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.

Divine revelations oblige .... near end ....

B.D. 4943 from July 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

To be taught the truth by Me is a gift of grace which also obliges. Anyone who is richly blessed by Me should give away of his possessions to his neighbour, otherwise he is not worthy of My love and grace. And anyone who is showered with My grace is always willing to share himself and make his fellow human beings happy, just as he himself is happy. Whoever receives My gift of grace also stands in love and passes on what he receives. From this it follows that when I reveal Myself .... for My revelations are extraordinary gifts of grace .... I also want them to be spread because they are of immense value for the soul's development. Understand, you humans, that My word is the surest means for you to achieve your aim on earth of becoming perfect. Thus My word must not be disregarded, the living water must not dry up in the sand but a riverbed must be created for it, it must continue to flow so that many can refresh themselves with the water of life which flows from the fountainhead of My love. When I reveal Myself to a person it means that I give him proof of My existence and My bond with the person who longs for Me in his love, I reveal Myself to him, I let him become aware of My presence, as it were, I make Myself known to him .... But anyone who has recognized Me himself also gives testimony of Me to his fellow human beings, and this is what every revelation is intended to do .... to awaken or strengthen faith in Me. And since I wrestle for the souls of all My living creations, since I want to win everyone for eternal life, all people shall also gain knowledge of Me, they shall know that the eternal deity expresses Itself to every person, because all are children of Its eternal love. Therefore, every revelation on My part shall be mentioned, and fellow human beings shall believe in it or not according to their way of life, because the soul's ascent is a matter of free will .... He who receives much shall also distribute much. If the recipient of My word is now destined for a teaching activity, the measure of grace will be inexhaustible, for now he is active as a mediator between Me and people, he has a mission to fulfil, to pass on extensive knowledge, the spreading of which has now become necessary in order to reduce the great spiritual hardship. This knowledge concerns the purification of My already very educated teaching and, at the same time, the plight of people who live on this earth during the last days and are in a pitiable state due to their lack of knowledge, who, due to a way of life which contradicts My will and due to misguided thinking, are in utmost danger of being lost in the end for eternal times. By conveying the truth and through admonitions and warnings still willing people can be guided onto the right path, and this is the mission of the one who is taught by Me, who is the mediator between Me and people through the inner word. For this reason the knowledge which this mediator receives comprises for the first time the pure gospel, the unadulterated teaching of love, which I Myself, as the man Jesus, brought to people on earth in order to lead them back from the path of ruin they were walking on to the path of salvation. The gospel shall be proclaimed to people again as purely as it once came forth from Me, and therefore I must send My word from above to people again, they must receive it directly from Me, albeit conveyed through the mouth of a human being, because the presently educated teaching is used as My adversary's means and therefore causes more harm than spiritual success for the soul. I know how necessary it is to convey the pure truth to people, and I bless everyone who, in the last days before the end, as My true disciple, as an apostle of the end time, supports the spreading of the pure teaching, who wants to fight against error and lies and makes himself available to Me for this purpose. And thus the transmission of the pure gospel to earth through the inner word is a great revelation of Myself, for I Myself am the word, and whatever emanates from Me must also testify to Me as what I am. My word is recognizable to everyone who wants to recognize it .... But furthermore, the end is near .... And I want to announce this to people through seers and prophets. Therefore I need people again who, driven by My spirit, repeatedly present to their fellow human beings that the last time has come. They do not speak for themselves, they speak on My behalf, as My messengers, and this mission is also important, for people are to be disturbed from their rest and pointed to the future, which is decisive for eternity for every individual. My servants on earth will not have much success, nevertheless they shall be restlessly active and not miss any opportunity to mention My extraordinary working, My revelations. They shall make use of every day as industrious labourers in the vineyard of the lord, for time is pressing. The end is near, so near that you cannot believe it. Therefore call out to each one: Work and do while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work.

Amen

Believe the final announcements

You humans are approaching the end ....

B.D. 7935 from July 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

A period of Salvation comes to an end, for the time is fulfilled .... My plan of Salvation has been predetermined for eternity and will be carried out as decided by My love and wisdom. However, you humans cannot judge what the conclusion of an epoch of Salvation means, for you will never be able to envisage that a transformation on this earth will take place which will destroy all creatures, in which all living beings, all life, will be dissolved and wiped out .... As no parallel has ever been experienced by humanity before, it does not believe that the earth is approaching its end. You humans are facing inconceivable happenings but you will not attach the right significance to any of them since you are ignorant of the seriousness of your situation .... You are approaching the end .... What you see around yourselves, what exists and can be perceived by you, will cease to exist .... Everything will be destroyed, and even you yourselves will fall prey to this destruction if you do not belong to My Own, whom My power and My will shall lead away, as I have proclaimed .... whom I will lift up to heaven before the eyes of their fellow human beings because they belong to Me and I can and want to transfer them to the new earth once the work of transformation has taken place. The time is fulfilled .... For the duration of every period of Salvation is limited, even if it is so infinitely long that you humans no longer know its beginning and thus also deem an end impossible .... The fact that you now have to experience this end is only based on your own will, on your soul's past and present opposition towards Me, otherwise it would be unable to go astray, that is, it would not have to fear the banishment into matter, into the creations of the new earth.

Only your resistance determines your destiny, your fate after the end of this earth, for as soon as you abandon it you will turn to Me and then you will also belong to My Own, whom I want to save before the end arrives. Everything related to an 'end of the old earth' is incomprehensible to those of you who have no spiritual bond whatsoever, and you will never believe that the time has come when every individual person has to make a decision for life or death .... You will have to make the decision; no-one can be spared from it. And you should not assume that you are safe, that the end of this 'creation work earth' is yet to take a long time .... The end will come sooner than you think .... precisely because the time is fulfilled. And I Myself Am steadfast in My Nature, I Am steadfast in My reign and activity, and I Am steadfast in My Word. And so, what I have told you must also come to pass, that My plan will be implemented when the time has come .... And the fact that it has come can be seen by the many signs which I brought to your attention, which I pointed out every time I mentioned the end of this earth .... He who has ears to hear, let him hear .... He who has eyes to see, let him see .... But you humans do not want to hear and see. And thus I cannot reveal Myself more plainly in order to compel you into believing. But My warnings will not stop until the day has come. And blessed are those who believe My Word, who live their life in accordance with this belief and unite themselves with Me in love and trust .... For they will be saved for time and eternity, I will take care of them in every earthly and spiritual adversity, and never again will they have to fear an end because I will remove them before the hour of horror and will indeed allow them to observe the process of destruction, but only in order to let them recognise My might and magnificence and to testify to them on the new earth, where all suffering will be over and where they will be allowed to experience the happiness of paradise. The time is fulfilled, and it will come to pass as it has been proclaimed, for My Word is and forever will remain truth ....

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

Announcement of the end ....

B.D. 4552 from January 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You must prepare yourselves for the end. I constantly send this admonition to you; time is rushing by without you becoming aware of this time in all seriousness. Anyone who has My word is certainly focused on it, but you also still pay attention to the world because you stand in the midst of it. But if you knew how close you are to the end then the world would no longer entice you because you expect something better after the end of this earth. And you can believe that there is not much time left because My word is coming true. I do not speak in vain through My servants on earth, and I do not let them speak anything that is against My will if they speak for Me, if they are active for My kingdom and for My teaching, if they stand up for My word from above. If I want the truth to be spread and thus convey truthful knowledge to earth, I will not tolerate the spreading of error through the same mouth which also endangers the pure truth. And therefore I keep telling you again and again: You can believe it that the end is near .... Your soul will sense it by feeling differently, by being sad where the world's joys are offered to people, by being anxious where the world looks to the future with hope. Your soul feels correctly because it senses the end, it senses the intensified struggle in the spiritual kingdom which also oppresses and frightens itself, and it will not be satisfied with earthly joys and earthly goods because it recognizes their worthlessness in view of the end. Pay attention to this inner voice, let your soul instruct you, i.e., pay attention to your feelings, and prepare yourselves for the fact that a sudden change will come, that the worldly peace will be disturbed and a fire will start to flare up which will usher in the end. Listen to what I tell you and believe that every day will bring you closer to the event which I keep announcing ....

Amen

What will happen? God’s intervention through natural events

Necessity of divine intervention ....

B.D. 1088 from September 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 20

All the world will be informed and all the world will feel the hand of the lord, for it is His will that a change should take place and that humanity should turn more towards the spiritual and not completely fall flat in the age of materialism. And anyone who pays attention to the things which are to bring about this change will also regocnize how infinitely necessary the intervention of the eternal deity is .... he will have to admit that only a violent intervention can still bring about a transformation of humanity and that the time for this has also come, for no matter how sorrowfully the events on earth burden people, they will not find their way back to a deep faith in their creator and saviour through them either, for they are secularized to the utmost. A small circle may well feel the hand of the lord and find their way back to Him, yet this does not remedy the general spiritual state, on the contrary, they increasingly deny a deity Who guides and directs everything on earth. And all efforts to spare people the most painful events are in vain .... And so the earth will open up and humanity will be shaken and wobbled elsewhere .... and the father in heaven will stretch out His hand towards His children so that they may seize him who regocnizes Him in deepest adversity, and people's suffering will exceed everything that has happened so far .... for previously people themselves were the originators of their tribulations and were also able to remove them themselves, but here even the most powerful person on earth will be powerless, every person will regocnize his powerlessness in the face of this event and only one path will remain for him to save himself .... the supplication to God .... And all stubbornness and self-importance will be an obstacle to this path .... Only he who small and humbly desires help will find fulfilment, but often only in a spiritual way. But man's life on earth is not the epitome of bliss .... Whoever loses this life and gains his eternal life has sacrificed far less than he receives .... And God's judgement is infinitely wise and just .... It is not anger or revenge that causes Him to intervene but His infinite love and mercy, for He regocnizes best the unspeakable danger and adversity that spiritually threatens man and must be averted in time. And you should neither quarrel nor be angry if you want to make use of God's goodness. Trustingly take refuge under His protection and not a hair on your head will be harmed in this time of adversity. And when the night descends upon you in an oppressive manner, know that you are close to it and pray that the lord will spare you, and He will stand by His own and avert the calamity .... And submit yourselves to His will, for He truly knows better what is good for each one of you, and so let Him rule Who loves His living creations on earth with all His heart .... And everything He allows to happen on earth only has its explanation in this love .... He wants to save the souls standing on the edge of the abyss from eternal ruin ....

Amen

Natural disaster before the end ....

B.D. 7151 from June 22nd 1958, taken from Book No. 76

The earth will be shaken in its very foundations, because people shall be very clearly reminded of the end just once more, so that the thought of death will arise in them when they see themselves at the mercy of forces over which they have no control. Many people will in fact wonder how these earthly tremors came about but the rapidly succeeding events will not give them time for an answer .... For then detonations of huge proportions in different areas of the world will follow which make people incapable of thought, these will then be accompanied by a raging of the natural elements with inconceivable consequences, the extent of which can only be assessed by the survivors after the event. They will be inclined to believe that people's scientific experiments had been the cause of this incredibly enormous work of destruction. However, they will be mistaken .... It is My voice which will and must resound forcefully, because people no longer listen to My gentle voice, and for their own sake a last rescue mission before the shortly ensuing end is still needed. Countless people will thus lose their lives, good and evil people will fall prey to the work of destruction but it can still be beneficial for the survivors if they learn their lessons from it, if they learn to recognise Me and henceforth walk their path together with Me .... I have long announced this event in advance yet meet with little belief, because people are unable to imagine a natural disaster on such a huge scale and because nothing of the kind has ever been experienced since the start of this earthly period .... Yet it has always been mentioned, and if people only had a shred of belief in My Word they would also expect one day what was announced to them a long time before. In the last days, however, all faith has vanished and even My Own find it difficult to take these proclamations seriously although they are willing and always united with Me by love.

However, suddenly and unexpectedly the first signs will become apparent, cosmic changes will manifest themselves and everything seems to leave its lawful order; strange observations will be made regarding the movements of the stars and for short periods of time alarming eclipses occur, but time and again an apparent period of calm will follow until the elements of nature are so suddenly and dreadfully unleashed that no-one will have time for considerations, and then the only help available will be to mentally call upon Me for protection in greatest peril and danger .... All people who had previously accepted the information .... even if it didn't seem credible to them .... will be greatly blessed because they will know about this only way and need only call upon Me in spirit and in truth. But many of them will be incapable of thought and I can only advise them to turn to Me beforehand already by appealing to Me for protection .... and I will accept this request, because it also demonstrates their faith in Me which I then clearly want to strengthen .... How the event will come to pass need not be explained to you humans since it would not benefit you; but you can believe the fact that it will happen and that it will exceed the hardship and misery which has occurred until now. And you can also inform your fellow human beings of it with inner conviction, for it can only be a blessing to know that everything is predetermined by your God and Creator, however, not in order to cause you harm but only to help your souls which are in extreme danger of going astray. For soon afterwards the end of this earth will occur, however, this will not be precipitated by Me but caused by human will which I nevertheless won't prevent from accomplishing all-destructive experiments, because the time has come for the unspiritual human race when a separation of the spirits will have to take place .... because all that which had left the divine order shall be led into order again, so that the faltered higher development can continue to progress on a new earth, which My love, wisdom and might will let arise again corresponding to My eternal plan of Salvation ....

Amen

Natural event and chaos ....

B.D. 7643 from July 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

There will be unprecedented chaos after My intervention during which you will have to prove yourselves. Yet regardless of what will happen, you can always count on My help. Life will be bearable for you if you live it with Me, if you keep hold of My hand and walk every step with Me .... But the fact that there will be chaos is certain, even if it seems incredible to you at this moment in time, even if you cannot imagine its nature and magnitude. For it is the time of the end, it is My very last wake-up call, you will still have to experience the final great upheaval so that those of you humans who still walk different paths take the path to Me .... so that you still make good use of the short time which will then still be granted to you before the end. The chaos after My intervention through natural forces will be indescribable and you will need much strength in order to persevere. However, you can always appeal to Me for this strength, you can make sure to receive it through kind-hearted activity, you will never be helplessly left to your fate if only you are willing to help your fellow human beings and ask for My help to do so. I let this natural disaster befall you for the sake of your spiritual hardship, it is intended to make you think about the value of earthly life if it is lived in a purely worldly way.

For you will lose all possessions, you will be forced into situations in which you will need a lot of help and will only be able to find this help with Me, for earthly assistance will be impossible. But I can and will help you as soon as you call upon Me in spirit and in truth, as soon as you merely send sincerely pleading thoughts up to Me to take care of you in your adversity. And the less selfish your prayers are the more you will experience My help. And then I will expect of My Own to speak on My behalf and also to refer their fellow human beings to Me, to try and strengthen their faith in My infinite Fatherly love and thus to work for Me and My kingdom, for then they will find receptive ears and hearts, although the majority of people will not listen to them .... But it is necessary to still win the few people for whose sake I let the disaster come upon earth. For every single soul is important to Me, I don't want a single soul to go astray if it can still be saved, and I will also enable My servants to speak fluently so that they can be successful labourers in My vineyard. You must all gather much strength in advance because the hardship will be severe, but I assure you that you will be able to prevail if only you hold on to Me, and I will imbue every person with strength who thinks of Me in hours of greatest adversity .... With faith and trust in My help you will all be strong and conquer all earthly adversity. For you should only take the path to Me .... That is the sole purpose of My intervention, so that you do not go astray again for an infinitely long time when the end has come ....

Amen

Faith and trust .... happenings .... natural force and essence ....

B.D. 1780 from January 19th 1941, taken from Book No. 27

In a general state of helplessness, it will become apparent how much calmer those people remain in whose hearts deep faith and trust in God is rooted. Where all help seems impossible, they still hope in the help of the lord. And God will never let this hope go to waste. He sends them His help, even if it is not recognizable as such on earth. But He never leaves such asking and trusting people in the distress of their souls. Even if they see the approaching end coming, then He suddenly gives them the inner realization that their earthly career has ended and that they are now exchanging earthly life for a far more beautiful life, so that they therefore gladly and joyfully give up earthly life and no longer ask for its preservation. They now realize that they are fulfilling a mission, that their earthly departure is intended to help other souls to ascend again, and their knowledge of God lets them make the sacrifice with a light heart, but it only appears as a sacrifice to their fellow human beings. Faith and trust make even the most difficult hour easy; always entrusting oneself to God with faith, letting the heavenly father rule at His discretion and expecting everything to come without fear gives the greatest strength. And humanity will need this strength in the coming time, life will be almost unbearable for people who lack faith and therefore also strength. A supernatural activity will be recognized, for earthly power cannot change the disaster that will befall people. However, humanity is reluctant to turn to a supernatural being in prayer and devotion and yet it is the only way to improve the difficult situation. And the earthly burdens will virtually admonish us to pray, and good for the one who does not close his mind to this admonition and finds the path to God by taking refuge in Him. But humanity is very arrogant and even in the face of severe suffering it does not want to bow down. It has no faith in an ever-helpful being and therefore does not call upon this being either. And so the human being sees himself as a creature who has no one more powerful than himself, and a completely wrong direction of thought is built on this wrong basic idea. A calculation can never be correct if a mistake is made right at the beginning. But God still wants to guide this wrong thinking correctly, He wants to make people aware of Himself, He only wants them to believe in Him, to recognize Him as the most powerful spirit of heaven and earth .... And He therefore proves His power to them .... He draws the world's attention to an extraordinary event, which in turn can only be explained by God's omnipotence. He throws the forces of nature into turmoil, the lawgiver from eternity overturns certain laws of nature, He expresses Himself to a certain extent through natural forces, but He wants to be recognized and understood as an entity, i.e. to be called upon by people in prayer, because this call of God testifies to faith. Prayer will not be used all too often, for people certainly want to accept a natural power but never believe that a supremely perfect being could make contact with earthly creatures, and therefore they do not use prayer either despite constant inner indications. And now they are in twofold danger of having to lose earthly as well as spiritual life, for anyone who lacks faith in the power and strength of prayer cannot be granted spiritual or physical help, his soul is in a pitiful situation if he loses earthly life and enters the beyond without any faith. For the soul will be just as dismissive of the teachings in the beyond, for the realization of the eternal deity cannot be made accessible to it in any other way than on earth, it will have to bear unspeakable suffering in the beyond and only then will this be taken away from it if it accepts the divine teaching which it rejected on earth .... It will be an infinitely long path it will have to travel in the beyond until it achieves what it could easily achieve on earth, until it longs for God and expresses its will to subordinate itself to the divine will through its desire .... until it is allowed to approach Him in deepest humility, to Whom it was arrogant ....

Amen

Time of need after the disaster

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

Need of the last time .... many will still be recalled ....

B.D. 5126 from May 7th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

You only have a short time left for salvation, and if you do not make full use of it, you will be destined for a dreadful fate .... But I take care of the weak and undecided and help them to escape this adversity. Many souls will still leave their bodies before the last end comes because they would be incapable of offering resistance in the last battle of faith and yet shall not sink into the abyss either, i.e. they shall not belong to those who offer Me harsh resistance. I will still undertake a great cleansing action beforehand where many more souls will be purified or rendered harmless for further activity in order to prevent their complete apostasy, because I recognize their state of soul and do not spoil what is still suitable for improvement in the beyond. The time is only short and will be very difficult for all people except those who have devoted themselves to My adversary and are earthly supported by him in every way because they sold their souls to him. Yet I point out this time of adversity to you, and when it comes you should remember these announcements and draw strength and courage from them, because at the same time I also promise you safe protection and salvation who want to belong to Me. People can only kill your body, they can only harm you earthly but they cannot harm your soul, and if I also promise you protection for your bodily life, if I assure you of My help in every adversity, then you can expect what is coming without worry, you can let all events approach you with firm confidence .... I will always find a way out, even if no earthly help seems possible. For I am the lord over life and death, I am the lord over creation and over the kingdom of light and also of darkness .... Nothing can happen without My will and My permission; but what happens is only for your and your fellow human beings' salvation. It is still quiet and you humans don't believe that you are facing great events; you humans don't want to believe that completely different living conditions will arise and that you will have to muster much strength and trust in order to meet all demands made on you by hostile forces on My part. But it will come to pass as it is written .... The great tribulation will pass over the earth and you will realize that you live in the end time where you will have to prove yourselves. But you will always find one Who is willing to help you. And if you believe in this one and appeal to Him with a childlike heart you will emerge from every danger unscathed, for I will come when the adversity is greatest and save you .... And all adversity will come to an end, for now the final separation of spirits will take place. And thus you will no longer be able to be afflicted and live a blissful life in paradise on the new earth ....

Amen

Purpose of need: Bonding with God ....

B.D. 7968 from August 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You will be guided through all hardship and visibly experience My love and care. Yet hardship is indispensable and you are approaching a time which will be difficult for everyone who does not devote himself to Me with complete faith, who does not entrust himself to Me and appeal for My help. Yet My own will not feel this time of adversity so much because I take care of them .... And again and again I announce the adversity to you, for it is therefore inevitable because I want to offer you another opportunity where you can turn to Me and call upon Me, for this bond with Me is your salvation; both earthly as well as spiritually it will only be a blessing for you if you remember your God and creator and try to approach Him. As long as you walk alone, without Me, on this earth, every day is useless for your salvation of soul, for your spiritual development .... You will not take a single step forward, and your earthly life may have been an idle run for you if you don't enter into a bond with Me before your death and then your soul will be saved from darkness when you lose your physical life and enter the kingdom of the beyond. And there are only a few who find their way to Me even in a time of good living conditions .... Only a great adversity can bring it about that people remember Me and call to Me .... And this adversity comes for the sake of it, after all, it is far more bearable than the great spiritual adversity which awaits those who do not find their way to Me. But My own can confidently look forward to the coming time, for the bond with Me will lift them above all difficulties, and every thought they turn to Me will give them strength, and they will also work for Me by trying to point their fellow human beings to the saviour and helper from every adversity .... Who lets suffering come upon you humans, Who can truly also turn it away from you .... But you must confess Him .... you must always know that every turn towards Me is a turning away from My adversary .... And this is the only thing I want to achieve, and thus if adversity drives you towards Me then it was truly a blessing for you, for then you will also be released from the enemy of your souls who will bring far greater adversity upon you if you don't detach yourselves from him. And detachment from him can only be possible by turning to Me, because your will alone is decisive as to who may now take possession of you. But I can help you out of every adversity and visibly grant you My help .... Therefore nevertheless believe in a God of love, even if this God allows suffering and adversity .... For I am only ever concerned about your salvation, about the life of the soul which lasts forever and does not end with the death of the body. And so that the soul does not need to suffer in eternity it must sometimes bear increased suffering on earth but it will always be a blessing for it if it contributes towards entering into a bond with Me, its God and creator of eternity. I want to win you as long as you still live on earth, and I also have to use means which seem cruel and unkind to you but which only ever aim for your salvation, your bliss in the spiritual kingdom .... Just always trustingly pray to Me and truly, you will be guided through all adversities of body and soul, you will feel that your father cares for you, that He will give you what you need earthly and spiritually and that you will also recognize His presence in every event .... For I will always be with My own, with those who turn their thoughts towards Me, who remain united with Me in love and prayer ....

Amen

Antichrist and religious struggle

The Antichrist's influence before the end ....

B.D. 5606 from February 19th 1953, taken from Book No. 61

The influence of the Antichrist will also hasten the end, for then the hardship of My Own will reach its highest peak and necessitates My coming in order to put an end to this adversity. My adversary's only objective is to dethrone Me and put himself onto the throne, that is, to completely destroy people's faith in a God and Creator of eternity in order to be esteemed higher himself, in order to be venerated and feared like God .... He does not want to own people's love, only their submission, he wants to control everything and thus be supreme ruler. As long as people still have faith, as long as they acknowledge a Power above themselves to Which they will have to give account one day they will not yield to the one who demands something from them that is God-opposing .... And therefore the adversary will proceed against this Power by trying to eradicate the belief in Me, and this by brutal means which will make it difficult for My Own to remain faithful to Me .... Yet the strength to persevere will be provided to them by Me in abundance. I will so visibly reveal Myself to them that their faith will become increasingly stronger, that they will accept all detriment in the realisation that I alone can give and take and will truly repay what is inflicted upon them on earth.

The Antichrist's endeavour is to stamp out the Christian teaching .... to prevent all knowledge about Jesus Christ as Son of God and Redeemer of the world .... He openly declares war on Me .... And that is his end .... My adversary will embody himself in a person who is totally enslaved by him, i.e., he completely owns his soul and at first deceives people with all kinds of proceedings and favours which will guarantee him the support of large crowds .... And his speeches and activities will be a mask which conceals the most evil frame of mind .... He will be a master in knowing how to hide arrogance, lies and greed for profit, yet his lack of love will soon expose him, that is, only in the eyes of My Own, for towards his followers he feigns sympathy for all suffering which he, however, does not try to alleviate but only contributes towards increasing these afflictions. The believer will recognise him, for he badly has to suffer under his rule, yet anyone who complies with him, who openly renounces Me, will be treated by him like a friend and be worldly honoured and respected. And so there will soon emerge two parties .... the majority will follow him and only a small flock will remain faithful to Me in their attitude and actions. And these will constantly be at risk, because My adversary urges people to cause them harm wherever possible. The Antichrist will reward such actions against My Own in order to even make the last believers, who still offer resistance to him, desert Me.

This will be the start of a time of bitter distress for My Own and yet it will be bearable because they will be allowed to receive an exceptional gift of grace .... because I will show Myself where people are in danger of weakening .... I know each individual person's will and attitude towards Me, and I will truly not let My adversary gain the upper hand over his soul. Besides, the end is near and My believers are faithfully devoted to Me in their hearts, therefore I can show Myself to them beyond the law in order to grant them strength. And many people will get to see Me, and then no power on earth will be able to destroy their faith in Me .... Then they will also joyfully give up their life if I require it. But I will put an end to My adversary's cruel game .... When he believes himself to have won I will come in the clouds and judge the living and the dead .... I will fetch My Own before I accomplish the act of destruction of the earth and all its inhabitants. Prior to this the adversity will be immense, yet My love will save you and My might will place into chains the one who opposes Me, because his time is complete ....

Amen

Obedience to the worldly authorities ....

B.D. 3218 from August 12th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

Whatever is demanded of you, you will be able to fulfil it if you entrust yourselves to God's guidance and only let Him rule. For whatever He allows will be a blessing for you as soon as you regard it as God's permission and tackle everything in God's name. And therefore you need not fear any measures, for they will only affect you if it is God's will, you will be in God's constant care, for His will determines your course of life and nothing can come upon you against His will. Just strive to strengthen your faith, to recognize the heavenly father's activity in everything that concerns you and to always submit yourselves to Him .... Always observe His word and live according to it, and always and constantly ask for strength of faith .... Do not fall away from God when trials come upon you which threaten to shake your faith .... He will truly not abandon you if you do not leave Him, and He will always reveal Himself to you if you are in distress of soul, and He will also help you in earthly adversity. He looks after you in all situations of life, even if it seems as if you are dependent on yourselves. For your call always draws Him close to you, He hears every sigh and every silent prayer you send to Him, and He fulfils it as it is good for you. And the more firmly you believe that God is love, the more trustingly you will place yourselves and your life into His hands and the more reassured you can go through earthly life. You certainly have to expect great changes which extend to your usual life, yet none comes upon you without God's permission, and thus you must always regard yourselves as guided by Him if you have to carry out something by force which does not suit you. No-one has more power over you than God if you trustingly hand yourselves over to Him, and this confidence must make everything easier for you to bear, for you are never alone if you call upon God for strength and grace. And then you will be able to master everything that is demanded of you ....

And do not shrink from it if you are commanded to take part in the battle which means destruction, for you must submit to the laws of the worldly authorities. But your thinking, your inner attitude, is decisive as to how God views your actions. The will to act rightly before God evaluates all your thoughts and actions. If you are forced by the world to act contrary to God's will, then the world is also responsible for these actions. But you should strive for righteousness, you should give account to yourselves about your thinking, to what extent it corresponds to the commandments of God. You should comply with the demands of the authorities as soon as your freedom of action is taken away from you. For any opposition to the authority of the authorities is unwise and not wanted by God. And therefore you must be obedient, whatever is demanded of you, as long as it concerns earthly conduct, as long as the gagging of the spirit is not the basis of the demands, for you alone are responsible for your soul, thus your thinking must also remain pure and unadulterated, even though you will be forced into actions which God can never approve of because they contradict the commandment of neighbourly love. But always ask for strength, ask for the prevention of what is detestable to you, and God will help you in every adversity and danger to body and soul ....

Amen

Battle of faith - Antichrist ....

B.D. 6758 from February 10th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

The closer the end, the fiercer will the battle between light and darkness rage .... However, you will not experience the full horror of the battle until it turns against My followers, when it is planned to banish the faith in Me in Jesus Christ, when the act of Salvation will become My adversary's target .... when people will be demanded to openly confess their faith and brutally forced to renounce it. Only then will the hardship and adversity start, the time I have promised My Own I will shorten .... And then My adversary's fury will become obvious, for people will lose their inhibitions, nothing will hold them back because they will be incited by Satan and shall completely submit to his will. Let it be said that there is not much time until this battle of faith, but that it will be preceded by an immense crisis on earth which, however, will come from a different source .... It is My will that it shall fall upon people so that they can already prove or even strengthen their faith. Precisely this crisis, which will be inflicted on humanity through a natural disaster of huge proportions, will be used by many people as a reason to already take action against the faith, because now more than ever they will doubt a God and Creator Who Himself destroys what He has created. However, anyone who knows the truth will also have a correct explanation for everything, and then he can inform his fellow human beings of this truth too. Then the ensuing battle of faith can even result in a strong faith in them, which subsequently will withstand all the threats the believers will be exposed to.

However, the fact that most people will no longer have a living faith is My adversary's doing, who therefore will not cease to work against Me and the truth, and he will be far more successful with people than the representatives of the pure truth, the true representatives of Christ's teaching .... For they rarely will be believed, but My adversary can offer people what he wants .... it will be accepted. And that is why it will already have to be clarified in advance, everyone will have to openly and freely declare whether they are for or against Me .... Everyone will have to make this decision within himself during the coming time of need which comes upon earth due to My will, for when I speak through the forces of nature everyone will have to choose: to call upon Me for help or to entirely isolate himself from Me .... which is the same as turning to My adversary .... Following this, however, the decision has to be taken again publicly: when it will be demanded of you humans in the last battle of faith on this earth to testify of Me in Jesus Christ or to deny Me .... But then you, who were instructed in the truth by Me Myself, will know that the end has come .... Then you will know that I will shorten the days for the sake of My Own, that I will come Myself to help them and release them from their suffering .... that I will gather them from this earth and take them to a place of peace, before I carry out the work of destruction, which will mean the end of all created beings on this earth ....

If only you would believe what I have announced to you time and again .... the conditions on earth should prove My adversary's rage to you already, because he knows that he is running out of time. And the fact that he is raging and the earth is populated by his own kind can be recognised by all of you and should make you think. Every day is still a blessing for people, for even the most depraved person still has the opportunity to change and gain faith in Me before the end .... because I will try everything to still snatch souls from My adversary before the end. And anyone with faith in Me will be blessed, but the unbelievers will have to share the fate of him whom they followed voluntarily .... And you will not go short, even if everything you need to live will be taken away from you .... As soon as you believe that I Myself will take care of you, who are persecuted for My name's sake, My adversary's measures need not frighten you .... For what they take away from you, you will receive from Me again, although in a different form, but you will not need to starve for I Myself will satisfy your hunger .... For 'behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them ....

Remember these Words, remember that He Who created everything will truly also be able to maintain what He has created .... and that He will surely do so when His Own suffer adversity. But the time will come when people will try to force you with most brutal measures to forsake your faith .... and anyone of weak faith will not be able to endure these measures .... Severe tests of faith will be imposed on you, but I want to prepare you precisely for this time, then you will be able to be a shining example to your fellow human beings, you will be able to demonstrate to them what a firm faith can accomplish: that you live despite the fact that everything you need to live will have been taken away from you ....

Seek always only the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything else will be added to you. And this promise will then be visibly fulfilled on My Own, on those who stand up for Me and My name before the world, who do not fear the earthly power because they feel safe under My protection. And only then will it become evident who has a living faith, and there will only be few. Then the structures which were built on sand .... which were not built on the rock of faith on which I built My church, will collapse too .... It will be a difficult time which no-one would be able to survive had I not conveyed the truth to earth in advance, which is an explanation of everything and which alone can result in a strong faith .... But error will not give anyone the strength to persevere, and only where there is love, can strength of faith also be found.

An extraordinary person will offer himself as a visible cover to My adversary, and this person will then instigate the last conflict on earth. Pay attention to this and you will know that the hour of the end is very near .... But also pay attention to My messengers from above who will appear at the same time in order to guide you with their light, which you should follow .... Pay attention to all of those who spiritedly announce My Word and join them, so that the small flock will stay together, so that they can constantly get light and their faith can steadily grow stronger .... But to all these I promise My protection, My Fatherly care and My blessing ....

They need not fear to fall prey to this brutal power, for I Myself will come to get them as soon as My adversary goes too far, as soon as even My Own are threatened by grave danger .... For this reason I will shorten the days, so that My Own will be able to endure and not weaken in view of the measures of persecution. But since I can still see a possibility to save individual souls I will also hold My hands protectively over those who represent Me before the world, so that the former can gain strength from them, so that a Power will be recognised which is stronger than earthly power .... And therefore I will also take extraordinary care of My Own, and despite adverse measures they will survive physically and spiritually .... And all this will happen soon .... What you cannot suspect today will happen then, but that is why already I draw your attention to it, and you, who are taught by Me, also know why it will happen ....

The spiritual hardship on earth is evident to you as well, and by the signs of the time you will be able to identify the time on the world's clock .... But once this battle of faith flares up you need only expect a very short time, because everything will take place especially fast .... For the man chosen by My adversary as cover will not have a long life-span, and his regime on earth will not last long. He will be recognisable by his supernatural abilities, for he will be exceptionally endowed by My adversary, and that is why he will work for him and his plans. And even if the whole world pays homage to him, you will recognise and see through him.

But then you will have to be very careful and should not deliberately endanger yourselves due to excessive zeal .... Then you will have to be as cunning as serpents and as gentle as doves .... But when the decision is demanded of you, then you must stand your ground and firmly trust in Me and My help .... for no matter how powerful people are, they cannot match My might and a wisp of breath from Me would suffice to destroy them .... And thus I will also call a stop to it when the hour has come. I will bring those to Me who are in utmost earthly distress but place the oppressors themselves into chains, for the time will be up, a period of redemption will come to an end and a new era will start so that the deliverance of all spirits can continue ....

Amen

Final decision in the battle of faith ....

B.D. 8699 from December 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You, who belong to My church founded by Me Myself, who stand in living faith and make an effort to lead a life in love, you will also be able to pass the last faith struggle; you will hold out until the end, because you draw power out of your walk of life, which however will be lacking to those who are only christians according to form and who certainly also can belong to a church, but who do not show the landmarks of My church: the work of the spirit in man. Because My right followers are mentally completely differently aligned like the followers of that church, who certainly also received knowledge through their education or through teachings, but who just only heard with the ears, but the heart remained untouched by it and that is why they also have taken no stand on the spiritual material offered to them. But the followers of My church are such men who live in love and through it reach a living faith, who inwardly occupy themselves with spiritual thought material and whose thoughts were just clarified through love in them, so that they move in truth and that is why also their souls will be strong and powerful when the last faith struggle is waged. Only this last faith struggle will bring the separation, only in the last faith struggle it will emerge who is alive, because the form christians will give away their faith without hesitation, because in reality they have possessed none, were only outwardly members of an organisation, but which disintegrates in itself when it will be about the last decision .... This can only ever be presented to you humans that you should seriously take a stand on the thought material which you receive in the traditional way .... you should just once seriously think about whether and what you can really believe or whether you are just followers without your own judgment .... It is important that you think about it because in the coming faith struggle it will prove, and you will quickly fall away and give up all faith in a God and creator, and that will be your ruin. But if you think about it before, then you can still search for truth; you can use other spiritual material for comparison and make some decision. Just do not go through your life completely indifferently, and seek to stimulate yourselves to love work, because the more you ignite love in you, the sooner you come to the recognition, why you walk over earth. You will always have opportunities to carry out works of love, and do you always comply with your inner urge, do you listen to the voice of conscience in you, then you always approach more and more the church, which I founded Myself on earth, even if you belong to an organisation founded by men, which is only then of value for you when you obey the teaching, which every church or school of thought represents: that you fulfil the love commandments first .... Then you can always feel to belong to My church, because then also soon your faith will become a living one, and your thinking will clarify itself, because then the spirit in you is awakened to life through love. Again and again I call upon you to become members of My church by attaining a living faith through love, as Peter had it .... Such faith is like a rock, it will not be able to be shaken, no matter how fierce the onslaught against it may be. It is My strength which keeps the person strong who lets faith come alive in him .... And only those will be able to stand in the faith struggle, only those will endure the tribulations and persevere until the end because they are strengthened by the power of faith and defy all attacks .... And ask yourselves once how far you would be able to withstand if the decision for or against Me were seriously demanded of you .... if you were to give up your faith in Me in Jesus and were threatened with the harshest punishments .... Then only a strong, living faith can give you the certainty that I am stronger than every earthly ruler, than every man who belongs to My adversary. Then you will fear no-one in this world and hand yourselves over to Me in complete trust, and I will protect you. I Myself will come in the clouds and take you away when the hour has come, and you will be victorious and be able to enjoy the fruits of your faith on the new earth .... For through your living faith you are so intimately united with Me that I can truly also dwell among you, because your intimate love for Me allows this .... And through your faith you will become blessed ...._>Amen

Acknowledgment of Jesus .... Final decision of faith ....

B.D. 8866 from October 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

It depends on your free decision of will as to whether the gate into the eternity of light after the death of your body will be open for you, it depends on whether you establish such a close bond with Me that you acknowledge your God and Redeemer, that you recognise Me as the Saviour from sin and death and completely hand yourselves over to Me .... and thus can no longer separate Me from Jesus, that you bring all your guilt to Me under the cross and appeal to Me for forgiveness of this guilt .... I really don't ask much of you in order to then receive you into the kingdom that is permeated by light .... I only want your acknowledgment of Jesus, who descended to earth as the Son of God and became My external shell so as to enable Me to become visible to you .... I don't ask for much and yet you find it so difficult to acquire the heavenly kingdom because you have to fight against pride, selfishness and all bad habits which are the signs that you still belong to My adversary, who transferred all these vices and bad habits onto you so that you became like-minded and distanced yourselves from Me abysmally. And for the most part these bad habits still exist in you when you live as a human being on earth, but with the help of Jesus you can easily discard them, for he has acquired a stronger will on your behalf, thus it is not impossible for you to free yourselves from these bad habits.

But then again it depends on to whom you grant your will, and this alone shall determine your fate in eternity. The knowledge about the Salvation through Jesus Christ is only very weak these days, only a few believe in the act of Salvation and completely hand themselves over to Me in Him, who make use of the blessings acquired on the cross and want to liberate themselves from all guilt .... But they are certain to find redemption and will be able to enter in brightly radiating light through the gates into My kingdom. Time and again I speak to people and explain to them what is most important, what they have to know .... about Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... However, the fact that most people keep their ears closed, that hardly a single spiritual Word can be spoken to them, is My adversary's doing, who in the last days will make every effort in order to still seduce those of weak faith, presenting everything to them as a myth which no-one believes anymore.

And again, I can only admonish you to establish a heartfelt bond with Me, your God and Creator, and to look for the light inside yourselves which I will kindle in every one of you if only you have the sincere desire to get to the bottom of the truth. Then you will also receive enlightenment about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and no longer be unbelievers. But try to obtain this enlightenment before the battles of faith begins, for then you will be required to make the decision for or against Me. Then you will have to stand firm and must have acquired so much knowledge about it already that you will not need to fear any contradictions, that you can stand up for Him and His act of Salvation with full conviction .... Yet this time ought to be feared by all those whose faith is still so weak that it will only take a small push to surrender it completely .... And that will be the last decision of faith which nevertheless has to be taken before the end .... And then it will become evident how many will forsake their faith and how many people will be lost and have to approach a new banishment because there is no way out anymore. Therefore I can only ever speak to, let you know in advance what fate awaits you and admonish all people to establish a more heartfelt bond with Me, who have not yet entirely abandoned Me and also know about the divine Redeemer even though they lack faith .... But it is My serious endeavour to guide them into faith, to describe the blessings of the act of Salvation to them and to admonish them to obtain a true light in regards to it, which I will gladly kindle in them so that they, too, will find redemption from sin and death ....

Amen

The last judgement and the new earth

Rapture ....

B.D. 6681 from October 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 72

Time and again you will receive clarification through My Word concerning spiritual problems which you are unable to work out by yourselves .... where My spirit has to intervene if your thinking is to be correct, thus correspond to the truth. Only truth has a beneficial effect, the soul cannot derive any advantage from misguided thinking, instead it will even thicken its surrounding layer because misguided thinking does not originate from Me but from My adversary. Yet people are not always capable of accepting the pure truth unveiled, like children they sometimes have to be taught by way of images and parables which, however, nevertheless entirely correspond to the truth. And wherever this is the case My adversary likewise seeks to intrude and distort these images and parables to prevent people from thinking correctly. And thus it necessitates enlightenment through the spirit in order to provide a correct explanation or to enable someone to understand what was offered to people in a veiled form, what seers and prophets predicted on My instructions. Humanity's spiritual state demanded such veiled portrayal, because the unveiled truth would have seemed utterly implausible to those who had not recognised people's spiritual development as their purpose on earth and therefore My written Word .... the Book of the Fathers .... would also have been completely discarded, since the events at the end, had they been portrayed unveiled, would not have found belief and thus given rise to total rejection of My Word. I have always prevented an unveiled description of the final events but always provided explanations if they were needed. But as a result there are also various opinions represented amongst people and everyone endorses his own according to his spiritual state, yet only an 'enlightened spirit' will think correctly and be able to 'unveil' the 'veiled' truth!

The end is near .... and only a few people will be able to observe the developments at the end, because they shall inform the coming human generation on the new earth of My Power and Glory, of the conclusion of the old and the beginning of a new period of Salvation. These few, however, will be lifted away by Me from earth as soon as the end has come. But when this happens much wailing and lamenting will arise on earth, for this 'process of rapture' will be seen by all people on earth and triggers .... because it is beyond natural law .... immense terror, for then the people staying behind will know that they will become victims of destruction. These people will not see My coming in the clouds because I cannot be visible to those who adhere to My adversary .... Only My Own will be able to see Me and, full of joy and praise, stretch out their arms towards Me .... And I will lift them up to Me before their fellow human beings' eyes. And just a few will cry out to Me in intense distress, not driven by fear but in sudden realisation and utter remorse .... I know them and address them time and again, they merely need a profound shock in order to surrender their resistance and hand themselves over in their hearts .... And these are the people who will 'arise from their graves' in order to also be taken away from the earth, because I know their hearts, they call upon Jesus Christ with profound faith in Him and His help and thus they will find redemption from sin and death. And the graves will still release many .... Dead people who will arise into life .... People who will be more impressed by the final events on this earth than they care to admit, where only the lid will have to be pushed aside from the grave, which will be achieved by the tremors at the end .... But what will still happens before that can yet contribute towards the awakening of dead souls, for hell will spew out its most evil demons .... And elevated beings will descend from the kingdom of light and the struggle for people's souls will be plain and observable by My Own, who will then experience the exposure of what had previously only been announced to them in a veiled form ....

Amen

And the scales will suddenly fall from the eyes of My Own, for then they will understand what hitherto had remained concealed to them but what the spiritually awakened person essentially understood. But since people are particularly strongly attached to matter in the end, the knowledge about My 'plan of Salvation' for redeeming the souls will also be little known .... And this alone is the key to all revelations which were given to people in a veiled form. People are unaware of individual periods of Salvation even if they believe in a justification, a last Judgment, and in an end of the world. And according to this knowledge they try to interpret the revelations which relate to this end. And the more intellectually they do so, the more confused become their results. My spirit, however, reveals to them in most simple terms the signs as well as the happenings at the end .... And the rapture of My Own will be the last process taking place on this earth before its destruction, before the complete change of this earth's external shape, which will wipe out all life on it. It is not as if there will still be a long time afterwards in which people can discuss this happening .... for this would undeniably signify compulsory faith for those left behind, no human being would then be able to close their mind to the realisation of a living God and be forced to believe in Him. Yet I don't use such means in order to gain this faith, consequently the end will come as soon as I fetch My Own from this earth. The horror of this will coincide with the horror of certain death facing those who are left behind, for the earth will open up and flames burst through, people will feel paralysed and incapable of thinking apart from the few which only need a small incentive to recognise Me and call upon Me in utmost need .... But they are known to Me and therefore I will have mercy upon them and their souls will not have to share the agonising fate of the others ....

Whatever will come to pass, it was only possible to give people an illustrative prediction, for they would never have understood it as long as My eternal plan of Salvation could not be explained to them. And people's low spiritual state did not allow for this .... My Word, however, has always been preached to people, and My Word urged them to be lovingly active. Complying with My Word, complying with My commandment of love would have guided you humans into realisation and thus also into the knowledge of My plan of Salvation. In that case they would have understood the symbolic descriptions, which certainly were understood by those whose life of love had resulted in spiritual enlightenment. Yet the nearer it gets to the end the more people's thinking will become confused and the more mysterious are the images which their intellect is now trying to decipher. People should only ever try to keep to what I Myself told them while I lived on earth .... They should accept My Words and live accordingly, and they would be surprised to realise that they are becoming enlightened, that they fully understand everything which so far had been ambiguous to them .... for then My spirit can work in them and kindle a bright light for them. However, anyone who believes himself capable of gaining realisation through eager studies yet neglects to live according to My will, will never attain realisation. He will lose himself in ever more erroneous thinking and no matter what he believes himself to have discovered .... he will have to discard it again and find no illumination within himself. Only My commandments of love and their fulfilment ensure your correct thinking, and in that case every Word, every prediction and every indication about the end will be understandable to you, for then you will be enlightened by My spirit, which never errs and always guides you into truth ....

Amen

Complete dissolution and remodeling of the earth ....

B.D. 4086 from July 18th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

In a very short period of time the complete dissolution of the earth will take place, for the forces which have their effect are so elemental that nothing will withstand them, that everything will be destroyed which exists on the earth's surface as well as in the earth's interior of creations of every kind. Thus it is not possible to speak of a partial dissolution but the spread of force extends over the whole earth, and thus the whole earth is a single conflagration to which everything falls victim because everything is seized by fire. And so the fire will certainly spread more slowly in individual places, according to God's wisdom, namely where the souls are still to be offered the opportunity in the last hour to call upon God for help, where people live whose mind can still be changed shortly before the end. But the earth will be completely destroyed, i.e., the core will certainly remain but the entire surface of the earth will undergo a change which is so enormous that one can speak of a passing away of all works of creation. A transformation of the old earth is also only necessary and possible when all creations of the old earth have passed away and the creations of the new earth can be formed from the remains, which are to receive the spiritual again, which is still in the midst of its development. And this spiritual will be released to its great satisfaction, for it longs for upward development in order to be able to make use of the blessings of earthly life as a human being, and it pushes towards this last embodiment. Thus the new earth will not have any old creations but they will be completely destroyed and newly formed, and the process will only last for a very short time .... In fact, the destruction will take place before people's eyes, yet in their great horror they will only pay attention to themselves, i.e., in their fear of death they will only be concerned about saving themselves, but this is impossible for them. However, the believers, whom God catches up before the complete destruction, will be able to watch the work of the ruin of the old earth, for it will take place before their eyes so that the power and glory of God will be revealed. Yet the emergence of the new earth will remain hidden from their eyes, for when they are brought to this new earth by God all creations already exist, and a diverse picture unfolds before the eyes of the believers, completely unknown creations, glorious to behold and surpassing in their usefulness everything the old earth offers in terms of creations. However, people on the new earth cannot assess the duration of the emergence of these creations, for people are deprived of any concept of time for the time of dwelling after the rapture, and they will also initially lack the concept of time on the new earth, since people already possess a high degree of maturity and this results in past, present and future only being one concept for them until people's outlook grows more material again and thus they are also subject to the law of time and space again ..... And thus the emergence of the new earth is completely hidden from people's view, yet the explanation will be given to them spiritually and they will always be able to take the most important part of the divine teaching from it, but on the other hand it will also be conveyed directly to people themselves, for God will dwell in the midst of people who love Him because they have shaped themselves into love and God Himself, as well as His angels of light, will instruct people on the new earth. And thus the original light dwells in the midst of His Own and distributes light to all who are worthy of it ....

Amen

Renewed banishment is the result of spiritual death ....

B.D. 7591 from April 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Spiritual death necessitates banishment into matter, that is: a spiritual being having succumbed to death, which remains in a lifeless state, must be engendered into hard matter again in order to slowly return to life. As long as there is still a small spark of life within the spiritual being everything will be attempted in order to guide it further towards life, and this can certainly be successful so that the being will then be spared being banished into matter, and it will nevertheless slowly come alive, if only after an infinitely long time. But there is also a possibility that the being will become completely paralysed, that it will descend ever more into the abyss .... which many souls in the beyond allow to happen .... Then the spiritual substance of this being will be dissolved and once again placed into hard matter .... into the creations on earth. And it will have to travel a tremendously painful path in order to come back to life again. And people on earth can similarly descend in their spiritual state in the last days; they can keep striving towards the abyss of their own free will, they can completely commit themselves to the lord of darkness and, as his followers, descend into utmost darkness themselves .... And then it will also be necessary to dissolve the souls into countless minute particles and to place them into the creations again, they will have to take the path of higher development through untold forms once more until they awaken to life all over again .... And this low spiritual level has occurred; during the last days spiritual death is unmistakable and everything is being done on earth as well as in the beyond in order to stimulate individual sparks of life, in order to strengthen existing life and to prevent it from falling prey to death. For it is a time of infinite torment which the spiritual being will have to endure if it is banished into matter again. And God's love and mercy also applies to what has descended to the lowest point and wants to protect it from this fate. However, where the spiritual being's free will opposes Him God's plan of Salvation has to be carried out, after which a renewed banishment into matter will be unavoidable.

Were people to have precise information about this they would truly do everything in their power in order to escape spiritual death .... But they do not accept the knowledge of it, they don't believe in a continuation of life, they don't believe in a justification before God and neither do they believe in a God and Creator Who will demand accountability from them one day .... Their 'Ego', however, cannot cease to exist anymore and its abode will be appropriate to its state, and although it will no longer be conscious of itself in a state of death it will nevertheless feel the agony of its captivity, since it was originally created as a free spiritual being. Even so, in its lifeless state it cannot be placed where life exists because it had voluntarily chosen a state of death and its will was subsequently complied with. Free will, however, is a state of beatitude and the bound state is a state of torment .... And as a human being the soul chooses its own state. And God's love and wisdom allows it to keep its freedom but helps the human being in every conceivable way to attain eternal life .... just as He will grant His help again through a banishment into matter so that what is lifeless can awaken to life again one day. And God's love applies to all once fallen spiritual beings, it also follows them into the abyss and helps them ascend again .... but it is particularly active during the time when the being has regained its self-awareness and free will .... during the time as a human being .... so that it will then change its initially still dead state into a state of life. But the human being's free will remains untouched, it will be respected, and this free will determines whether the being will lose its external form for good or whether the form will become solid again .... so that it will return into hard matter once more. Then the being will have fallen prey to spiritual death and it will take an infinitely long time until it once again receives the grace of embodiment as a human being where it can acquire life for itself ....

Amen

Harmonious life on the new earth ....

B.D. 8429 from March 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Whatever idea you might have of the new earth, the reality will far surpass your imagination, because a blessed time will dawn for My Own, for the people who will endure to the end and be taken to the new earth .... People will live together in absolute harmony and peace, surrounded by incomparable works of creation .... Even the animal world will coexist peacefully, there will be no hostility between the creatures, for their soul substances are also nearing embodiment as a human being, and all spiritual substances bound in the creations will sense the harmony surrounding them and noticeably change their resistance, which will become apparent by their willingness to be of service, because these spiritual substance, too, want to arrive at their final path on this earth quickly .... People will be able to enjoy many magnificent things, given that they are fully matured for a life of beatitude, and they would enjoy this beatitude in the kingdom of the beyond were it not for the fact that they shall continue their life on the new earth because the new human race shall arise from them ....

And once again souls will be able to incarnate who have achieved a higher degree of maturity due to the great changes, due to the exceedingly sorrowful last days and the immense destruction, who will now be far more willing to fulfil the final functions of service in the material form as a result of people's loving way of life on the new earth. Consequently, they will not be entirely without love at the beginning of their human incarnation and thus will progress faster, especially since they can not be troubled by the adversary, since their love also assures them the light beings' protection and help .... so that they will be able to easily repel the instincts and longings which still adhere to them .... For their will is directed towards Me, and thus they shall also fully consciously pass their test of will in their earthly life as a human being, because My adversary is unable to bother them and people's love establishes the bond with Me .... This privilege of an easier earthly progress for their descendants will be acquired by My Own through their successful battle before the end, which will truly necessitate a strong will and immense love for Me and which I therefore will also reward in every sense. In addition, I know when the spiritual substances in the form change their will, and accordingly I Am able to place them into external forms on the new earth again which will guarantee the spiritual substances' willingness to serve .... The situation on the new earth will be such that people will no longer be burdened by suffering and problems, so that they no longer will experience earthly or spiritual hardship, so that they will be able to enjoy the magnificent creations in perfect happiness, and that one person will love the other so much that he will want to discard everything that could burden the other .... And this love allows Me Myself to dwell among My Own, to teach them and to bring joy to them with My presence. A truly divine peace will spread across all created beings and remain for a long time, because every activity is determined by love, and thus even succeeding generations will allow Me to dwell amongst them .... and the adversary will be totally excluded .... For he cannot be where I Am present, and all people will have been redeemed in truth, for they live in the sign of the cross, they are brightly enlightened about Jesus Christ's act of Salvation and love Me in Him with a passionate heart ....

It is truly a state of paradise which certainly will last a long time, but it will not last indefinitely .... For ever more spiritual substances travelling through the creations, whose resistance has not yet been entirely broken, will attain their final embodiment, and then the longing for matter will come to the fore again and in a manner of speaking loosen My adversary's chains .... For people will desire what still belongs to him and demonstrate their adherence to him and thus will also be controlled by him again .... And then the adversary will have the right to influence the human being's will once more, and he will use it by tempting people into wrongful deeds which offend against the commandments of love and thus also distancing Me from the face of the individual who has submitted himself to My adversary ....

And so the battle between light and darkness will start again; earth will once again serve as a place to mature, for an infinite number of constrained spiritual substances will take the path of higher development and they will all be given an appointed length of time. And time and again also entirely redeemed souls will depart into the spiritual kingdom, for Jesus Christ's act of Salvation will never remain ineffective, and I, for My part, will always make sure that the knowledge of it will be conveyed to people, for Jesus Christ will always oppose the prince of darkness, and Jesus Christ will sooner or later be victorious depending on people's will, which is and will remain free and which will also achieve the last perfection in earthly life .... because one day it will submit itself to Me and completely subordinate itself to My will ....

Amen

The power of satan at the end

The adversary's activity behind a mask ....

B.D. 8433 from March 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

The adversary will fight using all means during the last days before the end .... And neither will he shy away from availing himself of My Words and portraying himself as an angel of light which intends to bring salvation to people. And in their spiritually unenlightened state people will not recognise who approaches them and takes possession of their thoughts .... They will believe blindly as long as they hear pious words which, however, can be voiced by every spirit, because they are mere words which it does not believe in itself but which it uses in order to deceive people and to lead them astray. These dark forces don't shy away from any lie and often introduce themselves to people as elevated and supreme beings of light in order to deceive them and to stifle their doubts regarding the truthfulness of their statements. And you will be surprised in which way My adversary will continue to influence people through his accomplices during the last days .... For he wants to imitate Me .... Just as I Myself convey the pure truth to earth he, too, will try to impel people to listen to him by disguising himself as an angel of light. And people's obsession with making contact with supernatural spheres, with receiving extraordinary information and thus with entering a realm which is outside of this earth often provides My adversary with the opportunity to push himself forward and to be of service to people in order to confuse their thoughts, so that they are no longer able to recognise the pure truth if it is offered to them, because they, too, want to push themselves forward and regard themselves as recipients of the truth. The adversary plays an unscrupulous game but people themselves support him, for usually it is mere curiosity rather than a genuine desire for truth which motivates them into establishing contact with this spiritual world, which emanates blatant error in order to undermine the pure truth and which does not provide people with enlightenment. Only deceptive lights keep flashing up which so dazzle the eye that it cannot recognise the pure truth anymore. However, I Myself Am unable to do anything else but to repeatedly point out his cunning and trickery to you, for you yourselves give him the reason which makes his activity possible. For as soon as you strive towards Me with profound sincerity and desire the purest truth from Me I would truly not let you fall into his hands, and you would realise brightly and clearly that you are only being deceived by evil spirits, and time and again I have revealed the attributes to you by which you can recognise them ....

Just test them concerning My 'human manifestation in Jesus Christ', ask them to explain this mystery to you and you will realise that they will fail because they are still unenlightened themselves, that they don't know anything about Him and His act of Salvation and that they only avail themselves of His name in order to deceive you, yet they don't mean the name of their God and Creator of eternity, which they cannot voice in awareness of what it signifies .... They certainly make use of Jesus' human name, because they only ever speak of a human being but not of God Himself .... And you will truly not meet many people who, as bearers of light, will be able to enlighten you about this, because they received this clarification from Me Myself. But then you will also be able to make a judgment and accept the light from them without having to fear that you will be wrongly instructed .... And you can believe that a person will not know the truth as long as this problem of My human manifestation in Jesus is still unresolved .... Anyone who does not recognise or has not recognised Him as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world in Whom I manifested Myself in order to be able to be a visible God for My created beings will never .... be it on earth or from the beyond .... be able to inform you humans truthfully, for he himself does not yet have the truth, the correct realisation, and therefore he is not a right leader and teacher for people on earth either .... However, you humans are easily inclined to accept everything you receive from the spiritual kingdom as truth, because the desire to hear something extraordinary dominates you, thus it is stronger than the desire for the pure truth .... Yet in order to entrust you with an extraordinary task, which consists of receiving the truth from Me directly and of passing it on to your fellow human beings, you still lack too many prerequisites which facilitate a transmission of the pure truth .... requirements which I cannot exclude as not to endanger the pure truth. For you still move within a world of spirits yourselves which you attract through your desire for something extraordinary and, as a result, you are not guarded against influences from My adversary's sphere .... Neither do you free yourselves from this influence: instead you place yourselves at the disposal of these forces time and again which you, however, would definitely repel through heartfelt devotion to Me in Jesus Christ, through devotion to your Father and Redeemer, Who is your refuge and protection against everything that is unspiritual and that wants to encroach upon you ....

False prophets .... end time ....

B.D. 3404 from January 14th 1945, taken from Book No. 44

Only completely immature souls make use of the strength from below and are therefore also used by the prince of the underworld for his work. No matter what God's adversary starts to fight against God he always uses willing people to carry out his will, because the power over every work of creation is withdrawn from him. And therefore he determines people to carry out his will, and they obey him because they feel connected to him through their inclinations and urges which hardly deviate from each other. Hence these are souls which are still completely materially minded, which are turned towards God's adversary and with whom he therefore has an easy game. People in whom such souls are embodied are completely under his control. But he equips them with great strength so that they can always carry out what God's adversary dictates to them. Because they have completely turned away from God they are doubly endowed with strength and therefore they are able to accomplish things which otherwise are beyond the strength of a human being. And thus signs and miracles also happen on the part of people who are hostile towards God if they are willing to let their strength have an external effect. And then these are often regarded as sent by God because of their miracles, and God warns you of these, and He has always done so by His constant reference to the false prophets in the last days, because they are a danger for those who are not yet firm in faith and who are not active in love. God has always made mention of these emissaries of satan in order to announce the power of that which he will gain over people in the last days. He warns His own not to fall into the nets of the false prophets, and He marks them out by the fact that they, too, will confess Christ .... the bringer of salvation .... yet not the redeemer of the world .... And take heed that Jesus Christ hath redeemed the world .... But the Christ, of whom the false prophets speak, shall yet come and bring salvation to men. And they shall deceive many, and shall cry unto men: Behold, here is Christ .... But do not follow them .... but know that they are emissaries of satan, whom you should flee, lest they destroy you .... And if they work miracles, pay no attention to them, for they use the power from below. And you will recognize them, for no love speaks from them, neither from their words nor from their deeds. What they do only testifies to their power but not to their love, and power is a gift of satan. And you can certainly recognize them if you always make love the guiding principle of your thoughts and actions. Then you will also notice by the miracles of the false prophets that they are not works of love but works of the one who originates from hell. If you yourselves stand in love and faith you will not be deceived, but the lukewarm are in danger who do not bear the characteristics of love. God's adversary can win them over, they will not recognize the false prophets and willingly follow wherever they are led by them, for the forces from below have power over those who are distant from God, who indeed still strive for Him according to the word but not in their heart .... And God especially warns them not to let themselves be deceived by the dazzling light of a miracle .... And He gives them a clear characteristic that love must always be recognizable where the power of God, which expresses itself through His prophets, becomes effective. And where love is not recognizable satan has his kingdom there, and this you should flee, for the forces from below will influence every immature person, i.e. every person who thinks and acts without love, and these will be servants in bondage to them who carry out what the prince of the underworld demands .... For it is the time of the end and he will use it to work against God and against everything spiritual that turns towards God until the hour has come when God will bind him and with him all people who are in bondage to him ....

Activity of demonic powers disguised as angels of light ....

B.D. 8484 from May 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 89

You shall be fighters for Me and My kingdom, and thus you will also have to stand up to My adversary's onslaught .... But you will not fight alone, you will have Me as your commander and truly, I will lead you to victory, for he will be unable to bring you down since you fight with My strength and as My messengers. My might is certainly superior, you just have to utterly and completely entrust yourselves to Me to come into full possession of strength when you need to resist him. Thus you need not be at all afraid, no matter what form his approach takes. He hides himself behind many disguises and will always try to scare My Own, but he will not succeed when I Am asked for protection.

But you should know that I do not speak with two tongues .... I will not give one person this and another person a different teaching and explanation, and thus two masters have to be at work where conflicting spiritual teachings occur .... But I know every person's heart, I know his attitude towards Me, His eternal God and Creator, and I therefore also take possession of the heart which completely entrusts itself to Me, and guide the person on all his journeys through life .... If you could see to what extent My adversary's kingdom has spread and with what weapons he fights in order to gain supreme control during the last days, it would no longer surprise you that so much wickedness reveals itself and that the dark world fights the pure truth in every possible way. I can only ever tell you to trust Me by completely handing yourselves over to Me and allowing Me to take care of you ....

And do not let satanic activities deter you .... For I will prove to you that My might is greater and will show him his limitations too when the time has come .... You should believe that there are also strong connections between the spiritual realm and earth and that the adversary is particularly busy due to disguising himself as the brightest being of light, which he is able to do because the state of each person's soul itself gives him the power for it. You don't know these demonic forces who will do anything during the last days in order to pull people into ruin .... But anyone who stays close to Me truly will not need to fear these forces .... even if they tried everything to worry the soul which is devoted to Me .... Many bad spirits are also embodied on earth during the last days who serve their master as messengers from hell and cause much spiritual harm .... They, too, are granted freedom, for they also could find salvation from an eternally long state of torment if they would accept salvation from Jesus Christ during their earthly life ....

These are demon-possessed souls whose time of embodiment as human beings has come, but who are still wholly satanically minded and do not stop their resistance, they are still totally subject to the adversary's influence and are fine accomplices to him. They believe to spread light but constantly try to extinguish it. They are in profound darkness and cannot escape from it .... and yet they have to travel their earthly path with freedom of will, which can just as well bring them salvation .... These demonic spirits will also try to mislead everyone who voluntarily belongs to Me .... But I Myself will always stand between them and you, for they don't like Me and take flight to avoid the light .... Therefore you need not fear them; nothing can harm you as long as you entrust yourselves to Me, and My increased flow of strength will enable you to fend off every onslaught. You may not be touched by them because I Myself will protect you from every harm and danger and because you work for Me and therefore can also always rely on My help ....

Amen

Exceeding the power of the opponent ....

B.D. 6754 from February 4th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

God's adversary has succeeded in creating mental confusion amongst people, that truth has been suppressed everywhere and replaced with erroneous spiritual knowledge and that people no longer know where to look for and find the truth. For everyone believes to possess it, everyone considers his own thoughts to be right and good, and yet most people are far removed from the truth. But the battle rages between light and darkness, and in the last days the darkness is so dense that hardly a ray of light can penetrate it .... But the adversary's activity is so obvious that an end will soon be put to his work, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture .... At the end of an earth period his power is always great because people themselves grant it to him, but then he abuses his power by exceeding the limits of what is granted to him by God .... He certainly has the power to influence people's will, to tempt them and urge them to make the decision he desires .... But he goes further in his activity .... He strikes people with complete blindness and deprives them of the possibility of also recognizing another lord .... He undermines all knowledge about this lord by trying to present God in Jesus Christ to them as a phantom, so that a choice, a free decision for God is almost impossible. That is why the hour has come when his further activity will be stopped, when he himself will be put in chains and he will no longer be able to oppress people on this earth. But God also seeks to convey to misguided people in every way the knowledge which His adversary wants to withhold from them .... Again and again the pure truth is offered to them but in the prevailing darkness it is only recognized with difficulty. But in order to make it possible for Him to recognize it God also works extraordinarily in the last days .... He allows things to happen which go beyond human abilities and draws attention to Himself as the author of these events .... He sends preachers amongst people who proclaim Himself and His power and glory on His behalf and do unusual things as a sign .... He evidently shows people the power of faith in His name, and people could also come to faith and pure truth as a result .... Yet even over such unusual expressions of the divine spirit veils of obscurity are let down on the part of those who should give people light but place themselves at the disposal of God's adversary and extinguish the light which shines again and again. It is difficult to recognize the truth in the last times, but it is possible if the desire for truth prevails. For God's flow of grace flows uninterruptedly, and even if His adversary tries everything to stop it .... the power of God is greater, and the light of truth exposes His adversary. But the battle between light and darkness rages until the end of this earth. And those who hand themselves over to God's adversary will sink into darkness .... but those who desire light God reveals Himself to, and they will never fall prey to the adversary because the eternal light Himself illuminates them and gives them strength to withstand until the end ....

Amen

Lack of faith and trust in God

Lack of trust in God .... weakness of faith ....

B.D. 1393 from April 26th 1940, taken from Book No. 23

The steadfastness of faith lies only in a constant attitude which is turned towards God .... It is inevitable that a person will waver if his train of thought moves away from God. Faith is always the result of a deep connection with Him, for the feeling of belonging to Him makes it impossible to waver. The more intimately the heart beats towards the divine father, the stronger and more unshakeable is faith. The child's intimate relationship with the father must therefore never be disturbed. For then divine strength can also flow to the human being without interruption, and this strength first expresses itself in a strong faith and joyful confession of faith to the world around him and in a joyful affirmation of life. His gaze is clear, his train of thought is in accordance with the divine will and everything he does and does not do is likewise in accordance with God's will. The child seeks the closeness of the father, and this also brings him complete peace and security, for all his thoughts are then rightly guided. And every separation from Him will be noticeable to a person who longs for God .... for once he has been allowed to enjoy the security of the father's heart, every state of separation from Him will be perceived as torment .... He lacks security, persuasiveness and trust .... he lacks faith .... he is weak and without inner peace, because he lacks the closeness of the father .... And this is often the result of a lack of trust in God in earthly adversity. Every earthly need should be confidently presented to the father in heaven. However, if the human being allows himself to be overwhelmed and, instead of joining God all the more intimately, loosens the bond that connects him to the father in heaven, the strength will also diminish and this will result in a weakness of faith. You can achieve nothing without God .... With God you will win every battle, without God you will lose. Earthly things separate you from God time and again, and yet this is your own fault, for God does not command your thoughts, therefore do not let them wander away from Him and turn to other things, for this will not satisfy you, you will walk along in constant restlessness until you have found your way back .... Trust in God is faith .... and a believing earthly child should not allow itself to be shaken by anything, it should surrender itself unconditionally to the father in heaven, only then will it feel the strength of deep faith in itself and accept all the difficulties in life without worry, for they are always touchstones of faith that must not cause a person to fall.

Amen

Earthly worries ....

B.D. 1604 from September 9th 1940, taken from Book No. 25

Lack of faith and trust ....

People torment themselves with worries that are unjustified when they fear for their body's well-being, and thereby deprive themselves of the ability to accomplish the work on their soul. It is simply insignificant how the body spends its life on this earth, what is important is the progress the soul makes, and therefore all your concern should only be for the soul. And even if it seems as if the body is in need, a trusting prayer to the Father in Heaven is enough and every need will be remedied. Yet that is what you lack, the faith that One can help you, and that His love is unspeakably great that He wants to help you .... However, if you do not believe, you deprive yourselves of this help. Man should know that everything .... suffering and joy, happiness and adversity .... are imposed on by the Heavenly Father on His child, and that everything is a test to strengthen his faith. Only when you consider everything to be God's will shall faith become strong in you, and you will entrust yourselves and your worries to the Heavenly Father, and ask Him to take them away from you. Nothing happens against the divine will, God knows everything, and this realisation will allow you to quietly and humbly bear what God sends you ....

Amen

Fear is insufficient faith ....

B.D. 7462 from November 24th 1959, taken from Book No. 79

It is My will that you should not be afraid but only ever believe in a loving and almighty God and Father, Who will not leave you in distress. Fear, however, is insufficient faith. Fear does not know God's love and omnipotence Who wants to be your Father .... For as soon as you believe that I love you like a father loves his children you will also be convinced that I will not let anything happen to you, no matter what the enemy of your souls will do to you. My protective Fatherly hand is always ready to intervene when it means providing help for My child in need. And you are in need when you are afraid, be it physically or spiritually .... you are in need when you are anxious and despondent because you lack the strength of faith that nothing can happen to you as long as you turn to Me and appeal to Me for protection and help.

Yet even if your own common sense keeps telling you this, your heart nevertheless remains scared and sad, and this is where you have to improve matters yourselves .... by establishing your bond with Me as intimately as possible, with your eternal Father Who is just waiting for you to come to Me in heartfelt prayer and confide your worries to Me. I require this sincere devotion to Me in order to provide your heart with the inner calm that is still lacking in you. You have to come to Me with your every concern and in a completely childlike manner appeal to Me for help .... And I will listen and answer your prayer because I love you like a father loves his children. But you often find it so difficult to approach and discuss matters with Me .... you so often remain distant and struggle to cope with your worries although it would be so simple to burden Me with them and free yourselves of them ....

You have a loving Father Who would like to arrange a pleasant earthly life for you if only you would grant him the right to do so by forming a heartfelt bond with Me as a matter of course .... Anyone who is connected to Me will truly no longer suffer hardship; but difficulties arise as soon as you loosen the connection, because I do not tie you to Me but long for your voluntary devotion to Me .... And this is what you should demonstrate through heartfelt love and personal communication by confiding your worries to Me and appealing to Me to take them from you .... Then all you have to do is wait and it will happen as you wish .... all your worries will be taken from you. And you need not even fear if you are besieged by the powers of darkness, for they cannot harm you as long as your will applies to Me, as long as you yearn for Me and the final unity with Me .... And therefore you should only ever question your deep-down desire, and if it applies to Me you can also firmly trust in the fact that My longing for you will not allow Me to abandon you, that I will protect you from every difficulty wherever it may come from .... I want to own you one day and will not allow you to go astray as long as you yourselves also aim for and strive towards Me .... That is why every worry and apprehension is unnecessary .... You belong to Me and shall remain My Own eternally ....

Amen

Lack of trust .... "Ask and it will be given to you .... "

B.D. 4150 from October 22nd 1947, taken from Book No. 50

You certainly hear My word and thereby can learn My will, you are also willing to serve Me and to take care of the spreading of My word .... you also live consciously and strive for a higher spiritual state .... you also make an effort to live in love and are often in mental contact with Me, yet you still lack one thing: the boundless trust in My help in every adversity of body and soul. Yet it is precisely this trust which is the characteristic feature of My children that they come to the father and present their needs to Him in faith in My certain help. Not the slightest doubt is allowed to arise in you, you must put yourselves into the love of your father and creator and sustainer for His creatures. If you are able to feel seized by the father's love then every doubt in you will also disappear, for then My love will explain everything to you, then you will know that I cannot act differently towards you than to grant you everything you request, because true love never denies itself but wants to see itself united with the object of its love, and that I therefore always want to grant you what is good for you so that you will not come to any harm. Yet your intellect cannot grasp it, and you are still far too active with your intellect where only your heart should decide; your intellect questions and ponders and hardly comes to a satisfactory result. But your heart has the right feeling and tells you again and again that only My love is decisive and that this love is intended for you forever if only you desire it. And therefore you only have to make yourselves worthy of My love, and then you will never make a wrong request, for I will grant you everything if only you can be counted as My Own by fulfilling My commandment of love, among those who no longer have a home on earth but see their true home in the spiritual kingdom and who therefore long for a connection with Me, their eternal heavenly father. You need only ever think of My love and your trust will increase, and then you will have the guarantee for the fulfilment of every request yourselves, and then you will no longer doubt because I have given you the promise: 'Ask and it will be given to you, knock and it will be opened to you .... "

God’s grace in the end time

Last days of grace .... means for each individual ....

B.D. 6684 from November 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 72

Only entrust yourselves to the one to Whom everything is subject and His hand will guide you correctly. The struggle for life will become increasingly harder, spiritually as well as earthly, because this is due to the time which is drawing to a close .... What otherwise took much time has to be achieved in a short time, (11/4/1956) and therefore you should not be surprised that an increased degree of suffering and hardship will affect the people of this earth, which shall have an effect on the souls of people who are otherwise in great danger. You, who were introduced by Me into My plan of salvation from eternity, you know the significance of this last time .... You know that it is still a short time of grace for all people and that this short end time decides the fate in eternity, which can be exceedingly glorious but also an agonizing state of banishment. But your fellow human beings don't know it, and they only ever see the events taking place around them and their own path of destiny .... Yet even without knowledge of the meaning and purpose of this they could become thoughtful and arrive at the right attitude towards Me, their God and creator .... For I truly use those means on each individual which I recognize as successful for him .... But I also have to leave it up to each individual how he allows these means to take effect on him, but each individual would also be relieved of his adversity if only he would give himself to Me in complete trust .... if he acknowledges Me with conviction and then humbly entrusts himself to Me in every adversity of body and soul. And then he can also be convinced that I will take him by the hand and guide him on his further path of life and that he will be safe in My protection .... But as long as the human being has not yet found Me he will also wander lonely through dark, dangerous areas, and because I know the dangers which surround him and would like to protect him from them but cannot help him until he calls upon Me he will often be affected by adversity and suffering where he cannot help himself and now looks around for help .... And good for him if he then turns to Me and entrusts himself to Me for further guidance. Whatever may come over you, you know that one watches over you who are Mine through your will .... but you also know that I must also remember the others who have not yet found their way to Me and that I often resort to means for their sake which sometimes make you doubt My love .... I love all My creatures and do not want their ruin but that they become blessed .... And My wisdom also recognizes the only effective means for each individual. And again and again I therefore address you, who want to serve Me as servants in My vineyard: Do not slacken your efforts to point out the near end to your fellow human beings, whether they want to believe it or not .... And draw their attention to the fact that in every adversity of body and soul there is only one Who can help them and also wants to help them .... but that they have to call this one and hand themselves over to Him, that I therefore demand convinced faith in Me and without which they can never ever come closer to Me and that they can only gain such faith through loving activity .... And I Myself will support you in every way in your work for Me and My kingdom .... I will bless you and put the right words into your mouth, and with My help I will support you so conspicuously that fellow human beings shall find faith easy .... For much will still happen where you will be offered the opportunity to witness for Me and My kingdom, because time is pressing, for it won't be long now until the end is here ....

Amen

Increased supply of grace before the end ....

B.D. 7537 from March 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 79

In the end time the measure of grace poured out on you increases because the demands on you are also excessive and because My adversary uses all his might to pull you down into the abyss. You humans are weak and in need of a great supply of grace, you are irrevocably lost if you don't receive help, you are dependent on an unusual supply of grace which, however, will also be granted to you because I love you and want to save you from ruin. For this reason you will repeatedly experience unusual help in the last days; although you will often not want to see it as 'help' because you humans are often severely affected by all kinds of strokes of fate; but these, too, are to be regarded as means of grace, because you and your fellow human beings will be clearly informed of the transience of all earthly things and thereby also receive an indication of your actual destiny .... Thus you will be made aware of yourselves and your task on earth. Everything that stimulates you to spiritual striving is to be regarded as a means of grace .... But the greatest and most significant means of grace is the transmission of My word from on high .... In the last days faith has become so weak that even the book of the fathers is no longer particularly respected, that people no longer take My word from it, that they only read it according to the letter but do not value it as My address. Therefore I have to address them differently, I have to convey My word to people on earth again through messengers, through servants devoted to Me .... I must seek the opportunity to speak to people as a father speaks to his children. A bond must be established from the spiritual kingdom to earth .... People's attention must be drawn to an unusual activity on the part of the spiritual world. How the individual person receives it depends on himself, on his will to do good and on his willingness .... But it is an overwhelming grace that I Myself address you in the last days and announce to you everything that is to come, that I initiate you into My eternal plan of salvation, that I enlighten you about all correlations, that I give you a testimony about Myself and My nature, about My infinite love for you and about My eternal plan, through which I want to win you back again, you who once got lost to Me. This knowledge, which I convey to you through My word from above, is a very special gift of grace through which you can still be saved from ruin in the last hour if only you listen to Me, if only you open your ear and heart to hear My voice. And the closer it gets to the end the more abundantly I will distribute My gifts of grace, and again and again it will be possible for you humans to recognize Me Myself in every event which affects you .... And only someone with a completely closed heart will not make use of the blessings which are so abundantly offered to him. But anyone of good will can make use of them .... And anyone who immerses himself in My word, which is conveyed to you humans from above, thus also evaluates the gifts of grace, and he will feel it in his soul that he receives strength and will be able to survive the time of the end without danger. He will always be able to draw strength from My word, which is blessed with My strength. For people are weak and I want to help them in the coming time so that they will withstand all demands, so that they will also endure the coming battle of faith, so that they will persevere until the end ....

Amen

God's abundant measure of grace before the end ....

B.D. 8240 from August 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

A great treasure of grace is still at your disposal, for I know that you need it in this time which precedes the last end. My adversary proceeds with cunning and trickery, for he knows that his time has expired and that the power he still possesses will soon be snatched from him, because he has a large following which is in bondage to him and thus strengthens his power. And since people cannot be forced by him either but rather belong to him voluntarily, I will only snatch his power from him when the day of the end has come, when I take account and every being is assigned the fate it deserves. But I help My own to be able to resist because he will also harass them severely .... I still pour out abundant blessings and only ever call upon you humans to make use of them and to evaluate them correctly .... I Myself dwell in the midst of you in My word .... I sound My voice and address you .... I instruct you and inform you of all correlations, I initiate you into My plan of salvation, I let you take note of My rule and activity, of My loving care for you, of your weaknesses and open a source of strength for you so that you will not sink down wearily on the path you still have to cover before the end .... I help you to successfully cover the path that leads out of the valley of death into the realms of eternal life .... And you truly need not be despondent, you need not look anxiously into the future, you will also cover the last short distance and reach the goal because you want to belong to Me, thus you are Mine and I will not abandon My own, whatever may come. Yet for the sake of the whole of humanity an unspeakable amount of suffering will still befall the earth which I cannot avert because it is still the last means of salvation to persuade the lukewarm to return to Me, to snatch them back from the abyss which they irrevocably approach if they continue to walk the path as before .... Even the great tribulation which is yet to come is a grace on My part, for it can still bring about a change, it can still drive people to Me, they can remember their God and creator in greatest adversity and call upon Him, and then they will also be heard by Me, I will still accept them in the last hour. I will truly bestow My grace upon you in abundance, for I know that you are weak and in need of much help, and I want to give you this help in order to protect you from the severe fate of a new banishment, which, however, is your fate if you leave My grace unutilised .... Yet the adversary's activity prompts Me to counteract him to the same extent, even though the human being's free will is always the decisive factor and must be left up to you. The redeemer's work in the last days is extensive on earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond, because all spiritual beings full of light want to help the immature, unredeemed, and everyone will be blessed who joins this redeemer's work, who wants to be an eager co-worker in My vineyard, who faithfully serves Me as a servant and to whom I can therefore assign the work which brings Me success. Time and again I have to tell you the same thing, and you should see from it how much I care about your cooperation and how everyone who serves Me of his own free will pleases Me. For the time is coming to an end .... Only a short period of time remains for you humans, and this shall still bring salvation to many, so that you will not be lost again for eternity, so that you will attain life which lasts forever.

Amen

Power of faith

God demands faith in His immense love ....

B.D. 8289 from October 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You have to have strong faith in My love in order to understand that whatever happens is beneficial for you and your soul and that you cannot go astray if you humbly accept whatever comes your way. Irrespective of how arduous it seems to you .... I know what you are capable of enduring and I will support you if you trustingly rely on My help. The assurance that you have all My love should let you take your earthly path fearlessly, for nothing can happen to anyone who feels secure in My love, no matter how much external pressure he is under .... For I know everything, I know the strength of your faith, and this alone determines the extent of your hardship.

The fact that you may know of this now, that I instruct you Myself and enlighten you about My nature which is love, wisdom and might, should already demonstrate My love, for I want to guide you into profound faith, because strength of faith will overcome everything. Then you will no longer be apprehensive, then you will always recognise your Father in Me, to Whom you can entrust yourselves like children and whose infinite love will do everything for His children in order to help them on their earthly path and to make them happy in eternity .... It is My love in which you have to believe .... For this love will not let you fall, and it directs and guides you and imposes an earthly fate on you which can result in your complete deliverance if only you want it. And this love died for you on the cross, with its sacrifice on the cross this love bought your freedom from the adversary who was entitled to you because you once followed him voluntarily .... A father's love, however, will not leave his child at the mercy of his enemy and adversary; rather, it will fight for this child and rescue it from his control .... Hence this great love is yours, and thus you also have the guarantee that one day you will be free from the power of the one who was responsible for your fall into the abyss ....

And now that you live as a human being on earth you shall also know that the Father's love follows His children and that you, too, belong to those whose freedom was bought by His love and that it wants to regain you, you shall know that you should also give your love to your eternal Father, so that He can already make you infinitely happy on earth and one day in eternity. If you therefore believe in My infinite love you will also lose all fear and apprehension, all weakness, because you will always know that nothing detrimental can happen to you, because a loving father protects his children from everything that could harm them. The certainty of possessing the Father's love makes you feel free and cheerful, for you entrust everything to Me and are in no doubt that He will help you in every adversity.

A person with such profound faith will, by virtue of this faith, also closely unite with Me and be able to work remarkably on his fellow human beings by providing them with the kind of help which otherwise would exceed human ability or strength, for in close unity with Me he will take My strength himself and thus work with Me and I through him .... For My love knows no limits, yet your faith often erects limitations itself when it is not strong enough .... And, again, the strength of faith is the result of a life of love, for only love leads to a living faith, that is, 'Whoever lives in love lives in Me, and I in him ....', and thus there cannot be any doubt in the person, he is aware of My presence and also knows that My love is limitless and bestows unlimited strength on the human being too, if he wants to use it for deeds of love again ....

Anyone who is able to believe in My infinite love has only achieved this because he lives a life of love himself, and he has also passed the last test of will on earth, he has consciously returned to his eternal Father, for he wants the Father's love which draws him to Itself. Nevertheless, I often have to let the human being experience severe affliction in earthly life so that he will look for Me, so that he will faithfully entrust himself to Me, request My help and in receiving My help also recognise My love. Only then will he give Me the love I demand, which unites the child with the Father again .... And then the earthly life will have brought him the success which was the purpose for his earthly path: that he voluntarily unites with Me again, from Whom he once voluntarily separated and became wretched .... But My love wants to prepare everlasting beatitude for him, and sooner or later it will achieve this objective ....

Amen

Power of love .... power of faith ....

B.D. 4976 from September 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The strength from Me also enables you to be extraordinarily active, yet you must take care yourselves that it flows to you. You have to request it with faithful trust that I will grant your request for strength; or you have to acquire it yourselves through loving activity, for then you will work with Me by uniting yourselves with Me through every work of love and can then use My strength without limitation. Yet you lack the belief that you are powerful if you live a life of love, and thus you do not use the strength which, however, is at your disposal. And even My words are not enough to bring the belief in this to life in you, even though you only need to try it out in order to convince yourselves of the strength from Me in you. In unity with Me you can achieve everything .... Yet I cannot force you into this faith, I can only inform you of it through My word; I can advice you to let faith revive in you and again and again try to imagine My presence which awakens trust in Me in you, so that you will consult Me when you need My strength, that you will ask Me to help you and lose every weakness of faith. I want you to be strong in faith when great adversity befalls you, which you will then be able to banish at any time through the strength of faith. Believe that you possess My love, that I, as your father, will not deny you what you need; believe that the father does not let His children hope for His help in vain; believe that you, having emerged from Me, are My share, thus you can also shelter the same strength within yourselves which is able to do everything because it is divine strength and is also unlimitedly at your disposal, My living creations. And use this strength .... Subordinate your will to Mine and then you will only use the strength to work in accordance with My will. Join in intimate union with Me and then want to do what your heart tells you to do, through which My will now expresses itself and then acts, and you will be able to do everything with My strength .... Believe in it and test the strength of faith, and it will be all the stronger the more you unite with Me through loving activity. For then I Myself will work in and with you and you will accomplish everything with My strength ....

Amen

Reassuring advice to have faith ....

B.D. 3802 from June 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You are so timid and fearful and yet could be so strong with firm faith in Me and My willingness to help .... Nothing is impossible, for My power accomplishes everything, and even seemingly impossible help can be granted to you if only you have faith. And therefore you need not be deterred by anything, you need not let hardship nor worry discourage you once you hand them over to Me in firm belief of My love and omnipotence .... Then I will help you and even solve the most difficult earthly problem .... For I will not leave My Own and will be their helper in every adversity and peril. Where else should My love and power express Itself, if not to those who strive towards Me of their own accord, and with the love of a child put their trust in the Father to help them in every hardship? .... Where else should the strength of faith be applied if not to those who are My true children, because they acknowledge and love Me and always try to fulfil My will?

When you speak of God’s greater than great love, then it will surely extend to His living creations, for love takes hold of everything and desires unification. And thus, the Father’s heart, too, moves towards His children and wants to give them unlimited love in order to please them now and eternally. The Father’s love expresses itself in never-ending helpfulness, in keeping every danger at bay, in giving the child profound wisdom and knowledge .... But the child has to accept its Father’s gifts without resistance, then it will mature and hold on to its Father with heartfelt love and be indescribably happy.

Would you then be able to experience any kind of adversity that could not be averted by the Father? Hence you should totally trust in Me and not become fearful when you are approached by hardship due to My permission or My will ....

I want to test and fortify your faith so that it will become increasingly more steadfast, and the less you fail the closer I will be to you, for I will never leave you again once you have found Me. And whatever happens, it will be good for you, for you truly do not recognise the urgency and purpose of your earthly fate. But I know how you can be helped best, and you can unreservedly trust in My guidance, you need not fear for a moment but always just take refuge in My love which will never be withdrawn from you again. Believe firmly and steadfastly that I will help you .... and My help will not fail to materialise, so that you will clearly recognise the strength of faith, so that you will feel Me and My activity, and as My children join Me ever more intimately until nothing will be able to separate you from the Father’s heart, no matter what goes on around you .... And therefore you can look forward to every day with complete confidence, and you should even believe firmly when you sense great unrest around you, for you will banish every threatening adversity through your faith, as I have promised, that strength of faith will be able to do everything .... that nothing is impossible for God ....

Amen

Fight for strong faith

Strong faith .... answer to prayer ....

B.D. 3216 from August 8th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

The strength of faith achieves everything, and therefore the strength of faith does not cause anxiety but the human being confidently lets everything approach him and trusts in the help of Him Who is in heaven, Who possesses all power and Who directs everything according to His will. He does not become discouraged and fears no one but God alone. But he also loves God and this love prompts him to speak to the father like a child and to present all his needs to Him; he trusts in the father's love for His child and from this he also draws the profound faith that He will help him. He feels himself to be the father's child, and this is the reason for his rock-solid trust .... And therefore nothing can frighten or worry him, no matter what may come. The more confidently he expects God's help, the stronger his faith will be, and God will never let it fail. And that is why the human being should not stop struggling and asking for strong faith. He should try to imagine God's infinite love which looks after and cares for everything that has emerged from it .... But love fulfils every request, and the more confidently the human being trusts in divine fatherly love the less he will make wrong requests, for love denies the human being nothing; only the fulfilment must not harm his soul. But a person whose faith in God's infinite love is very strong and unshakeable is no longer in danger of losing himself as soon as his request is granted, for he no longer asks for earthly goods but only for the prevention of severe suffering which he fears. And he himself can banish this suffering through his faith if he lets it grow to such strength that he is fully convinced of the fulfilment of his request. For then he trustingly gives himself entirely to the heavenly father, he humbly awaits His working and also completely submits to His will. And therefore he now also thinks correctly, and this is expressed by the fact that he expects God's help with utmost calmness and confidence because he knows that God's love leans towards the earthly child which firmly believes in Him. God demands a firm unshakeable faith and will therefore never disappoint it. But the human being himself has to struggle for this firm faith, he has to pray fervently to God for the strength of faith, he has to ask that he will not fail when great adversity approaches him. For God will never let this prayer go unheard, which is more for the soul than for the body .... It is a request for spiritual possessions, for a profound unshakeable faith is not an earthly possession but something purely spiritual, it is the foundation of the spiritual kingdom, because without faith no-one can enter the spiritual kingdom which signifies eternal life for the human being, for his soul. For only through faith does the human being come to God, and only faith prompts him to live a way of life pleasing to God, only faith allows him to reach his final aim .... the final union with God ....

Amen

Struggle for strong faith ....

B.D. 4450 from October 4th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

The struggle for profound unshakeable faith must not diminish, otherwise there is a danger that the concern for physical well-being will outweigh the spiritual concern and the human being will become weak in every respect. Deep faith alone gives strength, faith is the guarantee of all success, faith gives peace and tranquillity of heart, and all worries disappear if the person has strong faith. A person's own strength is not sufficient to cope with the demands placed on him but only the strength of faith, for this is divine strength, it flows over to the person who presents all his needs to Me in profound faith so that I will help him. Firm faith that I will help him to master his earthly life also secures him the strength which is necessary to overcome earthly demands. But if faith is weak then the human being becomes anxious, he only focuses all his attention on his earthly activity, he becomes lukewarm in his spiritual striving and does not progress, but this alone is important in earthly life. A firm faith is trust in Me .... You must not lack this, for anyone who has no faith in Me does not believe in My love and My omnipotence either, thus he does not believe in a perfect being which is united with you in profound love. Strive for strong faith, don't cease to pray, to imagine that I belong together with My living creations forever, that you, who have emerged from Me, are constantly cared for and looked after and that I don't want to leave you in adversity if you feel yourselves to be My children and now also come to the father as a child and appeal to Him for help. First of all I want your trust in Me, your faith that I can and will help you .... If you have this faith you will already be helped, for I will never let a strong faith go to waste. Connect with Me in spirit, speak to Me and expect My help .... and it will become yours ....

Amen

Strength of faith needed in the final battle ....

B.D. 6265 from May 25th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

You will often still experience My visible help so that your faith will become strong and be able to withstand all oppositions which will come your way in the last days before the end .... You will often be so pressed that without firm faith you would surrender without resistance. Yet your faith in My help will let you courageously face everything .... you will not fear or doubt, for you know My eternal plan of salvation and therefore also know that everything has to happen as I have planned it and that nothing happens without My will or My permission .... You therefore also know that you are under My protection, that nothing can happen to you as long as you trust Me .... and you trust Me because you firmly and unshakably believe .... Therefore your faith shall still be strengthened, which will also happen through frequent visible help on My part .... For you, who are devoted to Me, you belong to the army of My fighters which I am training for the last battle on this earth .... And My fighters will fight courageously for Me and My kingdom. They will draw strength from Me, they will faithfully speak My name and be immune to all attacks on the part of My adversary. And because I need you I will also allow you to suffer, and you should always remember this when the world rises up against you. For it will do so because your light shines too brightly, because it reveals what My adversary prefers to keep hidden .... because he fears being exposed and therefore incites his followers to take action against you with all severity .... He tries everything to elevate himself to the throne and therefore does not shy away from declaring war on Me Himself .... thus to eradicate all faith in Me and My act of salvation. Yet he will not succeed because I have an army in you which resists, which cannot be defeated and which, through faith, has courage and strength against which the enemy fights in vain. Therefore you will never ask for My help in vain, I will always be ready to help you in every adversity .... therefore only ever turn to Me trustingly, whatever it may be .... I will help you to strengthen your faith so that it can no longer be shaken by anything .... The world will attack you shamelessly, for it does not shy away from false suspicions, and My adversary's activities will be revealed .... Yet all this is only to prove to you the truth of My word, all this is to prove to you how near the end is, because everything will happen as I have foretold it to you, that the gates of hell will open and all who are of good will and belong to Me will be harassed by diabolical forces .... but I stand beside you protecting you and the shield of faith covers you against all enemy attacks .... until the day will come when I will come forth with My power and glory .... when I will save you and put in chains the one who is My adversary and who wants to overthrow Me and whom I will defeat and bind for a long time ....

Amen

Invincible fighters of God .... unshakable faith ....

B.D. 2816 from July 18th 1943, taken from Book No. 37

You should steadfastly continue on your path and not allow yourselves to be stopped by the machinations of your enemies, who are your enemies because they want to take away your faith in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence .... in a God Who guides your destiny and Who can also save you from every adversity. You will have to overcome great opposition, you will experience great hardship, you will be attacked by your opponents, by those without faith, and you will always be met with hostility because you do not approve of people's behaviour and reproach them for the divine commandments which they constantly transgress. And mockery and derision will be your response and brutal measures will accompany them, which shall affect you in every way. Yet don't let your conviction dissuade you, don't lose faith in the one Who can help you, turn to Him trustingly and call upon Him in every emergency .... He knows His children and stands by them, and He will give you strength in the battle against the children of the world. You can endure everything in view of Him for Whose name you fight .... He once carried a heavy cross, He took the suffering of humanity upon Himself, and He will also take your suffering upon His shoulders if you call upon Him. He will give you the strength to withstand every external challenge from the world that opposes you. For He will come to your side, as it were, and He will advise you where you should speak or remain silent, He will put His words into your mouth, He will give you courage so that you speak openly and unreservedly, without timidity and without fear that it could harm you. Always commend yourselves to His love and grace and be prepared to fight for Him, then you need not fear anyone, neither visible nor invisible enemies, neither people nor spiritual forces who want to harm you. For people have no power as long as you fight in God's name, and the evil forces will not be able to oppress you in His presence either. And when you pray, pray for deep, unshakeable faith, for then you will be able to do everything and you will be powerful and invincible. You will lack nothing, even if people try to deprive you of everything, for the father in heaven sustains His children in a marvellous way, He provides His children with what they need for body and soul .... They will not need to go hungry, they will feel the strength and power of God's love when the need is greatest. And so you should devote yourselves to Him in faith and serve Him with all willingness, then the world will not be able to harm you, for God assures you His protection, you who fight for Him and His name ....

Trust in God’s help!

Emotional life of people .... Trust in God ....

B.D. 0626 from October 18th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

In the depth of the human emotions, so many things are hidden, and you cannot understand the miraculous work of "human" out of yourself. And yet you again lack the firm confidence in God .... If you apply the standard to the daily events alone, then you will soon have to recognize that the emotional lives of people are very different. What presses one beyond all measure, is easily bearable for the other and what one overcomes in a short time, can torment the other for a very long time. All people are created equal, but their emotional lives are different ....

The soul is, as it were, endowed with various types of resistance to purely external things, depending on how the stations of embodiment have previously increased this resistance. Nevertheless, the lack of resistance can very easily be acquired in earthly life through trust in God, and therefore all suffering on earth can also be reduced where there is a strong trust in God .... All sufferings can then only help to refine the inner life, so that all spiritual feeling comes to the fore and not so much attention is paid to physical suffering, because hope in God's help is consolation in difficult hours.

The Father's unceasing concern is the ennoblement of the soul, and His means are often such that they appear outwardly hard and unloving, but are true balm for the soul .... that they influence the inner life of man in a beneficent way and thus suffering can also be a blessing. If man, in times of distress, realizes that God has given him the strength to overcome all suffering up to now, he will also now again take suffering upon himself and only ask for Divine help in the firm belief that he will be heard. For the love of the Father is great, He heals all wounds at the right time. And so His orders are according to the highest wisdom never to any harm of man, but the soul will know thanks to it's Creator for eternity .....

Amen

Living faith and trust in God ....

B.D. 1442 from May 29th 1940, taken from Book No. 23

Living faith and unrestrained trust in God are indispensable for an easy life on earth. The human being has to be convinced of God's love and omnipotence, then nothing on earth will frighten him, he will unconditionally submit himself to the heavenly father, for he knows that he is safe and secure in His love. And thus you should take care that your faith is strong and that you trustingly present every request to Him, and you will also courageously face the most difficult events. Faith therefore conveys divine strength to you, for through faith you regocnize it and through your trust you draw it to yourselves. What you hope for from God's love is already fulfilled for you before you have expressed it, because faith in His love and omnipotence is inherent in you .... Rock-solid faith can make the impossible possible, for nothing is impossible for God and your faith is, as it were, the guarantee that God will reveal His omnipotence. For if a child places complete trust in its father, then the father will not want to disappoint this trust of the child and He will fulfil His child's desire. It is unspeakably important and valuable in earthly life to be believing and trusting, for both lead to an intimate connection with the father in heaven, a believing earthly child will be able to establish contact with Him more easily and approach Him childlike, asking and trusting and without doubt. He will therefore easily establish the right relationship, which is the prerequisite for a life on earth rich in grace .... The human being will have an advantage over those who are without faith and therefore have no support in the hardships which are a bitter necessity in order to allow the earthly child to find the right relationship with the father so that it can also be seized by God's love. Recognizing divine love, wisdom and omnipotence is a prerequisite in order to be able to live earthly life consciously .... For faith is the acknowledgement of God's omnipotence and wisdom, while God's love is regocnized through deep trust in God and the human being unconditionally abandons himself to God's care if he is a believer and can now walk his earthly path without worry, always knowing that he is protected by God's infinite love and goodness ....

Amen

Shield of faith .... Trust .... God's protection ....

B.D. 4720 from August 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54

I Am giving you a genuine gift, and in realising it you should be joyful. How can the world possibly harm you if I stand before you as a shield and let nothing harm you? Hence, take your stand behind the shield of faith and you will be protected against all attacks by those with ill intentions. I will always stand by you, always ready to protect you whenever you are in danger. And this belief has to be so certain in you that you thereby banish all fear and distress. I Am with you and hold on to you so that you will not get caught in the undergrowth, in the many worldly obstacles to which you fear to succumb. Just look up and call to Me in thought, then you will never walk alone but always in My company, able to live untroubled until the end of your days. Although the world will still badly bother you it should not cause you fear, for I Am stronger than the world, and if the world pesters you though I want you to be at peace, then it will be unable to harm you. Therefore, be joyful and happy and despise the world, that is to say, ignore it and what emerges from it. My kingdom will compensate you for what the earthly world denies to you, and to dwell in My kingdom is truly more desirable, for it will not disappoint you.

I Am also Lord over this earthly world and control your earthly life too, but you should leave this concern entirely to Me and not burden yourselves with it, because the state of your soul is far more important and you alone have to improve it. I can put your earthly life in order for you but you will have to shape your spiritual life in accordance with your will. And in order that nothing shall stop you from improving your soul I will take care of your body and all it requires to maintain and fulfil its earthly task. And because I make this promise to you, you can truly commend yourselves to Me, every experience will be for the benefit of your soul. Therefore I only expect your complete trust in My assistance and you will be helped with every problem you have. For nothing is impossible to Me, and all threads in eternity are controlled by My will, in wisdom and greater than great love .... always for the benefit of My living creations, for whom I want to prepare an eternally blissful fate ....

Amen

Faithful trust ensures God's help ....

B.D. 5940 from April 24th 1954, taken from Book No. 64

I Am close to you .... Just a thought will call Me to you, and you can confide all your worries and problems to Me .... I hear you and Am always willing to help. However, you must place your trust in Me .... You must believe that you, as My children, are always embraced by My love, that I will never leave you to your own devices but always watch over you like a good father looks after his children. In that case you can rest entirely assured that nothing will harm you, that everything that is destined to approach you will be good for your soul. But your faithful call to Me will also ward off what seems unbearable to you, for My love cannot deny you anything if you trustingly ask Me for it. But if you doubt My love or My power you will make it impossible for Me to grant your prayer. Nevertheless, I will not disappoint a strong faith .... Therefore I will always admonish you: Make sure that you gain strong faith .... make sure that your faith comes alive through love .... This is My constant instruction, My constant wake-up call, because love is the only solution to dispose of all adversity, since through a life of love you will gain such strong faith that you will subsequently be able to banish all adversity .... You truly would not have to suffer or endure earthly distress if you had the strength of faith at your disposal which is the result of selfless kind-hearted activity. Then the purpose of your earthly life of changing your nature into love and, through love, being in heartfelt contact with Me, would have been fulfilled already .... since My presence rules out all adversity. Yet you humans are still weak in faith and thus also weak in love .... For this reason you should always turn to Me with a request for help to strengthen you. Request the strength you are lacking and believe that I will help you because I love you and want to gain your love as well. The heartfelt union with Me through prayer will assure you My support, and even if there are days and hours in your life when you are fainthearted and want to despair .... you are never forsaken by your Father in Heaven, and He will always help when the time is right ....

God's promise of help .... Strength of faith ....

B.D. 6704 from December 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 72

You can take refuge in Me whenever you suffer spiritual or earthly adversity and I will help you, as I have promised. You should never doubt My love or My might but know that I love you at all times and that I will always use My power as long as it will not harm your soul. And if you come to Me, if you sincerely and trustingly appeal to Me, your soul will not be at risk, for then I will have achieved what I wanted to achieve with the adversity, that you come to Me, that you call upon Me and thereby acknowledge Me as your God and Father of eternity. Even though your soul could already have completely handed itself over to Me the world nevertheless still influences you and time and again distracts your thoughts from Me. And even if I don't lose you, but you occasionally lose yourselves in other, worldly directed thinking, your heartfelt longing for Me diminishes, your spiritual endeavour becomes less and then you require slight strokes of fate, problems or ailments again so that you reconsider your attitude and establish your former intimacy with Me once more ....

The world is your enemy .... And every now and then I have to use ways to oppose it, so that I will not lose you, who are as yet not firmly united with Me, entirely to the world .... But I also have to bond you, who are already My Own but still need to increase your strength of faith, ever more firmly to Me. And therefore you, too, will be affected by adversities and suffering, which are only intended to strengthen your bond with Me and thus will also make your faith stronger, which you will need in the forthcoming time. You should come to Me in every adversity .... I Am always ready to help. And I will not refuse you any request as long as you truly trust Me that I, as your Father, certainly know what is right for you and will always give you what it is beneficial for you. You don't know My thoughts, you don't know My plans but you shall totally trust Me that I have My reasons for everything that is happening, and that everything is based on love, even if it seems incomprehensible to you. And as soon as you hand yourselves over to Me in full trust of My love and My might, thus completely fitting in with My will, bending down and humbly carrying your burden if I have put it upon you, then your trust in Me will truly be worth your while, and you will often miraculously experience how My love and might will affect you ....

What no human being is able to achieve is always possible for Me as your God and Father, hence there is nothing that would be impossible for Me to accomplish .... there is nothing which should make you become hopeless .... You just have to grant Me your full trust and total compliance, and then you are motivating My love and My might to become effective in you. And you always ought to remember that every day is a grace for you, since you can raise your soul's maturity if you work daily at improving your soul and also enlighten your fellow human beings who are affected by suffering .... Suffering is intended to achieve what the person's own will has not yet accomplished; suffering is intended to lead to God, to Me, for I can banish all suffering with My might. The human being should not complain if he is affected by adversity and suffering but take refuge in Me, Who truly can and wants to help if the human being believes in Me. You should confide all earthly and spiritual adversity to Me, and truly, I will noticeably help those who turn to Me with complete trust in heartfelt prayer ....

Amen

Full trust in God and His love ....

B.D. 8957 from April 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Only always commend yourselves to My mercy .... And it will be granted to you in abundance .... I am able to work everything, and so also I can remedy every bodily weakness when you entrust yourselves to Me believingly. Because everything is possible for Me, the most powerful being in infinity, Who gives His love to every one of His creatures. But whose trust is so strong that he has not the slightest doubt about this My power and love? You are well convinced that it is possible for Me, but not that I want to and can supply you Myself with proof that My love is also so great and wants to help you in your trouble. And this doubt about My love is what ties My hands, that love cannot work in all its strength and let you recover in an instant .... Believe in My love, which knows no limit, which has followed you to the deep and which is valid for you until all eternity .... (2.4.1965) Because My love never stops, and it wants to make you happy. And this love has also not decreased through your falling away to the deep, because since My original being is pure love, such would be impossible, because it knows no limitation. And once you men imagine this that only love determines My whole being, then also no doubt could be anymore in you that this love is always prepared to help you .... But one thing is a prerequisite that you return love to Me, that you also feel love towards Me, even if not to the same extent, because you are not able to do it, but it must fill your whole being. But then you could also believe, and you would trust Me without hesitation that I fulfil all your requests. But even if you do not experience My love as you wish, you can still be convinced that you possess My love, for I truly know what serves you best, and furthermore, I am willingly prepared to take your cross upon Myself if you want to burden Me with it, if you believe that you cannot bear it on your own .... Therefore bear all suffering patiently and humbly, for earthly time passes quickly. But one day you will also thank Me for it, because you can radiantly enter the kingdom of light and bliss .... because then you will be rid of all dross and you can now enjoy all glories until all eternity ....

Amen

God’s help after the catastrophe

"Behold, I am with you always ...."

B.D. 1004 from July 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 19

"Behold, I am with you always ...." These words shall be your comfort and confidence at all times. I will not abandon My own if only they desire Me, and I will help you bear all suffering if only you trust Me with faith. I will certainly make you bear your suffering, but only so that you remember Me and call upon Me for help in all adversity. For I want to strengthen your faith, I want you to let your faith become that strength that no earthly suffering can make you anxious and despondent anymore. You are still despondent and threaten to collapse under the oppositions I send you, but when these can no longer harm you, when nothing can make you waver in your faith in My help, you have reached that degree of strength of faith that I can work through you. Behold, how much easier life will be for you when you no longer have to pay attention to the daily oppositions and no longer have to worry about daily life. To be a true child of its father in heaven also requires complete trust that it will be protected in every adversity and danger, and thus I want to know My children standing in faith and trust in God .... I want them to always and constantly seek Me, that they approach Me fearlessly and in full faith in order to be able to fulfil their requests at any time .... They should always turn their hearts to Me and never become of little faith, and My love will take notice of their need and deliver them from it. What an indescribable abundance of grace is therefore always at your disposal if I promise you My help when you desire it .... And it is only necessary that you believe and ask .... I will not abandon you, for I know of all the suffering on earth and am willing to help wherever you believingly desire it. You alone create all difficulties for yourselves; if you are distant from Me in your heart, I have to direct your thoughts to Me, and that through hardship and suffering. But if you carry Me in your heart, you are also secure in My heart, and what you are then still obliged to carry only serves your own salvation .... One day you will thank Me when you realize why you were given this .... Yet you cannot grasp it on earth and should therefore only take up the little cross without grumbling and complaining and carry it humbly for My sake. The body passes away and with it earthly pain .... But you should fear for your soul, whose suffering is far greater if the body is spared suffering on earth. I love all My little children and do not want them to suffer throughout eternal times, yet this would be your fate if I kept earthly suffering away from you, which is truly not the hardest thing to bear. And if I promise you My presence, then trust Me and do not become faint-hearted. He who imposes suffering on you can also take it away from you, and He will truly not let you call in vain if you ask Him from the bottom of your heart ....

Amen

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

Exceptional help at the time of misery ....

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

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

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

Amen

God's providence .... helpers in need ....

B.D. 3246 from September 6th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

Recognize God's guidance, and give thanks and praise to Him .... For your fate in life is based on His will, and therefore everything has to happen as it happens. And therefore bear everything with patience, accept everything with gratitude, be it joy or suffering, for both will be for your best if you acknowledge it as God's providence and submit to His will. You will still have to endure the suffering of time for a little while, for the end will not leave anyone out, yet the father always and constantly holds His protective hand over His children and guides everything to the good, no matter what may come. Adversity is never greater than the Helper, and it is truly easy for His might to change the greatest adversity into happiness and to ease the earthly fate of the person who is in hard distress. But he must believe in Him and His power, in His love and seek to attain this love .... He must strive to live according to God's will so that God's love will also express itself. And even if earthly adversity seems insurmountable, firm faith and unshakable trust in God's help will banish it, and thus the human being himself has the surest means to avert it as soon as he appeals to the father in heaven, Who will not leave His children in adversity ....

Amen

Trust in God’s guidance!

Divine guidance ....

B.D. 1164 from November 7th 1939, taken from Book No. 20

Unlimited trust in divine guidance must take root deep within you, only then will you be able to overcome all difficulties with ease. It must be the guiding principle of all thinking that the divine lord and creator of each individual life leads .... if He does not encounter resistance .... always towards perfection. Man must know that not a single moment of life approaches him thoughtlessly, but that everything is only ever a means to help the soul .... That man himself is often the cause when the side effects of life appear difficult and unbearable to him .... That he often puts his soul in such danger through his own will that it can only be led back onto the right path through severe suffering and strokes of fate. So many different stages of development preceded the stay in the human body .... they have all contributed to achieving a certain degree of maturity, and every human being's course of life is suitable for bringing the soul inhabiting this body to perfection, provided, however, that it utilizes all the opportunities offered to it. If it does not do so, the soul's coverings will understandably thicken instead of dissolving, and the living conditions will have to occur in such a way that they can indirectly help the soul. And therefore not one event in human existence is meaningless and purposeless, not one single moment is allowed without the lord's will. If the human being keeps this in mind, that he is constantly guided by the faithful father's hand only in order to reach his final goal, then his trust in this divine guidance must grow and finally become so strong that he willingly abandons himself to this guiding father's hand. He must accept everything he encounters on his earthly career in the rock-solid conviction that it is only good for the salvation of his soul. He must endure all suffering or small adversities of life with the greatest patience and only allow the heavenly father to rule .... in every trial he will only regocnize the father's admonition, which he should willingly endeavour to follow. And if he completely surrenders to the father's guidance, he will soon be relieved, for his soul will willingly do what serves it and will no longer need more severe means to mature. Demonstrating faithful trust in days of adversity is infinitely beneficial for the state of the soul. For the human being then regocnizes the supreme power and willingly submits to all orders .... He knows that he will receive help at the right time, he patiently waits for it and does not rebel against divine will. And lifting up his prayer to the father in deep, childlike trust is the surest guarantee for its fulfilment .... For the father wants His child to come to Him in every need of the soul .... He wants to send him help, for the soul confesses its weakness and its faith in Him .... It is on the right path and therefore the suffering can be taken away from it again. That is why a person should never allow himself to be depressed by suffering, but should commend himself to the father in heaven with the most faithful trust .... Everything is only imposed on him by the father for his own good, and if the child regocnizes this, it will also take the right path, comply with the divine will and flee to the father in all hardship and tribulation, who will deliver it from all hardship ....

Amen

Fatherly love .... God's guidance ....

B.D. 3506 from August 5th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

Why do you fear and tremble? .... Do I not take part in your fate by always promising you My help? Just place your complete trust in Me and let yourselves be guided, and My guidance is truly right. You can walk along comfortably by My hand, the father's love protects you and will not let you fall. Yet you must overcome small difficulties so that you will grasp the father's hand all the more firmly, so that you will not forget His guidance, detach yourselves and want to travel the path alone. For this is a danger for you. Therefore, don't shrink from the hardship which makes the path seem arduous to you every day, accept all obstacles with complete trust in My help and you will easily overcome them and be able to calmly go your way again. For I always and constantly accompany you as soon as you want to accept My company. And strength will flow over to you from My nearness, and thus you need not fear anything, whatever the world threatens you with. It is My will or My permission that people will still suffer great hardship for the sake of their souls which are still turned away from Me. But I lovingly take care of My own, even though they have to share in the suffering and hardship of the general public. Let Me take care of you and free your hearts from every care of the body .... And only remember your souls that they need not go hungry; stay united with Me, pray and practice love, and you will never ever be without strength, for I will not forget My own, and I will hear and listen to every call to Me. And believe firmly and without doubt that nothing is impossible for Me and that I am closer to you than ever in the greatest adversity. But in My plan from eternity this adversity is intended, however, only as help for the lost souls which would otherwise get lost. But anyone who believes in Me, in My love and omnipotence, can let go of all worries, for as My child he will always be allowed to feel the loving father's hand which carefully looks after him on his path through life. People's spiritual low requires a time of adversity which is so drastic that it hardly seems bearable to people. And yet, you, who are My own, should not fear this time of adversity, for as long as you remain united with Me through heartfelt prayer and loving activity, through your will to live to please Me, you are also protected from the corrupting influence of the one who wants to bring you down. And thus the powers of darkness, which want to work through people, have little influence on you .... They can certainly frighten you but they cannot harm you because I stand before you and avert every harm from you .... unless it is necessary for your soul .... Therefore believe and trust, hold on to Me, and My fatherly hand will carefully guide you out of every danger ....

Amen

The path to the father's house .... God's guidance ....

B.D. 6418 from December 5th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

All of you are guided who want to walk by My hand, who entrust yourselves to My guidance .... I must always take your own will into account, I cannot push you against your will onto a path which you consciously avoid, which you avoid because it does not seem pleasant to you .... I can only quietly urge you on but immediately yield to your resistance if it is recognizable to Me. But anyone who entrusts himself to My guidance can walk his earthly path without worry .... it leads to the aim .... Therefore you should not look anxiously at the many obstacles and difficulties, you should only ever firmly hold on to My hand and you will be guided past all difficulties with the certainty which only My guidance can offer you .... Therefore, don't look anxiously into the future either, don't worry unnecessarily, leave all earthly concerns and only lift your eyes up to Me. For I am always there for you, I will also keep all adversity away from you if only you trust Me faithfully, if you behave like children towards your father, if you don't leave My side and leave all care for yourselves to Me. Your faith will banish all danger, for I will not disappoint your complete trust in My loving care .... You are indeed still surrounded by deepest darkness because you stand in the midst of a world of sin and unkindness. But the path I lead you is illuminated by a gentle glow, and where I am, where you walk next to Me, there will always be light, and thus you need not fear the darkness, you need only turn your gaze upwards from where bright light will always shine for you .... The deepest darkness surrounds you .... but the fact that you can walk the path of light by My hand should make you gratefully remember the great work of love and mercy which I accomplished for you humans in order to be able to lead you out of darkness into light .... I have prepared the path on earth which you can now take by My hand, in My discipleship, under My guidance. Before there was deepest darkness and no way out of this darkness .... But I prepared a path that leads from the depth to the height, from darkness to light .... And this path can only be taken under My guidance, i.e. the human being has to believe in Me in Jesus Christ, he has to acknowledge the act of salvation and Me Myself as the divine redeemer Who embodied Himself in the man Jesus in order to help you rise from darkness into light .... So everyone who wants to walk the path upwards with Me must join Me in Jesus Christ .... Then he walks the same path that the man Jesus walked, which leads to the father, home to the father's house .... The path leading up will always require the company of Jesus Christ, because there is only one path, the path of Jesus' discipleship, and because this path alone is full of light and guarantees the right aim. But I will never let go of anyone who has once entrusted himself to Me, My hand will hold him so that he will not fall, My hand will support him if he is weak, and My hand will pull him back from the abyss which can open up to him if he is not careful, if he turns his eyes back to the world he had already detached himself from .... He who entrusts himself to Me and My guidance can walk his path calmly, he will not go astray .... You should not allow any weakness, any doubt, any worry to arise within you, for if you hand yourselves over to Me you will take refuge in the father's arms, Whose love will truly protect and look after you, Who will safely lead you heavenwards ....

Amen

God takes care of all worries

Trust in God .... earthly worries .... "Lord, Thy will be done ...."

B.D. 0732 from January 2nd 1939, taken from Book No. 15

And if you are conscious of the fact that the father protects you, you will be free from all earthly heaviness, the desire for spiritual food will increase in you and the resistance from outside will decrease. And so all men should be anxious to put their earthly worries into the background, and consciously abandon themselves to the lord, who arranges every event according to His will and in divine wisdom, and you therefore only demand spiritual protection, but the bodily protection is likewise granted to you, if only you trust. For only now do you recognize the guidance from above .... You can cope with everything if you willingly hand yourselves over to the lord .... He who sends you everything can take it away from you in the same way, be it suffering or joy, illness and worry or happiness. As you receive it, so it will be of use to you .... if you are devoted, you are also certain of blessing, but unwillingness or rebellion cannot bring about the result that is necessary for you and your salvation, and you must now endure all the more until you have recognized the meaning of the mission from above and willingly submit to it. Therefore, bear in mind in all suffering that you still have to endure such things for your own sake as long as you have not yet reached a state of maturity. Every admonition of this kind is based on a necessity which you probably do not want to recognize but which forces the heavenly father to intervene because it is for your own good. And the more patiently and devotedly you submit yourselves to the lord's will, the sooner all harm will be taken away from you, for the One Who sends you such things will take them away from you again when the time has come. The living part is the love of the lord, but he who is dead in spirit does not recognize the love of God .... but the love of God always expresses itself where life is in danger .... He who wants to live shall not perish, and he who is in danger of giving himself over to sleep must be prevented .... And every spirit will live who always recognizes God's guidance in every situation, in the adversities and annoyances of daily life .... who only ever prays: "Lord, your will be done in heaven and on earth!"

Amen

Concern for His Own ....

B.D. 3726 from March 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

My Own can always be recognised by their generosity, by their spiritual attitude and their acknowledgment of My name even before the world. They will not shy away from standing up for Me and My teaching of love once the opposing activity becomes ever more evident and people progressively descend into heartlessness, thus distancing themselves from Me. However, My children know that their fellow human beings are in utmost spiritual danger and in great need of clarification, thus they also come forward and don’t hide their attitude towards Me, their God and Father since eternity. Anyone who believes in Me does not fear to confess it before the world; anyone who believes in Me also lives in accordance with My will and always and forever upholds his contact with Me .... Thus he belongs to My Own who will indeed be subjected to severe pressure in the end but who, through their union with Me, are and remain nevertheless stronger until the last day has arrived. For I will never leave My Own and they will believe this very promise of Mine without hesitation, because their spirit is already awakened, and the spirit in them teaches them the same as I reveal to people through My Word. The more harshly they are confronted by earthly hardship, the more they will be filled with My strength, because I will take particular care of My Own during the last days, as to enable them to stay loyal to Me and to resist the adversary. For this reason My Own need not worry how to survive the approaching time ....

Earthly and spiritually I care for those who have already passed their test of will for Me on earth, and who I therefore need not test anymore but only require for the sake of their fellow human beings, so that the latter can recognise the strength which is inherent in faith in Me, in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world. Until the end they shall still have the opportunity to gain this faith, and therefore you, My faithful children, have to provide them with the evidence and persevere until the end. Thus I provide you with immense strength because superhuman things are expected of you which you will be able to accomplish because I Am with you and thus you can use My strength. You can let go of every worry when you belong to My Own, and you are My Own when your heart turns towards Me in its desire for My love, for My grace and for truth .... for eternal life .... Because then you will improve yourselves in accordance with My will during your earthly life, then you are truly My children which I will not leave, which I will always paternally care for until the end and then bring back to Me, in order to reward your time of suffering on earth with bliss ....

Amen

Promise of most faithful fatherly care .... visible appearance ....

B.D. 4636 from May 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

I will continue to work in you, I will give you signs and perform miracles on you which you will recognize as miracles yourselves, although this will remain hidden from your fellow human beings. I will draw you to Me because you will no longer resist Me, even though you are too weak to ascend to Me by yourselves. I want you to feel that I am a loving father Who does not leave His children alone in adversity. And you shall have faith in Me and gain a firm belief, and then you will be true pillars for Me on earth, you will stand up for Me and My kingdom and confess Me before the world. I will not detach Myself from you even if you loosen the firm bond, if you believe that you have to pay tribute to the world and therefore sacrifice more time and vitality to the world. Again and again I come before you and cause you to tighten the bond, for I no longer leave you because I know that your will is meant for Me, even if the world wants to take you over. I keep you and no longer leave you in the hands of the lord of the world, for you have become Mine of your own free will and you will remain Mine because I want it that way. And with this assurance you can always be happy, you need not worry and fear for the future, you need no longer fear for your souls, you need only commend yourselves to Me, raise your thoughts to Me and give Me your love, thus long for Me and My presence, then you will also be inseparably united with Me. Yet this bond, which you have established of your own free will, cannot be severed by Me, and so that you will not sever it yourselves I will always make Myself known to you .... I will manifest Myself, I will be with you in spirit but also visibly approach those who love Me especially. For I want to win all your love in order to make you eternally blessed ....

Amen

The father takes over all the worries ....

B.D. 7949 from July 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Trust in My help in every earthly and spiritual adversity and only turn to Me, your father of eternity, with all your concerns, Who is always willing to help His children and Whom you will never call upon in vain .... if only you fully trust Me. All earthly events approach you in such a way as to be helpful for your ascent development .... And even if it seems to you as if you get into adversity and distress .... you yourselves can avert these from you if only you faithfully adhere to Me, if you ask Me to take all worries upon Myself .... and I will do so, for the father wants to win His child's love and will therefore only ever give it love .... Every spiritually-directed thought also guarantees you My help, for I have given you the promise: “Seek first the kingdom of God .... everything else will be added to you ...." And if you now give priority to the maturing of your soul, if you turn your thoughts towards Me and the spiritual kingdom, earthly hardship will not affect you so much because I Myself will take it away from you. My promise will come true, of that you can be certain .... I demand of you that you pay more attention to your soul than to your body .... I require you to seek contact with Me and My kingdom, and then I will take over the worries which burden you earthly, I will always regulate everything in such a way that it will benefit you. But you must trust Me, you must not allow yourselves to be depressed by earthly hardship, you must only surrender everything to Me, and truly, you will be able to praise yourselves happily, for no-one can take care of you better than I can, because I know everything you need and because I also want to bestow gifts upon you who serve Me, who are willing to be called My own .... you who think of Me and carry Me in your heart. To whom else should My promise apply if not to you who have the will to live for My pleasure? And so, if you have a concern, be it earthly or spiritual, trustingly come to Me and present it to Me .... And truly, I will consider you according to your requests, for nothing is impossible for Me and My love for you is exceedingly great .... Yet also reckon that great changes will soon take place which are indispensable for the sake of all humanity. Yet even then I will guide My own through it and you will experience My power as well as My love, which will be clearly recognizable in My own .... For they will have what they need and My strength will flow to them so that they will not feel anything too heavy, even if they are affected by strokes of fate .... They will always feel My nearness and in firm faith hand themselves over to Me, and they will always be guided out of every adversity. Just make sure that your faith strengthens, join Me ever more intimately and have a silent dialogue with Me, and you will draw much strength from it and then also do nothing without Me, you will always let Me be with you, you will secure My presence for yourselves through heartfelt prayer and activity of love. And in this heartfelt bond you will also trustingly present everything to Me which is troubling you and be certain that I will take all worries from you, that I will take care of you and can truly do this better than an earthly father takes care of his children. And in order to test you and your faith you will also be confronted by worries and hardship again and again; yet since you know the path you need only walk it .... you need only call upon Me in spirit and in truth .... and truly, I will answer your prayer ....

God’s protection against the adversary

Devils in the end time .... protection of God ....

B.D. 5020 from December 13th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

You can live in a world of devils and still be closely united with Me. I want to give you this comfort so that you will not become weak in the last days which precede the end. For during this time you, who are Mine, will be surrounded by devils who will harass you greatly for the sake of faith. And if you mention My name to them you will stir them up and you will have to suffer much from their malice, because they will attack everything that stands by Me. And yet, this is precisely your strongest weapon, your strongest protection, that you remain faithful to Me .... Then you let Me always be present with you and no-one can harm you if I am with you. Thus I also dwell in the midst of devils but in the hearts of those who belong to Me, who love Me and believe in Me, in My love and omnipotence, who are therefore convinced that I will save them from all adversity, that I am also lord over all evil .... You will be closely united with Me and your longing will grow from day to day, and this desire for Me will inevitably draw Me to you. Therefore you need not fear, even in greatest earthly adversity .... For everything is possible for Me, I can save you from greatest danger and am also victor over those. The world will hate and persecute you. But I love you and will protect you until your hour has come when you will enter My kingdom. And I tell you for your comfort that your faith will also grow stronger the more it is shaken, because those who earnestly strive towards Me experience a strengthening of faith from Me Myself and their spiritual attitude towards Me takes on a form which is a true child's relationship, and thus their trust in Me is also very great, so that they only fear little earthly adversity because they are fully convinced that I will save them. I will not leave you if you do not leave Me .... But you, who are Mine, can no longer leave Me because My love draws you. This is why I am constantly present to you and always will be, and especially when hell opens up and takes action against you. Then I will fight by your side and victory will be ours ....

Amen

Flight to God is defence against the adversary ....

B.D. 7751 from November 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Only the bond with Me gives you inner peace, for if you are united with Me My adversary can no longer harass you because he flees from Me. Therefore always take refuge in Me, seek comfort and help from Me when you are in earthly or spiritual adversity. And then you will certainly also push away the enemy of your souls who tries to put you into turmoil in order to then be able to work on you according to his will. But he will let go of you when he sees that you can come to Me with all your worries and needs. It is only your will which repels him or allows him to work. For he cannot force you to be in bondage to him, and he gives up his plans as soon as he sees that you unite with Me. Therefore only ever turn your thoughts to Me, don't fear the daily discord, hand yourselves over to Me in faithful trust and I will truly protect you and guide you correctly through your earthly life .... But the battle against the enemy of your souls will increase the closer the end is .... And anyone who is weak in his trust in Me will have a difficult battle against him. But for this reason I advise you again and again to take refuge with Me as soon as you are harassed, as soon as your thoughts become unhappy or anxious, for these are the signs of his nearness, because he wants to deprive you of your inner peace in order to prevent you from making contact with Me. And then seek contact with Me all the more, for I hear the slightest call which comes from the heart, and I am truly always ready to protect you. In the end time people will be increasingly more harassed by him, but increasingly more grace will also flow to you from My side so that you can take up the battle with the enemy of your soul, so that you will be resilient and need not fear him. For what can he do to you if you have Me by your side for protection. You just have to come to Me voluntarily, for this is what I require of you, that you take refuge with the father like children and appeal to Him for protection and help. Then you will prove your will to release yourselves from the one you once voluntarily followed to the abyss. And then I possess your will, and I can seize you and always be ready for your protection. And you may believe that he cannot oppress you if you join Me, if you allow Me to be present to you by entrusting yourselves to Me .... Then peace will enter your heart again .... he cannot oppress you because then you will be under My protection .... because you have surrendered to Me ...._>Amen

God's protection in the fight against the enemy ....

B.D. 8462 from April 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Time and again you will experience evidence of My love so that your faith will always become more alive, so that you will be aware of My constant presence and thus I can also work in you. I constantly want to speak to you, even if your body is not aware of it, but your soul hears Me and constantly receives My illumination of love, it gains spiritual treasures and constantly matures further. And thus I reward your work for Me and My kingdom, which is extremely urgent because the time is coming to an end and I still want to find access everywhere in order to make Myself known to people. And I bless every activity which is done for Me, and therefore I also bring My own together so that one will support the other, so that everyone will give to the other what the latter does not possess .... that you will support each other, be it earthly or spiritually. For a time of battle will still come for all of you where you will have to prove yourselves but where you will also be able to do so, because you need only constantly call upon My strength which will also flow to you in abundance, for I will not abandon My own and guide them through to the end. And time and again I also draw your attention to the attacks of My adversary, the enemy of your souls, that you should be vigilant and not allow yourselves to be tricked, for he, too, will approach you under the mask of an angel of light, and there will be great confusion amongst My own who do not want to believe that the adversary fights with means which have the appearance of good and righteousness and which are lies and deception. Therefore be vigilant and persevere in prayer, hand yourselves over to Me in fullest trust that I will protect you from his attacks, and the more intimately you unite with Me the clearer you will also be able to see through the enemy and turn away from all those who are connected to him and approach you as his accomplices. I will always hold My hands over you and yet there will be battles for you, because you shall decide of your own free will for or against Me, for or against him .... But I know My own and will not allow you to be deceived by him .... I enlighten your thinking, I instil in you the feeling of resistance if he approaches you, under whatever mask it may be .... But you should always bear in mind that you are in a dark area, for this earthly world is his domain where he can and will work if he is not opposed .... And you can only ever ask for light and through your will cause light to be supplied to you, and then you truly need not fear the prince of darkness, for where there is light he does not stay, he flees the light because he flees Me, Who is the light of eternity. Nevertheless, you must always be vigilant, for you yourselves are not yet perfect, and wherever you give the slightest impetus he will use the opportunity and try to confuse you, to agitate you, to become impatient and to push your thoughts away from Me. And therefore it is a constant battle for you against his temptations, but for which you only ever need to appeal for My support and you will emerge victorious, he will not be able to harm your soul .... And I promise My protection to all of you who want to belong to Me, whom I therefore count as My own because you surrender your will to Me, because I possess it and therefore will no longer leave you to My adversary .... And everything will also be bearable for you, even though difficult times will come upon you, for I have also promised you My protection, My help and guidance for these times. And you can let everything approach you without worry, it will always happen as I have determined in My plan of salvation and as it will be beneficial for those who belong to Me .... As soon as you completely hand yourselves over to Me I will take care of you, earthly and spiritually, and I will guide you through all hardships of life without harm .... My strength will flow through you no matter what approaches you, for you can always feel safe in Me, like children you can always trustingly come to the Father and He will lovingly take care of you, He will always be there for you and guide you through to the end ....

Amen

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

God’s help to the trusting supplicant

Trust in God .... promise: "Ask and you shall receive ...."

B.D. 2351 from May 29th 1942, taken from Book No. 32

The lack of trust in God will become quite obvious when people find themselves in great earthly adversity because they lack profound faith .... faith in a power which can change every event in the world through its will. The believer surrenders to this power with complete trust because he knows that the love and omnipotence of God wants to help him and can help him, and thus the full believer has an advantage over the unbeliever because he is often spared anxiety and worry, whereas the unbeliever lives in constant anxiety and worry because he has no one to turn to who can relieve him of this. Trust in God therefore requires deep faith, but at the same time trust in God determines the depth, i.e. intimacy, of prayer. For he who is full of trust in God will come to God in all the needs of body and soul and ask Him for His help .... He will call upon Him in his heart, and thus the fervent prayer rises up to God. And the father in heaven hears this because His love for His children is so great that He does not want to leave them in suffering and sorrow. But where there is a lack of full confidence that God can and wants to help, prayer will only timidly rise up to God and the help will be correspondingly weak. It is therefore absolutely necessary to penetrate to a strong faith, because it only results in heartfelt prayer to God and thereby the connection with God is established much more easily. In strong faith the human being feels closer to God and he is able to pray in spirit and in truth, i.e. to speak to Him unbiasedly, and the sooner his prayers will be able to be answered, for a prayer sent to God in profound faith and full trust must necessarily result in fulfilment, because God Himself has promised people that He will give them what they desire .... "Ask and you shall receive ...." And what God has promised will always and forever remain pure truth .... So if He has given people the assurance that He will help them, they can also believe without doubt that He will do so and now let their confidence grow strong. And from that hour on earthly life will also be easier to bear, for what the human being's own strength is not sufficient for he will be able to do with the support of God's strength, which the fully believing human being can and will request, because God Himself has placed it in people's hearts to ask Him if they need His help. Strong faith can also be requested and God will also answer this prayer, for if a person asks for spiritual possessions he will never make a wrong request ....

Undoubting trust in God ....

B.D. 7417 from September 27th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

All your prayers will be granted to you if only you pray in the right way .... But as yet you do not know what to understand by the 'right way of praying'; otherwise you would live a completely carefree life on earth, because you would trust Me at all times. However, you lack this firm trust in Me, hence you cannot pray properly either, you doubt and still keep asking although you need only wait for help without doubting. Time and again tiny doubts still arise in you as to whether I will actually fulfil your requests, and then your prayer is already not as it should be in order to be granted. You should always know that My love for you is infinite and that love never denies itself .... If you pray in realisation of this, then you will also know that I cannot refuse anything you pray for, because My love wants to avert all difficulties from you, My love wants to make you happy, and My power is so great that nothing is impossible for Me, even if this seems impossible to you humans. Even so, you are unable to grasp My boundless love and this causes you to doubt, which weakens your trust in the fulfilment of your requests and thereby also restricts My working .... You only ever apply the yardstick which is applicable to you humans; you also limit My love because you have no idea what it means to love without limitation and to bestow limitless love. But no boundaries exist for Me, neither for My love nor My power, and therefore nothing is impossible for Me, just as I do not curtail My will to love those of you who pray to Me from the bottom of your hearts and with complete confidence that I will help, that I will grant your prayers. It is only your trust which must yet grow stronger .... the firm conviction that I hear your appeal and will come to help you, whatever it may be .... Your trust can overcome everything, since then you will only work with Me Myself and thus you will also be able to undertake what you want .... it will always be blessed by Me .... You will clearly feel My hand after heartfelt and trusting prayer to Me .... You will be guided as it will be in your best interest, and all worries will fall away from you, so that you can walk through earthly life cheerfully and unburdened, always holding on to My hand and never letting go again because you constantly unite with Me in prayer. By simply finding this heartfelt bond with Me, you will be able to pray correctly, then you will speak to Me in the simplest way and I will hear you and not prolong the moment in order to help My child .... However, you must trust Me .... I must insist on this because every doubt prevents Me from My activity of love in you .... given that it is an eternal law that love must not meet with resistance, but that a lack of trust constitutes resistance which prevents the strength of My love from becoming fully effective .... I Am concerned for each individual person's well-being and each individual person can speak to Me like a child speaks to its father .... Thus anyone who does that will truly be well taken care of for time and eternity, he will always and forever receive help, for as soon as the child places its trust in Me I can take effect in him according to his will. And only then will he be able to pray correctly in spirit and in truth, only then can he be certain that his prayers will be answered, for I will not deny Myself to anyone who fully and trustingly calls to Me for help ....

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

Silent prayer .... Public confession ....

B.D. 6012 from July 30th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

Let those who worship Me do so in spirit and in truth .... Only what comes from the very bottom of your heart is pleasing to Me and will reach My ear .... Hence, I only look into a person's heart and disregard the words spoken by the mouth if the heart is not involved. If you are able to completely withdraw from the world in order to enter into heartfelt dialogue with Me, then you are already praising Me without words through your willingness to make contact with Me, then you are sending Me in thoughts a silent prayer, true worship, which will be a great blessing for your soul, for the connection with Me lets you gain strength and grace which is experienced by the soul as help for its maturation. This sincere form of prayer is the true prayer which is pleasing to Me, for then you have voluntarily approached Me so closely that the strength of My love can touch you, drawing you ever more affectionately towards Me. If you want to speak to Me then the spoken word is truly unnecessary, for this can easily intend to hide or pretend something, which I certainly recognise but which need not be evident to another person who allows himself to be easily deceived and then will use the same form of prayer himself ....

Step into your closet if you want to pray .... Withdraw into complete silence, you will be able to find Me there far easier and communicate with Me like a child with its Father .... And you will tell Me everything without fear and in childlike trust .... And your requests will be granted to you because then your prayers will reach My ear .... For I have promised you this with the Words 'Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' .... Thus I will keep My promise with anyone who comes to Me, and this more evidently so the more trustingly he approaches Me, the more intimately he unites with Me and entrusts himself to Me in silent conversation. The spoken language is intended for your communication amongst yourselves .... But I don't need words for I know everything, I look into your heart and read your thoughts, and thus you cannot deceive Me no matter how beautiful your words are .... just as no words are needed if you want to exalt and praise Me .... because a silent expression of thankfulness, a humble call upon Me, a life following My will, a faith brought alive through love will truly please Me and include praise and thanks as well.

Yet you shall confess Me to your fellow human beings with your mouth .... Where it concerns your attitude towards the faith you shall confess Me freely and openly and not fear the consequences of your courage of conviction .... For this confession shall in turn be an incentive for your fellow human beings whose faith is still weak, and at the same time it demonstrates that you support the truth, that you don't want to give an outward impression which does not concur with your inner thinking, with your conviction. You shall always be true and put Me and My name above all else if this confession is demanded of you ....

But whatever you want to tell Me can be presented to Me by you silently and in secret, for I want to hear the voice of your heart and not just words spoken by the mouth without the involvement of the heart. And such prayers are tremendously powerful if they are sent to Me in unison .... if people come together imploring Me to grant a particular request .... if they all appeal for the same, if they send the same plea to Me, and even if it is just a short call .... I will hear it and grant it if they pray to Me in spirit and in truth ....

Amen

"Come all to Me ...."

B.D. 7047 from February 23rd 1958, taken from Book No. 75

In prayer you have an extremely effective remedy for every earthly and spiritual adversity, for a right prayer which is addressed to Me in spirit and in truth truly does not fail to have an effect. I cannot and will not close My ear to it, and I will use My power to help you even where earthly help seems impossible. But first you must enter into trust in Me, you must know that I am the father of all of you Who loves His children and does not want to leave them in hardship and suffering, even if these are necessary for your soul .... and you must know that there is nothing for Me which I cannot change, and that there is also no illness which is impossible for Me to heal .... entrust yourselves to Me, present all your needs to Me in all childlikeness, speak to Me as a child speaks to its father, and be not faithless but believing .... You all don't yet know how to appreciate the power of prayer, otherwise you would truly be spared much adversity and suffering, because I gladly listen to the pleas of a child which comes to Me in all confidentiality and hands over its small cross to Me so that I may carry it for it. I have borne all your sins and died for them on the cross, I have suffered for you the suffering which your guilt of sin had burdened you with .... You could go through your earthly life without suffering if you wanted to unite with Me so intimately that all your burden would rest on My shoulders and that you would walk freely and light-heartedly along the path to the height .... But you all still keep yourselves too far away from Me, you don't come closer to Me in confidentiality, and therefore you yourselves often still feel the burden of the cross which, however, should only urge you towards Me because you should live in intimate communion with Me. But you can prove this intimate fellowship to Me in right prayer, I always hear and listen to a right prayer which is spoken to Me in confidence, for I have promised you this with the words: "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" and "Ask and it shall be given you..." My promises are truth, and you will always be allowed to experience the proof of this if only you turn to Me in right prayer. But as soon as you doubt, your prayer will lose its effect of strength. And only rarely is your faith of such strength that all doubt is excluded .... Only rarely do you have the certainty that you will be helped when you pray, which only proves an undoubted faith. But you should know that My word is truth and that when I Myself speak to you .... you have to ward off all doubt, for you should believe that no thing is impossible with God .... always remember that everything you see only came into being through the strength of My will, remember that I let new creations arise at any time, which cannot be denied by people. And therefore also remember that it is truly possible for Me to restore the old order which is disturbed due to illnesses or other earthly circumstances which cause you humans problems. I can put everything back into order, and I will do so as soon as you approach Me with faithful trust, as soon as you come to the father like children and present your requests to Me. The grace of prayer is available to all of you, you can all make use of it, for I have said: "Come to Me, all of you ...." but do not just speak words without spirit and life, call Me very close to you and then pour out your heart to Me and truly, you will be helped, I will not let your faith go to waste ....

Amen

Increased help from the beings of light in the end time

Incarnation of beings of light .... Forerunner ....

B.D. 4899 from May 19th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

I repeatedly convey the Gospel to earth, and as you receive it from above it is pure and uncorrupted by human will. I know that this is necessary since untold people are no longer able to find Me because they are no longer taught the truth. Therefore I have embodied Myself in the spirit of those who want to serve Me. The fact that they now receive the truth in its purest form is a necessity which was long recognised by My love and wisdom, which in itself prompts Me to protect the recipient of truth from above against the influence of impure spirits, which want to confuse his thoughts and prevent the truth from being conveyed to him. Therefore, anyone who receives the Gospel which I Myself taught on earth and which My servants on earth are once again instructed to spread, can rest assured that he has the truth, that he, as My apostle in the last days, may instruct his fellow human beings without fear that error could enter his teaching. And in this knowledge he should approach all those who cross his path. He should consider himself as My representative and always stand up on My behalf of what he has received from Me Myself, and which will express itself as an inner feeling because it is pure truth.

Many beings of light are presently embodied on earth because the immense spiritual hardship requires exceptional help which can only be provided by beings of light. Such souls of light are usually spiritual leaders, i.e. due to their way of life in accordance with My will they have a close relationship with Me and thus are able to accept My instructions directly and pass them on to people. The degree of maturity of these light beings is such that a descent into the abyss is impossible, on account of which they always live in utmost humility and unselfishness and only try to bring My kingdom to people without wanting any benefit for themselves but to serve Me and to help people. It is therefore possible for a being of light, sent to earth by Me, to incarnate several times if people's spiritual low level necessitates it. But these incarnations are always in utter service to Me until the end, for My will prevails in these beings as they had already submitted themselves to Me voluntarily and cannot lose this degree of maturity on earth anymore. Inferior spirits will never be able to dominate such a soul embodied in a human being, and it will never succumb to their evil influences either. Hence, an already perfected spirit on earth will never be able to fall, that is to say, not achieve its mission .... Such a mission can merely appear in people's opinion as having been interrupted as a result of a sudden recall into the spiritual kingdom or due to adverse human actions which prematurely ended its earthly life. Yet even this is known to Me since eternity, and I do not forcefully interfere so as not to enslave people's will.

Nevertheless, the act of Salvation will be completed, and everything will come to pass as destined by My eternal plan of Salvation. Even the most perfect spirits from the heavens will temporarily embody themselves in order to achieve spiritual progress amongst people, for without such help the latter will be too weak to resist. And then the dead will rise from their graves, that is to say, those who are spiritually totally blind can be awakened and enabled to see through a bright flash of light from above .... But then it will be the time of the last days when My return can be expected, which was constantly proclaimed by seers and prophets. And prior to My coming the greatest light on earth will shine in modest apparel. Yet again it will proclaim Me as he had done before My appearance in the flesh on this earth, before I commenced My teaching of people to whom I wanted to bring the Gospel .... He was My forerunner and will be it again. You humans will recognise him by his words, after all, he will be using the same words and will testify of Me as he once did before. His spirit will return to earth in order to fulfil the law whereby he has to precede Me in complete awareness of his origin and his task. He understands everything and also knows his earthly fate, which he will not avoid as it is part of the act of Salvation, in which he will participate for love of the unredeemed. He knows that his mission is only fulfilled with his death and has no other desire but for final unification with Me, his Lord and Master, his Friend and Brother, his Father since eternity.

And once he appears the end will be near, for I will follow him shortly and fulfil My proclamations. However, My return will be the final act before the earth's total destruction and everything that lives on it .... Then comes to pass what is written. A new heaven and a new earth will arise where I will dwell in the midst of My Own, where there will only be one shepherd and one flock, because all those who live will be united with Me and allow My presence. For all children on the new earth will be My children to whom I will come Myself to bestow utmost happiness on them ....

Amen

Help of the light beings in spiritual and earthly need ....

B.D. 3464 from March 30th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

In every spiritual adversity the beings of light are ready to help if they are approached; physical adversity, on the other hand, has to be taken upon by people as determined by God's will. Nevertheless, the beings of light also direct earthly events for the soul's benefit if they are approached for help. They exert their influence on the human being's thoughts and convey strength to him, they make him, as it were, able to overcome everything difficult without harming his soul. For the soul is entrusted to their special protection, and they nurture and care for it throughout its earthly life so that it will reach its aim, eternal life ....

And earthly life unfolds in a way that is best for the soul. The beings of light immediately comply with every spiritual request, earthly requests, however, must be in accordance with God's will otherwise they cannot be fulfilled by the beings of light. Earthly adversity is only the result of spiritual hardship, and as soon as the human being is accessible to the instructions which are mentally conveyed to him by these beings he need no longer fear earthly hardship either, for they will be remedied in accordance with the human being's spiritual docility .... In times of greatest spiritual hardship for the whole of humanity the individual human being also has to accept suffering and hardship, even though he strives spiritually and strives to comply with God's will. Yet this time of adversity has been foreseen since eternity and embodies people whose souls need strong purification fires in order to be able to enter the spiritual kingdom without slag. And their path on earth has been mapped out and entered with the soul's consent before embodiment in the realization that the prescribed earthly life can bring them redemption from all bondage. Moreover, the spiritual guardians are constantly at its side, giving it strength when it needs and requests it. And therefore those beings of light should constantly be called upon for support so that they can carry out their activity unhindered, so that they can give where their gift is desired. For their gifts signify strength of resistance for the human being in all situations of life, both spiritually and earthly .... They help him to have strong faith, they guide his thoughts correctly so that he often and willingly sends them upwards towards God and thus learns to overcome earth. But they are also close to him in earthly adversity, protecting him from the influence of evil, which pushes itself forward in earthly adversity and wants to weaken the human being's faith in God. The body should give up all desire, it should be killed in order to release the soul unhindered, which desires to ascend. And that is why physical hardship is unavoidable, because the aim has to be reached in a far shorter time because the time of the end has come. And this is why humanity has to go through suffering and affliction which seems almost unbearable but which can be endured with strength from God if the human being makes use of it through God's call and the beings of light which are active on His behalf according to His will .... The human being should faithfully and trustingly call upon God for help and it will be given to him as He has promised ....

Amen

Call of the light beings .... executors of God ....

B.D. 6184 from February 5th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Only ever entrust yourselves to the world of light, i.e., connect yourselves in thought with all good spiritual beings who are connected to Me, and you will also be taken into protection by them, for they only act in accordance with My will and are allowed to approach all people who endeavour to live in accordance with My will, who therefore already belong to Me in terms of will and who therefore belong to the great community who serve each other in love .... Your request for help shall always be directed to Me .... but if you know that the inhabitants of the world of light are merely the executors of My will, then you ask nothing else of them than you ask of Me Myself .... that I take care of you and thus instruct My servants to guide you on earth. The beings of light are always willing to help you but they will not do so if you ignore Me, if you call in a kind of superstition to those of whom you don't even know whether they are My servants, whether My strength and My will work through those you call. But as soon as you are intimately united with Me you will, as it were, also be seized by My messengers of light, and you need only trustingly hand yourselves over to them in order to also experience their help, which they provide for you in My will, with My approval and on My instructions. Only I must always be your aim .... Then the beings of light will push you ever more towards Me, they will help you to reach your aim, for all their love also belongs to Me and their work is aimed at guiding the souls to Me .... which you testify through your devotion, so that they will now take hold of you and guide you such that you will safely reach your aim. The awareness of having handed yourselves over to good spiritual forces will make you calm and secure, and you will not need to fear any weakness, for they will flow through you with the strength they receive from Me, they will hand out where there is a lack because they are abundant in light and strength and because love urges them to help the weak. Do not trust in your own strength but confess your weakness to those who are strong and ask them for their help after you have assured yourselves of My love and grace through your prayer .... turn your eyes and your thoughts only to the kingdom where I reign and from that kingdom what you need will come to you, for I have instructed My angels to serve you who are Mine by your will to serve Me and to be active for Me and My kingdom .... And they will serve you if you entrust yourselves to them ....

Words of comfort from the father ....

B.D. 6444 from January 5th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

Whatever suffering and pain you experience in earthly life will help you to achieve perfection if you surrender to My will .... Yet bear in mind that I know everything and that what I allow can always result in good success for your soul. I certainly don't approve of the actions of those who cause you pain or hardship, yet all people have free will and will one day have to answer for this will .... Yet you need not suffer any harm to your soul as a result, you can emerge from all hardship and suffering unscathed but then you will also have a plus, yet always provided that you remain in contact with Me through love, that you don't let yourselves be tempted into thoughts of hatred and revenge but humbly let everything pass you by in the certainty that I know about it and will help you as soon as you turn to Me in prayer .... You have a father in heaven Who loves His children .... Trust in your father with complete faith and you will not be disappointed, for He always knows a way out, no matter how confusing it may seem .... for truly all things are possible to Me .... My adversary's activity also appears strongly, you must always remind yourselves of this .... He wants to get you under his control, he wants you to give up your faith in Me, to detach yourselves from Me and surrender to him through equally bad actions and unkindness .... Do not let yourselves be deceived, wait in patience and trust in My help .... Wherever you are met with hatred, repay it with love; wherever you are hostile, bless in My name, speak My name often and sincerely when you are in need, and you will be inwardly strengthened and have the strength to repay bad with good. In contact with Me, trusting in My help, you will be able to do everything, and My adversary's activity will remain unsuccessful, only pushing you ever more towards Me, Who is your father from eternity .... And after heartfelt prayer hand yourselves over to the beings of light who are only waiting for your call to them, who will now assist you on My behalf but may not do so until they are instructed by Me .... until you approach Me Myself for help .... They are happy to be allowed to help you, and where you yourselves feel too weak their work begins because they are with you to protect and help you as guides on your path through life .... You are never too weak to resist your enemies if only you first take the right path to Me, because then countless helpers will stand by your side but they are not allowed to intervene until they have received the order from Me .... Why then do you want to be timid? There are all kinds of means which will help you in times of need .... you only ever turn to your God with complete trust .... But what benefit your soul can derive from all the trials and sufferings that are imposed on you, that you cannot measure, but one day you will thank Me for the earthly path you had to cover for the sake of your perfection .... which earned you the close bond with Me, which was indeed a crusade for you but unimaginably beneficial if you covered it in My discipleship .... And never forget that no adversity is so great that I cannot remedy it .... One is always at your side and only waits for your call .... And His help will truly not fail to come ....

Amen

Cross-bearing in patience

The soul's hardship necessitates suffering .... 'Father, Your will be done ....'

B.D. 1749 from December 25th 1940, taken from Book No. 27

Infinite trust in divine guidance makes your earthly way of life easy, for you accept everything with a certain calm providing you bear in mind that it was determined by God in this and no other way due to His boundless concern for your soul. Every burden life imposes on you is necessary for the maturing of your soul, and the more you are in need of it the more burdensome it will be. Thus, you should first shape yourselves according to divine will and the suffering will gradually lessen and will finally entirely be taken from you. Practise love, meekness and patience, practise compassion, peacefulness, and always appeal to God for strength to do so and you will rise above everything with ease, you will be a blessing for your surrounding neighbours for they will strive to emulate you .... And your earthly life will become easier, you will have emerged victoriously from the battle against evil and through your appeals for strength have come closer to God. If you want to reach God you must completely hand yourselves over to Him, always pray 'Father, Your will be done ....' You thereby give evidence of your trust in His guidance, you sacrifice your will to Him, you humbly submit yourselves to His will and acknowledge Him as your Father, and then you will have become as it is pleasing to God .... patient, gentle, humble, peaceful, you practise love if you also compassionately turn towards your fellow human being and try to make him live in the same way. It will refine your nature and the soul will become light and bright for it will become ever more capable of absorbing divine light and of spreading it as well.

Therefore, don't complain if you have to suffer, bear everything patiently and know that you still need to suffer, that your soul is still distressed and that God in His love wants to help you and release it from its still oppressing shell ....The soul is still struggling for its freedom; it is still constrained by a force which refuses to set it free. Its own will is still too weak, and in order to strengthen its will it must call upon God for strength. If it fails to do so of its own accord then God must encourage it through suffering to turn to Him for help .... And it often takes an unbelievably long time before the soul takes the path to God, and just as long it will have to suffer and endure a depressing state. And yet it would be so easy to release itself from it, however, it often gives way to the adversary's urging and revolts against its fate, it grumbles and complains and therefore cannot be released from suffering either .... And your mistake rests in the fact that you do not recognise God's love and are grateful to Him that He wants to lead you into higher spheres .... If you believe in His love it will also be easy for you to confide in Him and every day, regardless how distressing it may be, will be a blessing for your soul and beneficial for your spiritual higher development ....

Amen

Blessing of sufferings and hardships for the people ....

B.D. 8046 from November 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 85

He who created you also knows about all your weaknesses and needs, spiritual and physical .... and He will also be able to remedy them at any time .... But do you know what serves you for your perfection? Nothing is futile that I allow, and it only ever requires your right attitude towards Me, and your soul will benefit from everything that happens, from every physical and spiritual weakness, for it will then always turn to Me and entrust itself to Me .... and it then establishes a bond with Me which enables Me to turn strength to it again .... And as soon as the purpose is achieved that you have entered into the close bond with Me I can also remedy your hardship and suffering, and I will also do so in order to prove to you the love of your God and creator Who wants to be your father and also be recognized by you as 'father'. And therefore trustingly hand yourselves over to Me and believe that I will turn everything into the best for you, even if you are sometimes unable to comprehend My working. The time you humans have left until the end is getting shorter and shorter .... Everyone has to reckon with being suddenly called away, and then he will thank Me that I gave him the opportunity beforehand where he could still perfect himself, where his soul could purify itself and he already acquired a degree of light on earth. For no one knows when his hour has come .... But there is not much time left for any of you humans, for the end is near. But I know every person's will and his degree of maturity, and whatever I can still do Myself to increase the latter I will truly not refrain from doing. And if it means suffering and hardship for you I will only try to strengthen your bond with Me, and truly, everything will serve you for the best. But I will also help you earthly, I will strengthen your body and keep it fit as long as you want to serve Me, just as I will always support you with My love and grace, whatever may come. You should only trust Me and come to Me with all your needs, because only the bond with Me is your salvation, because this bond with Me signifies the passed test of will for the purpose of which you live on earth. People, however, would think little of Me if their earthly life were always calm and peaceful; their thoughts would only ever be worldly and turned towards pleasure .... But they shall find their way to Me, and therefore I have to bring Myself to their remembrance again and again, namely through suffering and hardship of all kinds which make them remember Him Who is powerful and rules heaven and earth .... Only then will they seek the bond with Me, and only then will they fulfil their purpose of earthly life .... But again and again I tell you that you can also ask Me to turn away what distresses you .... For I want to reveal Myself to you in My love and power .... I want you to recognize a God Who acts towards you as a father, Who also wants to prove His love to you so that you will also show love to Him. And the more trustingly you come to Me the sooner I will hear your prayer, for I will not let a true faith go to waste ....

Amen

Bearing the cross in patience and surrender ....

B.D. 1806 from February 11th 1941, taken from Book No. 27

Unlimited possibilities open up to the human being as long as he is willing to shape himself according to God's will, that is, as long as he consciously works on his soul. From the hour of realizing that his purpose on earth is the higher education of his soul, his earthly course is an endless series of opportunities where he can attain this spiritual maturity through self-conquest and active neighbourly love. And so his earthly life will bring trials from the very beginning in which he should prove himself .... Nor will it pass him by without a fight, but it is precisely in the struggle that his will will be strengthened and his strength increased. So life will appear to him to consist of opposition and hardship much sooner than he will be able to indulge in unclouded joy of life. These are the first cliffs on which his little ship of life must not be wrecked; he must steer it round all cliffs with a sure hand and with faithful trust in God, only then will he prove himself and utilize the opportunities for higher spiritual development. Jesus Christ Himself made it a task for people with the words: Whoever wants to follow Me must willingly take up his cross .... He does not say that He wants to take away their cross, that He wants to relieve them; on the contrary, He announces to them that following Jesus consists of bearing the cross that He imposes on people. The unspeakable suffering that Jesus Christ took upon Himself was the atonement for mankind's great guilt of sin. He bore His cross without grumbling or complaining. What He endured for mankind thus cancelled their guilt, as it were. Whoever wants to follow Jesus must therefore also atone for sinful humanity, i.e. bear the suffering that humanity has brought upon itself through sin. Love for one's fellow human being should now move the person to bear suffering for his sin, i.e. to reduce the guilt of sin through suffering and thereby be active on earth in a redeeming way. And the loving person will also always be willing to do so, for his soul knows about the downtrodden situation of those who are entangled in great guilt of sin and wants to help them. And therefore every loving person will not rebel against divine will if the latter imposes a cross on him and his earthly life no longer passes by in quiet peacefulness. He knows that an existence without a fight would not be suitable for the soul's higher development and thus he will not rebel either, even if the cross seems unbearable to him. And therefore the human being should not be despondent if his life appears to be more difficult than that of his fellow human being, yet God does not impose a heavier fate on the human being than he can endure, and it is the strength from God which makes this cross easier for him .... It is the supply of strength which man can consciously ask for, but which must also be asked for .... But then every cross, no matter how heavy it seems, is no longer as heavy a burden as before. But taking up the cross of Christ means submitting to everything that God sends upon man without grumbling or resistance. For the slightest resistance cancels out the working of divine power, and the human being must struggle hard so that he can remain victorious in the battle of life and already be able to be redemptively active on earth .... He only ever has to recognize God's love in all suffering, in the cross imposed on him, which wants to let the human being attain spiritual perfection and is the quickest and surest way to take up the cross in all patience and submission to God's will and to follow the divine lord and saviour ....

Amen

Walk to the cross .... cross bearer Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 6378 from October 15th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

Carry your cross in patience, for it is no heavier than you are capable of carrying .... No-one needs to collapse under the burden of his cross because there is one Who helps him carry it if only he calls upon this one, if he is aware of his weakness and trustingly goes to Him Who can and does give him strength and fortification as soon as He is approached for it. But anyone who believes that he does not need divine help, who feels strong enough himself, who does not want to acknowledge a lord above him, will very often feel the burden of the cross, for I Myself influence such people through this burden of the cross in order to make their path to Me easier, because I have to demand their acknowledgement in order to be able to prepare a blissful life for them one day. Bear your cross with patience, for then you will already be walking a path of the cross which can be a blessing for you. But you can also become inflamed and indignant against your fate .... Then you will be in grave danger, for then you will already be My adversary's prey when help comes to you strikingly quickly, when you are relieved of every burden, for then he will help you because you rebel against Me, Who imposed the cross upon you for your salvation. I walked the path to the cross for you, I Myself collapsed under the burden of the cross because it was immeasurably heavy .... but I did it for you so that you should not have to bear such a heavy burden, that it should be bearable for you at all times .... Therefore I walk beside you as an invisible cross-bearer, and every help-seeking turn to Me will also find Me ready to take the burden off you. Yet anyone who walks along stubbornly, who does not make use of My help, will always feel it more heavily .... But his own will determines the weight of his burden of the cross .... and the human being should beware of calling upon him through unwillingness and arrogant attitude, who is only waiting for the moment when he can step in but who does not want to offer help but only wants to ruin you .... I have gone ahead of you the way and I keep calling you to follow Me .... I have reached My aim by uniting Myself as the human being Jesus with the father, Who took possession of My body and filled Me with light and strength .... Your path, too, can lead to this aim, you, too, could attain immeasurable bliss if you endeavour to follow Me, but this also entails carrying the burden of the cross .... But you need not walk alone, in Me you always have a companion Who supports you and helps you carry your burden as soon as you consciously entrust yourselves to Me and request My help .... But you will achieve little progress if your earthly life is easy and carefree, if you don't free your soul from dross by carrying the burden of the cross, which will hinder the soul's illumination for a very long time. You should release your soul from these drosses, which will not be difficult for you if you call upon the divine redeemer Jesus Christ for help .... But for this reason I place a cross upon you humans so that you may remember Him .... Through the burden of the cross I want to call you to Me, you who are too lukewarm to take the path to Me .... I will bring to your remembrance what I have done for you through My cross, through My suffering and dying on the cross .... As long as you are well on earth, you remember little of My greatest deed of love .... Only when the cross weighs you down do you turn your eyes to Me, and then you also acknowledge Me when you ask Me for help .... Then you consciously take the path of following Jesus when you bow down to My will, when you remember My crucifixion, My immense suffering but also My love which sacrificed itself for you ....

Amen

Draw strength from God’s word!

'Draw strength from My Word ....' Prediction ....

B.D. 1511 from July 9th 1940, taken from Book No. 24

You should all draw strength from this Word of Mine. Consider that I Am coming down to you Myself in order to grant you support in your battle of life .... realise the fact that I will not leave My Own without comfort and strength if they are in need of it. Don't be content with only using My strength once, but want it all the time and it will flow to you in abundance. And thus I want to inform you yet again that you will be in desperate need of this strength, because the hour is not far-off which will deprive you of all sense of security, the hour which should bring you close to Me if only you would think of Me in your adversity. Then you will definitely raise your hands to Me in prayer and appeal for My help, and it will be granted to those who respond to My call, which you can only perceive in your heart. You will feel My presence, you will realise the gravity of the situation you are in, and that will make you take refuge in Me.

Remain faithfully devoted to Me in this adversity and it will pass you by. And draw strength and comfort from this Word of Mine in advance .... Accept Me in your hearts beforehand, lessen your resistance to Me by consciously handing your will over to Me, and don't doubt but believe, for this faith will keep the immense adversity at bay even if you are in the midst of the event. For the sake of the world My omnipotence has to be clearly recognisable to everyone, for the sake of the world this major event will come upon you, revealing to you My will and My omnipotence. And its effect can only be eased with those who believe and trustingly confide their hardship in Me, for My will controls life and death, and My will lets people suffer if it is necessary or spares them if they hand themselves over to Me.

And My will shall also shape happenings such that events shall only mildly affect My Own who are loyally devoted to Me. For it has to befall humankind in order to lead them back to Me, as far as it is still possible and the souls are not yet entirely hardened and deluded. I Am concerned about these souls and therefore use the last means, which appears to be cruel and yet offers the only prospect for their salvation. In order to make this hour bearable for My Own I give them comfort and strength through My Word in advance. Anyone who allows himself to be influenced by it will not fear the occasion. He knows about My love and care and puts his complete trust in Me .... he will not anxiously await the day but be fully confident of being led through all horrors. For I know My Own and My Own know Me ....

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Strengthening the will .... receiving power through the word ....

B.D. 5128 from May 10th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

You will always need strengthening so that you can offer resistance to the one who tries to pull you down into the depths .... Your will is weakened and can only be strengthened by Me, and you should consciously request this, then you will also be able to withstand all temptations of body and soul. The adversary works with cunning and force and you are no match for his power as long as you are on your own. Then you will certainly be defeated; yet you can defend yourselves, you can triumph over satan if you obtain strength from above, if you appeal to Me for strength and receive it through My word .... Make an attempt, go into silence in the soul's distress and immerse yourselves in My word with faithful trust in Me, then you will experience My direct working in yourselves .... You will be flooded with strength and lose all fear. Then you will have become master over satan and he will no longer be able to harm you. You often have to strengthen yourselves through My word, for it is the right food and the right drink for the soul which then exerts the right influence on the body, so that the human being feels strengthened mentally and physically, so that all restlessness falls away from him, thus he is spiritually and physically strengthened through My strength.

You, who are in possession of My word from above, have no reason to complain about lack of strength, you are direct recipients of the strength from above, because My word is blessed with My strength and there need not be any lack of strength for you if only you immerse yourselves in My word and thus intimately unite with Me and thus the strength can flow over to you. My word is the spiritual emanation of My eternal love and therefore can only have a life-awakening effect; furthermore, My word is the evidence of My presence, thus this evidence must also make you strong in faith that you can overrule all resistance, that you are able to banish the one who wants to tempt you .... You will always be stronger than your tempter as long as you let My word's strength take effect in you, as long as you immerse yourselves in My word by believing in My presence and thus let Me speak to you directly .... , then all weakness will pass away, then you will be strengthened by the strength from Me which is received by you with the word and lets you become a strong being which is able to offer all resistance and withstand all temptation. For I am with you with My word and every evil power gives way to Me, including the one who is My adversary and thus your enemy and who wants to win you over by exploiting your weakness so that you will fall. But I support you, and if you hold on to Me you will never sink, no matter how shaky the ground you stand on may be ....

Amen

Power and effect of the divine word ....

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

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

Amen

Striving for the presence of God

Power of the spirit shortly before the end ....

B.D. 5281 from December 26th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

The power of the spirit will burst forth with all-conquering might. Then My own will bear witness to Me and My glory, but also to people's sin and darkness, who would certainly like to conceal it but who will see it ruthlessly exposed by the spirit from My own. My spirit will become effective to such an extent that even the opponents will take notice of the unusual activity by the servants of light. But this will only cause an increased will to defend themselves, for satan impels them to work against My own. The light and the darkness are obviously fighting each other, and this is the sign of the end, that the battle will no longer be waged in secret but in public and that it is considered good and right that the faith in Me is declared a battle. Then My adversary believes he has won his game .... Then the battle will flare up so fiercely that the world of light will also intervene and an incessant influx of strength from the spiritual kingdom will be recognizable, for My own will no longer be timid or afraid of the threats and decrees on the part of earthly power, they will be so filled with the strength of My spirit that they will testify vividly with a power of persuasion which will fill all people with astonishment and also still change a few in the last hour. For I am no longer a distant God to My own, I have truly become a father to My own, to Whom they trustingly cast their hearts, Whom they childishly call upon for help and Whom they confess before the world in every hour with unshakeable faith and courage. My spirit will work so obviously and the strength of My spirit will flood My own that they will remain steadfast and lose all fear and timidity in the joyful certainty of My coming. And I will come to them, visibly or tangibly, and strengthen, comfort and encourage them, I will be with them and give ever new signs of My presence, because the final battle of faith requires great strength from My own and this strength can only be exceptionally supplied to them through Me Myself. Then signs and miracles will happen as proclaimed, yet the strength of My spirit will bring them about, for in the last days these miracles will no longer signify compulsory faith, only strengthening for My own and judgment for My adversaries who will not be changed in their thinking and striving even by such evidence of My divine influence, who fully consciously hand themselves over to satan for the sake of earthly possessions, who take action against My own in order to serve him .... And they will receive their reward .... they will have to share the fate of the one who is My adversary, who will be bound on the day of judgment when I fetch My own to Me into My kingdom ....

Amen

God's presence ....

B.D. 6327 from August 7th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

Wherever two or three come together in My name, there I am in the midst of them. Therefore My presence is certain for all of you who remember Me when you are gathered in a small circle, for I know about your thoughts which are meant for Me, and every thought of Me also draws Me to you .... And let it be said to all of you that My caring fatherly eye watches over you, no matter what situation you find yourselves in, for I know My small flock and whose thoughts were once directed towards Me with longing love I will always look after him in order to win him over completely while he is still on earth. Don't believe that I will let one of you fall, for your father is faithful and He will not abandon you even if you turn away from Him at times .... Then My strong arm will embrace you and imperceptibly turn you back again until you completely surrender to Me and only desire My constant presence. And I have promised you this presence of Mine, and you need only remember Me, you need only let Me become the content of your speech, then I will stay with you invisibly and intervene in your thoughts and speeches .... For a father likes to hear His children speak about Him, and His love will always let Him step into the midst of His children in order to instruct them and guide them on all paths. Always remember that you came forth from My love and that this love is an unbreakable bond which you once wanted to sever of your own accord but which is indissoluble and draws Me to you again and again, even if I have to keep Myself hidden from you because you still want to turn away from Me. But how much more does a call from My child .... and your willingness to accept Me into your circle .... mean to Me, which you humans testify to by being together in My name in order to hold spiritual conversations, to exchange ideas and to draw strength from My address ....? Then I will be with you in the word and you can speak with conviction of My presence. And thus I will send you words of love and assure you all comfort and help when you are in spiritual and earthly adversity .... You always have Me to Whom you can turn your thoughts, and if only you turn to Me with childlike trust your call will not go unheard .... You only have to consciously want My presence .... and I will always be with you .... Therefore, always make an effort to create opportunities for spiritual exchange and willingly open your heart when I speak to you .... And you will all have such opportunities, for I bring people together to whom I want to bring My word, and I can influence people everywhere and at any time so that they remember Me and faithfully speak My name .... And then open your ears and heart, for then I Myself am present to you, and in My presence you can all feel safe, and an address from Me will always bring you blessings .... And this address can also take place mentally, but you will never walk away empty-handed where two or three were gathered in My name, for there I was also and poured out My spirit upon you ....

Let God always be present to you ....

B.D. 6458 from January 23rd 1956, taken from Book No. 69

Carry all your concerns to Me and full of trust you can expect My help .... In times of earthly adversity you should remember these words so that they don't depress you and make you unable to meet all the demands life places on you as well as to cope with spiritual work. As soon as you have handed everything over to Me in trust in My help, I will also take over your worries, and I will truly not let you ask in vain. Once you have achieved this strength of faith to submit every adversity and worry to Me and then let Me take care of you, nothing will frighten you anymore, no matter what happens to people, for your confidence in My help will not make anything seem so difficult that you will be afraid .... And such faith will be necessary in the time to come. Although I will always protect My own, not everything can pass them by without touching them, yet it can be mitigated or completely overcome by them themselves if they immediately think of Me and entrust their hardship and thoughts to Me Myself. And I want to make you all always feel Me close to you because then you will be relieved of all adversity. I am with you whenever you turn your thoughts towards Me. And therefore no event on earth shall influence you such that you exclude Me from your thoughts .... This is what you must practice, what you must never forget, that you yourselves secure My presence through your constant contact with Me .... And if I am present to you then nothing more can happen to you, then nothing more can burden you, for I Myself carry your burden because you hand it over to Me. The coming time will make great demands on you, spiritually as well as earthly, for every earthly burden can only be overcome by spiritual means if you humans don't want to hand yourselves over to the one who certainly wants to give you earthly strength but then demands your soul in return. And the temptation is great if you are not aware of this and remain so, that you will then only enjoy a pleasurable life for a short time and then lose everything .... Only the clear realization that you humans are all close to the end can still save you by not succumbing to those temptations but by sincerely joining Me and appealing to Me for help .... and although I will not give you what My adversary offers you, your earthly life will nevertheless be bearable for you, and your strength will increase, and with a bright spirit you will only recognize everything as harbingers of the end, and you will endure in faith in Me and My coming when the time is fulfilled ....

Amen

Presence of God safest protection

B.D. 6657 from September 29th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

You can be certain that My fatherly hand constantly guides you and that you cannot go astray if I Myself am your aim. In times of earthly adversity you often believe that I have withdrawn My guiding hand from you, that I leave you to your fate, and then you become anxious and despondent .... Yet in every adversity of body and soul I am closer to you than ever, I only want you to strive to come closer to Me, that you long for Me, and therefore I seemingly keep Myself hidden in order to awaken the feeling of abandonment in you which then makes you look for Me, that you seek Me and desire to be intimately united with Me. The intimate bond with Me also brings you back the certainty that I am always ready to help. I always walk beside you but at times you are not aware of it because you turn your eyes to the world or because you are too busy with yourselves and therefore don't think of Me. And every lonely walk will frighten you, for then you will also be exposed to harassment on the part of your soul's enemy, which I will not prevent because you should realize that you need Me Who wants to be your protection and shield, your guide and companion. The dangers for you are becoming ever more imminent if you walk your earthly path alone, because the number of your enemies in the last days is immense, and therefore you need ever more of My help and guidance in order to withstand the tribulations. But you humans are not aware of this danger and therefore often careless because you distance yourselves too far from the one Who alone can help you .... And therefore I always remind you of Me through hardship and suffering which you cannot cope with on your own .... because I want you to turn to Me, to let your thoughts wander to Me ever more often, to grant Me a permanent stay with you, but which your will alone only makes possible, that you mentally unite with Me and thereby draw Me to you. The closer it gets to the end the more strongly the world will bind you, not only due to your love for the world, which you may already have overcome, but the demands of the world will still be on you, because every individual has to fulfil his duties in the midst of the world, which often seem unfulfillable to him .... And there is the danger that worldly worries and thoughts will try to displace Me, that you will hardly find time for a quiet hour which you give to Me and therefore neglect to let Me take part in your worries and turn to Me for advice and help, for the allocation of strength for your earthly path of life .... And then you will become weaker and weaker, and yet you could also provide yourselves with ample strength for the most difficult situation in life, because I am always willing to impart it to you if only you ask Me Myself. Let it be said to you that you need not fear any weakness as long as you let Me walk beside you and consciously remain in constant contact with Me. But don't exclude Me from your thoughts, don't let the worries of the world push themselves forward, no matter how great they appear. I certainly have the power to take them away from you but that is why I want to be intimately approached, I always want to be felt as present by you and therefore always be the main content of your thoughts. As soon as you withdraw Me I will also obviously withdraw Myself, and then the world will always oppress you more .... However, if you grasp My hand to guide you through all adversity then your fear and weakness will also leave you, for then you will receive My strength, it will flow into you through the intimate bond you establish with Me .... And I require this intimate bond which, unfortunately, you often sever and thereby cause Me to seemingly withdraw .... You will still need much strength in the coming time, and it will always be at your disposal if only you, like children, reach for the father's hand, Who will safely guide you until you have reached your aim ....

Amen

Constantly calling upon Jesus ensures His presence ....

B.D. 7356 from May 6th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Rest assured that I will not abandon those of you who want to be My Own. Many trials will still come upon you but I Am aware of them and will always stand by your side as protection. Nevertheless, you should do everything in your power in order to stand up to these trials. My adversary is entitled to prove himself on you, because he will only govern this world for a short time longer and will try to hold on to his followers by any means. And he will also notice My Own who had withdrawn themselves from his power and will put them to the test with increased strength. However, you need not be afraid of him, for I will not let My Own be snatched from Me, I will protect My Own from him and his power. You have a reliable means of repelling him by only ever calling upon Me Myself, by voicing My name with profound faith in My help; even if it is just a thought .... But you must always turn to Me Myself, and you will liberate yourselves from him. He has not much power over My Own anymore, because your love for Me repels everything, no matter what he does to you. However, he frequently uses means which will cause you great difficulties, and yet you need not fear them either if you always bear Me in mind Who, on the cross, carried everything for you that burdened you as guilt of sin. I have redeemed you, I have liberated you from his control, and thus you only need your own will to accept My sacrifice on the cross, to regard it as having been accomplished for you and believe that My adversary will have no more power over you once you have voluntarily handed yourselves over to Me. Remember Me at all hours and you will induce Me to always be present with you .... What can possibly happen to you when I Am close to you? .... You need not be afraid of anything and anyone, for even the usually powerful adversary is powerless once I Am by your side, and the fact that I will remain by your side is entirely determined by your will not to exclude Me from your thoughts, to call upon Me in every adversity and distress and to utter My name in confidence of receiving My assistance, which I promise you at all times. Just let your faith come alive through constant kind-hearted activity and you will no longer be exposed to any adversity, for a living faith banishes every spiritual and earthly adversity, a living faith knows no fear and no failure, a living faith is united work with Me Myself, Who can’t be matched by any opponent, Who is victorious over the greatest enemy and to Whom you should therefore completely hand yourselves over, because then you will be and remain My Own and will never ever have to fear anything again .... For My love belonged to you from the very start and My love will never stop .... And so the Father will also protect His child from all danger threatened by the enemy, He will walk by its side and spread out His hands protectively, and the child’s every path will be smooth so that it will safely reach the goal.

Amen

Courageous confession of Jesus Christ before the world

Name of Jesus shall not be led in vain ....

B.D. 5074 from February 26th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

My name shall not be taken in vain .... This has been given to you humans as a commandment, the observance of which demonstrates love for Me and its non-observance is counted to you as a sin against Me. For My name shall be holy to you, it shall be held in honour in heaven and on earth. Thus My name can be misused but always to the detriment of the soul of the one who tries to disparage Me. Hence My adversary can also allow himself to be abused and speak of Me in a derogatory way, that is, anyone who does not believe in Me, who denies Me, is My adversary and will also speak of Me in a way which hurts the believing person, and one day he will also have to answer for it, for this is an abuse of My name and testifies to opposition against Me. But I will not hinder him if he misuses My name or uses it as a cover for his piety. But as soon as he uses it as confirmation of a lie, as soon as My adversary tries to gain faith by mentioning My name, you yourselves must check extremely carefully whether you give him cause to resort to this means in order to win you over. You must check yourselves whether you yourselves are attracting the one who wants to ruin you for eternity through all kinds of desires and vices. Then his endeavour is to completely destroy your faith in Me, your faith in the deity in Jesus Christ, in His unlimited might and power and His greater than great love .....

(26.2.1951) My name is exceedingly holy and cannot be pronounced by a spirit of the underworld in its deepest meaning, i.e., it cannot be invoked as the name of God, the highest and most perfect being, because that dark being would then also acknowledge Me Myself as its God and father of eternity. But the name can be mentioned as 'only name', and this is a temptation which is often successful. Thus such a being can imagine people under this name but cannot deceive you as God as soon as you ask it to profess itself as God the father or God the son. It should be noted that every dark being will give way as soon as the name of Jesus is held up to it in living faith in Him as God's son and redeemer of the world .... Every evil spirit gives way to Jesus' deity, but the name, which is only lightly invoked as a name, is ineffective, just as, conversely, a being of the underworld can also adopt the name Jesus without wanting to introduce itself as God's son. The word without the spirit is only a dead word, but you humans should pay attention to the spirit and not to the dead letter .... Everything that is true must have life; a being which is in the night of death will never comprehend the full truth and thus also not the exceedingly great holiness of My name, thus it will also utter My name completely without realization, certainly in order to deceive people but unaware of where the deception lies, for it only utters a false name in order not to need to mention its own name, but it cannot grasp at all whose name it utters. Nevertheless, My name can be held up to such a being in profound faith in Me and it will flee the light and no longer oppress the human being. But you humans have to carry out the test yourselves .... you have to know whether you unite with Me so deeply and intimately that you allow Me Myself to be present in you. Then you will not have to fear any deception by dishonest spiritual beings .... And if you feel distressed or doubt Me, then call upon My name with faithful trust and deep devotion and I will chase every dark being away from you because you use the weapon I have recommended to you .... For no being will be able to withstand My name if it is not yet redeemed ....

Amen

Fight with the sword of the mouth ....

B.D. 6112 from November 18th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I will bring you peace .... and yet also the sword again .... But you should not fight in such a way that you harm your fellow human being, that he has to suffer physically and mentally, but your fight should only help your fellow human being to find peace within himself .... Your fight should be against lies and error, against darkness, which you can certainly chase away if you fight with the sword of your mouth .... when you speak in My name. If you have the earnest will to be fighters for Me and My Kingdom, then you will speak, driven by My spirit, then you will not need to consider what you speak, but "I will put it in your mouth ...." and you will fight with the sword of the mouth, because I Myself wield the blade .... But far be it from you to fight with a weapon in your hand .... For such a fight is against love, and without love you will never be able to give peace, but only put the human heart into turmoil, and hatred and unkindness will seek retribution .... Believe Me that you will have to prepare yourselves for a hard battle, for you will be attacked by portraying what you believe as empty and untrustworthy and thus demanding your defence .... And then you will only have to trust in Me that I will guide you right .... And if you are on My side then you will also receive enlightenment from My side .... then you will speak in My sense because you will defend Me and My name, and then you will be true fighters for Me who have peace within themselves and can also bring it to their fellow human beings. For I alone can bring peace into people's hearts, yet every peace is preceded by a battle, and I will make you all suitable for this battle if only you join the army of My fighters and acknowledge Me as your commander .... The battle you fight for Me and in My name is and always remains a holy battle to which I call you, whereas a battle with a weapon in your hand is not My will as long as it is only waged out of lust for power and self-love, as long as it has to be denied any noble motive .... Fight with the sword of your mouth as My adversary attacks you .... fight the battle against darkness, against untruth .... then you will be fighting for a just cause and My support is assured for you ....

Amen

Public confession during the battle of faith ....

B.D. 8727 from January 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You, who will experience the time of the battle of faith, will be subject to great demands when you have to decide for or against Me .... For you will have to confess publicly, and that means that you either have to deny Me completely or stand up for Me with conviction. And you will be forced by brutal means to make a decision, which you will fear if your faith in Me is not strong enough so that you will only ever abide in Me with full trust, and I will not disappoint your faith. Precisely this battle of faith will still have to be waged before the end, because only then will the separation of the goats from the sheep take place, for then the flock of My Own will have emerged whom My adversary will be unable to sway because they possess a living faith and are not mere Christians who only adhere to formalities, who will fail in the final battle. The enemy's coercive measures will indeed be such that people believe that they must comply if they want to go on living .... yet anyone with a living faith knows that everything is possible to Me, that I can even maintain people beyond the law, since nothing is impossible for Me and since for the believer it is no longer compulsive faith. However, you must not reach a compromise by believing that you can preserve Me in your hearts and deny Me in public, for I have demanded that you profess Me before the world so that I then will also be able to acknowledge you in the kingdom of the beyond.

My adversary will use unusual procedures in order to repeal Me, or so he believes, and this is the time when all power will be taken from him again, because he is only using it against Me and oversteps his authority as soon as he wants to render Me ineffective .... You will have to muster a great deal of strength, yet this strength will flow to My Own, they will draw strength from their strong faith; they know that I Am present to them, and this conviction will also enable them to openly stand up for Me and My name. Regardless of how fierce the attacks will be, regardless of how brutal the proceedings .... with My support you will be able to endure everything, for I will not abandon you, if only you have the will to persevere until the end. I know what you are capable of bearing, and accordingly you will be surrounded by My angels, who will protect you in this final battle. Just do not deceive yourselves in believing that I Am satisfied when you confess Me in your hearts, for you shall give evidence of your living faith in Me, which can only ever be produced by My Own whose faith has come alive through a life of love .... But any Christian who merely observes formalities, who lives without love despite the fact that he belongs to a church organisation, will be thrown into doubt about his former outlook and faith, and he will quickly give up his faith for the sake of earthly advantages.

And this will be the greatest temptation which people will ever have had to endure .... that all livelihood will be withheld from them if they remain faithful to Me .... whereas, on the other hand, everything will be granted to them and they will gain worldly advantages if they deny Me .... which will not be too difficult for most people since their faith had not yet come alive and therefore everything appears to be doubtful to them now. For My adversary knows how to confuse all spiritual correlations, and lack of love also means lack of realisation .... And without a second thought people will renounce what they so far possessed .... a dead Christendom, and more than ever turn towards the world which fully makes up for what they had surrendered .... And then the separation will have taken place, for then there will only be two camps .... utterly devoted people to Me, which also enjoy My evident protection, and a host of unbelievers adhering to My adversary who will soon experience the last Judgement, which will conclude the battle of faith .... For I will come Myself in order to fetch My Own and carry out the transformation of the earth's surface, which means the banishment of people who fail in the last battle on this earth ....

Amen

Trust of the vineyard workers in God’s guidance

Address of God to the disciples of the last days ....

B.D. 7868 from April 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Nothing shall hold you back from standing up for Me and My word; you should always be ready to testify of Me if you want to be true servants to Me who proclaim My gospel to people .... You should mention My gifts of grace, My working in you, which you can prove through the abundance of spiritual knowledge, for you will not need to fear any objection which you cannot refute, because then you speak on My behalf and your spirit is guided by Me. Great spiritual knowledge has been conveyed to you through the working of My spirit within you, and if possible you should also convey this knowledge to your fellow human beings, and especially to those who do not oppose you, who willingly listen to you, for it is then up to their will how they utilize this knowledge. You should pass on this knowledge wherever possible, for what has been given to you by Me truly has its strength within itself and must also have a beneficial effect unless My gift of grace is opposed by a defence which renders its strength ineffective. And you should not tire of working for Me and My kingdom, for this work alone will result in everlasting possessions because it is done for people's souls. And you should always emphasize Jesus Christ's act of salvation and stress that it is repeatedly mentioned by Me, that the redemption through Jesus Christ is the main content of the spiritual knowledge I impart to you .... You should emphasize how important the problem of redemption and becoming human is and that no person can become blessed who lives without Jesus Christ and departs from earth without Him. But you should also explain to your fellow human beings why Jesus came to earth and what His actual mission was .... You should constantly be active for Me and My kingdom, for this alone is necessary that people seek contact with Me, that they direct their thoughts into the kingdom which is not of this world .... that they don't just remain attached to the world but that people remember their actual purpose of earthly life .... You, My servants, have been informed of everything, and you are constantly instructed so that you, too, can teach according to the truth, so that you can pass on the spiritual knowledge which is intended to be a blessing for you humans .... For I alone know why I convey this gift of grace to you, I alone know what you need, what you must know in order to attune yourselves correctly to Me, in order to successfully travel the earthly path for your soul's maturity .... I was able to reveal Myself to you, My servants, because your will allowed it. Yet not all people can receive these revelations directly, and you should be mediators for them so that they, too, can partake of the blessings if they are willing to listen to you, if they don't completely unbelievingly reject everything that is offered to them. Humanity is in great spiritual hardship because it lives in complete ignorance or has been instructed in wrong knowledge and lacks the truth .... therefore I want to bring them the truth so that they can believe with conviction .... for only the truth can trigger this conviction in them. You are in possession of truth and you shall carry it on .... And anyone of good will will also recognize the value of what you bring to them, for My word speaks for itself, My word has strength and is able to touch people's hearts so that they strike Me, so that they feel My flow of grace beneficially and turn towards Me and I Myself can then take hold of them in order to never let them go again forever .... I send you, My disciples of the last days, out into the world again .... i.e., I give you the task to spread My gospel again, which you receive from Me yourselves, and I will always bless your work, you will be able to carry it out for Me because I also supply you with the strength to be able to work for Me. For you are My mediators, you are My servants in My vineyard, and truly, your father of the house will always assign you the work so that you will be able to do it .... I will take care of you spiritually and bodily, and you need only earnestly want and your work will be successful .... You will find open hearts, you will not knock at the doors in vain, for you will walk the paths where I guide you, because I know who opens himself to My address, who desires My word and whose souls can be nourished because they are of good will ...._>Amen

The endtime disciples’ faith without proof ....

B.D. 5951 from May 7th 1954, taken from Book No. 64

I expect you, My endtime disciples, to possess strong faith, a faith which convincingly professes Me before the world. This can only be done by people who are in heartfelt contact with Me, because only this contact will result in strengthening their faith to the necessary degree, whereas other people will easily abandon Me because they will find it difficult to have faith at a time which is so far removed from My lifetime on earth that only very little positive evidence can be produced about My life and death, about My life on earth and My path of suffering .... Hence a person must have particularly strong faith if he wants to profess Me before the world. My disciples, at the time of My life on earth, saw Me, they lived with Me and witnessed countless miraculous works; they were able to hear Me every day and were taught by Me; they were enlightened about everything so it was easy for them to believe in Me and My mission .... Yet, despite the obvious evidence of My Divinity, they also failed occasionally .... However, after My death they were so permeated by My spirit that they were able to fulfil their task of carrying the Gospel into the world and therefore also advocated Me with conviction .... But what is the situation with My endtime disciples? They were unable to see and experience anything, they do not witness My visible presence, they must simply believe what they were told about Me .... Nevertheless, My endtime disciples are not without strength and they, too, recognise My working, I also reveal Myself to them in spirit .... which precisely presupposes the heartfelt bond with Me .... I consider them to an exceptional degree because I expect an exceptional faith from them and take the fact into account that their only foundation was imparted knowledge in order to arrive at a convinced faith and that they therefore require exceptional support if they want to accomplish their assigned mission .... of proclaiming My Gospel to people during the last days before the end. I expect much of these last disciples of Mine, for they must solely believe in the Word, they must bear up to all counterarguments which portray My life on earth and My mission as implausible .... They must only believe .... But I bless them for this and tell them again: The last will be the first .... for their mission is a significant one, since it is, after all, essential to still save souls before the end, to introduce these to Jesus Christ as well, so that they will not pass away from this earth unredeemed .... They must stand up for Me, for their Father and Redeemer, they must profess Me before the world when Satan runs against the bastion of faith with all his might .... Then they must prove themselves and their faith in Me, then they must loudly profess My name in public, because this name alone is the power to eliminate Satan’s activity and to render him harmless .... I expect a strong faith from these last disciples of Mine, yet they are not alone in the battle against the enemy .... I Myself will be with them, because their faith allows Me to be present and thus they will be victorious .... and all those who follow My disciples and likewise profess My name before the world.

Amen

Fearless work for the kingdom of God and courageous confession ....

B.D. 3633 from December 22nd 1945, taken from Book No. 46

In My name you shall be active on earth .... Don't shrink back when the world approaches you, commanding you to deny Me and My name, but know that I am stronger than earthly rulers, that I can also break their power in an instant. And therefore profess Me and courageously stand up for Me and My teaching, for this is necessary in the coming time, that people will be instructed, that they will be enlightened as to the disaster they are facing if they don't adhere to Me, if they don't fulfil My commandments and believe in Me and My act of salvation. You will find little faith, little understanding and have to reap much scorn and ridicule, you will often preach to deaf ears, for people are no longer in contact with Me and therefore do not recognize Me when I speak to them through you, and everything you say seems unreal, fantastic to them and therefore they do not accept it. But you should stand all the firmer in your faith in Me, you should shape yourselves ever more powerfully through constant activity of love and fear nothing that approaches you from outside. If you remain in spiritual contact with Me and My kingdom you will feel strength within yourselves and thus be industrious workers for Me. I can only rarely work through willing servants who are devoted to Me, I only rarely find open hearts which accept My word and take it to heart. And therefore I need every human being in the coming time to work for Me and My kingdom. You will likewise only be able to fulfil the earthly demands made on you with My support, and this shall be constant proof to you that I am with you at all times, that you have a support in Me which is stronger than earthly power. And therefore, if the desire of these is directed against My commandments, if it applies to the denial of My name, then offer resistance and don't fear that it could weaken, that the world is stronger and could bring you down. For I am constantly with you, I speak through you, I guide you all ways and lead you to those whom I Myself want to influence through you. Be courageous confessors of My name, represent My teaching to the world, preach love and reproach people that unkindness and hatred will plunge them into ruin, that they are the signs of satan’s activity to which they will fall hopelessly if they don't repent and accept My teaching, if they don't live according to My teaching, keep My commandments and try to establish contact with Me. Speak what your heart tells you and don't be afraid, for it is I Who speaks through you and Who will also protect you in every danger of body and soul. And if My will allows you to lose your earthly life, you will truly exchange it for a life in eternity which will fully compensate you for everything, for My love will reward you for your work for My kingdom for all eternity ....

Amen

God-inclined will assures His guidance ....

B.D. 7119 from May 15th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

You are guided through your earthly life, the beings of light to whom you are entrusted during your life on earth take care of you, and you can also always choose Me as your guide, you can consciously take refuge in Me and appeal for My guidance .... thus, as human beings, you are not defencelessly left at the mercy of the powers of darkness, you cannot be overpowered by them against your will even if you, as human beings, are weak, for you need only call for help and you will certainly receive it. But precisely this will is free, neither the beings of darkness nor of light may infringe upon it, they must allow you complete freedom as to the direction you give to this will. But you can also be certain of receiving help if your will is inclined towards Me .... And precisely because your earthly life concerns the fact that your will should aim in the right direction, but since I love you and long for your return to Me, I will therefore only send that upon you humans which might impel you towards Me .... as long as you are still undecided .... However, once this decision of will has been taken you can travel your earthly path in blissful certainty and complete peace. Time and again I want you to know that I will not let you fall again, that I will not leave you at the mercy of the adversary, that I will protect you against all onslaughts and temptation as soon as you want to belong to Me .... For in that case it entitles all your spiritual guardians to intervene and to grant you protection against the dark forces. Then your soul will have nothing to fear anymore, for a will inclined towards Me is your best weapon against the enemy, it will always call upon Me when danger threatens and I will always avert this danger.

If, therefore, a person is willing to work for Me and My kingdom he will also have offered his services to Me, thus he has handed himself over to Me of his own free will .... And as long as he is willing to eagerly render this vineyard work, his will also belongs to Me alone .... Then he is also perfectly entitled to know that he is protected and cared for by Me, by all spiritual beings which are of service to Me. All worries can leave him and he can even remain unimpressed by earthly onslaughts since, as My servant, he will also experience My care for Him as Caretaker, which will sort everything out beneficially. Anyone who wants to belong to Me is indeed My Own, and anyone who is Mine should also trustingly hand himself over to Me and put all burden and adversity upon My shoulders, which I will truly take off him because he has become My Own. Nevertheless, it must also be said that you increase such earthly adversities yourselves the more fearful and less faithful you become .... that your doubts regarding your faith or your worries about your earthly well-being will only ever burden you more .... because through them you distance yourselves from Me .... I expect complete trust from you so as not to disappoint it, but you often weaken My activity of love in you yourselves .... You don't allow for it, precisely because of your unjustified worries and doubts in My help. You must become like children who believingly accept the Father's every Word and subsequently also rely on Him, because they know that the Father loves His child .... Nothing must frighten you, nothing must make you scared, for there is One above you Who watches over you and instructs His servants to protect you .... And you should only want to love this One and belong to Him, He will truly help you in every adversity of body and soul ....

Amen

Trust in divine guidance ....

B.D. 6437 from December 28th 1955, taken from Book No. 69

I guide all of you who want to serve Me, and you will never go your ways alone but by My hand, because you took it voluntarily, because you chose Me as your guide of your own accord. And My guidance will always be such that it will serve you to attain maturity of soul but also the vineyard work you want to do, for I know where and how you can use your strength appropriately because I also know about your will to be faithful servants to Me. And believe Me, you will always know yourselves what you should do, because I speak to you all Myself through the heart .... Just trust Me fully that I will give you the right instructions when the time comes, but don't anticipate .... For I will bring everything to you in such a way that you will take it for granted, so that you will then also have the certain feeling that you are acting correctly, for this is My voice in you .... Consider: You want to serve Me .... Is it then not also self-evident that your father of the house also gives you the right instructions for your service? I will never let the strength of a servant who offers himself to Me for service lie idle, because I need all of you and assign to everyone the work he can best do .... As long as you ask and are uncertain, the order has not yet been given to you by Me, for you will feel it clearly and without doubt in your heart and also fulfil it without hesitation .... Let Me take care of you, let Me think for you, and only ever grasp Me by the hand which guides you, so that you safely direct your steps to where I want to take you .... And if I have assigned an unusual task to you, even then everything will approach you in such a way that nothing unusual can be recognized .... For I don't want to determine your will, but if you subordinate it to Mine then you will always want the same as Me, and your thoughts and actions will therefore also be right .... But as long as you still doubt or question, it is not My voice which inwardly gives you the order. Then intimately unite with Me and wait until you have complete clarity, which I will certainly give to you if only you are willing to serve Me. And you will be amazed how everything works itself out and how confidently you are now able to judge. The adversity of the time requires all your commitment, and I call you, My servants on earth, to industrious vineyard work, but I also assign everyone the field of activity he is capable of cultivating. I am the master of the house and My will shall apply to My servants .... because you humans yourselves cannot overlook where and how your strength can best be utilized. And therefore you should always submit yourselves to Me and My instructions .... But then you need never fear to do a wrong job. Open your heart and ear to Me yourselves through your will .... And I will speak to you in such a way that you will understand Me even if you cannot hear My word audibly .... You will feel what I want from you, and therefore you only need to pay attention to your feelings, to the inner voice which urges you or holds you back .... For as soon as you sincerely ask Me for clarification I will truly answer you and you will feel what you have to do or refrain from doing .... so you can at any time carelessly leave yourselves to the guidance of your father in heaven .... He knows the paths you should take for your own and your fellow human beings' salvation ....

Amen

Lack of faith .... assurance of God's help ....

B.D. 4722 from August 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

Prepare yourselves for the great event which I announce again and again. But know that all suffering will pass, even if you believe to collapse under it. Everything will follow one another quickly, there will be a rush of events, and in a short time that will happen, which I point out to you again and again. But how will you bear this difficult time if you don't look up to Me with more faith in the hours of adversity? I know what is coming and want to help you gain the strength of faith which overcomes everything that comes upon you. Just lean firmly on Me, know that you will not find the support on earth that you have in Me if only you believe. I am always there for you, I hear every call, every sigh, I know about every tear, about all sorrow which oppresses you, and I only ever want to call out to you: Why do you trust so little in Me, Who constantly promises you My protection and My help? Why don't you come to Me when you are burdened and threaten to sink under the load? Why is your prayer not so fully trusting that I can help you, that you, so to speak, force My help through the strength of your faith? And if you sincerely want it you can also believe, yet you have to seriously consider My word, you have to move it in your heart, i.e. deeply empathize with its meaning and realize that I am not telling an untruth, that you can therefore fully expect the fulfilment of My promises. Therefore, if I have promised you My help in every adversity of body and soul, think about the fact that I can help you by virtue of My omnipotence, that I want to help you by virtue of My love and that you must not doubt it, for then you will either not recognize My omnipotence or My love, and then you will prevent Me Myself from expressing love and omnipotence, because then you will step out of the right relationship with the child, but which I require in order to be able to reveal Myself in My love and omnipotence. Why are you afraid of the power of the world, why do you let yourselves be oppressed by earthly worries when you have a father in heaven Who can and will take care of everything for you because you are His children? Why don't you have faith in Him, Who constantly gives you proof of His activity and work, if you only look around you? Why is the worldly so much closer to you than I am, why are you afraid, since I am constantly present to you? And how do you then want to bear the heaviness that the future still brings? But I know about your adversity and want to avert it so that you can serve Me as a support when everything around you threatens to shake .... I need you and want to educate you to become strong, fearless representatives of My teaching. And I will achieve it, that is, your faith will become unshakeable and defy all storms. You will experience My help so obviously that all doubt will disappear and your faith will grow stronger .... and you will serve Me until the end ....

Amen

God's guidance .... Worries about the future ....

B.D. 3818 from July 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

I Myself will guide and lead you, and therefore do not fear whatever may come .... My arm is strong and mighty and I carry every burden for you if you trustingly burden Me with it, because you believe in Me. And I constantly walk beside you, I will not leave you alone, and in this certainty you can go every path you have to take according to eternal destiny. It will become easier for you if you know that I Am your constant companion, Whom you can always hold on to and Who will always help you if you are in danger of becoming weak. It is My will that you are safely protected when My Word fulfils itself .... It is My will that you then loudly proclaim Me to all those who listen to you; that you work for Me in the midst of those to which I lead you, for I know who needs you, to whom you should bring help in spiritual adversity. And everything is prepared, which is why you need not worry about the future, for I Myself will take care of you if you work for Me, just as a master takes care of his servants if they are willing and capable labourers for him. I care for you as a father cares for his children if you express your affiliation to Me through your willingness to serve Me. And therefore, leave every worry to Me, for I consider even the smallest needs because I love you and want to help you in the battle of life, so that you devote all your thoughts and endeavours only to your soul, so that you can pursue only the spiritual goal carefree and thus strive upwards. So trustingly place your earthly welfare into My hands .... And I will arrange and order everything as it serves you, and you will recognise My love, My might and My wisdom .... Yet you should not doubt, for only the strength of faith assures you My complete support .... Entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith and I shall truly take care of you now and forever. Always and forever strengthen yourselves with My Word, live with love, watch and pray, and let everything come to you without fear and anxiety and act as you feel urged to do .... I watch over you and will not abandon you, you are under My protection and nothing can happen to you but what is best for your soul. For My will directs all events and My will only allows that which helps you to mature your soul. And My love will make everything bearable for you if only you believe in Me and entrust yourselves to Me carefree ....

Amen

Making use of the power from God ....

B.D. 4532 from January 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

Make use of My strength and prepare yourselves for an extraordinary event which will soon surprise you. Only with My strength are you able to pass the tests which arise from the fact that you spread My word as a mission from above. I will always stand by you, I will not leave you, yet you will find no worldly support, only spiritually striving people recognize you and seek to help you, yet the world prevents them from doing so. But help will obviously come and then you will know that I am at work, that I will never leave you in adversity if only you trust Me. And you should acquire this trust by immersing yourselves in My word as often as you can. Your faith will experience a strengthening which you will never gain if you don't make use of the strength of the word. But in adversity you will feel it if you intimately unite with Me and never have the feeling of being abandoned, of loneliness and helplessness. And then you will fearlessly speak up when you have to answer for yourselves, and My spirit will tell you what you should say. Therefore do not be alarmed when My word is fulfilled in you .... as soon as you have to answer for your spiritual work you can be certain of all protection, even if the world is threatening you. There is only one thing I urge you to do: to draw strength from My word before the world's shameful activity begins, because it fears the power of the word or it would not take action against you. For the world .... i.e. opposition of the spirit .... also shows itself where it pretends to represent Me .... The world is everything that goes against Me, attacks My word from above and thus works against Me. But you are not inferior to this world, for it is My adversary, consequently I stand against it and thus on your side, and with Me you will also be victorious over the strongest opponents and therefore need not fear anyone if you are active in My name for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Childlike trust in the father

God's infinite Fatherly love ....

B.D. 8223 from July 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I want you to establish a relationship with Me like a child with its Father, showing Me love and trust and always being certain that I will help you and never doubting My love. By merely gaining firm faith in My love you will always come to Me like children to the Father, presenting all your difficulties and worries to Me and appealing for My help .... And I will help you .... For I also want to gain your love, because then you will strive towards Me again, Whom you once left of your own free will. Hence you should not let any adversity get you down, instead, present it to Me, your Father of eternity, with complete trust and, truly, you will receive the Father's help, since My love for you is far more profound than any earthly father's love. But precisely the realisation of My infinitely deep love is lacking in you, and thus you doubt and hesitate .... Nevertheless, you once emerged from My love and should firmly believe that you will remain connected to Me for all eternity .... Even if your free will strove away from Me a long time ago, it was unable to sever the bond, otherwise you would have ceased to exist. But that which was once created by Me is everlasting, although temporarily separated from Me of its own will. And it is precisely this free will that you should give to Me by coming to Me with every request and thus entering into the right relationship again which existed between Me and you in the very beginning and which made you indescribably happy. Whenever you think of Me you should always be certain that My love will instantly give itself to you, that I will illuminate you, which you enable Me to do on account of your thoughts being inclined towards Me .... Then you should become convinced of the fact that I Am only interested in your well-being, that I want to shower you with spiritual and physical gifts of grace and only ever require your open hearts .... your inclination towards Me .... which allows Me to take effect in you. My love for you is unlimited and will never end, and therefore I also yearn for you, My living creations, to return to Me as 'children' .... to learn to recognise Me, your Father of eternity, during your earthly progress. And I really make every effort to provide you with a true impression of Me, of My Being and My love for you, so that you can also love this Being with all your heart and with every sense .... I yearned for this love ever since you fell away from Me, yet I will remain patient until you grant Me this love voluntarily .... Yet once you recognise Me correctly, you will not find it difficult to love Me .... If, however, you are taught wrongly, if I Am portrayed to you incorrectly so that you cannot see a God of love but only a vengeful and wrathful God in Me, you will never learn to love Me as your Father .... Therefore you must first be informed of the pure truth, you must be instructed truthfully by your God and Creator, Whose love is infinite and Who is your Father and also wants to be acknowledged by you as Father .... 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ....' Such Words can only be spoken by the One Who loves you and only ever wants what is best for you .... your Father of eternity, Who calls His children to Himself in order to help them in every spiritual and earthly adversity .... And you will experience the proof of My Fatherly love time and again, if you feel like My children and trustingly take the path to the Father .... For every inclination towards Me gives Me the right to take effect in you, otherwise My adversary will push you away from Me and still assert his influence over you, which I cannot deny him as long as you do not defend yourselves against him by calling upon Me, your Father of eternity, thereby giving Me the right to protect you, My children, from him .... My love for you is boundless, and you can always request it, My help is always assured to you when you suffer adversity. And as soon as you are convinced that My love belongs to you, you will also feel like My children and will voluntarily return to Me into your Father's house from which you once originated ....

Amen

‘Become as little children ....’

B.D. 3624 from December 10th 1945, taken from Book No. 46

Become as little children and take refuge with Me in every adversity .... and don’t be afraid, for your heavenly Father does not allow anything to happen that is not beneficial for you. Have faith and trust in Me, your Father of eternity, that I will hold My hands protectively over you and simply regard every ailment of the body as a caring way of helping your soul. However, you should know that the body’s adversity, too, will be cured by Me if you firmly believe in it and recognise My Fatherly love in everything, regardless of what happens. Be as carefree as children and leave it to the Father to take care of you, just make sure you fulfil your heavenly Father’s will and My Fatherly love will take hold of you and draw you to My heart. Don’t ask and speculate fearfully what might become of you, but remain calm and simply wait for the Father’s help if adversity weighs you down. Totally rely on Me Who guides you wherever you go. Your strength rests in your childlike trust and humble prayer, for I will not disappoint this and grant your prayer at all times. Yet do not worry and doubt .... My Fatherly love will save you from every danger and the call of My child will never go unheeded .... But in order to become as children you must relinquish all resistance, you must only ever want Me to lead you by the hand and you must follow Me willingly and never want to take different paths .... And thus you must pray with faithful trust and devotedly rely on Me and then regard every happening as My will .... For it is My will, nothing happens against My will if you commend your problems to Me. Only someone who acts on his own, without having appealed for My blessing and My support, activates his will with appropriate results, yet not always in his favour. I cannot grant My help to him because he would not recognise it as My help but regard it as his own merit. Yet for My children I will even out their every path, even if it appears difficult to travel. Just hand yourselves over to My guidance with complete trust and you will always feel a loving Fatherly hand which will guide you safe and sound through every calamity of this world. And always draw comfort and strength from My Word .... Let the Father speak to His children, and accept every Word of love so that it will impel you to love in turn. Never let the Father’s voice go unheeded but be glad that you may hear it, that the Father thereby reveals His love for you, and follow Him and His Word with joyful zest .... And you will gain My approval, you will feel My Fatherly love increasingly more, you will no longer fear any adversity and be safe and secure in My heart ....

Amen

Childlike trust .... "Come unto Me, all of you ...."

B.D. 0761 from January 27th 1939, taken from Book No. 16

Become like children and thereby also acquire the right to be led by the hand like an underage child, and your path will truly be the right one. An unknown feeling of security will make life easier for you to bear, and if you trustingly abandon yourselves to the lord and saviour, you will want for nothing. For His words are sweet: "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." If the lord Himself gives you this promise, you need only remember the lord in your suffering and He will help you bear it, for He does not forsake His children. Take heed of these words, for you are still facing a difficult time on earth, and whoever does not then trustingly surrender to the divine saviour will have to struggle unspeakably hard. The right consolation at all times is His word, which He gave to the children of earth in love, and anyone who adheres to it will be wonderfully strengthened to endure the severe suffering on earth, for His word is both strength and fortitude for the anxious heart. And do not forget the prayer .... Offer all your worries and needs to the father in heaven, so that He may send you help at the right time. Whoever finds the way to the father will not knock in vain, and his request will always be granted if it is sent up to Him with all fervour. And if everything around you should waver, then stand firm and hold on to the word of the lord that He will protect His own in all dangers of body and soul ....

Amen

Call of the shepherd .... great spiritual need ....

B.D. 8330 from November 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Only a few listen to My voice that sounds from above .... It is only a small flock that I can gather in the end and lead home into a better world .... be it on earth or in the spiritual kingdom .... And that is why I still pursue each individual soul to the end and entice and call it to find its way back to Me .... As a good shepherd I seek to save all sheep that are in danger of falling, that have lost their way and can hardly manage the path alone. I will leave none of My sheep without help and do everything to free them from the clutches of My adversary who broke into My flock, drove them apart and wants to prevent them from finding their way back to their shepherd .... And anyone who heeds My calls and follows them will also be protected by My strong arm from these attacks. And therefore My voice will always and forever sound and everyone will be able to hear it, for since there is dense darkness they must first hear My call and follow it, then it will also soon become brighter, they will attain light and freedom, for I am truly a good shepherd Who has prepared a home for all His little sheep where they feel at ease .... I want to lead people to beatitude, I want them to find their way home into their father's house, and therefore I speak to them time and again from above. People need much help in the last days before the end because they are weak and constantly threatened by the enemy of their souls. Yet how few accept the help which their father of eternity wants to give them .... How few listen to Me and follow My words .... And no matter how unusually I appear, they pay no attention to it and force Me to use means which affect them painfully but which nevertheless can still be successful and therefore can also be regarded as proof of love on My part .... Then, too, only a few will find the path to Me, yet for the sake of these few I will leave no stone unturned, for they will be saved from the dreadful fate of a new banishment, and only I know what that means .... The spiritual adversity on earth is immense, and it is this that prompts Me to intervene, which is imminent for you humans. Believe these announcements of Mine and prepare yourselves by establishing contact with Me through thoughts or heartfelt prayer .... For as soon as you have established the bond with Me you can no longer get lost, even if your degree of maturity is still low, but you have acknowledged Me Myself and then you need no longer fear the fate of a new banishment .... and even if you lose your earthly life I can still accept you into the spiritual kingdom where you can still ascend. Then you will have followed your shepherd's call and returned to Him, and My adversary will have had to release you, for as soon as your free will acknowledges Me you will no longer reject Jesus Christ's act of salvation if it is truthfully explained and substantiated to you, and you will take the path to the cross, even if it only happens in the kingdom of the beyond, but redemption is nevertheless assured to you. Only call upon Me in great adversity when My voice sounds to you from above, which expresses itself through the forces of nature .... Call upon Me so that you will not be lost again for an infinitely long time. But before that I will guide My word wherever there is still a willing soul which recognises My voice as the 'voice of the father', and everything possible will happen to save souls from ruin who are only willing, who give up their resistance against Me and allow themselves to be taken hold of by Me and My love .... For I truly take no pleasure in prolonging My living creations' path of suffering, I only ever want to provide beatitude and help all My living creations to become blissfully happy. And therefore I only want people to experience My nature, which is love, wisdom and might .... that they trustingly turn to Me in every earthly or spiritual adversity so that they can prove their will to Me and I can help them .... And therefore I will speak to people until the end, I will not stop warning and admonishing them, I will call and entice My sheep, for I am truly a good shepherd Who will gather His small flock before the end comes ....

Amen
