 …. takes through prayer. God does not approach them either, yet He is like a loving father to them, always willing to help and to avert all hardship from the earthly child so that His promises will be fulfilled: “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ….” Divine love is acknowledged by every plea that reaches it, and it will therefore also help people who trust in His love. And a person who pleads with God will achieve a lot with Him, for God’s power is immense and His love allows this power to take effect if the person’s soul is not endangered by it ….

amen

Spiritual teachings are always prompted by questions which are asked by beings who desire truth, be it in the beyond or on earth. This instruction is also given to the questioner directly through mental transmission, yet it is also heard by the one who is supposed to proclaim the word on God’s behalf in order to confirm it. And he can therefore answer the disputed question with all clarity, not as his spiritual knowledge, but as truth received from God. For the world will raise many questions, it will want to shake the credibility of God’s word through objections, it will also spread error through misconceptions and plunge people into doubt. Every error should be refuted, every spiritual question clarified and the truth argued for, which is only possible by referring to the word of God, which is conveyed to people in an unadulterated way by God’s great love from Himself. Every person who is hungry for knowledge will be fully satisfied, and every being in the beyond who desires light will be guided towards the light if only the spiritual activity is associated with helping and enlightening the ignorant on earth and in the beyond. For the spiritual hardship is great, only very little real knowledge and insight can be found on earth, the whole of humanity walks in darkness, it lacks all knowledge of the pure truth, and therefore the battle against lies and error is also difficult and often unsuccessful because people also lack the desire for truth. But as soon as this is present, the human being will also be introduced and the right knowledge will be presented to him. This, however, requires that the person who is supposed to teach Him is in truth himself, that he can receive it through heartfelt closeness to God in order to spread it further. And therefore God blesses everyone who places himself at His disposal for this ministry; He answers every question, He constantly teaches and guides the thoughts of the one who wants to teach correctly. And also in the beyond every request for light and knowledge will be granted, for there, too, countless souls have to be redeemed from their dark state, the state of ignorance and therefore also of complete lack of strength, so that these beings are even more dependent on the support of knowing beings, because they cannot liberate themselves on their own, because they can only be relieved through loving activity and this loving activity again first requires knowledge and light which, however, is conveyed to the beings who want to make others happy and redeem them again with it. God is truth, and it will always be His goal to guide all spiritual beings into truth, into the right kind of knowledge, and a request for truth, for knowledge in the right form, will never remain unfulfilled. And God constantly instructs His servants, on earth and in the beyond, to hand out the pure truth to everyone who desires it and wants to be lovingly ….

amen

Spiritual knowledge can never be proven but only substantiated, i.e. a person can draw logical conclusions from it. He can therefore also intellectually acknowledge this conclusion if he adopts an unprejudiced attitude towards it. But evidence can never be provided for it because it is not beneficial for the time on earth that the human being can convince himself of things which do not concern the body but only the spiritual in the body. Nevertheless, the human being himself can be fully convinced that spiritual knowledge is truth, he just cannot pass on this conviction in a scholastic way, but this would be the case if evidence of the correctness of spiritual knowledge could be established. And therefore such knowledge can never be taught …. thus it cannot be transmitted intellectually, but a God-pleasing way of life is always the condition that this knowledge can be received and also understood …. For only the gift of understanding makes what is received into what it is, otherwise it is only words which do not come to life because they lack the inner spirit. And that is why it is not the evidence that is decisive but the will and state of maturity of the one who receives the spiritual knowledge. And this is why knowledge cannot propagate itself through teachings either, for as soon as the human being does not fulfill the conditions set for him he will certainly accept the teachings intellectually but they will not penetrate his heart and will no longer work as knowledge but only as thought material which will not leave a deep impression. For the person who seriously desires true knowledge, however, the reasons, the logical conclusions, which stimulate him to think, are enough to awaken in him the conviction that he is being offered the truth, for it is not his sharp intellectual thinking which gives him the conviction but his heart, his will for truth, which also gives him the power of cognition, the ability to regard true knowledge as truth. Although the truth should be spread, which can only be done by teaching fellow human beings, the willingness of the listener is absolutely necessary in order to recognize the transmitted knowledge as truth. This willingness is more important than evidence, because even evidence would not be convincing if the person is unwilling to be taught the truth. However, the human being must not close his mind to the reasons, as these contribute considerably to convincing him, for the intellect must also be active after the heart has made up its mind so that the knowledge now becomes his intellectual property, which he himself can now defend ….

amen

Many are called, but few are chosen …. Both calling and election depend on God’s grace, but this gift of grace is also determined by the will of the person himself, whether he is receptive to it, i.e. whether he makes himself worthy of the exceptional influx of divine grace. God has called all people to eternal bliss, and yet it depends on the will of the individual that he is worthy of it. All people can feel called, but it is up to them to decide how they feel about it. There is no compulsion from above, just as an individual’s preference does not effortlessly help him to ascend, but every extraordinary supply of grace is only the result of a will that is seriously turned to God and makes an effort to fulfill the divine will. Then God’s love takes hold of him and strengthens and supports him through an abundant influx of grace, which brings about his perfection. And these are the chosen ones, they are His own, who are constantly allowed to receive grace from Him because they want to receive it and constantly ask for it. Thus the human being’s will is absolutely essential for him to be chosen in the first place, and yet no-one can say that he is not also called on this earth, for since he lives on earth for the purpose of his higher development God Himself has called him to cover the path upwards and He also makes His grace available to him for this purpose. However, very few people pay attention to their calling, i.e. they only live their lives in a purely earthly way and ignore their actual calling. God cannot choose any of these people, for granting them an excess of grace against their will would mean an inevitable higher development which has no value if the being thereby loses its free will. Yet God needs servants on earth to help those who disregard their calling …. And He can only choose these from amongst those who, of their own free will, make themselves worthy of an exceptional gift of grace, who therefore make use of the measure of grace they receive and who, through their prayer, can avail themselves of a constant supply of grace. among these, therefore, He chooses His workers and endows them with extraordinary power …. These are the chosen ones who always and constantly receive graces, but who have previously surrendered their will to God, who have voluntarily responded to the calling and have always used the supply of grace for their spiritual progress. The first are called, even without their will, yet they do not follow the call, but these are likewise called by God and offer no resistance, but there are only a few whom God can now consider so extraordinarily that they are regarded as God’s chosen ones …. There are only a few who allow themselves to be chosen by God, who strive towards Him with all their senses and therefore can also receive gifts of grace in abundance …. that they can become children of the father and enter His kingdom ….

amen

With love and devotion you should pronounce the name of Jesus, it should be the holiest thing to you, you should carry it in your heart, it should be the star that shines in the dark night and the sun that shines brightly and gives you life. And you should not allow this most holy name to be mocked, but confront those who do so and admonish them to desist, so that they will not perish forever …. His name is to be kept holy, for it holds great power for those who speak it in faith and want to receive this power. You will receive what you ask for in His name, for He Himself has given you this promise; you will work miracles in His name who, as His disciples, want to prove the power of faith to people, you will be able to banish evil by invoking His name, for nothing can resist Him and the powers of darkness retreat from Him. They fear Him and His power. And if you make use of His name in order to work for Him, your work will also be a blessed one, for He Himself stands by your side and His grace floods you. His name will be your weapon in the battle against your enemies who want to denigrate His name, who do not acknowledge Him and declare open war on Him. And you will have to use this weapon if you get into serious trouble where no earthly help seems possible for you …. then call upon Him, faithfully pronounce His name, hand yourselves over to Him and He will save you, for He is everywhere where His help is requested and His power is truly greater than the power of His enemies …. The power of the divine name will also be experienced by those who lack all reverence for His holiness and who therefore unscrupulously destroy everything that has (takes?) reference to Jesus Christ and His teaching, who do not recognize the eternal deity in Him, who want to stamp His word as the work of men and therefore try to eradicate Him and His teaching without fearing the power of God. They will carry out actions that will horrify the believers …. they will mock His name and abuse it until God works through His servants, until they cast a spell over them by opposing the name of Jesus …. that they are unable to speak and blaspheme against Him, that they are deprived of all power and the power of God is physically perceptible to them. For His name is holy, and he who abuses it, who blasphemes His holy name, must atone for it …. Their sin is too great to remain unpunished, and if this still results in punishment on earth, the human being is still given a reprieve …. to recognize and repent, to ask for forgiveness of his grave guilt. For God does not allow Himself to be mocked …. His love is boundless, yet when people take action against Him themselves their hearts are hardened and they themselves fall prey to satan, who uses their will to fight Jesus Christ and take action against Him and His word. His power, however, is greater and it also shares itself with those who believingly pronounce His name when they are in need ….

amen

Be fearless and do not despair, for He who speaks to you from the clouds knows His own and His love protects you. The day is not far off that will bring turmoil and hours that no man will forget. God shows Himself in all His might and His voice resounds mightily and cannot be ignored. Once again He warns people beforehand by announcing Himself through unusual darkness, He thereby gives His own a sign to gather in prayer and to ask for strength, for intimate closeness to God ensures them the supply of this strength. Yet just one thought is enough, which is sent up to Him from the heart. However, He also wants to give all of humanity the opportunity to take refuge in Him, to recognize Him and to pledge to change their way of life. He gives them the opportunity to change their will, but only a few make use of it. And this day will find few prepared people, most of them will only accept a rare natural phenomenon which will soon disappear again. And that is why the voice of God now sounds more powerful, and all elements of nature obey this voice and unleash themselves. And God will speak to people through the forces of nature, but only very few will listen to Him and they will watch the events in horror, fear for their lives and try to save themselves. And as God has determined in His wisdom, the end of this natural event …. those will survive who are still given the time of grace to change; and countless people will lose their earthly life whom God’s mercy calls to …. maturity and immaturity to serve as a salutary admonition to others. Yet even these will still have the opportunity to continue maturing in the beyond because they had to lay down their lives for their fellow human beings, because a natural event of such magnitude claims human lives and their earthly life has already ended before the time. Yet even they will experience terrible things before their death and their souls can still benefit from them in the last hour if they are willing, if only they recognize God in the reign of the elements and commend themselves to Him and His grace. They lose their life and yet can gain it for eternity …. But He stands by His own and gives them extraordinary strength …. Their faith will not be shaken even though they experience terrible things and fall into great physical hardship. For this is why He proclaims it beforehand that their souls will not be timid when the hour has come …. His love is with all who belong to Him, whose will turns to Him ….

amen

Only a few people take the straight path to reach the truth, the direct path to God, Who offers it to them unreservedly. People do not become small and humble in the sense of the word and bow before Him in the realization of their own inadequacy and weakness. They overestimate their intellect and their own strength. And so they believe that they can acquire the truth through research and pondering. But they forget that spiritual truths are only handed out by God Himself, that no human being can take them for himself but that they have to be given to him, and that the giver of truth considers those who come to Him like begging children and ask Him for His gift of grace in a feeling of spiritual poverty. Man should wrestle and pray …. wrestle against the enemy of his soul, who wants to make him incapable of recognizing God by feeding him error, by taking possession of his thinking, thus this wrestling requires a strengthened will …. and pray for strength, grace and truth. The gift of grace, which God conveys to earth, fully enlightens the human being so that he need only follow the path (prescribed to him) in order to be introduced to the truth. And even if people try to reach it in various ways, they have to take this one path …. the path to God, otherwise they will never be able to penetrate the profound knowledge, even if knowledge is intellectually made accessible to them through fellow human beings. It will only gain life when its spirit is enlightened by God and this requires humble prayer. Therefore, faith in a being must first be present Who, as the giver of truth, connects Himself with the human being if he strives for a connection with Him. Faith in this being is a prerequisite in order to be able to be introduced to the truth. However, if this faith is not present then the intellect will only be active in a negative way, i.e. it will draw conclusions which deviate from the truth, because then it will be a welcome object for the forces of darkness, which will then take it upon themselves to confuse its thoughts. God can only express Himself where He is acknowledged …. but acknowledgment is faith …. And this initial faith in a perfect being will soon experience an all-encompassing expansion, for as soon as this perfect being is asked to enlighten the spirit, to convey the pure truth, it will also become possible for the human being to believe everything that is mentally presented to him, for this is the characteristic of truth, that its conveyance is accompanied by the strength of recognition, that the human being therefore recognizes the truth as such and that this is convinced faith. If a person tries to attain knowledge intellectually he is indeed just as convinced of the truth of his intellectual results as every representative of a school of thought proves, yet the person who seriously struggles for truth must also seriously ask himself whether prayer to God in all humility of heart for the pure truth and the right knowledge has formed the basis of his knowledge …. For God is the giver of truth, and God also distributes it to the one who consciously turns his will to Him and expresses this through heartfelt prayer. This is a condition from which God does not deviate and which is therefore the touchstone where various results claim the right to be recognized as pure truth ….

amen

You may accept every proclamation with complete faith, for it is purest truth because God Himself conveys it to you. And if something seems incomprehensible to you then submit it to Him, Who will not leave you without an answer. And His spiritual helpers are always ready to enlighten you where there is still darkness in you, for God’s will is to make you knowledgeable, and God’s will is always fulfilled by those beings of light …. beings of light are receivers and transmitters of power from God …. their activity consists of filling everything without strength with the strength from God if it turns to God of its own free will. However, this strength will always have a spiritual effect and therefore this strength will not manifest itself so obviously that it is recognizable to a person who is far removed from the spiritual. The spiritual beings, which only fulfill God’s instructions, will always order the mental activity of people who turn to God Himself in their desire for truth. This is the spiritual work of these beings, and this work is always successful as soon as people do not oppose it. But resistance exists when the human being is either indifferent to the truth or desires it by excluding the eternal deity, that is, when he tries to penetrate the truth purely intellectually. Then those beings cannot approach him, for he is surrounded by beings of darkness who want to lead him into erroneous thinking and thus find a welcome reception for their mental whisperings. For people are not taught by beings of light against their will, i.e. without a willingness to receive, otherwise it would be a forced development. Thus the dark beings can likewise mentally influence people but never carry out a spiritual process which requires strength, which is therefore also visible to people …. by creating something which was not there before and which goes beyond the natural ability of man. It is different with the execution of actions which as such lie within the range of human ability, only requiring more or less physical strength. These are carried out with the life force flowing into the human being, which can also be strengthened by his willingness to perform these actions. This life force is likewise imparted to him by spiritual beings according to his willingness to do good or evil. The beings of light constantly have power at their disposal from God, which they constantly receive and pass on, just as the dark beings also receive such from their producer, who receives his power from God but uses it for God-opposing work. The attitude towards God or towards His adversary determines from where the strength flows to the human being, just as the human will uses it for good or evil deeds. An expression of strength can extend to natural or supernatural achievements, but it will always have to be described as vitality because these actions are always carried out by people who have a certain ability to do so and which can only be considerably increased by the influx of strength. However, the process of a transmission of spiritual thoughts in such a form that the results are also visible, i.e. audible, to other people is to be assessed differently insofar as it is a purely spiritual emanation of strength which neither contributes to the preservation of bodily life nor to the strengthening of physical strength but only promotes the higher development of the soul. And such a transmission of strength can only take place on the part of beings which are themselves recipients of strength from God. However, the beings of darkness lack spiritual strength and therefore cannot distribute it, much less can they induce the human being into an activity which requires spiritual strength …. so that something comes into being which the human being is incapable of without a spiritual supply of strength. For every human being would then have to be able to write about the same subjects without any help and at the same time, even if they differed from each other, as soon as the powers of darkness had the same power at their disposal to instruct people. They use the power at their disposal for works of unkindness and hatred, but they try to spread error through mental influence, yet only where the human being’s will is inclined towards evil. And therefore a transmission of strength in this form, where spiritual knowledge is imparted to people, must always be addressed as the working of spiritual forces which are in the light, thus they are recipients of light and strength from God and are therefore permitted as teaching forces, i.e. instructed by God to bring light to people and to spread wisdom, thus the truth from God. God’s adversary will indeed spare no means to convey the lie and the error to people, yet he uses worldly-minded and materially thinking people for this purpose, and he also influences them in a purely worldly and material way so that they pursue all other goals than spiritual ones; and they neither recognize the error and the lie nor do they desire the truth. They are inclined towards the mental whisperings of the evil forces and now they are active in spreading them of their own free will by using their human ability to convey misguided teachings to their fellow human beings in word and writing. However, these mediations do not reveal anything extraordinary, there can be no talk of extraordinary activity and supernatural power which, however, is indisputably revealed by the spiritual writings ….

amen

Unite with Me in spirit and accept My blessing …. The light which shines down to earth cannot go out because My will has ignited it and its rays shall shine far into the darkness of night. And the wisdoms which are conveyed to earth break through the darkness of misguided thinking, and whoever surrenders to their effect will become bright day and the brightness will trigger joy in him. The cooperation with Me must produce results which unmistakably carry My strength, thus anyone who unites with Me must absorb the rays of My sun of wisdom, and these rays will never lose their strength wherever they are directed. Yet the effect of the strength depends on the person’s will …. But I do not force him …. And thus you shall stand in the light of My sun of grace and be allowed to constantly receive rays of light, and it shall be up to you to whom you direct these rays, for your thinking is likewise bright and ordered by My spirit …. It is My spirit within you which now determines what you should or should not do, and you are only the executors if you do not resist the inner voice. And then you will fulfill My will, for I guide you and all your steps …. I let you speak according to My will and your actions are also based on My will because you have offered yourselves to Me, because you have given yourselves to Me. For your union with Me in heartfelt prayer earns you My blessing …. But My blessing consists of the fact that I approve of everything you think, speak and do and give it the success which is favorable for you and your fellow human beings’ salvation. Fear no human will where My will exists, where I Myself am your companion on all your paths; let the rays of light shine far into the darkness, and if you are hindered, if doors and windows are closed to the light from outside, do not let yourselves be disappointed, do not let yourselves become weary but keep on hurrying with the light which draws its rays from Me …. it cannot go out, its light becomes ever brighter and more radiant the closer the day is that follows this dark night. And no one is able to block out the bright light, only he himself can escape it by virtue of his free will. The power of the word, which is truth and contains the deepest wisdom, penetrates even the densest error when the time has come for this power to take effect …. And then the darkness will give way, the light will displace it, I Myself will emerge in all glory and I will gather around Me those who stand in the light …. And through the light the darkness will be defeated ….

amen

God will be merciful to those who still recognise their wrongdoing in time and distance themselves from it, but He will inflict severe punishment without mercy on those who are unyieldingly cruel, who have no compassion even for their fellow human beings and thus pass judgment on themselves through their unkindness. And the approaching time will testify of people’s depravity, the most unimaginable means intended for destruction will be devised; and people will not hesitate to use these means to accomplish their plans, and humanity’s despair will increase. The leaders, as well as their followers who agreed and supported their plans, will be held responsible for everything. For God is just and He passes judgment according to thoughts, words and deeds …. Nothing is hidden from Him; He looks into the human heart and every genuine emotion determines the amount of mercy at its disposal, that it is granted to him when the end has come …. For the end will come without fail …. It will be accelerated by people’s behaviour and thus an era will come to an end that would not result in a better human generation even if God extended His patience and offered humanity many more opportunities to change themselves. But they no longer make use of them and thus God will put an end to earthly life ….

This period of development was particularly gracious for humanity and could have sufficed completely for its salvation. Although God will support people until the end with remarkable gifts of grace they will be mostly ignored, just as everything in relation to God or the benefit of their own souls will generally not be taken notice of. Thus a longer stay on this earth would be inappropriate, that is, it will only benefit the body but not the immortal soul. Therefore the soul’s earthly opportunity will be taken away, but it still has the assurance for further development in the beyond if it does not reject God’s Word in the beyond too, and only if it loses its physical life before the Last Judgment, before the end of this earth, and is accepted into the realm of the beyond. Death before this event is even an exceptional mercy for the human being if he has not made his decision on earth. Afterwards in the beyond he will still find ample opportunity to be helpful and serve with love and in so doing continue his interrupted development, indeed he can even start it if he does not refuse to listen to helpful souls. In that case he can regress even further and return into most solid matter, after which he has to repeat the long earthly path before he can embody himself as a human being again. Thus God still has many blessings available before He destroys the old earth but He will not force people’s will, and depending on how they accept His mercy they will derive benefit for their souls …. they will remain empty and incapable on earth as well as in the beyond if they ignore and reject all blessings, or they will rapidly achieve higher development by readily allowing every gift of grace to take effect on themselves and thereby receive much more strength. For God is exceedingly gracious and merciful but also just, and He will give to people according to their will ….

Amen

There is great hardship on earth because lies and error prevail, and if people are not to go to ruin they must be guided into the truth, for only the truth can help them to ascend again. Intellectually, however, people can no longer recognize the truth because they lack the ability to do so due to their wrong way of life, they do not know how to distinguish lies and error from the truth. They have no power of judgment and therefore every examination is unsuccessful as long as they only carry it out intellectually. However, the pure truth is absolutely necessary in order to change the current state on earth, to remedy the spiritual as well as the earthly adversity and to bring people closer to God again. And that is why God takes pity on them and His love tries to help them. He looks away from humanity’s depravity and conveys the truth to earth even though people have no desire for it and are therefore incapable of receiving it …. He makes use of a mediator, a human being who has approached Him of his own free will and humbly asks Him for enlightenment of spirit …. a person who carries the desire for truth within himself and is therefore suitable as God’s instrument to receive it, who, through loving activity, puts his soul into a state that it can hear everything it now receives in terms of truth. God Himself now speaks to humanity through the human mouth …. It is His word which He imparts to people by pouring out His spirit upon a willing earthly child who is willing to serve Him and wants to help his fellow human beings …. Through this He sends pure truth down to earth in order to displace lies and error and thereby remedy the spiritual depression which brings earthly and spiritual hardship and misery to people. But whether people accept this truth offered to them in love, whether they give up the lie and the error for it and walk along in the brightness of the spirit, depends entirely on their will. They are not forced but can decide for themselves, however, God’s love makes the pure truth accessible to them so that the decision should then be easy for them if they seriously weigh up the former against lies and error. Only the will for truth is necessary for it to be conveyed to the human being, for then he will also recognize it as truth. But if this will is lacking then the truth will fade away completely unimpressively in people’s ears, and then the last possibility of salvation will have remained unused. Mankind will continue to persist in untruth and will never again be able to enter the path of ascent, for error and lies obstruct this path; error and lies do not lead to God but to His adversary; error and lies signify spiritual darkness, a complete spiritual disintegration and downfall of souls. The spirit from God can no longer be active in the souls which have fallen prey to error and lies, which is why they are in profound ignorance and move further and further away from God. The truth from God, which is offered to them through a mediator, is the last possibility of salvation for the souls; however, if this remains unheeded, God completely withdraws His love from people and leaves them to their self-chosen fate. He gives everyone what is his, i.e. what the soul desires. And thus error and lies, profound ignorance and therefore a lightless state is the soul’s fate from which it can hardly free itself again, and this state is truly unenviable if the soul passes into the beyond …. The souls are in a dreadful situation which can only be remedied by the truth again but which is no longer offered to them as easily as on earth, where it is always and forever conveyed to people who only have the slightest desire for it. Without truth there is no ascent, no light and no bliss; for truth is God, truth emanates from God and leads people back to God; and anyone who flees the truth will never come close to God and the light of eternal life will not be granted to him …. Spiritual distress will not depart from those who flee from the truth, for without the truth no one can be saved ….

amen

Making correct use of the gift of intelligence is absolutely essential for the soul’s higher development, since the human being was given intellect so that he can mentally process everything that exists and happens around him and thereby reach conclusions which consciously make him seek the eternally Divine. By using the intellect, free will becomes active in him, for a person will only want something if his intellect has portrayed the benefit of this volition to him, thus the will is always the result of thinking …. And the correct use of intellect, i.e., to want what is good and to detest evil, must inevitably advance the soul’s maturity. One cannot speak of correct use of intellect if the latter impels someone to behave badly; in that case the gifts of intellect are being misused. With serious and sensible deliberation, a person can easily recognise the activity of a wise creative Power which brought everything surrounding him into existence and that this creative Power continues to care for its creations. Once a person has come this far then the intellect will be able to persuade the will into making contact with this creative Power, for he has to regard himself as an independently thinking being, thus as His living creation, subsequently he also has to acknowledge the Creator as an equally thinking Being of supreme perfection, and this awareness is enough to establish a connection with the Creator.

Every human being can arrive at this conclusion if he uses his intellect in order to come closer to the truth. The fact that his mental activity will be correctly guided afterwards is this Creator’s working as soon as the person has consciously established a connection with Him. However, the human being was given intellect in order to use it until the moment of contact, thus it was added to free will in order to enable the latter’s move in the right direction which leads to the goal, to contact with God. The only condition is that a person must want what is good of his own volition, then his reasoning will invariably lead him to the goal. Thus the intellect has to be used for activating the will to consciously establish a connection with God, yet prior to that this will must have made a decision in favour of God, otherwise the mental activity will have been used incorrectly by refraining from all serious deliberation and merely assessing the advantages and disadvantages of his surroundings and what takes place therein. In that case, he will not be making full use of the gift of reasoning and the result will be accordingly …. he will never reach the goal, instead he will always doubt or be mistaken, for he is influenced by good or evil forces according to his will. With earnest use, the mind can even change an ill-will, and this is indeed its task. For this reason the human being has to justify himself if he misuses the gift of intelligence, if he fails to use it for its actual purpose …. to come closer to the truth, which God does not withhold from anyone who seriously strives for it through earnest mental activity. With the right determination he will be extremely successful and after serious deliberation, he will also influence his determination to aim towards the same goal ….

Amen

People do not yet realize where they are drifting to, for their thoughts are too focused on earthly events to pay attention to their spiritual state. They fear for their earthly life and for the loss of earthly possessions. But they are indifferent to the salvation of their souls because they deny it and do not allow themselves to be instructed. Nor will the divine intervention teach them to think differently, for they will also try to explain it in earthly terms and never accept their lack of faith as an indirect cause. And this is why the adversity on earth has assumed such proportions, there is no human being who does not feel it, and the believer will not remain unaffected by it either, after all, his attitude towards it should motivate his fellow human beings to join his faith, which gives people the strength to endure everything God allows to come upon them. People lack this faith and consequently do not see a spiritual cause in their earthly adversity either, and consequently they do not remedy this adversity by changing their life, by living a way of life which is entirely in accordance with God’s will. But they cannot be helped other than that suffering and affliction is their constant companion until they have detached themselves from earth and everything that concerns earth, until they think of their relationship with the creator of heaven and earth and try to improve this relationship of their own free will, only then will they become indifferent to earthly matter, death is before their eyes every day, and only then will they realize that their life must have a different meaning, and they try to fathom this meaning, they call themselves to account and seriously ask themselves whether and how they have fulfilled the divine commandments, for once they believe in a power before Whom they will have to answer one day they also acknowledge God’s commandments, and this belief now comes alive in them, it impels them to inner changes and also to eager activity towards those who still think completely earthly and make no effort to change. But they will not always be successful. Where the desire for earthly possessions is too strong, the human being is distant from all spiritual thoughts, he is only interested in world events, he suffers unspeakably from them but only ever for worldly reasons, he never considers the hardship of those who are severely affected precisely because their souls are in great need. For divine love still wants to save them before it is too late, He still wants them to come to realization and therefore lets the earth go through external tribulation so that a few will still be saved whose hearts are not yet completely hardened ….

It is a purely spiritual process when the human being’s soul unites with its spirit, and therefore this process need not be outwardly marked by gestures or ceremonial actions in any way. As soon as the soul seeks union with the spiritual kingdom, as soon as it unites with God in prayer or tries to make contact with the beings of light through thoughts which it sends into the spiritual kingdom, it detaches itself from the earthly environment, it no longer pays attention to the body and thus frees itself from everything earthly, because this is an obstacle to an intimate union. And so every external action, every ceremony, must also be regarded as an obstacle that impairs the intimate connection with God or the spiritual world. For as soon as it is performed purely mechanically, it is worthless and unnecessary, but if the human being’s thought is involved, then the spiritual connection loses its depth. The will may be good, but the human being himself reduces the supply of strength which arises from this connection. The spiritual does not tolerate earthly inhibitions, i.e., the spiritual effects are corresponding. Man never needs to make known to the outside that he establishes the spiritual connection; it is enough that the fellow human being knows about his striving and tries to follow him again in such a way that he quietly goes into himself and communes with God or the spiritual beings. For he must know that the spiritual world only finds pleasure in spiritual actions, that even the physical ceremony of kneeling down is meaningless to the spiritual world, because it is not the sign of humility before God but humility itself which pleases Him and also earns the person His grace. God, however, does not need external proof but He looks into the heart, and the external actions often lack the inner life; but people themselves are often satisfied with these ceremonies and have only performed them for their fellow human being, which does not bring any spiritual advantage to the soul. And therefore the human being should always make an effort to completely detach himself from earthly customs and forms, he should use every free minute to establish intimate contact with the spiritual world, he should leave the earthly world outside and not take anything over from it, but only the soul should wander into the spiritual kingdom so that divine gifts of grace can flow to it through this union at any time ….

Wisdom is spiritual knowledge that fully corresponds to the truth. Wisdom is knowledge which, exhausted in its entire depth, makes people unspeakably happy; it is knowledge which can never ever be refuted because wisdom cannot withstand any counter-knowledge. And that is why wisdom must be of divine origin, because only from God alone can something emanate that is perfect and therefore cannot be criticized. God alone can hand out knowledge which has this claim to perfection because His nature is wisdom itself. Human knowledge, however, will always be and remain an object of dispute, for it will never be inviolable but will change, just as the people who have acquired the knowledge intellectually change. The human being believes himself to be knowledgeable as soon as he has completed his research in one area, but whether it is the right knowledge that corresponds to the truth is not proven. On the earthly side, proof can also be demanded and provided for worldly knowledge, in which case it is not groundless and the person now also rightly believes himself to be knowledgeable …. However, this knowledge is not yet wisdom …. Earthly knowledge can be acquired through research, but spiritual knowledge …. wisdom …. is imparted to man by the spirit of God, by a knowing power that cannot err and also never passes on erroneous thoughts. Wisdom is therefore the truth transmitted by God in its purest form …. Anyone who has received wisdom from God will no longer find earthly knowledge desirable, for the wisdom from God constantly increases his desire for it, and it is now the most precious commodity for the human being which he no longer wants to give away and which he does not want to replace with earthly knowledge either. For the wise person knows that earthly knowledge has no eternal value and that it is not irrefutable either; he knows that the success of earthly knowledge is again only earthly possessions, honor and fame, whereas divine wisdom enables the human being to achieve the ultimate goal …. to become perfect on earth and to enter the spiritual kingdom as a being of light …. For divine wisdom carries power within itself, it enlightens the human being and makes him capable of work on earth, which he carries out in the service of the lord …. it enables him to hand out spiritual knowledge again and to lead countless souls to knowledge and to show them the way to God. Wisdom emanates from God and leads all beings back to Him, Who is wisdom Himself ….

amen

It is God’s will that all those who profess Him in their hearts should also do so before the world, that they should not be afraid to openly present themselves as His followers, that they should not allow themselves to be intimidated by threats but remain faithful to Him. For an open decision will be demanded and the believers are to draw strength from their faith to stand firm. And that is why God gives them His promises beforehand, He directs His word to earth in order to strengthen the faith of those who accept His word as a mission from above. He assures them of His protection when the world will turn against the believers, and He points them to the coming time in order to prepare the people who listen to His voice. But He demands of them that they do not betray and deny Him when the hour of decision has come, when the unbelievers use their power to take action against the believers, when they demand the surrender of everything that is people’s spiritual property …. the surrender of faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer. Then people should resist this demand, they should loudly and fearlessly confess whose side they are on, they should fight for their faith by speaking fearlessly as soon as the decision is demanded of them. They will indeed meet with incomprehension from the worldly people and their statements will be ridiculed and mocked, but this should not make the believers waver, it should rather increase their courage of conviction so that they test the strength of faith where the opportunity presents itself. For the unbelievers will, as it were, challenge them to prove the effectiveness of their faith, and for the sake of the souls which can still be won, the believers should not hesitate to prove it to them. For as long as they themselves are deep believers, they will not lack strength. They will accomplish things which clearly prove God’s working because He Himself will now express Himself through the believers. And thus He wants people to stand up for Him and His name, for only in this way is it possible to convince the unbelievers who are not yet completely turned away from God. It is a special grace that God still comes to their aid in their inability to believe, but it requires people’s cooperation so that the unbelievers are not forced to believe but can decide completely freely. And this is why God requires people to confess before the world, so that the strength of faith can visibly manifest itself and people can be offered the final opportunity to recognize God and His strength and power ….

amen

The law which God’s love has given and which is based on divine wisdom must also reveal love and wisdom. The lawgiver must want to achieve something which is a blessing for His works of creation because He loves them; He must have determined the divine order in the wisest realization of the shortcomings of these creations in such a way that these shortcomings are remedied as soon as the creature observes this order. The latter applies to the stage when the being embodies itself as a human being, because in the preliminary stages the being in creation cannot help but uphold this order since it is in a state of compulsion, in a state where its will is bound and the being is guided by God’s will, thus it has to comply with divine law. In the last stage, however, the being is able to recognize both the love and the wisdom of God, it is able to live in the divine order as well as to violate it. However, it also possesses the ability to intellectually recognize both the love and the wisdom of God, which is why it can easily remain in the divine order. But if it does not use the gifts of the intellect by ignoring God’s reign and activity, then neither divine love nor divine wisdom will become apparent to it, and then it will also not make an effort to fulfill the laws as it is set as its task during its earthly life. Then it violates them and understandably cannot achieve the goal of becoming perfect and being granted eternal bliss by God. For God’s love and wisdom truly choose the right means …. and these are the creations on which the divine laws are based. Every adaptation of this divine order on the part of man must perfect him, whereas a violation of it inevitably means a spiritual regression or standstill depending on the manner of this violation. For the human being then transgresses against love and does not respect God’s wisdom, and for the being this means a renewed rebellion against God in the stage of free will which was given to him in order to finally join the eternal deity. Every word, every thought and every action must therefore be adapted to the divine order, which means that they likewise have their origin in love and always acknowledge God’s wisdom, otherwise they would be contrary to the divine order. The whole of earthly life has to unfold in accordance with divine order, then at the end of earthly life the being will clearly recognize God’s immense love as well as His unsurpassable wisdom, which wanted to help him attain unknown glories and therefore gave him an eternal law, the fulfillment of which earns him those glories. This law is easy to fulfill by the beings embodied as man, if he shapes himself to love, then he feels nothing as compulsion, but only as a predetermined path to bliss. In contrast, the unloving human being will perceive every demand of God as oppressive and restricting his freedom and will withdraw from fulfilling those laws, he will feel driven to violate the divine order, he will see neither wisdom nor love in it and constantly rebel against it, which is why he will never be able to reach the final goal, for God will not deviate from His requirements, which admittedly only apply to the final stage of embodiment, whereas in the preliminary stages one cannot speak of requirements but God’s will, His legislation, governs all living creations, thus the being cannot help but live in accordance with this divine order and therefore fulfills the divine law in the state of compulsion. And in these preliminary stages nothing created will rebel against the divine order, for it has previously expressed its will before it became the respective embodiment. As a human being, however, his will is once again given freedom and the opposing power of God tries to win him over again. Thus the opposing power of God presents the divine order to man as a compulsion from which he should try to escape. God, however, has given him understanding, through which man can observe the love and wisdom of God and thereby gain faith in God. But faith also gives him the strength to live in the divine order, it gives him the strength to be lovingly active himself and to no longer regard the law as a compulsion but as a means applied in love and wisdom to gain eternal bliss, and it will now be easy for him to fulfill this law. And this is why the human being also has to justify himself if he listens to the adversary’s ideas, because he can use his intellect and he would not make use of this gift otherwise he would have to recognize the groundlessness, the falsity of those ideas. Yet a person’s will is free and neither love nor God’s wisdom forces people to recognize when their will is not inclined towards Him ….

amen

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

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

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

Amen

It is an unwritten law that people should help each other, that the strong should help the weak, that adversity and misery should be alleviated and that everyone should give what the other person needs. And this unwritten law is no longer adhered to because earthly authorities do not sanction it. People only comply with what is forcibly demanded of them, and this is no act of neighbourly love, even though it is presented as kind-hearted activity. Only what a person does out of profound love and mercy for his fellow human being can be regarded by God as an act of neighbourly love. However, this inner impetus is missing in people because they no longer know love. Even the support they are expected to give to their fellow human being are activities which lack the true guiding principle …. This is lawfully applied love, not the kind of love God had demanded of people, as it should be in order to shape God-like humans who will find the unification with God again. And yet, God has placed this law into people’s hearts, for every person knows how he should behave in order to live a God-pleasing life on earth. However, the inner voice impelling him is hushed up, it is not listened to, and its admonitions gradually fade out until it is completely silent. And even if God’s servants preach love to people, even if the blessing or harm of their way of life is made clear to them, they ignore these admonitions as well, they are only interested in their own wellbeing and go past their fellow human beings, their weakness and helplessness, unmoved, they are inwardly dead, the spark of love is smothered, they deteriorate into heartlessness and hatred and are capable of any actions which cause harm to other people’s body and soul. This state will not change anymore; it will not change for the better unless God forcefully manifests Himself, unless He raises His voice so loudly that people will be overcome by fear and horror and seriously take stock of themselves and reconsider their way of life. They will not listen to the voice of the believers and of their own accord they cannot return to the path love. And since He does not want people to go astray who merely need an impetus in order to take stock of themselves, God Himself will appear. Love may not be excluded in life or humanity will approach total destruction. For once love has grown cold, God will be infinitely far away from the being He once brought into existence from His love. Heartlessness, however, withdraws all strength from the being, and thus people will steer towards the abyss, towards destruction, if they disregard love, which is the fundamental substance of the divine work of creation. Where love does not exist, God cannot be present …. But God is the Preserver of all things, and without Him and His strength His works of creation will dissolve, including the Earth and with it every creature, as soon as love disappears from it, as soon as the human being has become so heartless that God will withdraw His love from him, because as pure Love He can only be present where love exists ….

Amen

Earthly experience has to help you humans achieve spiritual maturity, then the purpose of earthly life will be fulfilled. And this is why life cannot pass by without disappointments and suffering, for only these contribute towards the human being turning his thoughts away from earthly things, whereas a carefree, happy earthly existence only chains the human being more firmly to the world and occupies his every thought, making it difficult for him to turn to God. No event is therefore in vain, whether it brings joy or suffering for the human being, and as soon as he derives the right benefit from everything, i.e. advancement for his soul, he will one day look back with gratitude at the means God used to help him achieve eternal bliss. The earthly effect of an event is unimportant with regard to the soul’s development, for the human being was only given earthly life for the sake of the soul, because the soul is imperishable, whereas earthly life does not last forever and is therefore not important. But if an earthly experience has an influence on the soul and its development then it is always good, even if it brings suffering and tribulation to the human being, for this too will pass, but the soul constantly progresses upwards and one day gratefully acknowledges that it would not have been able to mature without suffering and tribulation. And so earthly life is a chain of such aids, which are all given to the human being by God’s wisdom and love and serve his development if he does not rebel against them and unwillingly and grumblingly takes these burdens upon himself. The human being should always be convinced that nothing comes upon him without God’s will or His permission and that every event can bring him blessings, then he will also humbly accept the difficulties, he will regard his earthly existence as a means to an end, as a path to perfection which is not only useful but necessary. He will derive an advantage for his soul from every experience, for he will recognize everything that comes upon him as having been sent by God. He will then also live his life consciously and seriously consider how every trial, every earthly event, can benefit his soul, and he will mature in knowledge, he will educate himself to patience and submission to God’s will, he will purify himself through suffering and renunciations of all kinds and thus shape himself according to God’s will, as soon as he submits uncomplainingly to everything that is granted to him in earthly life. Then not a day on earth will have been lived in vain, he will make use of his last embodiment on earth and his state of soul must mature, spiritual progress must be certain for him, even if he has to struggle hard on earth. For earthly life is a school which is intended to bring maturity of soul to all people …. earth is a place of purification. And the human being will only be successful if he tests his will and strength against all kinds of opposition and thereby becomes stronger to overcome all temptations that come his way during his earthly life ….

amen

The blatant rejection of My word proves a still significant spiritual low, a lack of heartfelt love and heartfelt bond with Me. For through love and conscious desire for Me the spirit in the human being is already awakened, and this spiritual spark recognizes Me and will never ever reject Me. My working will be understandable to him, My love and omnipotence justifies My working to him, and he also recognizes the spiritual adversity which has moved My love and omnipotence to come to people’s aid …. And thus it can be safely concluded that a person is still inwardly alienated from Me, even if his words sound different if he rejects My word and does not acknowledge Me as the originator of it. My gift speaks for Me, and My gift is recognizable to the one who already carries Me in his heart through heartfelt prayer and loving activity. I am love and therefore in every person who is active in love; so how could a person who is already united to Me through love not recognize My voice? He must only pay attention to My word, he must seriously want to test My word and not the recipient of My word, for only I, Who sees through a person’s heart and mind, am entitled to test him …. You will recognize them by their fruits …. so you should test the fruits …. My word, which also reveals its origin to you brightly and clearly, if you are able to test it through a way of life pleasing to Me, through working in love and eagerly striving for Me …. Therefore only reject what is offered to you if it is in accordance with My love, wisdom and omnipotence …. if it contradicts My divine nature …. Only then do you have the right to reject it. But whatever teaches you love and reveals My love for you, whatever reveals My greater than great wisdom and omnipotence, accept it as My word, given by Myself and conveyed to earth in order to help you humans in spiritual adversity. Where would you humans end up if I did not want to approach you again and again with mercy? People no longer respect what they possess, for they no longer feel the strength since the mediators of My word no longer carry it alive in their hearts but only pass on adopted spiritual knowledge which lacks any life. And I want to give you the living word again, which supplies you with all strength and which is therefore also much more effective if you accept it and live accordingly. And every person who seriously desires the truth and strives towards Me must also recognize My word, for I truly do not give it such that it is difficult for people to accept it as a father’s gift if they themselves are not inwardly distant from Me. Everyone who is of good will will be able to feel the strength flowing from My word. What child does not recognize the voice of its father? …. And if I therefore speak loving words to My children, don’t reject them but gratefully accept what My love offers you so that My word will refresh you and provide you with the strength you need in the time to come ….

amen

Eternities have already passed since God’s merciful love had turned to the creatures of the one who had begotten them in God-opposing will. These creatures had emerged from His adversary’s will, yet using the strength from God and therefore they were indeed works of the adversary, yet consisting of divine strength of love; thus they belonged to the original strength which was merely misused. Once created, however, they were imperishable, for everything that has its origin in God cannot pass away in eternity. God’s merciful love now turned to these creatures …. The will of the adversary gave rise to creatures that were far removed (distant) from God through their will …. Divine love, however, did not want to leave these creatures at a great distance from It and therefore brought Itself close to them in order to turn their will towards Itself. These beings were free to decide to whom they wanted to belong, yet the will placed in them remained with the creator, and thus the distance from God was not reduced but increased, for now it was the beings themselves who were responsible for this distance. And yet God’s merciful love did not let them fall but created ways and means to win them over, albeit after an infinitely long time. Eternities have already passed, and many more eternities will pass before every created being has arrived back at the original center where it once started. Divine love has been courting the love of those beings for eternities and the light has been wrestling with the darkness for eternities …. Yet God’s love has not yet diminished, it is undiminishedly active for the fallen spirits and constantly provides them with opportunities to reduce the distance between themselves and God. New creations constantly arise for the purpose of the return of the power to the original power, which has certainly distanced itself from it but can never again separate itself from it. And again, these eternities are like fleeting moments for a perfect spiritual being, and the endlessly long ascent from the abyss to the height seems like a moment to it when it has completely united with God again and can work in all fullness of light and strength according to divine will …. For eternity still lies ahead of it, and the being of light embraces past, present and future with its spirit …. it knows about the course of its development and yet only has the awareness of a moment, because everything imperfect completely sinks into the stage of bliss which emerges from perfection. The more imperfect the being is, the more agonizing the sense of time is for it, and the period of time appears to it as an eternity in which it is in a banished state. Once it has regained its freedom, however, there is no longer an agonizing state for the being, just as the concept of time and space disappears. The being is certainly aware of the time of its development, yet even if this has taken eternities it appears to be short to it because in the state of perfection it no longer knows any narrow limitation and thus also regards the unfree state as a very short phase in eternity which it has finally overcome and which is therefore extinguished for the being as soon as the kingdom of light has absorbed it ….

amen

There cannot be more obvious proof of the existence of an eternal deity than creation, for the human being can see a miracle taking place in it every day. He can observe the working of a power in it, and he can now imagine this power however he wants, he has to associate it with something substantial Which expresses Itself visibly through it. For works that testify to profound wisdom, whose existence is not purposeless or meaningless, must have been considered beforehand and now become form in a certain lawfulness through a will that rules over the power. And this will testifies to a being Which must be recognized as the eternal creator of the entire universe. No work of creation has come into being without a plan, for even if the purpose is still hidden from the human being it nevertheless underlies every work which has emerged from the will of that creating power. Therefore, the more attentively a person observes creation, the more convinced he will be to see in it the work of a master Who is extremely loving, wise and powerful. And thus creation alone can lead to a rock-solid faith as soon as the human being is searching and, with a serious will, abandons himself to the thoughts which arise when he observes even the smallest work of creation. For God Himself speaks to him through creation, and every human being can understand His language if he is willing to listen to it. For man could not bring into being by his own strength what is visible to him in creation. God’s power first has to become effective and this power has to be attributed to an entity because every work of creation reveals a planned nature, thus the power has been directed by a will. But as soon as a will is recognized, there must also be a bearer of this will, no matter in which form man imagines it. For the eternal deity is not conceivable for the human being, and yet It must be acknowledged as a being Which thinks and shapes, Which lets Its thoughts become form through Its will, which testifies to profound wisdom. Wisdom and omnipotence are therefore proven, and love is the original reason for everything that is …. love for that which every work of creation holds within itself …. to the beingness that once emerged from His power and is therefore a part of Himself …. As a seeker, the human being knows nothing about the spiritual life in the whole of creation, he can only initially recognize the elemental force, the creator of what his eye sees. However, the inner life will not remain hidden from him if he strives for this knowledge. For once he has recognized a creator full of wisdom and power, he will also ask about the meaning and purpose of creation. And he will receive an answer …. And then he will recognize God’s love, which is constantly active in order to bring new creations into being, in order to assign them to the beingness as an abode, which is to mature in them. And now the human being gains a clear image, he submits himself in deepest humility to his creator, Whom he will now never ever deny, Whom he will recognize as an entity of supreme perfection …. full of love, wisdom and omnipotence …. and Whom he now strives towards with every thought because he has to love this being and desires to come close to It. Thus the human being can, even without the divine word being preached to him by fellow human beings, take notice of His existence himself, for God places the simplest means before his eyes every day, he need only pay attention to creation and let it speak to him with an earnest will, then God Himself will already speak to him and he will receive His word directly by being mentally enlightened so that he can attain a living faith. And this faith will be firmly established in him, for creation bears witness to God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence for everyone who, as a seeker, asks and listens for the answer which is conveyed to him by the creator Himself ….

amen

An essential difference exists between those who are united with Me in living faith and the formal believers, who certainly also belong to My church according to the word but not in their spirit, for they do not know what the connection between their spirit and My spirit is all about. They live in the belief that they are fulfilling their duty when they hear My word, yet they have not yet tried to live out My word in such a way that it results in a spiritual bond with Me. Their will is not strong enough to be active themselves and hearing My word alone does not bring about this connection with Me. The sign that they have allowed My word to have an effect on their heart must be an act of love, and with this act of love they also draw Me Myself to themselves, and only then is their faith alive …. But people can profess the church and yet their faith is dead if it is not followed by works. And these also only hear My word, which is directly conveyed to earth, with their ears and do not allow themselves to take it to heart. They only want to receive My word where it is offered to them from time immemorial. They do not fully accept it if it is conveyed to them in any other way because they have not yet penetrated the essence of the word, because they do not know that it is only the result of a living faith, of an intimate bond with Me. And they cannot receive this knowledge through external mediation of the word but through life according to the word, which can indeed be offered to them everywhere but which first has to gain life through the will of the person himself. The formal believers lack this knowledge and they will not accept it from the hand of someone who is effectively outside their church either; but they will also never muster the extraordinary strength to stand firm in the forthcoming battle of faith, they will lack the strength which the living word provides them with …. the strength to persevere which only arises from the living bond with Me. And the formal believer will never stand in convinced faith but only call the traditional faith his own, the faith which he has adopted through teachings and which he does not want to give up due to tradition, but without being able to stand up for it deep in his heart, because this is the privilege of those who hear My word within themselves, audibly or mentally through their will to be active accordingly. “Be not only hearers but also doers of My word ….” I must repeatedly call out this to everyone, for it depends on it whether your faith is alive or merely a dead form which will not suffice in the days of battle against Me. And therefore let My word have an effect on you, ponder it in your heart and act accordingly so that it will be a blessing for you, so that your spirit will awaken and impel you to ever more eager activity, from which you will then gain the strength to hear Me Myself in you and to persevere until the end ….

amen

You humans already have an incomprehensibly long period of development behind you, and now you are shortly before the end of a period which was given to you for perfection. Life on earth as a human being is the conclusion of a period of development, but now everything is drawing to a close, for the earth in its present form will not continue to exist. It experiences a total transformation because the human race, which at present inhabits the earth, no longer fulfills its task of development and therefore the earth in its present form has become purposeless and therefore experiences a reshaping so that again new possibilities of stay are created for the spiritual, which leaves the earth unfinished and therefore is banished again into the creations of the new earth. The infinitely long time of development before the embodiment as man will then have been in vain for him if he fails in the last stage. God’s infinite love has still given the beingness the opportunity to develop in the beyond so that it can still mature there, albeit under far more difficult conditions than on earth. But now a redemption period is approaching its end and this also means a conclusion of the opportunities granted to the spiritual substance to mature in the beyond. For the people of the last days will no longer have the degree of maturity at their death in order to be accepted into the spheres of the beyond unless God’s mercy calls them away beforehand, in a time of greatest hardship and tribulation which will result in their recognition of an eternal deity before their death. The last ones, however, are completely turned away from God, they are hardened and inaccessible to instruction and therefore no longer capable of improvement. And they are deprived of any possibility of higher development by having their bodily life taken from them and the essence in them being bound anew in solid form. What this means can only be appreciated by those who know about the endlessly long path through creation that the beingness has to cover. And even he cannot begin to imagine it until he has entered the kingdom of light and knows about his own course of development. Yet God granted the spiritual substance an abundant period of redemption which it did not use to draw closer to Him but to increase its distance. And for such beings there is no more ascent on this earth but only a constant regression, the end of which has to be banishment into the solid form …. People are now so ignorant and unteachable that they don’t recognize the end time, that they don’t give any thought to where the spiritual low shall lead, because they reject everything spiritual and only pay attention to their earthly life. And an end has to be put to this state, humanity has to be forcibly pointed to this end for the time being. And if this is also unsuccessful it will approach its downfall, that is, earthly the earth and with it its inhabitants will experience a total process of change in that the earth will completely reshape itself in its external form and people will likewise face a total external change of form …. that their carnal cover will fall off the beingness and a solid matter will enclose it again which will take away all freedom of will and it will be bound again for an infinitely long time. Although this is presented to people, they do not change their way of life because they do not believe and are immersed in complete spiritual darkness and completely wrong thinking due to their loveless life. A person can only come to knowledge through love, and if he lacks it he is blind in spirit and inaccessible to any imagination. Yet God constantly admonishes and warns people, and if they were to pay attention to the time and its events, to the voices that preach to them about love, they would also become suspicious and reflect on these signs. Yet satan has them in his grip and they themselves do not have the will to free themselves from him. And that is why the end will inevitably come, for the redemption period will be over in a short time ….

amen

The incomprehensible is about to happen …. God Himself will speak to people in a way which will generate fear and horror. This time will soon be here, for humanity can no longer expect consideration seeing that it is completely devoid of love. It will start the ball rolling itself, it will give rise to the intervention itself, for it constantly violates God’s commandments, the commandment of love for God and one’s neighbour. And it scrupulously carries out satanic actions which are bound to lead to ruin if God does not intervene and thereby still save souls who find their way to Him in adversity. And this is the sign of the time which God proclaimed long in advance, that the end of the preceding bitterly fierce battle will be determined by God because He wants to reveal Himself and His power. He Himself will terminate the conflict, yet differently than people expect …. Through His intervention, which consequently is of decisive importance for the whole world, He will steer worldly events in a different direction. People will have to realise that they are powerless and that a higher Power conducts global affairs. And they will have to bow to this Power …. The adversity, which human will had already made almost unbearable for many people, will be severe; yet then they will have to struggle with tribulations sent to them by God Himself and cannot revolt against them because they cannot hold anyone responsible for it.

Yet people’s conduct prior to this cannot be called human anymore, and thus God will reveal His might to them …. Where people previously wanted to demonstrate their power and brutally proceeded against their fellow human beings, that is where God will show Himself in His actions, and compared to Him all are weak and defenceless and their shameful rage will fall back onto those who mercilessly only want to cause destruction simply because they feel powerful. No-one can possibly imagine the ensuing chaos once people’s unbridled feelings of hatred and vengeance break through, and this destructive will signifies the disintegration of that which God the Lord created before it has reached its goal. People of the present time are typified by their constant will of destruction which is a sign that they are enslaved by the power which tries to obliterate everything in order to prevent the souls from drawing closer to God. People are not aware that the violent destruction of created things, be they human, animal or solid matter, has terrible consequences, how the immature spiritual substances within rage and wreak havoc and what turmoil this signifies in the spiritual kingdom. They pester and detrimentally affect people’s souls and even the believers feel their influence and become disheartened and discouraged. A mighty will must therefore put an end to it for the sake of the spiritual beings which endeavour to approach God and are supposed to be diverted by God’s adversary through his compliant servants on earth.

And this is why God’s voice will resound immediately after the implementation of a plan which will exceed every atrocity ever devised by people. There is only a little time left, first a horrifying event has to take place for the whole world to pay attention to in order to hear God’s voice even more clearly. Many victims will yet have to fall prey, i.e., they will have to sacrifice their lives for a dishonest cause so that those people in need of coming to their senses will pay heed, for they all contribute towards the chaos and thus are also partly to blame if they don’t realise the injustice and stop supporting it. The divine voice always and forever admonishes and warns, it points out wrong-doing to everyone yet it also demands to be heeded or else it will resound with a voice of thunder to everyone’s horror and pass judgment according to law and justice.

For the blame rests with everyone and only those can be acquitted who detest humanity’s behaviour and want to belong to God, for they recognise the injustice and fear and know that the wrath of God will strike the evil-doers …. And the hour will come suddenly and unexpectedly, for it is the last great blessing before the end, so that anyone will still be converted who doesn’t live carelessly and recognises God in the natural disaster, which is inevitable in accordance with God’s will ….

Amen

The soul has to be purified on earth or in the beyond before it can enter the kingdom of light after its earthly demise. The soul must lose all impurity, it must be clear and pure, as it once emerged from God’s strength, so that it is once again receptive for the light radiation from God, which a stained soul cannot receive. And this purification takes place on earth through love or suffering …. Love is a voluntary and suffering an involuntary means of purifying the souls, and the degree of both determines the soul’s degree of light at the time of its physical death. Love and suffering together increase the degree of light, for if a loving soul has to bear suffering and affliction, it will become free of all dross, it will become what it should be in order to be able to join the eternal Godhead. A loving soul shapes itself according to God’s will, for love does not allow anything impure to arise in it, it gives birth to good and noble thoughts, words and works, and where there is still a hint of impurity, of unfairness and lack of clarity, suffering helps and changes the soul so that the divine light can shine through it unhindered …. And that is why suffering is also imposed on people who live in a God-focused will and therefore seemingly no longer need suffering in order to attain knowledge. However, no soul is so bright and clear and has such a high degree of maturity that it no longer needs suffering, as this is then no longer intended to convert it but only to purify it. Suffering should first lead the human being to God but then crystallize his soul so that it is clear and transparent and receptive to every ray of light that touches it from the spiritual kingdom. As long as the human being dwells on earth, temptations will also approach him, and every temptation means a blurred spot on the soul if it does not offer stubborn resistance. Such a temptation often has to be rendered harmless through suffering, i.e. the human being has to remain completely unaffected by what suffering usually brings about, be it that the human being finds it easier to renounce or that he overcomes himself in order not to be exposed to greater suffering …. He has to fight against himself, he often gets tired of the world and its attractions, and his soul slowly reaches the state that it desires nothing more on earth than just the closeness of God …. that it only carries out works of love and is also grateful for the suffering because it noticeably earns it the closeness of God, for in suffering it takes refuge in Him and receives His strength which now completely permeates the soul, expels all impurities from it and places it into the degree of maturity which results in entering the kingdom of light. This is a process of purification which is painful but which will certainly lead to the goal if the human being is of God’s will. For then the suffering will only allow him to make contact with Him all the more intimately, and every contact with God signifies an influx of strength, it signifies a radiance of love, and the fire of divine love is a further means of purification which is likewise used through the person’s own activity of love …. For love dissolves everything, it purifies and radiates through everything, and in connection with suffering it must spiritualize the soul and make it a bearer of light, because it is now free of all dross and it achieves a high degree of maturity which secures its entry into the kingdom of light in the beyond ….

amen

God only determines the effect of human will but never the human will itself. And therefore a person’s path on earth is certainly predetermined according to divine plan, but whether he travels it in accordance with divine will depends on his free will. The greatest gift of grace can be offered to him, it only becomes effective in him when the will accepts it, when the human being opens himself to the strength which flows from this gift of grace. But if he uses this power then it is his free will, and it can then never be spoken of a change of nature against his free will, of a change of nature which was achieved suddenly and only through God’s grace …. For such a change would completely contradict God’s plan of redemption, because then the supply of divine grace would have brought about this redemption and the human being himself would not need to be active in it. However, divine love wants to produce perfect beings and this perfection requires free will, thus the measure of grace he receives must always be adapted to this free will, i.e. it must not force him to accept it, which would inevitably be the case if the gift of grace overwhelmed him and suddenly resulted in his change …. God’s grace can indeed bring about a change in a person, but the person must first have been inwardly prepared to allow the grace to work on him, i.e. not to resist it. God’s love provides every human being with a measure of grace which guarantees his complete transformation, his alignment with God, for the latter is the goal of all beings in their final embodiment. And God will never withhold anything from a being which could bring it closer to this goal. Rather, He offers the human being an excess of grace which, however, can also be rejected by the human being’s will and will then no longer be effective. If, however, he is receptive to it then he will be able to mature in a time which seems extraordinarily short, he will, as it were, suddenly change, a flash of insight will come over him because he willingly opens himself, thus God’s grace can obviously be effective in him. For grace is strength from God, it is helping assistance, it is, as it were, the transmission of God’s will, which includes all strength in itself as soon as the human being’s will offers no resistance. This person is therefore chosen because he felt his calling within himself and followed it …. But it is never an inevitable transformation of his will, even though God’s grace contributes a great deal towards the human being giving up his resistance, for every human being needs divine help, even if his will is turned towards God. But a person who is turned away from God can stand in the midst of grace, he rejects it and consequently does not feel its effect either. And then he is completely incapable of changing according to God’s will …. His will is still so resistant that he does not subordinate himself to the divine will and therefore cannot receive God’s grace either, even though it is available to him without measure. He makes himself unreceptive to it, so to speak, but this does not exclude that God offers it to him in all fullness ….

(10.6.1944) His love for His living creations will never diminish and He will not let any of them go astray, thus He will not consider any of His living creations less but give them all the same opportunity to ascend, which therefore also means the same measure of grace which they may use for their higher development. But if the creature itself withdraws itself from the effectiveness of grace through its will, it has nevertheless not been given a lesser possibility; just as conversely no exceptionally high measure of grace is given to a man if the will, the opening of this grace, would not be recognizable. And this will can be seen by God, Who knows every slightest stirring of the heart, even if this is not yet apparent to fellow human beings. God’s gift of grace therefore does not oblige a person to work for Him nor to shape himself, it only gives him an increased ability to change, but always on the condition that this is within the human being’s will to change himself in the right knowledge of truth …. A person who is completely turned away from God will never have this will, and he therefore carelessly passes by the gift of grace which, however, is at his disposal like every other person …. Man’s will therefore determines (as it were) the measure of grace, not that which comes to him, but that which becomes effective in him …. Through his willingness he can now increase the influx of grace the more he uses it, and he will also do this because he thereby also comes to recognize, to deeply believe in God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence and is now inwardly driven to strive towards Him, to conform to Him and to be active for Him. God’s grace may have brought this about, but without his will it could never have worked ….

amen

Love for all unredeemed people should predominate in you as soon as you want to be active on earth for the kingdom of God. You must know that the souls have to bear a difficult fate if they pass into the kingdom of the beyond in an immature state, and it is the task of those who want to serve God to help these souls while they are still on earth. Furthermore, you must know that God’s concern is constantly for these souls because He loves all His living creations and that you, too, belong to those living creations which He cares for in His love …. In the same way you should also give and distribute love to all the poor in spirit, because you thereby also testify to your love for Him when you take care of those on earth whom God is trying to win for His kingdom. The love of your heart must determine you to do so, not that you take care of your fellow human beings’ hardship for your own benefit. For only that which is born in the heart is valued, and you will only be able to work successfully if you awaken reciprocal love in people through your love and this reciprocal love can only bring redemption, for it is a step towards perfection. Where there is no love the human being will not be successful in his spiritual work, for loving activity confirms the truth of what you are supposed to convey to the unredeemed souls. What you offer them in love will not fail to make an impression, for love not only speaks to the intellect but also to the heart, and the heart decides whether and what it wants to accept …. Without love you cannot accomplish any work of redemption, neither on earth nor in the hereafter. All your actions and work should be carried by love, and if you want to remedy the spiritual adversity you must try to imagine the painful state of an unredeemed soul after its earthly demise, and you must be urged to want to spare a soul this suffering. You must therefore help it with love to break through the spiritual darkness and offer it the word of God, driven by the feeling to also give something to your fellow human being which makes you happy. You also have to woo their love through a noble, helpful nature and thus be eagerly active as servants of God on earth who want to prepare the way for their lord so that He will be well received when He Himself comes. Only love makes you suitable for this service on earth, without love you can only work with little success, for then your words will fall on barren ground if it is not first made receptive through love for the seed which is to produce delicious fruit. And that is why the word of God can only be successfully spread by those who are in love themselves, for even if the success is not immediately recognizable, the word offered in love will not lose its strength as soon as it is seriously considered even a long time afterwards, for the word imparted in love will also be received intellectually and can still exert its effect of making the heart receptive to it as soon as the person’s will is good. In the last days it will be increasingly more difficult to bring salvation to the unredeemed souls because they themselves will put up stiff resistance to every attempt at redemption by offering the truth. And yet you should not let up, bearing in mind the great need of these souls in the beyond. For even if they deny a continuation of life after death, they, too, will one day stand at the gate of death and realize that their existence is not over, they will only find themselves miserable beyond measure in a desolate environment and in a hopeless situation. And then these souls can only be helped through prayer, so that they themselves will change their will and receive strength to work with love, for once again only love is redeeming, love for the even more severe sufferer whom the soul now wants to help ….

amen

The human soul remains undeveloped in the world’s activity as long as it cannot detach itself in hours of quiet contemplation or establish contact with God through eager activity of love, for which it is also given ample opportunity in the midst of the world. And yet the human being is placed in it so that he can overcome the world and find the path to God in it, because this requires increased willpower. If the human being closes himself off from the world, his merit is less, for he avoids all temptations and oppositions, he does not need to fight the battle to which the human being is exposed who does not flee from the world. The greater the oppositions, the more strength they require, but the greater the success the soul can achieve if it overcomes all oppositions. And that is why great demands are made on the human being which he should not evade. He has to fulfill his task earthly, he has to be exposed to earthly temptations, but nothing should prevent him from seeking the intimate connection with God, because from this he also draws his strength to fulfill the earthly demands. Nevertheless, he will also be able to be spiritually active if this is what his will strives for. However, if the human being neither lives in love nor finds time for inner contemplation which introduces him to the spiritual kingdom, he will remain at the same spiritual degree of maturity or even develop regressively if matter captivates him and he is devoid of all love. In that case he will live his life on earth in vain, but even seclusion would not change such a person spiritually but only make him grumpy and dissatisfied because spiritual striving is alien to him and he cannot fulfill his earthly desires. A person can make God his own in every situation in life if his heart urges him to do so, and therefore he can also serve God always and everywhere, the hustle and bustle of the world will often give him enough opportunity to serve his neighbor, while in solitude a person lives only for himself and is hindered in his work of love. The latter, however, brings man to maturity, for it brings him closer to God, and therefore every opportunity should be used to practice serving charity. In the hustle and bustle of the world there are often greater opportunities for man’s development, for hardship and suffering require help, which every human being can provide for his fellow human being, and spiritual hardship is also particularly great in the midst of the world, and this is also a field of work where man can be particularly successful. And this is why God calls His servants in the midst of the world, and He presents the adversity of fellow human beings to them so that they will now work diligently, so that they will practice love and give love in the midst of the world and, in hours of inner contemplation, gain the strength to overcome all temptations and oppositions of the world, and thus can also mature in the midst of the world to the height ….

amen

Wisdom and love are divine and will therefore never be found where God’s adversary is at work. Nevertheless, he, too, will want to conceal himself behind a cloak of wisdom and love, and spiritually blind people will not recognise that a mere fabrication aims to conceal the true face of the one whose activity in the world intends to ruin people. Yet the spiritually illuminated person will recognise his game of deceit, and thus it is his task to unmask God’s adversary, to expose that which is adverse to God and to enlighten people about his underhanded activity. Love will be pretended where the true nature is unkindness, and wisdom will be feigned by those without knowledge …. And thus the activity of the dark power is to dispel all brightness in order to cast people into profound darkness. Loving activity should be selfless, it should be a sacrifice, but it should be performed of one’s own accord without any external compulsion, for only then can it be judged to be an activity of love, otherwise they would be imposed duties which are certainly acknowledged on earth but before God only the activity of the human being’s free will is of value. For only love redeems …. And this love will also bring forth wisdom which, however, can never be found where love is compensated for by duty. For this reason the implementation of an action must inevitably reveal heartfelt love if a human being’s knowledge is to be recognised as knowledge which corresponds to the truth, as divine wisdom. Where one does not exist the other cannot be either. And therefore the knowledge imparted to people has to be seriously scrutinised, for someone opposed to God, someone who wants to lead people into misguided thinking and impels them into heartlessness will use such means which shine a deceptive light by simulating the divine and thereby causing serious psychological damage to people. And they don’t recognise him, they thoughtlessly accept what they are being offered and he uses his followers to influence other people in the same way as he influences them …. so that they, under the disguise of love and wisdom, behave and teach the opposite …. so that they force themselves to act with love and spread error amongst people …. It will remain a constant battle between light and darkness, and anyone who is enlightened shall fight against the darkness; anyone enlightened shall let his light shine and make corrections where people have been taught wrongly. And neither should someone enlightened shy away from taking an open stand against the activity under the mask of light and piety, he should call for a genuine activity of love and explain to people the pointlessness of a forcibly implemented activity of love, he should convey the wisdom he received from God, which enlightened his spirit as a result of unselfish actions of love. For love and wisdom will always have to lead to God, but if people are not in contact with God they possess neither love nor wisdom, and if it appears like that before the world then it will only be the mask of the one who opposes God and tries to spread unkindness and untruth amongst humanity. And you should openly declare war on him, for you can be assured of God’s support, Whose instructions you live up to by teaching divine love, which alone results in wisdom ….

Amen

The more the outside world approaches a person and prevents him from listening in complete seclusion to the voice of the spirit, which now whispers the thoughts quietly to him, the more difficult it is to receive the thoughts. This is an act of the greatest strength of will, which must be practiced again and again, which again and again requires strength, which the human being must ask for. Since it is divine will that the human being should connect with his spirit and allow himself to be taught by it, He will never leave a prayer unanswered, it just has to come from the bottom of his heart. It may not just be a formal or lip prayer, but the desire for divine gift of grace through the spirit must be so strong that the prayer is fervently sent up, after which the person will always receive the strength. And then the human being is able to receive every thought flowing to him without hesitation and doubt, and only then can he be taught and receive profound wisdom. divine gift requires undivided attention, divine gift is not given out without deep desire, and divine gift is only imparted to those who are willing to pass it on. And a strong will is required for everything, which must be active again and again. For a person is never forced to do so against his will, but neither is he showered with a gift of grace which he does not seriously desire. He must remain in constant struggle, he must constantly immerse himself in prayer and be mindful of the fact that God’s love offers him something extremely precious and that this precious gift cannot fall to him effortlessly without his will becoming active. Thoughts from the spiritual kingdom constantly buzz around him, good and bad, and only want to be received by him. And now the human being has to open himself and consciously ask for the good thoughts. Through his will he must put himself into the state of being able to hear every thought that comes to him. He must, so to speak, open his spiritual ear and now listen to the subtle voice which now announces itself. But if the human being does not muster this will, it remains silent within him. He has no intimate contact with the beings of the kingdom of light who want to impart divine wisdom to him in a mental form; and this contact must inevitably be established first, which first requires a strong will ….

amen

The spiritual world always provides light to people who are receptive to it. It always depends on the person’s will as to whether and to what extent he is receptive to it and how deeply he therefore stands in the truth. But the divine truth is the gospel, which is proclaimed wherever the conditions for it are met. The first prerequisite is an earnest desire for the truth, otherwise the gospel will not be recognized as such and will therefore not spread. Thus people themselves set the limits to the proclamation of the gospel wherever they make themselves incapable of recognizing it through their will, even though it is offered everywhere by people who fulfil all the conditions under which the word of God can be conveyed to earth. The word of God is of incomparable power, it makes a person knowledgeable, that is, it gives him knowledge of God’s reign and activity, of His love, wisdom and omnipotence and of His eternal plan of salvation. This knowledge is so exceedingly valuable and delightful, for only the one who has received this knowledge becomes alive in spirit, he lives consciously and in the blissful certainty of being able to share in the great glory of the one Who is his creator, Who is his father from the beginning. And every person can acquire this blissful certainty as soon as he opens his ear to the word of God, which is conveyed to him through appointed servants of God or is mentally imparted to him himself if he opens his heart in desire for it so that the divine spirit can instruct him directly. And so the gospel is proclaimed in all the world …. Where it is not accepted, people remain blind in spirit, they remain in ignorance, which is their share due to their former apostasy from God. And they will also never recognize that the gospel is always and constantly proclaimed in the world. The latter is not dependent on external characteristics or on certain circumstances, on schematic mediations under certain conditions, but solely on the will of the person as to whether he accepts it or not. And that is why a certain period of time can never be set for when the word of God is obviously spread on earth. Only this is certain, that always and in all places the spirit world full of light on behalf of God conveys His word to earth wherever it wants to be received, that therefore the gospel is proclaimed in all the world ….

amen

Few people understand the value of divine revelations and thus rarely accept the messages unconditionally …. Consequently, numerous opportunities are not utilised which results in limited knowledge and often deadlock where progress could have been made. People’s spiritual ignorance could be resolved, their state of darkness could be turned into enlightenment, and yet they prefer the night and shun the light, they are still in opposition to the world of light which caringly gives to everyone who places their trust in it. This is due to a lack of faith in God’s mercy and His willingness to help people when they are in need. Nevertheless it is a proven need and consists of the fact that countless misconceptions prevent people from understanding God correctly, from loving Him and from revealing this love by gladly helping other people. This need consists of a dead faith which will fail when it is tested, because when the human being has to make a serious decision he can only stay committed if he is firmly convinced that his knowledge and faith are more valuable than what opposes him. For this reason faith and knowledge have to concur, i.e. whatever a person should believe has to be credible and reveal wisdom when he seriously reflects on it. God does not demand to believe something that he could not accept after serious consideration. Whatever appears to be unacceptable, whatever – after serious examination – lacks wisdom, has to be a human addition to what God has demanded to believe.

However, the credibility of dogma is apparent by the love it emanates, by God’s love for everything He has created; consequently, love and wisdom indicate a divine being which cares for His living creations. And thus every religious doctrine can initially be assessed from this perspective. It has to be said that anyone willing to teach is first of all duty bound to make such an assessment, since he should only teach what he himself has identified as truth. This prerequisite is usually disregarded and for that reason alone significantly supports the spread of errors. Every teacher has to be fully convinced of what he teaches. And conviction can only be gained after serious assessment. Then the teacher can safely pass on what he has recognised as true to people who are less able to make such an assessment but who, if taught correctly, nevertheless can know that the teaching is credible because it confirms God’s love and wisdom to them. Those who genuinely want to evaluate dogma will not lack the ability to think if they want to know the truth, on condition that the examiner also lives within love, otherwise he cannot represent the truth but has to represent errors and lies since, due to his unkindness, he has given himself to the one who fights against God.

In view of this it is understandable that and why an initially pure and unadulterated teaching given to people has been considerably changed, why it was not possible for written records to remain authentic, because serious assessment of their credibility and truth was evaded by the demand to categorically believe everything that was being taught. Pure truth will stand up to any kind of investigation and thus remain unchanged. But divisions occurred in due course, different schools of thought and their individual doctrines constantly offered the opportunity of comparison, and had they been compared with divine wisdom and love, every serious examiner could have known which doctrines were human work and should have been denounced as misguided beliefs. Consequently, the people who were capable of verifying the truth but failed to do so and unscrupulously passed on doctrines which on closer examination they should have rejected, are mostly to blame and will also be held accountable. As a result they had spread errors and lies.

However, there have always been people who, of their own accord, had undertaken such assessments and as reformers tried to change the old doctrines. And again, it depended on their degree of maturity how much they were living in truth and could convey it as such …. Hence, time and again human beings had been given the opportunity to form an opinion about religious doctrines, since due to the disputes between different schools of thought, due to the divisions within the church, they were made aware of the different teachings but nevertheless it was demanded that they had to be believed. Now the intellect and the heart had to become active if an evaluation were to be carried out, and that required the person’s will and his desire to know the truth. Every follower of a doctrine supports his doctrine and yet different doctrines cannot claim to be the truth as there is only one truth. And every human being should endeavour to acquire this truth …. Thus it is indeed absolutely essential for a human being to form a personal opinion about every religious instruction otherwise it cannot ever become his spiritual possession even if he supports it with words. But then such words are not an innermost conviction, since conviction absolutely necessitates mental deliberation and this thought process can only be correctly guided by appealing to the divine spirit.

However, if teachers offer the pure truth a person will find it much easier to gain inner conviction if he reflects on it himself, while it takes a stronger will and desire for truth to identify misguided teachings as wrong. And this is why the teacher is wholly responsible if he, due to his own indifference or negligence, fails to carry out an assessment and spreads spiritual information of which he is not completely convinced himself. For if he has offered himself for teaching work he may only teach what he himself – after serious assessment – considers to be acceptable, otherwise he sins against those who believe to receive wisdom from him and whom he urges into wrong thinking with misguided teachings. Furthermore, it is his duty to encourage people to evaluate the teachings too so that they, in turn, may gain conviction, or a living faith, and become able to differentiate between error and truth ….

Amen

Intellectual knowledge acquired by the human being without prayer to God for spiritual enlightenment is incomplete and therefore cannot be described as consistent. Hence there can still be unsolved issues and these in particular give cause to doubt because different supporters also explain them differently. It is now self-evident that the different results also have to be assessed by anyone who only wants to accept the truth. Human knowledge is never above reproach, and that controversial issues always relate to human knowledge, human interpretations, is obvious from the fact that it is disputed, because pure truth originating from God is always the same and will never show different results.

A person without good will and a desire for truth will receive God’s transmitted truth incorrectly as his thoughts are subject to evil influences which confuse him and render the truth incomprehensible; on the other hand, a person who genuinely strives for truth also questions misguided knowledge. It does not give him complete assurance of truth and thus he evaluates it, provided he is not prohibited to do so and unconditional acceptance is demanded of him which is, however, at all times and without question Satan’s doing. For it will never be an injustice before God to sincerely seek the truth, and that the human being should form an opinion of what is presented to him as truth is part of it. Nor should the human being be guided by other people’s idea of truth but form his own judgment, particularly when he is expected or offers himself to distribute knowledge and teach other people.

God does not deny His help to the human being who humbly asks for His mercy, but whether the highly respected dignitary of the world or the scientist holding a worldly elevated position, be it in a spiritual or secular office, bends himself in deepest humility before God as the sole Provider of truth and thus complies with the first condition for its receipt has to be doubted, if his teachings do not offer flawless explanations or are in contradiction to each other. Error exists for as long as there are divisions and different interpretations because there is only one truth, and to ascertain this truth the human being will have to make contact with the eternal Deity Himself, he will have to ask Him for spiritual enlightenment and by a God-pleasing way of life become worthy of being taught by Him directly …. However, God knows how and in which way He shall teach the human being who strives and prays for truth but the end result will always be pure truth since it is God’s will that His living creations shall live in truth, hence He also enlightens them in accordance with their will ….

Amen

The exchange of spiritual thoughts will always benefit the striving for truth, for only those who genuinely desire the latter will entertain such an exchange of ideas and thus will also be supported and advised by the spiritual forces which are mediators of mental knowledge that corresponds to truth. And these forces will always and forever support the human being, they increase his knowledge and motivate his will to make use of this knowledge, which always signifies spiritual progress. The beings of light also bring spiritual aspirants together to provide them with the opportunity to exchange ideas. And questions as well as answers will be posed and offered at the behest of these beings of light, which participate in people’s trains of thought and raise the subject which people consider important to know. Beings of light particularly gladly look after those people who listen to their whisperings, that is, those who themselves enjoy such conversations which are of spiritual origin, for then they will be able to give them unlimited information, they will be able to instruct in the form of a dialogue, the contents of which is always adapted to the human being’s state of maturity. And the involved parties will always derive benefit for their souls from this, for every gift offered to people by the beings of light is an illumination of strength from God which has to have a constructive and knowledge-increasing effect. The beings of light will always be people’s advisors as long as they merely desire the pure truth and their correct attitude towards God motivates their spiritual conversations. A higher degree of maturity has to be the inevitable result, for once the mental knowledge has been accepted it will also stimulate the person to use it for himself or for his fellow human being, and both mean spiritual progress. Spiritual conversations should therefore frequently take place, they are, after all, not the mental results of the individual person but transfers of strength from the spiritual kingdom, which will always result in an increase of spiritual substance, for anything that comes from the spiritual kingdom directly enters the human soul and increases its spiritual substance. Thus it is an influx of strength which must lead to the human being’s higher development. The exchange of ideas is also a form of instruction from the spiritual kingdom, but it is not always appreciated as such, since the human being does not always recognise the origin of the thoughts which are spoken, even though he ought to realise that people are always surrounded by beings of light as soon as a spiritual question is being discussed, provided that people have the serious intention to reach God and make every effort to recognise Him. To those He sends His messengers, they bring light on His instructions to all those who pose questions to God or to each other. For every exchange of thoughts is a matter of question-and-answer which, depending on the desire for truth, will also be truthful yet only be recognised as truth if prior to such exchange of thoughts the human beings appeals in heartfelt prayer for God to enlighten his spirit ….

Amen
