Population Problems ….

B.D. 0352 from March 29th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

My dear child, do not be afraid, just believe …. It is the Lord’s most holy will to give to His own, to test their strength in the Spirit. The deep attachment to the Lord assures you of the pure truth …. it is a sign of the indissoluble power of the Lord …. As you believe, so you will be considered. But the world is as you have been shown …. for a short time yet, and you will recognize the truth of His words.

But if the lines are not understandable to you, record the following: A change of life-reforms will demand that you all must change and disregard the commandment with reason. Mankind’s striving will be to solve problems of population increase, and this will be regulated in such a way that the course of all events will be to you as horrible as you never thought possible. When two mate, love should to be the condition, but if the act of procreation is performed without any inner or soul-connection, this is contrary to God’s order, and through this, man lays in the begotten beings the basic substance of all earthly vices and desires.

Because the being of man is destined for a higher purpose, and when already from the beginning of the embodiment the soul is covered so deeply in darkness, then it will hardly be able to free itself from the fetters surrounding it to follow a path full of light, and for the short duration of it’s earthly existence, it has to struggle unspeakably if it wants to achieve the purpose of it’s embodiment. In times of such aberrations, great signs from above will have to appear to point out to mankind the sinfulness of their beginning.

If people live side by side and do not completely fit into the order of God, the ground is always well prepared to receive bad seeds for the power of darkness. The Lord will take care of His own with infinite blessings, He will protect them from adversity. But your heart is to remain far removed from every doubt …. accept as it is commanded to you, and trust in the Lord who guides you rightly at all times, if you remain in His will. And hear the words of the Lord: “You shall all serve Me, that I may bless you ….”.

Amen.

The world endangers the salvation of souls ….

B.D. 0353 from March 29th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Nothing is more dangerous for you than the world with it’s temptations, which want to pull you again and again into the whirlpool of life …. where you then forget the Lord and your actual destiny. In the foreseeable future an epoch granted to you in grace will be completed, in which you have been given sufficient knowledge of the will of the Creator through trials and tribulations. Whether you have now made use of this time, is the question the Lord will one day ask you at the end of your days.

Because nothing happens in vain, so also your further life on earth will still bring you enough hints, but man is in the habit of directing all his activity only towards worldly things and of taking little notice of the divine care …. Therefore, it will also become more and more difficult for him to get into contact with the divine Spirit …. A human will never be able to grasp the miracle of creation …. how much less will he realize that he can develop himself to the highest …. to the image of God …. if he himself has only the will for it. If you become servants of the world, then you will never ever be able to do so, but if you let go of this and it’s temptations, then you enter into a bright state, which offers you incomparably more than what the world can ever offer you.

Therefore take care of your soul’s salvation, take note of God’s instructions, and above all receive them into your heart, then the soul will imperceptibly free itself from all earthly things that still seem desirable to you now, it will become free from the fetters of earthly desire and will of itself be left to a higher will, and what spiritual pleasures it then offers itself, replaces those of the world a thousand times over …. yes, the gifts of the spirit alone will only appear desirable to you …. you separate yourselves from everything that still holds on to your soul, and frees it’s way upwards. In thoughts about the hereafter …. in good and noble living …. in striving for truth and in working in love you will from now on spend your life on earth ….

Rid of the worries of everyday life, you will receive many spiritual messages, directly and indirectly, if you only pay attention to your thoughts, to the inner voice and to everything that informs you of the work of creation of the heavenly Father. For none of His children has been created by the Father without the ability to recognize …. The idea of eternity can be awakened and brought to life in everyone who only raises his heart to the Father of the All and turns to Him asking for His grace …. And will recognize everyone who has only the good will to do what is right and corresponds to the will of the heavenly Father. The Lord Himself leads these from the bustle of the world to Himself into His heavenly kingdom ….

Amen.

Faith ….

B.D. 0354 from March 30th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

And whoever remains in faith will always walk strengthened through life, because the Lord never lets those who believe in Him become wavering …. The harbinger of all bliss is faith …. And therefore everyone who willingly accepts it will prepare himself in all earnestness for eternity. The other regulated living without faith corresponds only to machine-like activity without any further value …. then man is only a living being, filling the earth’s surface without any further use for itself. They can still serve other earthly children as a deterring example, but for themselves however no result remains, which could be of eternal advantage for them.

So the Lord puts Himself also here into the remedy, where deep lack of faith makes man unfit to care for his salvation. He wants to stand by him and forces him through circumstances, earthly need, illness and suffering of all kinds, to think about his own inadequacy. If man succeeds in freeing himself from his rigid view …., if he feels that he is subordinated to a higher being and cannot achieve anything without it …. then he is saved for eternity.

Even if his state does not reach the degree of perfection, the further training of his soul in the hereafter with the knowledge which he gained on earth, will be much easier for him than when he enters the hereafter in complete blindness and obduracy. The wrestling and fighting of such a soul is so arduous beyond all measure that it …. would he know about it …. would make every effort to penetrate into earth-life into the miracle of faith with all it’s blessings.

You find the connection to God only through faith …. Accept what you feel in your heart as truth, even if you cannot actually prove it …. that is faith …. And in this faith give yourselves unconditionally to the Father of creation …. What you are, you are everything only through Him who begat you, created you …. You must acknowledge this, because who else gave you life ….

If the wise teach you differently, then the purpose of life will be missed, because only through faith in the eternal God …. in Jesus Christ, who came into the world for your redemption …. you can reach the true life …. i.e. to grasp all spiritual in and around you, because what you otherwise pursue on earth, be it what it is …. without this faith, it is only vain work of creation, which is transitory and earns you only worldly benefits, but which is invalid at your parting from this world. And whatever you accomplish …. remember that the next day your life can already be over ….

Who has it in his power to prolong life one day, one hour, when the Lord calls him …. Imagine this urgently, and then it will seem more advisable to you to seek the connection with the eternal Father than the connection with the world …. For with the certainty of being a child of this Father, you walk through the valley of the earth much more easily and joyfully than without faith …. For so you are forsaken and only hang on to treasures of this earth, which only cover your spiritual emptiness …. but faith opens up heavenly joys and radiant treasures for eternity ….

Amen.

30.3. (Hugo) ….

B.D. 0355 from March 30th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Those around you welcome you and give you advice …. Behold, there is one among us whose heart is connected with you …. he has thought of you all day and was near you, and now he is happy about the connection that is to be granted him for a short time ….

My love, your thoughts have been with me today, and I sense the power that emanates from you. I want to tell you some things that will bring you joy …. The world on the other side has many horrors for all of you who are still on earth …. but man can form himself so far on earth that the entrance into the hereafter is much more of a joyful event for him, and so you must imagine that I am staying in bright, light spheres where only you are still missing …. You find in your earthly existence so unspeakably much grace from the Lord, and in this consciousness also my life here in the hereafter has become a beautiful one, so that I fulfill my duties with joy and can also often tarry close to you. I observe all your work and give you hints as often as I can, for what spiritual work has come into being through you, bears witness to the Savior’s exceedingly great love for people, and for this I thank Him daily and hourly that He has led you so lovingly on the right path. All of us around you want to stand by your side in days of evil and in days of inner struggle. But now your grandmother wants to tell you a few words. I feel your closeness, child, and offer you my farewell in yellow roses. Expect me the day after tomorrow ….

Where so many surround you, my spirit is also always close to you. It is an important day today, my child, the Lord’s great goodness allows us to protect you, and this task makes us all happy …. we read all your letters and thereby gain so much …. And now the Lord has given us permission to be allowed to intervene in your life on earth to help you when it is necessary, and that makes us so happy, since we are to participate in all your spiritual work. We will support the work of your hands so that the spiritual work will not suffer any loss, and heaven’s help will always be granted to you when your prayer penetrates deeply to the heavenly Father. Now we depart from you and ask the Lord to bless you ….

Amen

Ermahnung zum Wirken …. Wille Gottes …. 7 Jahre Leid …. Vaterworte ….

B.D. 0356 from March 31th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

You shall find yourselves in My name and keep My commandments, so I will be with you in all needs of body and soul. Let the light shine and help those who are weak in spirit …. advise them that they will only get well in My love …. seek to ennoble them …. seek to point out to them the power of My will …. give them news of My work on earth …. as I always walk among you who want to be close to Me, as I am close to everyone who out of his love for Me also gives love to the neighbour.

You all do not yet understand which power is inherent in you …. as you can work in My will, if you only desire Me …. Because My will rules over everything, over this your life on earth and also over the hereafter. Nothing remains hidden to Me, and the quiet will in you who are My children, is enough to make use of My will for you …. You willingly give yourselves into My care, and I fulfill your will …., so you are only allowed to want, and you can also carry out what you want. Overcoming the earth will become easy for you in My name; My spirit will enlighten you, and you will see what has been unreachable to you so far.

You will have to experience the seven years full of suffering, but they will pass you by like shadows, attacking and taking away the many who remained strangers to Me, who veered from their ways and did not want to settle into their true destiny …. To these the Lord will then be revealed in His strength …. but then such bitter suffering will darken their days that they come to realization in the last hour. If you now pray this news of My word in My name, you will make the way of suffering easier for them …. The trouble will make them docile, and then still many will accept the teaching of Christ, to their blessing.

My child, always immerse yourself in what My will spiritually created …. It is your life’s work and will bring some things to maturity in you, if you just remain loyal to Me. Your senses and aspirations will only turn more and more to this silent work, and what will then be decided for you, accept everything as My mission, as My will and the expression of My love for you …. everything flows to you according to My command ….

You have nothing to fear as long as your heart turns to Me in love, and I will enlighten your spirit so that you will always recognize My will and make all My desires your own …. Because what I demand of you, I put into your heart and instruct you until you are completely in My will, and then you will be able to work in My stead everything I want …. Because nothing happens without My will, and in love I draw you to Me and make you into what you are to become ….

Amen.

1.4 (Birthday) ….

B.D. 0357 from April 1st 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Begin in the name of God …. You will leave your body, and all around you will be clear …. all light will shine, you will lift yourself up into an area above the ether blue …. And when there is singing and ringing around you, then you know that God the Lord is near you …. that you have entered into His kingdom.

Wherever you find yourself in the gloomy days, hear the voice of consolation …. Your suffering is small compared to the joy that awaits you. And if you give your heart entirely to the Savior, you will draw immeasurably from His divine source of grace, for His children’s desire to come to Him, is granted them abundantly. So always rely on the Savior’s goodness and love, then your faith will bring you to a level that will certainly lead you to the heights.

Hear now our words: The Saviour urges you to care for the poor at all times, who are on the wrong track because of their faith. Communicate His words to them, for the power of these words flows unconsciously into such hearts …. Whatever may happen, a grain remains in them, even if the doubt is still great at the moment. But who else shall save them, if not the Lord through His Word …. Whatever gave you happiness and satisfaction and gives you again and again, will also find it’s way into many a person’s heart, because the Lord will give you the gift of serving His Word in the right place ….

It is hereby declared to you that the Lord wants to take possession of your body for the blessing of the many who find it hard to believe. Hidden in your bodily shell, the Lord will express Himself and thus give you the strength to carry out a ministry entirely in His will. You shall live and yet be at the commandment of the Lord, until He will one day take you to Himself in His kingdom. Trustingly place everything into the Lord’s hands, do not be afraid …. only believe …. Then you will always remain in His blessing, and what the Lord offers you will make you infinitely happy already on earth, because His love is always with you ….

Amen

Subordinating the will to the Divine will ….

B.D. 0358 from April 1st 1938, taken from Book No. 8

From the beginning of the world you experience the grace of the Lord …. As soon as one of you submits to the will of the Lord, the Lord instructs you in the history of creation, and now you are offered knowledge that can never be taken away from you. For it is the will of the Lord, that they may know who desires to know …. and that they may know the truth, who sees his Father in God …. A shallow faith never guarantees you a grasp of divine wisdom, but the deeper you stand in faith, the deeper you will penetrate into the wonders of creation and the more intimately you will be connected in spirit with the eternal Father-Spirit ….

For you come from Him, you are begotten in the eternal light …. you are yourselves as part of the light a part of the eternal deity …. If you endeavor to be children of God, your striving is a continued one and is eternally only for reunion with the heavenly Father. The primordial light that was your original being will remain in you, and it is even present as the tiniest spark …. Because it’s nature will always remain the same ….

However, you must try to detach yourselves from what is a tribute to the world …. then you will be able to recognize the light; you will long to increase the luminosity of the light …. you will only want to walk in the light, and it will be brighter and brighter around you until you approach the Father of all light and thus the union with the Father-Spirit can take place, which first lifts you up to perfect, God-like beings, which you were from the beginning and shall remain until all eternity ….

Thus the destiny of man is predestined, and the Lord has chosen thousands who followed His commandments on earth to bring enlightenment again as light-beings to those who are still enveloped in spiritual darkness …. In the earthly stage, countless such beings stand besides the earthly children, wanting to enlighten the spirit of so many people walking on earth. All of us who are around you take an active interest in the nature of the spirit of these many …. Whoever does not bring himself into that state which enables him to draw continuously from God’s source of grace, will hardly be able to attain the light of the Spirit …. For the power of God can only work where the precondition is fulfilled ….

The willing reception of the divine Spirit in itself …. only that alone brings the earth-being into the state where the grace of the Lord flows to it incessantly, because everything that arises in the will to reach God can also never perish or cease …. So too must everyone who strives for it with the Lord, be in constant possession of God’s grace, …. an ever higher education of the human soul, so that it is receptive to the divine Spirit …. Behold, this is the whole explanation why he does what the Father in heaven wants …. subordinating his will to the divine will.

He will never need to fear a wrong action, thought or word, because how could he want the same as the Lord Himself and yet do something different …. The Lord puts this power into the heart of everyone, and only man’s firm will lets him also get into possession of this power because this goes out from the Father and passes as if his own, into the will of man, so the earthly child only executes the will of the Lord. Consider this, whenever you give yourself to the Lord, that your inner strength increases and you must inevitably act according to God’s will and therefore cannot go astray, if your heart turns to God, the Creator of heaven and earth ….

Amen.

Patience and gentleness of the Lord …. His goodness endures forever ….

B.D. 0359 from April 2nd 1938, taken from Book No. 8

We have the Lord’s teachings ready for you at all times and give it to you steadfastly in His name, and so we want to teach to you today of the Lord’s long-suffering and patience. His goodness endures forever …. With these words all is said …. A tiny fraction of a second would be enough to destroy everything you see in the universe, if it were the will of the Lord. And millions of beings would find their downfall at that moment.

But the Lord’s creation exists since eternity, and also will the creatures, the beings of endlessly many kinds, exist eternally. But until all these beings have reached the state that they are completely one with the eternal Light, the divine Father, they have to remain

\- for you endless times – in the universe, in always new formations and always different possibilities of development. The first stages take place with the order willed by God, and the living beings – or rather their souls – slowly reach the degree that is a precondition for the finite embodiment as a human being ….

But then, after thousands of years of previous transformations of the soul through ever-changing external forms, it must shape itself arbitrarily to that which is it’s destiny …. It is completely left to it to accept or reject the light of knowledge. But since it very often does not recognize it’s destiny without retrospective consciousness, the heavenly Father tries with endless love and patience to help and thus point out the path which it is difficult to tread, through proofs of His love.

But the Lord is patient …. His kindness and love lasts forever …. As long as only a small spark in the soul of man reflects on himself …. as long as the soul feels the connection, however slight, with the Godhead within itself, the love of the Father is also concerned about this soul and stands by it’s side in a helpful way until it has finally recognized and implores the grace of the Lord from within, of it’s own accord, and then the way up is much easier …. then the knowledge is there, then man or his soul yearns by itself upwards to the Father, and to a yearning child, the heavenly Father is always close and will lead it safely towards the eternal homeland ….

Amen.

Organized care …. Lack of charity ….

B.D. 0360 from April 2nd 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Try to follow our explanations, with which we want to increase your knowledge in the name of the Lord. In stead of the commandments instituted by God, people are now also given commandments with the intention to ennoble the people, but the wrong application of these commandments does not bring about a complete improvement of mankind, but only coercive measures, which at best can be an organized supply, but which do not generate active charity – which, however, would be always more beneficial to the people if they were more diligent.

Years of struggle had to precede to finally bring about such an organization, and material interests have always been decisive in every measure developed in such a way, which is supposed to be an apparent work of charity, but deviates very far from the love, which Jesus preached on earth. People should help each other …. they should alleviate each other’s suffering and misery …. they should give to the poor, protect them spiritually and physically or save them from need and distress ….

But are the measures introduced based on this or a similar motivating force that has arisen from love for God and neighbor? …. Isn’t everything rather tailored to raise up much manipulation, to be openly and generally admired and recognized, and which connect far more other interests with the apparent main purpose, but which are to remain hidden from the public world.

A kingdom that resorts to such means in it’s construction will hardly be able to exist in the long run, because it wants to dismiss the commandments of God as residual and replace them with man-made commandments, only to make use of the power that has been acquired; and in order to let something completely new arise, everything old gets rejected and above all, the teaching of Christ is to be overthrown and branded as man’s work, to dissolve this teaching and let something else arise in it’s place.

The Lord will crush this effort …. He will not allow His Word to be disregarded and taken away from mankind …. He will rather announce it much more urgently to the people, wherever someone wants to listen to it, and less and less will be able to stand what man create in arrogance in order to deceive and blind their fellow man …. All spirit goes out from God, Who is good …. but the work of Satan seeks to find entrance in people under false cover ….

It also wants to be of good influence on mankind, but if one pays close attention to it, then one recognizes the origin and sees under the whitewash of the seemingly noble, the worthlessness of such commandments, which run counter to those of the Lord and can never have a beneficial effect on the soul of man. But every final victory is also preceded by battles that you have to pass …. Take up the fight against everything that wants to reduce or destroy God’s word …. If all of you stand firm as one man …. then you can never succumb in a fight that you fight for Jesus Christ …. the Author of the divine commandments …. Because it is His knowledge that also recognizes the effects of this struggle with foresight …. What people create passes away …. but God’s word remains in eternity ….

Amen.

Loving Father’s words ….

B.D. 0361 from April 3rd 1938, taken from Book No. 8

And the ones who are Mine are to be blessed because whenever they call on Me, I give them the strength to strive for their salvation. There will still come times where everything around you appears shrouded in darkness …. Also then I am close to you, and you have nothing to fear …. Put your ear to My heart and hear: you are destined to receive the divine gift, My child, and so you will find an act of love performed on you, which is meant for all My dear earth children …. You remain in deep trouble on this earth and do not pay attention to the saving hand which I want to offer you, but as I am always close to My children who love Me, so I also stay near you, who do not want to recognize Me, and wait patiently until a quiet desire stirs in your hearts …. a desire for spiritual power and strengthening …. then I am ready for you.

If you now want to keep My name holy, you are blessed through and through. Let the world threaten, let it destroy …. Never will it’s power reach up to your innermost heart …. This belongs to yourselves, you can confidently give it to your Savior and you will participate in the eternal kingdom with it’s glory …. and you will well know how to do without the kingdom on earth, it’s goods and dignities …. because My kingdom is not of this world …. But you, My child, I will always stand by you – your faith shall become strong and your heart shall beat only for Me in love …. this is how I reward the children who entrust themselves to Me and give them what they ask for ….

Compare your life now with before …. Are you not a thousand times happier in My love? …. And will this ever decrease as long as you give Me your heart? …. All words which I have prepared for you, are to give you news of My love, and all impulses which I put into your heart, go to you uninterruptedly from Me, because infinite is My love for you people, and I can and will make you infinitely happy. For the time on earth, your spiritual work will bring you such a deep happiness that you will never again give away this your activity ….

This is how I reward your endurance and your fervent desire to serve Me, My child …. Always consider love as the highest commandment, and unite all your thoughts with works of love …. and around you there will be a singing and ringing in the heart of those who feel your love, because everything you do out of love for Me, leads you ever closer to Me and will one day lead you into eternal heavenly bliss ….

Amen

Loving Father’s words ….

B.D. 0362 from April 3rd 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Accept My words that I place in your heart and receive My blessings through them. A heart won by love to see itself lifted up to Me is the most beautiful reward for My efforts, because I desire you, My dear children, and I see in every little child that returns to Me the fruits of My love …. Your share is bliss, prepared for you out of My love. And My share is your heart fully turned towards Me, which I receive to Me in My kingdom for eternity.

There everything blossoms and greens, there so much beauty is opened up to you that you can bear all this only in perfection, and My nearness will agree with you to exceedingly great joy …. because all of us are then united by one Spirit …. one Light and one Love …. For this, My little daughter, it is advisable to lay down your life when it would be necessary, but your Savior shields you in every danger and averts all adversity from you when it is not necessary for the perfection of your soul.

My child, unite in thought with Me as often as you can, then your strength will grow, your love will become stronger and stronger, and your faith will be strengthened, so that your life on earth will already be completed in fullness of light, because My Spirit then constantly flows over into you, and you seek all happiness only in love with Me …. You seek to serve Me and to fulfill My will and out of this love turn your heart also to your fellow brothers and sisters in the same love. On these you are to test your strength, which I impart to you to have a beneficial effect on all My children on earth. Give only Me always your heart and your will to own, then your purpose on this earth will be fulfilled ….

Amen

Inner voice …. Sovereignty of the soul over the body ….

B.D. 0363 from April 3rd 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Whoever wants to loosen the fetters that bind him on this earth must offer his sacrifice to the Lord …. he must surrender everything that connects him to the earth …. he must free his heart from everything that seemed desirable to him until now …. only then does he rise into a sphere where his soul can recover, where it can free itself from oppressive shells, where it can absorb the Spirit of God and transform itself into the image of God ….

The spiritual guideline will always be given to him once the urge for spiritual education has been awakened in his heart …. Then he may only always entrust himself to the spiritual leaders, who were given to him to protect him for life on earth …. these know best what is useful to him and necessary for the advancement of the soul. But also other opportunities will be offered to him by which he can develop himself higher and test his will …. because everything comes from God …. every hint at the deity …. every admonition to complete himself …. and every impulse for good will be put into his heart by God Himself, if he only always pays attention to the inner voice, which will always show him the right way.

That now again many do not hear this voice is the consequence of strong worldly stimuli, which try to drown out everything pointing to eternity; it is an inner fight which must be fought out beforehand, a fight for the supremacy of the body or the soul …. when the desire of the soul wins over the desire of the body then the soul is very soon given the possibility to detach itself from matter and now to fulfill it’s actual purpose …. i.e., it will now be strengthened and supported by good spirit beings in the effort to receive the Spirit of God and will so be able to form itself to ever higher perfection.

Because only one thing is necessary: that man understands to place the soul over the body …. and that, if he has recognized this, he should not slacken in his efforts to give the soul the highest possible development possibility by doing everything that is beneficial to the soul and it’s desire, even if he does not correspond to the world and it’s requirements and is forced to go through a life of renunciation on earth. Because only one thing can be good for the soul …. the world with it’s joys does not help it to progress, but only the connection with God alone will give it all that it needs for perfection on earth. Therefore man’s endeavor will always have to be to turn to the heavenly Father as a child of God, full of trust that He will advise and help him, and this request will not go unheard ….

Amen

The necessity of constant struggle …. Cleaning through the elements …. Storm ….

B.D. 0364 from April 4th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

We are with you whenever you need our strength. The most urgent necessity is to adapt to everything that the Lord lets you endure. For your soul is to form itself in all devotion into that which is necessary for it to the finite maturity of the spirit. Any clinging to unhealthy weaknesses or mistakes is an obstacle to it’s progress. For a perfect spirit of light requires a flawless soul, freed from all evils, and man can come to this stage only through perpetual inner struggle and constant work on himself.

Search the comparisons in nature …. How often is a storm the means to remove all evil …. to chase away all clouds …. so that the sky will once again be a bright blue sky …. Unpleasant things always happen in order to let an improvement follow, because everything in nature, as well as with you humans, clears itself up through and after adversity …. Because the Lord in His wise counsel recognizes and determines that all existence in nature is only purified by elements that stir up rest, and so also man does not promote himself in a state of rest, but would in the inertia forget his destiny …. and is therefore subject to this law as well, that a purification, an improvement can only be achieved by adversity imposed upon him, which he is forced to overcome.

Only in this way is progress on a spiritual path possible …. The human heart must learn to decide for itself …. it must feel that every pressure that burdens it can become a blessing for it, if man can draw the benefit from it …. if he patiently bears what is imposed on him …. but if it does not have an ennobling effect on man, all of that is in vain.

So keep above all to the saying: What God imposes on you, you must joyfully receive from His hand, because the Lord knows what is good for you, and you must pass these tests if the Lord’s love is to continue to consider you with His grace. But if you trustingly put all your worries to His heart, He will know how to turn away from you everything that seems difficult to you to bear. For his will is not that you suffer, but through suffering make yourself worthy of the eternal joy that He has prepared for you for all eternity ….

Amen

Father-words …. Spirit …. suffering …. Love ….

B.D. 0365 from April 5th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

My dear child …. hold the instruction which I will give you, firmly in your heart …. consider that every hour is intended to give your spirit a higher development …. and that you must do everything to reach a state similar to Me. So everything that happens around you is designed to educate you …. Every word that reaches you gives you news of My will, and in your heart these words are to awaken an active excitement for all good and for love …. because My Spirit connects Itself with yours, and this can then never remain idle ….

Without your will for this, My teachings would be without result – but every word always refreshes you when your will follows Me in all things, in all circumstances of life, in joy and sorrow. I am with you and guide you, if you obey every quiet heartbeat, which is again a work of Me …. a sign of My love. When you give yourself willingly to Me, then you will also feel in yourself how closely you remain united with Me, because the soul that receives My Spirit never leaves Me; it is Mine, and it’s days on earth are happiness, no matter how the heaviness on earth seems to sometimes press it.

A perfected spirit lives in a sphere which no longer lets him feel the suffering of the earth in such a way, that is why also an earthly child living in Me and with Me can endure almost unbearable phenomena for the environment without being deeply touched by them …. Because it remains in My will and therefore the excitement of the heart takes up everything spiritual …. and has little or no feeling for the physical, from which you can gather that My love is able to protect My children connected with Me from suffering threatening you from outside or approaching you.

If you give Me your heart so willingly that you do not hesitate and are not fickle, everything else – even what seems difficult to you – will bounce off of you …. You will not need to suffer as long as you give yourself to Me …. Only a little while longer, then I enter your life with such violence that you will shiver, and then your love for Me shall glow so much that you will willingly receive Me and will be ready for Me at any time. Suffering and bliss, unspeakable happiness and pain, everything will seize you, if you only want to serve Me always …. from now on your life will be a blessed one …. My breath will touch you wherever you stay …. and lifting your thoughts to Me, will bring you unspeakable happiness.

Because your love is pure and only wants to serve Me …. such announcers of My word will work as a blessing, and to whom you grant support in their need, they will also seek Me and know how to find Me …. You must banish every doubt from your heart …. I stand by you and give you strength, and if you get this at any time from My word, you are immeasurably rich …. But always pay attention to the purity of your heart, remain true and just, then you will recognize everything and will always understand My words correctly, because I give to the ones who are Mine as they are able to receive ….

The abundance of spiritual creation guarantees you correct thoughts …. if you want to remain in this creative power, then always go into yourself and seek to accomplish nothing, but to always unite all your thoughts and deeds with your Jesus, then you will be supported in every situation in life, because if you place yourself in My protection, you who are My children, no harm will threaten you …. for you see, I am with you every day ….

Amen

God's warrior …. God's Word …. Granary ….

B.D. 0366 from April 5th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Thus, the work of a moment is capable of igniting a bright flare of the sacred flame in man …. Man leans on everything that gives him a hold in difficult days …. A peculiar feeling in his heart tells him what is right, and after a long back and forth, only one way remains open to him, the one he is not afraid to take …. when the full knowledge of the divine truth enlightens him, when he has recognized the heresies of the world for what it is.

Very few are able to receive what is offered to them …. people will often know how to assert themselves with little resistance when the Lord’s most holy will intervenes, but what then speaks out of these people …. what flows out of these overflowing hearts is not a dead word, but true, living, deep faith in the eternal Godhead …. Those who will always hear this word, will profess this faith without timidity and without inhibition, …. Because God the Lord let the speech of those sound powerful and unbroken, and this will likewise find entrance into the human hearts ….

By this word alone the blessing of God can be recognized, without hesitation the warrior of God is ready to use it, because the Lord gave and took at the same time …. Out of His hand man received his highest office, and to administer it in truthfulness was his innermost motivation. And that’s why recognition is also followed by action …. because whoever looks into God’s garden of wisdom will not turn his gaze back, but he desires to enter, and his heart is longingly turned towards this gate ….

You will therefore receive teachings that are to convince you of the guiding hand of the Father …. that are to pass into you as living seed …. sown by God Himself into the hearts of humans, received by them in full will and guarded and nurtured in love …. So the word of God must flourish …. So it must bear fruit, and the harvest will be unspeakably great and rich. For the Lord instructs His messengers to give food to the souls that long for the bread of heaven …. You shall not be in want, but shall be fully satisfied with the bread of life ….

Whatever is given in spiritual goods will be kept in the granary of the heart, so to speak – so that the supply is inexhaustible …. however, thanks to the strength Donor until all eternity …. He considers those who hunger, and directs His attention to all who look forward to the future with a despondent heart …. Where will the love of the Savior leave you in need, who fight for His name? …. But confess Him before all the world, never let the holiest in you wither away …. faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God …. If you have this, then you have escaped from the world and death …. You will never die in eternity, but have eternal life ….

Amen

Messages given by God Himself are indestructible ….

B.D. 0367 from April 6th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Everything that embraces the concept of the universe has been so arranged by God’s wise counsel that it is useful for the further training of the individual beings who swarm through the universe in millions upon millions. The most sublime teachings about the miracle of creation cannot provide information in full depth. For where the natural thinking of man is limited, unlimited wisdom cannot be imparted. Thanks be to the Lord of Creation that He grants you people the extraordinary grace to take a look into a part of creation in order to show you the wonderful work of the Godhead ….

The blessing of these revelations will not fail to appear; a new fresh thinking will enliven the people, they will listen attentively and recognize the divine Spirit more easily and comprehensively than was the case up to now. The few indestructible values of this kind that God has directly communicated to mankind bear witness to the infinity of the universe, they bear witness to the Divine rule and to the love with which the supreme Being surrounds all other beings of the universe …. These works will remain, no human work of destruction will have power over the messages given by God Himself to His earthly children.

Let time pass over it, and you will know how wisely all His children are led, so that they may unite and carry out the will of the Lord in common action …. So only will it be possible to cleanse the earth from the teachings that mislead it, but never will an opposing power influence these words …. Because without the action of the Lord the world would have to put on a mourning garment …. it would sink into the deepest darkness, and boundless spiritual misery would seize the earthly children, if not the Lord in His boundless love took pity on them and through again and again new events, would create a way which would lead them out of all this spiritual misery and again onto paths full of light.

You leave darkness in the knowledge of His word, because you will be given so much strength through the word – which you receive in good will – that from now on you will constantly strive and pray for grace, and then your soul will release itself more and more from it’s fetters …. it becomes light and bright …. it recognizes and accepts in grateful joy everything that is offered to it for strengthening and further training, and then the great need is overcome …. the way to the Father is paved, and His love draws the soul eternally to Himself in his Father’s house.

Amen

Glowing heart …. forms of the soul …. power of love ….

B.D. 0368 from April 6th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

A red-hot iron takes the shape into which it is pressed …. a heart glowing with love will likewise shape itself according to My will …. and you, My child, have to expect the time when all impurity separates from your soul and it completely abandons itself to Me so that I give it the right form …. and this now formed soul takes in an abundance of divine spirit if it is able to grasp it. In its purity it has become a vessel which the saviour uses for His abode …. and will not everything in you then be filled with love for your creator? …. Will you not tremble with the happiness that union with your saviour brings you? …. Do not allow it to occur to you that My dwelling on earth, in your midst, could ever come to an end …. I will not let the connection that has once been established be destroyed, and your heart will long for Me so fervently that I can never ever leave you, because love always draws Me to you, because I am always omnipresent in love and because I am love Itself …. Thus you will never lose Me, you who only lift your thoughts …. lift up your hearts to Me …. The most respectable worldly testimony of honor will not be able to replace what a moment of bliss prepares in your hearts when I dwell in it …. and likewise you will long for no other bliss than My presence …. The holiest feeling in you will always remain love, but whom I consider with My love will never forget Me …. Yet I demand your complete devotion …. if you want to be Mine. Then you must openly acknowledge Me …. if you want to be happy in My love, then try to also give this love to your earthly brothers and sisters, try to open the fountain of life for them …. try to win their hearts and ears for Me and you will increase the number of My little sheep …. you will snatch them from destruction …. you will share in their eternal life as soon as you have brought Me, your saviour, to them ….

You all do not know the power of love …. you do not know the greatness of the guilt in which the enemy has entangled you …. Where would you be with this guilt if My love did not wipe it out and light a little light for you so that you do not walk the path of life in darkness and therefore go astray …. I ask for nothing more than your heart, but this completely, so that I can shape it according to My will, if you sacrifice your will to Me completely. Become like children, allow yourselves to be led, also allow yourselves to be punished where My love deems it right …. so that you learn to love Me ever more intimately and turn your whole being towards Me …. then you will have become such in ardent love that I can shape you into the most beautiful form …. into the image of God …. O you do not yet recognize the love that can change you overnight into the noblest, clearest crystal …. into purest gold …. into the most radiant light …. Therefore love …. love the lord God above all else and love your fellow human beings …. For only out of love will you be able to be immeasurably blessed for all eternity ….

Amen

Creative spirits …. Free will ….

B.D. 0369 from April 7th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

All thoughts are born from eternity …. An army of creating spirits fills the infinite expanse of heaven. But man is given only the possibility of animating a very small particle in infinity with his thoughts and ideas. Everything else is subordinated to the world of the creative spirit beings, which, always carrying out the will of the Lord, are untiringly active in the world domain. Matter in the whole universe is subject to these beings, and what is willed, happens ….

Such an army of these spirit beings also now surrounds the earth and intervenes decisively in all events on earth, but also leaving space and power to the forces that work against the will of the Lord, because the earth must be influenced from both sides, because otherwise the most important thing in creation would be eliminated …. free will …. A being cannot develop to godlikeness, if it’s deeds and actions only has to be as a higher being determines it …. It has to keep the self-determination over itself, it must be exposed to both, the good and the bad power – and then be able to express it’s own power of judgement …. an inner effort must begin, to be at the service of these or those powers ….

But the army of spirit-beings, which looks after you, remains immensely active in it’s work …. what you take for granted in nature around you and above you, is constantly produced by these beings, who at the same time also thereby intervene in your innermost being, because they form you and constantly direct your thoughts towards creation …. they give you, as it were, insight into their activity …. they cause you to be viable in the first place, precisely through the sphere surrounding you …. that you must recognize that you can form from yourselves, in an environment created by God, what you are striving for ….

Imagine the question: Which of you humans is only given a one-sided possibility of perception …. which of you cannot recognize good and evil at the same time around yourselves …. which of you lacks the ability to distinguish good from evil? …. So where nevertheless both are present, also humans will be able and will have to decide necessarily for themselves what they desire …. and so the free will is first active, in order to clarify the desire of the soul. And again the great blessing is evident from this, which an intimate connection with the spirit-beings surrounding you entails ….

The more trustingly you subject all your thoughts to these, the more surely you will be guided and the clearer your thoughts will be able to perceive good and evil, you learn to recognize and turn completely of your own free will to that which guarantees you the highest perfection ….. You must then become perfect when you are guided by the most perfect beings who can ever surround you. You can never fail, because the power of good will have far more influence on you than that of evil. And that is why you will also certainly enter the way to eternal life when you devote yourselves to the powers and forces which carry out the will of the Lord, you therefore willingly submit yourselves to the heavenly Father.

Amen

The disciples of the Savior …. The Jewish kingdom ….

B.D. 0370 from April 7th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

In all his time of suffering, no-one on earth was as devoted to the Lord and Saviour as His disciples, who loved Him and would have liked to keep every suffering away from Him, if it was in their power …. As many as gathered around Him, only a small circle was so imbued with His divinity that they recognized in Him their Master, their Divine Creator, and where all light from Him flooded into their hearts, soon even the slightest doubt was choked …. In Divine perfection of their being they soon saw the only goal of their life ….

In the purity of His heart, everyone soon realized that following Him was essentially the only important thing on earth …. they realized that none of them could reach this perfection unless the Lord Himself let His grace come upon them continuously, and furthermore they realized how important serving one another in love was for reaching perfection …. Their striving now was to make themselves worthy of the grace of God in deepest humility and self-abasement …. They left everything, they gave up the world and lived only in His teaching, which the Savior taught them in daily dealings with them. Thus, no other event than the constant dwelling in His proximity brought about that their hearts were filled with oversized love for the Savior …. that their knowledge of Divine wisdom increased the longer they experienced and recognized their Master ….

They received with the heart, and God gave them the strength and grace to understand all that He offered them …. For never would they have been able to find their way in these wisdoms without the help of the Lord …. never would they have become aware of the greatness of the Lord without Divine enlightenment …. and never would they therefore have recognized their teacher as the Son of God if their spirit had not been enlightened by the Divine light. In frequent tribulation of the Spirit the Lord came to their aid whenever they felt weak …. because the Lord saw only the love that made His disciples worthy of Him …. As a result, He did not leave His own and gave them comfort in every difficult hour, but also demanded their full commitment when He was no longer …. when He returned to what is His Father.

Because the earth carried an enormously vital people at that time …. It was the tribe that was destined to spread Christian doctrine, true Christianity …. it was the Jewish kingdom …. His desire to save this people from the plight of the soul did not resonate with them …. they laughed and mocked Him …. they were represented in exceedingly strong numbers to bring about the downfall of this Son of God, and never let themselves be moved to accept faith in Him as the Messenger of God …. They saw in Him an enemy of their teachings, they saw in Him nothing more than an exceptionally gifted orator who took advantage of His gift of speech to make the people apostate from the teaching of the fathers ….

And since they remained in sin and filth, they could not get the enlightening of the spirit …. they rejected any love of the Lord and repaid it with abuses and the final intention to seek His life …. And His mercy and kindness forgave them …. With angelic patience He directed their speeches to them, for His heart turned to each one and sought to save them. But the omnipotence of God left these people their will, so that the word …. that the Lord came into the world to redeem mankind …. would be fulfilled.

Amen.

Anthroposophists? …. Poem ….

B.D. 0371 from April 8th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Softly the words of the Savior sound in your ear …. Become like children, and I will give you My blessing, and if you believe My words, you will never lack strength …. Show everything that could shake your faith, because only where the light born out of true humility shines, there also My Spirit will find entrance, but not in caves surrounded by stone walls …. these are the hearts drawing all their wisdom from artfully constructed and laboriously assembled human construction …. the endlessly many writings of arguably truth-seekers, but the childlike faith of averse humans, who created a doctrine themselves, which presents God as unreachable and of difficultly attainable nature …. who live in the belief that in the world it is always only man who is destined to come closer to truth and knowledge, who acquires knowledge himself through long, laborious spiritual work …. i.e. work of the mind, which in turn was acquired in the same way, but never has the pure work of love, humility and unconditional devotion to the will of God as it’s basis ….

Only on this alone true knowledge can be built and acquired …. Everything else leads over time away from the actual truth, even if it has it’s origin in the same way – and in the end it becomes an entity that no longer corresponds to My teaching …. Flee all that arises in times of spiritual arrogance …. this can not – never ever agree with the full truth, you will always receive the Word of God purely where you leave the guidance of your spirit completely to the Lord ….

You shall indeed strive …. unceasingly, but not for mere intellectual knowledge, but rather for your own perfection …. for the perfection of your soul, which you can only achieve when you are eager to form your heart first by practicing love, humility, gentleness …. and when you not least implore the grace of the Lord and gratefully accept it, because without this grace, your struggle is in vain; you are then like a cold, lifeless mass which does not feel the invigorating breath of Divine grace and without this cannot come to the life-warm maturing of yourself ….

You may well harbour a conscious spirit, but this spirit cannot give you the true life that the Lord alone promises to those who remain in Him …. Therefore no danger is probably as great as that of exaltation, because it excludes everything that is a precondition for the only true knowledge …. And the struggle of these souls will be in vain until they too surrender more and more to Divine grace …. until they have recognized the dead path their souls have taken ….

(The true light, the true life, is given alone only to those …. who find the Father as a child …. who alone only overcomes what opposes him …. But all of you who seek without God’s source of grace, will not reach the goal …. Your spirit will only be light and bright when the world of your soul opens up …. if you ask for the grace of the Father in the manner of a child …. then you will recognize the spirit of love that leads you …. and you will praise Him to Whom this praise is due ….)

Reasonable will to transfer …. Inner Knowledge ….

B.D. 0372 from April 9th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

A man of understanding will always make an effort to accept the teachings of the Lord, but if he lacks any will for it, then he never sees in these a gift of the Lord, even if he cannot unravel their origin. And so a barrier will always then be set to your endeavor when it is based on a mere intellectually correct will to transfer. Only then, when the soul resonates, when it succeeds to awaken innermost emotions so that through these the urge for union with God fills the people, also the Word and His teachings will fall on fertile ground, and then the activity of such a soul will find no limits to be in the will of the Divine Lord …. then the intellect understands as quick as lightning because the soul is simultaneously active.

So man may well strive to live himself into such problems, but if he still lacks the power of inner knowledge …. everything is still dead in him and can only then unfold and form when the teachings influence his thinking in a truly living way …. the process of recovery can only then begin when the mind of man seeks the Father alone and finds the right relationship with the Father.

But this should not take away your courage …. always there, where the resistance is great, loyal helpers support you, and you know that just as many spiritual beings strive for such hearts and thank you for all support. Because your words do not fade away without an impression …. So many words arouse interest of those present, these will cause a connection to be sought and found in further events, and if the person has taken the path of searching in this way, then success can no longer be turned away from entirely …. even if it seems a long way off.

What moves the heart of such a person the most? The history of creation with it’s many questions, which seem unsolvable …. if now in this area a satisfactory explanation is given to humans, then already everything else loses improbability …. they then look for everything with the eyes of one searching God …. and success will not be absent, because who walks the way with God, confessing the true faith, will be correctly guided from that hour on ….

Amen

Purpose of suffering – Trials …. Lethargy of the spirit ….

B.D. 0373 from April 11th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Many things in life discourage the human being …. it is like a bond which binds the heart of such a person. Time and again doubts in the goodness and mercy of God arise when grief and suffering occur too often …. and yet they only give you an inner maturity which otherwise would take much longer to achieve. And since your earthly life only lasts a short time it is necessary that such depressing or painful occurrences must take place frequently and sometimes one after another so that you may derive blessings from them, that you look upon your life earnestly and carefully and that your desire turns more and more away from the world and its attractions, which are a serious danger to you. Life often seems unbearable for the individual, sometimes such an earthly child tires and loses heart …. it drifts without making any effort to change this discouraged existence. And yet it would be so easy for you as soon as the right attitude towards God shows you the way you have to go. But consider the many seemingly insurmountable obstacles in your life …. would you have escaped from them if you had not been given help from above every time ….

But you do not always recognise this help as sent from above, yet every occurrence is a flow of God’s grace …. whether good or bad …. it always has the same purpose: to have a refining effect on you, My earthly children. If you can see in every test a means of improvement then you will also recognise your own shortcomings and failures, and with this recognition comes the quiet will to overcome them …. Then every trial has already served its purpose …. and therefore you must realise in every difficult situation that they are necessary to achieve a higher degree of maturity …. that they are steps on the ladder which leads the soul to perfection, so to speak. A life without struggle would only mean to stay on the same level, however, the battle against oneself is far more difficult to carry out than the battle against enemies who approach the human being from outside.

Every awakening from the lethargy of the spirit is a step forward …. the alert human being will remember his spirit and not let it starve, for lethargy is a relapse and cannot be called ‘enlivening’ in any way, it will defeat every urge to be active and can never have a beneficial influence on the soul. Therefore do not be alarmed when life’s difficulties seem hard to bear …. if they make you aware of your shortcomings and you fight them then they will disappear again in not too long a time, for the Lord only allows such trials until they have served their purpose and improved the heart of the human being. Because it is not His will that you should suffer except that through this you are made worthy of everlasting joy ….

Divine Commandments …. Work of the spirit-beings ….

B.D. 0374 from April 12th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

Hear the Lord’s instruction …. Thousands of beings live in His realm, to whom the pure keeping of the Divine commandments was given as law, but who never bother to fulfill these commandments. In such a case it can hardly be assumed that they could possess the same power of judgment …. that they can recognize the value of these Divine commandments …. the surrounding spirit-beings, however, have in their orderliness no further desire than to bring the most possible enlightenment to those who so dwell in the darkness of the spirit …. and therefore it is continuously shown to them how everything on earth becomes invalid when the commandments of God are not recognized.

The wrath of God hits all those who work against His Word, for they willfully destroy the cornerstone of all the building work for eternity …. Without this Word of God, even he whose will is good would grope around in blindness …. And so it builds up on only that which can make mature and perfect for eternity. In order to be able to obey the commandments of God, it is necessary above all to teach what the Lord demands.

No being has the gift of being able to penetrate into the deepest wisdom of creation without any instruction from the Lord …. Likewise, no being is able to subordinate itself to the will of God and then carry out this will if it is not informed of it’s task, the fulfilment of which first guarantees it the state in which it then receives the gift of knowledge of it’s destiny in the universe …. One cannot be without the other, one must properly follow the other, and so above all the transmission of the commandments of God is indispensable, because only then the work of man on himself can begin, because to climb the height, he must have fulfilled the preconditions ….

Who now believes, without such self-activity, without this work on himself to be able to fulfill his purpose on earth, is so immensely mistaken that the surrounding spirit-beings have a painstaking work to explain to these earthly children the adjustment into God’s order and will, and this can only happen through hints and suggestions, which on earth concern the people themselves …. and which, seen on a small scale, establish exactly the same relationship as that of the child to the heavenly Father …. that therefore everything you owe to the heavenly Father, you also demand as a matter of course from your fellow men …. that you then touch yourself perceptibly when the fulfilment of such earthly commandments remains denied to you, and that you recognise by it how you still deny the same to the Father, who can expect it from you to a far greater extent.

So then the objection can never again be raised that man is not able to recognize the commandments of God as the teachings of God …. he cannot suffocate in his heart the voice that speaks to him, and he will therefore never be able to refuse that the same thing that he demands, must also be demanded of him if he wants to make himself worthy to live in the community of beings who are begotten by God and are to strive for the same …. the union with the eternal Father …. But this presupposes first a willing submission …. and in addition also the commandments of God are given that you – above all – place your will under the Divine will …. because only then you can be one with the Father when you are of the same will ….

Amen

Knowledge …. Inner life …. Difference in the value of spiritual and earthly knowledge ….

B.D. 0375 from April 12th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

An insightful person never has the desire to penetrate into God’s deepest wisdom just to enrich his knowledge, but he will seek connection with God from this knowledge …. He will never be satisfied with just knowing. What seems much more valuable to him, is the relationship that connects him with the Creator of all miracles …. And once he has found the right attitude towards the Creator, only then will knowledge bring him the blessing ….

Because what use is all this knowledge of things to man at the end of his days if he has not made use of the value of knowledge in the time on earth. And yet humans demand again and again to enrich their knowledge …. This is also a gift that the Lord himself gives to him on earth …. The urge for always new knowledge is innate to humans …. Why would everything be in nature, in and around man himself …. Everything is again and again a reference to the eternal Creator, and his Spirit is active in man, when the thirst for knowledge begins to stir in the earthly child …. All these peculiarities point to an intervention of Divine power already from the beginning of the earth’s existence.

The inner life of the human being is an area completely separated from the actual body. No violence from outside, no foreign will can have a determining influence on it, if the human will itself does not accept such influences …. The inner life is something which humans can always determine completely independently …. which it can richly and invaluably arrange …. he can also let it lie fallow or locks it up so stubbornly, that no beam of light can find it’s way in.

That he therefore does not absorb spiritual knowledge but enriches himself in earthly knowledge in such a way that it fills him completely and he is then incapable to absorb Divine wisdom in himself, yes such appear to him as questionable, and he is therefore with all his earthly knowledge a completely unfit being when leaving the earth. If man is wise in heart, he will not overload himself with earthly knowledge, because this is useless for him, but if he lets the spiritual activity – the urge for spiritual truths – blossom in him, he will act immensely wisely, and the wealth of his soul will increase in imperishable goods ….

All knowledge which the Lord imparts to you, has incomparable value in the sense of creation …. but all earthly efforts for learning will not be recognized one day, when the value of the soul is judged and rewarded; for the wise of the world will be ignorant, and all earthly striving will earn them no reward, but will stand above them, who will always receive the gift of God – the Divine wisdom – with thanksgiving, for they will be blessed by the Lord ….

Amen

Building and foundation pillars …. Printing of the writings …. Warning ….

B.D. 0376 from April 13th 1938, taken from Book No. 8

You must never despair; the Lord will always be with you who desire to live in His will. What the Lord imposes on you is only to strengthen your faith and to increase the longing for the Lord, because he wants you to be completely absorbed in Him …. He wants to build a house which firmly and unshakably defies all onrushes from the outside, and you must fit in with the will of God and take everything upon you in patience and submission and always let the Lord rule, then the building will be rightly done, for the pillars of which the Lord has chosen you ….

And now, My child, we want to satisfy your desire and strengthen you in an extraordinary reception, because the Lord wants to announce to you how your farther life should be …. In a short time you will be approached by someone whose will it is to contact you for the purpose of printing the writings …. This will be in a circle which you do not know yet …. the foundation of this circle is also to serve God.

And therefore everything that is undertaken there will be blessed by the Lord. In this situation you must then not doubt …. you must always know that the Lord guides you and leads you to these brothers and sisters on earth, that you are therefore completely in His will …. let the Lord continue to rule there, unite with them, and let your heart only always turn to the Lord, then the right thinking will always enliven you ….

But now you will have difficulties, which arise from the respective commandment that meetings for the purpose of spiritual training are not permitted …. Do not allow this to frighten you all …. where the Lord dwells among you, this commandment will be ineffective for you …. During this time some of you are filled with anxiety, fearing that the building will collapse …. But always trust in the Lord …. what He has given, shall be a blessing for thousands more ….

Do you believe that these signs of His great love for you human children can be destroyed by the hands of people when it goes against the will of the Lord? …. So just always make sure that no foreign being gains insight before the time …. So that the course of events is not made more difficult …. so that no premature intervention is made before the work is completed.

For you are always surrounded by enemies, and therefore extreme caution is necessary …. so that you do not trust indiscriminately everyone who approaches you …. But the Lord will give you signs in due time. And now trustingly put all your care, your thoughts and your spiritual work into the hand of God …. The greatest protection is prayer, which you trustingly offer to the dear Lord and Savior …. “What you ask for will be given to you ….”, the Savior calls out you, who are concerned about the needs of the body and soul. Become like children and you will receive everything you desire ….

Amen

(Reference by Bertha Dudde to: “The great gospel of John”, volume IV, chapter 79 (5)

5) Whoever of you will be a friend of the poor with all his heart, I will also be a friend and true brother to him, temporally and eternally, and he will not need to learn the inner wisdom from another wise man, but I will give it to him in all fullness in his heart. Who will love his nearest poor brother as himself and will not cast out a poor sister, whatever tribe and whatever age she may be, to him I Myself will come all the time and reveal Myself to him most faithfully. To his spirit, which is love, I will tell it, and it will fill his whole soul and mouth. What he will then speak or write, that will be spoken and written by Me for all times of the ages.)

Transmission of intellectual knowledge …. The Lord sets barriers ….

B.D. 0377 from April 13th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

He who selfishly desires to be accepted into the circle of the knowing, abuses the goodness of heaven …. he who never tries to give of what he receives …. To these the Lord has shown His love, but they do not show the same love to their fellow men, and so the soul can also never detach itself from matter; this knowledge is then the same as that acquired by itself ….. It is not reckoned as progress of the soul, but only as a dead reception of what is lively transmitted to it.

Tell this to those who remain in matter for the sake of earthly advantage, refer them to the words of the Lord: …. The most important thing in life is to follow the teaching of Christ, and never can he follow this teaching who does not willingly give what he receives. In your immediate surroundings it will become clear to you how the following of the commandments of God works, but the one who willingly passes on the words of the Lord, will always remain in blessing.

People do not pay attention to the need of their environment, and so they do not give help where it would be so necessary …. Whoever lives in grace, knowing about the love of God, should be concerned to help them and, in the inner knowledge of his own need, learn to understand the need of the brothers …. The will is often not lacking, but some earthly children are close to their own well-being, but that of their fellow human beings does not particularly touch them …. This is not love as the Lord preaches ….

Self-interest will diminish such a man’s own merits, and limits will be set for him from hour to hour in the recognition of Divinity. Self-love tarnishes the intensity of the light …. but it is required of the souls walking in the light to contribute to the enlightenment of the spirit of so many erring ones. And when then the hour comes which the Lord has chosen for justification, then many voids will be revealed, where active love was the innermost commandment. Only the consciousness of being graced by the Lord, always giving oneself full of love to one’s task and to also allow others to participate in this grace, will give man the maturity that is necessary for love-work in the hereafter.

“Let it be My concern”, says the Lord, “where I want to set the barriers of spiritual knowledge …. no-one is to believe that I will dispose of Myself and My will ….” And where restriction is commanded, there I will certainly intervene at the right time …. but those who I appoint to work in My vineyard – you must not command those who have not yet fully recognised grace.

But whoever will make an effort to accept My word, him I will admit to My flock; who serve Me …. I will guide them Myself, so that the way to faith becomes easy for them …. To give oneself in all love to the concern for the salvation of the earthly children will always be more beneficial than brooding over what human knowledge cannot fathom …. and therefore accept the words, given by Myself, faithfully and into your hearts …. then you go the right way ….

Amen

Clarification of the precondition for the soul's union with God …. Help the erring ….

B.D. 0378 from April 14th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

If the Spirit of God stirs in you, then what was dead until then will live, the soul will arise and rise …. it will leave it’s cover and always seek only the light, and what is then born of this light will never pass away in eternity …. And so the Lord has given all beings on earth the ability to receive the Divine Spirit, when only the desire becomes lively and man sees an extraordinary task in his existence. Because the connection with the Divine Father-Spirit must be established again and again in order to attain eternal life, the association will have to be preceded by laborious work …. the work of the purification of the soul, which is to finally receive the Spirit of God.

This purification of the soul can again only take place when it’s desire turns away from matter, when it willingly gives up everything that has hitherto bound it, in order to exchange something far more delightful for it …. in order to enter into exactly this connection with the Divine Spirit …. Nothing may decisively influence the soul, it must reflect out of itself on it’s task, it must want to progress on the way of the knowledge …. it must also simultaneously put the will into action …. to unite with the heavenly Father. The so formed will then always remains subordinate to the Divine will ….

Afterward the Spirit of God no longer permits a decline, but whoever once treads this path and is finally in the will of the Lord, remains connected with Him for time and eternity. The Lord will never leave such a soul to itself …. the first requirements are fulfilled, and now such a soul strides constantly upwards and remains in the Divine mercy-sun …. but there is one thing it should not miss …. to draw the attention of it’s own kind to the warmth of this sun of grace …. For darkness so boundlessly shadows so many beings – that every child on earth who is gladdened by the Divine Spirit, is to turn to these full of mercy, so that the morning also breaks over these and many of them may go toward the light.

The Lord will reward you a thousand times over for the love that you give to these beings, because it is necessary to save all these from eternal damnation. And whoever has received the Spirit of God into himself will recognize how unspeakably difficult some souls are to untie, and will therefore meet them lovingly and give them what he is able to, so that like him, they may receive the Lord in brightness of spirit, to remain in Him for eternity ….

Amen

Divine powers …. Outflow of the love of God ….

B.D. 0379 from April 16th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Your life path will always be governed by the laws that your heart dictates you to fulfill …. You must walk the same way as all those whom I have commanded to stand up for My teachings. In the same sense you must also work for Me, but always let the concern for the salvation of souls prevail …. Beware of your own judgment of those who are in need of this care; I have destined all My children for eternal happiness …. as soon as these turn away from Me, My love is doubly concerned for them, and in this world the struggle is immeasurable, where it concerns these souls …. If divine powers rule around you, which have nothing in common with the earth, and you let their blessings pass you by, you will have to struggle again for a long time before such grace flows to you …. for what is of value besides what is of above …. and what desires entrance into your heart …. In such need of the soul the Lord has mercy, He gives what you are willing to take …. He fulfills your heart’s longing and awakens the Spirit …. So everything that enlivens you in spirit is an outpouring of My love for you, and when you understand the deep meaning of My gift, then you are free of all cares.

Never leave the way because I Myself walk among you …. you will walk in My power, and where this works, your heart does not need to fear. The deed shall be important to you because through the deed you prove to Me that you recognize the highest in Me …. when you follow My words, you confess My teaching …. Then your work on earth is only visible by exercising My will …. Bring your life’s work in harmony with My will, then nothing will frighten you anymore, because I want to dwell among you in such a way that you should recognize your Divine Master ….

Who only strives for himself, does not use the power given to him …. He searches for things that are hidden from him, as long as love is not active …. But if this is the driving force, then he can form himself, he will be able to use his knowledge for this time on earth in a joyful way …. he will willingly put himself under exile, which in turn redeems him …. he will know thanks to his Creator for time and eternity, because already on earth, fulfillment of his longing …. has become him to draw immeasurable grace from the fountain of eternity …. of Divine Love ….

Amen

Word of God …. Power …. Grace …. Unlimited gift of the Spirit ….

B.D. 0380 from April 17th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Follow My instruction …. You will find everything confirmed what you were told …. that you are among people to whom the gift of God is inexplicable and who nevertheless long to hear the words. And now you experience in it the wonderful that the Lord makes contact with you according to necessity, because He looks into the hearts of those who long for Him. And where their thoughts turn upwards, there the Lord soon shows them the right ways …. Behold, it is the will of God that His Word …. be fulfilled for the future. You will always unite when it is necessary to serve Him, and for the time on earth you stand in His protection …. And again the name of the Lord alone remains the gate through which you enter His kingdom …. Because if you confess Him, you remain in His grace, but if you let His word die away and do not receive it into your hearts, then you lose this grace, and without mercy you lack strength, and you will tire in the struggle of life …. and the soul’s burden is terrible …. it struggles and does not become free of its fetters when it lacks strength, and where then is the benefit of your existence on earth? How can you recognise the Lord where the Spirit remains shrouded in darkness? ….

The words of the Lord convey His grace, and His never-tiring love prevails visibly when you only beg the Lord for it, …. He does not deny this to anyone …. but again and again the desire must prevail to get into contact with the Lord; you can escape all evil, if only the will is present in you, and likewise you can receive the gifts of the Spirit if you have desire for it …. because God the Lord divides unlimitedly towards him whose desire is unlimited.

He has His word ready at any time …. who only wants to hear it and always opens his heart, will be richly considered and will no longer need to hunger and thirst for the truth, and in the same way the power will be received by whoever obeys this His word, because it then flows living strength to him, so that the promise comes true: “I will refresh you with My word ….”

Only a little trust, and you can achieve endlessly much, because the Lord helps you in every need …. And therefore do not resist when the reference to the Word of God enters your life …. then pay attention to this reference, and you will achieve everything to reach maturity …. only your will must be good and gladly submit to the Divine will …. and then you feel the hand of your Father in heaven, which stretches out towards you, and whoever takes hold of it will be rightly guided until all eternity ….

Amen

Persevere in the will of God …. Revelation …. 'My Father' …. Reward ….

B.D. 0381 from April 18th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Blessed are those who always remain in My will. Behold, there is probably nothing of such value on earth as the everlasting perseverance in God’s will. And as you have been given the power to think and act according to your own will, so it will be the merit of everyone to sacrifice this your will to Me completely …. But then you have chosen the best part …. so will increase your knowledge, your power and your faith, you will know how wise and how well you will be led …. You have handed over your responsibility to the Lord when you submit yourselves to His will, and now you are in good hands.

My child …. The Spirit of love will be revealed to you, so that the whole being of the Godhead …. fills you up. For such hours your heart gains a supernatural receptiveness and then everything that comes to you in spiritual teachings will delight you so infinitely ….

My child …. The Spirit of love will be revealed to you, so that the whole being of the Godhead …. fills you up. For such hours your heart gains a supernatural receptiveness and then everything that comes to you in spiritual teachings will delight you so infinitely …. You will be taught such teachings in a light and vivid way, which you cannot grasp in any other way …. but easily and understandably to your senses you will receive information about things that will amaze your mind and spirit …. The greatness of the Divine creation will be recognized by your spiritual eye in view of these revelations, and this penetration into Divine work takes away every doubt for you …. then the love of God will seize you with such force that your heart turns more and more in loving desire to your Savior, and the more closely you now desire Me, the closer I will be to you and protect your body and your soul.

My greatest desire is to completely possess your heart as well as the hearts of each one of My children …. then only when you have given this completely to Me, I can form it according to My will, only then has My love and grace influence on such a heart, when nothing and nobody except Me has a share in it …. what is offered to Me will be seized by Me and not given back …. because it is God’s will that everything is subordinate to Him …. and whoever says “my Father” to Me with devotion is to feel Fatherly love in all it’s fullness. What I have prepared for these My children is already destined for them since eternity.

But if you fall victim to the mistake that you already desire to receive the reward on earth and you do not learn to be modest in patience, then eternal happiness will hardly await you, but you have already been sufficiently rewarded the deeds on earth in the joys of the world. Therefore do not worry about goods of the earth, willingly give everything away, and with all your power and strength of will only strive for the eternal reward by you accepting My guidance and always only wanting what My will is. Because he who looks after you during your earthly existence certainly wants the best and most beautiful for His children ….. He does not want the soul to perish, but that it has eternal life ….

Amen

Resistance to evil through desire for God …. Spirit of light …. The Word of God as weapon ….

B.D. 0382 from April 19th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Anyone who always lives his life looking heavenwards will resist the dark forces. Just a single thought of the Saviour and you will be released by Him from such influence. It will immediately create a deep gulf between you and the latter, since everything …. Heaven and Hell …. is subject to the Lord. The enemy expects to find a willing creature in you into which he can transfer all vices and lusts in order to get control over it …. yet if he meets with the slightest resistance as soon as a person’s heart longingly turns to the Saviour, the power of evil will be broken and he will be released from evil forces without having been harmed. However, the power of evil shall make you realise how vigilant you must be if the struggle of improving your soul is not to be unsuccessful. Give preference to the beneficial spiritual beings surrounding you …. let them protect you and let them take care of your physical shell and your soul …. then the powers of darkness will have a hard time with you. They will try in vain to undermine your purity or to make you compliant for their disgraceful cravings …. Think of the Saviour in every danger and you will already have overcome the one who wants to plunge you into disaster. And therefore it is always advisable to comply with the Word of God during your short time of existence on earth, which in itself will give you strength and is protection against evil at the same time.

For it is given to you by God so that you shall reach the kingdom of God …. hence it must also be, at the same time, the best weapon against the darkness which is, after all, the most adverse power to eternal bliss …. Therefore beware of everything which, being opposed to God’s teaching, wants to throw people into spiritual darkness and thereby prevent them from taking a true insight into the Lord’s never-ending actions of love …. The adversary will always find supporters where dense darkness dominates, for everything that strives towards the light is shunned by him, and, if you sincerely appeal to the Father to enlighten your spirit, the power of evil will become increasingly weaker the more sincerely the human child is governed by its longing for spiritual light …. since darkness has never yet triumphed over light …. Consequently, it is also left up to your own discretion as to whether you take the path of light or darkness, but let it be a warning to you that the Lord is only with you in the light, that other forces preside in the darkness and that you must only ever strive towards the light and the eternal Deity if you want to escape the power of evil and be taken care of by the Father Himself. The spirit of light and truth will always reign over everything which is subject to darkness. The wise, however, will make an effort to become enlightened and once they are, they will be protected against all onslaughts by the enemy and will overcome the world forever.

Purity of heart …. Inner humility …. Self-knowledge ….

B.D. 0383 from April 20th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

You will be given a full measure for your earth career, the more diligently you must strive to prove yourself worthy of this measure, and so everything that is to bear witness to your love must also be applied where the spirit of discord prevails …. because can a child, which is in the grace of God, be worthy of it, if he does not always endeavor to express a pure sound, where the understanding for it lacks …. Spiritual connectedness is guaranteed to everyone who strives for it …., but only those who cultivate the purity of the heart are allowed to know the deep truth.

It is of great value for you to be able to receive in boundless devotion what others still have to struggle for exceedingly, and in spite of everything, the inner voice must also announce to you if you are lacking, otherwise a maturing …. a perfecting of your soul might not be possible. To work incessantly is the only way to reach the state where union with the eternal Deity is destined for you. Instead of the realization of your own inadequacy, however, you must never again allow arrogance ….

This is the danger for every being exceptionally gifted by God, that it very soon loses it’s inner humility and then loses grace. Beware of all things, for God’s love of the Father has set you such a glorious task that you must do everything to remain in His grace. Only then, when you feel low and small, will the power in you grow beyond you. Then you will fulfill in the sense of the Lord what you are destined for.

Submit yourself completely to God’s will, so His providence will always care for you, and you will still be able to work as a blessing, because everything that the Father does for His own, is arranged in wise foresight, to help them to light and knowledge. So the fruits of your labor will be given to you already here on earth and one day in eternity, but always recognize yourself, and strive for the purity of your heart, which always guarantees you the love of the heavenly Father ….

Flower garden …. Heart of the human …. Virtues …. Poem ….

B.D. 0384 from April 21st 1938, taken from Book No. 9

In the garden of the Lord many flowers blossom that need diligent care, and all these flowers the Lord lets grow under His supervision. Every seed in this garden was sown by the Lord Himself, so that a noble plant would develop from it, which in turn would flourish and blossom for the joy of countless beings …. So also the Lord has chosen many a child on earth to lead a joy-awakening existence among His creatures, which also arose out of His power, like wondrous flowers that make people happy ….. They are nurtured and cared for by a loving hand and yet through their existence they exert an influence on so many hearts, which is equal to that of an exceedingly beautiful flower with it’s scent and visual magic.

A human being seldom wants to do without the pleasures that blossoms and flowers in every species offer him …. so also the blessing, which emanates from such human children, will not be willingly missed …. just like many people who are depressed by the monotony of their life, who would like to make this life blossom and this is what such a being brings about by trying to intervene to help everywhere and to be, like flowers, active in the true sense of the word. Love your fellow human beings …. and give them joy. The greatest joy, however, is when flowers of love are planted and nurtured, singing honor and praise in ever more beautiful flowers of their Creator ….

So the heart of every human being should be truly adorned with flowers …. this heart should be a garden of God, where all virtues are cultivated and carefully guarded like flowers and blossoms, in order to then shine and delight both the eternal Creator and His creatures …. the children of the earth, who think they are already on earth in such an environment in paradise that pleases their eyes and heart, and who will always strive to cultivate such a well-designed garden carefully, so that it also pleases the Lord, who in His love has created everything beautiful, so that the human soul recognizes in it the great kindness of the Father and His everlasting loving care for everything that arises in the universe ….

(So all flowers bloom only for your joy on earth …. and every flower shall become for you a symbol of that …. that you complete yourselves more and more in color, form and fragrance …. that you – what every flower does – always turn to the light …. Those who never enjoy the scent of flowers are never chosen to cultivate such glory, born of God’s love).

B.D. 0385 from April 22nd 1938, taken from Book No. 9

The Spirit of God will fill you so that you can only want what is My will …. Thus the Lord speaks to you and will draw your heart more and more to Himself …. Everything that is subject to Him will have to fulfill the law, according to which every creature must, for the duration of its earthly existence, escape the world’s bustle and turn to the eternal goal. If you can do this with an ever-lighter heart, that you give yourself completely only to the Lord and Savior, then you will learn to understand the Divine teachings more and more ….

Using all your willpower, you will also be able to gain insight into areas that require spiritual vision …. And this spiritual insight is the success of a heart that loves the Lord dearly and seeks truth …. You will be informed shortly …. But still you have to struggle continuously for the maturity of your soul, since the Spirit of God is to fill it and you draw from such union with the Divine Spirit a strength, which is necessary for you for further perfection.

Which work is still assigned to you, you can’t imagine today, but the teachings of God must again be propagated from mouth to mouth for decades, in order to then again take possession of the innermost heart of mankind …. This task is the basis of your spiritual work …. the spreading of the Word of God in it’s purest form …. The words of love should speak and reawaken love everywhere, because where the Lord Himself dwells through His Word, there it must come alive and force it’s way into the hearts of mankind by it’s own power ….

Humans want the bread of heaven at any time, but if it is offered to them as before, they easily refuse to accept it …. but what is offered to them in living representation …. what is offered to them so quite tastily and acceptably, they take up gladly and keep it in their hearts, if it once found acceptance …. Must not therefore the bringer of the Word of God also be led by the Lord Himself …. so that he is only the executive power of a higher will? ….

Can the Word of God be rejected when it is revealed to the human child with such visible evidence of supernatural intervention? …. Must not the worst doubter become perplexed and confess to himself that he want to deny a power that cannot now be denied? …. Has the love of the Lord ever expressed itself so visibly that it conveys to mankind what is so exceedingly beneficial to them? …. That the love of the Lord makes use of a willing human child to reveal this His work …. And the Lord is constantly active and instructs all His servants who are devoted to Him to announce His word because through this word all are to recover who until then walked through life on earth sick in spirit and did not yet recognize the purpose of their existence on earth.

Without this grace of God the darkness of the spirit would be much worse, but so the Lord seeks to bring brightness to the earth, and so many who are of good will already walk in the grace of knowledge. The will is free …. Infinitely rich is person who turns to God the Lord, sacrifices his will to the Divine will and now feels the outpouring of the Divine will constantly in his own heart. Happiness will certainly be granted to him on earth because he works from the hour of knowledge on with the employment of all his strength for him whom his soul loves …. for the Divine Lord and Saviour, who is also close to this earthly child in endless love until the end of his days ….

Amen

Prediction …. Laws …. Earth Mission …. Teaching of Christ ….

B.D. 0386 from April 23rd 1938, taken from Book No. 9

In a few moons the revelation will come true for you that a spirit will arise which wants to proclaim against the Spirit of God, and when he will set the words, just as it says in the Bible …., then you will recognize by it that all old things will be rejected and something new will arise in the same spirit, i.e. under the same words, but this is not from God, but is given to the people by the adversary to destroy them. In this time some earthly children will ask themselves in tortures of conscience, how they have to place themselves to everything …. Then the serious admonition will go out to you all: Do not detach yourselves from faith in the Lord Jesus Christ …. He alone will show you the right way ….

If you accept His teachings and are ready to confess His name aloud, not a hair of your head can possibly be bent by other powers, because the Lord protects those who are His …. The true power and strength is only given to you through true faith …. And search for this there, where all salvation comes from …. above over the universe …. You will not find salvation of the soul in earthly laws. He who strives for the earth alone neglects to accomplish the most important task. Only following the teaching of Christ is the task that has been set for you for your lifetime.

When you now turn your attention more to worldly laws, when you seek to do justice to these in the first place, then soon the time of grace, which was granted to you for the maturity of the soul, passes by in useless work. You will indeed comply with your earthly duty, but to what benefit …. Where should the blessing rest there, since the heavenly Father alone can reward you …. but the earthly power can fulfill nothing of what it always promises you, if the blessing is not granted to you from above …. And how can the heavenly Father take care of a matter that is not at all in His will ….

How can something be good for mankind if it is directed against the commandments given by God …. if a teaching is rejected which is to be preserved in it’s purity through millennia …. through generations …. Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem mankind, the work of redemption continues and lasts until all eternity …. but mankind wants to invalidate what has been until then, it wants to turn away from this doctrine and wants to form a new doctrine on worldly views, which is not what was given to mankind by Christ anymore ….

The more methodically such a teaching is built up, the wiser it is submitted to people, the less foundation it will have, because the Lord does not want it, that such powers concern themselves with the improvement of a doctrine which is far nobler than a work of God …. and that it is replaced by something worldly, which better meets the requirements of the people. Then the new teaching, which is man’s work, will completely deviate from the true word …. and it’s career will be equal to worldly measures …. it will arise …. it will be changed and supposedly improved, and it will finally collapse in itself ….

For this is the fate of every teaching that is not from God, and therefore can never again be under Divine blessing. For only the pure teaching of Christ can be preserved through thousands of years, and even if there is talk of alleged errors, these are only due to wrong understanding and wrong interpretation, but it will always remain the same and also cannot be eliminated by such reorganization. Because people forget one thing …. that a work of God cannot be arbitrarily dismissed, but rather prevails in all times and through every struggle unaltered and remains eternally unchanged …. because God’s works cannot be improved ….

When people would strive for this, they are biased in great error, because the belief that they can act against God’s commandments is already a completely misguided thought, which only the adversary alone can give to mankind, but will never be executable. God’s Word …. the teachings of Christ, remains inviolable through all eternity, and people will never ever be able to intervene destructively without harming their soul. Watch therefore for the signs from above, which are unmistakable and give you news of the will of the Lord …. Follow them, that ye may be saved from unbelief, but turn yourself ever more intimately to the teaching of Christ ….

Amen

Prediction …. Daniel …. Wrestling of the spirit-beings from the sphere of light ….

B.D. 0387 from April 24th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Those who feel called to reform an existing world order will be judged before their end …. They will fulfill the prophecy of Daniel in the lions’ den, who warns the world against interfering with Jehovah’s will …. According to this, a lowly creature will defy the Lord and will want to rise above the Lord, and that will destroy him temporally and forever. Because as in foreseeable time everything will change …. as everything will pass away, which testified of former greatness, then also in the spiritual world soon a reversal will make itself valid, which will also noticeably affect the earthly children …. because the spirit-beings seek with all power to take possession of the thoughts of the earthly children ….

They make the utmost effort to gain entrance with them to make use of the short time, when they are allowed to work for the souls of men, in every conceivable way. A great harvest is to come, which the Lord wants to have, and although the world still holds innumerable souls captive with it’s charms, the desire for spiritual goods will still become more and more active in them because under the influence of the good spirit-beings, a visible ennoblement of the human children is achieved.

For forces are involved, which have taken their way from the sphere of light to the people, and which are infinitely able to make souls compliant, and which never slacken in the struggle to win souls for Christ. In this way, however, resistance will also be given to the hostile powers …. those who have only the slightest will in themselves to enter the right path will be wrested from them …. And to direct the will in man to divinity, innumerable beings strive in tireless spiritual work …. and their reward will not be small, because every soul is of incomparable value to the heavenly Father, since it is a part of the eternal Deity and that is why the struggle for these souls is so tireless.

If the adversary now prepares a plan to corrupt people in droves, and if, in order to carry out this plan, a planned reshaping of Divine laws is striven for, then anybody who strives for this, inevitably falls prey to the judgment of God …. Because his action is despicable, for it is not only the ruin of his own soul, but also because he strives to lead thousands and thousands of people astray and completely excludes action according to the will of God ….

Because everything is subject to the eternal Creator, and so He will also know how to prosecute at the right time all those who are subject to the hostile power and presume to influence the spirit of man completely erroneously, so that God in His mercy must use extraordinary means on mankind …. that He must first give them through proofs of a rare kind a clear picture of the actual purpose of being human …. But the love of the Lord never ends, and it always finds souls that are turned to the Lord or have not yet found the right understanding in their hearts, but are willing to submit to a higher being …. The Lord lovingly cares for these souls until they have recognized Him …. He does not let them suffer harm, because His love and goodness lasts forever ….

Amen
