow down to your father's will; you acknowledge Me and desire Me .... And I will take hold of you and not let go until complete unification with Me has taken place ....

Amen

B.D. 5968 from May 31th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

The world will still cause you humans much trouble in a time of unrest which precedes the end. For you will see more and more of the world, and spiritual matters will fade into the background in view of the miserable situation you humans will find yourselves in which is nevertheless easy to bear if you adjust yourselves spiritually, if only you join Me and appeal to Me for help. You can only survive the coming time in a bearable way with the right attitude towards Me .... Believe these words of Mine and don't let My image fade away in you .... i.e., don't put Me aside for the sake of the world, for I am also a lord of this world, and I can truly lead you out of all adversity and protect you from all dangers if only you let Me be present, if you don't let a day go by without intimately joining Me, and you commend yourselves to My love and grace. I want to be your constant thought and you should not let anything separate you from Me .... The awareness that I can always help you and also want to help you should let you persevere in every earthly adversity quietly and trustingly until My help comes, for it will come .... as long as you stick to Me and hand yourselves over to Me and My will .... Who should be able to help you if not Me? .... and is there any need greater than My power? And I promise you My help if you want to be and remain Mine, if you stand by Me and give Me the first place in your heart .... What can the world do to you? .... as long as you lean on Me, you are stronger than the world, than all the threats and hardships My adversary intends to inflict on you .... I can also keep these away from you, and I will do so if you earnestly seek to attain Me and My kingdom. And whether it roars and rages around you .... quietly and safely you can watch the greatest storm pass you by because I command it not to touch you .... Therefore, pay no attention to the world and its turmoil .... Do not let yourselves be anxious and oppressed by things concerning your earthly life .... Just turn your eyes trustingly to Me and stretch out your hand to Me and I will lead you out of all distress .... I will guide you safely even over uneven paths and your soul will reach its aim without danger .... earthly and spiritually I will look after you and strengthen you in the time to come ....

Amen

Taking advantage of the time of grace before the end ....

B.D. 4962 from September 3rd 1950, taken from Book No. 56

There is still a time of grace, for the end is not yet here .... The human being still has the opportunity to take the right path which leads upwards, and My means of grace are still at his disposal so that he can reach his aim. The human being is still free to do whatever he wants for the salvation of his soul. He can still strive upwards, he will be helped in every way if his will is directed upwards .... There is still a time of grace .... But soon it will be over, and then what has been determined since eternity will irrevocably happen, then that beingness will be bound in matter again, which at present still walks on earth as a human being. It cannot be made clear to you humans how immensely significant this is, and I can only influence you through warnings and admonitions, but you don't believe them much. And again and again I would like to call out to you: Use the time of grace, listen to My words which are conveyed to you through seers and prophets, that the time until the end is only short. Recognize My love in the fact that I repeatedly send you admonishers and warnings because I want to save you from the fate of a renewed banishment in My works of creation. Use the time of grace in which you can still change according to My will. As long as this earth still exists you can also appeal to My love and grace, to My patience and mercy, and you will never make a wrong request if you pray for your spiritual well-being and request My support. I grant it to you in abundance, yet I take pity on your state and your dreadful fate if you fail and persist in your resistance against Me until the end. It is still the time of grace when I will use all means which can still help you if you do not resist Me. Isolated little lights still shine which can illuminate the darkness of your path if you do not extinguish them yourselves. Again and again guides still step into your path, messengers from Me, who offer you their guidance on My behalf so that you will not go astray towards the abyss. I am constantly ready with My grace to help those who call out to Me in adversity or stand undecided at a crossroads; yet the time of grace will soon come to an end, and where each individual soul will stand on the last day, there it will have to stay for endless times through .... in light or in darkness .... Then My love and mercy will give way to justice. Then the gates of the spiritual kingdom close for those who did not use My time of grace .... Then the soul that has apostatized from Me must inevitably take the path that I wanted to spare it, the path through creation for the purpose of slowly returning to Me .... it must travel the path of ascent once again in greatest agony of being bound, because it did not heed My admonitions and warnings, because it did not avail itself of My grace, because it spurned My love ....

Amen

Utilizing the time of grace before the end ....

B.D. 5729 from July 21st 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You cannot delay the end anymore, for the time is fulfilled which God determined from the start in the knowledge of your will, since this strives relentlessly downwards and needs to be constrained anew. Every individual person can still shape himself such that he will not belong to those who will fall prey to a renewed banishment and also influence his fellow human beings so that they will be protected from the worst judgment. The time is fulfilled .... it means that the day of the end, the day when the material creations on this earth will be disintegrated, can be expected at any hour, even if no time has been given to you humans, because this knowledge would only result in utter confusion but be of no benefit to anyone. Yet it will happen as you were told .... and the last days will pass by in what seems like an instant, for they are only the end of that which was predicted to you long before .... The days of Judgment are already here and everyone can see it if he looks around with open eyes, yet what only concerns individual people at the moment will extend to all people, suffering, distress, mortal fear, adversity and despair .... Everyone will experience it, for the forces of hell are let loose, they rage and provoke wherever something can still be destroyed and they always find willing people whom they can use to cause all kinds of damage. However, everyone is able to apply for help from God, every person has virtuous spiritual forces by his side which he only needs to call upon to protect him from danger of body and soul .... Anyone who entrusts himself to God and His messengers of light can very confidently anticipate the end.

The time you humans were given for your souls' maturation is fulfilled and the day of the end has been determined from the very beginning. But you don't know when it will happen and can therefore even now still tackle the work of improving your soul, for every hour you turn your thoughts upwards is beneficial for you, since you establish the connection with the spiritual world from whence you originate .... Just try to detach your thoughts from the world, don't let yourselves be controlled by the world and its possessions so as not to allow matter to become your fate for an infinitely long time to come .... Let your thoughts wander into a higher sphere and try to ascend to it. You will be able to do so because countless spiritual forces offer support to you, because they will carry you if you request them to do so. You can overcome the world if only you seriously want to. Use every day you are still given as an extraordinary gift of grace but bear in mind that every day can also be the last one for you and that only a very short time separates you from the end of this earth. For the end is not only granted to individual people but to the whole human race, because the law of eternal order is coming to pass and this law has existed for eternity. What you humans regard as a delay is part of the plan of eternity and can only be assessed as a delay insofar as that people already have reached the low spiritual level before the time which results in a disintegration of Earth .... However, God is merciful and will not pass Judgment ahead of the time .... In His love He still seeks to save people and distributes remarkable gifts of grace which are intended to contribute towards the redemption, but He will not change the Day of Judgment and announces it ever more admonishingly and warningly .... Yet He meets with little belief and the end draws ever closer .... And despite all predictions by His seers and prophets it will take humanity by surprise. And he who believes will be blessed, only he who believes will prepare himself even if he does not know the hour of the Lord's coming .... but he expects his coming and perseveres until the end ....

Amen

Admonitions for preparing the end

Reference to the end and admonition to care for soul ....

B.D. 4765 from October 26th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

Everything points to the end .... Look around you and don't allow yourselves to be deceived into believing that you will ascend earthly and that you have overcome the time of adversity. It is only just beginning and what you will experience will surpass all previous ones. Pay attention to the signs of the times and compare them with what I have announced to you. You don't want to believe that the last time has come and therefore you don't pay attention to My announcements. And yet you will not be spared but be witnesses to the truth of My word. Only you would gain far more if you believe and recognize My obvious working. You will gain much for your souls, for then your faith will strengthen and also help you to endure the difficult time. The day will approach which I have determined since eternity. But I don't want to let you experience this day without warning, and therefore I come to you again and again in the word and draw your attention to the enormous change in your situation in life. You cannot benefit from anything earthly, you cannot make provisions, you cannot flee and bring yourselves and your possessions to safety either .... you can only take care of your soul so that it will experience this day prepared. Then you will be safe in My fatherly heart despite all adversity and I will also support you earthly. Therefore do not strive to create earthly improvements for yourselves in the short time you still have left, for nothing will remain for you but what I grant you and what falls to you as soon as you are only Mine through your will. Do not increase your earthly goods, but only the wealth of your soul .... Give food and drink for it and thereby make it strong and mature for what is to come. For even if the time from Me to the end is short, it will still make the greatest demands and you shall be able to meet them through strong faith. Pay attention to the signs of the times and recognize that the end is near .... And do everything in order to be able to expect the end with composure and trust in Me, prepare yourselves by only thinking of your souls, seek heartfelt contact with Me, your creator and father of eternity, so that you will remain faithful to Me until the end ....

Amen

Reference to a natural disaster .... Urgent admonition to prepare ....

B.D. 3949 from January 1st 1947, taken from Book No. 49

My call goes to all those of you who receive My Word: Prepare yourselves for the coming time which will considerably change your circumstances of life, which will confront you with immense spiritual and earthly tasks and which you therefore cannot take seriously enough if you don't want to damage to your soul. For you must already draw strength in advance because overwhelming requirements will be demanded of you, both spiritually as well as earthly. Earthly life will burden you so heavily that you will only be able to endure it with Me and My help, and therefore you must first of all remain in contact with Me, you must not waver in your faith and think that I have forsaken you, for you can only find comfort and strength in your faith in Me, then you will come to Me and I will help you. And although many people around you will lose faith in view of the immense adversity which will irrevocably occur .... remain steadfast and devoted to Me in your heart and you will feel Me and My presence, you will always find the help which I had promised you. As yet you are unable to believe that which I have proclaimed to you time and again, as yet it still seems questionable to you that I Myself will visibly appear .... Nevertheless, the hour comes constantly closer and with it a complete change of your normal living conditions .... And you should prepare yourselves for this already by detaching yourselves from all material things in advance, by leaving your further lifestyle entirely up to Me and in complete faith in Me only take care of your soul. For regardless of how much care you take you will be unable to keep earthly things if I consider it more helpful for you to lose them .... Yet whatever I want you to keep will not be touched by the forces of nature through which I will manifest Myself.

Believe that I direct everyone's fate according to My love and wisdom and that any anxious worry by you is unfounded. I Myself look after My Own such that they will still be able to achieve as much maturity of soul as possible on Earth.

The time until the end is but short and for many people it will also signify a shortened life on earth; they should and would indeed be able to reach the goal, even in a shorter time, because My love makes every opportunity available to them. Therefore, take My Words seriously, count on a speedy end and on the natural disaster beforehand, and expect it daily, for it will come suddenly, even for My Own. And utterly entrust yourselves to Me .... I will never ever leave you if only you remember Me, and if you call upon Me in your heart I will hear you. Yet make full use of the time before, let go of all earthly striving and only try to gain spiritual benefits. And remain faithful to Me even in times of greatest adversity and you will have Me as a constant helper by your side, you will evidently experience My often miraculous help, for I have promised you this and My Word is and remains eternal truth. Believe in this and also in the forthcoming great time of adversity and prepare yourselves for it by constantly drawing strength from My Word, by seeking Me more sincerely then ever and by remaining in constant contact with Me through prayer and actions of love, for you will need much strength so as not to falter when I manifest Myself through the forces of nature .... However, don't fear anything regardless of what will happen, for I will protect My Own so that they will be strong supporters for Me during the last days before the end, who shall help to spread My Word in order that souls of good will shall still be saved ....

Amen

Admonition to prepare for the end ....

B.D. 5195 from August 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

You should prepare yourselves for the coming time .... What My seers and prophets have proclaimed will come to pass, for time has expired and according to eternal law humanity is facing a radical change, which has to be understood in a spiritual as well as a material sense. It is the time of the end, the earth is changing and for the inhabitants of earth an era comes to an end and a new one begins. Yet only a few of the people who are presently alive will experience this new era, for preconditions have to be complied with which only those few will carry out. For this reason the earth will come to an end and countless people will die as a result because they cannot experience the new era anymore. I Am indeed lenient with those who will still come to Me in the last hour, who will call upon Me for mercy, yet only a few will suddenly change and realise their sinfulness and therefore still be accepted by Me in the last hour. But it is My will that the small flock of My Own shall reach the final goal, that they will survive the ending of this era and enter the new era where I will need them to uphold My law of order. And therefore I say to you:

Prepare yourselves for the coming time, for it will make extraordinary demands on you, on your will, your faith and your loyalty to Me. The approaching time enables you to achieve exceptionally high maturity but it will also lay claim to all your strength. For the closer it gets to the end the more that which is actually reality will appear unreal to you, the more your faith will be attacked and My name dragged through the mud. But if you seriously prepare yourselves you will be above it all, for as soon as you belong to those who know, your faith can no longer be shaken. Knowledge, however, is the consequence of love .... therefore you should make an effort to live a busy life of love for then you will prepare yourselves well for the end .... This is My advice which you should not ignore .... Cultivate love .... and an abundance of strength and light will flow to you which will enable you to resist everything that will be inflicted on you in the last days and nothing will be able to incapacitate you in the final battle. Prepare yourselves and don't hesitate, for the time is approaching the end, this period of Salvation will be terminated because it corresponds to the eternal order that a change will have to take place as soon as no further progress can be achieved in the spiritual development .... No spiritual impetus can be found amongst people, only a few are striving towards the light and for these few I have a new task in mind which will only start after the change that takes place at the end. Hence they, My small flock, will once again be admonished to eagerly work at improving their souls, for the last great onslaught will happen soon, the last battle begins which shall find forearmed fighters who will enter the battle with Me and therefore will also win .... who will triumph in the end over the opponent and his followers ....

Amen

Serious admonition .... The final phase of the earth ....

B.D. 5383 from May 6th 1952, taken from Book No. 59

Your well-ordered life will only last a little while longer in order to then be plunged into a chaos which you cannot escape with your own strength. For then the earth will enter its final phase, it will be approaching its end .... This prediction has to be taken very seriously, since it is intended to make you aware that your time, too, is coming to an end, that you don't have a long lifespan left and many will even have to brace themselves to be suddenly recalled before. Every day you are still alive is a gift you should value, for every good deed you do in one day will increase your strength, which you will sorely need to make use of in the coming time. However, anyone who thoughtlessly lives without love and faith will be completely without strength or hand himself over to the one who will certainly provide him with strength but will not protect him from the end, from the last Judgment, from the renewed banishment in solid matter. Don't sell your soul for a price which will truly not make up for the hardship the soul has yet to go through when its earthly life comes to an end .... I cannot admonish you often and seriously enough about this, because I want to prepare a blissful fate for you. Yet you humans don't believe what I repeatedly let seers and prophets proclaim to you .... you don't believe it and I cannot force you to believe. You are truly worldly-minded and incredibly distant from being spiritual, you are completely immersed in matter and this matter will overwhelm you, it will completely imprison you again because you don't want to let go of it as long as you have the strength to hold on.

Try to imagine just for once imprisonment in hardest matter and being unable to free yourselves from it. The thought would give you tremendous strength to avoid this fate, yet you lack belief in it and I cannot give you this belief, you will have to acquire it for yourselves through a life of love .... Then the whole context will become clear to you and also the significance of your earthly life as a human being .... And you would be alarmed as to how much you deviate from the task given to you for the time of your existence on earth .... Do good works, force yourselves to do so, learn to do without for the sake of your fellow human being, alleviate suffering and hardship, comfort and refresh those who are sick and weak, lend a merciful hand wherever you see misery .... you won't just do it for others but also for yourselves, for your soul will come alive and every good deed will gain you spiritual enlightenment .... you will attain spiritual vision and recognise My great love where you still see today the merciless reign of a power which only wants to torture you on earth .... Listen to My repeated call of warning and admonition and don't let it bypass your ears unheeded, let go of your desire for material things, only consider the salvation of your soul and don't worry, for I will also take care of you in an earthly sense if only you seriously take care of your soul, which is in utmost danger because the end is near ....

Amen

End time prophesies and admonitions ....

B.D. 6870 from July 12th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

As yet the period of Salvation is not concluded, a short period of time is still separating you humans from the final work of destruction on this earth .... And all of you could still become blessed if only you would recognise and acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, the spiritual state you are in when the end of this earth, or even the end of your earthly life, comes upon you depends on this .... For the end you are granted will come suddenly and unexpectedly. And yet, no human being need be unprepared, for every person will still be told often enough what is in store for all of you, he just will not want to believe it. What is about to happen to you will ring in every person's ears again and again, for all coming worldly events are also indications and signs of a near end. And likewise all people will also hear My voice resound from above, for this event will not remain hidden from any person and can still be a last warning for everyone that the end can happen just as suddenly to them as it will happen to those who fall prey to the natural disaster. It will only be a little while longer, yet it will soon pass by .... But then the end will come without fail along with the Judgment which will decide the fate of every single soul. If only you humans would just acquaint yourselves with this idea that you create your own future fate, and if only you would believe Me that you can still attain your goal with ease providing you still make use of the short time, providing you entrust yourselves to Me and appeal for My guidance .... But you don't listen to My warnings and admonitions, you remain indifferent, and you allow the disaster to confront you without protecting yourselves from it or averting it .... For you do not believe .... You don't believe My Words and I Am unable to inform you of the coming events in any other way than through My Word, in view of the fact that you must find the path to Me of your own volition and therefore you may not be given more obvious proof ....

And the wheel of time keeps turning relentlessly .... Countless people will still be recalled by Me and this, too, should arouse people from their sluggish, routine life that is like a sleep from which they will be rudely awakened one day but then have no more time to prepare themselves for the end. The sleepers don't want to forgo their rest and slowly slip into a sleep of death, for their souls can only look forward to death because they don't appreciate life enough in order to acquire eternal life for themselves. People distance themselves ever further from Me Whom they should, after all, strive towards, and they think of their divine Redeemer even less, His act of Salvation is totally ignored, and thus My adversary, who can only be overcome by the One in Whom I embodied Myself for the sake of sinful humankind, is in control of people .... But without Him the end will also be terrible for people, for they will be hopelessly at the mercy of their destiny, they will be unable to find redemption because they reject the Redeemer Himself .... because they don't take the path to Me Who alone can help them. Again and again I approach people in Jesus Christ, again and again will people be told about His Gospel, they will repeatedly be invited to profess Jesus Christ and to adopt His divine teaching of love, and the approaching end will also be repeatedly mentioned. But it will be left to them to profess Him and to accept His blessings. But without Jesus Christ they will be unable to survive this end and neither can they be admitted to the kingdom of light if they are recalled earlier without having found Him .... All the same, the end will come without fail. However, it would not have to be feared, it would not have to be dreadful if faith in My Word impelled people to diligently work at improving their soul, for then a person would establish the connection with Me in Jesus Christ and the blessings of the act of Salvation would be utilised and assuredly also lead to maturity, so that he would not have to fear the end and the Judgment ....

Amen

Serious Words of admonition regarding the end ....

B.D. 7211 from November 19th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

Brace yourselves for severe strokes of fate which will affect you to a greater or lesser extent because the end is coming ever closer and all people shall still be influenced such that they will seriously consider the end, be it their own end or that which the whole earth can expect .... They shall only be seriously reminded to prepare themselves, for you don't have much time left. Hence you humans will repeatedly hear from Me Myself about what is in store for you and you would do well to heed My Words, to accept them as pure truth and to adjust your life accordingly. There will always be people again who will try to lessen such admonitions and warnings, who will claim that they are implausible and aim to trivialise what is, after all, hugely important because it can determine the state of your souls for an infinitely long time to come .... Don't listen to them but keep to My Word instead which, time and again, comes to you from above, for I Myself will make sure that you receive the information; and anyone who hears it should take it seriously and regard it as evidence of My love that I Myself want to save his soul and therefore speak to him. I know who receives My Word and I admonish all of them to ponder it in their hearts and to do everything so that they will not suddenly and unexpectedly be met by what is to come and, indeed, must come on account of the many people who live in a deaf and blind state. Then you, who accept and believe My Words, will be able to contribute much towards clarifying the situation by informing your fellow human beings that you have long since known about it already through My Word .... Then you will also be able to announce to them that the final end will just as certainly follow not long afterwards. For in My love and mercy I still want to give all people a last reprieve during which time they can make up for what they had previously failed to do, and therefore they will still provide them with the evidence of the credibility of all proclamations which I send to you humans in such a natural way that you can just as easily be inclined to doubt them .... That which is decided in My plan will irrevocably come true .... But My plan is well thought through in all wisdom and therefore will not be overturned or changed, neither in its form nor its time .... For this reason you can accept My Word as irrevocable and thus live your life accordingly, and you will not need to regret it, for the acquisition of earthly possessions will prove to be utterly pointless, since everything will be taken away from you. However, all of you will be able to acquire spiritual possessions if you seriously want them. Listen to My Word and believe the truthfulness of the One Who conveys it to you .... And then consider how seriously you will still have to work at improving yourselves in order to exist before Me when your hour has come that I will recall you from the world .... And not one of you knows when this hour will come, but for all of you it is closer than you think. This is why My love calls to you time and again: Prepare yourselves and only place importance upon that which serves your spiritual development .... Everything else is unimportant and will continue to become even less important the closer you are to the end .... But the fact that the end will come is certainly true and, therefore, you should not doubt but believe ....

Amen

Announcement of the end .... 'You only have little time left ....'

B.D. 4457 from October 11th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You don't have much time left and seriously ought to prepare yourselves for the day when an act of destruction will happen the likes of which has never been experienced before. And although I keep announcing it, you nevertheless doubt My Words and are therefore slow in your work of improving your soul. And you only have a little time left .... But I cannot make you aware of it by any other means than through My Word; if you don't believe it you will be shocked when the last signs start to appear. Although shortly before I will indeed warn you once again, yet even these Words will not be believed by you anymore than the previous announcements because you will be incensed by My forbearance and can't understand that I Am waiting for the sake of the souls yet to be saved, even though the time has long been fulfilled. Some can still be saved, I want to spare them the infinitely long path of a re-embodiment on the new earth and Am therefore patient and wait. However, even the final extension of time will come to an end, therefore take My Words seriously that you only have a little time left and that you will regret every day you have not used correctly for your soul.

And world events will change surprisingly quickly, just a few days will suffice in order to place you into a completely new situation. And then you ought to remember My Words and consider spiritual issues as being more important than earthly ones, for worrying about the latter is irrelevant since you cannot keep anything for yourselves if I won't retain it for you, and that it is up to My will and My might to physically protect and take care of you. Always consider your soul, be helpful and generous when you come across adversity, and enter into heart-felt contact with Me so that you will receive the strength to endure and to do justice to all requirements of life. Constantly draw strength from My Word, for it is a source of strength which can refresh you and which will never run dry. Be always ready for Me and I will not abandon you, regardless of what happens to you ....

Amen
