If people would like to imagine that they could solve any problem by utilizing the divine power …. of enlightenment through the holy spirit …. and that they can all put themselves into the state when they want to test the working of the divine spirit. Only the sincere will is necessary, then the human being will fulfil all conditions which result in the illumination of his spirit. And that is why people should not blame God, Who allegedly lets them walk in the darkness of the spirit. It is truly His will to bring light to humanity, yet His efforts are always and constantly resisted and the human being cannot be forcibly placed into a state of spiritual light. On the other hand, however, it is also not possible to regocnize God correctly without inner enlightenment, and thus man can neither be enlightened about His love and omnipotence nor about His activity and reign in the work of creation. And the human being will remain ignorant as long as he does not abandon himself in heartfelt prayer to the power from Whom he himself emanated. But the effect in a spiritual respect is quite dreadful if the human being can no longer pray …. For him the walk on earth is unsuccessful because his own strength is not sufficient for the soul’s higher development and he does not utilize divine strength. Every apparent success in life is therefore the power of the adversary, who uses the person’s attitude, now considers him in turn and completely distorts his thinking …. He will no longer be able to spiritually raise himself to a higher level because he completely lacks the will to do so. His earthly life and its fulfilment will be enough for him, he will only use all received strength in an earthly sense and inwardly feel far superior to knowledgeable people, for the adversary will strengthen his sense of self and not allow the feeling of weakness to arise in him. And it is difficult to preach the gospel to such people …. it is difficult to make them realize their erroneous thinking because, despite the deepest darkness of spirit, they believe themselves to be in the light and arrogantly reject all instruction. Only a violent shattering of the previous thinking can still bring about success and this can only be brought about by extraordinary events which cause him the greatest physical hardship and force him, as it were, to call upon a higher being for help, unless the distance from God is already so great that he can no longer establish this connection through prayer …. He is lost; but he who still appeals to God for help can be relieved of his spiritual and physical distress ….

Amen

Inner reflection must precede every transformation of the being. The human being has to subject himself and his actions to frequent scrutiny, he has to examine all his tasks and criticize to what extent he fulfils the divine requirements. This self-observation will also allow him to regocnize his shortcomings, and if he is serious about his soul’s work, it will spur him on to make himself ever more perfect. Inner contemplation is a certain control that applies to both his thoughts and his actions. If he relentlessly criticizes himself, he will also regocnize his unworthiness to enter into close contact with his creator, and in humble prayer he will ask God for mercy and grace, and thus he will gain new strength to work on himself. For man could never reach perfection on his own, as his strength is too small without God’s help. But this is assured to him, so that God only demands of man that he asks for the favour due to him as a concession that man longs for God. If the human being now often looks at himself and his life in the sense of the soul’s higher development, he will also regocnize the distance between himself and God. He will endeavour to reduce it and, if he lacks the strength to do so, will request it from God. And only in this way will he progress on the path of higher development. Only in this way is it possible to come into ever closer contact with the heavenly father, for he will soon no longer go any way without having asked Him for His blessing and His strength, and he will now truly establish the relationship of child to father, which will then also result in an extraordinary gift of strength. And therefore God demands of you that you always give an account to yourselves of how your life on earth is …. that you do not walk along thoughtlessly and without a sense of responsibility but always bear your soul in mind. He wants you not to forget Him in all your earthly activity, that you always find time to cultivate the spiritual within you …. He wants you not only to think of the body but also to give the soul an hour of leisure which belongs to the shaping of your soul …. an hour of leisure which brings you into contact with your lord and saviour, in which you gather treasures for eternity. He wants you then to seriously consider with yourselves whose welfare is more important to you, the welfare of the body or the welfare of the soul. And if you still think too eagerly of the body, you should ask for strength to be able to live and mould yourselves according to divine will. And the hour of inner contemplation will be beneficial for the salvation of your soul, for you will receive strength for new endeavours ….

Amen

Purely spiritual food is the nourishment of the soul, which can only be offered to you from above. It is a favour from God, which man cannot measure, for He gives man something undeserved, as it were. He gives him loving means for the soul’s higher development, He makes everything available to him through which the human being can attain perfection. He pours out divine grace upon the earthly child in the most abundant measure in order to make the path upwards passable for him, and thus He instructs people. And this instruction is the bread of heaven, spiritual nourishment for the soul. Man also needs nourishment to maintain his body, and this is always and constantly imparted to him through God’s goodness. But the nourishment the soul needs is of a different kind. The soul can only be considered spiritually because it is the union of spiritual potencies, which are therefore of spiritual origin. These soul potencies must now be supplied with something which is supernatural, which is taken from the spiritual kingdom and can only be perceived by the soul with the spiritual eye. And so the soul is now fed with a nourishment that contributes to the increase of the spiritual, the soul is spiritualized as it were, which was previously turned towards the earthly. For if the soul is only given earthly sustenance it starves and suffers terribly from its meagerness. However, if it is offered spiritual nourishment, its condition is freer …. (interruption)

You must not waver if you are overcome by the weakness of the moment. The lord is always ready to help and He gives you strength and vigour, He gives you courage to fight for Him. Many a resistance will arise and this will make you despondent, but God knows about every anxious stirring of the heart and He intervenes when the time has come. For His will governs everything and He takes special care of the person who submits to His will. And to him He announces His will, His spirit fills him, and His word flows to him and imparts power to him for increased work for the greatest spirit of heaven and earth. And it is your task that you announce His will to the whole world, God wants to speak to the world through you; He wants His power and wisdom to be mentioned; He wants people’s thoughts to turn to Him so that He can now directly influence them. You, who are bearers of the divine word, do not allow yourselves to be put off by the doubts or objections of those who are followers of the world. Every step you take is marked out for you and every word you speak is put into your mouth. And if you want to serve the lord joyfully, every word will also be successful and therefore blessed. The little light shall be kindled in the hearts of those still walking in darkness, and so let your light shine so that the light attracts people and they themselves now desire to stand in the light. And if you carry out your ministry with love and patience you will be successful, and he who previously rejected everything spiritual will become thoughtful, he will regocnize an extraordinary strength and longingly turn towards it, and it will now also flow to him if he sincerely desires it …. And so the work of all those who want to serve is necessary in order to control the greatest spiritual need. Every soul is grateful if a rescuing hand is stretched out to it, and thus you should prove your love for your neighbour by coming to his aid since he urgently needs help. His will is too weak, so you have to use your will and be active …. And if you ask for the blessing to do so you will not fight in vain, God Himself will stand by your side and, guided by Him, everything you start will be right ….

Amen

If the state of the soul is so low that it no longer regocnizes God’s love, then this is proof that it was given terribly little and was offered nothing to strengthen it, which it needed. The human being has an unbelievable lack of understanding for everything spiritual, he remains unimpressed because all his thinking only applies to earthly life. The soul, however, is not regocnized and therefore not considered. The human being’s whole feeling revolves around purely earthly goals, thus the soul is forced to serve the body, in that all thinking, feeling and willing is only allowed to apply to its preservation and it suffers unspeakably because this is of little benefit to it. The inner peace, the awareness of being of divine origin …. the desire for union with God, which would make the soul so unspeakably happy, is completely lacking, it is like a enslaved servant and only ever has to do what the body demands, and the actual goal …. union with God moves ever further away. For since the body completely claims it for itself, it becomes more and more worldly and loses all connection with God and that is its downfall and its ruin ….

Amen

Do not challenge divine justice. The lord of heaven and earth is infinitely long-suffering, patient and merciful. He sees the behaviour of His earthly children, and it does not meet with His approval at all, and yet He still gives them time to change, for His love for His creatures is boundless. However, His sense of justice is just as strong. He cannot give eternal life to those who live against His will. He must do justice to all His creatures. And time and again He tries to guide them onto the right path, time and again He postpones the time of judgement …. He uses every good human impulse to show people the error of their way of life, and His love is constantly expressed towards those who do not regocnize Him. He also tries to awaken in them an understanding for spiritual life, He tries to help them in the most natural way in order to restore their faith, He sends His messengers to them so that they shall stimulate their thoughts into activity, and this in a spiritual sense, so that they take care of their souls. Yet even His patience will come to an end one day and His justice will now have to express itself. For He will not allow Him to be mocked and His gifts to be disregarded from above. He then has to deal harshly with people who want to deny His existence, He has to prove to them that He is …. For He cannot allow humanity to reject all His love and completely exclude Him from life. People are greatly mistaken and yet they do not consider that they lack the power of knowledge …. that they are without discernment in spiritual matters. However, they are not afraid to judge, they criticize God’s transmissions, they believe that they have to suffer unjustly and therefore adopt an attitude towards the eternal deity which they are not entitled to. And God still looks down on erring people with love and kindness. But the hour will come when divine wrath will be revealed. The hour will come when all arrogance will be shaken, when the arm of God will be all too clearly recognizable and people who still blaspheme Him today will be seized with horror. And there are an incredible number of them …. They all rejected the saving hand, so they must feel the punishing hand, and good for those who now regocnize the hand of God and bow to His wrath …. God cannot leave unpunished those who go against Him. His love and goodness are indeed infinite, but so is His righteousness, and this causes Him to make Himself evident and to destroy everything that has rejected His love ….

Amen

The heart’s readiness for the divine word is so easy to establish if the human being remains in heartfelt prayer to the heavenly father and asks for His blessing. The slightest distraction from outside will put the otherwise willing earthly child into a state of inattention, but if his thoughts want to detach themselves, all that is needed is a heartfelt call to the father and his spirit will be strengthened so that he can unite with the father-spirit …. And thus the strength will flow to him unhindered.

The human being bears witness to divine activity if he tries to convey to his fellow human beings what he has received and thus speaks in the name of the lord. He can contribute unspeakably much to the glorification of the divine name if he does not shy away from mentioning the work and reign of the eternal deity on every occasion, for the world is without any knowledge of it since it no longer believes anything. And it will come that no one will dare to speak of God and His only begotten son Jesus Christ. The few who still believe will be ostracized and people will try to prevent them from spreading the spiritual wealth. No stone will be left unturned to eradicate the knowledge of divine truths. And no-one will dare to speak out against it, for they shy away from the violence of the powerful. And yet at this time we must work particularly diligently so that the teaching of Christ may be spread in secret. Whoever openly confesses the name of the lord will truly be of great merit before the father, for he will fight for the souls of his fellow human beings and also suffer for them if the father in heaven wills it. And now the formal will be separated from the living representative of Christ’s teaching. For that which is form will not stand up to these decrees, and thus all form will be sacrificed, it will be easy to separate from it, and all that will remain is a building without substance and without inwardness. But whoever truly lives in Christ, his time has come, he joyfully joins the ranks of Christ’s fighters. His spirit is free, so he does not fear the body’s banishment; he speaks for Christ, because Christ Himself speaks through him; he is no longer timid, because he regocnizes God and the truth, so he does not fear the world and its rulers. And a great power emanates from him, which is felt by all who are of the same spirit. They will unite and form a coalition, and they will no longer suffer in a worldly way but will always see a commandment in the most eager work of the soul which they must fulfil, even if they are threatened with earthly punishments. And now many a seed will sprout, for humanity does not like the spiritless time, it becomes tired of worldly goings-on and is deprived of the word which testifies to God …. And so it seeks it and will receive it through the mouth of those whom the lord has taught and sent out into the midst of these starving people. And the word will ignite, it will immensely stimulate people whose desire for God is the reason that God comes to them in the word. And the battle for supremacy will break out …. The spiritual world will now fight against the disinherited. It will be commanded and forbidden, commanded by worldly power to obey its laws and forbidden everything God-willing and God-emphasizing. Two opponents are now fighting …. again the darkness fights against the light, but the light will shine and penetrate the darkness, and he will be blinded who in presumption tries to extinguish the light. And this is the spiritual turning point which will be experienced by those who regocnize the spiritual adversity of the present time and stand up for the spiritual well-being of their fellow human beings. For these are welcome to the lord as fighters. He is assembling His army and preparing it for battle …. they will fight with the sword of their mouth, for the lord blesses them and gives them strength and vigour to fight for His name ….

Amen

Choose the path that leads you towards your eternal home. It is admittedly narrow and arduous and you will have to muster all your strength in order not to slip onto the wide path, which certainly offers pleasures and comforts but leads you towards a different goal. And even if the path is narrow and full of hardship, a companion is always at your side Who gives you strength, supports you and guides you safely through all the dangers of life if only you call upon Him and desire His help. The wide, practicable path constantly offers comforts and relief of all kinds, and therefore it is travelled by those who want to avoid hardship and plagues and make their earthly life pleasant. But this path will never lead to the heights. The man who walks on the broad path will always and constantly cling to the earth and be in the greatest danger of ending up in the depths. The pleasures of life will occupy his whole mind, his thoughts and feelings will become shallow and he will find favour in the most earthly worthless trinkets, he will indulge in the desires of the body and be devoted to vices with all his senses. And such a way of life can never lead upwards, but must end in ruin. All the strength that God gives to man to preserve his life is wasted on completely useless endeavours, the soul envelops itself in an ever denser shell instead of dissolving it and freeing itself from the chains that bind it to earth. And this can only mean decline for the human soul but not lead to higher development, whereas the narrow path certainly leads upwards, albeit over thorns or seemingly insurmountable undergrowth. For at the end of the path the soul regocnizes the one Who is its fulfilment …. He sends His light towards it so that it does not walk in darkness but regocnizes all dangers and knows how to avoid them. He gives her strength and fortification through His figure of light, He stretches out His hands to the struggling one and supports him when he threatens to sink down. But at the end of the path the soul awaits the well-deserved rest, and this is unimaginably marvellous, that no effort and adversity of the path was too great compared to that glory, while the wanderer has already enjoyed his joys and recreations on the broad earthly path and comes away empty-handed when he has reached the goal. For he has striven for a different goal, he has never thought of the end of the path but has snatched all comforts from earthly life and now has to live in extreme hardship, for the renunciations, which are now his lot, affect him far more painfully as he greedily remembers his earthly life and can no longer fulfil his vices and desires. For he has not utilized earthly life for the good of his soul, he has not been able to overcome himself to make small sacrifices but has enjoyed it to the full. And the fulfilment of earthly life means agonizing renunciations in the afterlife, which cannot be ended arbitrarily ….

Amen

It is always up to the human being to take an affirmative or negative stance on the question of Jesus’ divinity, but the consequences of his attitude will be equally contradictory …. greatest spiritual success or deepest darkness, i.e. complete spiritual failure. This question alone is decisive for the spiritual state of the human being when he concludes his earthly life. If he affirms Jesus’ divinity then he has also lived his life consciously, i.e. he has knowingly accepted the strength and grace of the work of redemption, which is, however, impossible if he rejects this question. Only God can give power and only the person who regocnizes God can receive it. Through His death on the cross, however, the divine saviour has earned the human being the right to enter into direct contact with God Himself and thus to be able to ask for and receive strength without measure. And this power promotes higher spiritual development …. The utilization of the work of grace and redemption is also the guarantee for the attainment of spiritual maturity. However, it must understandably remain at a low spiritual level who lays no claim to these graces, who denies the work of redemption as well as the divine saviour Himself, for he lacks strength …. His will is still bound by the adversary and his power over him is so great that he cannot become free through his own strength, but he rejects the only help and does not even regocnize that there is a helper …. So he still stands where people stood before the lord’s descent, he is completely enslaved to the adversary and his will is too weakened to turn to God. And even if he had the will, the adversary’s power over him is still unbroken and his struggle would therefore be in vain. Thus faith in the divine saviour is first necessary and the will to affirmatively accept His work of redemption. Only then will he receive the strength that enables him to work on himself and his soul. Self-refinement can be tackled countless times, without faith in Jesus Christ as the son of God and saviour of the world the human being will always fall back into his weaknesses and faults, for he lacks the support which helps him to pull against the enemy …. Who has, as it were, redeemed his soul from the power of the adversary with His blood, thus removing it from his influence. A willing person who is turned towards God, who lives in God and therefore regocnizes God Himself in Jesus Christ, has his further path through life so marked out that he can no longer go astray. He reaches the heights safely because the adversary can no longer place any obstacles in his way. His power is broken by the love of the lord, Who sacrificed Himself for people so that the path upwards became easier for them and they —people— are able to shape themselves such that they leave earthly life as true children of the father in heaven and can now be redemptively active in the beyond ….

Amen

Everything that has its origin in God is destined for eternal life. For God is life, light and truth, so that which has come forth from Him must likewise live if it stands in the light and in the truth. For to live means to be active, and only the knowing human being can be active in accordance with God’s will. Activity in eternal life requires the deepest knowledge of everything that exists in God’s work of creation. The being must have penetrated divine wisdom, it must master and regocnize everything; it must have the same knowledge in order to be able to create the same. Lack of knowledge is an obstacle to the fulfilment of the task assigned to it as a being of light. Countless beings emerged from a power that strived towards God …. all these beings have to be guided into the favourable form, they have to go countless ways in countless changes, always directed and guided by divine will, which is again carried out by beings of light serving God, and all these beings of light have to be in knowledge in order to be able to comply with divine will. The active will of the individual being only comes into its own in its embodiment as a human being. This will does not always strive towards that which earns it eternal life. Hence this will, too, has to be directed again by perfect beings who know about the course through all works of creation and can now influence the human being accordingly so that he uses his will in a way that guarantees eternal life. It is a battle for such beings standing in higher development, which however can only be waged successfully because the being of light is in knowledge and knows exactly the stage as man as well as the preliminary stages and is now accordingly his influence on the will of man. Everything that lives on earth is subject to the constant care of these beings of light, every work of creation is entrusted to the beings of light insofar as they constantly influence the spiritual in it by causing it to be active …. to serve and thus constantly drive the being to develop higher. The will of the being of light is, since it is perfect after all, also the will of God, and therefore every work of creation is under the influence of divine will. Everything in creation has to carry out the activity that corresponds to God’s will because the driving force is nothing other than divine will. Only in existence as man can his free will be directed against divine will and therefore also destroy a process of higher development lasting thousands of years when he abuses free will and now no longer serves but wants to rule again in a sense (will?)opposite to God. Then the being does not prove itself to be able to enter the beyond as a likewise creating being, for it has not utilized the last stage to penetrate the knowledge of divine truths. Its state is lightless and can therefore never lead to an activity that requires light, i.e. knowledge, to the highest degree. The being on earth did not strive for perfection and consequently cannot work in accordance with divine will. The being also remains without light in the beyond until it desires light itself and can now make up for what it missed on earth in the beyond, but for which it now requires utmost strength, which now has to be imparted to it by beings standing in the light. This is likewise an activity of these beings of light which requires profound knowledge of divine wisdom, since the beings of light now appear as teachers and have to know everything in order to be able to proclaim everything. The tasks of the beings in the beyond are so varied and they are all based on profound knowledge of God and His reign and activity in supreme perfection …. Only the knowledge of this enables a being to carry out what is its ultimate destiny ….

Amen

The omnipotence of the most high is doubted by humanity’s behaviour and therefore the lord God will have to express Himself so that people will regocnize Him again and learn to fear Him, whereas they should actually love Him. But in order to regocnize Him people have to believe in Him, and this belief shall be awakened through the visible manifestations of His strength and His might. People who do not regocnize His loving hand should feel His punishing hand and now, in their distress, remember a supreme being and ask Him for mercy. And thus He appears visibly in the clouds of heaven, i.e., He is close to earth …. He floats down to earth like a cloud …. And He gives dew and rain to the earth …. He opens the fountain of truth, He waters the thirsty earth with His word, so that strength and refreshment may come to those who remember Him, so that they may be strong when He visibly manifests Himself. He will come in the clouds of heaven …. Mankind does not believe in it because it does not regocnize Him, it is blind and unwilling to believe, it does not pay attention to the signs, it rejects everything that could lead to the recognition of the truth. And if the lord now wants to express His power, the necessity for this is also given, for where a power is not regocnized it has to express itself in its strength, and this is imminent. People no longer hear the voice of their lord, they only pay attention to the voice of the world, and so faith in the world, in earthly power, has to be shaken first. An event must occur where earthly power fails completely, where people regocnize the impotence of those whom they have feared and obeyed until now. They must regocnize that this power cannot bring about the slightest change or improvement in their situation and now, in their distress, turn their thoughts to a power which is above all earthly …. therefore now strive for the connection with this power through prayer. Mankind’s thinking is misguided and therefore something has to happen which causes people to think differently, they are as it were pushed into different thinking where God, i.e. a power above all, is the centre, and this is no longer possible other than through violent indications, through natural events of unimaginable impact …. People will face unexpected difficulties, they will realize with horror that earthly help is impossible …. that they are in a situation where antidotes are ineffective, they are at the mercy of the elements and have to surrender, i.e. to expect their physical end or to call upon divine help, to call upon God in fervent prayer, thus to acknowledge a power above themselves Which can still bring salvation to the human being from this adversity. Only then will the spell be broken, only then will it be possible for God’s strength to express itself and flow towards the human being, either securing his earthly life or allowing him to pass from earthly life into the beyond in full realization, which is tantamount to awakening to life. Earthly life is not the highest fulfilment, but only a means to an end. However, once the end has been achieved on earth, life can be surrendered without hesitation, for then entry into the beyond is only the moment of release from all earthly hardship. And even if people’s hardship seems unbearable, it is the last opportunity for people to reflect on their actual purpose in life. It is the last means of recognizing the omnipotence of God and the worthlessness of earthly goods ….

Amen

Through the ether wave, the world will receive news of an almost unbelievable process that surpasses all imagination. Man will lose all estimation, one piece of news will surpass the other in its monstrosity, it will be as if hell is on earth and satan is in the midst of men. And for a little while it will seem as if the end of the world has come and the lord is destroying everything that lives there. And that is the time when even his own threaten to waver, and the lord has mercy on them and gives events a different turn. He equips those with special strength who want to serve God in love and instructs them to subdue the elements that threaten them, and for them the event will be bearable. They will draw strength from the divine word, they will be led to realize that this intervention by God is necessary for the salvation of their fellow human beings. And for their part they will muster all their strength and will to help their suffering brothers and sisters on earth, and the lord will bless this endeavour. He gives His servants great strength, for it is His power that is to be proclaimed. It is His will which is carried out, and it will now become obvious that it is God’s voice which sounds from above, and that no-one can escape this voice, that everyone will hear it even if he does not regocnize God’s word or believes himself to be knowledgeable. And no outward appearances are observed or striven for, for in such adversity the human being begins to regocnize the greatness of the one Who lets everything come upon the earth. Man becomes small and the greatness of God grows to infinity. The lord will increase the flock of those who want to serve Him, for He obviously reveals Himself, and those whose state of maturity allows the lord to appear and visibly express Himself will rejoice and exult, for they know that only what is written will be fulfilled. But now they also know that they are without danger if they believe, and since they believe they cheer their lord and saviour …. For now the hour has come when the lord will prove His power and greatness to the world. And the time is no longer far away of which the lord has made mention on earth, the time of the spiritual turning point …. the time of Christ’s return ….

Amen

Write down the following: The words, given from above, must be gratefully received and pondered in the heart in order to now also work as power. What has been written down should now have an effect …. It should stimulate people’s thoughts and determine them to live according to the word. And now the effect of the divine word will also be felt by ennobling people, educating them to love and causing them to strive for God, for light and truth. Receiving the word of God alone is not enough, man must now put everything into practice, and that requires strength, which he must ask for. Thus prayer is always necessary in order to be able to obey the divine word, for man’s strength is inadequate but will be increased immeasurably if it is requested. Man’s will to serve God and to prepare himself to receive God’s word is sufficient to be honoured with this grace. But now also the whole will must be mustered to make the received spiritual property, i.e., heart and intellect must be active to let the offered work in oneself, and at the same time the will must be strong to fulfil God’s will, which is announced to men. What God gives must therefore also be utilized so that the blessing of it can become visible. And there are so many endless possibilities to allow the divine word to take effect in you …. the prerequisite is always the will to comply with what God demands. And depending on how this will is put into practice, the person will also feel the blessing and the strength as an increased will to serve God, increased power of knowledge and joyful service to the neighbour who needs his help. Only then is the word of God consciously received when it has become spiritual property and is obeyed. Knowledge alone without action is not enough. God wants His gift to be received with a deeply grateful heart and not carelessly put aside. Mankind, however, hears the word but lets it pass by unheeded …. And so it also lacks the power to regocnize the divine. Consequently, the power of the divine word cannot become effective either and therefore it will not be possible to prove to humanity the truth of what God conveys to people as a promise. However, the believing person who lives according to the word of God will fully experience the blessings of it in himself ….

Amen

People are still caught up in terrible error; they do not regocnize the rod of discipline that is being waved over them. They are blinded and have no right judgement of the demon that rules them. And this is the cunning of the evil one, to cloak himself in the appearance of righteousness. This is his weapon, which is effective with those who are themselves without falsehood. For their minds do not believe in such a game of intrigue by the adversary, and they therefore seek to invalidate all evidence. And it will still take some serious evidence to make these deluded people see. The world only sees the worldly successes but does not consider how unspeakably poor in spiritual successes people are at present; it does not consider what dreadful consequences such a disenchanted time conjures up. And since they lack realization, they do nothing to get out of this bleak situation. They live without thinking of their end, they rejoice in every earthly success and try to attribute it to extraordinary ability. However, if they wanted to regocnize the desolate spiritual state, they would never approve of it but try to remedy it. But their strength is too weak, they have to wrestle with themselves in order to arrive at a clear judgement. Human clues are not enough unless God Himself speaks to them in many different ways …. Only then will it become clearer in them, and full of horror they will turn away from the one who has slowly confused their senses, who himself uses all of a person’s good impulses for himself and his advantage. The spiritual experience is only that which makes life on earth worth living; for only then does the human being truly enjoy life, whereas beforehand the human being hungers for spiritual redemption, but this can only take place if he rejects the world and does not allow himself to be beguiled by mammon or other earthly dazzle. First the teachings from God have to be conveyed to people, only then will they begin to look at all world events around them with different eyes, and only then will it be possible for them to form a sound judgement and learn to despise what they have worshipped so far, to try to detach themselves from its influence and to turn to the lord in faithful prayer for deliverance from evil power. Only then will people’s spiritual state become higher and the danger of humanity’s complete downfall be averted, for now the divine power will work again since it is requested and therefore also granted for the sake of the soul’s salvation.

Amen

It is unspeakably wrong to want to pay attention to the transmissions from above only insofar as that only the extraordinary of their origin is taken into consideration, but a deep immersion is out of the question …. The word of God is then ineffective, again only earthly problems are touched upon and only information about such is demanded, but the actual meaning of the divine mission is not grasped. Very few people are willing to decide in favour of God and give up the earthly and therefore only a few will be able to feel the power of the divine word in themselves, as they can only be imparted something which they themselves desire deeply. And they, in turn, can only desire the strength from God when God’s love has become understandable to them through the word of God and they now desire to be united with this love. But as long as the programmes from above do not make this divine love visible to people, they will not trigger the desire for God either, thus the strength from God will not be consciously requested. But people, who only ever pay attention to earthly events, also only try to find a solution to earthly problems in such extraordinary evidence of divine love, but they do not touch spiritual problems and thus no strength can flow to the spirit either, which, however, is supposed to be the actual purpose of the proclamations from above. It therefore always remains a purely worldly matter for such people, and the extraordinary is soon no longer extraordinary to them; they take note of it but draw no particular conclusions from it. And so this gift of grace has also remained without any particular effect on their thinking because the desire for God has not awakened in them and earthly life is still all too much in the foreground of their thinking. An extraordinary source of strength is now available to such people, but it is left unutilized. God Himself offers them all His love by coming to them and visibly making Himself known, yet people walk past it with their eyes and ears closed and leave the most delicious thing offered to them untouched. And so God can always want to give people proof of His love, power and wisdom, they are ignored or only looked at and judged purely earthly, but divine strength is not desired and therefore not received either. And thus people deprive themselves of a means which should help them to develop their soul higher because they do not think of their soul but only ever have their physical well-being in mind and therefore disregard what only benefits the soul. They pass by a gift of grace and continue their earthly path in ignorance where, with good will, the richest knowledge would be imparted to them, which they cannot receive without their own desire ….

Amen

Anyone who submits himself to the divine will need not fear that he will not fulfil divine requirements. For he has already given up his former resistance, he has entrusted himself to the Power Which created him and will now also be lovingly cared for by that Power, so that a relapse need no longer be feared, for divine will shall be transferred to such an earthly child and it will now think, act and want in accordance with this divine will. The desire to find God’s approval for everything he does now, protects him from sin …. because sin is everything that goes against God’s will …. Sin is everything that the adversary puts into a person. But a person, who consciously surrenders his will to God, has escaped the adversary’s influence, and will only ever do what is pleasing to God. And therefore, the surrender of a person’s own will is his first task. If he returns his will to his divine Creator, if he voluntarily places himself under His spell, that is, if he puts the divine will before all his actions and thoughts, then he must absolutely carry out what is of God’s will. He can now never act on his own authority but expects God’s guidance, and thus constantly subordinates himself to His will. The human being will now feel this in his heart, he will feel urged to do and refrain from doing anything, and if he now gives in to this urge of the heart he will always fulfil divine will, he will walk his earthly path clearly and determinedly, he will not be anxious and despondent but always resolutely and courageously carry out everything his heart dictates to him. And this voice of the heart is the divine voice. The human being, who longs for God, will also always surrender his own will, because he no longer exalts himself but in all humility recognises his distance from God, and now desires nothing more than to reduce this distance, and now wants to do everything that corresponds to divine will. And if the human being wants what God wants, he becomes free. He now inevitably has to take the right path, for God Himself shows it to him, and he will not oppose it. And now, divine grace can come to him, he will recognise God’s love in everything and want to gain this love, show himself worthy of it and make an effort to live in a way that is pleasing to God. For he wants to get to God, and this will also earns him the Heavenly Father’s love and grace, and His constant care for the soul’s higher development ….

Amen

The act of liberation from matter means an indescribable relief for the being, for it is now in no way hindered and no longer restricted in time and space. Although it must now remain within the boundaries of the sphere which is now its abode in accordance with its state of maturity, it can work in it at will, it is subject to no constraint, and will only ever live by his urge for activity, which is extraordinarily virtous. There are no inhibitions or oppressive moments that could burden the being, but everything around it is light and clear and free. The state of such a being is therefore extremely blissful, for everything that could impair the feeling of happiness is far removed from it, it has been transported into the realm of former times, it only touches the being in memory and does not cloud the light-filled state in the slightest. The unspeakable suffering that the imperfect beings still have to bear triggers only the most heartfelt love in the beings of light, and the urge to help them, but it is no longer perceived as suffering.

To be released from matter is therefore a complete liberation from suffering and all torment that a still imperfect, bound being must bear. Therefore, the act of liberation is immensely blissful for the being. It is, as it were, the step out of the realm of the imperfect into the realm of the perfect. They are two worlds that are completely separate from each other and yet are closely connected, because all the inhabitants of one world should one day belong to the other world, and because the only endeavour of the former should be to leave it and join the inhabitants of the other world. For only this second world offers the glories of God, only a completely liberated being can behold them in all their splendour, and only a perfected being is able to absorb the infinite beauties within itself …. whereas everything that is bound is incapable of beholding such glories, for matter which still surrounds it, obscures the power of realisation and the spiritual vision. Through its covering, the soul is incapable of recognising what is happiness-inducing to such an extent, that such happiness can only be endured by a being which has become free. Accordingly, an imperfect being cannot gain insight into God’s splendours unjustifiably, for it would never be able to grasp and feel whether it would also be placed into the midst of these splendours …. nor would it be able to endure the abundance of light and consequently would have to perish in it ….

Amen

Ray of enlightenment ….

A moment of light can bring enlightenment to a person and change his previous views, and then it is a very special grace from the Lord, Who will channel His strength in all its fullness into an earthly child who longs for truth in order to shorten their path through anxious questions and doubts. And this presupposes a deep love for God, the person must be worthy of this grace and have proven this through their way of life, even if it was based on erroneous thinking. Man’s innermost urge can be for the good, he can always do what is right and yet not stand in the truth, but his will is good and turned towards God, and so divine love takes hold of him and sends him a ray of inner enlightenment. And suddenly he can see, his spirit has awakened and shows him in a clear light what was previously incomprehensible. And with a grateful heart he accepts the divine grace, for he recognises it as such, he is aware of the enormous grace and praises the Lord without ceasing. For he also knows the danger from which he has escaped. The light has ignited like a flash of lightning, and his love for God is inflamed. To have found the core of truth is indeed the most beautiful gift of grace, for standing in the light of truth means to be connected with God, since God Himself is the Truth. And to have found God makes the heart of the one who has sought God beat faster. The probability of a complete devotion to God is obvious, however, God does not always demand complete separation from earthly duties, but the human being can now fulfil his earthly task all the more eagerly, yet inwardly closely united with God he can eagerly pursue the spiritual goal, and be extraordinarily efficient in both areas. And thus divine grace visibly works in such a person, his spirit becomes free and strives upwards, and on earth he continues to fulfil his duty. Yet such a way of life, which is led in the realisation of divine wisdom, is delicious …. indescribably blissful and successful, for he is also able to speak convincingly and impart his knowledge to his fellow human beings. Only now does he live his life consciously in the grace of God and recognises his Eternal Creator and His will, which he now strives to fulfil ….

Amen

The teachers in the beyond always try to help you in the same way and seek to make you more receptive, yet your heart is not always willing to receive, creating obstacles which make the reception more difficult. Undivided attention has to be paid to the gifts of heaven and all earthly thoughts avoided, then the thoughts of the friends in the beyond will find easier access. Divine love sends messengers to you who shall reinforce your willingness to receive. They bring you a revelation that describes in an understandable way the sequence of the catastrophes which shall decide the life and death of each individual person.

Only few people take notice of the signs of the coming time. They are indeed surprised about obvious changes or irregularities in nature but nevertheless dismiss it carelessly. They don’t recognise therein an expression of God’s will but merely put it down as a coincidence. And thus, to begin with they do not pay any attention to these manifestations when the natural event approaches. People will first be made aware of the advancing tempest by whirlwinds. This will happen so suddenly that men and animals will find themselves in great difficulty for they will barely be able to manage against the violent storm, and this will be the start ….

Every now and then violent earth tremors will be felt and the sky will grow dark, a thunderous roar will be heard which will be so dreadful that it sends people and animals alike into panic so that they try to save themselves by escaping. Yet the darkness will stop them and as their distress becomes intense, the roaring grows ever louder, and the earthly tremors ever more violent, the earth will open up and huge masses of water will break through from within the earth. And as far as the eye can see …. water and darkness and an indescribable chaos amongst people who realise their horrendous situation with utmost distress. The days before will be so glorious that people are to some extent light-hearted and the change will come so suddenly that no one can take earthly precautions, which will be entirely pointless anyway for no earthly power can defend against these elements. Only the devout person will feel the divine omnipotence now …. and entrusts himself to his Creator …. And although his heart will tremble and know fear when he sees the raging of the elements he will nevertheless wait patiently until help arrives, for he will continue to send his thoughts up to Him above.

Anyone who has grasped the meaning and purpose of life knows that now the time of decision has come for every individual person. And he will try to administer spiritual help wherever possible, he will comfort those who are miserable and refer them to God, he will help by kindling a small light in utter darkness …. For God will give them the opportunity to work for Him …. Those who have recognised Him and offer themselves to be of service to Him will be assigned a rich field of activity, and the seed will fall on good ground, for God spares those who look up to Him or find Him in greatest adversity ….

Amen

Pure Word of God ….

United endeavours will succeed in making the Christian teaching accessible to people again in all purity, for the Lord pours out His spirit everywhere and enlightens those who want to serve Him. And thus they will be knowing and be aware of how to distinguish between what corresponds to the truth and what human teachings have been added to Christ’s teachings. And as willing people place themselves at God’s service they will also be called upon to fulfil a task of which they themselves are sometimes not yet fully aware. They are appointed as mediators of the divine Word and are now to enlighten people who have been caught up in error, who have accepted erroneous teachings as truth, and whose path upwards has therefore been made more difficult. No human being will want to close their mind to a convincing explanation of God’s will, but very often people do not strive for the pure truth, and the reference to God’s love and omnipotence is in vain, if the human being does not have the will to be enlightened about God and His working. The desire for God and the search is the prerequisite that He allows Himself to be found, and that He makes Himself known through words of love. But if the human will remains completely untouched, it will also be completely indifferent to the fact that Christ’s teaching requires purification, and it will neither recognise the purpose nor the cause of divine proclamations; indeed, it will only laugh derisively at people’s credulity. And his own train of thought will go completely astray. But the pure teaching will spread, and this all the more surely as the divine Word, which is pure and unadulterated, comes from above. ‘My word will not pass away forever ….’ God speaks from His Word, from what was originally given by God, and He revitalises this Word with His power. So it will work where it is believed and accepted as a gift from heaven. The teaching of Christ has been indisputably distorted by people and therefore could not possibly work in its present form, consequently the teaching must become again what it originally was, and this is what the Lord aims to achieve through the re-proclamation of His teaching, for only this pure teaching can bring about the success that man becomes noble and good, that he consciously unites himself with God and draws the highest benefit from this union. God Himself gives the Word to His children, He establishes the connection and communicates Himself through the Word to those who love Him …. Yet where there is human error God has to avoid people, for His purity cannot be where the spirit of falsehood is active. But everything that is purely human work is a lie, for the human being errs as long as they do not unite with God in order to receive the pure truth from Himself. And therefore it is necessary that people recognise the value of these proclamations, that they recognise the meaning and purpose of earthly life, and that they are now offered a means in order to shape earthly life meaningfully and purposefully, and to shape themselves in accordance with God’s will ….

Amen

Innumerable beings emerged from the power of the one who strives against God. The power, however, is from God, for the adversary, too, is the recipient of divine power. He claimed the right to create according to his will because he was endowed by God with all gifts, that is, he was created by God Himself as a perfect being. And he used all these gifts, which were inherent to a perfect being, to fall away from God, he used all his abilities in a way that was contrary to God’s will. The will of God would indeed suffice to destroy everything created by this power, but this is not His will. What is of Him shall remain for all eternity and become again what it originally was …. A working force in the divine will …. The adversary of God is granted a period of time for his activity in which he can unfold all his power; and he utilises this period in the most extensive way. He tries to destroy everything that is divine, that is already beginning to walk on the path to the light. He exerts his influence wherever he finds only the slightest favour, he works with cunning and trickery to get these beings, which want to escape from him, under his power again; he does not shy away from any violent strike if it only leads to the aim of turning away, what has emerged from him, from the eternal Deity. For he does not shy away from openly taking a stand against God by endeavouring to take everything away from his beings …. the belief in a God, in a Power Which rules everything and Who is in control of everything that exists …. Thus he consciously works against God …. and therefore fights with a means which was not granted to him by God. For the beings should know about the eternal Deity and decide in favour of or against It of their own free will. However, if the knowledge of the eternal Deity is withheld from them, they have no other path of decision than the path to him, God’s adversary. And this is what the adversary strives for, thus he fights with a means that is completely opposed to God’s will, so that God’s righteousness must prevent the adversary from realising his plan. For the adversary now transgresses the limits of his power, he unlawfully interferes with divine laws and arrogates to himself a right to which he is never entitled. In his arrogance, he believes that he can supplant God and become master over all creations. And God allows him great freedom, after all, He does not even touch the adversary’s free will, although it would be easy for God to destroy him. But He prevents that the beings are completely without knowledge about the highest God-being, because this would lead to complete apostasy from God. Thus the beings have to recognise an all-dominant power anew, they have to realise the powerlessness of the One Who wants to be their Lord …., thus they have to be given the choice again to decide in favour of one or the other power. They must know about both powers in order to be able to decide. However, they must not be deprived of the knowledge of the greatest power, as it is now the adversary’s will, in order to be able to gain the final victory. And so the adversary’s arrogance will earn him a powerful counterattack. A counteraction will be undertaken by God, which will greatly hinder him in his endeavour. Countless beings will recognise the eternal Deity and want to strive towards It, and they will also receive the strength to free themselves from a force which wanted to achieve the final apostasy from God …. The adversary himself will be bound, his power will be taken from him, that is, restricted, so that he will no longer be able to work to the same extent as before, since he misused the strength flowing to him and acquired a power which was not granted to him from God …. The fact that he openly presumes to fight against God Himself is the reason for God’s intervention, which is now becoming visible to the whole world, Who wants to avert the dreadful danger of a complete apostasy from God, of the beings which emerged from Him and His power ….

Amen

It is irrelevant for the human soul which path it has to travel on earth, for every path is suitable to shape the soul in accordance with God’s will, and it will only depend on the proportion in which the means of grace are utilised. Every human being has the right to utilise these means of grace, yet not every human being makes use of the divine offer. And it truly has no influence on the soul’s higher development whether the human being is in an easy or difficult battle of earthly life …. only his attitude towards God is important. And he can find the right attitude towards God in every situation in life, for this is not dependent on external circumstances. All human thinking is influenced by external or inner experiences …. If the human being pays attention to all experiences, his thinking will also be stimulated and he will be influenced by knowing beings, so that he can become knowledgeable himself and his thoughts will increasingly strive towards the Eternal. And this will be recognisable in a certain faith, which can be considerably stronger in people who live in meagre circumstances than in those who enjoy a certain earthly prosperity. Prosperity need not be an obstacle for them, but earthly poverty can very often bring spiritual successes that signify everlasting good. It is wisely arranged by God that in every situation in life a person will encounter opposition, the suffering imposed on every person can more or less ennoble the being ….

(Interruption)

Become as little children so that you will be able to enter into My kingdom. Trustingly hand yourselves over to your Father in Heaven and let Him take care, and His love will make your path across earth easier. This is why the admonition goes out to all of you to bear Me in mind wherever you go, for only if you call upon Me can I help you such that you will recognise My help and only then can I remove your worries. The path you had to travel was long and, with your life on earth, it shall now come to an end. If you want to be totally united with Me at the end of the path you must already yearn for My presence before the end, you must long for the Father like children, you must desire My nearness with all your heart and it must be your innermost requirement to communicate with Me in spirit and in truth. Never believe that I Am out of reach for even one of My earthly children, you must always and in all places be aware of My loving care with solid trust and therefore come to Me with every request so that I can grant you My Fatherly love and guard and care for you like underaged babes. For you are in truth My children whom I long for; I yearn for your return into the Father’s house, I do not let anything fall which comes from Me and bears My spirit within itself. I live and suffer with you, and I long for your release. And if you thus bring Me your heart, you will entitle Me to take the shackle off you, for you will be offering your will to Me and that will signify release from the control of the one who is to blame for your apostasy from Me. And the moment of liberation from his power is the moment of unity with Me, for I draw every child to My heart which voluntarily detaches itself from this power …. which longs for Me and acknowledges Me as its God and Father …. so that it will forever remain close to Me. A murmuring is going around the world, My love is seeking to attract all beings, it knows the willing earthly children and draws them to itself …. For I instruct My messengers to impart strength to those of good will, and this flow of strength enlivens them; in a manner of speaking, it releases the earthbound beings and enables them to hear the gentle voice which is the expression of My love for them and which sounds wherever the heart wants to perceive the voice and thus wants to let itself be permeated by My love. I continuously consider My Own, I will not let this spring run dry as long as they desire it, I will never ever disappoint My earthly children’s faithful trust by leaving them without assistance if they require it and call upon Me for help. And anyone who desires My love will feel it in his heart, for I will be with Him and work in him and through him …. For this is My gift, that I permeate those with strength who wholeheartedly turn to Me …. so that they will already feel the bliss of unity with Me in earthly life and strive for nothing else but the fulfilment of their most ardent yearning of being forever united with Me ….

Amen

Receptivity ….

From the abundance of thoughts, that thought always rises to the surface, which adapts itself to the human being’s will …. that is, it is the will itself which determines the path the human being’s thinking takes. The human brain is full of impressions; they all try to penetrate the human being’s consciousness, yet the will decides in favour of a certain thought, and this is then either developed further or rejected, depending on whether the human spirit enters into contact with the spirit of God, providing spiritual results are striven for. This is by no means to be understood in such a way that the human being could only have such thoughts as he strives for as a mere human being. Now, the spirit from God can also be active by also letting the outside impressions have an effect on man, so that each of the received thoughts can be of importance, provided man strives for spiritual knowledge and therefore desires enlightenment. Whereas with an earthly minded person only the thinking apparatus as such comes into function, thus the answers to the question asked are irrelevant, since they do not serve the person’s spiritual advancement. Every question can therefore be asked spiritually and thus also answered spiritually, just as the same question can also find a purely earthly answer. And thus, the source from which wisdom can be imparted to the human being is inexhaustible, for the spirit from God will always and constantly distribute such wisdom, for divine wisdom is unlimited. It only depends on how far the human soul has shaped itself in order to be able to receive what is imparted to it by the spirit. It must have brought itself into a state that it feels the finest vibrations of the spirit, and hears the faintest sound of the heart’s voice within itself. The spirit from God always wants to give and instruct, but the receiving devices are not always as carefully adjusted that they hear the faintest vibrations. The human being must willingly close his ear to the world, he must not give room to any earthly thought within himself, he must not allow anything foreign to enter as a disturbance, but he must only pay attention to the impulses within himself which are spiritually conditioned, that is, which the spirit within the human being wants to impart to the soul. Initially, this voice in the human heart is not easy to understand and requires the greatest attention, and the elimination of all earthly thoughts. Yet it is extremely easy for the human being to effortlessly receive spiritual messages, if he endeavours to exclude all earthly thinking and only desires to be taught by the divine spirit. The world with all its attachments disturbs the inner connection with the pure-spiritual givers of divine truth, thus the reception will always be difficult or even completely prevented as long as earthly problems still affect the human being, and these cannot be completely eliminated at the time when the imparting of spiritual knowledge is to take place. It is of particular importance that all stimuli of the world have to be avoided, if the soul is to be spiritually encouraged and the human being is to increase his knowledge of spiritual truths, for every earthly distraction is a hindrance, because it renders the human being’s soul incapable of hearing the spiritual voice, and divine wisdom cannot be conveyed to the human being by other means such that it can be received without doubt. And therefore, the separation from the world must have taken place completely, if the earthly child wants to gain insight into the miracles of divine creation, which otherwise remain withheld from him according to the Lord’s wise counsel ….

Amen

The unscrupulous actions and activities of those who do not recognise God will have great consequences. Their endeavour is to completely separate themselves from what has previously determined all their thoughts and actions. They do not recognise the laws that are based on faith in God, in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world. They create their own law, and everything that serves as a means to an end is good …. regardless of whether it corresponds to the commandment of Christian love for one’s neighbour. And so, the commandment of love is eliminated and, under the guise of unselfishness, decisions are made that have serious consequences, namely to the extent that people lose their connection with God because they begin to doubt His justice. However, God leaves people the free right to determine what is earthly as long as what is God’s is not touched, as long as the divine teaching, which testifies to Him and His omnipotence, love and wisdom, is not attacked such that all faith in God disappears. For faith in God and the resulting trust will help to overcome everything that comes upon the human being as earthly adversity, and such determinations, which indeed have a painful effect on earth, do not yet require God’s countermeasures. But as soon as faith in God is forcibly destroyed, as soon as the teaching of Christ is intended to be eradicated, people’s freedom of will is horribly abused on the one hand and violated on the other, for it is the most serious offence against God to dismiss what He Himself has given to us as untrue and worthless …. and an equally serious offence against fellow human beings to forbid or dictate to them what their own will would still affirm or must deny. And therefore, all those who want to create something worthless and deprive humanity of the truly divine teaching given by Jesus Christ invite judgement upon themselves, for this signifies a spiritual decline of unimaginable proportions. This means chaos in spiritual terms, which irrevocably requires God’s intervention if He does not want to let the people of the present time fall prey to eternal destruction. For the laws (commandments) issued by people go against the divine order, they have a destructive effect, but not a constructive one …. They are not based on faith in God or the fulfilment of His commandments, and therefore do not correspond to the divine will …. and everything that openly opposes God will be destroyed ….

Amen

Love of neighbour ….

It is a time of inner struggle, which the person striving towards God has to live through, so that his will becomes strong and he finally decides in favour of or against God. For nothing can be gained without a fight, and what can be achieved effortlessly is of little value. But the divine gift …. of eternal life …. is so infinitely precious that no effort should be too great to promise this possession. Only a few people apply all their will to withstand all adversities of life and still serve God with the greatest devotion, and their perseverance will be a blessing, for at the same time their will and love for God will strengthen …. Whoever wants to reach God by overcoming obstacles will also have his strength increased, and it will soon seem easy to him what he previously thought was insurmountable. Only fighting or serving can lead you to the goal, yet where you willingly serve, the battle will become easy for you or be spared altogether. Yet at times you will become lukewarm in your service, and thus have to fight against adversity and obstacles which you cannot be spared, otherwise the danger of a standstill may arise which would be of great disadvantage to the soul. What is more difficult for the human being to achieve often spurs him on to utmost activity, and this is the purpose of such adversities, that you do not tire or stand still but steadfastly continue the path upwards …. and that you ask for strength so that it can be given to you to overcome everything that hinders you on the path upwards …. The commandment to love one’s neighbour often requires a sacrifice of that which is desirable to man. He must be able to willingly give away what he himself possesses and his neighbour lacks, he must renounce it with joyfulness of heart, he must see his most beautiful task on earth in always giving what brings joy to his neighbour. Then he will experience the same in himself …. he will be given …. he will receive what the Lord Himself offers him, be it earthly or spiritually. God will always give to the one who gives to his neighbour. And thus, if the heart is involved in giving, the heart will also be allowed to receive. Earthly and spiritual gifts, offered in love, will bring in earthly and spiritual successes …. spiritual successes unmeasured and earthly reward, as far as this is beneficial for the soul. Thus a person will never deprive himself if his love for his neighbour prompts him to give. And therefore, misery and worry would never again be represented on earth if every human being would lovingly grant his neighbour help, for God Himself blesses every deed of love. However, humanity lacks the realisation that only love is redeeming. Self-love is strongly developed, and this in turn prevents people from practising neighbourly love, which is only of value if it is done without any self-interest. In most cases, however, the human being will think of his own well-being and, since he therefore does nothing to gain God’s blessing and His love, will have to be made aware of the wrongness of his thoughts and actions, of his omission, through suffering and hardship, and thus cause hardship and suffering. For love redeems, but unkindness makes the human being unfree and keeps him in the adversary’s bondage …. God Himself, however, cannot approach an unloving creature, and divine gifts can never be offered to him …. thus the human being, who only loves his own self and disregards his neighbour in need of help, has to thirst, for he cannot receive anything other than what he gives ….

Amen

An overcomer of death will be the one who strives for life …. for the life that God has promised to those who love Him …. life in all its glory for eternity. For in truth he has conquered death, because his life is now light. But death is darkness, death is inactivity of spirit, death is complete powerlessness and captivity to the forces of evil. And if God promises eternal life to those who love Him and keep His commandments then it should certainly be easy to fulfil His will, for He offers the most glorious reward, He offers everything that is of Him …. He offers Himself, His light and His strength, His love, wisdom and omnipotence to all those who are perfect, just as the Father in heaven is perfect. And this is God’s most marvellous gift of grace, the being may undeservedly receive something which is so exceedingly glorious …. which is life and gives life. And God demands nothing in return but the will of the one who desires eternal glory. The misused will brought about the separation from God, thus the right will has to reunite that which had been separated from God for infinite times. But the world with its attractions is the greatest danger for the still undecided will. On the one hand it certainly sees the eternal glories, but they are still far away and therefore it prefers to turn to the attainable earthly glories, which seem more desirable to it and exert the strongest attraction on its senses. And thus he applies his will wrongly and closes the door for himself to those glories which signify eternal life, and he does not fulfil the divine commandments, for his heart is still attached to matter, it seeks to increase it and will understandably not be able to separate itself from it by sacrificing, by giving unselfish love to his neighbour and thus fulfilling the divine commandments. He has not surrendered his own will and therefore cannot partake of the grace …. he cannot partake of what God promises to those who love Him more than all earthly things, who only strive to fulfil His will and no longer pay attention to the world and its charms. A world of unimaginable splendour will open up to them, they will receive unimaginable bliss, they will indulge in delights which are inconceivable to the human being as long as he still dwells on earth. They will in truth be able to be called children of God, for they are active like Him, i.e. the divine will flows through them, and everything they now do of themselves they do according to the divine will out of His wisdom and His power. Their reward will be incomparable, for nothing on earth can even approximate the bliss in which a perfect being may revel. For the Lord Himself said on earth: ‘No human eye has ever seen and no human ear has ever heard what I have prepared for those who love Me ….’

Amen

This is the bread of life which the Lord Himself offers you in His love. This love prepares food for your soul which provides it with everything it needs for its earthly life. And whoever eats of this bread will live for eternity …. With loving care the Lord of Heaven and Earth remembers the time that follows earthly life, and for the sake of this time He sends the bread of heaven to people so that the soul can eat it, and gain strength in order to overcome the last obstacles. For life after death is still a divine mystery to the human being’s senses …. He cannot yet realise what tasks await him, and the knowledge of this must first be imparted to him before he can fulfil this task. But the knowledge of this is the nourishment of the soul, the knowledge of this is the bread of heaven, and the knowledge of this is also the strength to be able to fulfil the preconditions in order to be admitted to this task one day. And everything spiritual longs for nourishment from above in order to be increased within itself through the spiritual supply. And when the human being is in spiritual experience, this food from heaven is the only desirable thing for him; he receives according to his desire and has no restrictions to fear. And yet the human being will constantly have to struggle against the power that tries to weaken the desire in him, for this is the greatest danger. The human being will be given what he desires but without desire such a gift cannot be given to him, and therefore the one who wants to receive has to be careful to fuel the inner desire, he has to keep the marvellous goal in mind which requires great strength from him to achieve, and then desire this strength for the sake of this high goal. Furthermore, he has to ask God for His support so that he will not succumb to the opposing power, for the latter works mightily in order to weaken the human being’s will. But once the bread of heaven has been consciously received, the divine will becomes so strong that the power of the adversary is ineffective, for God blesses the bread of heaven with His power, and the adversary is powerless against it. And this should be an incentive for you humans to desire the food of heaven with all your heart, as it gives you the strength to resist, increased desire and a rich knowledge of the divine activity and rule in His creation. It facilitates the ascent to the heights, which cannot be conquered without the supply of strength from God. Desire nothing more than this food and savour it at all times, then you will go strengthened through earthly life, you will increase in wisdom, love will become strong in you, for what is offered to you out of love must awaken love in you again, and thus bear a thousandfold fruit, for anyone who is allowed to receive the bread of heaven from God’s hands will also want to pass it on, and thus love will increase …. Every person will be urged to pass on the delicious things he receives himself, and this urge comes from the love that wants to be active. And thus everything that is born of love will awaken love again; the strength from God will be transferred and passed on to all those who desire the bread of heaven, who are allowed to receive it, and distribute it again to their fellow human being …. For what emanates from God will never dry up, but will always and constantly remain a source of refreshment and refreshment for every thirsty traveller ….

Amen

The working of the divine spirit cannot be refuted even though it cannot be comprehended. A human being can certainly face a process with a lack of understanding and thus want to dismiss something as fantasy or imagination due to a lack of knowledge, but a person whose power of judgement is more developed can never completely refute this working, for he encounters forces which he cannot explain to himself and therefore will not unscrupulously deny them either. It is the conviction of mankind that every spiritual process can be explained scientifically, that therefore human knowledge is nowhere deficient; and this conviction excludes from the outset that an explanation of mysterious processes could be sought other than intellectually. Thus man will now also want to fathom intellectually where such spiritual results come about. However, he will never be able to refute these results, because then he would have to delve into problems which are unsolvable for him without spiritual help …. He can therefore only judge (explain) the arising itself, affirmatively or rejectingly, but never the arisen. For such a thing is beyond his judgment. He who only looks at himself and everything around him with earthly eyes does not desire to unravel problems which lie outside the earthly, thus he cannot make judgements either. However, he who only has a little contact with the supernatural by letting his thoughts wander at times into regions unknown to him will also always be questioning towards infinity, and the questioner will hold back his judgement. Only he can judge who has spiritual knowledge himself, and his judgment will always be affirmative, for he recognises the divine working, because the spirit within him makes contact with the same spiritual strength outside of him and thus the realisation must be the same, since there is only one truth …. which God Himself imparts to those who desire His spirit. If it is recognised by the world that nothing can be proven in the opposite sense, what wisdom comes to earth from above, then it will not be rejected. However, if the judgement is left to incompetent people, then the work will experience a temporary confiscation which, however, is also permitted by God’s will in order to cause a certain circle to deal with it more closely. But the Lord protects His work, even if it appears that human power is greater and all hope is lost. For the Lord has His plan and all human rage is powerless if it goes against His divine will. The time of separation will soon come, the time of detachment from what man holds dear …. And since he will not give it up voluntarily, the Lord will take it by force …. And this time will be preceded by events so that what the Lord is planning …. will become public knowledge to humanity, and God will accomplish this, albeit in a different way than expected. For God recognises both the danger and the blessing of ignorance and knowledge ….

Amen

He Who is life and strength in Himself also places them into the human being’s chest, and endows him with abilities which testify to His love and wisdom. He remains in perpetual contact with them through the gift of that power which determines the life of man. Therefore, is also strength what a person who carries God within him gives. For through his abilities he is able to utilise this strength in such a way that it benefits his fellow human being, provided he cultivates love. However, he can also utilise the strength …. which comes to him, regardless of whether he is worthy of it …. also in a God-opposing sense, if he uses it for the creation of things which harm his neighbour in body and soul. For then this power is no longer synonymous with life, but with death.Being allowed to receive divine strength is a process that is always and constantly repeated. For not a second passes in which the flow of power from God ceases, and it can always and constantly be utilised in a life-awakening way if a person’s endeavours are always directed towards the good …. Then this power has a constructive but not a destructive effect. And if this strength from God is utilised to build up what is threatened to collapse …. if, by means of this strength, what is in decline yet guided upwards again, then this strength has a truly life-awakening effect. One must always bear in mind the adversity of the one who is likewise of God but is not aware of his life-awakening power …. He does not use what is offered to him, and that means stagnation of the spiritual within himself …. Or he utilises it in a wrong way, and that means regression. The life that was given to man on earth is preserved for him precisely through the gift of divine strength. This strength should not remain unused but it should not be misused either …. It is used by man through every activity, and if the activity is willed by God, then the power is used in His sense. But misused strength is sin before God, for misused strength is anything that is started in opposition to God’s law, thus every deed that lacks love for God and one’s neighbour. And that is why it is incumbent on every individual human being to participate in the divine work of creation in earthly life as well as in the spiritual …. that enlivens the divine work of creation i.e. to use his strength for everything beneficial to the soul. For this should be man’s greatest concern. If the human being uses the strength imparted to him by God to be spiritually constructively active, he will utilise this strength in a God-pleasing way, and he will now find the greatest possible support, for currents of strength will now converge which guarantee extraordinary activity. A construction is now being continued for which God Himself laid the foundation stone by giving every human being the ability to recognise what corresponds to divine will. Everything that is constructively active will live, for it utilises the strength from God in a manner pleasing to Him, and thus it will never again be taken away from it, and it will be granted an uninterrupted life with constant receipt of divine strength and constant use of it according to God’s will ….

Amen

There are infinite difficulties to overcome and it takes an extremely strong will to dedicate oneself to a task of utmost importance. And such a task has to be carried out by a person who declares himself fully committed to it …. who is willing to fight the obstacles and for whom divine will is paramount. And God endows such willing people with His strength so that they are not depressed and thus can enter into the extraordinary in their experience joyfully and freely. So where a person is faced with a task and he gives up his own will, i.e. surrenders it to God, God now directs every step towards the right realisation. And this also requires a heart that can withstand every onslaught. Therefore, such a heart must not be sensitive like a mimosa in order not to collapse under the onslaught of events affecting it or to lose itself anxiously fluttering in contemplations that could hinder the fulfilment of the task. The human being lives along in a certain equanimity, or he is shaken by what earthly life allows him to see. Both can be God-ordained at times, for equanimity can also be beneficial if at the same time strength is demanded of the human being, for equanimity is not indifference …. Equanimity is only a less strong sensitivity, but need not be unkindness. In order to be able to fulfil a task that requires a clear view and clear thinking at all times, the emotional life must also be well-balanced in order to be able to sense the various currents within oneself, and thus utilise them in accordance with divine will. For every task is carried out in accordance with God’s will as long as the human being subordinates his will to the divine will, thus the emotional life of an earthly child who subordinates himself to God will also be shaped in such a way that it is good for the fulfilment of the task assigned to him ….

Amen

You live in a world of nuisances, and you must take great care that it does not destroy you. You pay no attention to the false spirit around you, which wears the mask of the righteous and which can be your undoing if God does not grant you protection. Covetousness is rampant among mankind, there is a nameless immorality in all classes, and the spirit of purity is driven out, it finds no place where it can settle to work through man. And there is no help for mankind unless it helps itself and seeks to fight its lust once and for all. For man must also work on himself, and he must not indulge in any laxity if he does not want to cause unimaginable damage to his soul. The more faithlessness takes over, the less man respects the divine laws …. Life has become so self-evident to him that he does not consider it possible that it could be taken away from him, and he now seeks to savour this life and distances himself more and more from God. Earthly life, which was given to him for his union with God, for his complete liberation and for consciously working on his soul, is only then worth living when it is utilised. Yet as long as the earthly incentive is still effective the work on the soul can hardly be tackled, for this world no longer has anything in the way of earthly successes for a spiritual striving earthly child …. But earthly successes are certainly worth striving for a detached human being, yet not for a person permeated by the divine spirit ….

Amen

From a person (being?) glowing with love for God a current will emanate which directly reaches the soul of the one who likewise lives in God. However, this person will also be exposed to a counter-current. And that is the great danger, since everything that is evil also increases and works within itself, but always to the detriment of the soul. Man must ask God for increased protection so that his dealings with people will not be detrimental to his soul. Whoever serves God in all love, reverence and humility will feel every evil influence and know how to protect himself against it through prayer. Yet the human being should never deem himself so strong that he does not need this protection, for the opposing power is strong and only intent on destroying all currents and breaking every connection from earth to the beyond …. all threads from the human being to God ….. Only where the will is so strong that it constantly demands God will it give up its intrigues. And therefore the human being should always and constantly entrust himself to spiritual protection, so that he will also be protected in hours when his own will is weaker, so that he will be warned at the right moment by his spiritual friends who are now fighting for him as it were.

Far too little use is made of the help of these beings and therefore the battle on earth is sometimes quite a difficult one, even for the earthly child who is turned towards God …. For it desires too little the strength from God, which transmitters are those spiritual friends. But if the human being hands himself over in full faith to the care of those beings of light working in God’s will, then the human being may also constantly receive strength, for every perfect being that abides in love, distributes the strength unmeasured which it receives itself through divine love. And thus the adversary’s doing is made more difficult, his power is curtailed, as it were, in that it is ineffective against people who want to receive such strength from God. And this is truly necessary at a time when all spiritual activity is denied …. If the human being abandons himself to those currents weak-willed, which emanate from the adversary, thus only strive for destructive success, he will weak-willed submit himself to this power , and his thinking will soon be misguided, his power of realisation will be weakened, his resistance will slacken and he will unconditionally accept what is whispered to him by that power, and which completely contradicts God’s will. You will then be bound creatures, and you will lack the strength to release yourselves from this bondage, whereas the desire for God, the surrender to good spiritual beings, the will to receive good spiritual strength will free you from all compulsion, and the light of realisation will shine for you on all your paths through life. For God is within reach of everyone who merely desires Him ….

Amen

‘I do not give to you as the world gives ….’

God’s most marvellous gift is His greater that great love, which He offers to all people in order to make them blisfully happy. Divine love embraces all His creatures, it leaves no being out, only the degree of the rays of love varies depending on the being’s distance from God. The strength of the will directed towards God determines the degree of God’s love for man, and thus approaching God or distance from Him means increased or diminished love …. Thus, man can make himself partaker of the greatest gift of grace or deprive himself of it if his way of life is in accordance with God’s will or strives completely against it. In divine love, man finds the fulfilment of his longing on earth, for a wondrous peace enters the heart of the one who is seized by God’s love. He desires nothing other than to be able to remain in this divine love, he longs for God and demands nothing more from the world. God’s love expresses itself in such a way that the human being always desires God more and more. Divine love therefore also ignites the fervour of love for God in the human heart …. ‘I do not give to you as the world gives ….’ It is a different fulfilment that makes man happy; man no longer longs for earthly pleasures, but his desire is purely spiritual and so is the fulfilment of it. And yet it makes man unspeakably happy and cannot be compared with earthly happiness. After all, it is God Himself Who communicates Himself to people, for God is Love. To be made happy by God’s love means to be allowed to carry Him within oneself, and therefore the human being should endeavour to only ever do what brings him divine love, as this guarantees him the most blissful state. Countless earthly pleasures may seem worth striving for to him, they are only deceptive lights in comparison to divine love, and they will also, like deceptive lights, extinguish and leave nothing behind, whereas divine love can never ever pass away once it has seized the earthly child, for what God gives is incomparably glorious and imperishable ….

Amen

Powerful appearance without shyness ….

It requires a very special devotion to God to stand up as His confessor, and to bear witness to the world of His love and omnipotence. Not everyone is able to master the fear of earthly power. People become timid and fearful, and their faith wavers if they are threatened by human danger. He may be willing, but he does not have the inner strength, and will therefore come into serious inner conflict as soon as lawful action is taken against all zealous confessors of Christian doctrine. Extremely turbulent times are to be expected, and many a person will feel compelled to proclaim the divine Word, to enlighten humanity about their wrong way of life on earth. And this will earn him harsh reprimands from earthly authorities, and the human being will only be able to work for God …. in complete secrecy because he will never dare to go public. And yet this will be the only way to achieve success, for only a powerful appearance will be able to convince people of the truth of what he proclaims. And thus the person will have to speak of God and His work without shyness and fear, he will have to freely confess for Whose Name he is fighting; he will have to be completely open about the matter. He will only need to fear God alone and, regardless of the earthly danger, he will have to be fully committed to Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world. For the spiritual is completely separate from everything earthly. Tremendous upheavals are always necessary to make people receptive to the divine teaching. This makes them thoughtful and accordingly easier to accept the teaching, which is of divine origin and remains unchanged. The people who take care of spreading the divine word will be blessed by Him. God Himself will lead them into battle, into the fight to spread the divine teaching. And where God Himself is the commander of the army, the battle will always end in victory. For He gives strength to those who fight for His Name, and they will speak as with the tongues of angels, proclaiming everything to the glory of God and sparing no effort to spread the divine teaching so that humanity will come to realisation, and ask God for knowledge in the last hour. And this time of battle will still cost many sacrifices, the human being will first reject everything, yet anyone who requests strength from God in order to recognise the truth will also receive it in abundance. For such people offer their thanks, and sacrifice themselves for the many unfortunates who only ever see the dreadful misery but not the spiritual success. And that is why the strength from God should be requested particularly urgently right now, and the human being should allow faith to become strong within himself so that he can take part in the battle, and thus also work with love for the Divine Lord and Saviour ….

Amen

Spiritual property ….

That is why the intellect was given to you in order to recognise the purpose of life and your destiny. And if you now pray for enlightenment you will never be able to receive anything other but the truth, only the will to stand in truth makes you capable of receiving it. If you now receive divine gifts and want to make them your spiritual property intellectually, you have to think through what you have received carefully, and thus utilise the abilities given to you by the Creator, and then consider the pros and cons of everything that has been imparted to you until you can wholeheartedly endorse what you have been offered, that is, until the truthfulness of it is beyond doubt. And what you now recognise as truth yourselves you will easily be able to pass on to your fellow human beings. Then there can be no question of thoughtlessly accepting what is offered, for the human being would not be able to pass something on which he had not previously made his spiritual property; and the human being can only make spiritual property of what he …., although received with his heart …., has first processed with his intellect, otherwise it would not stick to him and thus it would also be impossible to pass it on. The will to serve Him …. is sufficient to receive or write down what God has imparted, but to spread the divine gift it is sufficient to think through what has been received intellectually. If the recipient now also wants to be active in teaching, he must inevitably first make everything he has received his spiritual property; he must therefore never be satisfied with what he has received, for this only becomes of value when it gains life through reflection on it, when it in turn stimulates life, i.e. when everything that requires activity is put into practice. Every teaching is without life as long as it is only on paper; only once it is grasped by the heart and processed by the mind is it alive, i.e. it now stimulates an activity that corresponds to what has been absorbed. What God offers the human being on earth will always serve the soul’s perfection, since the sole purpose of earthly life is higher development. Therefore, everything offered will always stimulate the human being’s free will, but not force it. ‘You can do it if you want to ….’ Every person should bear these words in mind. He must therefore do something himself …. he must declare himself willing to accept the divine gift of grace by focussing his thoughts on it, and only then will he truly receive the hallmark of divine love, only then will his heart and mind process what he has received, and only then will he be able to call a spiritual treasure his own ….

Amen
