Reflect on the seriousness of the hour. The will to live and to create a bearable existence is extremely strongly developed in the human being, and every thought has earthly well-being as its aim. And time passes without bringing any benefit to the soul, the end draws ever closer, the distance from Me grows ever greater, people seek to satisfy themselves in the frenzy of earthly pleasures, they only pay attention to the world and don’t think about death and what will come after death. And even if I admonish and warn, My words go unheard or are not heeded. It is a state of greatest confusion, both earthly and spiritually, the apostasy from Me is growing ever greater, and the few who stick by Me are of weak faith and anxiously await the future. They are certainly touched by My grace but they do not yet recognize Me as I want to be recognized. And again and again I therefore speak words of love and encouragement to them and give them the promise that I will not leave them, even if the adversity seems immense. Yet the latter is unavoidable, for I want to chain My own to Me, they shall not seek comfort and help elsewhere but only from Me; I want them to constantly take refuge in Me and thus no longer exclude Me in their thoughts, actions and intentions. Then they will also persevere and not get lost. But you who seek the world, who are unable to separate yourselves from earthly things, you will still experience difficulties, for you too must become aware that your stay on this earth is not eternal and that you strive for what is transient and worthless for eternity. Again and again you have to give away what you acquire until you detach yourselves from it in your heart, only then will you be receptive for spiritual possessions, only then will you listen to My word and accept it in your heart if you are of good will. I still try to save the souls which are not yet completely corrupted, and for the sake of these souls the adversity will become even greater, as I have predicted to you through seers and prophets. You must recognize the truth of My word, for I have constantly pointed out this adversity to you and presented your earthly existence as almost unbearable …. You must believe My words, you must not dismiss them indifferently and ignore them but adjust your life accordingly, you must criticize yourselves and conduct your way of life in accordance with My commandments, you must work on your soul, make an effort to live a life of love and constantly seek Me in thought and heartfelt prayer. Then you will survive the difficult time because you will never lack strength; you will derive great benefit for your soul even if you live in earthly adversity and misery. The end is near and a blissful time will soon dawn for you if you follow Me, if you pay attention to My admonitions and warnings and prepare yourselves for the last days, if you remain faithful to Me until the end ….

Amen

Whatever may come over you, do not doubt My love for you and My power. Know that everything is necessary, both for you, who are active as My co-workers on earth in the last days before the end, as well as for the people who are distant from Me and shall still be won over for the spiritual kingdom. The fact that you, who want to belong to Me, will also be affected by the suffering cannot be avoided, yet again and again I give you the assurance that you will not remain without My help and My protection, that even the most difficult will be bearable for you if you remain intimately united with Me. The time of the great tribulation has dawned, which it is written will usher in the last days, and every individual will have to feel it; only those who belong to My adversary will remain unaffected and enjoy earthly prosperity. But don’t let yourselves be distracted by this, My love belongs to you who have to suffer, I provide for you differently than with earthly goods, I give you spiritual wealth, although I also take care of your earthly worries. You will not need to starve, I will provide your soul and body with nourishment, thus you need not worry about their preservation. And yet, you will have to fight and need great strength which I will always supply to you through My word. The more intimately you desire My word and accept it in your heart the easier you will go through earthly life, even if it is outwardly difficult for you. The time of tribulation has dawned …. Remember this when you believe you can no longer endure life, remember that the end is near and that a time of adversity must inevitably precede it, because I have foretold it and My word must come true and because the souls which have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary can no longer be saved otherwise. And remember that the time until the end is only short and therefore has to bring increased suffering in order to accelerate the maturing, so that you will be in a state at the end that I can take you to Me, that you can see Me when I want to make Myself visible to you coming in the clouds. Remember that this vision requires a degree of maturity which can only be achieved through loving activity and suffering, but that I can also make the latter bearable for you if only you believe. Let your faith become stronger and you can thereby reduce your own suffering, for then you will achieve what you ask for, because I have given you the promise: “Ask and it shall be given you, knock and it shall be opened to you ….”

Amen

“Create and work while it is still day, for the night is coming when you can no longer work ….” How close you are to the onset of night, it is the last minutes of the day when you are alive, and you are not aware of the seriousness of it, you are lukewarm in your soul’s work and live as if you still have a long time ahead of you. You are mistaken …. night will soon fall and envelop the whole earth in deepest darkness, and you could still achieve an unspeakable amount if you wanted to use the last minutes and seriously prepare yourselves for life after death. You should only think of your souls and pay no more attention to what concerns the body. For only the soul remains, nothing remains for you of earthly goods, of the material world. You already have one foot on the other side, but what will the kingdom be like which will receive your soul? Is it the kingdom of light or that of darkness? Is it day or night for your soul? Where there is light, there is life, but the night is dreadful. And therefore I warn you urgently and speak to you again and again to draw your attention to the great responsibility you bear towards your soul. Don’t bring it into an unspeakable adversity which you can still easily avert if you change, disregard everything earthly and only think of fulfilling My will and living a life in accordance with My commandments …. stand by your neighbour in every earthly and spiritual adversity, intervene helpfully where your help is required and always and constantly accept My word which informs you of My will and imparts strength to you to live the life as it is My will. Create and work while it is still day …. it will soon draw to a close and an endless long night will follow from which I want to protect you because I love you …. Listen to the words of My love and take them seriously, so that you will escape the night and a day will dawn for you which will last forever ….

Amen

People postpone the end of the world to the farthest future and do not comment on its imminent announcement because they consider a debate about it to be completely nonsensical. And this is also how My admonitions and warnings are assessed, they are hardly heeded and therefore no change of lifestyle is striven for. And this, too, is a sign that the end is near, for people are only earthly minded and have no inner drive for spiritual striving. Again and again I send them My messengers who mention and point out My extraordinary working. They receive knowledge through these messengers and will therefore never be able to say that they have remained without knowledge about the end which is shortly approaching you humans. It is My will that you will not remain without knowledge. And thus again and again you will be informed of it through word and scripture, through your fellow human beings who serve Me and are in contact with Me, who receive the pure truth and want to hand it over again.

(30.4.1948) They will inform you how close the downfall of the earth is, what adversity and tribulation is in store for you, so that you will recognize that the time has come when My word will be fulfilled. Anyone who postpones the downfall to the future, who does not believe My word, will have no explanation for the unusual adversity, and all faith will be lost to him, yet through his own fault. For the truth, which he does not want to hear, would give him fullest explanation and also let him find the path to Me. Yet the human being cannot be forced to accept what is conveyed to him from above; he must voluntarily open himself to My word if it is to take effect in him, but then he will also be able to believe how close the end is and derive benefit for his soul from his knowledge ….

Amen

You will be seized by an indescribable longing for My presence once your soul has entered the kingdom of light, and the fulfilment of this longing is bliss. You will feel love for Me to an ever increasing degree and therefore also sincerely long for unity with Me, and so that you will find fulfilment I will draw close to you and you will feel My closeness as a blissful feeling of strength, as an increased impetus for activity, as an inner urge to make yourselves happy by distributing what you possess. In order for you to be able to distribute, I constantly provide you with spiritual wealth, I impart profound knowledge to you and therefore place you in an everlasting state of happiness which offers you variety in every way. You will be allowed to see and hear what you will never be granted to see or hear on earth. You will be blessed …. What love can offer you, that you will receive, for My love for you is boundless and constantly intent on turning happiness towards you. Yet you will only ever be spiritually considered, for earthly goods no longer appeal to you in the state of perfection. The desire for earthly goods is a sign of a lack of maturity of soul which can never earn you a state of light. But you will hunger and thirst and always have the desire to be satisfied, and your desire will always be satisfied by My love …. Shape yourselves on earth such that you only desire spiritual goods, try to overcome all matter, only attain spiritual gifts, and you will already be able to enjoy the state of bliss on earth, for as soon as earthly things are overcome I will never ever leave you, then My presence will be assured to you and with it the supply of strength which you will feel as bliss, which will impel you into constant activity for Me and My kingdom. Giving and wanting to please is right love, giving and wanting to please characterizes the degree of neighbourly love, and thus only the urge for pleasing activity can be called love, although the human being’s desire is also for things which are only purely material; yet this love is a perverse love which does not lead to Me but distances itself from Me. I want to draw your attention to the fact that only love which has Me as its aim, which therefore expresses itself through unselfish neighbourly love, is strength-inspiring. Love for the world will never put you into a state of bliss which approximately equals that of the beings of light. And never will the desire and fulfilment be as blissful as in the spiritual kingdom, where I alone am the object of your love and longing ….

(2.5.1948) Do you now understand why I constantly court your love? Why do I want to win you for eternity? I don’t want to improve your lot on earth but I want you to be happy for all of eternity. You shall work together with My angels as beings of light and develop an activity which gives rise to wonderful things, which brings about creations of wondrous design. And thus you shall be allowed to use My might and strength without restriction, but this first requires unity with Me. I want you to become blessed through the use of My strength. I want to give unlimitedly, and you shall be so filled with My strength that you can create and shape like Me according to your will, which is then also My will. The integration of your will into My will is the first condition to find unity with Me, yet you will always think, want and act in free will if you have subordinated it to Me; you will never be active in a feeling of compulsion because this would impair your beatitude and diminish your perfection. In the kingdom of light My will fulfils all beings which nevertheless are active according to their own will, and all beings only have one aim …. to dwell close to Me. Yet it is impossible and incomprehensible for the human being to specialize life in eternity, to take cognizance of the activity of the individual beings, because this eludes all conception of human thought. The spiritual kingdom is a different world than the earthly one, and therefore the latter is also not to be mentioned comparatively. Only a certain degree of maturity of the soul makes the human being able to see and to receive and reproduce spiritual impressions. But if the soul leaves the body and enters the kingdom of light it will understand My infinite love and marvel at all the glories of which the human being on earth cannot imagine. Then My word will come true: No human eye has ever seen and no human ear ever heard what I have prepared for those who love Me ….

Amen

The earth will become a place of judgement for all people who stand aloof from Me …. I will pronounce My judgement according to justice, and woe to those who are condemned …. the earth will swallow them up, and their souls will have to walk the path anew through the creations of the new earth. This has been decided since eternity. For the law of order must be maintained, but at the end of a redemption period this law will be completely disregarded, which always means destruction. Humanity, which lives in such a time, completely contradicting My order, also falls prey to this destruction, yet it is always only the external form which falls victim to destruction, but the soul, the spiritual substance, only transforms itself, i.e. it takes on other external forms, and this act of transformation is the judgment …. The spiritual, which was already in a state of a certain freedom, will again be bound in solid matter. This act will take place because My wisdom recognized it from eternity as a means to guide the spiritual substance, which is completely distant from Me, back to Me again. It is a means which is certainly effective but unspeakably painful for the spiritual substance and which I therefore only use when there is no other possibility of approaching Me. Yet as long as a period of salvation continues I will always point to its end in order to motivate people to still seek an approach to Me on earth, in order to make the significance of earthly life clear to them and to induce them to live in accordance with My law of order. But humanity does not want to believe in an end, it regards earthly life as an end in itself, not, as it is, as a means to an end, and therefore it remains untouched by the ideas of those who know about My plan of eternity and are to have an enlightening effect on earth on My behalf.

(6.5.1948) These are instructed in truth, they have been taught by the voice of the spirit according to My will, their thinking is enlightened, and thus they will only ever recognize what is right and know how to distinguish error from truth. They are initiated into My plan of salvation, full understanding will dawn upon them, and they will also have knowledge of the course of an earth period, they will recognize the time of the end from people themselves and from the phenomena which have been predicted since the beginning of a redemption period and thus be able to point to it with certainty if they, as My representatives on earth, are to proclaim My word to people. You humans should listen to them and take their words to heart, for they are given to you by Me, I Myself speak to you through their mouths, it is My spirit which speaks through them because I Myself want to instruct you, because I want to admonish and warn you for the sake of your souls. You should remember the end, you should remember your imperfection and the great gulf which still exists between you and Me if you are sinful. You should entrust yourselves to Me so that I Myself will take care of you, and you should see in Me your saviour from spiritual adversity. Only spiritual adversity prompts Me to let you fall into earthly adversity, for if you listen to My servants My words will enter your heart more easily and you will also consider an end of this earth possible. You will have more contact with the spiritual kingdom from where help will come to you in many ways. Try to win Me as father and loving God for you, yet don’t let Me become a punishing judge for you …. Win My love for yourselves so that you need not fear My wrath, overcome matter so that you can enter the spiritual kingdom carefree, and create and work so that you will become blissfully happy. For the time is short when you can still work, the day is coming when everyone will be called to account, when I will judge the living and the dead, when I will separate the goats from the sheep, when every soul’s fate will be according to its will …. bliss in the kingdom of free spirits or renewed banishment into matter, a state of hell which you should fear and from which I want to protect you …. Therefore believe what comes to you through the mouth of the seers and prophets …. believe that it is My word which is given to you from above so that you may find grace and be saved on the day of judgment ….

Amen

You must visualize the development of every work of creation in order to gain the conviction that the human being also had to cover an infinitely long period of development before he reached the stage where he could think, speak and act in free will. To a certain extent, an outer form had to be formed which was suitable for any kind of activity; furthermore, an organic activity had to be possible for this outer form which served the preservation of the body. But this outer form first had to come into being in the most primitive way and in the course of a long time had to refine itself, that is, it took a long time for this outer form to develop in such a way that intellect and free will were added to it and it could now carry out any activity rationally. From this it follows that there was no sudden creation of the human being by God, although this was certainly easily possible for Him but did not correspond to His wisdom and love, but that a slowly ascending development preceded, the product of which is the human being who is capable of thinking, wanting freely and carrying out deeds, who could now also be held responsible for his thinking, wanting and doing. Therefore, before the fully developed human being there were already human-like living beings on earth on different levels of development, but temporally there was no great difference, so that at the same time the whole earth was (not) animated. (not animated) …. (crossed out and changed in brackets in the handwriting) by the living being that could lay claim to the name man, that was therefore in possession of free will and a well-developed intellect and thus capable of acquiring a certain degree of knowledge.

And this being multiplied according to divine will and divine order, for every work of creation, including the human being, is subject to divine natural law, and it is guided and determined to act in accordance with nature, on which its existence also depends. He can certainly also violate this natural law, but this also endangers his physical life as a human being on earth as well as his soul life, for whose (the soul’s) further development the external form was given to him (the soul).

(8.5.1948) For the sake of the high aim man also had to be given abilities by God which can let him reach this aim if free will is seriously directed towards it. The human being must acquire abilities himself, he must develop his talents and strive to attain the highest maturity of soul. Thus, even as a human being he must continue to develop, and no longer according to his external form, but his thinking, willing and acting must be directed towards his inner form, so that at the end of his earthly career a being will enter the spiritual kingdom which resembles the originally created being, just as it came from God’s source …. The act of creation is therefore a process which extended over a long period of time but which was presented to people as it was comprehensible to them, for the creature’s state of imperfection results in ignorance, in the inability to understand the deepest motives of creation, its meaning and purpose and its final aim, and the final aim of the creatures placed on earth by God, for which reason knowledge had to be offered to the latter in a form that gave a rough outline of God’s rule and activity, in order to make the creation of the earth and all living creatures understandable to men in a pictorial way. But as soon as the human being achieves the shaping into love in free will, as soon as he develops the ability within himself to receive spiritual instructions, as soon as he is mentally in contact with the spiritual kingdom, he will also know about the pure truth, about the slow upward development of all creation and thus also of the human being, who, as the crown of creation, is the only living being which can change ignorance into a high degree of knowledge, to whom therefore also the ability was given to recognize God and His working, which reveals love, wisdom and omnipotence. Once a person has acquired this knowledge he will also be able to explain the figurative comparison which was once given to the ancients who, if they were pious and God-fearing, understood its true meaning. Faithless people, on the other hand, regard every depiction of creation as untrue or unacceptable, and they reject it without knowing the truth or being able to oppose it with better knowledge. But even if the truth could be offered to them clearly and comprehensibly, they would reject it because their intellect cannot grasp it, since their hearts are without love ….

Amen

It is not a spiritual violation if a person from a certain school of thought is introduced to another one, if he is offered information which contradicts his knowledge, as long as he is able to accept or reject it of his own free will. However, if he is forced into acceptance by law, if he is placed into a punishable state, i.e. if, through threat of punishment, his thoughts and actions become constrained, then it is a violation which can never have good results for his soul. Therefore, My Word should always be preached, but never forcefully imposed on people. For this reason the transmission of pure truth from above is an act of purest freedom of will which always allows an unenlightened person the option to look at it as human fabrication, if the listener’s will of rejection is stronger. Every human being is able to recognise the divine origin if he is genuinely interested in the pure truth and the continued progress of his soul. In that case he will certainly also be given the ability by Me to recognise the truth as such, because it is My will that the human being’s thoughts should be within the realm of truth and I will provide him with every opportunity to recognise what is right.

But I, for My part, will never forcibly influence the will of a person, therefore I also disapprove of people being spiritually forced by other people by teachings which, in the form of dogma, oblige their acceptance or else they are regarded as sinful. The human being has to be answerable for every offence against My commandment of love but I will never call him to account if his inner feeling prevents him from accepting a religious doctrine, even if it corresponds to the truth. Even then he will still not burden himself with sin, his longing for truth is just not sufficiently deep yet to allow him to recognise the truth as such. However, the acceptance of religious dogma without scrutiny and inner conviction is completely worthless for the development of the soul. Dogma is always unfavourable for the soul because the human being is being stopped from forming an opinion about a religious doctrine, yet without deep thought no conviction of faith can ever be gained.

People certainly need leaders if they do not endeavour their soul’s spiritualisation of their own accord; nevertheless, wise guides should only teach and thus try to stimulate the heart and intellect because the connection to Me, to the spiritual kingdom, has to be established by every individual person himself. And the path to this end should be shown by My representatives on earth by the spreading of My Word. They should always allow Me to speak and never add their own words, decree commandments or impose commitments on people as if they were demanded by Me …. I allow every person to keep his freedom, and I Am only concerned with the uninterrupted transmission and spreading of truth. Anyone who is searching for it is searching for Me and, truly, I will let Myself be found by him; but anyone who does not sincerely strive for truth will not derive any benefit from the acceptance of religious doctrines either, which are presented to him as dogma and therefore he believes that he may not reject them.

Every dogmatic instruction is a restriction of the freedom of will which was given by Me to people, hence it is a spiritual violation which does not correspond to My will and which My representatives on earth should fight against on My behalf. And I will bless every bearer of truth, I will give him the opportunity to spread the truth even though it will meet with opposition. Yet anyone who seriously wants it will recognise it and become thoughtful, and I will help him, I will illuminate his spirit and bless his will ….

Amen

I know My Own and My Own know Me …. And if I call them, they will abide by Me, for they recognise the voice of the Father Who loves them and Whom they want to obey. But soon My call will go out to you, My Own, and I tell you so in advance because you feel safe, because you do not believe that the end is near. However, I need you and therefore I inform you of the fact that you will soon hear My voice, the voice of the good shepherd, who calls His sheep …. I need faithful guards for My flock, leaders who will guide My Own upwards across stony paths and cliffs, who will constantly look after My Own and draw their attention to the near end. These guides and guards will receive the truth from Me directly and convey it to you, they will emerge from the ranks of My Own and impart My Word from above to people; they will be in direct contact with Me, thus they belong to My Own themselves, so when they hear the call, they will know that the hour of their work for Me and My kingdom has come. Then they will establish such heartfelt contact with Me that regression can no longer be possible for a soul which serves Me, that it will never be left without strength, that within a very short time it will be able to speak from Me Myself and then it will fulfil its mission on earth, which is its purpose and goal of earthly life. Then it will only work for Me and gladly spread and advocate My Word, because it will be fully convinced that I Myself speak to it and therefore attach utmost significance to every Word. And the human being will receive strength in abundance. All feeling of weakness will fall away, every spiritual gift will be fully utilised and employed, and his work amongst people will be successful and richly blessed. And this activity of yours will start shortly. I Am aware of your will and your weakness of faith, but I also know the change that will occur to you shortly, I know about the adversity and the suffering of the forthcoming time, but I also know your willingness of having faith and the strength of your faith. And, accordingly, I will provide you with strength and never leave you on your own, regardless of what might happen. Therefore, always abide by My Word, draw from it the strength with which I blessed it, become My children in truth who trustingly hand themselves over to the Father and believe that He will assuredly save you if you suffer adversity. For anyone who recognises My voice is My child and his life is My concern; anyone who believes in Me will also be able to hear My voice; yet anyone who questions the sound of My voice is not My child even if he believes that he is united with Me. The sheep recognise the voice of their shepherd and will follow him when he calls them. I, however, Am the good Shepherd who will not rest until He has found His sheep.

Amen

Every individual person’s course of life is predetermined and has to be taken without grumbling and complaining if it is to have a favourable effect on the soul. But strong trust in God has to be present too, then every destiny can easily be endured, for it is shaped by God alone according to His will, only He is able to change every situation in life, He is able to change joy into grief but also suffering into joy if he is approached in heartfelt prayer, and He will do so if the human being in childlike trust tells Him of his problems and commends himself to His grace.

A long path has to be travelled from the abyss to the pinnacle, and this path cannot always be even or it would not lead to ascent. Obstacles have to be overcome, mountains have to be climbed, for the goal is up above and every progress is arduous without the assistance of the right guide. And as long as you humans walk with God Himself by your side as your guide, as long as you entrust yourselves to His guidance, you will not travel the path in vain, He will lead you upwards, and with His help you will be able to overcome every obstacle. And the steeper the path the shorter it will be and the higher you can climb; but when you have reached the pinnacle you will be able to look back and be grateful to your Guide Who enabled you to reach the goal, and every adversity will be over.

The more difficult a destiny, the higher the goals set for you and the brighter the light will shine, and all abysmal darkness will be defeated. God, however, is able to make even the steepest path of ascent seem smooth to you if you hand yourselves over to Him as His children, if you accept every sorrowful event, if you always pray ‘Father, Your will be done ….’ Then He will not let you suffer, even in greatest adversity He will calm your soul and give you peace, He will powerfully work in you Himself and nothing will seem difficult and yet you continue to progress, for your will, your submission to His will, lets you partake of His strength, you will not consider anything a burden to you and always gladly and cheerfully cover your earthly path until the loving Father’s hand takes hold of you and takes you into the Father’s house, until you have reached the goal and return to the eternal home, into the land of light where no sorrow, no suffering nor adversity exist but only eternal blissfulness ….

Amen

Words that come from above enlighten the spirit, they expand knowledge, they strengthen the soul and also help the body’s substances to spiritualize themselves and turn towards the soul, which is why the body willingly complies with what the soul, driven by the spirit, demands of it. Words which come from above can only be heard when soul and spirit are united, when the human being’s thinking, feeling and wanting is directed inwards, from where the human being’s spirit, which is of divine origin, can make itself known to the soul. Hence the spirit gives off something which flows directly from the spiritual kingdom and has taken the path to it, because the spiritual spark in the human being is in contact with the eternal father-spirit and can therefore also constantly draw the strength from Him which expresses itself as knowledge, which it now also passes on to the soul it inhabits. It is therefore a diversion of divine strength to the soul, which he now has to use if the soul is to achieve spiritual success. It must receive the word from above and let it have an effect on it, and the effect of the divine word will be an impulse to act in love. Then, therefore, the soul will also have influenced the body to join the spirit’s will, and the loving human being will thereby establish direct contact with God, Who will now work in him through His strength of love …. This is a process which is so easy to understand if it is explained to people correctly, and which nevertheless requires the working of the spirit in the human being in order to be understood. For the world, with its earthly mind, knows nothing and understands nothing of God’s union with the human being through love. Although man takes it in literally, he does not understand the connection, just as he has no correct idea of God’s working in man. He explains the latter to himself with clear intellectual thinking but he does not recognize direct word transmission, which proves that he does not believe in the working of the spirit and consequently also does not know that and how God’s spirit expresses itself in the human being. And therefore people also lack the knowledge about the spiritual feeding at the lord’s table. They do not understand the deeper connection between the transmission of the divine word and the lord’s supper instituted by God, and they also lack all understanding for the fact that the word emanating from God Himself is the highest and best good which is attainable on earth and exceedingly necessary for the soul’s development, and that Jesus Christ on earth only knew the one aim to show people the path which earns them the grace to receive that good, the divine word. For He Himself was in that state where His spirit, in union with the eternal father-spirit, imparted profound knowledge to Him and spirit, soul and body were united in constant activity of love. He constantly drew strength from God, He was united with the father of eternity, His soul was fed by the father with His word, and thus He gave back to His fellow human beings what He Himself received …. He distributed the bread of heaven, He passed on the divine word and admonished them to do likewise, He gave bodily and spiritual food to those who hunger and thirst. The giving of the bread was only a figurative comparison of what Jesus offered people with His word …. the divine truth, which truly brings maturity to the soul if it is received with heart and mind. He offered people the word which the father spoke in Him as true food and true drink and admonished them to do the same, to spread the divine teaching of love and thus to refresh people with food and drink, so that they would then strive for union with God and God Himself would be able to refresh them at His table, so that the spiritual spark would flare up in every person and the word of God from above could be heard by all who desire it, who hunger and thirst for spiritual nourishment ….

Amen

You all want to stand in the truth and yet represent different schools of thought. And thus you must admit, since there is only one truth, that every school of thought must be examined as to how far it can lay claim to truth. As long as different schools of thought are opposed to each other, the question is also justified as to which of them represents the truth. Each wants to claim it for itself and none wants to accept the view of the others. And so a serious examination must be made, and the origin of what is taught must be fathomed. And in the end it will turn out that they are always based on human views, that the schools of thought represent knowledge which was merely human thought. Admittedly, such knowledge can also correspond to the truth as soon as it was conveyed to the person who desired truth in the will to serve God. But it has to be considered that God Himself has to distribute the truth because He is the eternal truth Himself. And thus the origin of all knowledge must always be and remain God, and therefore there can only be one truth, i.e. all who request the truth from God and are instructed by God’s spirit will receive the same knowledge. And therefore there cannot be different teachings, for this is the characteristic of truth from God, that it corresponds in everything with the word directly conveyed to the human being from above, which can only be received by a person who lives in love and whose faith in God’s working in the human being through His spirit also causes him to listen to the voice in him which can be heard mentally or also in sound. Thus, where the origin of spiritual knowledge is demonstrably the inner voice, where knowledge was acquired without external supply, where a teacher who is not of this world has to be acknowledged, absolute truth can also be concluded, and a school of thought based on such knowledge can be regarded as right and represented to fellow human beings, whereas spiritual knowledge acquired intellectually may not be accepted unquestioningly or first has to be examined as to what extent it corresponds to pure truth. Although it must always be acknowledged that all schools of thought strive to come close to God and thus to the truth, they do not always take the right path ….

(13.5.1948) that they are lovingly active and approach God for enlightenment of the spirit and then pay attention to the thoughts which now flow towards them from the spiritual kingdom. This path would certainly lead them to the aim, their knowledge, which they believe to have acquired through their own mental activity, will correspond to the truth, for then they will be taught by God Himself, Who imparts the truth to anyone who seriously desires it ….

Amen

You will have a hard time with those who do not want to acknowledge your spiritual work and therefore try to make you unfit for it. You will not be able to change their attitude towards God and it will therefore be a constant battle which you wage against each other. The work against you will paralyse you at times, yet My strength will be stronger, you will not let go of Me and remain faithful servants to Me. And because of your will I will provide you with relief, I will weaken the opposition, I will send you co-workers who will stimulate you and promote the spiritual work, I will come to you Myself and My words will be believed even if I only speak through your mouth …. no objection will be able to be raised to your words anymore, and My working will be obvious. The forces of darkness constantly endeavour to obscure the light which shines in you, and the people of your surroundings fall prey to them, they don’t defend themselves and don’t turn to Me for enlightenment, they reject Me if I approach them and therefore also take no part in what I offer them from above. I Myself took the earthly path, and this path was difficult, for I constantly had to fight people’s unkindness, their unbelief and their love for the material world. And I tried to educate them to love and faith through My word, but only with little success. Once again the love of earthly things prevails, once again people live without love and without faith, and once again I want to help them onto the right path through My word …. And they do not recognize it …. and reject Me. I don’t retaliate because they are weak in spirit, yet I don’t tolerate that they harass you either, that they prevent you from doing your work, that they oppose you if you work for Me and My kingdom. And thus I want to visibly support you, I want to give you a field of work where you can work, even though the world will always oppose you, even though you will find little encouragement. Yet I know My own and I also know the people who can still be won over for Me, and you shall help them. And if you work together success will not fail to materialize, yet you must be active and never put the world with its demands before spiritual work. Believe in My help and don’t be afraid …. I direct all events as they are good for spiritual development, and I will watch over those who serve Me and, as My servants, always have to expect the protection of their lord. I will constantly provide you with helpers who will assist you in earthly and spiritual adversity. Therefore believe firmly and unshakably and expect My help …. and your faith shall not be put to shame ….

Amen

Understand that you must fulfil My will if you want to become blessed. My will is the law of order from eternity, and if someone violates this order he also acts against My will. If you want to be Mine you must also submit to My will, and if it is made known to you it will be easy for you to act accordingly, for I do not demand more of you than you are able to fulfil. I have given you a commandment to love one another …. because love corresponds to My law of eternity, because everything came forth from love and everything is sustained through love. This law is therefore to be accepted unconditionally, and it can also be fulfilled because it corresponds to the original nature of every creature. Only the human being’s will has to join My will, then he cannot but feel love and give love. But if he lets his own will come to the fore then he is in self-love, then he is no longer subject to Me, he disregards My commandment and thereby distances himself from Me because he lacks the strength which he receives from Me through love. Hence it is a completely natural process that the human being, who is in self-love, gives up his striving for Me or refrains from doing what he had done in a state of loving activity. And the lack of strength results in an inability to recognize, in a lack of faith and an ever decreasing will to love. The human being cannot understand deeper wisdom if he lacks love. Nor can he be lovingly active if he does not accept My will, if his own will is stronger than the commandment which makes My will known. And thus the human being’s spiritual development must also involuntarily decline because he does not live in the order I want. It does not correspond to My order that a division arises amongst those who have knowledge of My word, who therefore have the grace to be taught by Me directly or indirectly. A certain degree of loving activity imparts My word to him, and this degree shall be increased and the knowledge increased. However, if a lack of understanding occurs for the teachings which I Myself gave to people through My word, this is a sign of the decline of the activity of love, a sign of increasing self-love which darkens the light, although it cannot be completely extinguished. Yet I hold My own and don’t allow them to decline, instead I use means which impel increased loving activity until the human being’s thinking brightens up again, until My truth appears acceptable to him again and his life also changes accordingly. But never ever can I depart from My commandment of love, from the eternal order, and never ever can I pour out My spirit upon a person who does not submit to My will. And blessed is he if he feels the deficient state, the inability of deeper spiritual understanding, as pressure or even a shortcoming …. For then he will be easily won over again, and he will also pass the test of faith for the sake of which he has to solve spiritual problems which almost cause him to waver ….

Amen

Let yourselves be counted among My disciples whom I train for their last activity on this earth. Again I choose fighters for Myself, I choose disciples for Myself to whom I can proclaim My gospel so that they will carry it out into the world. The end time has dawned, the time of harvest is coming, and much work is still to be done which I entrust to My disciples, to those who follow Me and allow themselves to be taught by Me of their own free will. These disciples of the end time have the same mission as My first disciples, whom I chose Myself according to their inner value, i.e., whom I recognized as willing and able to love and to whom I was therefore also able to send My spirit which continued to instruct them when I no longer lived on this earth. Every person is capable of love, but whether he is willing to love is determined by himself. The ability to love is My gift, the willingness to love is his merit …. And thus many are called but only a few are chosen …. These words of Mine are to be understood as I have explained them, that all people are able if only they want to, but that the willing are also the chosen ones whom I shower with grace. Nothing else shall My words mean, and never that I only grant grace to a few to belong to My own, while I deny it to the others. All people are called but not the devil’s servants, for since I gave everyone the ability to develop love within himself, everyone can also shape himself into a receptacle for the spirit, and thus he is also chosen, yet this shaping of his soul is the work of free will. And if he does not use his ability to love his soul will never change and be suitable as a receptacle for the spirit. Then he certainly belongs to the called but not to the chosen, then not My will but only his will is decisive, then he is not a disciple of Mine, he does not follow Me and is not suitable for work at the end of time. What could you humans accomplish if you used your abilities properly …. My first disciples were full of the spirit when they went out into the world, they all developed their ability to love, they were all devoted to Me and followed My will in everything, and I chose them, I assigned their activity to them, I sent them out into the world so that they should report what they had partly received from Me on earth and partly received from My spirit. And they carried out My mission and taught …. they conveyed the pure truth to people, for their pure, loving nature prevented every misconception and misinterpretation. And as long as they spoke My teaching was pure and unadulterated. But it did not remain so, for people who came after them and in whom My spirit was not yet able to take effect presumed to have the same teaching authority, and the pure teaching was disfigured …. The disciples of the end time are chosen by Me again and are bearers of the pure truth according to their willingness to love. They, too, are to pass on the unadulterated truth to people and must therefore be enlightened by My spirit if they want to carry out their teaching ministry for people’s blessing. The willingness to love makes them suitable disciples, whereas the ability to love does not yet guarantee their suitability for the teaching ministry. In order to be able to teach, they must first call knowledge their own; but the transmission of this knowledge is the result of a life of love without compulsion. You are all called, but who shapes himself in such a way that I can choose him, that I can pour out My spirit upon him, which guarantees purest truth? But I bless My disciples of the last days, for I only dwell with them in spirit, whereas My first disciples constantly had Me close to them, whereas I was constantly present to them and consequently it had to be easier for them to believe in Me than for the disciples of the last days, who have to awaken faith in Me within themselves and let it grow and who therefore find it far more difficult to believe and accept every word as truth. However, I will constantly stand by their side, even if not physically; yet I will always stay with them in spirit until the end, for I Myself have chosen them because I have recognized them and have known about their willingness to love since eternity ….

Amen

You shall all be My children …. You are indeed My living creations, you emerged from Me but were called into existence as free beings and not exposed to any compulsion which told you to stay with Me …. you were merely prompted to make a free decision as to whether you wanted to stay with Me or surrender My nearness out of a false consciousness of strength. You opted for the latter, you believed that you could create and shape independently of Me and thus rejected My emanation of strength, My love …. And thus you have deprived yourselves of childship, you are indeed My living creations yet not devoted to Me with love but striving away from Me …. But I want to win you back as My children, I want you to return to Me of your own free will, that you long for My love, that you desire My strength and should strive for it with all eagerness. I want to give you back the right of childship, I want you to be full of light and strength, that light and strength drive you to be active and that you thus create and shape like Me for your own bliss. And I will enforce My will, even if eternities will pass until you have reached the final aim; but one day I will have all My children again, they will have entered into the most blissful union with Me and it will be, as it was in the beginning …. a kingdom of blessed spirits who will never depart from Me …. But in order to achieve this aim I must also make Myself known to the most distant creatures, I must try to awaken love for Me in them so that they will strive. And therefore I constantly approach them, especially in the stage where My living creations are capable of realization, so that they let their own will become active and turn to Me. In the stage as a human being My struggle for the creature is uninterrupted, for it is the stage of freedom of will which is decisive. If My living creation has recognized Me it strives towards Me, yet I cannot forcibly guide it into recognition because it should decide freely. Yet I constantly influence the soul and come close to it in everything that surrounds it. Every work of creation is a testimony of Me, which the human being’s thinking, feeling and wanting …. his soul …. can stimulate to seek connection with Me. Every experience, suffering or joy, his entire course of life, points to Me again and again …. to the being Who has granted him this course of life. The human being can believe but is not forced to do so; he only has to want to recognize his purpose of existence and deal with thoughts which touch upon the question of the meaning and purpose of his earthly life. Then he will slowly enter the state of realization, for then I will be close to him where he is and where he stands. For I want to be loved by My living creations so that I can raise them to be My true children. And therefore they must recognize Me if they are to love Me. And I help them to come to knowledge through My word. I Myself speak to them and teach them to understand My word, through My word I give them knowledge of My nature, of My creation and activity and of their purpose. And if the human being hears My word he will learn to love Me and inevitably find his way to Me, and I will accept him and truly prepare a home for him as My child, a father’s house, where all the joys of a child will be offered to him, where he will be free and happy and constantly dwell in the father’s vicinity and be inexpressibly happy ….

Amen

I am present to you whenever you speak to Me in prayer or in thought …. This therefore presupposes that I know every person’s thoughts and feelings, that I hear every sigh, every call and childlike plea. Thus I also know about the soul’s every adversity, about its earthly and spiritual state, I know about every possibility to help it and know all ways which lead out of the adversity, but I also know how often people’s thoughts go astray and how necessary the adversity is in order to help the soul. You only have a short earthly path to cover, then every adversity will come to an end for people who want to remain faithful to Me, who adhere to Me and are united with Me through their will. But I want to help you achieve eternal peace, I want you to be free from every oppression, I want you to be able to develop all your strength in order to reward you for your loyalty on earth, I want to reward you for your services which you are willing to render Me. And therefore the last time is still connected with hardship and suffering for you, so that your souls will still be completely purified and be able to receive light in all fullness. I know about every person’s adversity, for I am constantly close to you as soon as you include Me in your thoughts. I am always present to you …. You must always live in this certainty and you will more easily endure everything which seems almost unbearable to you without this awareness. I am present to you …. I accompany you everywhere, I direct your steps, I influence your thoughts, I speak to you through the voice of the spirit, I live with you and My love is always and constantly meant for you, which is why I will never leave you but always be present to you. And even if the world oppresses you, even if your thoughts are taken up by it, you will always return to Me, you will seek Me the more intimately the more the world wants to dominate you. Believe in My presence and always feel safe, protected and cared for by Me, even if you have to suffer, for only My love for you will let you suffer, otherwise you truly would not be able to find Me but I long for your return because I am your father and you are My children whose love I want to possess forever. If you believe in My presence nothing will truly oppress you anymore, for then you may pass all burdens on to Me, I will help you carry them and gladly take your burden upon Myself if your love for Me is inflamed and you hand yourselves over to Me, if you entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for help. For I am always close to you, you are never alone …. Remain aware of My presence and your faith will increase, your love will deepen and your prayer to Me will be so heartfelt that I will hear it at all times ….

Amen

Those of you who follow Me, who desire Me, shall be of like mind in your thinking, speaking and actions. Then you will form a strong congregation although it is small in numbers. Then My spirit will take effect in you and, being permeated by My spirit, you will be able to speak for Me and My kingdom. And your words will ignite, for you give evidence of them yourselves with your actions which express your thoughts and your will. Unity shall reign in My congregation because all are living in the same truth and all must be united with Me by love and therefore form a great soul which I call My church. I will always be present in this congregation, and when My Word is preached it is I Who speaks through the speaker. And this is the church against which even the gates of hell shall not prevail, for if I Am present in it Myself the adversary’s activity will remain unsuccessful. This is the church which will triumph at the end of the days, for it embraces the flock whose shepherd I Am …. It will only be one flock and one shepherd. It will comprise people of all denominations who have liberated themselves from all external appearances and who, due to their eagerness of living to please Me, are in intimate contact with Me. And I will graze My sheep …. in evergreen pastures, where no cliffs, no thorns and no pits exist anymore, I will be in the midst of My Own in the paradise of the new earth, for then there will be no separation between us anymore, My sheep will not flee from Me any longer, they will not leave their shepherd, for they love Me and don’t want to be without Me again.

You only have a little time left and should strive to enlarge your congregation, My true church, and therefore you should exemplify the right way of life to them, you shall give love and through love try to gain the children of the world who are oblivious of the strength of love …. give them much love, so that it will kindle the flame in their hearts, so that they will get to know the pleasure of giving and of happiness, so that they will join you and thus also seek to make contact with Me. Be a good example to them and try to motivate them into doing the same in order to test the strength of love and of faith. Show them the path to Me, draw their attention to the right relationship with Me, explain to them that they must see their Father in Me to Whom they must submit like children in order to be elevated to true children who shall come into the Father’s inheritance. And even if you can only gain a few it will nevertheless be a great merit to you, since the good shepherd delights in every sheep that once was lost and comes back to him, and thus I will also bless everyone who helps Me to increase My congregation before the final end has come ….

Amen

Souls in darkness suffer terribly. Their strength is depleted; it is a state of utter hopelessness as long as they don’t know about the strength of love, which can lighten their fate. They wander around, their will is lethargic, and they will remain in this agonising state for an extremely long time if they do not receive help through prayer. You humans on earth are able to help them if you lovingly remember such poor souls and would like to ease their plight. For only love will give them strength. A prayer without love is worthless; it is a mere formality without effect. Only the degree of love determines the amount of strength they will receive. And thus you have to visualise the fate of these poor souls and know that they will beseech you to give them strength once they have felt the strength of love. They depend on your help as long as they are still in the abyss, as long as they cannot increase their strength themselves through knowledge, which, in the beyond, consists of loving actions for other needy souls.

Every kind, compassionate thought for those souls eases their plight, they feel this and then remain close to you. They ask for your loving intercession by pushing themselves into your thoughts. Don’t forget them, don’t turn your thoughts away from them. Give them a loving prayer and thereby help them to ascend. Alleviate their torment and, most of all, demonstrate the power of love to them, so that their love for other distressed souls arises and, by helping these souls, that they can liberate themselves from their own hardship. Their surroundings correspond to the state of their soul, dark and desolate, and when a prayer for these souls rises up to God a faint state of twilight occurs which gives the soul a glimmer of recognition and benefits the soul after the constant darkness. The degree of love in the intercession determines the brightness of light emanated into the darkness, and the soul turns towards the ray of light always expecting and pleading for more rays. Grant them their wish, don’t leave them alone in their need, and give them the help which you are still able to give to them. But also bring the Gospel to them in thought, remind them that they should lovingly consider others in their environment and help them to receive a blessing of light as well by giving to them in turn what they received from you. You can alleviate immeasurable amounts of suffering, you can participate in the redemption of these souls because the gift of strength through your prayer affects their will which then becomes active in the right way. The soul uses the strength it receives to lovingly help other poor souls, and it begins its ascent for which it will be eternally grateful to you ….

Amen

Everything has to be called divine providence, for everything, even the smallest happening, has been predetermined since the start. It is God’s will that you should fully mature on earth. And therefore everything has been arranged very prudently so that time and again you will have the opportunity to develop further. Your will is also decisive for the shaping of your earthly life, for God foresaw your will an eternity ago and accordingly laid out every individual person’s course of life. The inhabitants of the spiritual kingdom of light are God’s spiritual assistants and take care of people in accordance with their degree of maturity, and thus they are God’s representatives and serve every individual person as spiritual guardians according to God’s will. They intervene in earthly life with their teaching methods, they give to and deny people as is most beneficial to them. Thus they have authority from God to please people with gifts just as they might lead people to maturity through failures. Although this, too, always happens according to God’s will they are nevertheless allowed freedom of activity as soon as the human being trustingly appeals to them for help. They are able to grant this request or deny it, and their great love for people will always get it right, since they are as one with divine will. Nevertheless, calling upon the beings of light is an assured means of help, for the beings of light are exceedingly tolerant in their love for people, they rarely deny people a request if the aim of their request is not obvious wrong-doing. And God will give His approval, regardless of how the beings of light decide, for they always share the same will with God. However, if it endangers the human soul the light beings will be adamant, for the danger to the soul must first be over before they can become receptive to a person’s request and intervene helpfully. But then the light beings’ activity will be evident, then the human being will be able to undertake anything, he need not fear any failure and earthly life will become easy and bearable for him, because his guardian angels grant him support and he can entrust himself to them in every way but without ever excluding God, instead, heartfelt dialogue with Him should precede every appeal to the beings of light, so that the will of the latter is always God’s will and the help is always recognisable ….

Amen

I want you to become blessed …. My aim is not earthly bliss, for earthly life is only short compared to eternity. But you shall be granted an eternal life of bliss, and this eternal life shall be the price for your probation on earth. Nothing on earth shall seem desirable to you anymore, your gaze shall be directed towards life after death, and if you can give up everything with a light heart you will be ready for eternity. Your heart must be able to detach itself from earthly things, you must be able to sacrifice what is dear to you on earth, you must strive with all your heart and soul for what belongs to the spiritual kingdom, goods which are denied to you by the earthly world, which no-one can offer you but Me alone and which I offer you because I want to make you blissfully happy. Learn to value spiritual goods and despise earthly goods …. and be certain that I will provide you with the earthly goods you need in order to be able to fulfil your earthly task. Make yourselves completely My own and I will take care of you in every way, I will provide for you earthly and spiritually and not let you go hungry, yet in order to become blissfully happy your soul first requires spiritual nourishment which will ensure its life in eternity. You humans put earthly needs first and believe that you cannot exist without over-anxious worry …. But I know that you lack spiritual nourishment much more, and you have to strive for this yourselves because I cannot impose it on you due to freedom of will. Earthly food and earthly drink only ever sustain your body for a short time and can never prolong your earthly life if I call you away from earth. Spiritual nourishment, on the other hand, ensures your eternal life …. And what you have once received in spiritual nourishment will never ever perish or become ineffective; you take it with you into eternity and build your life on it. In order to be able to live eternally in beatitude you also have to carry out a pleasing activity and therefore need capital with which you can work, which you can distribute to those in need, you need spiritual wealth which does not diminish but always increases the more you give of it. And I want to give you this spiritual wealth so that you will become eternally happy. But you can only accept it if your heart is completely empty, where My treasures can spread out, for spiritual treasures are not compatible with earthly treasures, a heart cannot contain both, and it is up to you which goods you want to keep your heart free for. But if I love you and want you to become blissfully happy, I, as a wise father, must also advise My children and help them to cleanse their heart chambers of unsuitable goods which displace the true treasures and make it impossible to receive them. And thus I will help you to detach yourselves from what the world offers you, what your heart still desires but is a hindrance to you for eternal life …. And therefore consider all earthly failures as an aid on My part to detach yourselves from the world and its illusory goods, recognize My care in it which only applies to your final aim of making free, exceedingly happy beings out of you who will know no more sorrow and worry in eternity but will only ever be blissfully happy and live …. i.e. be continuously active in loving activity. I want you to become blissfully happy, I want to be able to provide you with spiritual nourishment because you need it for eternal life ….

Amen

In My name you shall be active …. This necessitates a complete detachment from earthly things, and thus My servant’s path on earth must always lead more and more away from the world, the internalization must increase and thus result in the increased working of the spirit. And this will always be connected with trials and renunciation so that the soul will detach itself more easily and only strive for more spiritual contact, so that it will mature in realization, in knowledge which corresponds to truth and which is conveyed to it through spiritual activity. If this is therefore understandable to you, you must also recognize from the increasing adversity and distress that the hour has soon struck when you should be active for Me and My kingdom. You must keep yourselves ready and pay attention to My word that you are close to the end, that the time of your overall activity is only short and that I will soon appear and initiate the last act, as it is foretold through My spirit. Report all this, for the hour is near, keep reminding your fellow human beings that I constantly point you to this day so that they will see when it comes, as I have proclaimed. And take every word seriously, for I have chosen you to be My representatives on earth, and you should firmly and steadfastly believe that everything will come true and that My plan has been determined since eternity. Through your faith you shall influence people such that they will also seriously consider a sudden change of their situation, that they will think about a quick end and seriously prepare themselves for it. And if you make My word heard to them, never forget to encourage them to increase their activity of love so that they will be able to recognize and believe the truth of My word …. Love must always and constantly be preached to them, through loving activity they must gain strength if they are weak, and through loving activity alone they can become enlightened, thus they know the meaning and purpose of their earthly existence and their relationship as living creations to the eternal creator. They will never attain this knowledge intellectually, but a life of love gives them fullest realization. Time is pressing and therefore your mission is to be taken seriously, and you must not miss anything if you want to serve Me. But I assure you once again that you will be guided and that no path you take is of your own will, for great things are at stake, the final willingness to help is at stake, which you are still to bring to many erring souls, and I will lead you to those who need your help. And thus you can confidently hand yourselves over to My guidance until the end of your body, which will not be long in coming. For the time until the end is short and therefore it shall be used for eager activity for Me, and I will support you where and when you need help and give you strength to be constantly active for Me ….

Amen

Anyone who has committed himself to work for Me and My kingdom through the freely given vow to serve Me must enlighten his fellow human beings, for they live in complete ignorance, they go through earthly life ignorant and therefore do not evaluate life correctly. But it has been given to them for the purpose of maturing their souls, which can only happen if they …. truthfully informed …. work on the transformation of their being, if they change to love. But only truth can bring about this change, the knowledge of My fundamental nature and the relationship between Me and My living creations. And thus the transmission of pure truth is an urgent necessity and task of those who want to serve Me. Where people are who sincerely desire the truth I will also convey My word, and My servants will always have the opportunity to pass on their knowledge, and every opportunity is My work, My will. I know about people’s questions, I know about the individual’s receptiveness, I know about his desire for truth and I know about his strength of faith and his love, and accordingly I provide each individual with the truth but leave it up to him to accept or reject it. The spiritual gift has to be offered completely without constraint, otherwise the will to reject is too strong ….

(22.5.1948) But if I Myself approach people of good will in the word they will recognize Me, they will be touched by the strength of My word, they will not let it pass their ears but let it take effect within themselves, they will take a stand on it, and the truth will satisfy and make them happy. People of good will also live in love, and My word speaks to their hearts to the same extent as their hearts speak to Me through works of love. Therefore, bearers of truth should seek contact with people who are willing to love in order to make them more able to love through the transmission of the pure truth and to strengthen them in the difficult days that are still to come for each one of you. But bearers of truth should also try to bring the truth to people who go through life lukewarm and indifferent, without practicing works of love, without wanting to help their fellow human beings in serving neighbourly love, without desire for truth and striving for spiritual good. These are misguided and should be led onto the right path. They walk in darkness and should be touched by rays of light so that they feel the benefit of the light and expose themselves to its rays. The realization of truth is urgently needed for humanity, and My spirit will always be effective where the adversity is great and only the slightest possibility of rescue exists, where erring souls have not completely fallen prey to My adversary and the short time until the end can still bring about a change of thinking. I take care of them and send them My messengers who shall speak in My name and testify to My love, wisdom and omnipotence, so that people will learn to believe and turn to the one from Whom they once originated and to Whom they shall turn again of their own free will, so that they will become blessed ….

Amen

‘Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.’ These Words of Mine do not demand blind faith but stand for faith without proof, which I also expected of My disciples yet did not find. ‘Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed ….’ I Myself stood before their eyes, My miracles convinced them, they recognised My wisdom, and thus they believed that I was God’s Son and they followed Me. Their faith was indeed a convinced one, the inner voice told them who I was and their life of love, which was the reason why I chose them as My disciples, also gave them the power of realisation, and yet they often doubted Me; time and again these doubts surfaced and in order to strengthen them I revealed Myself to them many times, I showed Myself to them in My divinity, I illuminated their spirit, I opened their inner eye so that they were able to see the host of angels being of service to Me and thereby lose all doubt concerning My divinity. And yet their faith was weak …. I showed Myself with full strength, and they repeatedly wavered, so that I always had to reveal Myself anew, because they were intended to work as My disciples, because they were intended to advocate My teaching and bring the Gospel to people and therefore their faith needed to be deep. And because they saw Me, they believed …. But I call those blessed who do not see and yet believe …. For their faith is a far greater credit to them, as it cannot be proven, it can only be gained in the heart through activity of love, prayer and deliberation …. Although I also reveal Myself to them but in a way that only faith can recognise the manifestation as such and that without faith it can be rejected. I call him blessed if he acquires his faith, if he has no need of proof, if he only accepts the working of the spirit as proof, which can certainly also be doubted but which is recognised by a person who lives a life of love and who therefore will become blessed one day ….

Amen

You constantly receive currents of strength from the spiritual world in the form of instructions which expand your knowledge and thus make you able to teach your fellow human beings. Hence you receive spiritual possessions which you can pass on, even though they are not earthly tangible or matter to be earthly evaluated; but they are possessions which can never be diminished or expropriated from you, providing you don’t want to give them up yourselves, that the gift of grace from above is not disregarded, which would be the result of a way of life which contradicts My will. But anyone who once receives My word from above has mostly broken with the world, his thoughts and aspirations are only the treasures of the spiritual kingdom, and therefore his knowledge will always increase and his soul will strive upwards. The spiritual world and its inhabitants have greater influence on him than the earthly world with its sham goods, and the earthly course was not in vain. The strength which now comes to you from above is to be used, and therefore you, who are knowledgeable, should pass on your knowledge wherever the opportunity is offered to you. Then you will consciously work for My kingdom, then you will carry My word out into the world …. the seeds you scatter …. And they will fall on different soil and also bear different fruit …. Men will listen, but unimpressed the words will fade away in their ears, and the wind will blow away the seed …. people will be thoughtful for a short time, the meaning of My words will not completely escape them, although they will not move the word deep in their hearts …. few and light fruits will the field bear, but nevertheless the sowing will not have been entirely in vain …. and again people will be deeply touched by My word, let it go to their hearts, recognize its truth and make an effort to live according to My word, they will walk upwards, and the seed has brought forth a thousandfold fruit because it has fallen on good soil …. And therefore you, My labourers in the vineyard, should be diligently active and not pass by any field without having scattered the seed. You should speak in My stead and always bear in mind that I will not leave out any of My creatures if it is necessary to procure their salvation, and thus you should also make the salvation of your fellow human beings your concern, impart strength to them in the form of My word where it is appropriate, so that you will be abundantly provided for again from above, so that you will constantly receive and increase in wisdom which enables you to teach. You shall be My servants on earth, active on My behalf, you shall speak in My name, for My glory and for My kingdom …. and My blessing shall accompany you on all paths ….

Amen

A community of faith in the sense of Christ means the union of people who, through their way of life, through unselfish neighbourly love, have acquired such a living, profound faith that they understand everything Jesus taught on earth and therefore do not doubt a word, for the understanding of what God demands to be believed is always only the result of a correctly led way of life and will also always result in a living faith, the conviction of pure truth and therefore also of a consciousness of strength to be able to accomplish everything, which only has faith as its foundation. Such a community is the true church of Christ, it is the church which He founded on earth with the words: “You are Peter, the rock, on you I will build My church.” And this church will remain in existence, it will not be able to be shaken by the forces of the underworld when the last battle on earth will break out against faith. Then it will become apparent who belongs to this church, who possesses the strength of faith that he will not fall away when hell will storm against everything spiritual. Then only the truly loving people whose faith is a living one will stand firm, for the others will be too weak to resist. They will be deprived of everything they have understood about the church until now, every ceremony, every outward appearance will fall away, the places of ecclesiastical activity will be closed or destroyed, there will be no possibility to carry out the actions which seem important to them and they will seriously be confronted with the decision to confess for or against God. But the decision will not be difficult for those who have living faith, who can believe because they understand, while the others, still blind in spirit, have nothing to hold on to and fall away from God for the sake of their physical well-being, who surrender their faith because it was only a dead faith, a formal faith. But you, who belong to Christ’s church, should constantly promote this church, you should enlighten people and try to make the difference clear to them so that they will shape their formal faith into a living faith, you should show them the path to understanding what Jesus taught and encourage them to walk the path of love, which alone gives birth to a living faith and leads to full understanding of His word. Only this small congregation of the true church of Christ will survive the final battle, because every school of thought will be declared war beforehand and all its followers will lose who do not belong to the true church of Christ. But God will grant them His support, He will be in their midst, strengthen their faith, enlighten their spirit and give them strength to persevere until the end. And for the sake of this church of Christ He obviously works amongst people through His spirit …. He instructs them and conveys His word to earth so that His church will gain followers, so that they will be exceptionally strengthened by His word, which comes from above and is blessed with His strength ….

Amen

The most sublime moment in earthly life happens when a person audibly hears the Word, when he hears the expression of My love in his heart like a spoken Word. For then he will perceive My closeness like a flood of light which permeates his heart and is also perceptible by the person’s senses. The human being’s maturity of soul influences how the inner voice can be heard. He can freely enjoy the blissful sensation if his soul is already far advanced, but in a low degree of maturity he might still have fight against inner obstacles. Nevertheless, he must have attained a certain degree of psychological maturity, otherwise he would never be able to receive the grace of the audible Word …. Hence it is a process of a direct transmission of light and strength, the person is in such intimate contact with Me that I Am able to manifest Myself to him and be understood, which will never be the case with immature souls. But I must always stem My strength of love if the human being is to remain suitable for earthly life and not lose all earthly attachment due to his overwhelming happiness. And therefore I will only ever audibly manifest Myself for short periods of time until the end of the person’s course of life who is so close to Me that I will credit him with My speech.

However, during the time of the end I will need servants on Earth who will diligently work for Me, and I will reward their enthusiasm by revealing Myself to them such that they are no longer able to harbour doubts in their hearts because they are faithful to Me, because they believe without being able to see and work for Me in this belief. I want to stimulate them into working ever more diligently for Me but I will only be able to express Myself audibly if their faith has already become so firm that they unconditionally believe in My activity, that they had previously already heard the voice of the spirit and recognised it as My voice, for the audible Word must never compel them into believing since it is the culmination of a strong faith and, in earthly life, the most desirable state to strive for because it makes a person indescribably happy and the thought of it can render him insensitive to suffering and distress of an earthly nature. His happiness and his convinced faith also offer his fellow human being the possibility to gain a stronger faith, so that his activity amongst people is extremely richly blessed and that every work he tackles will be accomplished by him. His fellow human beings can certainly doubt him but anyone who audibly hears My Word within himself will no longer be able to doubt. And thus I reward the love and loyalty of My servant who stands up for Me and grant him the kind of happiness on Earth which the world cannot offer him ….

Amen

You cannot go beyond the limits of your creativity without the supply of spiritual strength. A human limit is set for you, i.e. the body is only capable of carrying out the will according to its biological composition, thus the divine law of nature always underlies a person’s ability and achievements. However, this only applies to the human being who does not desire divine power supply, i.e. does not request it …. whose power is limited …. It is different with those who are in contact with the spiritual kingdom, who may request and receive strength at any time according to their will and their connection with God. Through their connection with God they abolish the limits of creation, they are not subject to the laws of nature, so to speak, but are above it because it is God’s will. They can accomplish everything …. but the fact that they do not accomplish it despite this mentioned prerequisite is due to their weakness of faith, and that is why it can so rarely be proven that the human being can do everything despite his physical limitations of strength. He lacks faith, and thus he sets limits for himself where he could exceed them. He therefore certainly has the will but not the faith, but without faith the extraordinary strength cannot be given to him because he may not be forced to believe. A distinction must be made between physical and spiritual strength …. The former is the vitality which every human being has at his disposal, albeit differently, and which is a special gift of grace in the last embodiment on earth. The human being only pays attention to this natural strength and does not think about how he could increase it, but accepts the fact that it decreases or increases depending on age or health. However, he can increase this vitality at any time through spiritual strength, which is not arbitrarily given to the human being but is only received after certain preconditions have been fulfilled. This spiritual strength is available to the human being unmeasured but must be requested, i.e. asked for. But this can only happen in faith that it is both possible and certain through God’s love and that a prayer will never reach Him in vain. Only then will the human being request spiritual strength in the right way, and he will have unlimited access to it. The human being must imagine that he, as a tiny particle of the eternal deity, also participates in His might and power, as soon as he does not live in opposition but in harmony with God. And this certainty will also let him believe that every measure of strength is given to him which he can now use according to his will. There is only a restriction of creativity for people who live outside of God, for they only have their physical strength at their disposal. But anyone who lives in God and with God will be able to accomplish things which go beyond human ability as soon as he firmly and steadfastly believes ….

Amen

Do not let any opportunity pass you by when you can be active for Me and My kingdom, when you can speak about that which My spirit reveals to you. Questions will be raised which only you will be able to answer, and a multitude of opinions will be voiced, but you will be able to uphold only the right ones with conviction, for only you know the truth, only you are taught by Me and therefore need not fear any objection to the contrary since, on account of your knowledge, you will recognise every wrong point of view. However, your task consists of providing the impetus for spiritual debates, of not being afraid to speak, of always regarding yourselves as My servants who avidly work for their Lord, and of always being mindful of your mission. If you are inwardly impelled you should give in and do what your heart tells you to do, and if you desire to speak, then speak, for then I Myself will urge you to do your spiritual work. It will always be My will that you should mention My Word from above, it will always be My will that people should exchange their thoughts regarding spiritual questions, and I Myself will always give you the impulse for this and pave the way for you, that is, I will direct people’s thoughts to problems which I Am willing to explain. Thus you may always be certain that I Am present during all spiritual conversations and that I will guide your thoughts in the right direction and enable your mouth to speak and provide your intellect with the correct power of judgment. Therefore you can talk freely and you will always speak according to My will, for you are merely My tools through which I express Myself. But don’t be hesitant and remain silent when it is necessary to talk. And you will be successful; your discussions will greatly contribute towards clarification and encourage people to voice their opinions which will always result in My light beings’ intervention by trying to exert their influence. Then you will have ploughed the field first and distributed the seed which is to yield good fruits.

Amen

In the fusion with Me you will find the highest happiness. The spiritual spark in you seeks to unite with the eternal father-spirit, but it is prevented from doing so by the soul and the body as long as they are still worldly-minded, that is, their striving contradicts the spiritual striving. Then the soul is stronger than the spirit insofar as the spirit does not have a compelling effect but lets the soul determine and withdraws. Therefore the soul first has to be won for the same striving, it has to join the spirit with its desire in completely free will, only then can the spirit work in the human being, and only then will the human being’s connection with Me be established. But the union of the soul with the spirit is the result of the working of love. To perform a work of unselfish neighbourly love is first of all a turning away from the world, i.e. a voluntary renunciation of something belonging to the world, as soon as the work of love is about the distribution of earthly goods. But if it is help of a different kind, then self-love always takes a back seat, and this is an act of worldly renunciation, a moment of the soul’s insertion into the will of the spirit, which impels the soul to deeds of love. If the soul gives ear to the spirit then it has won it over for itself, and then the union with Me can also take place, Who is in most intimate contact with the spiritual spark, for it is My share and remains My share for eternity. Thus, something which was previously outside returns to Me again through love …. Again and again I want to make people understand why love can never be excluded from the soul’s ascent; again and again I want to explain to them how the working of love influences the soul’s union with the spirit and thus with Me, and again and again I want to make clear to them the significance of merging with Me, of the spiritual marriage, and give them the beatitude on earth already which results from this union with Me. But the human being is too earthly minded and only values the tangible goods attainable on earth; but he ignores the spiritual goods because he does not believe in the soul’s continuation of life after death and because only this belief makes him consciously strive for spiritual goods. And yet, I will not let up and again and again speak to people in the word and again and again instruct them to strive for unity with Me. For in the stage as a human being the spiritual in him is capable of realization, but his will alone determines to what extent he evaluates the ability of realization. And I don’t force this will but help it to decide ….

Amen

The time will weigh heavily on you, yet you will walk lightly over all obstacles by My hand, for I Myself spread My hands under your feet, I smooth the path you have to take and am always with you with My strength and grace. For anyone who is willing to serve Me and takes his work for Me and My kingdom seriously can expect support from Me in every situation of life, he will not be disappointed. The time is approaching its end and demonic forces are affecting people with excessive zeal in order to draw them down into the kingdom of darkness. And you should counteract them, you should give light where darkness exists, you should teach people to believe in Me so that they will come to Me when My adversary oppresses them, so that they will look for help from Me which will also become certain for them; you must point fellow human beings to Me and inform them of My love. Again and again I ask you for this service to fellow human beings because they have mercy on Me in their unbelief and spiritual darkness. But the enlightenment must come through the mouths of men, for they would not bear My word from above without perishing. And therefore I do not speak to them directly but through you, and the closer the end is the more urgently. They shall hear My word through you and recognize My power through the coming event. They shall be pointed to Me through My word and through suffering which is imposed on them by Me in order to let them find the path to Me. And thus suffering will befall the whole earth, everyone will be affected in a different way, yet anyone who serves Me, who therefore wants to help Me to bring light into the darkness, will survive the difficult time as if in a dream, he will be guided and cared for by Me so that he will clearly recognize My reign from everything, so that he will feel My care and fully trustingly hand himself over to Me and My grace. His path will be even despite all obstacles, his spirit will be bright and clear despite the deepest darkness which is spread across the earth, and he will serve Me with joy, the work for Me and My kingdom will fill him with strength and he will be active for Me until the end ….

Amen

The interaction of force and resistance must show itself in light phenomena of whatever kind, or also …. every generation of light is the result of the counteraction of two forces, from which it can be concluded that positive and negative forces are absolutely necessary in order to bring about the light of the sun which outshines everything. The light of the sun has such an important distant effect that people on earth can certainly see and feel it but can never determine its origin because they will never fathom the nature of the sun and will therefore always draw wrong conclusions. Light phenomena on earth always have causes connected with matter, and therefore the same or similar causes are also attributed to the light of the sun. The sun, however, is not a material world, even though it is visible to people and is counted as such in research. It is a purely spiritual heavenly body, a creation which certainly exists, thus it is called into existence by the will of God, but which has no material substances and can therefore only be seen with the spiritual eye, whereas the earthly eye can only see the exceedingly radiant brightness and be dazzled by it. The light of the sun is of such tremendous effect that it must be concluded that it has an origin which lies far beyond human knowledge. A process is taking place in the universe which is only comprehended by a few enlightened people; to a certain extent a gate is open where the activity of the spiritual becomes visible; it is the struggle of the beings of light against the darkness, the counteraction of forces which unfold the utmost energy in order to assert themselves, in order to gain victory over the opposing force. A spiritual creation with all its inhabitants openly confronts the darkness and from there continues to have an effect on it. It is like a perpetual unfolding of the highest tension of two poles, and the effect is a fire that is incomprehensible to human beings, a source of light of undreamt-of strength …. It is an emanation of the light emanating from the perfect spiritual beings into the universe, it is spiritual strength which is visibly guided as light wherever there is darkness in order to create the possibility for the still undeveloped spiritual to return into the proximity of the eternal light. It is an emanation which certainly has a similarity with earthly produced light, which is luminous in highest potency, whereas earthly light has a limited luminosity, as everything in the material world is limited. Forces that work against each other, if they fight fiercely, must then ignite when they are unyielding, that is, of insurmountable hardness, otherwise one force defeats or consumes the other. Now here are the most distant opposing forces at work …. highly perfect beings from the spiritual world permeated by God’s strength and the forces of darkness, which still dwell unbound in the universe and seek to destroy everything that is to be addressed as divine creation. But nothing is within their reach. Their power is enormous, and so they proceed against those forces where they expect the hardest resistance, where they can let off steam and believe they can destroy what resists them. They abhor the light and want to extinguish it. The perfect beings, however, want to break through the darkness. This struggle of light against darkness is, however, at the same time the preservation of the entire earthly material creation. For forces come to development that multiply infinitely and push towards utilization …. and the utilization is only to awaken to life that which has been overcome in the struggle, to make it possible for that which has hitherto become inactive to become active through the supply of strength when it exposes itself to the working of the light. Thus the positive and negative forces constantly generate life, their struggle is visible through the light of the sun, but it is not an earthly explainable firepower which causes the extraordinary radiation, but the light of the sun is only visible in the earthly sphere when it touches the earthly material sphere as well as the spheres of those heavenly bodies which lie in the sphere of the sun and are fed with its luminosity. For these are the kingdom of the bound spiritual, which is allowed to take cognizance of the battle between light and darkness in order to draw benefit from this knowledge for the course of development. For this reason, however, no research can be undertaken beyond these spheres …. i.e., the cause of the sunlight can never be determined by research, because outside of the earthly sphere there is no further for the human intellect, because it exceeds the human being’s power of thought, nothing can be proven but only what God reveals to people through spiritual enlightenment has to be accepted by faith. Research begins where it is actually already at an end. Everything earthly can be researched, beyond that the earthly intellect is not sufficient, and through earthly drawing of parallels it becomes entangled in error. For the spiritual world …. the world outside the earthly sphere …. is a completely different world with other laws and other effects, into which a person should never stoop in research if he does not want to fall prey to error ….

Amen

I will come to fetch you from utmost distress, as I have promised. There will be great adversity, and anyone following your destiny will recognise that only your strength of faith keeps you going, otherwise you would be too weak to bear up to the threats and violent actions by your enemies against whom you are completely defenceless. Yet only defenceless on the part of people, however, I will stand by your side as protection and this certainty must render you immune to all hostilities. This great adversity will only last for a short time, then I will come personally in order to fetch My Own into My kingdom and prepare them for life in the paradise on the new Earth. If you are strong in faith, if you attach significance to every one of My Words, then the final adversity will come to an end for you and, in the hope of My speedy arrival, you will stoically endure everything and wait for Me. And I will definitely come …. I will not leave My Own in distress, I will come when no earthly way out can be seen anymore; I will appear suddenly, only visible to My Own, and all My faithful followers will call out to Me. Rejoicing and cheering My Own will blissfully and happily rush towards Me and raise their hands to Me. Whoever believes will be saved, for he will persevere even if the world is full of devils …. he knows that the hour of deliverance will come, he knows that I will not leave him and that all devils are powerless against Me. He will wait for Me and I will reward his profound faith with the greatest prize, with a new life in the paradise on this Earth. Why won’t I take him to Me into the spiritual kingdom? Anyone who passes this final test of faith and recognises Me will be suitable to form the root of a new human race and a new generation will come forth from him, for the Earth shall be populated again with spiritually highly advanced people who will live their life for Me and with Me. And I Myself want to rear these people …. All people’s degree of maturity is known to Me but especially of those who in the end will fight for Me against Satan. Such people are required by Me as progenitors for the new Earth. I will bless them, both physically and spiritually, and the new Earth will become a paradise-like abode for them, children and children’s children will be in heartfelt contact with Me and the human race will be full of love. A new period of development will start again with spiritual beings embodied as human beings who are close to maturity and longingly strive towards Me and rapidly achieve final maturity of soul on earth. For the last days on the old earth will very quickly have matured the spiritual substance which was shortly due to be embodied as a human being, because it had fought the battle between light and darkness and the final destruction of the old earth had temporarily released it. Since it had not yet attained the maturity to be free, it experienced this as pain, so that it will find the new form comforting and eagerly strive upwards, even though during the preliminary stage it will be unconscious of this success. For this reason, people will live in most wonderful harmony with all creations in their environment; the mineral, plant and animal world will entirely fit in with people’s needs, profound peace will reign in nature as well as in the human heart, people’s joyful togetherness with Me will make them the most blissful beings, My love will smooth their every path and their hearts will beat for Me with ardent love and all adversity will be forgotten …. And this time is not far away, soon I will come and fetch My community of brides, the great adversity will soon be over, for My promise must fulfil itself …. I will return in the clouds to fetch My Own and to judge the living and the dead ….

Amen

And time and again I say to you: You will experience the end …. It is an urgent wake-up call which I send to people who presently inhabit the earth, it is a call which I will still intensify because you need to let go of your conviction that you still have much time left, because you need to spend thought on a sudden end and try to come close to Me. You have only little time left and very soon will be startled out of your calm, fear will enter your hearts which you can only banish by calling upon Me, by faithful prayer, which will provide you with strength and composure. The time is fulfilled, and even if you resist this thought …. you must prepare yourselves for whatever the end entails. It is you who will experience the last battle, who ought to win it; it is you who will experience the last Judgment, who will either see My coming in the clouds and the homecoming of the righteous or the final act of destruction take place, depending on your attitude towards Me, depending on your will and your love. It is you who must make a decision since you will not be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond after your death if you side with the adversary, but you will have to repeat the process through the creation of the new earth according to My eternal counsel. Do not expect the end in the future, get used to the idea that the present time will lead to the end, that you will be affected and that everything will come upon you as seers and prophets predicted according to My will. I can only ever draw your attention to it and as confirmation of My Word speak to you from above, and I will implement it shortly because there is not much time until the end.

I will inform you, whose will to serve Me made you My Own, once again of this just before the end, so that you will not experience the day unprepared, for even though you believe that My Word is truth you are still not taking My prediction seriously enough, you are still counting on a reprieve and not on My speedy arrival which, however, is about to happen to you. Yet you will yearn for My arrival when the time of the battle of faith comes and you enter the last stage of this earthly period. Then you will have learned to despise the world, you will have no further desire for earthly possessions, you will only yearn for My Word, and I will also always be with you in the Word and comfort you until the day when I will appear in the clouds, when your adversity has reached huge proportions and help can only come from Me. You must take it for granted that you will experience this time if I won’t recall this or that servant of Mine prematurely, according to wise judgment. You will all be surprised as to how quickly events will unfold, which I predicted long in advance through the voice of the spirit. And once I appear the end will come upon you with giant strides. Anyone who is profoundly faithful will inwardly rejoice despite hardship and suffering, for he will know that he will be compensated one day, that sooner or later all adversity will have an end and that a new era will start again with the paradise, as I have promised ….

Amen

It is of decisive importance for people which relationship they establish with Me and how they fit into the order of eternity which is founded on the law of love. The human being has freedom of will, he is not forced into his relationship with Me. He certainly belongs to Me inseparably but by virtue of his free will he can also revoke this bond of his own accord, yet by doing so he also decides his fate in eternity. The spiritual being already wanted to accomplish the separation eternally ago, and this will was enough to make the spiritual being sinful, although the separation cannot take place eternally. But the being must now also feel the effect of a separation from Me as a just punishment for its wrongly used will. But the state of separation will only be lifted when the being, the spiritual being embodied as a human being, approaches Me again of its own free will, when it establishes the right relationship with Me, that of the creature to the creator, that of the child to the father, when it therefore unites with Me again of its own accord and thus enters the order established by Me …. and fulfils the law of love. Its will must consciously turn towards Me, in order to be accepted by Me it must discard its previous resistance and humbly submit to My will. But My will is that the human being shapes himself into love, then all barriers will fall, then unification will take place, then the separation will be lifted, the gulf will be bridged, the spiritual spark will have united with the father-spirit and the meaning and purpose of earthly life will have been fulfilled. But in order to achieve this unification the human being must first be given the knowledge of his distance from Me due to his former arrogance of free will. Every individual creature is responsible for its sin as well as for its return to Me, for every individual being once attains the ability to know its relationship with the creator, and through the instructions, through the imparting of My word, the sin which separates it from Me and has caused the distance from Me will also be made clear to it. Hence he must first detest the sin if he has recognized it and then try to reduce the distance from Me by fulfilling My commandments in obedience to Me. Then he will come closer to Me step by step, then he will enter into the right relationship with Me …. he strives towards the one from Whom he originated and seeks to unite with Him …. But what is My commandment? I only demand loving activity because only through love can the bond with Me be established. And thus it follows that the human being’s sole striving on earth should be to live in love, that My influence on people will only ever consist of directing their will in the right direction, that they seek Me and approach Me in loving activity …. They must consciously strive towards Me …. This is so important because the state of separation cannot be remedied otherwise. And every individual must establish contact with Me himself, otherwise he will never be able to reach the aim …. Anyone who now understands this will also understand that the path to Me will be endlessly prolonged if one wants to reach Me in a roundabout way …. that the time of grace granted to the human being on earth will not be utilized if the direct path to Me is not taken but the human being turns to supporters who are to intercede on his behalf. Those who need a supporter lack the right relationship of a child with the father, and they will truly find it difficult to reach their aim, for earthly life is quickly over. My fatherly love wants to be distributed in abundance, but My right children are considered first who trustingly come to Me and appeal to Me for My love and grace. So how could I induce people to turn their thoughts towards a behaviour which certainly also seeks to win beings of light but does not put Me first? How could I make it My task to call upon these beings of light, Who wants to be called upon first, because the connection with Me has to be established if the human being is to reach his aim? The kingdom of light never influences people in the sense that a being of light, no matter how perfect it may be, is placed in the foreground. The beings of light will only ever work on My behalf and only ever try to influence people such that they join Me and comply with My will …. and this will only ever be to observe the commandment of love …. it will only concern a person’s inner shaping but never demand external actions or ceremonial custom s which affect the relationship with Me and have little advantage for the soul’s development. Come to Me like children and commune with Me, and I will truly tell you what I require of you, I will guide you without external visible appearances, I will be everyone’s faithful father Who helps you to reach the aim ….

Amen

It is a game of demons when gullible people’s vision is clouded by all kinds of appearances which are suitable for the spreading of error and untruth, which only serve to reinforce already existing misguided teachings and to push people away from the right path, the direct path to Me. It is easy for an awakened person to see through this game but difficult for people who already adhere to misguided teachings and are led by blind guides who lack all knowledge themselves and who do not desire the truth either but are satisfied with adopted spiritual knowledge without examining its origin. A chain of misguided teachings is made up of various wrong concepts, and to reinforce these misguided teachings people who advocate them will use any means, for they do not strive to bring light but to keep people in spiritual darkness …. And this is a great injustice, which is why I constantly include representatives of My pure teaching who speak out against untruth and error and try to enlighten their fellow human beings. My revelations never happen in such a way that My will is made known to underage children, instead, every revelation has the purpose of being spread for the benefit of all, for I only use one mouth in order to speak to all people through it. I will never ever command silence from those who are able to hear Me but instruct them to make My will known to their fellow human beings. My will is that people love each other and attain beatitude through love. If My will is not fulfilled, then the human being remains imperfect and cannot be released from his guilt of sin, which is attached to him and which he constantly increases through unkind actions. Another can never take his guilt upon himself or atone for it, because Jesus died for it on the cross, Who took humanity’s guilt of sin upon Himself in order to redeem it. The human being can indeed participate in Christ’s act of salvation by spreading Christ’s teaching of love as an example through an exemplary life of love and by awakening love in his fellow human beings, furthermore, he can participate in the redemption of erring souls by conveying the gospel, the pure truth, which everyone carries within himself who lives in love. He can also give strength to his fellow human beings through intercession from a loving heart, however, his will must always be willing to accept every flow of strength, for every person is responsible for his soul himself and this cannot be taken from him in any way, otherwise My justice would be called into question and all people would also be redeemed immediately, because loving beings of light always turn their love towards the unhappy, unredeemed and their strength would truly be enough to make all people blissfully happy. Every individual person has to find Me himself …. he has to recognize his guilt of sin and try to rid himself of it, he has to atone for it himself through eternities or let himself be redeemed by Jesus Christ by consciously acknowledging His act of salvation and asking for forgiveness of his sins …. (4.6.1948) A person’s love for his fellow human being can certainly plead for his conversion but only insofar as that he is granted extensive support from the spiritual side, that he is brought into situations of life by beings of light where he can change if he wants to, where his thoughts are directed towards people who live a right way of life, that he is granted every assistance to gain maturity of soul and also receives increased strength which intercession has acquired for him. But how he makes use of this strength is entirely his own will. That his sins can now be atoned for by loving earthly brothers and sisters is a misconception and only indicates the misunderstanding of My teaching, which was offered in full clarity but was often contaminated by humanly wrong ideas. If intercession is based on love it will never be without success, but the effect is different, for every person has to answer for his sins himself. And thus it is a perpetual misguidance to inform people of supernatural appearances which can never stand scrupulous scrutiny and can never be brought into harmony with the truth conveyed to earth by Me. It is demonic deception which found good breeding ground in people’s gullibility and their misguided thinking. For where I appear I do not come in pomp and splendour, yet recognizable to everyone who wants to recognize Me and is of good and pure mind ….

Amen
