Eating the bread and drinking the wine is a token of what you should be doing in order to become blessed …. You must consume bread and wine, that is, you must give nourishment to your soul, by ingesting the bread of heaven with its strength, by accepting My Word and withdrawing the strength from it, hence, by feeding your soul with the sustenance offered to you from above by My love. Thereby I wanted to explain to you that the soul needs as much nourishment as the body and that it must be fed in the same way as the body, by consuming bread and wine. Yet the consumption of nourishment for the soul at no time depends on an external consumption of bread and wine …. This was merely a comparison intended to illustrate to My disciples what they needed and what they should offer their fellow human beings in order to attain bliss. It solely concerns the life of the soul, and the fact that the soul does not require physical bread and physical wine is clearly self-evident. However, I have only ever had your spiritual life in mind, I only wanted to ensure your soul’s life and therefore will not demand external formalities where nourishment for the soul is instead sought in all sincerity. Your hunger and thirst for My Word is, by itself, enough in order to be satisfied by the bread of life which comes from heaven, which in truth is My flesh and My blood, which assures the soul’s survival, which permeates it with strength and thus provides it with eternal life …. The external intake of bread and wine can never provide nourishment for a person’s soul if he has no heartfelt desire for My Word, if he does not want to be fed by Me with the bread of heaven. For only he will come to Me and take communion with Me. He will let Me speak to him. He feeds the soul with nourishment which sustains it and makes it happy. Consequently, anyone who merely enjoys actual bread and wine cannot claim that he is My guest digesting sustenance for his soul at My table. Only people’s half-heartedness towards My Word made it possible to produce this misunderstanding of My Words and action, for as soon as the human being makes a serious effort to attain life for his soul, he will automatically understand the meaning of My Words, and then no person will ever be satisfied with merely performing an external act …. which seems to every thinking person a figurative comparison, which in fact it was …. The fact that the people of My church also maintained the external formality in the beginning was justified, insofar as in their heartfelt unity they always envisioned My presence, that they really congregated in remembrance of Me and together accepted My Word …. And I was in the midst of them and filled them with My spirit, thus they were My guests in truth with whom I took Communion …. I broke the bread and offered it to them ….

They heard My Word within themselves …. And they practised the same, they also distributed the bread …. they informed each other about what I revealed to them through the voice of the spirit. The first disciples understood the meaning of the external symbol, yet those who followed them already started to pay greater importance to the external symbol and this is how it remained, and only a few grasp the deeper meaning and take Supper with Me, because only a few connect with Me inwardly so that they have the desire to hear Me Myself, that My Word is so delectable and precious to them as to make them hunger and thirst for it, so that I can invite them to take Communion with Me, that I can distribute the bread of heaven and refresh them with the wine of truth for the salvation of their souls. Anyone who is so intimately connected with Me always lives in ‘remembrance of Me’, he will always allow Me to be present no matter where he is and what he does, thus I will also always be present with him as a guest at every actual meal, he will always remember Me and desire to feel My presence through My Word …. He will be so imbued by love for Me that he will also tell his fellow human beings and he will share what he owns, spiritual and earthly gifts, because he will feel impelled into actions of love as soon as he is inwardly in contact with Love Itself. Then his soul will constantly receive nourishment and also distribute it constantly, he will constantly communicate, he will stay in communion with Me and also be conscious of My presence …. Do understand, you humans, the act of Communion is not just a matter of a moment which is only carried out by the external consumption of bread and wine; understand that I expect more than merely a temporary commitment. Your heart must be completely prepared for My admission, an act of cleansing must have preceded it which only requires a life of love, and a loving person will also desire a sign of reciprocated love, he will desire to hear Me Myself speak …. and thus he will distribute first in order to receive from My hand a delectable gift in return …. My Word as nourishment for the soul is indispensable for him. And if he desires it he will indeed be fed, he will eat My flesh and drink My blood …. I will take Supper with him and he with Me ….

Amen

When you hear of the death of a worldly ruler you have arrived at the point you can call the beginning of the end. Then the world will turn into a place of fire, flames will blaze high, unbridled hatred will rage and humanity will be gripped by horror as it sees no escape from the inevitable peril.

And then I will urge you to speak, for whilst everything is in uproar great calm will take hold of you as you clearly realise that the time of My appearance is drawing near, and thus you proclaim it to those who will listen to you. People see themselves surrounded by enemies on all fronts and are therefore without hope for a peaceful solution. Hence those without faith in the only One Who can help will suffer immense fear.

Consequently they will only focus on world events …. People will anxiously attempt to provide for themselves as they see the approach of great earthly hardship; they will anxiously try to secure worldly goods and prepare for escape even though it seems hopeless to them. Only the faithful remain calm, and then I will use these to encourage their distraught fellow human beings who despair in their unbelief. I attempt to bring Myself close to them once more, I let My servants talk to them and through them I Myself speak words of love and encouragement. I warn them against escape and not just to consider their physical well being; I demonstrate the futility of their intentions and admonish them to persevere and put their fate in My hands; and thus everything takes it course ….

The fire is kindled and people will not extinguish it anymore, I will put it out Myself by opposing it with other elements, by confronting those Myself who want to tear each other apart …. And My voice will sound from above …. The earth will experience a natural disaster which will tear the fighters apart; they will be faced by a power which neither can match …. The process will only take hours but it will create a completely new situation in the world, totally changed conditions and an initially uncontrollable chaos, utmost earthly hardship and unspeakable grief and adversity amongst people.

Yet you all must endure this, for the end is approaching and many opportunities for purification still need to be created since all people have a shorter lifespan now and need to mature in the shortest possible time …. The end is near and as soon as this point is reached you also can, without doubt, soon expect the last day and the Last Judgment, so that may be fulfilled what has been proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….

Amen

It is enough for you to know that I constantly dwell among My own in spirit, that you are never alone if you profess Me in your heart and before the world. And if you are convinced of this, nothing can frighten you or make you waver in your faith. But this faith in My everlasting presence also makes you Mine who then also live in love because they believe in Me, or also believe deeply and vividly because they live in love. For faith without love is unthinkable because one emerges from the other. Faith can always be gained if a person makes an effort to be lovingly active without any self-interest, because this awakens the spirit in him which mentally instructs the person such that he is able to believe; that everything he is presented with, which is taught to him through My servants on earth or through My written word as truth of faith, is obvious to him. And therefore people who fulfil the commandment of neighbourly love must also always be of the same opinion in matters of faith, because My spirit teaches the same everywhere and because I prevent My own from disagreeing with each other. “Where two or three are gathered in My name, I am in the midst of them ….” And I will truly impart the truth to you and make sure that My own stand in the sole truth …. In the end time My own will be severely attacked and will have to answer for their thoughts and actions. Then you should just bear in mind that you are not alone in the face of hostile attacks, that you always have Me Myself by your side, that you need not fear what you should say and what words you should use to justify yourselves to those, for I Myself will put the words into your mouth as soon as you only stand up for Me and My teaching. Faith in My presence will always let you appear safe and fearless, you will not look for Me in the distance but always be certain that I am your constant companion and will not leave you alone in earthly or spiritual adversity. And thus you will stand firm in the final battle until you receive final redemption through My love ….

Amen

Spiritual strength is necessary if the human being wants to free himself from the state which is a bound state as a result of the past apostasy from Me. This spiritual strength is available to everyone but it has to be requested through prayer or acquired through loving activity. Thus the human being’s will must always have become active in order to make contact with Me. The human being can indeed accomplish works of love without conscious striving towards Me, without the intellect being involved, whereas the intellect is also active in prayer, which indeed produces a prayer without the involvement of the heart, which does not reach My ear, but in connection with the heart will always achieve what the human being asks for. Hence a call for the supply of strength, for My help, which comes from the heart, will always result in the supply of strength, and a person who is capable of intimately, i.e. in spirit and in truth, will inwardly feel urged to be lovingly active, for this is already My answer, proof of My spiritual strength flowing to him, that love awakens in him towards Me and also towards his fellow human beings and lets him carry out works of unselfish neighbourly love which earn him increased strength, and thus he can now redeem himself …. He breaks the shackle which has held his soul captive until now, it becomes free and now ceaselessly strives upwards, it pushes towards the spiritual kingdom, its true home …. it escapes the state of bondage, and it will use its will at all times according to My will because it has given up its resistance against Me. A thought turned towards Me can already earn you humans the strength to want what is right and to do what is right …. which is why you truly don’t have to accomplish anything difficult in order to initiate the release from the bound state, it is only ever your will to establish the connection with Me in your heart, yet you have to muster this yourselves or you will act under compulsion, which cannot earn you success. Ask for strength and you will receive, for if you want to mature spiritually you will not make a wrong request. I help you to achieve the aim of becoming free from every form, to become free from the bonds of satan in order to be able to enter the original state again, to work and create as light, powerful beings in all freedom for your own happiness ….

Amen

The gates into the spiritual kingdom will close with the last day of this earth’s existence. For the spiritual being, which as a human being did not pass the test of faith on earth, can no longer make up in the beyond for what it missed on earth but has deprived itself of this grace because it has sunk too low for an upward development in the spiritual kingdom to be possible. And likewise the believers will no longer enter the spiritual kingdom in the end, for they will be raptured while still alive in order to take up residence in a paradisiacal place until the work of transformation of earth is completed, which will then be assigned to them again as their abode. Then the battle between light and darkness will also be over for a long time in the spiritual kingdom because satan’s power will be broken and he will be put in chains again for a long time, which will also have an effect in the spiritual kingdom as a stillness of battle and victory of the light-filled spiritual. But in the last days the spiritual kingdom will still receive many souls who will be granted the grace to continue their upward development, who will therefore still be recalled from earth before they join the adversary’s camp; who are too weak and therefore find grace before the eyes of God. The end time will still contribute much to the purification of such souls, and the great suffering which passes over the earth makes it easier for them to depart from the world and opens the gate for them into the spiritual kingdom which receives them, albeit still in a less mature state. But a sinking into the deepest depth is no longer to be feared for them, for which they thank God as soon as they recognize their situation. But in the end the gates will remain closed …. and it will be astonishing how carelessly people live in the last days, how little they think of death and how they only live for bodily pleasure and neither believe in a soul nor in a continuation of life after death …. And when this time has come all ascent development of the soul will also be excluded, neither on earth nor in the beyond, because faith in God will be completely extinguished and spiritual life will be completely eliminated. Then the last day will surprise people who see their physical end coming with horror, who, facing death and without faith, are completely desperate and rage against each other like devils …. Then the unkindness of the individual will break through and the wickedness of men will reach its climax …. while the believers will only remember their heavenly father and await His coming in the clouds. Then there will only be people who are faithful to God and those who have become devils. And therefore the end must come so that an end will also be put to sinfulness and the faith of His own will be rewarded by God ….

Amen

No spiritual field is accessible to you in terms of research, and it will be a futile effort to get a true picture of what is beyond the earthly. Research-wise you can certainly solve all earthly problems and also obtain evidence for the correctness of your results, yet you will never succeed in providing evidence for spiritual assertions, and consequently you will also never be able to represent the truth of them as long as you have not penetrated areas on the path of faith and love which are otherwise closed to you. And thus people will never be able to fathom the correlations between earthly creations and the creator of eternity if they seek information about them by purely scientific means, just as they cannot investigate the human being’s course of development or his soul. They can only surmise and, according to their spiritual attitude, be more or less close to the truth. But there is no provable clue, according to which they could give clear reasons or assertions. This is a special knowledge which is imparted by God to those people who are in contact with Him through profound faith and active neighbourly love; it is a knowledge which can only be imparted to the human being in a certain degree of maturity and which has nothing to do with intellectual activity, which is therefore not gained through research but requires a self-forming towards perfection, although the intellect then also has to become active in order to utilize the gained knowledge correctly. The meaning and purpose of creation, the meaning and purpose of earthly life cannot be grasped with mere intellectual thought, and the greatest erudition is not able to approximately see through God’s plans, His wisdom and His love, whereas God allows the believing, devoted human being who submits to His will to gain insight and also gives him the ability to understand the divine plan. But then it is not the intellect but the heart which gains insight into God’s reign and activity, and therefore the earthly researcher first has to shape his heart such that it sensitively recognizes the truth, that it thus receives knowledge without intellectual activity which cannot be proven at all but which is nevertheless recognized as truth and may also be represented, because with truth the human being also gains the complete conviction to stand in truth. But then he will never be able to say that he arrived at the result through reflection or sharp intellectual activity, rather he will have no evidence to justify his assertions or assumption to the world. Yet he will believe it himself if he has received information through the voice of his heart, whereas he will never be able to inwardly advocate researched thought material as established truth if he is honest with himself, as long as he excludes God, thus does not acknowledge Him as the sole giver of truth and appeals to Him for His support ….

Amen

Divine wisdoms have to be sought deep inside the heart, for mere human intellect will neither be able to explain nor understand them if the heart is not involved in it. For this reason divine wisdom can only be received by people who live a profound inner life, who often withdraw into solitude, that is, who stop thinking about the world, about earthly worries and earthly plans, who enter into contemplation and try to fathom the kingdom which is beyond the earthly world. Such people are rewarded by God by granting them insight into the most concealed things, by allowing them to behold His sphere of activity, by informing them of His plan of eternity and by giving them at the same time the necessary comprehension to understand everything and to grasp the correlations. He tries to reveal to them the greatest mysteries, although the human being’s intellectual capacity is insufficient to receive a comprehensive explanation as long as he does not have the degree of maturity that allows him to be permeated by the light of wisdom. Yet with the person’s continuing development his intellectual capacity will improve and it is therefore indeed already possible to penetrate profound mysteries on Earth, and thus to take possession of divine wisdom, however, it will only be comprehensible to those who receive it, whereas another person will not know what to make of it because he has no understanding of the correlations between all works of creation with the eternal Creator.

Nevertheless, the more mature person should make an effort to also inform his fellow human being, because the knowledge can encourage another person’s spiritual striving and because light shall be brought into the darkness which is spread across humanity, which lives in total ignorance of spiritual truth and no longer recognises its purpose on Earth, just as it is unaware of the individual person’s final goal, which should be eagerly aspired to during earthly life. The question ‘Why do we humans exist?’ remains open to most people, they don’t even make an effort to answer it or to look for a suitable answer. They often pose this question but they never seriously desire an answer or listen to those who answer them, for they only ever let their intellect speak but never their heart …. that is, they don’t take any notice of their feelings which would be a clear answer for them. They drown out the voice of the heart and completely turn towards the world, hence they are incapable of receiving divine wisdom which necessitates a withdrawal from the world. And thus the world will remain dark and without light, since only a few people can receive enlightenment through the inner voice. But these few will be and remain happy, for they will take divine wisdom over into the spiritual kingdom where it originated from, while the others will enter the realm of the beyond in profound spiritual darkness because they failed to look for the light on Earth ….

Amen

You cannot justify yourselves in any way if you are accused of having rejected the truth, for you were entirely free to accept it if you had the will to do so. The truth will be conveyed to you, for I will make sure that it is conveyed to each individual, albeit in different forms, and depending on his willingness to accept it his knowledge of the pure truth will be expanded. But anyone who shuts himself off cannot gain anything, he can only lose the little he possesses. He who is weak in faith will gain increased faith by receiving the pure truth, but he who rejects it will also lose his weak faith …. “He who has much will still be added to, but he who has little will also still have the little taken away from him…” This is how these words are to be understood. The human being does not lack the power of judgment when it comes to recognizing the truth as such, for since I Myself want you to know the truth I will also enable you to recognize it, only your will has to be willing to accept the truth from My hands, and you declare this willingness by making it your business to examine what is presented to you, by mentally dealing with it, by considering the pros and cons and thus expressing the desire to accept the truth if you recognize it as such. And then I will guide your thinking correctly, then you will only win but never lose. And you will be held accountable for how you have behaved towards the presentation of My word, the pure truth. I truly constantly give you the opportunity to gain knowledge of My will, again and again you are referred to My word, you can accept it everywhere if you desire it yourselves. Yet because you are material My word is troublesome to you, after all, it warns you against striving for matter and admonishes you to overcome it. But you attach your heart to the goods of this world and therefore don’t want to know anything about what comes from the spiritual world …. Your will fails or is wrongly directed where it could just as well be rightly directed. And for this you will be called to account and no-one will be able to say that they have remained ignorant of My word and My will ….

I will be your judge where I wanted to be your father because you reject My love and do not listen to My word. But I can only act as a judge if I find fault with you, and this consists of you not acknowledging Me as father and therefore also not respecting My word. You have therefore deprived yourselves of the right of childship, then I can no longer act like a father towards you but have to face you as a judge and condemn you because of your will which has turned away from Me. And thus I urgently warn you against disregarding My word, a gift which My great love offers you, which you do not deserve as creatures still resisting Me but which I nevertheless give to you in order to help you recognize Me and learn to love Me. But if your rebelliousness is still so pronounced that you flee from My voice or try to drown it out, then you are not My true children either, then you still belong to My adversary, and therefore I hold court over you …. And you will be found guilty, your rebelliousness will result in Me turning My back on you, that the distance between Me and you will become ever greater and this will result in a hardening of your substance, that you will become matter again which prevented you from accepting the spiritual, My word from above. And you are judged because you yourselves did not want it any other way ….

Amen

What I don’t want to give you you cannot acquire by your own strength unless you work with the support of the one who wants to ruin you and therefore fulfils your earthly wishes in order to win you over for himself. And therefore you have to choose between prosperity, which you create for yourselves with his strength, or a modest existence which serves your soul as long as you are still materially minded. Once you have overcome matter so that your heart no longer longs for it, then I can provide for you more abundantly and you will also utilize earthly wealth in the right way so that it can serve you for your soul’s maturity, so that you utilize it in active neighbourly love, so that you thereby create blessings, give to the poor and thus alleviate hardship and awaken love by giving love. Therefore don’t grumble if you have to live in want but know that you then still need purification, that I want to educate you and have to use the remedy which heals you where you are ill. And then strive to practice voluntary renunciation, gladly renounce and detach yourselves in your heart from what I withhold from you, become free from all desire for matter, and I will consider you according to your maturity of soul so that you will not harm the soul if fulfilment is granted to the body. What you gladly give up and sacrifice for My sake I will give to you so that your life will become easier, yet only when you are willing to do without it …. Then I will know that it no longer means danger for you and can safely let you take possession of earthly goods which you will then also use according to My will. But don’t give yourselves into satan’s hands for the sake of earthly goods, for the sake of the body’s well-being …. Earthly life will soon pass and you will have to leave everything behind which you have acquired with his help, and then you will be in his power for eternity and he will demand the tribute from you …. you will have to pay dearly for earthly goods, the soul will have to atone for what the body enjoyed on earth …. I will protect you from this if I deny you what you long for ….

Amen

My rule and activity will always remain incomprehensible to people who are not united with Me, for I cannot explain to them the motives which determine Me to give people free rein if they want to sin. Everything I do, everything I refrain from doing and everything I allow or prevent has its reason which you humans don’t know and also don’t understand without explanation. But I can only give this explanation under certain conditions, just as everything that happens is adapted to the eternal order, of which I Myself am the lawgiver. I could certainly prevent people from doing bad deeds, I could punish them or make them mute servants of justice, but then their will would be unfree, they would not be capable of their own will and not of their own action and could then never become perfect, i.e., despite the possibility of being bad, to choose the good and thus to express the will turned towards Me. I therefore allow people’s impulses free rein. The fact that in the infinitely long time humanity predominantly lets itself be carried away into bad actions which betray diabolical influence is only proof that the whole of humanity makes bad use of free will, that it therefore does not make use of the possibility to turn to the good and thus contradicts My law of eternal order …. (3.12.1948) Nevertheless, I will only put a stop to this activity when the measure of wickedness has reached its limit, when there is no longer any possibility that people will change, that their will can still be diverted, that it will turn to Me, thus to good. But as long as there is still the possibility that one or the other will change his mind, that he will become aware of his purpose of earthly life, I allow what people want to do in their hatred and unkindness, so that they themselves learn to recognize and detest evil by the effect of their actions, so that they voluntarily change. Moreover, the time has come when satan has great power. Not that he trumps My might and power, but his last time has also come, which he uses to increase his kingdom, his power, because he knows that he only has little time left, but in his spiritual darkness and arrogance believes that he can overthrow Me from the throne. Anyone who does not know about the original beginning and final aim of all spiritual things, about My eternal plan of salvation, about the meaning and purpose of creation and the meaning and purpose of earthly life, will also find the thought of a strong adversary of Me absurd, yet he can believe that two different forces are at war with each other, that good and evil forces fight for supremacy …. that these forces are now each subject to a strong will and that this will originates from one entity. How he names this entity is irrelevant, yet they work in infinity, even though their sphere of action is completely different …. unlimited with Me and kept within limits with My adversary, who is also dependent on My will despite his power. The fact that a battle is being waged between good and evil is obvious; the reason why it is being waged can only be explained to the spiritually awakened person, to the person who hungers for truth, yet he will always receive a truthful, convincing explanation if he strives for it and asks Me for it ….

Amen

It is truly not insignificant in which way My word is given to you, for the degree of love in which My word is offered is often decisive as to whether you accept or reject it. Everything that is handed out should be given with love, otherwise it does not speak to the heart but has to be accepted by the heart. A person filled with love gives in such a way that he awakens counter-love, and this is of utmost importance when My word is presented, because then full understanding is guaranteed as well as love is involved which brings about the awakening of the spirit. Without love My word remains dead and without understanding, it is spoken but has no strength because then it is just empty sound without life. If the human being wants to make his fellow human being happy, then love for his neighbour is already predominant, and what he then hands out penetrates the heart, is accepted there and, depending on his own will to love, felt as a valuable gift, as a gift of love. Where the giver’s love is recognizable, the will to reject will be weaker, for then the word will already emanate a strength to the recipient which he cannot and will not close himself off to. Therefore, the representatives of My teaching must be willing and active in love in order to be suitable for receiving My word from above and to make My word with its strength accessible to their fellow human beings, because the mere transmission of the external word remains without impression, thus it can very easily be something formal, a professional preaching of My teaching without life and thus also without spiritual success. Then My word is without strength because it is only heard with the ears but does not penetrate the heart. For only the soul feels the power, and that in the state of loving feeling and its response. Impulses which the human being as such hardly notices can cause the soul greatest happiness and not be felt by the body, and if the soul now hears My word in such a loving feeling it stands in the midst of the emanation of strength whose source I am …. If it is not willing to love itself and My word is offered to it in love, then the strength will also penetrate it and it will let itself be permeated by it without resistance …. The degree of love of the receiver and the giver greatly influences the effect of My word, and therefore attention must be paid to the fact that the spreading of My teaching must never take place through coercion or violent measures, but My true representatives must be patient, gentle, loving and yet eager if they want to be successful and be faithful servants to Me on earth. It is not enough that My word is only read out or brought to people’s ears with fixed phrases. It has to come alive if the preacher wants to help his fellow human beings with compassionate love, if he wants to guide them into truth and thereby into the right knowledge of Myself, and if his love opens the door of the listeners’ hearts. Then My word will be received by people, it will be perceived as divine, as truth and accepted, because its strength benefits the soul which recognizes the divine origin and feels drawn to Me through My word ….

Amen

The path you should take is passable as soon as you direct your gaze heavenwards, as soon as you desire to reach Me and have no other desire in your heart than to be united with Me again. I truly do not demand anything unfulfillable from My children, I only warn them to take the broad path which certainly appears comfortable and easy but leads far away from the aim, which the children of the world take who lose themselves to My adversary. The path you should take is narrow and not very appealing, and therefore people hesitate to enter it, yet it leads towards a glorious aim which you all should reach. In addition, figures of light will often appear in your path to guide you and draw your attention to obstacles, to stones and cliffs and undergrowth, so that you will not fall or be harmed by them. You can walk this arduous path quite carefree, whoever has entered it will not go a step further without protection. But you must not look across to the broad path, because from there you will be blinded by illusions which will make your path appear dark. Avert your gaze from it, look up to Me and a mild light will illuminate your path, which will do you good and intensify the closer you get to the aim. And entrust yourselves completely to Me, then I will be able to meet you, take your hand and guide you until the end of your life …. until the path becomes wide and even and ends in your father’s house …. until the kingdom receives you, which is your true home, which is radiant with light and wonderful to behold, but which can only be reached via this narrow, arduous path. Difficulties have to be overcome, yet they can be overcome with My help, but what awaits you is worth all difficulties and hardships …. But the broad path leads into darkness …. it is beautiful and appealing as long as the human being walks on earth, but it leads astray and finally into a dark and sinister realm, into ruin. Avoid this path, don’t try to make your earthly walk easy for it is only short but life after death is endlessly long, and therefore strive towards the right aim and don’t let yourselves be deterred even if the path seems less appealing to you. Enter it and stretch out your hands to Me and I will guide you so that you will safely reach your aim ….

Amen

A spiritual bond can exist where no earthly ties exist but where the souls are so attuned to each other that they complement each other and live in fullest spiritual harmony. Such souls can find each other without being physically together, but then the human being is not aware of the fact that his soul has entered into such a spiritual union, for the souls find each other without the body’s involvement, it is a purely spiritual coexistence of which the human being as such knows nothing. However, as soon as the bodily cover falls, the souls strive towards each other and complement each other in the spiritual kingdom and never leave each other again. Such souls are now forced to lead a double life on earth; for the first time they fulfil the actual earthly task of enlivening their body and stimulating it to spiritual destiny, and at the same time they also help their like-minded soul to spiritualize its body so that the union of both souls can take place, which is only possible when both souls have left the physical cover. Before that, however, they can unite, as well as the body in the state of rest releases the soul …. So then the soul lives its second life …. it dwells in different surroundings, in a completely different life situation, it gives and receives love because it feels completely connected with the other soul. They strive upwards together, for as soon as a soul has spiritually found a second soul it is already advanced in its development, otherwise there is no harmony but only opposing defence ….

(6.12.1948) A person can certainly feel lonely because he is not aware of the soul’s bond, yet this feeling of loneliness contributes to the soul’s increased maturity again and the further it progresses in its development the more it can spiritualize itself, thus already on earth it can succeed in often dwelling in spiritual spheres and being raptured from earth. The soul then lives a life separate from the body, the body does not participate because its functions are switched off when it is in a state of rest. But it takes the soul’s abilities and achievements with it into those spheres and can therefore be a great blessing if it possesses much spiritual wealth itself, but it can also gain much because the soul connected to it also has spiritual wealth according to its state of maturity, which they can now exchange and thereby make each other unspeakably happy. Where such spiritual bonds exist every danger of flattening, of stagnation or decline is over, people constantly strive upwards, and this striving also lets them find each other even if they are unknown to each other as human beings. They strive towards a common aim, and in this striving the souls feel attracted to each other …. For the soul does not sleep but constantly pursues the light in its urge to ascend, and it often only reluctantly returns to its physical shell which, however, it does not completely leave in order to continue its path of earthly life until it is allowed to leave its material body and now completely unites with the soul to which it feels attracted ….

Amen

Constantly increase your knowledge and seek to gain it through Me. Then the darkness of night will be broken through, it will be bright in you, the light of knowledge will have flared up brightly in you, and if you recognize Me you will also love Me and keep My commandments …. Thus My word is the first and most important thing, for only My word can make you knowledgeable, only through My word do you learn to recognize and love Me, and only My word makes My will known to you and admonishes and warns you of good and evil. And thus you must listen to My word and go wherever it is offered to you if you do not receive it directly from Me. Although you can receive it everywhere, people are not willing to convey the pure, unadulterated word to people everywhere, and what is offered to them is no longer pure and unadulterated. But I want you to become knowledgeable and to be instructed in all truth. And so that you will recognize My voice when I speak words of love and wisdom to you, I will first make Myself known. I do not suddenly approach any of My creatures but prepare them for it by causing them through suffering to enter My succession …. thus to love and to suffer …. always with surrender into My will. Then the human being will also shape himself as it is God’s will, he will mature in wisdom, he will live in a state of knowledge. I Myself want to bless you with knowledge, I want to introduce you to My reign and activity so that you will learn to believe again in a living way. You must be offered faith in Me in a form that you are also able to believe, even though your intellect is also active in the process.

I Myself instruct you and kindle the light in your hearts which shall enlighten you in the midst of spiritual darkness and from My hands you will be able to receive extensive knowledge if it is your will and you ask Me for it, for I distribute the truth to all who desire it ….

Amen

Those who seek Me also understand My word, for their thoughts and aspirations are spiritually directed and thus they also understand the spiritual language which does not touch upon worldly things but informs them of the spiritual kingdom, of the human being’s spiritual life and its final aim. Anyone who seeks Me is not offered final fulfilment on earth but knows that the right life can only be found with Me, he knows that he is My share and therefore strives back to Me. And My word will be understandable to him, he will hear and read the meaning, he will know how I want My word to be understood and make an effort to live in accordance with the spiritual meaning of the word, and thus he will fulfil My will …. I tried to explain everything to people by way of examples, I made it understandable to them by way of images, and those who strove towards Me, who were good or made an effort to be good, understood Me. But the others were annoyed with Me because they took literally what was to be understood spiritually …. And thus people still interpret My word differently today, depending on their state of maturity and their will, which is turned towards or away from Me. Some only read the word and get stuck on it, they take offence because they don’t understand the profound meaning. Others again fearfully only follow the outer word, they are satisfied with earthly tasks without paying attention to the spiritual meaning. And thus these people do not derive the advantage from My word for their soul. For them My word means nothing more than what they themselves read from it in their ignorance, in their lightless state …. And they could draw an unspeakable amount from it, they could constantly draw from a source of strength which no other can match if they grasped My word’s spiritual meaning and lived accordingly …. Yet their heart decides …. this towards Me, then My word’s strength will also become effective in them, for then their will is, as it were, the key to the door of the heart through which I can enter and bring light into it, and the human being will recognize and know how I want My word to be understood. For the understanding of My word I make it a condition that the human being’s heart seeks Me, not just his intellect. And that is why there is much ambiguity among people, because mostly only the intellect is active, but it will get stuck if it does not question its heart. I will guide him through the heart into truth, I will make My word understandable to him, I will light a little lamp for him if only he asks Me for advice in his search and research, if he unites with Me in prayer or in thought …. if he seeks to recognize Me …. Then My word will no longer appear veiled to him, it will reveal itself in brightest clarity and speak to his heart, and then he will no longer need the written word, then I Myself will speak to him and he will hear Me ….

Amen

It is a special grace for you to know about the connection between you, as My living creations, and Me, the creator of eternity, about the purpose and aim of earthly life and My eternal plan of salvation. This knowledge explains everything that happens to you, whether it is sorrowful or joyful, whether it results in construction or destruction, whether it corresponds to My will or not. You will always be able to follow My rule and activity and also enlighten your fellow human beings about the meaning to be given to all events. And thus you are to a certain extent at an advantage over your fellow human beings as long as they don’t make the right use of their free will and let you inform them, as long as they don’t listen to you if you want to convey the truth to them. You are at an advantage and yet also burdened accordingly, for the knowledge you possess obliges you to pass it on if you want to prove yourselves worthy of it. It is not enough that you merely acquire knowledge for yourselves but you must constantly work with it if it is to be a blessing for yourselves and your fellow human beings. There is so much ambiguity amongst people, erroneous opinions are widespread, and thereby people’s faith becomes weak and is in danger of being completely rejected, which can prevent the offering of the pure truth. You possess the pure truth, therefore pass it on, acquire for yourselves the right to have become knowledgeable through My grace by distributing what you have received and thus bring clarification to questions which only the person who is taught by Me through the voice of the spirit is able to answer. You, who hear Me, convey spiritual knowledge to those who are unable to hear Me but who would also like to have knowledge, inform them of the extraordinary gift of grace and inform them of My love for all imperfection, whom I want to help to attain perfection. You possess much and can still increase your wealth if you pass it on, if you teach your fellow human beings as I have taught you. Then you will bring light into the darkness which lies over the earth, then you will break through the night of the spirit and light will come into many hearts which desire the truth and cannot receive it directly from Me. Help all who are ignorant and desire knowledge, for I will speak to them through you, I will also instruct them as I have instructed you, so that they will recognize Me and learn to love Me ….

Amen

And I Am with you when you speak My name, as long as your thoughts intend to reach Me. Then I Am in your midst …. Believe this and become aware of My presence when you speak of Me, and imagine that I knock at every heart’s door and request entry, and that you should not reject Me if you want to gain My favour. You should be receptive when I want to talk to you through Word or Scripture, through thoughts or My servants on earth who bring you My Word. For if you accept My Word you accept Me Myself in your heart, if you comply with it you take Communion with Me, for then you will live in accordance with My will, which I will reveal to you through My Word …. with love, and through your deeds of love you will unite with Me, you will establish such a heartfelt bond with Me that you will hear Me when I speak Words of love to you and thus provide nourishment for your soul when I give you the bread of heaven, My flesh and My blood …. when I come to you Myself in the Word ….

Let Me stay with you often, let your thoughts drift to Me and hold frequent spiritual conversations, so that I can always be present with you, for I gave you this promise Myself: Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I Am in the midst of them. And wherever I Am you can only benefit, for I always hand out My gifts because I love you, My living creations, and want to make you happy. And the amount of My gifts of grace can be determined by yourselves, you can receive much, just as you can reject My love by turning your attention to the world …. by interrupting your spiritual conversations and focussing on worldly interests …. I let you do as you please and don’t force you to listen to Me, yet you deprive yourselves of much wealth. I can only give you as much as your free will accepts, I certainly offer you My grace but I won’t impose it on you, yet you will lose My presence when you turn away from Me, for I want to be desired in order to give Myself. Nevertheless, I won’t stop …. time and again I will send My messengers to prepare the path for Me, and I will follow them if you if you are willing to receive Me …. And thus you can always make use of My grace; you can always be My guest just by remembering Me and ignoring the world. For truly, I will give you better things than the world can give to you …. Therefore, don’t let Me knock in vain but listen to My voice and follow it, let yourselves be invited to take Supper with Me and be My guests, so that I can refresh you physically and spiritually with food and drink ….

Amen

You will only understand the meaning of My words if you are serious about standing in truth. I have always spoken to people in parables in order to stimulate them to think, otherwise the words would have fallen on their ears if they did not have the serious will to think about them. I gave free rein to their thoughts and therefore suggested everything to them accordingly. The imagery was intended to bring to life in them what I had to say to them …. And thereby I achieved more with those people than with a dry teaching which remained incomprehensible to them until they possessed deeper realization through a life of love. And in this way My teaching was also written down according to My will. And again, it only requires the individual’s serious will to penetrate the core of My teaching, which was veiled by parables and figurative paraphrasing in order to encourage the human being to think about it. This is truly a small requirement to take My word as the content of one’s thoughts, to seriously think about the meaning and purpose of those words which contain My teaching of love, and anyone who has the serious will will also soon understand the meaning and be able to give a correct explanation himself in case of dispute. For I want people to discuss My word, only then will they receive the right blessing from it, only then will the seed planted in the soil come up. Speech and counter-speech stick in the memory more than a written word which is read over if the person does not have the need to draw deeper knowledge from the scriptures which reproduce My word. Through speech and counter-speech the human being is forced to take a stand and to express his thoughts. Therefore it is far more successful to cultivate an exchange of thoughts in a small circle than to listen to My word without being allowed to express it in return, for the human being’s intellect certainly accepts My word but not the heart, which is then dependent on the human being’s will to encourage the intellect to convey to the heart what it has received through listening. However, what is heard usually escapes the intellect without the heart having taken notice of it, and then My words are completely meaningless because their meaning would be hidden from the intellect but obvious to the heart. And therefore I had My word written down in this form by the disciples, well considering most people’s unwillingness to deal with these words of Mine in detail. Yet I have made it dependent on their thinking about it to what extent My word becomes comprehensible to them ….

Amen

A large field of work will be assigned to you if you are to start working for Me and My kingdom, and you need not fear that you will not be able to cope with it, for depending on your ability you will be placed where you can work successfully. My call to you goes out in the clearest way so that you will no longer hesitate and joyfully serve Me. But so that you are capable of your work you must always draw on My strength, there must no longer be any separation between you and Me, the intimate relationship of a child with its father must be established so that you no longer fear the world but always know in Me a loving protector Who protects you from all adversity of the world, Who faithfully stands by your side and constantly supports you with advice and action. Only when you have established this relationship will you be fit for the service you are to render Me …. to openly and fearlessly confess Me before the world and to preach My teaching of love to your fellow human beings, to reproach them for the idleness of their lives and to proclaim My word …. You yourselves must be so fully convinced of what you say to your fellow human beings that your words ignite in the hearts of others, that they thus gain life and do not remain without impression on their fellow human beings. Countless souls are in need and waiting for help, and these are the people who have not yet completely surrendered to My adversary and yet cannot believe in a God of love, omnipotence and wisdom. To these you shall restore the living faith in Me through living language, through presenting My word from above, you shall inform them of My obvious working on you and of your mission which extends to your fellow human beings, so that they, too, feel cared for and willingly hand themselves over to Me as their creator and father of eternity, so that they establish the same relationship with Me as that of a child with its father …. Then they will be won for My kingdom, they will be won for eternity. And many you will meet on the path I lead you …. Many are in spiritual adversity and yet can still be saved if the truth is conveyed to them, if they hear words of love from Me through you to which they cannot and will not close their minds. It is a large field which you should cultivate, which you should cleanse of weeds and sow with good seed so that I will reap a rich harvest …. This work is your service for Me, to which I will soon call you and only ever admonish you to be diligent in your spiritual activity and to make use of every hour so that you will mature yourselves and be able to carry out your mission for the benefit of yourselves and your fellow human beings, for the time is hastening and the end is near ….

Amen

People challenge My justice, for they sin incessantly. They are intolerant beyond measure, they have no love in their hearts, they are full of arrogance, full of sensual desires, they have no compassion for their neighbour, they are full of envy and jealousy and, due to their lack of love, capable of the worst actions. And thus they sin against My commandment of neighbourly love and against Me Myself, Who gave them this commandment. But anyone who violates My commandment of love forfeits My love, he distances himself from Me and hardens himself more and more until I take him to court again, i.e. his new banishment into matter takes place. Then My justice has been atoned for, yet the human being has judged himself, only My law of eternity underlies this process, which could rightly be called a punishment if it did not at the same time represent an effective means of education, thus always let My love for the created shine through, thus it is never to be regarded as wrath. Justice never eliminates love, but justice also demands atonement so that sin itself is invalidated. For My creations suffer from sin and can only reduce or cancel this suffering through righteous atonement …. So a sinful person is in judgment, i.e. in a banished state which is sorrowful. He must make satisfaction, he is forced to do what he did not do voluntarily as a human being …. he must serve. Man serves voluntarily if he awakens love in himself. But vices and bad habits displace love and he tries to rule where he should be of service, and his thoughts and actions are sinful. And if a change in the stage as a human being can no longer be expected he will be placed into a state where the spirit is forced to be of service in order to reach the free state again, and it can once again pass the test of will of free service. This course of development is only justice on My part, yet it is not based on anger but on love, and it is always determined by the human being’s own free will, so that he will plunge himself into judgment as soon as he sins against the commandment of love for God and his neighbour ….

Amen

You are allotted a measure of suffering and hardship which you have to take upon yourselves in earthly life in order to mature your soul. This measure corresponds to the length of your life span, the will and the soul maturity of the individual human being, which is why it appears differently abundant to the human being who has not yet penetrated into the deeper knowledge about the purpose and aim of earthly life. It is no coincidence that one person’s life is more difficult and arduous while another person is spared many things, but God’s will has shaped the individual’s destiny in a way which is most beneficial for his soul. Yet you humans can contribute a lot yourselves to make life easier for yourselves, because God’s will to help is always ready if you call upon Him and appeal for His help. Thus, to a certain extent, you create the excess of suffering for yourselves, for you are always entitled to the grace of prayer which you only need to use in order to be relieved of even the greatest worry. For prayer can have the same success for the development of the soul as a measure of suffering …. the human being seeks God to Whom he wants to unite …. for which suffering is a good means …. Only the connection with God should be established, the path to this can be chosen by the human being, and therefore he can determine his fate and shape it in a bearable way for himself if he remains in constant contact with God through prayer or through active neighbourly love which results in God’s presence, thus it triggers a direct connection with Him, because God Himself is love and therefore has to unite with the human being who shapes himself into the same being through love. Therefore, if a person believes he has to suffer excessively he should bear in mind that his nature still needs to change or it could be permeated by God’s nature, which excludes all suffering. He has to suffer in order to take refuge with God and, through heartfelt prayer, request His emanation, which is never denied to him and touches the earthly person all the more effectively and invigoratingly the more he unites with God …. The union with God eliminates all suffering, thus it need only be striven for in order to reduce the measure of suffering and hardship and yet to mature in the soul ….

Amen

My strength is also ineffective if it is resisted, otherwise My strength would mean coercion. You humans must first give up resistance, then you will also noticeably feel My strength and make use of it. Resistance to Me consists of taking a stand against Me and the world …. As long as you put the world before Me your will is still wrongly directed, and this also prevents the effect of strength on you, for My grace and strength is constantly at your disposal but can only be received, i.e. become effective, with heartfelt devotion to Me and turning away from the world. Admittedly, the world still has to be taken into account as far as the circle of duties requires it, into which you have been placed to fulfil the earthly task, but whether you do something dutifully or only direct your thoughts and aspirations towards it is a difference which also determines the measure of My influx of grace. Don’t let yourselves be beguiled by the world, for it cannot make you happy forever but it can completely distract you from Me; put Me first and you will realize how easily you will also master earthly life, how My blessing will accompany you and My help will become visible to you. What is more understandable than that you have to become aware of My strength when you unite with Me? But if you turn your heart away from Me and towards the world, you also close your heart to the strength from Me, and you look for it in the world but cannot find it. Life with Me will never harm you, for even worldly you will be placed in such a way that your needs will be met …. But more is evil unless your heart remains completely untouched by it, and this is what you should strive for. Learn to despise what worldly people desire; share what you possess with your neighbour, and what you lack leave it up to Me whether I want to give it to you …. And always come to Me as trusting children, I will not deny you anything you ask for if you devote yourselves to Me and want to be Mine, if you present Me to the world and thus My strength can take effect in you ….

Amen

You have My word that I will not leave you in distress …. If now the hour will come when everything will falter around you and certain death will be in front of your eyes, remember My words and do not be afraid …. Then I will hold My hand protectively over you and will not let any harm come to you. Then trust in Me, Who alone can help you, Who also commands the elements of nature to spare you who want to serve Me. And you will live even if death will reap abundantly around you, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture. For you are to bear witness to the truth of My word, you are to speak afterwards so that what I offer you from above will continue from mouth to mouth. You are to give strength and comfort to the survivors, you are to enlighten the unbelievers and make them aware of God’s will, which is made known to them through you. You are to instruct the doubters and warn people who deny Me, who don’t want to acknowledge Me, you are to point all people to the last judgment, to the day which means an end on this earth for all people, good and evil. I need you for this work and therefore also protect your life, and if I give you this assurance you can look forward to what is to come completely carefree, for I will always help you if you are in need and also always give you strength to endure earthly tribulations which you still have to take upon yourselves for the sake of your soul’s maturity. You will not live in order much longer, you will only have a short time left to care for and build up your earthly life …. Then the day will come which will destroy everything again which you have laboriously built up for yourselves …. the day which will bring such enormous changes that you would no longer wish to live if you did not know about everything. Then strong demands will be made on your faith …. Then you will have to prove how far you have penetrated spiritual knowledge, the truth, for this alone will give you strength, whereas anyone who does not know the truth will despair, for he will lose all faith in a God of love and omnipotence, for My reign and activity is incomprehensible to him. You should enlighten them and inform them of My plan of salvation, of their earthly task and their destiny. You should point out to them the near end and inform them of your knowledge about it and your mission. And blessed are those who believe you, who take your teachings to heart and turn to Me …. The day is near, therefore be eager in your activity for Me and My kingdom, make use of every hour and bear in mind that only the spiritual endures, but the earthly perishes and therefore should not be taken seriously. For there is only one thing you need to do to protect your soul from harm, I will protect the body or release your soul from its cover when its time has come ….

Amen

My spirit gives life to My word …. The word alone can be empty sound to him whose ear it only touches if My spirit cannot penetrate his heart in order to make My word come alive in him. And therefore My word can be spoken and also heard and yet remain without impression, for it is dead as long as My spirit cannot have an effect. But if My word emanates from Me it is shaped and also enlivened by My spirit …. For it only comes forth from Me if a heart has made itself receptive, that is, where the spiritual spark was able to establish contact with the father-spirit through loving activity. My word will also be understood there, it will live and stimulate activity. It is enlivened by My spirit …. This is why the written word, the book of the fathers, can only be understood if My spirit blows through it …. if it is read or listened to in the state of connection of the spiritual spark in the human being with the father-spirit of eternity. Otherwise it will only remain a dead word which is received by the ear and perhaps also processed by the intellect but which has no resonance in the heart and therefore cannot have any effect on the human being. It is a dead word as long as the spirit is not awakened in the human being; it will not give the human being anything further, it will be read and put aside again for lack of understanding or discarded. But the spirit is only awakened through love …. A person without love rarely or not at all takes the book of the fathers in hand because it says nothing to him, because he finds no understanding for the written word, although it originated from Me. But loving activity enlightens his heart, he grasps the meaning and the word goes to his heart, it inspires him to obey it …. My spirit works in him and he gains spiritual knowledge, he becomes knowledgeable and stands in truth …. he has awakened to actual life, for now his upward development begins, the inner life stirs, he strives for perfection because his spirit impels him to it …. My word gains life in him. As long as the dead word only touched him it remained without impression; the word which comes alive also changes the human being’s nature, for now I Myself speak to him and he also accepts My word as My expression of love, as a gift of grace which is precious to him and of which he wants to make himself worthy …. He strives towards Me and fulfils My will, which I announce to him through My word and which My spirit makes understandable to him …. He has awakened to life and will never lose this life again ….

Amen

Anyone who wants to call himself My representative on earth must also instruct his fellow human beings in accordance with the fullest truth. Thus he must possess it himself and therefore be introduced to the pure truth by My spirit through My word. He cannot teach if he has not grasped the meaning himself, if it is not fully comprehensible to him how My word is to be understood, which can only be understood in a deeply spiritual way. Hence he must be so inwardly devoted to Me that I Myself can work in him through My spirit, only then will he be a true representative of My name, then he can be active for Me and My kingdom and work for the blessing of his fellow human beings on earth. But it is not enough for a person to say to Me: “Lord, lord ….” if he confesses Me with his mouth and wants to express his bond with Me through words …. I only look at the heart, but My eyes penetrate it and not the smallest corner remains hidden from Me. I know every thought of the human being and therefore also know the innermost life of the soul of every person who calls himself My representative on earth …. And in accordance with My eternal order I cannot deviate from the conditions I have attached to the working of My spirit in the human being. I cannot enlighten a person’s thinking who has not shaped himself to receive My spirit; he will always walk in ignorance, My word will be and remain incomprehensible to him, and consequently he will not be suitable as a teacher for his fellow human beings as long as he has not established the heartfelt bond with Me through loving activity, which then also results in the working of the spirit. And since I am therefore well able to see through people’s hearts, I Myself choose the suitable hearts which are suitable as receptacles for My spirit and pour the truth into them …. I Myself train them as teachers because it is urgently necessary that people are enlightened, that My word is conveyed to them in its purest form, that they find the truth if they look for it. And I will also always support these My right representatives on earth with My strength so that they can teach without hesitation and are always active in My will. The truth shall be spread and I bless everyone who contributes to it, who shapes himself such that I Myself can work through him …. that he is truly My representative, who can proclaim My word and make My will known to people and thereby bring light to all people who walk in darkness and desire light ….

Amen

Let yourselves be taught and accept My word wherever it is offered to you. For I speak to you as soon as you desire to hear Me. Leave it up to Me how My word is conveyed to you, for each one of you is receptive in a different way and I approach each individual accordingly in the word, but I Myself am always present if you desire to hear My word, because I Myself am the word from eternity. Yet you should always bear in mind that you will only find full understanding for My word if you appeal to Me in spirit and in truth for full understanding of what is offered to you as My word. Then the hearing of My word will also be a blessing for you, then not only the ear but also the heart will hear and recognize My will. Then you will also endeavour to live in accordance with it, and then you will also converse with Me more often and accept mental instructions which broaden your knowledge and are precious spiritual possessions, thus you will gather spiritual riches for eternity. Again and again I must urge you to listen to My word, otherwise you will remain without strength for your ascent development and also lack truthful knowledge. I want to speak to you at all times; therefore make use of this and listen to Me and you will truly not regret it, you will broaden your knowledge and again and again let yourselves be taught, once you have received My word directly from Me through the inner word or through My messengers who convey the inner word to you. For this word proves My presence to you, it proves My love and care for you, which I want to regain for eternity …. For your own sake listen to Me, for without My word you cannot become blessed ….

Amen

The earth carries much that is wicked and awaits redemption. But the time set for its redemption has passed, which is why it is approaching a new stage where the upward development is partly continued, partly started anew. Humanity is almost at the lowest level of spiritual development, apart from a few people who are already touched by the light and can discard the earthly cover. And now a total change has to begin, a new form has to be given to the spiritual, which again exerts a certain pressure to influence the spiritual to change. Such a change has become necessary if I don’t want to completely abandon My creations and lose them forever, i.e. let them sink so far that a return to Me becomes impossible due to their resistance against Me. The spiritual being is not aware in its darkness that it deprives itself of all strength and only receives strength for evil from My adversary, through which it becomes increasingly more wretched. I take pity on this total lack of strength and withdraw the being from the adversary’s influence. And thus a new period of development begins for the salvation of the apostate spiritual being …. But before that a fierce fire will be kindled for the purification of that which is not yet permeable to light but feels itself forced towards the light, which does not escape the mild glow even if its will is too weak to expose itself to its warmth. This fire will rage and destroy everything, it will only be very short in time but of such intensity that its effect will be quite enormous. And the individual people will be forcibly forced to decide …. for Me or for My adversary …. But then the spiritual will irrevocably take its prescribed course …. in light or in darkness. You humans will no longer find peace on this earth, for the source of the fire is created in a short time and you will all be affected. It is a cleansing fire in the truest meaning of the word to which you are now exposed but which can purify you crystal clear if the shells around your souls are not so hardened that even the strongest fire is of no use, but then this shell hardens even more and surrounds the soul again as firmest matter, which itself did not want it any other way. And thus everything spiritual will create heaven or hell for itself according to its will …. For the time has expired which was given to it for redemption ….

Amen

I have instructed My angels to intervene where human will does not succeed. For it is time that people find themselves a way in order to escape the imminent disaster. But I will help them if the urgency is not recognised, and thus coincidences will emerge which are nevertheless only My providence, which thus influence the individual person’s destiny. People don’t know that they are in constant care of the beings to whom they have been entrusted, who determine every individual person’s life in accordance with divine will, who thus intervene in their lives on My instruction. But I nevertheless do not interfere with free will so as not to force the human being’s will who should freely decide or profess what is good. And he need not do anything else but accept his destiny without resistance and without grumbling or complaining. For I know what is beneficial for everyone and what condition the human being’s soul needs in order to mature and take this into account. And thus all events will intertwine and thus create a new situation which is entirely beyond anyone’s calculation. But then you should also recognise My working and be grateful that I look after you by placing beings of light by your side to care for you, or you would become unsuitable for spiritual work and unable to help your fellow human beings. However, I gave you a mission and thus handed you into the care of My angels which will do everything for you as long as you work on My behalf. My will alone decides, and this truly in a way which is good for you. And so you should stop worrying and calmly and cheerfully continue on your path of life which time and again will bring you sunshine and will never be too difficult for you to travel as long as you entrust yourselves to Me, as long as you push towards Me and work for Me and My kingdom ….

Amen

You should understand that I cannot abide in a limited, specially designed vessel, in earthly matter, in certain places at certain times, but that I Am wherever a heart has developed love. Only a loving heart can claim to harbour Me, to be blessed by My presence, for My fundamental substance is love and thus I can only be where love manifests itself. But a material vessel can never be the holder of My eternal spirit …. This assumption is only the result of thoughts by spiritually blind people who have the wrong idea of My Being, which indeed permeates infinity and is thus omnipresent but it will never be contained in a limited vessel, as people are being taught. What is humanity thinking of the eternal Deity …. This belief demonstrates spiritual poverty and how far people are kept from the truth by misinformed teachers ….

How can a spirit that controls infinity make its abode within a material form, which …. as the spiritually awakened person will know …. contains spiritual substance that is still on a very low level of development …. When I credit a person’s heart with My presence then I Am contacting the spiritual essence in its final stage of development, I Am effectively permeating the soul, the human being’s spirit, with the strength of My love, the expression of Myself …. And the influx of strength increases in accordance with the willingness of a person to love and thus fills the entire heart. Then I Am present in the person Myself; I will take possession of him just as he in turn will harbour Me within himself in abundance. Why should I dwell in a vessel which is still dead, which, in fact, is part of the spiritual essence opposing Me ….

My presence would cause any shape to melt if the strength of My love were to flow through it, and every thinking person will recognise the absurdity of this idea and reject such doctrines. However, human beings are very foolish, they will not let themselves be taught but hold on to what they are told to believe. They are holding a dead object in excessive veneration, which they themselves credit with contents supposedly representing the supreme and most venerable Being. A pure human heart capable of love is the only temple in which I Myself will dwell, and therefore I need not be sought in particular places at certain times and in a particular form …. Instead, every human being should prepare himself to become the vessel I want to occupy. Every human being should shape his heart into love, then I, the Eternal Love, will take abode in him, then he will be able to love and revere Me everywhere and at any time, I will always be present in him because My spirit will unite with his, because I Am in him Myself ….

Amen

It is very telling that you, My servants on earth, find little interest when you bring My Word to people as a gift from your Lord …. You, who are spiritually awake, who make contact with Me in thought and through actions of love, you know and believe that I speak to you Myself, thus you offer My Word as the Word of God …. Consequently you must also realise how far people have distanced themselves from Me, that only very few regard Me Myself as the originator of the Word, that people do not believe that I Myself talk to them directly and therefore do not accept the teachings either. They do not recognise the voice of the Father and Creator since eternity. This is an unmistakable sign of people’s spiritual low level.

What you, My representatives on earth, give to them is rejected, and what is given to them instead by those who call themselves My representatives even though they are not called by Me, is accepted as pure truth and advocated with zeal which, however, is wasted on errors and lies. Anyone who knows the pure truth also knows the spiritual darkness of those who reject My Word even if they deem themselves to be eager servants. They have not yet recognised Me and want to bear witness of Me …. They want to lead My flock and don’t know the right path themselves, they want to teach and are ignorant themselves, and at the same time they are so arrogantly minded that they do not let themselves be taught even if I confront them Myself in the Word. Hence, if they do not recognise My Word they will not recognise Me Myself either.

And thus it follows that the time of the end has arrived, because humanity cannot be guided back to Me by anything if it does not take notice of My Word from above. There is no way I can speak to people Myself other than through your mouth, and My Own, i.e. those who strive towards Me of their own free will, who often lift their thoughts to Me, will also recognise My voice. They will know which one of their fellow human beings belongs to My Own, because those who reject My Word and therefore Me Myself are My adversary’s children even though they call themselves My servants, because My chosen servants recognise Me and My Word and are therefore closely united with Me, whereas the others will increasingly distance themselves from Me if they do not accept what I offer them as a special gift of grace ….

Amen

Where cosmic changes become known, which indicate a forthcoming natural disaster, you can also be sure to detect My working in people through prior signs, all kinds of admonitions and warnings, through clairvoyant visions by especially devout people, and through increased influences by the beings of light on those whose will is devoted to Me and whose appropriate way of life enables their contact. Where natural events occur more frequently people are also more open to My warnings, and there is usually also the motive for frequent changes in the creations of nature as a result of such natural events, because the constrained spiritual substances strive towards higher development and will reach maturity faster where people are more compliant. Yet in accordance with My eternal plan of Salvation My direct influence through the natural elements will now also affect creations of nature where this is otherwise rare …. The spiritual forces, which have already been constrained for an infinitely long time, are pushing for liberation and will meet My approval …. There, too, it will be announced what is to take place in nature. People will be made aware of it although they are not interested in My admonitions and warnings, in My advice. Cosmic changes will also become apparent and could make everyone think; seers and prophets will arise whose gift of prophecy makes them feel duty bound to mention what they see or hear through spiritual contact. But in view of free will and belief everything will take its natural course, and even cosmic changes will be scientifically explained and therefore won’t worry people.

However, although every happening, every process in nature, can certainly be explained in natural terms it will always have a spiritual reason and explanation, and it is more important to take notice of this than of the purely natural one, because you cannot stop or lessen the natural consequences with your knowledge, but you can utilise spiritual consequence for your benefit and thus calmly face the natural consequences …. You will be in control of them when you believe, when you have derived the spiritual benefit from your knowledge …. Then you will also be in control of nature …. Do you know what that means? To be able to stop even the elements of nature willfully, which is also My will if you are sincerely united with Me? And the liberated spiritual substances will also acknowledge you as master …. you will also be the ruler over matter and it will willingly subordinate itself to you. You cannot appreciate its profound meaning as yet but when you have reached this degree it will also become clear to you what you can achieve with My strength, which will then be at your unrestricted disposal. Yet only few people will reach this degree of maturity due to their profoundly steadfast faith in Me and My love, and their unlimited surrender to Me …. But My power and glory will reveal itself to them and they will proclaim Me throughout the world …. Moved by My spirit they will always and forever speak on My behalf because they will soon no longer be part of this world and close to their perfection ….

Amen

Something is in store for you which will help to turn around what is troubling you and which, despite all suffering, will bring you inner peace. You are My servants on earth and are looked after by Me, and thus I direct your steps so that you walk together in common service for Me and My kingdom. Only a short time remains for you, then the earthly battle will be over. Whatever suffering and affliction this short time still brings upon you, patiently take it upon yourselves, for I will reward you a thousandfold if you endure until the end. And to make it easier for you I will also give you the right companion for the earthly path so that you will support each other, so that one will help the other to bear the suffering which is still granted to you for the sake of your soul’s maturity. Yet as bearers of truth I don’t want to lose you, and therefore I watch over you so that you don’t lose yourselves, neither to the world nor to error, i.e. the world is a danger for you because it keeps you away from the desire for truth …. Error is the same danger, for it likewise separates you from Me, Who is the eternal truth. and even if it seems as if I do not fulfil your prayer …. I have given you a task which you will fulfil together, and this requires a maturity of soul which is only achieved through inner struggle. Yet I will not let you out of My sight, and you can believe My words …. I guide you to each other because a separation of the workers is detrimental to Me and My kingdom. I love you, for you are all My children, and I also want to mutually promote the union of My children as soon as it is conducive to spiritual striving and cooperation for My kingdom. Then My blessing will rest on every union and I Myself will help you achieve it ….

Amen

The signs which precede the final end are unmistakable yet only of significance to someone who looks at them from a spiritual point of view, because they take place within the framework of natural law and will therefore only be recognised as the previously announced indications of the end if people themselves believe in an end, thus if they are inclined to associate everything that is created with the Creator and all happenings with His will. Consequently, they find it easy to believe in God’s reign and activity, they also know that nothing happens by itself but that everything is governed by God’s will. But then they also know that the Book of the Fathers has to be believed, which had announced an end ever since the beginning of the epoch of Salvation. These predictions were confirmed and repeated by Jesus Christ Who effectively brought one stage of this epoch to an end and started a new one, but always with reference to the end, to the conclusion of a long period of Salvation, which is now coming to conclusion. To ensure that this period of Salvation will be successful for the souls He Himself accomplished the act of Salvation, thereby enabling them to quickly mature into spiritual beings which no longer required a material earth.

However, the act of Salvation was not made sufficient use of. Hence the earth can not yet be excluded as a place of redemption for the spirits, it merely needs to arise reshaped again if the redemption of the constrained spirits is to progress …. Thus, first it will have to be destroyed and dissolved in order to let something new emerge from it. The fact that this developmental phase is limited is understandable, for God has always granted the souls a specific length of time to release themselves from the form, which is tied to His laws of eternal order. This time has now ended and as a result the signs must show themselves too, for God will never leave people without warning or admonition, so that they can still make full use of the last days for their souls. Even the longest period of Salvation will end one day …. Yet only the believer will deem this to be true, and this is why only the believer will recognise and pay attention to the last signs …. he will know that he is living in the last days and that he seriously has to consider his soul ….

Amen

Peace be to you humans on earth if you are of good will …. And therefore I Myself came to earth as a human being in order to bring you peace, that is, to show you the path on which you can attain peace of heart. For the world lay in the bonds of satan and had to be delivered from him. And so a man surrendered himself to his wickedness by granting him all power and fighting against him. He faced him for battle; not that he sought to escape from him, but that he should unfold all power against him, and he wanted to resist him, he wanted to emerge victorious from this battle in order to redeem people, in order to snatch them from satan. For the world lay in bonds …. And so you also lie in bonds again, and the saviour Jesus Christ has brought His work of redemption in vain for the people who now walk the earth and do not believe in Him. Again the adversity is immense, again satan rages and exerts great power, again people are distant from Me and need help. Again I fight against him from above by guiding the truth where lies and error are represented as satan’s weapons …. The world lies in bonds …. Like a fetter the darkness of spirit lies over humanity, it cannot free itself because it does not want the light of eternal truth to break through the darkness …. It lies under the spell of the one who is the ruler of darkness. And therefore I have to be its redeemer again, but in a different way …. I must wrest power from the adversary, I must imprison him so that the spell is broken, so that peace reigns again amongst people, the peace in Me which is granted to all those who want to live with Me and for Me …. I bring them peace, for I break the shackles and give freedom to all who are of good will …. I come to earth again, in the clouds I appear to all who believe in Me and fetch them home into the kingdom of peace before I cast a spell on the one who is their enemy and wants to destroy them. And so the saviour will also arise again in greatest distress …. A child was once born to you …. He descended from above to earth, and so too He dwells on earth today in the spirit of those who let themselves be redeemed by Him, and I will go with them into battle against satan, I will bring peace to those who are of good will ….

Amen

Anyone who wants to belong to My church must have a living faith, for I do not acknowledge a dead faith because it does not merit the description of ‘faith’. And thus you humans already have the right characteristic of My church as well as the explanation for My Words ‘Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church …. ‘ My church is only based on the right faith …. But what is the right faith? …. Deeming something to be true which cannot be proven is your explanation. Nevertheless, this is not meant to be blind faith, not a thoughtless acceptance of religious doctrines, because this cannot give rise to a convinced faith. Even so, the human being must possess the inner conviction without proof …. This is the right faith or it would only be a play of words when faith is being talked about. Only a convinced faith is a living faith, and not blindly accepted dogma which is merely not rejected …. Peter possessed a convinced faith and this is why I referred to him as the rock which should be the foundation of My church. And time and again I will make this faith the condition for belonging to My church, for I Am not satisfied with those who only pay lip-service to a teaching but lack the inner conviction.

A living faith is a prerequisite, because the strength of faith will only become evident where the inner conviction exists. The fact that I expect more of people than a mere avowal with their lips should be obvious to every thinking person, after all, people could be presented with and expected to believe the most absurd teachings. But I made this impossible with My Words which specify a guideline to people …. Peter, the rock …. who shall be the foundation of My church. From this follows that you humans must therefore clarify your point of view regarding every doctrine, that you, in order that you can believe with conviction, will have to mentally form an opinion about it and thus, understandably, cannot accept every doctrine, that an erroneous teaching must be recognised by you, because you cannot gain the conviction that what you are expected to believe is the absolute truth. On serious reflection you will certainly be able to distinguish which doctrines correspond to the truth and which have to be rejected …. And thus you will also be and remain true followers of My church if you have a living faith, and I will bless you ….

Amen

Choose between Me and My adversary …. Choose between the spiritual kingdom and the earthly world …. Know that the spiritual kingdom will be lost to you if you lose the earthly world, and know that you will also lose Me and that the adversary will draw you into his nets if you strive for earthly possessions and pay no attention to Me. To surrender the world is to gain Me, to possess the world is to lose Me. But the desire of the heart is always decisive as to how far you desire the world or Me. For even on earth you can call goods your own, yet how you relate to them in your heart also determines your spiritual development and the possession of spiritual goods; anyone who is only filled with desire for earthly possessions has no sense for spiritual things, he is so distant from Me, the spiritual kingdom is so improbable to him, he is without faith and also without neighbourly love, for he only has his physical well-being in mind and only creates and works for himself, for the physical shell which will soon pass away. You have to make a decision, for depending on your attitude you will be considered to be spiritually rich if you desire Me and ignore earthly goods, or you will gain worldly advantages if you strive for them and walk your earthly path with My adversary’s support. But then you will distance yourselves from Me and go to the kingdom of darkness …. And I would like to protect you from this. The children of the world cannot be called happy, even though they seem to live happily and freely. For nothing that falls to them, that they possess or strive for, is permanent. Everything passes away and they themselves likewise, and what remains for them is misery and darkness …. But those who strive for Me and My kingdom can certainly be called poor on earth, they will also often go through suffering and affliction, yet beatitude is certain for them when they are rid of their physical shell. Then they will be repaid a thousand fold for what they had to do without on earth and what they now possess will last forever and will make you happier than you could ever be on earth. Yet you have to make a free decision, you have to choose between Me and My adversary without coercion, and your fate on earth and in the beyond will be the same ….

Amen
