Listen to the message of God’s spirit …. A time of grace has commenced, and if you are willing to strive for the kingdom of God you can feel its blessing. The beings of light are obviously and perpetually at work to impart gifts of grace from the spiritual kingdom to the human beings on earth; beings of light are embodied on earth to serve people as spiritual guides during the last days; the thoughts of people who strive towards God will be enlightened and thereby closer to the truth; God’s love will express itself in times of earthly hardship by bringing help wherever it is requested …. Devout people will accomplish extraordinary things and the power of faith will become evident …. And thus many blessings will manifest themselves, because the opposition will also use every means to cause spiritual distress to people and God wants to visibly help them.

And during this time of grace a man will appear whose spirit is from above, whose soul is totally united with the spirit within himself and who therefore speaks what the spirit reveals to him …. absolute truth in all clarity …. God Himself will speak through him, he will remind people to persevere or caution them not to abandon Him. And this speaker is the forerunner of the Lord. When he appears the coming of the Lord is close at hand. This man will considerably increase the extent of grace as he will be immensely supportive to the believers and offer unbelievers an opportunity to believe …. for he is alive with strength and might and will have considerable influence on people who listen to him. His words will ignite and spread like wildfire through the country where he will work. He will speak without fear and hesitation, he will inform people and draw their attention to the coming of the Lord in the clouds and to the Last Judgment. Yet not many people will believe him because most people no longer want to know God and the spirit, and thus their thinking is completely adverse. In short, they neither understand nor make use of the extraordinary gift of grace, consequently the end is inevitable, for the abyss will open and devour everything that does not recognise God and rejects His Word.

God is forever giving, and whatever He gives is an undeserved gift of grace designed to help people to mature even during these times of suffering …. Whether He gives sorrow or joy, it always helps the person to lift his soul to God, it is always pointing to Him, it is always a coaxing and guiding him onto the right path …. it is always grace …. And when this man arrives the amount of grace for people will also increase, because he is surrounded by and emanates light which flows to him from the spiritual kingdom …. He passes on knowledge, his word is utter wisdom and strength and can be easily accepted, because it is offered convincingly and can be understood by people if they listen to him carefully. God’s love makes it easy for people to believe by sending them His messengers with unusual strength by which alone they can be known as messengers from heaven. But he will be attacked from all sides …. and only few understand his mission and stay with him, only few draw strength from his words; but they will receive strength and grace in abundance and be able to resist the world’s confrontations, the hostilities which now take place openly ….

The last days will be extraordinary difficult but also extraordinary merciful, for God will reveal Himself wherever a heart in distress opens itself to receive His grace. And thus it will certainly be possible to be victorious in the final battle on this earth …. that the soul can emerge from it unharmed, that it gains eternal life if it prematurely passes away from earth or, if it perseveres on earth until the end, that it will be physically removed from it by the Lord to begin a new life on the new earth ….

Amen

People read the Word but they do not understand its meaning, and thus misguided teachings due to false interpretations are given by those who want to serve Me, if they do not sincerely unite with Me and first ask for an explanation and, when they receive it, accept it without resistance. People single-mindedly adhere to My Word that I have delivered mankind from sin by My crucifixion …. But they do not comprehend the essence of the Word, they do not comprehend the significance of the act of Salvation. Consequently they do not understand what the human being has to do himself in order to join the flock of those who have been delivered from their guilt of sin by My blood.

I have died for all human beings …. providing they want to accept My act of Salvation …. I have not imposed any restrictions, but people set limitations when they do not acknowledge My act of Salvation. And these people exclude themselves from the circle of those for whom I have died on the cross. Consequently, only the sins of those can be forgiven who allow themselves to be saved through their faith in Me and My death on the cross, whereas the sins of those who reject Me and My act of Salvation are not forgiven, because they do not allow themselves to be purified by My blood, and because they do not want to belong to those for whom I have died. Once again human free will is decisive, and I abide by this free will. If people’s guilt of sin were forgiven without faith in Me and My act of love, then the human being would be placed into a state of freedom against his own will …. But this is in opposition to My order because it counteracts My justice as well as My love, since the person will not use this state to bond with Me nor will he ever regret his sin ….

My Word is truth, and no untruth can ever be found in the fact that I have died for all human beings, that I have redeemed all people from their sins …. But their free will has to decide whether they want to be redeemed, whether they want to accept My work of love, because I do not determine the will …. Therefore all of humanity could be free of sin if it believed in My act of Salvation, just as it is and will remain in deepest darkness and subject to their sins if it rejects Me as Redeemer of humanity. And for this reason most of humanity now lives in sin, it is without forgiveness because it no longer acknowledges Me, and thus My act of Salvation has become ineffective for humanity.

Hence the ‘forgiveness of sin’ should not be misunderstood, it is not applicable to those who are completely apart from Me; not that I Am pushing them away, instead they are distancing themselves from Me, they are fleeing from Me, Who is approaching them and constantly asks for their souls. I provide them with a gift of grace which liberates them from their sin and their guilt, but if they reject this it has no effect on them because they belong to those who are fighting on behalf of My adversary and who are therefore still controlled by him until they allow themselves to be saved by Me …. And thus it is wrong to describe My act of Salvation in a way which suggests that all people are beneficiaries of that which their free will could certainly acquire; but which free will can also throw away by rejecting it and by being totally without faith. Only the person who accepts My gift of grace will also become free of his sins, because I have carried his guilt for him, I have suffered for him and accepted the crucifixion.

Although I have died for everyone, not everyone accepts Me …. I took everyone’s guilt upon My shoulders, but not everyone feels guilty and therefore does not place their burden upon Me. And thus they will also be unable to purge their guilt, since it is too immense to do so themselves, because now they are also adding the guilt of rejecting My love …. But how can they hope for the forgiveness of their sins? How can people believe that they can become free of all guilt without their own contribution, without their own will? ….

My love’s sacrifice for you, the purification of all sin through My blood is an incomprehensibly significant blessing for you humans. But you must also want to receive My love, you should not reject it, otherwise it cannot take effect on you, otherwise I cannot redeem the guilt of sin, otherwise your sins will stay with you until you change your mind and acknowledge Me as your divine Saviour, Who died on the cross to redeem you ….

Amen

A heaped measure of sins weighed upon humanity when Jesus Christ descended to earth to redeem it …. This is only comprehensible to those who know the reason for earthly life as a human being and the meaning and purpose of creation, for they know that the human being has travelled the path through creation for the sake of sin and should now free himself from it in the last stage in order to finally return to God again, from Whom he originally originated. But sin ties man down on earth, sin blocks his path to God, it makes the gulf between man and God unbridgeable, and thus sin destroys the purpose of earthly life, it pushes man back into the deepest depth from which he had already risen through his walk through creation. Before Christ’s descent humanity was full of sin because it no longer recognized God, it was in dark spiritual night, it was devoid of all love and without any striving for perfection, it was far removed from God and therefore in greatest danger of sinking into the abyss, i.e., of taking the path which leads downwards, into eternal damnation, without knowledge and without love. This distance from God manifested itself in a way of life which completely contradicted the divine commandments, it was a way of life which contradicted the divine order, it was a life of obvious self-love, and such a life was full of sin and completely against God’s will. And such a life could never ever result in people’s liberation and a blissful life after death but spiritual death was the consequence, a state of extreme torment in the beyond which would never end because God’s justice had to demand atonement for every sin and people’s guilt of sin had already increased immeasurably so that it was hopeless for the beings to ever come close to God. For the being, however, distance from God means powerlessness, impotence, darkness and finally a hardening of its substance …. it means spiritual death for the being, a state that is far worse than non-being …. being extinguished …. But a passing away of the beingness is impossible, so also the torments of these beings are unbearable beyond all conceptions and never-ending …. And the eternal deity took pity on this and came to the aid of sinful humanity in that eternal love embodied itself in a human being Who, in His all-encompassing love, now took upon Himself the sins of humanity, Who thus released people from them by repenting for the guilt of sin by offering a sacrifice to God as atonement …. Who gave Himself, i.e. His life, in order to restore freedom to those, in order to make the kingdom of God accessible to them, which could only be entered in complete purity, without sin …. Thus He redeemed humanity from the guilt of sin, He took all guilt upon Himself, He suffered unspeakably and sacrificed His suffering and death on the cross to the eternal deity in order to give it satisfaction, in order to create a just compensation for people so that they could approach God again. And God accepted the sacrifice of the man Jesus …. He forgave people’s guilt of sin for the sake of Jesus Christ, and the gates of the kingdom of heaven opened to all who accepted His gift of grace …. He redeemed humanity from sin and their guilt …. He offered them the last opportunity to achieve their earthly life purpose ….

(4.10.1944) His greater than great love sought to remove all obstacles from people’s path which blocked their access to the eternal home; but the greatest obstacle was sin, for it robbed the human being of his strength and will. This was the consequence of sin, that people lay on the ground without strength and will and were unable to rise of their own accord because the burden of sin pressed them down. And that is why Jesus Christ took this burden from them, He placed it on Himself and carried it to the cross in order to atone for people’s guilt of sin through His death. Humanity, which had become free through Jesus Christ, could now accept His sacrifice, but also spurn it …. The act of salvation has been accomplished for all people, yet God will never force the blessings of the act of salvation upon them against their will. But they will lose them if they have no desire to be redeemed …. Then sin will still weigh heavily on these people, and then they will inevitably be drawn into the abyss, for then they will reject God’s love, and then they will still have to languish for eternities in their ignorance, their guilt of sin cannot be diminished, indeed, they will still accumulate many earthly sins on top of this guilt of sin, which God can only forgive them when they accept His gift of grace, thus when they can believe with conviction that God’s infinite love had mercy on their sins and sent them a redeemer. Faith in this will cause people to repent of their guilt of sin, to appeal to Him for forgiveness and to hand themselves over to His grace and mercy, and thus the graces of the act of salvation will take effect in him. He will increase in strength of will and power and now be able to free himself from the power of God’s adversary. And only the person will be able to speak of forgiveness of sin who consciously takes refuge under Christ’s cross, confesses his guilt to Him and appeals to Him for mercy …. His prayer will be heard, his guilt will be forgiven ….

Amen

The graces of the act of salvation are far too little utilized and therefore humanity has to suffer excessively as a result of the sins it now has to bear itself. Jesus Christ took humanity’s guilt of sin upon Himself and thus also the consequences of sin …. the suffering with which people must atone and by which they shall be purified. If he now avails himself of the graces of the act of salvation, then he thus accepts the help which Jesus Christ assured him of, which He acquired for people through His death on the cross and which can be availed of by anyone who acknowledges Him and His act of salvation. This is a special grace, because according to divine justice every human being has to atone for his wrongdoing himself, but God was satisfied with the overwhelming love of a human being Who wanted to atone for people’s sins with His death and accepted this sacrifice. People are now relieved of this atonement, sin is taken from them and also guilt …. thus also the consequence of sin …. suffering. But understandably only those people who, by acknowledging Christ and His work of redemption, place themselves in the circle of those for whom Jesus Christ died. He died for all, but he who does not acknowledge Him excludes himself; he rejects the grace …. the help …. He now also has to bear the guilt of sin alone, and thus he also has to accept suffering as a result of sin in order to atone for the first time and to change his mind through suffering, so that he will still turn to the divine redeemer, because without Him he cannot enter the kingdom of God. And thus only those people are redeemed who believe in Jesus Christ, for their sins are also forgiven. But people can never count on forgiveness of sins if they do not make use of the grace acquired through Christ’s death because they do not acknowledge the divine redeemer, because they reject His act of salvation or are completely negative towards Him. For if the human being’s free will were not decisive, i.e., if the act of salvation were effective on all people without distinction, so that the grace of it, the obvious help, would be granted to every human being, then all suffering would be unnecessary, then the world would already be redeemed from the hour Jesus Christ died on the cross, then all guilt of sin would be redeemed and this would mean spiritual ascent for the whole of humanity without exception. For sin would be eliminated from the world because Christ redeemed all people …. Free will, however, would have been overridden and thus becoming perfect would also have been made impossible …. But humanity is free to avail itself of the graces of the work of redemption through conscious acknowledgement and deepest faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer. Through this acknowledgement the human being places himself under Christ’s cross, he belongs to those for whom He died and whom He released from their weakness of will through His death on the cross and who can now strive upwards and are constantly supported with strength and grace which is available to them without measure. For Jesus Christ redeemed the human being from the powerless, completely weakened state which was the result of sin, He delivered him from the power of His adversary as soon as he avails himself of the grace of the act of salvation, as soon as he believes in Him and recommends himself to Him and His grace ….

Amen

It is the will which gives birth to sin, and therefore the will must also be prepared to free itself from it. And therefore the human being must inevitably first come to the realization that he has sinned before he tackles the work of purification. He must be aware of his guilt before he wants to redeem it. And therefore there can be no forgiveness of sin before the human being has recognized his sinful state. For the sinner continues to sin as long as he lacks this realization. However, a person can only recognize his sin when love is awakened in him, love for God and for his neighbour against whom he has sinned. For only this makes him aware of the wrong, only when his heart is capable of love does he understand that he has violated love, that he has become sinful. And depending on the depth of his love he seeks to become free of this sin. Then his will becomes active, just as it was active before when committing the sin. If the human being has not gained this realization beforehand, then he will continue to sin right away …. thus let his will become active in a God-opposing way, and then he can never ever be released from his guilt, for this also requires the human being’s will. And thus it is also understandable that redemption through Jesus Christ always presupposes the human being’s will to allow himself to be redeemed, otherwise there would be no more sin in the whole world and satan’s power would be broken for ever …. Jesus Christ indeed overcame death and broke His adversary’s power, He allowed His will as a human being to become extremely strong and accomplished the act of salvation by virtue of His love, yet always leaving people the freedom of their will to acknowledge His work and follow Him …. thus also allowing their will to become active for redemption. He does not exclude any human being from the blessings and graces of the act of salvation, yet no human being will be compelled to be redeemed, instead, he himself has to recognize that he is sinful and in this realization approach Him, the divine redeemer, and appeal to Him for forgiveness of his guilt …. Then the most incomprehensible act takes place …. God forgives his guilt, He forgives him for the sake of Jesus Christ, Who shed His blood for His fellow human beings and their sins …. God accepted the sacrifice of a loving human being, and countless people can go unpunished if they repent of their guilt and ask for forgiveness for the sake of Jesus Christ …. People cannot comprehend the magnitude of their guilt of sin towards God, and they would never be able to atone for their guilt on earth, and even in the beyond eternities would pass until the final redemption of their guilt if Jesus Christ had not taken pity on them and redeemed them from unspeakably severe suffering on earth and in the beyond through His blood, through a sacrifice of His love, which permeated Him and let Him become the saviour of the whole of humanity. However, no human being can claim redemption who does not turn to Him of his own free will, in the realization of his guilt, and asks for forgiveness …. thus does not acknowledge Him. For this is a prerequisite, because the human being’s free will is respected and will also not be touched by God for eternity and because the human being is free and therefore has to decide for himself to whom he turns …. God or His adversary ….

Amen

Every soul is marked the path it has to take on earth in order to become free from its form, which means a fetter for it. This path need not be thorny if it is taken under God’s guidance, if the human being does not walk alone on earth but constantly has eternal love as a companion, for then even the stony path will be easy to take; it will, as it were, float over all obstacles, it will take every bump without exerting itself, for the heavenly father helps His earthly child to reach its aim unharmed. But the soul itself must also contribute its share, it must declare its willingness before its embodiment to complete the path prescribed to it, it may not break it off, i.e. prematurely put an end to its life on earth, but it must take upon itself everything the earthly path entails. It must never forget that every human being’s destiny has been so determined by divine love from eternity that it offers it abundant opportunities to attain highest maturity, and that every event is therefore necessary for this, even if it appears extremely painful to the human being. For God knows about every impulse of the human soul, and He has taken this into account in the individual’s life. And the human being cannot change anything about it, he has to submit to his fate, yet he is entitled to prayer, and this prayer is able to avert the most difficult things if it is sent up with full faith, for such a prayer will be answered. For although the predetermined event does not fail to happen, God nevertheless gives the human being the strength to take it upon himself, and the soul derives its benefit from every event, it matures upwards and does not live earthly life in vain. Yet the soul should not be afraid of what is to come, for if it belongs to God it will not bear it alone but God will help it to bear it. Thus it will not feel the heaviness if it remains united with God through heartfelt prayer and unselfish neighbourly love. Then everything will be a blessing for it, whatever comes, because God’s wisdom and love have determined the fate of every human being. God’s wisdom and love protect the earthly child until the end, yet it must also consciously submit itself to God’s divine love and wisdom and know and believe at all times that God can and will avert what is not absolutely necessary for the attainment of maturity of soul, and that He will also do so if the human being hands himself over to Him and appeals for His grace. For He is kind and merciful, He is like a father to His children and will not let any suffer if it faithfully trusts Him and recommends itself to His grace …. That His word may be fulfilled, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ….”

Amen

In the hustle and bustle of the world the human being very easily loses contact with the spiritual world if he is not yet inner enough and allows himself to be captured by the world and its stimuli. The forces which struggle around him are limited or favoured in their activity by his will, and therefore no coercion can be exerted on the part of the spiritual forces, only a mental influencing can take place, which is often very difficult for the good forces when the human being lives in the midst of the world and takes little time for inner contemplation. The world is a danger for the soul and yet necessary for its free development, for it does not mature without resistance and struggles. Only in a certain state of maturity does it no longer need temptation, as soon as it has asserted itself against it and joined God or strives towards Him with all its senses. Then the spiritual world comes the closer to him, and the conscious connection with it secures the human being’s ascent to the heights. But the human being is not spared inner struggles of the soul, for the forces of darkness do not give up their attempts to draw him down into their realm. Yet the soul can also grow stronger from this, for although it does not fall prey to the lower forces either, its desire and struggle for God becomes stronger the more it feels oppressed. And this also results in increased influx of grace, which always increases the soul’s maturity. Even temptation is permitted by God because it can benefit the soul, so that the soul will not become lukewarm and sluggish in its striving upwards. The human being whose life passes in uniformity also usually remains on the same level of development if he is not exceptionally lovingly active, thus he fulfils his purpose of earthly life by himself and no longer needs the incentive for spiritual striving. However, a state of struggle is indisputably more beneficial for the soul, for earthly time is short and every opportunity should be utilized in order to reach the highest possible level of maturity. And therefore the human being should not allow himself to be depressed if he is afflicted by battles of the soul …. He should approach the heavenly father with everything that oppresses him and commend himself to Him and His grace …. he should wait patiently for His help, fully believing and trusting in His loving care …. he should be unconcerned, for the father in heaven does not leave His children in the distress of their souls. And there is nothing His omnipotence cannot banish and His love does not want to banish. Only firm faith in Him, in His omnipotence and love, should inspire the earthly child, for the father considers His children according to faith. And the human being should always pray: “Father, Your will be done ….” and his soul will be delivered from every adversity ….

Amen

Divine help will never be requested in vain because God’s love will not deny it to anyone who approaches Him in prayer. And this awareness will also strengthen faith if it is still weak, only the human being must not want to determine the form of help himself but he must leave it up to God in which way He comes to the human being’s aid. God will not always grant His help in accordance with the human being’s will, because this is not always beneficial for the soul, yet He will not deny him His assistance, and the human being can always rely on his adversity being remedied. Therefore he should seriously give account to himself how he sends his prayer up to God …. whether it rises from the heart in all humility of heart, devoted to His sanctified will, trusting that it will be answered and in fullest faith in God’s love and omnipotence, or whether it lacks this sincerity which God requires from the praying person in order to grant him His assistance. God’s love inclines towards every earthly child which calls upon Him in its adversity, but God’s love also considers the supplicant in all wisdom and will not grant him something which could harm his soul. The human being cannot always judge whether and when he is in spiritual distress; God, however, knows and therefore intervenes to help, even though this is not recognized by people. And thus the earthly adversity, which is the cause of the appeal to God, is imposed on the human being by Himself in order to avert spiritual adversity from him. And therefore a prayer cannot always be answered in the form the human being requests, instead, the purpose of the adversity must first be fulfilled before God can grant the human being’s appeal. Yet He will not leave him without help …. And the human being must firmly believe in it, he must be fully convinced that God, in His love, will avert all adversity from His child if it takes refuge in childlike trust in the father in prayer …. For love does not deny itself, it is always ready to help. The deeper this faith takes root in a person, the easier he masters the world, for then nothing can frighten or worry him anymore, he feels so intimately united with the father in heaven that he presents everything that moves him to Him. He never feels alone and helpless but is always aware of the help of Him Who is love Himself and therefore constantly distributes love. And his prayer will always be heard because God will not let His child’s faith be put to shame ….

Amen

People who are permeated by the spirit of truth are chosen to spread this truth, and this is a responsible mission on earth, for receiving the truth is also a commitment to pass it on. Constant activity is expected of them, activity for the kingdom of God which conveys the truth to earth through these people. Yet the hearts of those chosen to do so are able to love, otherwise the spirit of God would be unable to take effect in them. And this ability to love lets the work of spreading the divine truth become a joyful task which they gladly and readily comply with. As soon as a person is imbued by divine truth he also loses the sense for the pleasures and goods of the world; he only derives joy from spiritual knowledge and therefore the spiritual work becomes his purpose in life. And yet it is a responsible task if he bears in mind that he has the opportunity to lead untold souls onto the right path, onto the path of realisation, and that he must make the most of this opportunity in every way …. As a representative of God he is placed into a field of activity where he can work exceedingly successfully; however, it requires a firm will, great love, patience and perseverance, it requires the keen activity of body and soul, both have to yield to the urging of the spirit, which constantly spurs them to do this work. Thus the human being must place himself entirely at God’s disposal Who informs the human being through His spirit about what his work consists of. As long as the soul is still in two minds it cannot hear the voice of the spirit clearly enough and must try to banish this state by unreservedly handing itself over to God and appealing to Him for his correct guidance in every way …. It must not anxiously speculate and think but must completely and trustingly hand itself over to the spirit’s guidance and it will always take the right path …. Then all events in life will approach a person so that he can accomplish his spiritual work, so that he can work for the kingdom of God.

This work is not obvious at first, for the time has not yet come for the working of the labourer’s of the Lord …. As yet His labourers are prepared in silence, and their activity, too, is limited; however, they shall even be active in silence until the time comes when great activity will start for the salvation of the souls which will suffer great adversity. But the spirit in the human being will guide him to where his work is needed. For time and again souls will be prepared who will likewise be responsible for working for the kingdom of God, for many labourers will be required in the vineyard of the Lord. Prior to this the divine truth will be conveyed to them, so that they will become competent labourers and be able to work for God in the coming time. For they will be needed by countless souls who still linger in spiritual darkness and will not be able to find the path to the light …. but where divine truth exists that is where light is shining, and if the light is given to people in the right way, if the truth is offered to them with love, many a heart will open up and allow itself to become enlightened. Being able to save souls for eternity is a happiness-inducing mission, it is a mission which is constantly accompanied by God’s blessing, and every labourer in the vineyard of the Lord can be assured of divine help by merely eagerly striving to speak on behalf of the kingdom of God on earth, for then he will always be supported by spiritual forces and his work will be blessed ….

Amen

You can easily fall prey to the power of evil if you slow down in prayer and deeds of love. For he is lying in wait for every weakness in order to make you fall; he is using every opportunity to make you sinful, and he will certainly succeed if you lack the strength which you gain through prayer and deeds of love. You should therefore never allow yourselves to feel safe, for the enemy of your souls will also come to you in the disguise of a friend, he will try to win you over to have an easy game with you. And if you don’t pay attention you will recognise him too late and will no longer be able to protect yourselves from his cunning and deceit. Prayer, however, will protect you from his power, for then you are establishing a connection with God, you are building an invincible barrier against evil.

This connection with God will equally be established through unselfish activities of love, which will give you the strength from God directly and then you will no longer need to fear the opponent. And this contact with God through prayer and deeds of love should never be disregarded, even if a person apparently is in no need of strength. For the enemy of souls will not easily give up his shameful plans, and what he cannot achieve today he will try tomorrow, until the constant temptations have weakened the person and he surrenders with almost no resistance, if the strength from God is not flowing to Him. But the human being can send a heartfelt prayer to God at any time, and this will always be granted, for God will not leave a human soul to his adversary just like that, for He is likewise struggling for every soul, trying to win it over for Himself. Consequently, there will be no shortage of strength from Him, providing the will of the person accepts it. But if the person has a weak will of resistance, then the adversary will have won his game.

And the Lord cautions you not to let him gain power over you, not to hand yourselves over to him through unkind actions and not to forget to make contact with God through prayer, for then you will make your earthly life more difficult for yourselves, because you will constantly have to defend yourselves and lack the strength to do so …. Life is an endless struggle, for the light is constantly fighting against the darkness, and in order to defeat the darkness the human being requires divine help, divine strength, which he will receive in abundance through prayer and actions of love. And this is why you should always be on your guard, for Satan’s game of deceit is dangerous, and he will be victorious if the human being slackens in striving to ascend. Therefore, be vigilant and remain in prayer, and God’s adversary will always meet with resistance, for then you will have God Himself as your most loyal protection, Who will never ever surrender you to the enemy of your souls ….

Amen

Anyone who closes himself off to the word of God is still surrounded by a shell which stops the effect of the divine word. He cannot feel anything, God’s emanation of love certainly touches him, yet due to his own immaturity the soul is insensitive to it, and it remains so until it is active in love itself. The word of God is intended to stimulate activity in love, and therefore it first has to be received with the ear and conveyed to the heart through the human being’s will. If the heart is now ready for love activity then the human being accepts the word of God ever more joyfully and hungrily; but if he is incapable of love then he rejects it, he closes himself off to its effect, and the soul remains in dense encasement to its own disadvantage. The strength of divine love, which is conveyed to the human being through the word, cannot penetrate this envelopment and consequently cannot awaken the spirit in the human being’s soul to life either. The spirit of God cannot make contact with the spiritual spark in the human being and the human being always remains isolated from spiritual strength. Nevertheless, the word of God shall be offered to him again and again, his intellect shall be stimulated even though his heart remains inactive and unwilling. He shall be prompted to think by love being preached to him again and again. The soul of a rejecting person is to be regarded as an unfree, unhappy being which cannot help itself from its bondage alone, and it should be the constant endeavour of fellow human beings to bring help to this soul. The fact that this help consists of stimulating the human being into loving activity therefore results in the necessity to repeatedly bring the word of God to him in love and patience. Every opportunity is to be used, and a servant of God should never tire in this work, for the hardship of the souls is exceedingly great, which walk along in the night of the spirit and cannot register any progress in their higher development. People should be admonished to at least make an attempt to work in love so that they will feel the success in themselves and become aware of the strength which arises from loving activity. Then they will also listen more to the word of God and, even if they don’t want to admit it yet, nevertheless think about it, and this is already a step forward. The strength of God must be supplied to the human being, since without it he is weak and unable to mature spiritually. As soon as the will to do good is present, strength flows to the human being through prayer. But if this will is first to be turned towards God, the strength must also flow to him because he is too weak to change himself and his will. And this strength is the divine word …. but it can only become effective when it is willingly accepted. And therefore the love of the fellow human being must come into play, for what is offered in love does not easily miss its effect …. The fellow human being must lovingly try to explain to the person the consequences of a loveless way of life and present to him the successes of a life of love which he can achieve himself if he does not close himself off to the word of God, and he himself must set a good example by practicing the life of love he preaches himself, by giving love and thereby awakening reciprocal love again, and he will achieve success by the fact that a good example encourages imitation. And once the human being has made the attempt, every good deed will result in further deeds of love, for then the strength from God will already be active in the human being …. love makes him happy, and now the human being will also open himself up to the word of God more and more, for it will gain life, it will no longer merely be words which touch the ear but will penetrate the heart …. the cover which surrounds the soul will become increasingly weaker until it is completely dissolved by the working of love and the spirit will then awaken to life. And now it can be constantly active …. now the word of God no longer penetrates the human being from outside but it is offered to him from within, from his spirit; the spirit teaches him and forcefully presents to him the necessity of a way of life according to God’s will. The spirit impels him to activity, to work in love, the spirit guides him into truth …. He now receives the divine gospel through the spirit within him. And he will be instructed in the divine teaching of love as well as in the most profound spiritual truths, so that he can now acquire knowledge which is no longer imparted to him from outside but which is offered to him by divine love itself through the word which the spirit in the human being receives from God Himself and now imparts to the soul, which is extremely grateful as soon as it has shed its shell and entered into fusion with the divine spirit within itself. For only now does the human being live when soul and spirit work together ….

Amen

Behold, you are approaching a time of complete dissolution, put into action initially by the human being himself who lets his will become active in a destructive and annihilating way, and finally carried out by God’s will and through His power, because the end has come which God has determined since eternity. This dissolution can mean an accelerated maturing of the spirit if matter is previously allowed to be of extraordinary service, i.e., if the dissolution of matter is the result of increased utilisation of that which serves man for benefit. Then the passing away of this also corresponds to God’s will and is advantageous for the spiritual that is sheltered in it. However, if matter is destroyed or completely annihilated before it has matured through service …. if human will of destruction extends to things which have not yet fulfilled their purpose on earth, which therefore are still at the beginning of the spiritual’s development therein, an act of violence takes place which is contrary to God’s will and which has an extremely detrimental effect on the spiritual. For this becomes free without having matured and can now let off steam, and that in a way which is harmful for the already more mature spiritual, for human beings and animals. For the still immature spiritual oppresses those by burdening people extraordinarily and turning their mind to matter to an increased degree, i.e., the spiritual constantly brings itself to mind in the form of prematurely destroyed matter, which the human being now strives for all the more covetously. Only people of more mature spirit do not let themselves be pressed by those because they have already overcome matter before and are no longer dependent on it to the extent that they believe they cannot do without it. But the raging of the spiritual that has become free increases more and more, for people do not stop their works of destruction and the decline of spiritual development becomes ever more apparent, so that God Himself commands an end by dissolving every form from the lowest to the highest degree of development through His will. Everything on earth will be destroyed, even the surface of the earth will dissolve and be transformed into completely new creations. For now a new course of development begins for the entire spiritual, which in the end has not yet attained the maturity to be able to enter the kingdom of light. God Himself completes in love and wisdom what man has tackled in hatred and lack of love and in ignorance of the consequences. Human will is reprehensible and causes the greatest spiritual damage. But the divine will puts a stop to it, and His work of destruction is at the same time a correction of that which was previously out of all divine order …. For what He does is exceedingly good and wise and always promotes spiritual ascent development, whereas people’s actions are caused by unkindness and disregard all divine order and are therefore sinful. Nevertheless, the God-desiring human being can still be beneficially active in the last time of dissolution by still helping many things to be of service in accordance with divine order, by being active himself and tirelessly creating in helpful neighbourly love in order to be able to provide his fellow human being with objects which are suitable for his purpose, and thus he helps the spiritual substance to mature so that it is no longer completely immature at the time of the last dissolution. He thereby gives the spiritual, which has become free through human will to destroy, the opportunity to embody itself again, he alleviates the hardship of the spiritual as well as of the human being who needs earthly objects for daily life; and he also helps himself to greater maturity of soul, as soon as love for his neighbour drives him to earthly activity. As soon as the human being has knowledge he will also understand the last work of destruction on God’s part, whereas the ignorant human being is unable to reconcile it with a creator Who is loving, wise and omnipotent. And yet, all of God’s activity is based on profound wisdom and greater than great love, and this last work of dissolution is also an act of God’s love which intervenes when the spiritual substance is in utmost danger of losing itself. Then He binds it anew in order to give it the opportunity to reach the degree of development again, which earns it freedom of choice again, so that it will make better use of it if it has failed on this earth ….

Amen

It is the spirit that gives life …. The word alone is dead if the spirit does not enliven it …. And if you hear the word as a dead word you cannot draw strength from it, for the strength is God’s part which only expresses itself through the spirit. Yet the word is spiritually enlivened, that is, if you not only hear it with your ear but also with your heart, which contains the divine spirit, you will feel its strength, the word will speak to you and you will be filled with divine spiritual strength. The word alone only speaks to the intellect, but the spirit in the word speaks to the heart …. the word alone only has earthly value, but the word enlivened by the spirit will last for eternity. For the spirit is from God, and thus the word enlivened by the spirit is God’s word, whereas people certainly also have the word but it is only the product of intellect which passes away as soon as the human being as such passes away on earth. Dead word is everything that only touches the body but leaves the soul unimpressed; the spiritually enlivened word, however, is felt by the soul because it speaks to the spirit in the human being. The divine spirit makes contact with the spiritual spark in the human being and expresses itself to the soul in the word which, however, as spiritually enlivened, has the deepest effect on the human being whose spiritual spark has established contact with the father-spirit. And this word gives life, it awakens to life and can never be considered a dead word because it lets the person become active who listens to this word. God’s word will never be a dead word, only the life in it can remain unrecognized by the human being as long as he makes no effort to look for the spirit in it, for it only reveals itself to the seeking human being who, without any external influence, tries to penetrate the kingdom which is the home of the spirit, thus he unconsciously looks for the divine spirit …. and this spirit reveals itself through the living word …. through the word which the spirit of God conveys to the spiritual spark in the human being with great love, and thus this word must also become effective, for everything that lives is constantly active, and only activity testifies to life. But if the word is permeated by God’s spirit then it can never remain without effect, and then its life becomes evident.

The word, which is enlivened by the spirit, therefore carries strength within itself and now remains effective for eternity, but only if it touches the human being’s heart when it is received, not just the ear. It can indeed also be received intellectually but then it will not yet penetrate the human being’s soul, for the latter only accepts that which is conveyed to it from within, from the spirit. But the word, which reaches the heart, establishes the connection with the spiritual spark in the human being, and thus the soul can then be instructed by it, thus receive the strength which lies in the living word. As long as people don’t know the difference between heart and intellect it is incomprehensible to them that the human being receives profound knowledge from within. And therefore the word of God, which is truly blessed with His strength, can be offered countless times and yet it cannot emanate its strength because the human being does not open his heart, because the life of the word, the spirit, does not find access to the spiritual spark in the human being, and then the word, although it is alive, remains without effect and fades away like a dead word in people’s ears, just like a word which is spoken without thought, which is not permeated by the life of the spirit. But as soon as a word is spoken in deep love, it is also alive. For love is God’s strength which always awakens the spirit in a person. If the word of God, which is pure strength and love from God, is also offered by people who love and try to radiate their love to their fellow human beings, then it must also take effect on them, for the strength of love penetrates the shell of the spirit which is still dormant in the human being and awakens it to life …. The strength of the word now also brings about the activity of the spirit in the human being, for the strength of the word is the spirit of God’s spirit which makes contact with the spiritual spark in the human being and then God’s emanation can touch the human being’s soul unhindered and gives the human being the ability and willingness to be active in God’s will. But the heart must always open first, i.e. the human will must be ready for divine activity. And this is the purpose of the word of God, that it stimulates the human being’s will by first being offered to the ear and the intellect, so that it then carries the life of the spirit within itself through the human being’s will, so that it comes alive and works in and on the human being, so that he shapes himself according to God’s will, so that he transforms his initially oppositional nature and shapes himself according to God’s image …. so that he becomes love in order to be able to join the eternal love forever ….

Amen

Worldly endeavours will always meet with the approval of the children of the world, but those who are inclined towards the spiritual kingdom will condemn them, for they are directed against everything spiritual and therefore mean a threat to those who strive spiritually. The children of the world, however, do not approve of spiritual endeavours, they feel hindered by them and consequently agree that the latter should be fought. And so people will soon divide into children of the spirit and children of the world, only the latter will outnumber the former and therefore push through their measures because the others are too weak to rebel against them. And this results in a strong oppression of those who have faith and therefore strive for the spiritual kingdom, and they are exposed to many sufferings and tribulations for the sake of their faith. The children of the world are completely faithless, they believe themselves to be enlightened and spiritually superior to others, and thus they feel justified in taking action against them and eradicating all faith, for they don’t know what blessings they are forfeiting for themselves through their faithlessness. They only think and strive for earthly goods and don’t consider their souls because they don’t believe that the soul will enter the spiritual kingdom after its earthly life. They do not recognize a spiritual kingdom because it cannot be proven. And to draw the greatest possible advantages from earth for the body is man’s only concern …. And thus both parties oppose each other, the one small in number but strong through faith in an almighty God Who will stand by them in His love …. and the large mass, which certainly appears strong on the outside but is too weak to fight against faith in order to dissuade the small flock or to make them compliant to their wishes. For power and strength are with those who fight with God and for God …. But the children of the world will proceed ever more harshly the more steadfastly those who strive spiritually persevere in their faith. For the children of the world are also satan’s children, and he uses all means to snatch His followers away from God. And therefore he also makes use of the world and its charms …. A time of most bitter adversity will come for the believers which they could certainly easily remedy if they would submit to the demands of the world. And therefore it will cost a struggle to remain faithful to God in view of the temptations by the world and the extremely meagre living conditions the believers have to suffer. But the world will not be able to uproot the followers of the faith. They have already overcome the world and no longer take pleasure in things that are transient and do not come from the spiritual kingdom. They have tasted the graces of the spiritual kingdom, and they will never again give them away for earthly trinkets, for perishable goods and everything that belongs to the world. For even in times of bitterest adversity the gifts of grace flow to them from the spiritual kingdom, and these compensate them for all restrictions and tribulations which arise from worldly measures. The enemy onslaught will indeed be very fierce and require convinced faith, but the small flock of God’s fighters will be in close union with Jesus Christ and He will lead them out of the battle victoriously. For He provides them with strength, He leads them into battle and helps them to bear all adversity so that they can never be overcome, no matter how strong and brutal the opponent is. For the greatest strength lies in faith in Jesus Christ, and they fight with the weapons of love, and against these the adversary is powerless …. Anyone who loves the world will also fall prey to the world, yet those who strive towards the spiritual kingdom are no longer tempted by the world, and thus they only receive gifts from the spiritual kingdom, but they are also supported by the forces of this kingdom, and their power is truly greater than earthly power. The time of battle is short and thus also the time of suffering for the believers …. Yet they carry off the victory, for they will live forever, while the children of the world find their death physically and spiritually …. yet never cease to be …. And this spiritual death is extremely agonizing, and they owe it to the world which struck their souls in fetters and from which they were unable to break away …. They sought the world and found death. But the believers will overcome the world and find eternal life ….

Amen

You will have to be careful not to fall prey to the temptations of the world if you are not yet strong enough in faith. For the hostilities of the world are especially directed towards you, it seeks to win you over and to persuade you to fall away from God, and therefore you must arm yourselves with the shield of faith and steel it beforehand so that it will stand firm. Anyone who is still weak should struggle for strength of faith, he should not stop asking for strength and grace and his will should always be turned towards God; he should practice love because strength will flow into him and he will then be able to withstand all temptations by the world. So love is always the first …. incessantly being active in love will let you grow in realization, you will attain convinced faith and this will have an unshakeable strength, love is a weapon which overcomes everything and forces the strongest enemy to the ground, because God Himself is active in the loving human being. And again and again it has to be pointed out that the coming time will bring you abundant opportunities to practice neighbourly love, and that you must not fail then if you want to survive the horrors of the time, if you want to go through this last battle unharmed in body and soul. Nothing else can replace the strength of love and nothing else can earn you this strength than active neighbourly love, as energetic care for the soul and body of your fellow human being. If you practice this, the time of tribulation need not frighten you, for then you will have the strength within you to master all opposition. But as soon as you lack love you will also waver in faith, because faith without love is dead and a dead faith is without conviction and without strength. Then the world will easily succeed in making you inclined towards its temptations; earthly life will seem incomparably more appealing to you, for you have nothing more blissful to offer it …. the delights of a profound bond with God through love …. Then you will fall away and be lost for eternity, for the final decision is upon you and you will only be able to make it correctly if you believe deeply and steadfastly. And therefore God warns you urgently of the temptations of the world, and again and again He admonishes you to love …. He constantly shows you the path you have to take in order to emerge victoriously from the last time of battle; yet there is only one path, the path of love …. And if you walk this path you need not fear anything, no matter what may come. But without love the path is difficult or, if you leave it, dangerous for your soul …. And prayer is always at your disposal. If you are in danger of becoming weak, call upon God for His help, present your adversity to Him and appeal to Him for grace and strength, and He will truly not let your prayer go unheard if you fear for your soul’s salvation and take refuge in Him. And you will receive the strength to be lovingly active and then use it in the right way …. Always bear in mind that you cannot become blessed without love but that in love you will find the fullest substitute for everything the world can offer you. For it is only pseudo goods which you desire …. for their sake don’t give up the goods of eternity which make you deeply happy and turn you into free, blissful beings. Therefore fight the short battle with God, i.e. remain in constant contact with God in love for your neighbour, and you will emerge victorious from this battle and eternally enjoy your victory ….

Amen

A little while longer and your thinking will be forcibly directed upwards, you who are only entangled in earthly matter and don’t want to detach yourselves from it. But you will have to do it, for God Himself will take everything from you in order to direct your mind towards Himself. You humans do not benefit from the difficult time which has come upon you; you do not ask yourselves what is the cause of adversity and affliction, and thus you do not change because you do not recognize yourselves. And thus the adversity of the time has not yet had an influence on your soul’s life, and therefore God resorts to more severe means in order to change your mind …. He takes away everything your heart is attached to, both people and possessions …. And this in the shortest possible time …. And thus He shows Himself in a way which seemingly lacks divine love. Yet you humans want it that way yourselves, for you did not recognize God’s love when it expressed itself …. You did not accept His word, which is God’s emanation of love, and in your blindness you did not recognize that God Himself met you in His word …. Thus He comes in bitter suffering, although again not recognized by those who are bound by matter, for they do not seek God and thus cannot find Him either. He reveals Himself again, but in the most painful way …. He comes in the raging of the forces of nature and lets His voice sound, mighty and terrifying, and all shall hear Him. And where this voice will sound there will be great misery afterwards, for He will sensitively strike those people who do not want to bow down to Him under the law of love and who therefore shall feel His severity. For the law of love is disregarded to the point of inhumanity …. God has always and constantly taught love, His adversary preaches hatred, God gave truth to people, His adversary interspersed it with lies and error, and now the adversary gains the upper hand because people listen to him while they reject God. They disregard love, they no longer strive for truth, and all their actions and thoughts are influenced by God’s adversary, so that the human being is no longer receptive for the truth from God. And yet He reveals Himself to them so that they shall recognize Him. For His working will be so obvious that a higher power would have to be recognized in it …. But now questions and doubts arise about the existence of God, Who Himself destroys that which He created …. And this uncertainty is used by God-rejecting people to initiate the fight against faith, for this the work of destruction by the forces of nature offers them a welcome tool …. And the people of the affected areas are the first to believe their explanations …. they discard their old faith and strive with increased strength towards matter again, i.e. they seek to restore the former conditions as quickly as possible …. And this time is characterized by the most severe spiritual battles …. For now people are running riot ….

He who is in possession of grace, who turns his gaze upwards and accepts the grace flowing towards him, will probably keep away from the goings-on and watch the course of earthly events with horror. For he recognizes God, and he recognizes the God-opposing nature of human activity. And he seeks to enlighten wherever he is given the opportunity. But he will have little success because the voice of the world drowns him out and is rather respected. But if God lets His voice be heard they can still become attentive and remember these admonitions of their fellow human beings, and this can save their souls. For the time of suffering afterwards, the hardship and meagre way of life, the seemingly difficult struggle for existence can have a favourable effect on the human being insofar as he loses his love for matter and learns to recognize spiritual striving as the purpose of life. But the majority will strive more than ever to possess the goods of the world and will spare no means to acquire them. And then the unkindness of the world will first come to light unveiled. And this will mean a terrible life for those people who are still capable of love, for they will be exposed to constant threats and hostility and will not be able to defend themselves because they are weak and powerless in the face of those who live at the will of the world …. The time will be hard but also bearable where God’s strength can become effective, where people’s will strives towards God and the human being requests strength from God …. for God does not rely on His own, and the greater the adversity the closer and more tangible His help is. And by this fellow human beings will also recognize the strength of faith and, if they are not completely hardened, become thoughtful. God’s love courts every soul and makes it truly possible for it to come to realization. But since the human being has to decide in free will, he can only be affected in the form of suffering as soon as he does not listen to the gentle admonitions and warnings. And since people do not pay attention to His word, which easily helps them to realize, He must now bring His power to bear and try to persuade people to turn back in a painful way. This is the last resort before the end and therefore also particularly painful for countless people, yet it has been planned since eternity because the whole of humanity stands in a God-opposing will which cannot be broken by God’s gentleness and goodness. And if this event does not bring about a change of will there is no longer salvation for the souls on this earth and they have to bear the consequences of their rebelliousness. The soul has to walk the path through the creation of the new earth again and take upon itself an unspeakably agonizing fate until, after an infinitely long time, it is allowed to make a free decision of its will again ….

Amen

Become like little children, then you will be able to love Me like a child loves its Father. Don’t oppose My will but let Me guide you; take hold of My Fatherly hand and follow Me without resistance and with total confidence that I will guide you correctly. In that case you will be absolved from all responsibility, for the Father will not hold His child to account if it always remains close to Him and, with childlike obedience, accepts the Father’s will. Then I will care for My children with greater than great love, I will draw them to My heart and will never let them go from Me again, for then they will be My Own forever. I ask for nothing else but their love, and if you regard Me as your Father, if you feel like My children, love will indeed be kindled in you and you will want to belong to Me and thus also fulfil My will. The child knows that it will find the right protection with its Father, it knows that it will be watched over and provided with everything it needs, for the Father’s love will not leave its child in adversity, and because the child knows that it is loved by Him it will love Him in return …. This is why I want you to recognise Me as your Father, because I long for your love and want to win you over for Me. You have belonged to Me since the beginning, yet only when you hand yourselves over to Me will you be My children in truth, otherwise you will merely be My living creations, you certainly came forth from Me but you are not united with Me in love. Only love will turn you into My children to whom I want to be a real Father …. Only love for Me will establish the right relationship and this love is what I seek to attract for an infinitely long time. A child who loves Me with all its heart will find absolute bliss at My Fatherly heart, for this beats in ardent love for this child and anyone who possesses My love is happy beyond measure, even if the body does not feel it as yet while it still lives on earth. Nevertheless, the soul feels the strength of My love and, in constant longing, turns to Me. It strives towards Me and desires My Word …. For love seeks the union, and since the earthly child cannot see Me, it wants to hear Me and therefore attentively listens to My Word sounding in its heart. And I will speak Words of love and of comfort to My child, Words of strength and of grace …. I will give to it what it desires, light and strength …. so that it shall grow strong and its love shall burst into a bright flame. Then I will draw close to it and pull it up to Me …. I will lift it from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of light as soon as it no longer desires anything else on earth other than My love …. then it will be ready for the spiritual kingdom, for if it has love, it will have become like Me and need never separate itself from Me again, because it will be united with Me for all eternity since it will have kindled its love for Me in its heart. And so you shall look up to Me like children, then you will also be able to love Me like children and desire Me with all your heart, and then My Fatherly love will belong to you and you will be blissfully happy ….

Amen

You will never stumble in your will to do the right thing, for then I will protect you from it. But if you trust in your own strength, then your will is not meant for Me, then you already exclude Me from your thinking, and then you can also easily sin. Everything that goes against My laws, against the order I have established, is sin. If you desire Me and therefore your will is directed towards Me and towards unification with Me, then you will not do anything which goes against My order, for since I know your will I will not leave you powerless to carry it out. But if you sin, then you draw on My adversary’s strength and must also have turned to him beforehand through evil thoughts, words or works. Anyone who believes he can sin although his will is turned towards Me does not know about My love for all My creatures. I can certainly test him and let him go through temptations but his will can always overcome them because My grace is at his disposal, thus he need never sin as long as he strives to reach Me. He can certainly become weak in temptation, i.e. he can feel weak, but he need never fall because a longing thought towards Me already provides him with the strength to resist the temptation. And thus you humans always have prayer in every temptation, in every adversity and danger of the soul. If your heart longs for Me, if your will is only meant for Me alone, then every temptation of the world can approach you or tempt you to overturn the order …. a heartfelt sigh to Me for strength will let you victoriously overcome everything. Therefore do not believe that, if your will is good, you must sin …. For in sin the strength of the one who is My adversary predominates. But you only give him strength through your will, which then no longer applies to Me but has turned away from Me. Sin is disregarding My commandments, acting against them …. Sin is everything that destroys and does not build up, that causes hatred and lack of love and can therefore be recognized by every person as bad, i.e. contrary to God’s will …. Sin is a conscious doing of that which violates My commandments …. However, you will never be forced to do so but your free will drives you to do so, and this can indeed be extremely weakened but it can be strengthened by Jesus Christ …. Thus you will never need to be weak-willed if you call upon Me, the divine redeemer, for strength. You will never need to sin if you surrender your will to Me …. I remedy your weakness, you are constantly under My protection and sin has no power over you as long as you yourselves do not concede it …. What a mistake that you must sin, although your will is good …. The weakness of will can be remedied at any time, for I died the death on the cross for it …. but anyone who does not acknowledge Me will also hardly turn his will towards Me, and evil has power over him, and he can fall and sin because he does not know what it means to place his will under Mine and to be cared for by My love and supplied with My strength from hour one. Sin is an open confession of turning away from Me, which indeed can also be accomplished by a person who strives to be good; but at the moment of sin he has always given his will to evil. And since his will is free he will not be hindered by Me as soon as he neglects to appeal to Me for the grace of increased will and strength to resist. For as long as he surrenders to the adversary My strength is ineffective, i.e., he rejects it himself and draws the strength from that one. Then he sins by acting against My order, by disregarding My commandments of love and thus transgressing against them. But anyone who does not want to sin always has My grace at his disposal and his will, which desires Me, guarantees him the supply of this strength. For where would My love be if I wanted to make an earthly child’s serious endeavour to be good more difficult by leaving it without help? How do you imagine this love which lets a person fall if it can hinder him? Which would let a person sin whose will is to live according to My good pleasure? Sin is always My adversary’s work, whereas I want to protect all My creations from sin and also do so if they have given their will to Me. Therefore, anyone who sins has given himself into My adversary’s power of free will and must answer for it. And the greater his sin is the further he is in the realization that he has the possibility to resist sin and thus the evil power through prayer, through the request of strength …. For then his sin is conscious, and the magnitude of his guilt is correspondingly ….

Amen

When the fountain of life opens, the source from which divine wisdom flows, when God’s grace pours out upon a human being in the form of His word, this is an act of God’s greatest love, which cannot be valued highly enough …. God Himself, the most perfect being, descends to earth in His word …. He lets His spiritual emanation emanate upon people, as it were, He gives them a gift which originates directly from Him, which has its origin in perfection itself and is intended for the still imperfect beings. And this gift of grace is founded in His infinite love, which never decreases and therefore also constantly wants to make people happy …. yet how little it is recognized and how few are therefore granted the blessings of His word …. What should make humanity happy as the greatest gift of grace is left unnoticed, and thus a delicious drink of rennet inexorably flows out of the eternal source which remains unused. Humanity is in the greatest earthly misery and does not heed the spiritual consolation. It is in spiritual distress and does not recognize the means that sets it free from its …. It passes by the source of grace from which it could refresh and strengthen itself, and it continues to wander in the arid desert without strength until it sinks down exhausted. It has a mirage before its eyes, it sees the world and expects earthly pleasures there. And people chase after this illusion, and that is why they do not see the born of life along the way, but hurry past it. Yet the divine source of grace will always open up in secret, yet it will present itself to every wanderer who hungers and thirsts to refresh himself, for everyone has access to it who seeks it off the broad path. And even if all the wanderers of the world were to camp at this spring, it will not run dry, for what originates in God never ends …. And what has its origin in God can only be divine and change again into divine beings which refresh themselves at the spring of eternal love. Yet His divine gift meets with little approval, even if it is offered so conspicuously that it can be recognized by all people as a gift from God. People do not desire it because they lack faith in the strength of what is offered to them from the spiritual kingdom. They have not yet tasted the drink of rennet and therefore do not know of its efficacy …. They still deceive themselves in their strength and don’t know about their weakness of will, otherwise they would fetch the strength from the source of eternal love …. And so the living water flows out of the spring, and it fails in its purpose …. it dries up in the sand, in the desert, it does not revive …. The word of God is conveyed among men, and only a few accept it. The power of the divine word cannot take effect because no-one wants to accept it, because people don’t desire it and don’t recognize God’s gift of grace as such. And in weakness of will and darkness of spirit they go along without fulfilling their purpose of earthly life, for they lack the strength to do so. They lack faith in God’s merciful love for His living creations or they would find in it the explanation for God’s extraordinary working which visibly appears through the presentation of His word in its purest form …. However, anyone who does not recognize this working of God can also be offered the word of God elsewhere, he will not accept it, for the word which God has blessed with His strength is truly most easily recognizable and exceedingly comprehensible to every person. Anyone who passes by it will hardly have access to the spiritual kingdom, for the source is hidden from him and he will not feel the strength of the living water because he does not desire it. God’s gift of grace is a delicious gift, yet the giver wants to be recognized and asked for His gift of grace, then He will water the thirsty and feed the hungry from the fountain of life, so that strength will flow to them and they will step out of the darkness of night into the light of day, so that they will be strengthened for their earthly way of life and can effortlessly cover the long path which leads upwards towards the eternal home ….

Amen

If you take the life of the soul seriously every day and every hour will be beneficial for you, for I consider you according to your will. And if you believe that you are in danger, spiritually or earthly, you should always bear in mind that I Myself am close to you because you have already proven yourselves to be Mine through your will, because you therefore belong to those who want to be Mine, who desire to be under My fatherly protection. And I do not leave these children in adversity but save them as soon as it is beneficial for the soul. I have tremendous love for you, however, this also involves a certain amount of suffering which has to be imposed on your soul in order to mature. And therefore hardship cannot be completely excluded from your life, you must take a measure of it upon yourselves because it is necessary for the purification of your soul, and therefore you must not regard the suffering as a lack of love and believe that I have abandoned you, instead I am closer to you than ever in adversity and strengthen your soul so that it overcomes the hardship. And therefore you will be led out again and again as soon as you humbly accept everything I allow for your soul’s salvation. Love for you determines your fate, and this love will not leave you helpless if you need help. Therefore always trust in My love and don’t let yourselves be depressed by the hardship and suffering of the time, for I will end it at the right time …. Amen

My word is the most valuable possession you have on earth …. And this word shall be everything to you, for I Myself am in the word. Therefore, if you have Me Myself you should no longer strive for anything else, otherwise you will share your love for Me with whatever you desire. But if I am with you in the word, the highest measure of grace is at your disposal, and thus your longing for the goods of the world shall then be satisfied. For what are these compared to My word, to the evidence of My heartfelt love for you, to the gift of strength and grace …. You have the highest when you have My word and should desire nothing more apart from it. For with My word you also receive the promises that I will take care of your physical and spiritual well-being. And since My word is truth, don’t worry about what your body needs but only about what is helpful for your soul. And be satisfied with My word, which is truly the most precious thing My love can offer you on earth. If you have My word you will also not lack the strength to master your earthly life, for then you will have Me Myself, and thus you must nevertheless be powerful and be able to successfully overcome the battle of life. Let nothing take away your faith and confidence that My word is the only source of strength from which you may draw daily and hourly and which will never leave you unfortified. For if you accept My word then you accept Me Myself, and where I am there can no longer be spiritual or earthly adversity, even though you seem to be in the latter. Let Me be with you in the word and your life will only be a constant upward development; earthly adversity, however, will no longer affect you, for then you will hold your body in low esteem if the soul is united with Me. You have a sure proof of My love for you in your hands, and My love is truly the most delicious thing you can attain …. it takes hold of you and never leaves you until you are completely united with Me and can leave earth. It won’t be long now and earthly life will be over …. But the time before that is a time of struggle which you have to endure. But if I am with you in the word it shall not frighten you but only make you courageous, for I have assured you of My help and will not abandon you. And no matter how much you are surrounded by threatening dangers, as long as you receive My word you also know that I Myself am with you and that you need not fear anything which appears threatening to you. But you must not desire anything else either in order not to fall prey to the power of the one who tries to approach you by awakening your desires for earthly pleasures and earthly possessions. Disregard everything that still belongs to earth and only strive towards Me with all your senses, with all your love …. shape yourselves into love so that I can completely take abode in you, listen within so that you hear Me, and accept My word as a pledge of My love which applies to you forever and will also lead you through all dangers of body and soul …. For My word is truth, and My word promises eternal life to all who faithfully receive it into their heart and live accordingly. Rest and refresh yourselves with what My love offers you and ask for nothing else if you have My word and can build yourselves up on it ….

Amen

To push people’s thinking into a different direction against their will would be completely useless for their souls. They must make an effort to change out of their innermost impulse, only then will a change of thinking also take place, and only then is the truth to be conveyed to them so that they can examine it themselves, i.e. take a stand on it and, with a serious will, also recognize it as truth. It is a wrong assumption that a person’s intellect cannot join the pure truth and that the person therefore cannot be held responsible because he is endowed by God with the gift of intellect which makes it impossible for him to accept the truth …. As soon as the human being uses this gift correctly, that is, as soon as he makes use of it in order to come close to the eternal divine, he will also have the ability to distinguish between good and evil with his intellectual thinking, and as soon as he now affirms good and denies evil he will also affirm pure truth because it is from God, just as he will deny error and lies as the work of God’s adversary. And the recognition of truth as such and of error is also to be regarded as affirmation and denial …. The human being who wants the good will also intellectually recognize as good that which has its origin in God. But if his will resists a serious examination or if he is prejudiced against spiritual knowledge imparted to him, then his feeling for good and evil is still poorly developed and he will also resist accepting the truth. He also does not stimulate his intellectual thinking because he does not seriously take a stand but rejects it because he does not want to accept it. And then he cannot be instructed or changed in his rejection …. his will turns against it, and this decides. He is not yet mature for truth, otherwise he would desire it and hold on to it if it is offered to him. For the desiring one also recognizes it for what it is. The one who desires the truth also desires God at the same time, no matter how he imagines the eternal deity. He recognizes it and turns to it through his desire, for God and truth are one. But anyone who denies God also denies the truth, anyone who does not seek God also does not seek the truth, and thus he will never penetrate spiritual knowledge because it does not exist for him. There is a knowledge which eclipses all earthly knowledge, even if it cannot be proven, for knowledge is everything that gives enlightenment, be it in an earthly or spiritual sense. Earthly knowledge is enlightenment about earthly questions, spiritual knowledge is enlightenment about questions which touch the spiritual realm, only that the former can be proven, whereas there is no proof for the latter as long as the human being stays on earth.

(16.10.1944) Nevertheless, it is a knowledge, a wealth of thought, which must be valued higher than earthly knowledge …. spiritual knowledge is gained just as much as earthly knowledge, because intellectual activity must first have set in before thought material conveyed from within or from outside becomes the human being’s property, because thinking about it is an essential part of the latter. Before it has not become conviction, it cannot be called knowledge. But then it makes the human being happy because it enlightens, because it pulls away the veil from things that were previously hidden from the human being. And a person can then call himself knowledgeable when he has solved questions and the result fully satisfies him, but only when he has found the result with the assistance of the divine spirit …. invoking God for enlightenment and right thinking. For even the wrong thinker can be convinced of the truth of that which was imparted to him in error. But if he has not called upon the eternal deity for enlightenment of his thinking, then he also never has the guarantee of standing in right knowledge, i.e. in truth. For God alone is the giver of truth, because He Himself is the truth …. God does not depart from His conditions under which He dispenses the truth …. But the first condition is the recognition of Himself. Anyone who does not recognize God, anyone who denies Him, cannot think correctly because he is under the spell of the one who opposes the truth. And until he turns to the giver of truth in prayer so that He will guide him into the right knowledge, his thinking will remain wrong and produce results which completely contradict the truth. And it will not be right with him, for God’s adversary likewise fights with sharp weapons since he strives to suppress the truth and to completely blind people’s thinking. And he will succeed where faith in God is lacking, where a being Which is loving, wise and omnipotent is not acknowledged, for God’s adversary has great power over these people ….

Amen

‘Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained ….’ These, too, are Words of Mine which were frequently interpreted differently than I had intended them. Only a person with an awakened spirit who hears My voice and conveys My explanation to you is able to correct this, so that you can liberate yourselves from error and know the truth …. My disciples were endowed with the power of working miracles in My name, of healing, of reviving the dead and thereby proving to people the strength of their undivided belief in Me. Their spiritual state allowed for all supernatural activity, for when My spirit poured into them it filled them with strength and light, with power and wisdom. Hence they were able to spread the truth because they knew it themselves, and by the mere voicing of words they were able to achieve things which exceeded all human ability. For they had been My disciples …. I had instructed them through the inner Word while I lived on earth, they lived in love and believed in Me, therefore they were also able to accept My spirit within themselves and work through it. These extraordinary acts were signs of their souls’ maturity which, in turn, were intended to prove to people what extraordinary abilities a person can achieve if he lives according to My will, that is, if he shapes himself after My image …. into love …. For love is strength, consequently, a person who loves is also permeated by strength and light, because he can be permeated by the spirit of God, His emanation of strength. And I exemplified to people a life of love …. I demonstrated to them how much strength the human being can attain and after My death I left living examples behind which were meant to proclaim My teaching of love again to demonstrate their strength and thus make it easier for people to believe in Me …. Even if I was no longer visible, I Myself was in the midst of My disciples in spirit …. I guided them, since everything that is permeated by My spirit is subject to My divine guidance …. because I Myself was subsequently able to take effect through those who were working in My name. Hence the disciples had the same power and the same right, because everything they accomplished was My will; they were enlightened by My spirit, which is the emanation of Myself. Consequently, they also had the power to forgive sins in My name, especially if illness was the result of sins and, in order to cure this illness, they had to remit the human being’s sins as well. However, if they recognised a person’s unworthiness, his unbelief and God-opposing will, they were just as entitled to leave him in his sinful state, for they were not governed by human understanding but by the divine spirit within them, My spirit, which knows everything and thus also a person’s unworthiness and the futility of a merciful action on him. Thus I gave My disciples the right to grant to people according to their realisation, because My spirit was active in them and guaranteed that My disciples thought correctly ….

But now people assume the same right even though My spirit is not effective in them as yet …. They associated the right to forgive or retain sins with the person itself and not with the divine spirit in this person and thus conferred this right to all followers of the disciples according to the word and not according to the spirit and therefore misunderstood the meaning of My Word, although they would also think correctly if they realised who is really My disciple …. Not those who appoint themselves but those who I have appointed for their teaching ministry on earth …. For I gave My disciples the instruction ‘Go ye therefore, and teach all nations ….’ But in order to teach, My spirit must be effective in them so that they will be able to distribute the pure truth to people and to spread My commandment of love in the world. Yet the truth can only be taken possession of through the working of the spirit. Therefore, it is imperative that My disciples must be enlightened by the spirit of God before they can count themselves as My disciples. In that case they will also be permeated by light and strength and able to accomplish extraordinary feats , the power of the spirit will enable them to heal the sick, thus to release people from sin and its consequences as soon as they believe in Me and My name …. To these spiritually enlightened people I gave the power of forgiving sins, since they also recognise in their spiritually mature state when a person deserves to have his sins forgiven, for then they will act on My behalf and it is I Who really forgives their sins. But if people feel themselves appointed to carry out the act of forgiveness of sin even though they have never been called by Me Myself, who are neither enlightened by My spirit nor hear My Word within themselves, their calling can rightfully be disputed, since this is already demonstrated by the fact that they are incapable of recognising their fellow human being in order to judge whether to remit his sins or to let him keep them. The assessment of this already presupposes the working of the spirit which, however, has to be denied to most of those who deem themselves called as servants of God as long as they do not possess the inner Word. Only through My Word are they called to work for Me, for only My Word gives them knowledge, that is, it conveys the pure truth to them, and this is absolutely necessary in order to be able to work for Me. Anyone who knows the truth can also pass it on and thereby helps his fellow human being to achieve liberation. Anyone who has My Word will also have the competence of judgment when a person’s will is inclined towards God. For the human being’s spoken word is often deceptive, the heart need not be involved in what is voiced by the mouth. But a true disciple has the gift of recognising his fellow human being and therefore also knows which person is serious about the forgiveness of his sin and does not allow himself to be misled by many words which lack inner conviction. Therefore, the remission of sin cannot be a general act since it can only take place if it was preceded by profound repentance and recognised as such by My disciples. But in that case the judgment of the latter will be valid before Me, for he only acts on My instructions and his deed is according to My will. With those Words I gave My disciples the understanding that their activity and thinking will be in complete concordance with Me if they work for Me in My name, that they cannot think and want anything else but what is My will if the divine spirit is working in them which, however, characterises them as My disciples in the first place. For I Myself appoint My servants on earth because I truly know who is qualified for this ministry and upon whom I can endow those gifts which are required by a teaching ministry on earth …. And to them I will also give the authority, for then they will only carry out My will ….

Amen

I am ready for you at any time …. only a loving or pleading thought is enough for Me to turn to you in order to listen to your needs or to make you equally happy with My love. And therefore you need never ever despair, for if I promise you My help you will not lack it, for My love will never cease. And if you work for Me you will be under My special protection, for you are the executors of My will on earth whom I need because there are only a few of them. And therefore, despite many trials you will cover your course of life safely and successfully because I Myself guide you by the hand and am around you in joy and sorrow, on cheerful and stormy days, and smooth your paths …. For the task I have given you is of such great importance that it has to be carried out for the sake of countless souls which are in danger. And if an earthly child has declared itself willing to fulfil this task it has also become, as it were, untouchable for the adversary who would like to destroy it in order to prevent My working on the erring souls. It certainly still has to struggle with earthly adversities and hardship but nevertheless it is in possession of strength which also masters them, for this strength is now constantly flowing to it from Me and the influx will not stop as long as it stays on earth. For I will no longer leave My children out once their will has freely and uninfluenced striven towards Me, once it has offered itself to work for Me it will also remain My child forever, and My fatherly love will protect it in every adversity and danger. Yet I cannot completely relieve it of earthly suffering for its own sake …. For it always has to stretch out its hands to Me longingly so that its heart will open to receive strength, because this is a process which absolutely requires the human being’s will itself and which can never take place without this will as long as the human being is not yet perfect, thus the emanation of light and strength from Me takes place directly. An uninterrupted working of love would indeed make this direct emanation possible, yet you humans on earth are not yet so permeated by love that you are absorbed in it …. And therefore I still have to educate you to love, I have to let you participate in earthly suffering so that your heart will become capable of love, so that you will become purified. Yet My love will keep you all the more intimate, which you will never ever lose again if you want to serve Me and call for your father as My children. Your call will not go unheard, and every prayer of supplication will give you renewed strength to master earthly life and also to mature spiritually. For the task for which I need you requires maturity of soul and also a firm will towards the world. And you will possess both if you are used to work for Me. For the time of battle is still ahead of you. And I am preparing you for this time …. Therefore you may also believe that you will receive the strength from Me to then be able to carry out your ministry. And you may also constantly be certain of My love which truly guides you in a way that is beneficial for your soul and in accordance with My eternal plan ….

Amen

The certainty that there is life after the death of the body makes it much easier for people to bear earthly suffering, for they then only regard earthly life as a preliminary stage to beatitude, to the actual life in the spiritual kingdom. For them earthly life does not mean the highest, and therefore they do not attach so much importance to adversities and suffering, just as they pay little attention to earthly goods and the pleasures of the world because they know that these are transient. The life of the soul after death is a happy thought for them, and even death itself loses its terror because they do not fear it but only regard it as an entrance into spiritual life. Therefore, a person who believes in the soul’s continued life on earth has an advantage in every respect over those who deny the soul’s continued life. The latter only seek to exploit earthly life in an earthly sense, and they only strive to live long and well on this earth, since they consider themselves to have passed away with the death of their body. But the human being can only gain the convinced belief in the soul’s continued existence through his own reflection, it cannot be conveyed to him by fellow human beings, instead, the human being can only be stimulated to think, and he must come to the conclusion of his own accord that God’s creations must be enduring, otherwise the creator would have delivered a defective work. Yet everything the human being looks at is again a work of creation in a more perfect form than already existing works of creation, thus a constant upward development can be observed in it, which understandably cannot stop with the human being but continues in the spiritual kingdom. Yet this cannot be proven to the human being if he does not accept his own feelings as proof, which more joyfully affirm the thought of a continuation of life after death than the thought of a complete end with the conclusion of earthly life ….

So the human being must believe what cannot be proven to him …. and yet he can still have the inner conviction of it which now also allows him to live consciously without doubt. For a person with faith in survival after death will arrange his earthly life completely differently than a person without faith in it, because he sees higher spiritual development as the purpose of earthly life, because he recognizes a state of spiritual maturity as the aim, which is the prerequisite for a blissful life after death. He now pays more attention to his soul, whereas the human being without this faith only seeks to maintain physical life and only pursues earthly aims. He is touched by everything that concerns the body, be it joy or suffering, because he does not find the compensation for it in his soul life. Emotionally and mentally he is indeed also in spheres which lie outside of the earthly, yet he is not aware of the fact that this is a search of the soul for which earthly aims alone are not enough. But the body’s desire will always prevail and fetch the soul back from these spheres, and it will also succeed before the belief in its continued life has awakened and it then resists the body’s desire. The adversity of the coming time will therefore be much easier to bear for people who firmly believe in survival, while others will be seized by despair since they consider their temporal end to have come and the knowledge of it triggers a paralysing horror in them. For faith will always be a source of comfort and strength, faith will never depress but uplift, faith will not be a weakness of will but a strength of will and likewise generate a strong will. Faith is not something human but something divine, although the unbeliever tries to smile disdainfully about it …. He lacks the strength which flows from strong faith. And therefore this faith should be struggled for first, for as soon as the human being believes himself to be immortal he also works for the salvation of his soul and is not satisfied with the successes of earthly life. However, the immortality of his soul can only be made credible to him when he is active in unselfish love …. otherwise selfish love will prevail and this will always reject the belief in a continuation of life after death, because the soul is aware of its inadequate state and therefore rather fears a continuation of life. And therefore love must be preached first again and again so that the human being’s thinking will change and he will come close to the right faith, so that he will only learn to recognize earthly life as a transitional station and consciously strive for perfection in order to be able to enter the life in the beyond in a state which will ensure him eternal life ….

Amen

Everything visible to your eyes testifies to God’s love, it was created to help the fallen substance, to elevate it from its sunken state again, and therefore every work of creation should be seen as an emanation of divine love and be respected and valued accordingly. None of God’s creations may be wilfully destroyed, for then its function, its intended purpose, will be prevented. And neither may human work be destroyed which also has a function …. the function to be helpful. For every work of creation that originated from God’s will was given this function, otherwise it could not result in higher development of the substance. And human creations are also assessed in relation to their function …. As long as they have the task of being useful, as long as they somehow serve other people or even other creations, they contribute towards the development of the substance and fulfil their purpose.

To destroy such creations results in the interruption of the spirit’s progress of development and can never be justified before God …. as in fact all destruction of matter has to be motivated by love to be justifiable before God …. Consequently, if destruction takes place for the purpose of producing objects which are helpful to people, which serve a useful purpose, the destruction is justified for the love of other people. However, any other destruction is sacrilege …. sacrilege against other people and against God, Whose power created things which truly have another purpose than to fall victim to the human will of destruction …. And this sacrilege avenges itself badly ….

When the driving force of hatred and unkindness between people destroys matter then people also have to pay for it …. materially, because they lose things that had fulfilled a useful purpose, as well as spiritually, and the latter in a particularly painful way …. Because spirit has been freed against its will and before its time, and this spirit disturbs all substances in its environment but especially the human being by permanently appearing before his soul’s eyes, that is, by constantly occupying his thoughts with the lost objects. This is extremely harmful to the soul since it inhibits its development. It is held back from spiritual aspiration, its senses are constantly directed towards material things and therefore the creations can quietly torment a human being when they are unavailable to him, when they fall prey to the human will of destruction.

Every work of creation by God, or by a human being who just wants to work constructively, should be respected. The destructive principle denotes the actions of God’s opponent …. And at this moment in time he is raging in the world …. He induces people to God-opposing behaviour against His creations, he has awakened the destructive urge in people because they lack love and no longer understand the meaning and purpose of creation. And this shall result in serious consequences. God will counteract the human work of destruction, which is the influence of the evil power, with a far greater work of destruction but which is entirely warranted in God’ love ….

He shall liberate the spirit which is willing to walk the way of service on earth from endless long captivity …. He shall release the solid matter so that the human destructive will is stopped and human beings learn to see earthly creations for what they are: means for development as long as they can exercise their useful function. This divine destructive action will affect people even far more seriously; however, this is necessary so that they return to the right way of thinking, that they respect and appreciate every work of creation, that they understand its function and once again occupy themselves constructively. Because this and only this is divine order: that everything in existence shall progress and that every human work of creation shall also be a guarantee for the development of spirit as long as it fulfils its useful purpose, as long as the human will to be of help has produced it ….

Amen

The human being’s innermost being must be permeated with love if it wants to enter into a close connection with Me which will earn it extraordinary strength …. He must give extraordinarily in order to be able to receive extraordinarily. This willingness to give must be an inner urge, without any external influence, without compulsion and without the thought of repayment. Love for one’s fellow human being must drive him to give of himself, be it in an earthly or spiritual way. For the fellow human being whose essence has not yet become pure love is always in need of reception. Only when he has love will he lack nothing, for then he will be exceedingly well provided for by Me. But as long as he is still unable to receive My emanation of love and strength directly he has to be helped by his fellow human beings, and this is true neighbourly love, that the human being hands out what earthly or spiritual possessions he has himself, that he gives what he receives from Me in abundance in order to help those who can only be given meagrely due to their own fault. And the more the human being gives out the more he will receive from Me, for he noticeably draws Me to himself through his active neighbourly love and thus enters into the most intimate bond with Me, which earns him strength and grace to a great extent, because My love permeates him as well as I am near him …. But likewise, what keeps away from Me will be powerless …. Anyone who does not kindle love in himself cannot expect love either, anyone who does not want to give himself cannot receive anything, and his life will be powerless and lightless …. And because he himself does not help his fellow human being he will not be helped in this spiritual adversity either. Admittedly, My love constantly approaches these people in the form of My word, so that again and again he is reminded of the necessity and blessing of the activity of love, that again and again My commandments are presented to him in order to motivate him to be lovingly active. Yet he has to accomplish the change to love himself, he has to ignite the spark within himself since no-one else can do this for him, yet the smallest act of neighbourly love already brings him blessings, it will make him happy and stimulate him into further activity of love. The only path to Me is love …. Only in love can a person draw close to Me, and only through love does he draw Me to himself, only through love does he follow Me, and through love alone can he become perfect …. But anyone who is permeated by love for Me can only progress in his development because My strength and love will never leave him. He has, as it were, wrapped an unbreakable bond around Me which can no longer loosen, for love becomes more and more dense; he absorbs My spiritual substance into himself, i.e. his spirit unites with Me, he joins Me in order to never ever detach himself from Me again …. And only love can achieve this …. Love is the most delicious thing that can touch a person’s heart, because it is My emanation and everything that comes forth from Me has to make everything happy. But whether the human being feels happiness depends on his ability to love, on his will for good. For as soon as he carries this will within himself the spark of love is also ignited in him, as soon as he has the will to do good he is urged from within to do good, thus to give love, and he establishes contact with the original source of love …. he receives because he is willing to give away …. And thus he has united himself with Me through his good will. But every human being can muster the will to do good, yet he must muster it without coercion or influence …. He can only be guided, i.e. pointed to the divine through My word …. And then he can act according to his free will …. And therefore love cannot be allocated to a person but he has to kindle it in his heart himself, yet the strength goes to him according to his will. But without love no human being can enter into union with Me and therefore no one can become blessed without love either ….

Amen

How erroneous people’s thinking is can be seen from the fact that they lack the blissful tranquillity of the knower who constantly draws strength from the right knowledge which corresponds to truth. And as long as this tranquillity does not dominate a person’s nature he does not yet live in truth, i.e. in the right knowledge of them, for he can certainly also have intellectually received the truth within himself but nevertheless need not live in knowledge if it has not yet become mental property, thus he has received it with heart and intellect. Pure truth must also bring people inner peace, for pure truth is a gift from God which He bestows upon the person who is worthy of such a gift. And divine gift will always make happy. Humanity, however, is in a state of disruption, restlessness, searching, trepidation and constant uncertainty; it is plagued by doubts and willingly rejects what it previously thought to be truth. But it would hold fast to the pure truth and defend it with tenacity and steadfastness. But it does not yet possess the pure truth …. otherwise the great suffering would not pass over the earth either …. For truth guarantees right thinking, and right thinking does not result in such chaos as the earth is in at present. Wherever truth is proclaimed there is a haven of peace, and anyone who accepts the truth can likewise enter this haven of peace. For even if the greatest restlessness prevails around him and the greatest discord rages, the bearers of truth will be little affected by it because the truth itself already protects them from falling into a restless state. Truth bearers are connected to God and the world can no longer take away the inner peace that radiates from God into their hearts. It can only outwardly oppress the body but no longer seriously endanger the soul, and this security of the soul also radiates to the whole person so that he stands safely and calmly in the midst of the storm of the world …. For truth has strength within itself once it touches the human being’s heart and is accepted by the human being’s will. This power must overcome all opposing forces because it is stronger than them. Only when the human being stands in truth, in recognition, does his aim stand tangibly before him, and then he strives unswervingly towards this aim and can no longer be shaken in his security and tranquillity. He is indeed still physically exposed to the hardships of life but even these no longer seem so immense that they make him timid as soon as he takes refuge in the eternal truth, in the word of God, the truth which has become form, for the strength of the divine word noticeably flows through him and restores his inner calm. But where there is error, there will also be a constant state of perplexity, the greater and more oppressive the deeper the human being stands in error …. But the world at present represents an immense amount of error and is alarmingly far from the truth. Truth, however, is light, error is darkness; and where there is darkness there will also be confusion, chaos, which is earthly and spiritually threatening, for divine order will no longer be observed because darkness no longer allows it to be recognized. Therefore, where there is error there will also be wrong actions, for erroneous teachings result in erroneous thinking and this in turn causes actions which contradict divine order. And the fact that the world’s thinking is completely wrong is evident from its actions which represent a single work of destruction, which are directed against the divine will of creation, which cause utmost harm to fellow human beings and thus completely contradict the divine commandment of love …. Such deeds can only give birth to a wrong will, a wrong thinking, which again only emerged from the error which is spread in the world as truth. Where error is, there is also unkindness, for where love is taught and also practiced, there is truth, because God Himself, Who is the eternal truth, is also where love is. For truth and love are inseparable …. And therefore erroneous thinking can inevitably be concluded where unkindness spreads, and erroneous thinking is the result of erroneous teachings …. And this is why truth shall prevail against error, this is why God Himself sends bearers of truth amongst people to impart it to them so that they will find their way out of the chaotic state, so that they will become acquainted with the blissful inner peace which only truth can bring them, which has an effect both spiritually as well as earthly, for earthly conditions will also visibly improve once truth has taken hold amongst humanity and love has also found its way in with it. Then there will be light and peace and tranquillity, because with truth and love God Himself is close to people and light and strength constantly emanates from Him and the human soul finds peace in realization, in the right knowledge which makes it unspeakably happy ….

Amen

My fatherly love embraces all of you who see your father in Me. And I will also reveal Myself to you, yet always according to your maturity, your nature and your will; and each one of you will be allowed to feel Me differently, yet it is always I Who noticeably approaches you as soon as you seek Me with the love of your heart. But the latter is decisive …. I don’t pay attention to words or external actions, I don’t adhere to customs and traditions but I consider My children in My way as they tolerate it, i.e. as it is beneficial for their souls. And even if I consider one person differently than another, My working should not be called into question, you should not let yourselves be afflicted by doubts but always remember that I alone know the hearts but that I have also given each one different tasks for earthly life and that this difference of tasks also comes to light in the work for the kingdom of God. And every labourer for My vineyard will be employed where he can work most successfully, and his work will be according to his field of work. And there are many soils, many fields, which lie outside the area which is easily accessible to people …. outside the congregations that call themselves My church and are considered My church before the world. And these fields have to be cultivated differently again and therefore also require servants who understand the nature of the soil and diligently go to work to make it fertile. And I will give them other tools but they will be familiar with their use …. But I also have to make Myself known to them as lord, and I do it in such a way that they will recognize Me very well, whereas they would let Me go unrecognized if I wanted to visit them in the garment in which I am recognizable to the ecclesiastical congregations. I do not look at the outward appearance of My children but only into their heart, and to this heart I reveal Myself …. And every heart will recognize Me which is active in loving activity. But love can be practiced everywhere, consequently I can also reveal Myself everywhere and don’t need a special circle of people and therefore no special kind either. Every heart can feel Me, and only the deeper it loves the more noticeably. And according to your task I consider you …. Anyone who sets himself a task on his own before I have called him also sets limits for himself, for he will never outgrow his tasks, he will never try to achieve greater things and therefore cannot expect any extraordinary expressions of grace on My part either. However, anyone who leaves everything to Me, including the nature of his activity for My kingdom, will also be guided by Me such that My guidance will visibly become apparent to him, and I will reveal Myself to him as required by the task he has been given …. I teach the servant to cultivate the soil, to prepare the field for the seed, for the sowing, which I Myself will then let those servants plant in the field, so that it will grow and flourish and bear good fruit …. For My fields are many and hard to work, and I bless every hand that willingly gives itself to this work ….

Amen

The way you should be active will be made known to you as soon as your mission begins, and then don’t hesitate to follow the inner voice, the voice of the heart, which will urge you to speak and act in this or that way. For you are guided by divine will, and you need only devote yourselves to it with complete faith, then your will will also strive towards the same, you will act according to your will and yet carry out God’s will. Then you will only be God’s instruments and able to administer your office on earth. For God places you in the place where you can work most successfully. And everyone who wants to be of service to Him will be used according to his ability, and he shall now work as his heart dictates. But everything should serve the spreading of the divine word …. The more people take notice of the pure word of God, which guides His love Itself to earth, the sooner they will penetrate the truth and the safer they can be rescued from their spiritual adversity. Without the word of God, however, they cannot penetrate the truth and the adversity on earth cannot come to an end. Spreading the word of God is your most important task which, however, you can carry out in all situations of life, at all times and in all places, for if you are unable to do so with words you can teach it by example, i.e. you can inspire your fellow human beings to imitate you through an unselfish life of love and thus demonstrate the teaching of love to them in deed and likewise achieve success; for as soon as the human being practices love his thinking will also become bright and come close to the truth. The word of God in its purity only teaches love, and it points out the consequences of a life of love as well as a life without any love …. All further knowledge is then the consequence of this required life of love. And therefore your task for the time being is to live in love yourselves in order to also prove to your fellow human beings the blessing of a life of love …. the knowledge of pure truth …. You will only be able to fulfil your mission if you make the divine commandments your own guideline for your way of life. For His servants must also live out His word, otherwise they are unfit to spread it, otherwise they merely pass it on as spoken word without any strength. For the power of the spirit does not animate this word, and thus it cannot bring it to life either. And thus the success of God’s servants will always depend on the teacher’s ability and willingness to love, and thus the task will also be assigned to him according to his willingness to love as soon as his mission begins. And therefore work on yourselves, make yourselves capable of being eager servants of the lord, live in love so that you will also be able to teach such, so that you yourselves will receive knowledge as a result of love which you can now impart to your fellow human beings, and strive for strong faith so that you can prove the strength of faith to your fellow human beings. Be active, strive towards the spiritual kingdom, so that this kingdom will also appear worth striving for to your fellow human beings, so that they will leave the world and turn to the spiritual kingdom, so that you will be successful in your work for the lord. And leave it up to Him what He wants to use you for, leave it up to Him what work He assigns to you, for He truly knows best where He can place you so that you will be successfully active. For every willing servant will be joyfully accepted, because they are all needed for the work of the soul, which will only begin on a large scale after God has obviously made Himself known, after He has spoken to people through nature …. Only then will the important work for His kingdom begin, and then you will have to be eager, for the time you still have until the end is short …. And therefore God calls His servants everywhere, and He prepares them …. He loosens tongues, He makes hearts communicative, He enlightens the thinking of those who are devoted to Him, and He guides people to each other who need strength and reinforcement so that they can draw it from His word, which is directly conveyed from Him to earth, which He has blessed with His strength and which therefore will be a source of strength, refreshment and revitalization in the coming adversity. And anyone who hears this word and faithfully receives it into his heart will be strong, remain faithful to God and also victoriously overcome the last battle, the battle against faith ….

Amen

Hear the divine spirit: In every way God is intent on helping people to the salvation of their souls, and everything that happens, that He Himself does or allows, is a means to this end. And therefore everything from God’s hand must be gratefully accepted, even if the body feels it as suffering, because it is helpful for the soul. And this thought should also determine your prayer, you should only pray for the well-being of your soul and leave the well-being of your body to God’s will, because His love and wisdom only remember your soul and the soul’s eternal life is the aim and purpose of everything that comes upon you. Therefore you should pray that God will protect your soul from every danger and hand your body over to Him completely; you should leave it up to Him as He thinks of it and always trust in His love and wisdom, which must be your guarantee that everything God sends upon you is good. This applies to the awakened person who knows the meaning and purpose of suffering and who also recognizes humanity’s spiritual hardship and knows about its consequences for the souls. His pleas and supplications should always be for spiritual well-being, it should be a constant prayer for light in the darkness of time, it should be a struggle for spiritual goods, for firm faith, for realization of truth and for spiritual knowledge, for this alone remedies the spiritual hardship and also the earthly hardship at the same time, because the latter is a consequence of the former. Anyone who is in knowledge should only pray for salvation from spiritual adversity …. nevertheless, he can also place all earthly adversities on the heavenly father’s heart by completely handing himself over to His guidance, by believing that he, as His child, is lovingly sheltered by Him …. His faith in God’s love must be strong, then all earthly worries will disappear, for if a child knows itself to be loved by the father it will no longer fear anything because God’s love will turn away from it if it is beneficial for its soul. The human being must be certain of God’s love …. And he will be so if he himself stands in love. Depending on the degree of his love for God and his neighbour and its activity God’s love fills him and also becomes noticeable to him …. And the loving person will be completely carefree even in earthly adversity …. For he firmly trusts and therefore knows no worry. And this is the strength of divine love which flows through him as soon as he is lovingly active himself. He will no longer believe that he can master anything by his own strength but will completely hand himself over to the father in heaven and thus also place all earthly worries at His feet because he knows that only God can take them away from him, that only God directs his destiny as it is good for him. And thus he trusts that God, in His love, will not burden him with more than is necessary for his soul. And his prayer will be a surrender to divine will, he will not demand but surrender to God’s will and determination …. Nevertheless, the soul can also take refuge in God in great physical adversity and call upon Him for strength and fortitude, for this adversity often comes upon a person in order to motivate him to intimate contact with God if he is in danger of slackening in prayer ….

(24.10.1944) And then God reveals Himself by fulfilling the requests, for the power of prayer is to be proven to people so that the divine promise will be fulfilled: “Ask and it shall be given to you ….” For God takes care of all His children who see their father in Him and express this to Him through faithful prayer. But God knows when His children are in need, He knows their earthly and spiritual shortcomings and considers them accordingly. The supplicant is given, and the sincerity of the prayer also guarantees fulfilment. But the strength of prayer is increased when the fulfilment of every request is entrusted to God’s will, when the human being surrenderingly submits to His will, then he completely entrusts himself to God’s guidance and then everything will be for the salvation of his soul. God’s word says: Ask and it will be given to you …. thus the human being may ask for everything, he may come to the father with earthly and spiritual requests …. he will always be considered according to his faith. But if he is willing to forego the fulfilment of a request, if this corresponds to divine love and wisdom, then he completely submits himself to God’s will. And this will truly only aims at what is best for the human being. For the most part he will also be fulfilled because he has already progressed so far in realization that he no longer has to fear straying into the world, and then God will consider him spiritually and earthly, He will avert every adversity from him, He will make every test easy for him and lovingly guide him on his earthly path, and he need not fear that God will not hear his silent prayer …. For God’s will will then also be his will as soon as he has submitted himself to Him, and God’s will will also guide his thinking right …. he will then only pray for that which is conducive to his spiritual development and never think of his body again, and then God will give him what he needs for soul and body …. For His promise is fulfilled to the letter ….

Amen

Worldly guidance will by no means be able to stop an event which has been determined by divine will since eternity but it will unconsciously contribute to it, i.e. human will is the cause of what God’s will brings to pass, even though human will expected and intended a completely different effect. People plan something contrary to God’s will and God allows it to happen, but to a certain extent directs the effect to the good insofar as the human soul can benefit from it if it does not manifestly oppose God. Earthly, however, the human being must also bear the consequences of God-opposing actions and thoughts so that he will recognize the effects of a wrong will and endeavour to change this wrong will. But what God has ultimately decided can no longer be stopped by the will of men. And even worldly power has to recognize its powerlessness in the face of an event which unfolds without human intervention and testifies to a power which governs everything. Therefore, worldly power can make unhindered decrees but it cannot avert or stop anything by doing so if God’s plan is different …. And God’s plan strives for an upheaval which is spiritually significant but which will also make itself felt earthly. For only by shaking people’s thinking through earthly tribulation and adversity can a spiritual change be achieved. And therefore God takes people’s wrong thinking as the occasion for an event which will erupt in nature …. Destructions and annihilations caused by human will trigger forces in nature that humanity does not expect …. Human will plans a work of destruction on an appalling scale, and divine will lets it take effect on an inconceivable scale by commanding the spirits of nature to rebel against the human will of destruction, which is now active with such force that the earth shakes and countless people lose their lives. And human will is unable to put a stop to it, human intervention is unsuccessful and the earthly powerful recognizes his powerlessness towards the creator of heaven and earth. Yet he does not acknowledge Him, he rebels against the power which is stronger than him and thereby places himself completely under satan’s control, to whom he was already in bondage before. And satan now uses him to openly fight against God …. And this is the prelude to the coming battle of faith, which is inevitable, in which God will confront His adversary …. in which those who are faithful to God will fight against the children of satan and, under the leadership of Jesus Christ, will also gain the victory …. It is the last battle that the adversary will wage on this earth, for it will end with his capture. As soon as he has abused his power in such a way that he tries to force people into a way of thinking which is completely contrary to God, his power is played out, for the action against God Himself cannot result in anything other than his renewed bondage, otherwise creation would no longer be able to fulfil its purpose, because then the spiritual being which has reached the last stage of development would be deprived of every possibility to make the final decision, to finally release itself from the form. For this last decision is a matter of free will, which can turn upwards or also downwards, but for this it must also necessarily have the knowledge of both poles towards which it can strive …. But this knowledge is withheld from him by satan’s activity, so that all knowledge about God, about Jesus Christ, His teaching of love and His act of salvation is undermined and satan makes use of people who carry his God-opposing will within themselves. For this is a danger for everything spiritual which inevitably has to be turned away by taking all power away from God’s adversary and by a time of spiritual peace and brightest light replacing the time of battle between light and darkness. For God’s power is greater and His will rules heaven and earth …. And even if people on earth believe themselves powerful because they do not want to acknowledge a higher power …. they will only ever be the henchmen of the highest power with their measures and decrees, working in the opposite will but nevertheless being used for the work which God Himself has intended since eternity. For all powers must serve Him, good and bad; voluntarily and involuntarily these services are rendered because they are all subject to His will. And thus world events will also take their course in accordance with divine will, even though human will completely opposes God and carries out works which are the work of satan. And God does not prevent them from doing so, yet they unintentionally participate in the execution of the plan which has been determined since eternity. They themselves hasten the judgment which will befall them, which means an end for this earth and all people living on it as well as every creature, except for the small flock of God-fearing fighters whom the lord Himself will fetch home before the end has come ….

Amen

The extent of humanity’s guilt increases daily, and all people are to be called guilty who carry out or approve of actions which deny them any love for their neighbour. Where hatred and unkindness break through people sin, for they offend against divine order, they offend against the commandments of love for God and their neighbour. And thus they increase their guilt with every action that is bad; and even he is guilty who does not detest such an action but consents to it. But people don’t consider the consequences, nevertheless they have to take them upon themselves on earth or in the beyond, and since the guilt increases immeasurably it can neither be redeemed on earth nor in the beyond, for earthly time is too short and in the beyond an ascent development can only proceed from a certain degree onwards, and people no longer reach this degree who make themselves guilty to the extent that they commit new unkindnesses daily and hourly. And therefore they have to remain on this earth, they cannot enter the spiritual kingdom after their death but their death will only mean a change of their external form, their souls will receive other coverings and continue to move on earth only in a completely unfree state. For through their excessive guilt they have forfeited all freedom, and they fall into an agonizing captivity from which they cannot free themselves. Yet the magnitude of their guilt requires atonement, and since they would have to languish and suffer for eternities in the spiritual kingdom if they wanted to be released from their great guilt, it is God’s act of mercy that He creates another possibility to atone for this guilt and at the same time strive towards freedom again, even if the soul is granted renewed freedom of will after an infinitely long time. But in a state of compulsion it is nevertheless induced to activity which at the same time signifies higher development, whereas in the beyond, in the spiritual kingdom, the beingness lacks all strength and the will to activity is also completely paralyzed through its own fault. Thus even the seemingly most cruel work of the divine creator is a work of love on the fallen spiritual, which has increased its former guilt many times over through God-opposing actions, which it carries out on earth in free will. And as long as people don’t repent and change to love they heap guilt upon guilt upon themselves, and the consequences are frightening, for they inevitably draw God’s punitive judgment upon themselves and deprive themselves of all freedom …. For they must atone according to divine justice, they must take all the consequences upon themselves …. they have to walk the path once again through the whole of creation until they are given free will once again in order to be able to use it for the final release from the form ….

Amen

God informs you of his instructions through your heart …. As soon as you feel prompted to do something, as soon as you are driven to it from within, you will always be instructed by the voice of God, providing you are making an effort to live according to God’s will, that you thus strive towards Him and entrust yourselves to His guidance. Then you will be directed by His will such that you have the same will within yourselves because you have consciously submitted yourselves to His will; only then may you comply with the prompting of your heart and your actions will be right and in accordance with God’s will. Yet you must seriously scrutinise yourselves as to which power you give the right to guide you …. Heartfelt prayer protects you from the opposing power; however, whatever you do without having requested God’s blessing, whatever you do purely to improve your body’s well-being, whatever those of you do who are completely apart from God are not His instructions but His adversary’s, and they will damage the soul. The person striving towards God need never be afraid of thinking and behaving wrongly, because his attitude towards God also allows him to be accessed by spiritual forces and entitles them to protectively walk by the person’s side, thereby also averting the influences of evil forces. Only the desire for God guarantees divine protection for a person, and anyone being divinely guarded cannot go astray, he can only do what benefits his soul. He is guided by God Himself and every path taken by him is important and leads to the goal.

Although the person acts according to his own discretion, in as much as his will impels him to undertake this or that action, it is nevertheless God’s will which manifests itself through his will as long as the person gives in to the inner prompting. If, however, he pays no attention to this urging then he resists it, he becomes undecided since his will has not yet entirely submitted itself to God’s will. And this is what he has to beware of, for it is always the result of praying less often …. The more intimately he is in contact with God the more clearly he will see his delineated path and the more willingly he will follow the instructions revealed to him by God through his heart. Only the distance from God deprives him of the keen sense for the divine will, for in that case he has to rely on himself and will be unsure as to what he should or should not do. And God’s adversary makes use of such situations by tuning into a person’s thoughts, by trying to impel him to base his every action on his own advantage. And then the person will have to fight, he will have to struggle in order to restore his connection with God again which will gain him clarity of thought so that he will be able to resist the temptations. Anyone looking for God will not go wrong; however, the path of anyone excluding Him will lead him astray. This is why nothing should be undertaken without a prayer for God’s blessing, then people’s thinking will be guided correctly and every activity shall incorporate God’s will ….

Amen

In the spiritual kingdom souls on the same spiritual level unite in order to work together using the strength flowing to them from God. This connection is extremely blissful because complete harmony is the basis and all souls, who are recipients of light and strength, also have deepest love inherent in them, which they transfer to each other. It is a constant giving and handing out that is blissful, it is an uninterrupted working of love on the souls that are in need of help and need light and strength. The union of like-minded and equally mature beings provides them with increased strength by means of which they are able to accomplish greater tasks than they could on their own. And their successes are correspondingly great. To a certain extent the light beings’ field of work is expanded, the circle of those who are their work to educate becomes ever larger, and this stimulates them to ever more eager activity, which again results in an increased supply of strength. They are extremely happy beings who form a community in spiritual activity, for love for one another wraps a tight bond around them. But they can only enter into this union in the spiritual sphere which corresponds to their degree of maturity. They are spiritually related souls who often had no contact whatsoever on earth but who surpass all earthly bonds in bliss precisely because of the complete harmony of their will, knowledge and love. This harmony is seldom found on earth, and earthly bonds are mostly physical and lack spiritual harmony. And then one can be a hindrance to the other in his spiritual development, although each can mature again from the resistances and difficulties which arise from the difference of the joined souls. Nevertheless, the same degree of spiritual maturity is rarely recorded in earthly bonds, for this would already be an excessive happiness on earth, thus a state which would no longer be compatible with earthly life, because then people would no longer be able to fulfil their earthly task but could only be spiritually active according to their maturity. Such spiritual activity, however, also requires spiritual strength which would appear supernatural to ignorant and immature fellow human beings and affect their faith and free will, i.e. these spiritually connected people would have extraordinary strength at their disposal which, however, would be incomprehensible to their fellow human beings and make them unfree in their faith. This is why spiritually equally mature people can only unite in the spiritual kingdom, and they must refrain from uniting on earth. Nevertheless, they can work in love next to and for each other and carry out their spiritual activity for their own happiness, for then they will be blessed as labourers in the vineyard of the lord for countless souls whom they help into the light, and they will still mature together until their departure from earth in order to then be able to enter into the union in the spiritual kingdom and then work together as beings of light which are permeated by strength and light and give their spiritual wealth to the souls they want to make happy ….

Amen

No request goes unheard at the ear of the heavenly father, which rises up to Him from the deepest heart. And every thought of God gives strength and grace …. For His love is constantly with those who struggle for inner peace, who want to belong to Him and have to struggle and fight against the challenges of the world. But strength will be sent to them if it is needed …. God has placed love in the human being’s heart, He has made him capable of this feeling, which is no longer earthly but divine if it takes the right direction. Love is the desire for unity, and this desire can be for the still immature spiritual, for matter or other pleasures of the world which pull down, which do not ennoble but degrade the soul, and then it is a wrong love which is to be fought for the soul’s sake. This love is not divine, for a divine love strives for the luminous height, it strives for union with mature spiritual beings, it only seeks to make happy but never earthly possessions. Right love can also apply to all things, but only in the redemptive sense that it wants to help where help is needed. Right love can also awaken from person to person, if the giving, wanting to please principle always prevails, even if the person feels his own happiness in it, because right love must please because it is divine. The desire for union must also characterize right love, only this union can take place physically or also spiritually. A merely physical union can mean a danger for right love if the person is not strong enough and the giving love changes into a demanding one. Spiritual love, on the other hand, is and remains divine and will never be able to pull a person down, for this love is a merging of souls, a union for the increase of spiritual strength …. This love is God-willed, for it promotes the soul, because both desire is directed upwards and they now also travel the path together. Yet physical love must always be sacrificed to this spiritual love, i.e. the desire of the body must be overcome, the human being must only want to give but never want to possess; he must be willing to sacrifice if he can help the other person with it, he must fight a battle with himself so that his love will remain a true, divine love, so that it will remain a purely spiritual one which lifts up to the ascent. Unselfish neighbourly love always demonstrates the right love, and as long as two people’s love for each other consists of unselfish service it is divine and blessed by God …. For He created people for each other, He brought them together so that they should ascend together, and He will bless every covenant which has pure, redeeming, divine love as its basis …. But they must protect this love as the most sacred good, so that it remains pure and divine until the end of life ….

Amen

I will bring My own together so that they will serve Me in spiritual unity and be firm supports for their fellow human beings in the coming time. Great things are at stake, it is about the salvation of the souls languishing in dark spiritual night whose will is not completely turned away from Me. And this salvation requires overriding powers on earth which speak in My name, which are endowed with strength and wisdom, which are so connected to Me that I Myself can work through them. And I am forming such forces in the time which precedes the last battle on earth. It is people who are enabled by their desire for Me to receive the truth, for without the imparting of truth there is no salvation for the souls. Only the imparting of truth can guide them onto the right path, only through truth will they learn to recognize and love Me, and the latter is absolutely necessary in order to bring about a change in their lives. And for this the truth has to be offered to them, and for this I require diligent labourers on earth who receive the truth from Me in the form of My word and pass it on. I Myself instruct My workers as to how they should work, and I supply them with strength where they lack it, again in the way that is most effective for them. For I know everyone’s ability and accordingly place him in the place, in the field of work, where he can serve Me most successfully. It is My will that those who are to work for Me should unite in love, it is My will that every opportunity is used to increase the strength which is beneficial to spiritual work. And it is My will that every bond strives towards the spiritual aim, otherwise it cannot be blessed by Me. I want to be active in My house, i.e., people should fully belong to Me through whom I work, whom My spirit radiates through. And this presupposes that they completely disregard the world, that they in no way strive to gain earthly advantages, that they solely strive towards Me and want to travel the path to Me and with Me together, which will earn them abundant work for My kingdom. For this alone is important in the coming time, that open doors are provided through which I can enter people’s hearts. And everyone should work according to his strength, everyone should try to bind Me to himself through constant activity in love, he should establish the spiritual bond with Me, which is indissoluble, and he should only ever listen to the expression of My will in order to fulfil it joyfully …. And therefore I bring people together who are willing to work for Me, so that they mature together, so that they complement each other and inspire love, so that their strength joins together and they can be beneficially active for Me and My kingdom. The gift of grace which I continue to offer them, My word, shall first make them suitable for their activity, and only when they are completely permeated by My word can the work begin, for the spreading of truth requires that they first stand in truth themselves, that they become knowledgeable in order to be able to spread correct knowledge. And My blessing accompanies all My children, My servants on earth, who want to stand up for Me and My word. But My blessing means increased strength and certain success …. Furthermore, My blessing signifies pleasure in all efforts which are meant for the spreading of My word, and whatever pleases Me will not be in vain either, because My love rests on it and this always signifies strength. And if I bless My servants on earth they will be able to perform their duties without worry, their thoughts and actions will be right, they will travel their earthly path in accordance with My will, for I Myself also direct the earthly course of life in a way which is good and successful for the spiritual development of the individual as well as of the people for whom My servants shall be active on earth …. For whoever has given himself to Me, his destiny is sealed …. I use him as a labourer in My vineyard and never release him, yet he will also no longer want to leave Me and offer his services to Me until the end of his life ….

Amen
