Redemptive work of Christ ….

B.D. 4583 from March 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Christ’s work of redemption has been accomplished and yet countless souls go into eternity unredeemed. Countless souls do not make use of the grace which the man Jesus acquired on the cross for the whole of humanity, and they remain under satan’s control, they remain bound by his will; they cannot be redeemed from his power because they themselves do not want it, because they cling to God’s adversary who does not release them in order not to deprive himself of his power. Jesus Christ was humanity’s greatest benefactor and yet only few know Him, and even those who speak His name know nothing more than this name, they know nothing of His sacrifice of love which He offered to God in order to help sinful humanity, who, pressed to the ground by the burden of sin, had neither the will nor the strength to redeem themselves …. Humanity was sinful because, as a result of the former sin of the arrogance of the spiritual, it had to walk through earthly life with the aim of maturing the soul. It was, as it were, the product of sin …. God created the human form in order to give the fallen spiritual being the opportunity to develop upwards again into a spiritual being which turns away from sin and consciously strives towards God. It is certainly possible for the human being’s spiritual being to change during earthly life so that it can enter eternity in God’s image, so that it can be redeemed if it has the will to do so. Yet as long as the human being is under the influence of the one who was responsible for his past apostasy he lacks the will for redemption and also the strength which he can only receive from God and which God only gives to the being which does not misuse the strength to work for His adversary but uses it correctly according to His will. The man Jesus, Who had penetrated God’s deepest wisdom through love, knew about this weakness of the human being, about his bound will and about the power of God’s adversary. He knew this and took pity on His helpless fellow human beings to abandon them to their dark fate, and thus He wanted to strengthen the weak, raise up the weak-willed and impart strength to them to free themselves from the enemy’s shackles. And thus He offered a sacrifice for His fellow human beings, He acquired grace and strength for them and strengthened will through a work of love which He offered to God as a sacrifice of atonement in order to make redemption easy for them. He died for humanity on the cross, He wanted to redeem His fellow human beings …. from their weakness and from the sin of their former apostasy from God.

He has accomplished the greatest work of love, which no human being on earth can measure in its value and depth. All people can become free from their tormentor, they can cast off all fetters and enter the spiritual kingdom ‘redeemed’ in the deepest meaning of the word, if only they acknowledge Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world, present their weakness and burden of sin to Him and ask for His help. But they do not respect Him …. they don’t believe in His might and power and don’t request it either, and consequently they cannot make use of the blessings of the act of salvation either, and Jesus Christ died for these people in vain, their state of sin has remained the same, and if they die they are so exceedingly burdened with the old sin of former rebellion against God as well as with an extremely weakened will which always lets them fall more and more into the hands of God’s adversary. And the work of redemption of the man Jesus was accomplished in vain for these souls, to whom no other help can be given and who therefore enter the kingdom of darkness bound, if they lose their physical life. Satan has gained victory over these souls because they have placed themselves into his hands although they were given the opportunity to request Jesus’ help, Whose love for humanity was so great that He wanted to be everyone’s saviour because He knows about the dreadful torments of those who enter the beyond unredeemed ….

Amen

Earnest exhortation to faithful work in the vineyard of the lord ….

B.D. 4584 from March 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Don’t let your spiritual activity hold you back, bear in mind that it is extremely important, that you have to fulfil a task which cannot be given to every person and therefore the few I have deemed suitable for it also have to be diligently active in view of the many souls in need of help in spiritual adversity. Notice how earthly things come first with people, how little time they find for a quiet contemplation within themselves, how rarely they touch upon spiritual things in conversation and how dismissive they also are towards spiritual debates. And you must recognize the spiritual low in which the souls stand. Then consider that you are all close to the end, what state the souls are in if they are to withstand the last great onslaught, if they are to decide for Me or for the earthly world …. consider which decision is safe …. The adversity is immense and shall still be controlled to the best of our will and ability. You can still persuade many souls to turn back if they are made aware of the truth, and I have chosen you for this work and admonish you again and again to be faithful labourers for Me and to make use of every opportunity to cultivate the field and spread good seed. Don’t let yourselves be held back, serve Me first before you serve your fellow human beings, for I am truly an efficient lord and will not let your effort and work go unrewarded. Consider that earthly goods cannot replace what I have to offer you, and consider that you yourselves have more delicious goods to distribute than you can ever gain through earthly activity. Consider people’s spiritual poverty and help them by distributing spiritual treasures, for they are truly in great need even though they live a regulated earthly life and can give the body what it desires. Cover their spiritual needs and you will truly have accomplished a work of neighbourly love which will be thanked and rewarded by those souls for all eternity. And don’t let yourselves be captured by the world which wants to influence you with all its charms, which My adversary uses to make you unfit for the work for Me and My kingdom. Remain faithful to Me and serve Me, and I will always support you and be with you with My grace ….

Amen

"My kingdom is not of this world …."

B.D. 4585 from March 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

My kingdom is not of this world …. Thus I have to warn you again and again against this world if you want to enter My kingdom, for you can only possess one thing and you have to renounce one thing for the sake of what you desire. If you now prefer the earthly world to My kingdom, you will certainly live in joy for a short time and all your wishes will be fulfilled by My adversary; yet you will miss out on the kingdom which offers you eternal bliss. You make a very bad exchange but you will never be able to compensate for it, for anyone who has once been captured by the world will not be able to get rid of matter in the kingdom of the beyond either and will finally achieve what he strives for again, he will fall ever deeper because he is drawn by matter and has become a slave to it through satan’s cunning, for what gives you pleasure in the world are means he uses to lure you to him, and as soon as your heart desires it he has already gained victory over you …. My kingdom is not of this world …. If you therefore want to enter My kingdom, then turn your back on the world, learn to despise it, only fulfil your duty, but turn your eyes upwards and you will soon see a light shining which will make the earthly world appear dark to you. And then every desire for the world will be stifled, for the light from above has an all-pervading radiance and attracts everyone who has not already become a slave to the world. But it is your free decision, you should choose for yourselves which kingdom you want to possess, you should turn to My kingdom out of innermost impulse and thereby also prove the desire for Me, you should despise the world as My adversary’s kingdom and withdraw from his influence by fighting against earthly desires and direct your heart and mind to where I am enthroned as ruler, to the kingdom of light, which is your true home ….

Amen

God's involvement in the work for His kingdom …. self-will – God's will ….

B.D. 4586 from March 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Your thoughts and actions are guided by My will as soon as you carry out spiritual activity and thus consciously want to serve Me. Hence you will not undertake anything contrary to My will, and therefore the inner connection with Me through prayer or heartfelt thoughts is enough for Me to grasp you and guide your thinking correctly, and then you need not fear to act wrongly. Anyone who wants to work in My vineyard and is willing to listen to Me first will now also be assigned the work by Me, and that is through the voice of the heart. Therefore, as you are urged from within, so is My will, accordingly you should now also act. If the inner voice holds you back then you should follow it as well, yet don’t fail to carry out what I prompt you to do. Speak when you are urged to do so, for I am always at work and you never speak out of yourselves when spiritual matters are up for discussion. For this is My working, that I lead you into opportunities where I can speak through you. Every opportunity shall be used, because every door shall be opened and because you must contribute to it by lending Me your human form, which I now use in order to speak to people, in order to influence the spiritual state, which can only be raised through the mediation of truth …. Thus you must spread the truth, you must mention My working and, with firm faith in Me and My presence, fearlessly and without inhibition preach My word to those who are still of dark spirit. You will not take a step without Me …. you can be sure that nothing is by chance and every path is marked out for you ….

Everything you think and do is My concern, for you don’t know how unspeakably important your mission is, how I want to approach humanity through you and how necessary I need you for this office of a mediator in order to preserve people’s freedom of will and faith and yet to bring them help because they don’t want to help themselves. I approach all who lack the right realization and who still have a steerable will, who are not yet hardened of heart and therefore can sense who speaks to them through you if they want to feel it. And you often have to take strange paths which you, as it were, choose yourselves and yet only obey the voice of My spirit which urges you onto this path. There is no coincidence for you, for your destiny has been determined since eternity, and anyone who serves Me is especially prescribed by Me every path he has to take. And therefore you should not worry about what and how you should act. Carry out what is in your will, what appeals to you, and then you will always do what is right as soon as you have given your will to Me beforehand, as soon as you entrust Me with the task I give you through your heart. Then you will act sensitively and it will correspond to My will. But you should not start anything without Me, you should always listen to My instruction, i.e. pay attention to what seems emotionally right to you and also do it, you will act in accordance with My will and be active for Me and My kingdom for the benefit of your fellow human beings ….

Amen

Warning against rejecting the divine Word …. 'Test all things and ….'

B.D. 4587 from March 13th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Truly, I say to you that you cause yourselves inconceivable damage if you disregard the Word I impart to you from above, if you content yourselves with teachings given to you by uninformed leaders which you will only understand if you take My Word from above to heart. First you should strive towards light, for only true light illuminates the path you need to take in order to reach your goal. In darkness you will miss the right path, in darkness you will follow the sight of lights flashing up and these are only deceptive lights which distract you from the right path. You must desire true light, that is, you must try to gain the right realisation, to adopt knowledge which corresponds to truth, and thereby form an accurate image of Me as a most loving Father and Creator of eternity, in order to then strive towards unity with Me from Whom you originated in the past. Consequently, you must be instructed of the truth. But truth can only be imparted to you by the One Who is the eternal Truth Himself or by someone who received the truth from Him directly. Strive for this sole truth and do not be satisfied with knowledge which has not emerged from the eternal font. I cannot exhort you strongly enough not to ignore it when My love reveals itself to you and conveys purest truth to you. Test all things and keep what is good …. Take notice if you are offered the gift of God’s Word and consider in your heart what your position should be. Don’t reject it without examination but bear in mind that you might well reject a great gift of grace, and therefore examine what you are offered. If you can then reject it with inner conviction, then you are not at fault, yet a serious assessment should precede it so that anyone of good will and a heart capable of love will recognise the Father’s voice speaking to him. You are offered the most precious gift of grace My love has in store for you …. Make use of it, let the grace take effect in you, listen to My Word and live accordingly and you will very soon realise that it is eternal truth which comes from Me Myself and will make you truly knowledgeable; you will feel the brightness within yourselves and clearly recognise the path to Me, you will be able to believe with conviction and also endorse Me before the world because your faith is a living one which only the pure truth can achieve. And so I admonish you once more: don’t reject My servants when they offer My Word to you. I Myself impart upon you the most valuable gift of grace, the eternal truth, because only through truth can you become blissfully happy ….

Amen

The working of the spirit …. Scrutiny …. Proof: Oratorical gift …. Truth – Error …. God's messengers ….

B.D. 4588 from March 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

A large structure must be made to waver, and this undertaking shall be tackled by you, for which I Myself will give you the instruction as well as the strength to accomplish the work. Error has crept into all places where truth is expected to be, where people believe they know the truth, and now it is up to you to expose this error, which you would be unable to do by yourselves, by using your intellect alone, yet with My help you can do so, and therefore you shall teach in My name what I have proclaimed to you through the spirit. Each one of you shall make an effort to let My spirit speak in order to gain possession of the pure truth. And if this cannot be achieved you should pay attention to what My messengers reveal to you, who are directly instructed by Me again through the voice of the spirit. Every bearer of truth will uphold the same spiritual knowledge, that is, once the truth is conveyed to someone it will always yield the same results; the spirit, which is in contact with the Father-Spirit of eternity, will proclaim the same to everyone. Thus, the origin of different results must be investigated. That which originates from My spirit will forever remain the truth, which never changes, regardless as to how and in which form it is offered to you. The working of My spirit guarantees you purest truth, and thus you need only examine when My spirit is at work and where false prophets portray themselves as My disciples and representatives on earth. And you can easily ascertain whether the spiritual information, which claims to be true, is accepted consciously or subconsciously. If I pour out My spirit, no process is being displayed for curious spectators, for I do not approach you humans such that you would even in the slightest way be forced to believe. No-one will notice anything extraordinary, unless he considers the fluent gift of oratory as something unusual, but in that case I refer to My Word ‘Take no thought how or what ye shall speak …. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit…’ Then you will already have a sign that My spirit is at work in the one who thus speaks well. However, if other exceptional signs are quoted as evidence, don’t believe that it is I Who manifests Himself in this way. Every now and then you might well be able to observe phenomena which point to My life on earth …. if particularly devout and devoted people thereby contribute towards enlivening their fellow human beings’ weak faith …. Yet the working of the spirit mainly refers to the transfer of My Word, because through My Word humanity shall be guided into truth and because My Word also makes My will known, the fulfilment of which results in the direct working of the spirit again.

The human race certainly seeks and tentatively strives for truth, but it does not take the right path in order to find it. However, every person carries the truth within himself …. Every person carries the spiritual spark within himself, which is part of Me and can impart purest truth if the person looks within and listens to the expression of the spiritual spark, to the Word, which thus comes from Me because the spiritual spark is My share for eternity. Understand, you humans, you must look within yourselves and not wait for what is brought to you from external sources! But since you no longer fulfil the conditions needed for the manifestation of the spirit, since you are no longer capable of perceiving My Word in you, hence, since you no longer come to Me, I come to you by sending you a messenger who hears the expression of his spirit, My Word, and shall inform you of it. Now it is indeed conveyed to you from outside, but as an unmistakable gift from above, which can be recognised by everyone providing he makes the effort to seriously examine it or allows himself to be guided by his inner spirit, thus does not offer resistance if My Word inwardly appeals to him. And every seriously truth-desiring person will find My Word appealing, because My strength of love takes effect in the one who strives towards Me as the eternal Truth. Thus I Myself come to meet him and draw him close to Me if I don’t meet with resistance. Therefore, take notice of the working of the spirit and accept the offer of the one who, in a completely conscious state, listens to the voice of the spirit within, for you can believe his results, since he is taught by Me directly through My spirit. Beware of false prophets as they, too, mention My name and yet have no direct connection with Me, who therefore deem themselves capable of instructing their fellow human beings but have no knowledge themselves. Beware of those who receive their knowledge in a way where I Myself cannot be at work, because forces from below push in without being rejected by the recipient’s will …. where the human being forfeits his will and his will is subsequently seized. In a conscious state they might well be of good will, nevertheless, their chosen path is wrong. Come to Me, make contact with Me in spirit, listen within and appeal to Me with all your heart for the working of My spirit …. and your prayer will be granted, you will be taught in absolute truth by Me directly or through My messengers …. But you will always be taught by My spirit and guided into all truth ….

Amen

Task of God's servants: enlightenment about living faith and truth ….

B.D. 4589 from March 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Your task consists of standing up for the truth, of enlightening and opposing the truth wherever you recognize error, so that you shake the certainty of those who believe error to be truth, so that they become thoughtful and the beings of light have a mental effect on them. Furthermore, your task consists of making the difference between living and dead faith clear to your fellow human beings, so that they are not content to pause over customs and formulas but shape their faith into a living one and establish a living connection with Me. You humans cannot hear My voice in you as long as you do not actively strive for a change of nature which, however, never happens without the firm inner will and prayer for grace and strength. Only then will life begin in you, only then will the soul remember the purpose of earthly life, and only then will it fulfil its task to develop upwards. But this will and prayer in spirit and in truth is rarely found among people, and yet they think they are believers because they comply with the church events and requirements; yet their souls do not achieve any significant progress, the change of nature does not take place, and the working of the spirit in the human being is an impossibility and likewise the supply of pure truth, which is why error is widespread in the world, which again signifies an unhappy state of humanity because truth alone is light and light alone is blissful. Satan’s power is great, and it also extends to where the truth from Me should be represented, where the gospel should be taught in all purity, as I Myself preached it to people on earth. And this is why he also has such great power over the supposed believers, because they don’t join Me closely enough themselves, because they certainly speak of Me but don’t have Me in their heart; because they certainly pray but mostly with their lips and not in spirit and in truth. For the length of a prayer does not increase its effect, and a heartfelt thought is more likely to be heard than well-placed words of long duration. The adversary lurks everywhere and tries to bring people down, and he is very successful where the will to reach Me is not serious and firm. But who musters this will, I hold him firm that he does not fall in the temptations of the adversary. I give him strength and he will remain victorious. But where is the will so serious that the hot, pleading request rises up to Me: Lord, draw Me to You, help Me against all adversity of body and soul; give Me pure, unadulterated truth, and let Me recognize and love You …. Where is faith so alive that the heart speaks these words and not only the mouth? …. I want this living faith, and where I find it I will certainly be constantly present, for I will not let such a heart fall into My adversary’s hands. But he tries to prevent you humans from intimate contact with Me, and thus he first tries to obscure the truth, he spreads error and gives you a distorted image of Me. And because your will is weak you let yourselves be influenced by him and you believe His words more, who portrays Me as a God of vengeance and wrath and not of love and reduces your desire for Me. He is present to you but I am far from you, for your heart does not draw Me, it belongs to the world which is his kingdom. And your faith is dead …. it is only a confession with the mouth but not a firmly convinced faith that I am and want to unite with you as My living creations. Faith is missing because you do not know the truth. And therefore you, My servants, should fight for the truth and take action against error, and I will always be present to you with My grace ….

Amen

Doctrine of re-incarnation …. Misguided teaching …. Celestial bodies ….

B.D. 4590 from March 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Do not be mislead by supposed contradictions, rather, see the reason in the fact that your ability of comprehension does not always suffice in order to understand something properly, and that there need not be a contradiction, but you only suppose it to be. It should be sufficient for you to know that I will never teach you wrongly and that I will always give you the information such that it will benefit your soul ….

The doctrine of karma does not encourage you to increase your spiritual endeavour. It is far more likely to encourage you to conduct your life half-heartedly in the spiritual sense. For this reason alone it is of little benefit for the soul, and it does not meet My full approval that you humans count on a return to earth and as a result become negligent in your effort. Although I support the soul’s higher development in every way, and wherever I recognise a reliable opportunity to advance your soul’s maturity I Am willing to give My consent, but it always has to be on the basis of My lawful eternal order and never for the sake of a deliberately created opportunity …. Hence it must be understandable to you that I will not inform you of a repeated process of development on this earth, which presupposes your total failure during your earthly life, but that I would like to protect you from this failure, and therefore caution, warn and instruct you in order to prevent a failure.

It would be a wrong instruction if I were to offer you the prospect of another path to reach your goal while the right path is still ahead of you, thus you should, and could, walk this path with correct use of your will. I only inform you of the infinite number of previous embodiments because I want you to become aware of your great responsibility for the short path of earthly life. This knowledge is only intended to increase your effort, but you should not draw the wrong conclusion and neglect your endeavour in the hope of repeating your incarnation on this earth if you do not reach your goal. My spirit will definitely enlighten you, and if you ask Me faithfully I will let you know through My servants to what extent your thoughts are correct.

If you knew of the endless many opportunities to achieve maturity on the innumerable celestial bodies in the universe, you would never come to the conclusion that a soul will be returned again to earth. However, the immature soul has to go through many more embodiments indeed where it is able to prove itself and thereby make further progress. Thus the doctrine of re-incarnation is in fact based on truth but it does not mean that the soul will be born again in the flesh on this earth. It merely indicates the many opportunities of higher development on other creations, where the soul, either in physical or in spiritual form, is again presented with a task, the fulfilment of which will assure its ascent. It is an exception if a soul returns to this earth again to fulfil a spiritual mission, it cannot be generalised. Souls having passed away in a state of immaturity will also deem themselves living on earth. The areas they occupy make them believe that they were transported to extremely dreary, barren stretches of land, but they are actually on another planet which is suited to their souls’ maturity and which is inhabited by the most primitive creations, resulting in a meagre, depressive stay for the souls …. This is an opportunity for purification of very materialistic minded people, who have to overcome their desire in order to be placed on another work of creation for the purpose of further ascent, depending on their will.

You still love this earth too much and therefore associate the word ‘re-incarnation’ only with this earth as the dwelling place for a re-incarnated soul. But you should consider My love’s incredibly extensive work of creation, which only came about for the countless spiritual beings who have to take the path to perfection, and who will take this path in some form or other …. in physical creations, as long as the soul is not yet spiritualised and receptive for light, and in spiritual creations, where the spiritual soul can constantly ascend too, where it purifies itself ever more and makes itself receptive for the emanation of Myself.

Imagine eternity, behold the starry sky whose countless stars are the creations of My will of love, destined to accept souls in need of development …. and you will realise that this earth is not the only carrier of beings who are supposed to ascend and that it is truly not necessary to return the failed souls to earth again, although it is the only place for achieving the childship to God, but it cannot be deliberately and repeatedly chosen as a place to mature.

And thus the doctrine of frequent re-incarnation on this earth will have to be declared as a misguided teaching, which needs to be opposed as being harmful for souls, because it weakens people’s will and endangers the being’s sincere change in view of the expectation to be able to make up for any neglect in a repeated life until ultimate perfection ….

Love condition to be able to believe God’s word ….

B.D. 4591 from March 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The stronger your love for Me, which is expressed in active neighbourly love, the more receptive you will be for My word, wherever and in whatever form it is offered to you. Then you will recognize the father’s voice in My word which, however, will remain alien to you and leave you untouched if you lack love. And this is the solution to the riddle why so many people pass by and remain unimpressed by the word which is offered to them from above. They don’t have love and therefore don’t press towards the father like children, which is why they are also unable to hear the father’s voice. And therefore you should first preach love if you want to be successful with the greatest evidence of My fatherly love …. with My word, which is to change people. You should only acquaint them with the commandment, the observance of which signifies a way of life according to My will. Only then will the human being be able to be guided into truth through My word, i.e. the knowledge which is now imparted to him will now be understandable and believable to him. For faith is only the result of love, without love it is not possible for the human being to believe what spiritual knowledge is conveyed to him. And thus a high degree of love must fill the human being if he wants to hear My voice resounding within himself. You all could provide yourselves with the evidence if you believed these words and seriously made an effort to increase your degree of love. But your will is not enough for this, and you also make too little use of the grace of prayer to strengthen your will, to gain strength for loving activity, and thus you will never be able to penetrate the deepest knowledge which is soundly offered to you by Me Myself if you possess the necessary maturity. Hence you will only ever have to believe but you will not be able to provide yourselves with the evidence of the truth of what is imparted to you through My word. You must believe but you can also do so if only you live in love. Then your faith will be a convinced one, even without proof, for love is always the strength which enlivens everything and also turns faith into a living faith ….

Amen

God’s word proof of His presence ….

B.D. 4592 from March 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Believe My words and do not trouble yourselves with doubts and questions of all kinds. My word proves My presence to you, and thus I dwell where My word is sincerely desired and accepted. And therefore I am in the heart of the one who listens to Me and blessed are those who let Me speak to them. But who is He who makes Himself known to you through the voice of the spirit? It is the spirit, Who is from eternity and will be for all eternity, by Whom you were radiated into infinity as the tiniest spark, Who placed you as isolated beings in the midst of His creation and Who gave you the ability to think and want on your own authority. He gave your thinking and willing freedom, so that your development may now be an act of free will …. I Myself now instruct you in which way you should accomplish your development. Thus I Myself am in closest contact with you and am always present to you, consequently I will not want you to get lost to Me and keep you as long as you do not strive away from Me. And I will be victorious …. Do not fear My adversary but only give yourselves to Me and the adversary will lose all power over you …. If you hear Me Myself within you, you should drop all doubt and only ever receive the answer from My word. And I apparently manifest Myself to those who desire an answer for the sake of their souls because they are unable to hear it within themselves. Trust in My help …. it will become yours ….

Amen

Mission of the last disciples of the end time …. preaching the gospel ….

B.D. 4593 from March 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Your mission is a very important one, since many people are outside church communities and therefore also outside spiritual teachings which should help them to progress. Now you are to bring the gospel to them, you are to inform them of My will and of their obligation and responsibility towards the soul. Most of these people’s thinking is turned towards the world and therefore the spiritual realm is completely alien to them. Therefore you will first have to instruct them, you will have to direct their thoughts towards the life of the soul, into the spiritual kingdom, which is still unknown to them as long as they know nothing about it. As soon as you touch the sphere which is alien to the human being, the interest is awakened and the desire awakens to receive information about these spheres. And according to the strength of the desire he will now be instructed. You therefore have a beautiful task to enlighten completely ignorant people and to awaken the interest in them in order to then constantly impart to them a knowledge which you have received from the first source. This task can only be accomplished by people who desire the truth themselves and receive it in direct contact with Me …. These are therefore My last disciples, the disciples of the last days, whom I send out into the world again to bring the gospel to people. I know very well that it is far more difficult for them to believe and to represent their faith to the world, and therefore I give them the gift of speech so that they will recognize Who He is Who makes Himself known through the spirit. My disciples have to be strengthened, I have to approach them so that they themselves will be and remain profoundly faithful, I have to take special care of them and give them obvious signs from time to time that I Myself am present to them, otherwise they would become weak and would not be able to complete their mission. Furthermore, I must give them the understanding for the messages from above so that they will stand up for My word with zeal and conviction, so that they will be true representatives of Christ’s teaching, which I present to them in all purity from above. For there are many who need a hint; there are many who need spiritual guides; there are many who find a clear word of My love beneficial and now mentally deal with it; there are many who want to believe but cannot because they have not found the right teachers …. there are many who are grateful for right enlightenment and willingly listen to My messengers …. and to these you shall bring the gospel as it comes forth from Me; you shall inform them of what is about to happen and of My infinite love, you shall complete the work My disciples once started, you shall fulfil your mission eagerly, so that My adversary will be ousted and the prey he already believes to possess will be snatched away from him …. You shall be My rightful representatives on earth in the short time you humans still have until the end ….

Amen

God speaks through the heart …. the opponent of God through the mind ….

B.D. 4594 from March 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Obviously I want to manifest Myself to you, yet if you still don’t recognize Me even then because your will of rejection is stronger, My enticements will be in vain. Do not resist My grace, do not step out of the glow of My sun of love and pay attention to what is happening around you. For I will become clearer if you do not understand My language of love. Anyone who wants to be active for God works for God with every thought and every action, anyone who puts the world first works for God’s adversary …. And this is the yardstick for determining which will motivates a person to be active, for if a person’s will applies to Me he is also My labourer and, as My servant, will also be fully provided by Me with spiritual and earthly possessions. But anyone who works for Me should do so with his heart and not just with his intellect, for his intellect is truly not enough if he wants to pass judgment. Anyone who wants to serve Me will never be abandoned by Me with My grace, and he need never fear that an opposing power is stronger than Me and can overpower him. Anyone who thus desires Me has already withdrawn his will from My adversary and can no longer be determined by him to act and think wrongly. He just has to pay attention to the heart’s feeling and not allow the intellect to rule, for I speak to you humans through the heart and your heart will truly always let you recognize what is right, whereas the intellect is the door where My adversary seeks entrance and often finds it. Keep this door closed in front of him, withdraw into the chamber of the heart where it is light and bright, so that the sun of My love sends its rays into it and gives everyone who wants to serve Me what he needs in abundance. Become like children, listen to the father’s voice and follow it, and no harm will come to you, because then the father will be constantly present to you and protect you in every adversity and danger ….

Amen

Presence of God …. voice of the father …. right children ….

B.D. 4595 from March 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

I am with you if you hear My voice mentally or also audibly, as your maturity of soul allows. And you must feel My presence, otherwise it is not a living connection which you have entered into with Me through prayer. And thus you will also gain the conviction that you are in divine care, that nothing bad can approach you and that you are therefore My charges. Anyone who is not aware of this doubts My presence and thus My direct working on and in you, he also has no part in Me, he is distant from Me due to his resistance which results from his unbelief. Anyone who desires Me also possesses Me, anyone who doubts Me prevents Me Myself from approaching him. Thus you humans create for yourselves the relationship in which I stand with you. The God of love is always ready for you if you grant Him access into your heart and if you thus want to receive Me you need never fear that My adversary will intrude, thus you yourselves determine through your will who will take possession of you. And you will by no means be able to be satan’s prey as long as you strive towards Me and are willing to serve Me. Humanity is spiritually blind, it does not grasp the miracle which takes place where My word is conveyed from above to earth. And where I therefore work the world steps in and wants to extinguish the light from the heavens, it cannot bear the radiant shine and seeks to darken it. Where I work My adversary lurks there for the opportunity to cast shadows on the light, and the human being’s will encourages him. They shun the right light but chase after the will-o’-the-wisps, and soon they are unable to distinguish a right light from a will-o’-the-wisp. My spirit would enlighten them if they only paid attention to what the heart tells them. But they only let their intellect speak and it leads them wrongly. And thus only he will reach his aim who allows himself to be instructed by Me through his heart, who believes like a child and thus also recognizes the father’s voice, whether it sounds to him directly or through messengers …. it is always My word which wants to inform people and testifies of Me. Anyone who does not recognize this word of Mine is not Mine, he does not have Me as his father but the one who works against Me, who wants to push the children away from the father’s heart and who also has great power if the child isolates itself from the father, if it becomes apostate to Him. Don’t fall prey to him, otherwise your will will be weakened and you can only be helped through heartfelt contact, through conscious striving for My presence and unconditional submission of your will. Then My adversary’s activity will become apparent to you and My love will be victorious, for it applies to you as long as you live on earth and also in eternity ….

Amen

Announcement of judgement …. as in the time of the flood ….

B.D. 4596 from March 25th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

And thus you should continue to adhere to Me and desire My strength, for the day of terror is drawing ever closer for all people, whether they belong to Me or not. For they see themselves at the mercy of a power against which they cannot fight with their will. And I want them to tremble and shake, to consider the possibility of appealing to that power for help so that they establish contact with their creator and sustainer of eternity. People’s thinking is so confused and few are content with the silent love for Me which earns them firm faith, strength and spiritual progress, few live a life of humble submission and devotion to Me. The world takes its toll, and only a few are those who join Me so closely and, driven by the spirit within themselves, flee to Me in every adversity and distress. And it is like at the time of the flood of sin …. they have no respect for God and are therefore doomed. But I still want to save the few and also encounter resistance where I direct My flow of grace …. For satan rages and fights with all weapons because he knows that he has not much time left. Be careful that he does not deceive you and open your heart and eyes for the ray of love from above, for it is a source which must not be underestimated, and anyone who has once drunk from it will no longer be able to do without the living water, and if he spurns it he will have to pine away and remain lying by the wayside, for nothing else can offer him a substitute. Where My spirit is at work, there you will find yourselves and accept My gift of grace, and do not fear that I, as your father, will provide you with food that does not agree with you. Accept and eat, for the father, Who loves His children, offers it to you, and He will truly not treat you badly but only grant you what brings you closer to His heart.

Amen

Simple and spiritual sense of the teachings ….

B.D. 4597 from March 25th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You cannot grasp the depth of the instructions which are given to you through My love and grace, for you only understand the simple meaning but not the spiritual significance which every word of Mine still contains. But the simple knowledge is enough for you, for it fulfils the purpose of bringing the soul to maturity if the will is used correctly. Yet if you were to grasp the profound meaning of what I speak to you from above, your bliss would find no limits. It would be an everlasting vision into the spiritual kingdom, which is unsurpassable in its most glorious creations. But I mostly only let you receive earthly enlightenment so that you first fulfil your earthly task, which is why your spirit is certainly kept awake but does not exclusively concern itself with things which are still too early for you and only become comprehensible to the already more mature person. (26.3.1949) But with increasing maturity your capacity for comprehension also increases and the limits which are a condition in the state of imperfection can be exceeded. Then the soul is already open-minded and it can receive wisdom which is too high for the intellect alone. Then My teaching of love, which is in itself quite simple and comprehensible, will again and again illuminate and profoundly explain new problems, it will be recognized as an inexhaustible source of wisdom, it will bear witness to its founder and as a brightly shining light break through the darkness of night in a wide circle, i.e. give enlightenment to all who want to find their way out of their spiritual blindness and do not shy away from the light. Every word I have spoken on earth has eternal value, it is unchangeable and yet can be understood differently without, however, being able to be declared erroneous in one opinion. Yet a person’s state of maturity determines the different interpretation, and thus every word of Mine can also be interpreted differently without being a wrong judgment. Yet a spiritually awakened person will always be able to recognize agreement, thus no open contradiction will come to light which could lead to unbelief. But spiritually immature people often take offence at words which they would like to portray as a contradiction because they are incapable of understanding them. These, therefore, can hear or read My word and only grasp the purely worldly meaning. Hence they will not increase in realization and profound wisdom either, and consequently My word will then only trigger a weak feeling of happiness in the listener’s heart, which, however, could be unspeakably happy if the human being’s state of maturity were higher. For then the degree of knowledge and the ability to recognize will also increase, and the human being’s wisdom will constantly grow, although only the teaching of love, which originated from Me, will ever be presented to him ….

Amen

Commandment of love proof of truth …. content of the divine word: gospel ….

B.D. 4598 from March 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Only one basic law applies to the awakened one in the spirit: to believe unconditionally what is made known to him by the voice of the spirit. Then he will always stand in the truth. To the spiritually awakened person the voice of the spirit will only proclaim that which is in harmony with Jesus’ teaching of love, which is therefore only an explanation and justification of His commandment of love and can therefore irrevocably be regarded as God’s word. For even the most profound wisdom, which surpasses the simple gospel as it is known to people in terms of content, only ever emerges from the fulfilment of the commandment of love and again only testifies to God’s love and wisdom, thus it does not contradict His teaching. Therefore, where love is taught the spirit of God must be active, otherwise God’s adversary would already be in the process of turning back if he imparted the same teaching to people with the aim of uniting with God. It is so clearly evident that everything which points to God must also have God as its origin, and therefore you humans need not anxiously check which forces instruct you if you accept direct instructions from the spiritual kingdom, for all forces which try to educate the human being to love are also God-bound and work in God’s will. If such a teaching does not meet with human approval, if it is rejected or accepted with reluctance, then God’s adversary eagerly uses the opportunity to render it ineffective by scattering doubt upon doubt into people who want to recognize God’s working and therefore do not recognize the adversary’s working either. The beings of darkness will always use increased strength where the light from above wants to break through. You humans must always bear this in mind and not allow God’s adversary access to you through doubt. Again, only one thing can be said, that God does not hand people over to the power of the adversary who wants to reach Him. For God is love, God is the father of His children, and the father’s love will never let a child come to harm which trustingly hands itself over to Him and appeals for protection and grace. And this is a sure sign of the working of the spirit in the human being that he will also withstand the greatest temptation because he is permeated by the strength of the spirit and can also resist the strongest onslaught which is undertaken by God’s adversary against him. For the truth will prevail because God Himself is the truth and His word will endure for all eternity ….

Amen

"Keep My word …. come all ye to Me …."

B.D. 4599 from March 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Adhere to My word and don’t ponder and question whether it is to be understood differently than you feel in your heart. You can always draw comfort and strength from My word, and thus you need not live in fear and worry but can banish them at any time by letting Me speak to you. As the father of My children I know everything that moves them and presses them, and I stand by and wait until My children trustingly approach Me and ask Me for help. And I do not deny them what they ask for …. I have an answer ready for every anxious question, and I repeat what I said when I walked on earth: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened ….” Don’t let yourselves be weighed down by worldly worries which will dissolve into nothing again by themselves, but only remember your soul which will always receive strength, to which the strength from Me is imparted through My word, which is why receiving My word is the most necessary thing for you which you must not neglect. And that is why I so often let hardship and suffering come upon you because I want you to withdraw the strength from My word so that your souls will be strengthened. I want you to maintain an everlasting connection with Me, that you don’t put Me aside and let the world come to the fore. And if you are in danger I will approach you in the form of suffering and affliction. And then let Me speak to you …. And I will speak words to you which truly give you strength and comfort and shall be evidence of My presence, of My knowledge about your adversity and of My love. I only want you to come to Me of your own accord in order to feel your trust which makes Me happy, and I want to remind you of all My words which I spoke to people on earth who were in the same spiritual and earthly adversity. And you will recognize Me Myself in the word, because you recognize the divine origin through the gift of strength, and thus you will also be firm in your faith, which I want to help you achieve through My word ….

Amen

Keep My word! …. remember the end! ….

B.D. 4600 from March 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The probationary period will soon be over for each one of you, for it is coming to an end. You will begin to lull yourselves into security again, and this is dangerous for your soul which turns to the world again as soon as it believes itself to have escaped the impending disaster. And into this security the call will sound: Remember the end …. Then suddenly people will remember My admonitions and warnings when world events prove My announcements with surprising clarity. And now you have to prepare yourselves for the end with increased will, pay all attention to your soul’s life and, through increased activity of love for your neighbour, gain the strength to resist the earthly battle. Whatever you tackle, be it spiritual or earthly work, you must first intimately unite with Me in order to be able to carry out the work, otherwise you will be too weak in view of the great adversity among people which paralyses all strength if I don’t assist you and give you strength. Keep to My word, I call to you more urgently than ever: Keep to My word, consider that My word is the emanation of Myself, Who placed My strength of love into this form in order to give you an effective means which you can use at any time when you are in need …. My emanation of strength must truly be unsurpassable in its effectiveness. You need only try it out and immerse yourselves in My word if earthly suffering weighs you down. Then a heavenly calm will come over you and you will leave everything to Me in the firm confidence that I will help you …. And I will help you …. I will direct your thoughts and always guide you along the paths which will enable you to reach your aim, be it spiritually or earthly, for I will also take care of you earthly in the coming time. Keep to My word and don’t let any doubts arise in you, for undoubted faith will let you become master over all opposition, undoubted faith will be victorious, for undoubted faith will let you become aware of My presence and all fear will disappear in you, because where I am there can be no defeat and because everything will be surmountable for you if I stand by your side with My love and My strength ….

Amen

Test the spirits …. Act of Salvation …. Criterion Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 4601 from March 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

By the contents of the proclamations it is easily established whose spirit reveals itself, and attention must always be paid as to whether and in what way the divine Redeemer is mentioned, because this is of greatest importance in the scrutiny of mystic proclamations. If Jesus Christ is acknowledged as Redeemer of the world then it is the most certain guarantee that the proclamation has come from above, that the spirit of God speaks through a person who is receptive to Him, hears His voice and passes it on as His Word. In that case the human being need not have the slightest qualms anymore and he can be certain that purest truth touches his ear and that he fulfils God’s will by distributing the Word from above. Then he will have reached a particular degree of maturity which allows for a direct transfer of truth, for the act of Salvation is a mystery which can only be unveiled when the necessary understanding for it exists in a human being. Only when a person is in contact with the spiritual kingdom himself, which enables a direct communication, will he understand Christ’s act of Salvation, that is, he will be able to comprehend and explain the problem of ‘Jesus Christ – God’, because the miracle which turned Jesus Christ into a divine man is paralleled by this person’s spiritual activity, even though to an incomparably lesser extent. Nevertheless, Jesus’ divinity is no longer a question for him, and he can also explain it to his fellow human beings with conviction, because the act of God’s spiritual working is taking place in him which is evidenced by the received spiritual knowledge from above. Anyone who therefore conducts an examination in order to establish which forces are at work during such a transmission will soon become convinced of the truth providing he is not impervious to the Book of the Fathers or rejects it. God will not leave His Own in doubt, and He will never leave a person who desires the truth in ignorance. And so He Himself advised people to test the spirits whether they are of God, and at the same time specified the criterion of truth and that of error.

For this reason people can unhesitatingly advocate the truth of the received proclamations from above, not even the slightest doubt need trouble their heart, for Jesus Christ offers Himself as a touchstone, because His adversary will never acknowledge Him and His human manifestation or inform people of Christ’s act of Salvation. Jesus Himself says ‘I Am the way, the truth, and the life ….’ Thus anyone who walks with Him, who speaks on His behalf, who professes Him, must also know the truth without fail and cannot go astray. Consequently, proclamations pertaining to Him and His act of Salvation can never be inspired by the adversary, who will not mention His name. They must absolutely be acknowledged and judged as divine working, otherwise faith in God’s Word as well as the process of the working of the spirit would be invalid which, however, gives evidence of itself through the reception of spiritual proclamations. Anyone who hears the voice of the spirit within himself will also be able to refute all objections yet only find credence where the spirit can likewise be at work, albeit not as obviously as with the recipient of spiritual proclamations. Someone who is influenced by negative forces will seek to portray everything of a divine nature as implausible, for it is the sign that God’s adversary is at work by trying to plunge people into confusion, because he fights the truth and would like to extinguish the light from the heavens. Therefore you were given an indication which you need only pay attention to in order to be able to judge clearly and to reject the evil influence, so that you can endorse the truth within yourselves as well as towards your fellow human beings. And you can rest assured that God Himself will support those who are working for Him, because it is His will that the pure truth shall be spread and continue to exist, but that He will also separate the chaff from the wheat ….

Eternal damnation ….

B.D. 4602 from March 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

God’s mercy knows no bounds, God’s love is infinite, His patience immeasurable, and for this reason His living creation cannot be lost forever or He would not be perfect. For this reason it is wrong to speak about eternal damnation, if it is to be understood as a concept of time which intends to describe something that is never-ending. For this kind of eternal damnation would then signify something completely lost to God …. thus a spiritual being would finally be relinquished to His adversary, which originally had emerged from God and was taken away from Him by His adversary …. But in that case this adversary would be greater than God, to a certain extent he would be the victor and superior to God’s might and strength which, however, is and never will be possible, for no being is able to surpass His perfection, might and wisdom.

What has emerged from Him will eternally remain His in possession, it will just be separated from Him for a time, that is, it has distanced itself from Him to the greatest extent due to its own will. Yet even this distance is not a permanent condition because the being, in order to be happy, has to be affected by God’s emanation of strength and …. if it lacks the will for this itself, it will be seized by God’s love and mercy which wants to provide it with the state of bliss. Hence eternal damnation would contradict God’s love and mercy, or they would be limited, whereby God’s perfection would suffer a loss. An utterly perfect Being has no human weaknesses, but eternal wrath would be an inferior human attribute, just as every eternally lasting state of punishment could not be called a divine principle, for the Divine is characterised by love …. Love, however, saves and helps; it forgives and will never push something away from itself forever.

In contrast, the adversary lacks the divine principle of love, and it will always be his objective to pull the spiritual beings down to himself forever. He is the one who causes confusion to people’s concept of eternity, who tries to portray God as merciless and harsh in order to stifle people’s love for Him …. he is the one who does not know mercy himself and therefore unhesitatingly aims to render the souls miserable, who wants to deprive them of every opportunity of help in order to corrupt them forever. And he finds many followers of his doctrine of eternal damnation …. who do not recognise God in His infinite love or they would be unable to believe this teaching. Yet the truth will always be conveyed to people and the error glaringly brought to light, so that God will be recognised and loved as the most perfect Being, so that people will join Him and abhor His opponent ….

Amen

Success of the forces of light or darkness is determined by man through his will ….

B.D. 4603 from April 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

It remains a constant battle between the powers of light and darkness as long as the spiritual is not completely redeemed. The struggling human being is influenced by both sides, the kingdom of light tries to influence his will and impart the knowledge of truth to him, the dark forces try to push him away and confuse his thinking, and the human being has to decide for himself so that he remains free in his will and actions. And he can make this decision with his heart or also with his intellect. The beings of the kingdom of light speak to the heart, the beings of darkness speak to the intellect, yet the heart and intellect can also feel pleasantly touched by the influence of the beings of light, and then his decision is completely valid, the beings of light are granted victory and the powers of darkness are rendered ineffective forever. But God’s adversary will not give up the fight so easily and he will fight with all means, not even shying away from blinding those people in the garment of light who are still accessible to his influence. Although he will not be able to penetrate with his influence, i.e., to completely win such people over for himself, his influence reaches so far as to prevent them from working for the kingdom of God, he makes them, so to speak, unfit for it and has thus gained much. God’s grace is an extremely effective antidote, but the human being must not reject it in false knowledge, otherwise the adversary will win his game. But the most effective means of grace is God’s word, which will always and in all situations of life radiate strength to the one who receives it with his heart. Therefore, whoever holds the word of God against His adversary will also be victorious over him, for he is no match for the divine word because it is an expression of God’s strength from which he escapes. Consequently, the human being can emerge victorious from his struggle if he makes use of God’s strength which is available to him unmeasured in His word. With it he can defeat the strongest enemy …. if he uses the divine word himself, he represents God Himself to a certain extent and therefore cannot be defeated. His will, his heart and his love must be fully turned towards God, then God Himself will fight by his side and victory is assured. For what is more understandable than that everyone who wants to go to God also enjoys His protection and finds support from God in every way. And even if the powers of darkness always harass the human being …. God will not let those fall into darkness who seek the light and consciously strive towards it …. and He will also save those who are still weak-willed, who cannot resist the dark forces themselves and yet want what is right …. Help will come to them at the right time ….

Amen

Wooing for the love of God ….

B.D. 4604 from April 3rd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Anyone who wants to win God’s affection must court His love, thus do everything that is pleasing to Him. He must deeply unite with Him, long for the closest union with Him and only ever listen to the expression of His will which is, as it were, placed in his heart. To be loved by God is a state of bliss that is incomparable and is also only consciously felt by a few people. God’s love is indeed meant for all His creations but its strength will be differently effective depending on the relationship between the creature and the creator. And therefore the human being himself must shape the relationship such that he is able to feel the strength of divine love. God is always ready for love, and the human being should make use of this and acquire His love through heartfelt devotion and acceptance of God’s will. He should let himself be drawn by Him, he should give up all resistance, he should open himself to God’s emanation of love in order to then be able to receive what will make him unspeakably happy. And all this requires complete surrender of the world with all its joys and goods …. furthermore, it necessitates the surrender of everything of earthly value to the human being, the sacrifice of all pleasing things in order to exchange them for God’s love, which alone wants to fill the human being’s heart. What you love on earth you must give away if you want to receive Him into your heart and enjoy His presence. And if you are able to sacrifice, God will reward you for your love …. And if you separate yourselves from covetous possessions for His sake, His eye will rest upon you with pleasure and you will feel His strength of love. And you will not regret it, for what you give you will receive back a thousand times over. God’s love is a most delicious gift which allows nothing else to arise beside it, and it is up to you to receive this delicious gift when nothing else seems desirable to you and you only strive to be blissfully happy in union with God. Then your heart will be shaped to receive Him Who can already give you the highest happiness on earth and one day in eternity …. Then His love will belong to you, which you will feel in its strength ….

False prophets …. light …. darkness and dark figures ….

B.D. 4605 from April 3rd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Spiritual darkness is spread over the earth and people feel comfortable in this night and do not desire the light of day. They don’t know the benefit of full light, which would be true knowledge for them, therefore they also don’t strive for the brightness of spirit and flee when the light breaks through the night with a bright glow, and therefore their ability of knowledge also remains undeveloped, they constantly move in darkness and get lost and don’t come closer to God as the eternal light. And thus dark figures can also operate unhindered and ply their unclean trade, false teachers and prophets can make themselves heard because they are not recognized as false and take advantage of the darkness of spirit to spread error in places where there should be light and error is now presented as truth. People are blind in spirit and want to guide other blind people, and if a light shines for them, then they extinguish it so that their dark deeds will not be revealed. And this is how it looks on the whole earth because the time is fulfilled, or else, the time is fulfilled because a dark night lies over the earth, which has to give way to the morning. And although the end is near and people should recognize this end by the signs, they remain unaffected by it and think that what seers and prophets have proclaimed will pass them by. But what false prophets tell them they believe, and therefore everything lies in the battle against each other …. true and false prophets appear against each other, truth and lie want to assert themselves, light and darkness fight for supremacy, and good and bad forces seek to gain influence, and the human being is at the mercy of the powers according to his will. And since the earth is in darkness, people’s will is also weakened and they will not fight against him who is the prince of darkness and who opposes every light. And thus the adversary’s power will soon become apparent, for people’s thinking becomes confused and can no longer distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. The evil forces are extremely active and find little resistance, on the other hand the light-filled spiritual world is denied its activity because it is not allowed to work against people’s will and this will turns towards God’s adversary. It is the time of the end. It can be recognized by the fact that people no longer know the father’s voice when He speaks to them. They no longer have a share in Him, Who is the light and from Whom they have distanced themselves …. Wherever He approaches them they hide until it is dark again in their surroundings, then they emerge again and continue to walk the lightless path which leads astray. And so it is also understandable that they do not recognize the guides on the path who would like to lead them into brightness but cannot do so against the will of the blind in spirit. And so the end comes, a new day dawns, but only for those who desire the light, for the others, however, an endlessly long night comes ….

Amen

Prediction for the end ….

B.D. 4606 from April 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Pay attention to what I say to you: You will only live on this earth for a short time in order to then, according to your degree of maturity, either have the new earth as your abode in a different form or dwell on it as a human being in paradise. And no matter how unbelievable it may seem to you, you will soon be able to convince yourselves of the truth of My proclamations and experience something which will shake you tremendously and perhaps also make you a believer. And therefore I repeatedly point out to you that the end will soon be reached and that you create and work in vain if you strive to gain earthly-material goods. And I admonish you ever more urgently to remember your soul, which alone benefits from your earthly activity if it was exclusively active in the service of neighbourly love. And therefore don’t let the desire for the world grow strong in you, for the world will not last much longer, then you will have worked in vain. I will announce to you that the time is near and you will feel by yourselves when the hour has struck. You will be attacked as ridiculous fantasists and you will be rejected everywhere, yet don’t let this disturb you but hold on all the more tenaciously to what I have told you and soon you will feel that I direct all your paths and that I know everything and also see the distress into which you often fall. And the more life burdens you with its demands, the more you are expected to do, the more certain you can expect the end, for My word will come true …. You should also know that it will only last a short time and that you therefore have to devote all your strength to your soul in order to make productive use of the short time. I will still give you a last characteristic as soon as the last event is approaching. But I call out to My servants on earth: Not much longer, then the time will come and you will inwardly rejoice despite all hardship, after all, you now recognize the truth, and you also live in hope of a speedy end and then a more beautiful life in eternity, I will not let your faith be shattered, and I will safely guide you through all adversity and not rest until I know you are safe, until I recognize that you can cover the time until the end without danger for your soul. Then I will release your will for a very short time, that is, I will allow an apparent worldly improvement and it will become apparent that the end is near because it is so proclaimed by seers and prophets so that people will recognize by the signs in which hour they live. Then you only need to commend yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for mercy, and the suffering will pass you by so that you can serve Me where I need you and where the last souls are to be saved. And then the end will come, the day when I will sit in judgment and the souls will all be called to account and receive their just reward, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ….

Amen

'Satan prowls around like a roaring lion ….' 'Watch and pray …. '

B.D. 4607 from April 5th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Wherever I know a child is in danger My love is willing to grant every help and I will rescue it from the control of the one who is My opponent and the enemy of My children. Wherever a soul struggles and intends to fulfil My will My adversary’s power truly need not be dreaded, for I caringly attend to those who push towards Me. And I will not abandon My children in their distress, I will erect a wall around them over which no-one will be able to climb unless I open the gate Myself and lead them to you …. Satan prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour …. Remember these Words and don’t be surprised, for the time of the end has come when he knows that he has not much time left, and when he makes every effort to achieve My living creation’s downfall, when he uses means which aim to help him to succeed. How often have I pointed the dangers you are in out to you, for a fierce battle will start between the forces of light and darkness. You will all be subjected to this battle, but especially those who lead a spiritual life next to their earthly one. For they are involved in thoughts of Me and therefore particularly provoke My adversary’s hostilities in order to stop them. His battle strategy is often successful because he knows people’s weaknesses and uses them against them in order to overpower them. You humans, however, have unlimited blessings at your disposal. You can gain victory over him with My help. Don’t fear him but courageously stand up to him; know that you are strong and unassailable if you love Me and send a quiet thought to Me that I will remain with you in your battle against him …. And he will take flight from you because he cannot stand My presence. You are stronger than he is as soon as you enter the battle with Me …. I have no share in that which emerges from the nether world. I stay with My children, and even if these children of Mine only voluntarily place themselves at the Father’s disposal, are obedient to Him, as soon as He informs them of His will regarding the work in His vineyard.

I call those My children who recognise the Father’s voice and pay attention to His call …. and, if I give them a task, who are always willing to stand up for Me, thus to actively teach if I educate them as a teacher. Hence, whoever wants to be accepted as My child must also come to the Father like a child and get from Him the instructions for his journey through life. And if I then ask that My teaching shall be spread when I Myself send My teaching to earth through the voice of the spirit, then this teaching must be sacred to him and he must accept and highly value it as the purest truth from the heavens.

In that case, however, it will also always remain the best and most sacred to him which he will no longer renounce, because it is strength from above which will also automatically pull him upwards. But to relinquish My gift very seriously violates the obedience owed to Me by a child and consequently cannot be a blessing either. And then you will be able to recognise the adversary’s influence and have to protect yourselves from it. This is why I draw your attention to it and indicate the signs by which you will be able to recognise him: he will appear as an angel of light to those whose faith is still weak and dazzle them, their eyes will get increasingly weaker and, in the end, no longer recognise what is right, because they only too willingly listened to him and let themselves be deceived by his mask. However, he will only have control over you if you doubt the pure truth. Then he will use your uncertainty and lead you astray …. ‘For he prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour …. ‘ But you shall watch and pray so as not to fall during the temptation ….

Amen

"I will not leave you orphans …." (John 14)

B.D. 4608 from April 6th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

I will not leave you orphaned …. I don’t want you to be alone in the world and feel lonely in spirit, and therefore I have promised you that I will come to you and take up residence with you in order to be your constant comforter and protector in spiritual and earthly adversity. Believe these words and feel safe and secure in the knowledge that I am always around you, Who guides your every path, Who is vigilant that you do not harm your body and soul. For what I say is truth and cannot be eternally overturned by people who want to criticize and falsify My word. If I have given you this promise to care for you like a father, who will already be abandoned on earth for the sake of My name, then rejoice that My word comes true and that you have the most certain evidence of it through the voice within you which constantly announces My nearness to you and lets you hear true, fatherly words of love. Believe this voice and don’t let it be drowned out by voices which come from outside. You have something delicious if you are allowed to hear Me Myself within you, and only then will you understand the words correctly: I will not leave you orphaned …. I want to lift up the depressed, the afflicted, the anxious and those who feel weak, and I will take special care of them. I will never deny My help to anxious people if they ask Me for it, for I am a God of love and a true father of My children. But I will also never speak against Myself, I will not give two commandments which contradict each other and I will not send messengers in My stead where I can speak Myself, where a child asks Me Myself for clarification and help in spiritual distress. For I am always present to the child if it seeks to fulfil My will. I truly don’t need representatives where I can express Myself …. Therefore do not fear but only believe …. He who knows everything is close to you and holds you so that you will not fall ….

Amen

Conviction of the truth can only be found within the human being himself ….

B.D. 4609 from April 7th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Nothing can give you the conviction of truth if you don’t try to find it within yourselves, that is, if you don’t have the will to attain knowledge of the eternal wisdom from God. Even convincing words do not give you the assurance as long as you do not let the spirit speak within you, thus you are given information from within. Only then will the words conveyed to you from outside be accepted by you because you emotionally confess them, and only then will you be able to believe with conviction. If I convey My word to you but you don’t directly request clarification from Me it is no proof of truth for you, and you humans will always oppose it with your own wisdom and be undecided as to what you should believe. Firm faith can only come when you want to believe yourselves, but you will never be forced to believe, instead it is merely the product of free will, so that faith can be acquired in itself if the will exists to be convinced. Thus the human being must want to believe in order to be able to believe …. the human being must feel so touched by the divine, which speaks from My word, that he will then use every opportunity to increase his knowledge and seriously think about it if it is offered to him from Me. Then he will recognize in a clear spirit what he can accept and what he must reject.

Amen

Commitment of those who receive the word of God ….

B.D. 4610 from April 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Every person who has first recognized this as true has the duty to stand up for what is visibly divine spiritual good, otherwise he is unworthy to receive the bread of heaven if he does not respect the delicious gift and does not value it for what it is. If the divine word is offered to a person through God’s great love then it is an act of mercy of utmost importance, then a flow of grace pours over the person for which he cannot be grateful enough, for the path upwards becomes easily passable as a result, it is brightly illuminated and thus easier to tread and leads to the aim. Thus it is an extraordinary privilege which God grants to the human being because He recognizes in him the ability to work with the gifts now imparted to him according to God’s will. It is merely up to his will how he uses the gift of grace from above, because no compulsion is ever exerted on a person by God, yet all possibilities are made available to him to be obedient to divine will. With the acceptance of the gift of grace he therefore also enters into an obligation to a certain extent …. that of the right utilization of what God’s love presents to him. He must therefore give something in return,

(10.4.1949) his willingness to carry what he receives to his fellow human beings, he must give his will and his strength in order to promote the spreading of the spiritual good. He must be constantly active as a labourer in the vineyard of the lord. Only then will he prove himself worthy of those privileges and be blessed on earth and in the beyond. Now it is a difficult start to want to impart these gifts to people who are only materially minded, as it is work in general which requires love, patience and perseverance if it is to be successful. And that is why the worker for the kingdom of God also needs increased strength so that he does not become tired and sloppy in his activity. Therefore, he must first adhere to the divine word himself, he must satisfy himself with the bread of heaven in order to receive strength for his earthly path and to generally stand up for what he brings to his fellow human beings. For as soon as he seriously works for the kingdom of God he will also have to expect hostile resistance, and he must be prepared for this. But the resistance comes from the one who is against the truth. And thus it is understandable that every person who seriously works for God will be presented with opposing knowledge, that the lie and error will obviously show themselves where the truth is represented from God. And now the battle begins between light and darkness …. A good worker in the vineyard of the lord will always be able to cope with this battle because he possesses the power of knowledge and the ability to judge clearly. Nevertheless, he will be badly pressed and only find and accept support and strength for resistance in the word itself. And therefore he himself must constantly accept heavenly nourishment because only then can he withstand the enemy’s attacks. Therefore this is also an obligation to make use of God’s delicious gift of love as often as possible, to let it work on him and to let the strength emanating from the word of God constantly radiate through him in order to now also be and remain suitable for the task he has chosen for himself, in order to be able to offer resistance when the enemy will proceed more and more against the supply of pure truth from above. For his aim is to extinguish the light and let people sink into greatest darkness in order to win them over completely for himself. God, however, stands by everyone who wants to serve Him and strengthens him with His strength and His grace through the constant supply of His word ….

Amen

Forfeiting the gift of grace ….

B.D. 4611 from April 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

I want you to see and give you light, and you seek to extinguish the light which comes from above and which alone gives you illumination of spirit. I have opened your eyes and let you see into the light, and you have therefore

(11.4.1949) received an extraordinary gift of grace. You entered My will and were therefore able to receive a gift from Me which can only be given to someone who willingly gives himself to Me and has therefore given up all opposition. I gave you soul food because I love you and want to draw you to Me and because only a well-formed soul can approach Me. I therefore gave you the bread of heaven, My word …. I enlightened your spirit so that it could instruct you from within, so that it imparts knowledge to you which corresponds to truth, because I want you to escape spiritual darkness, so that you clearly recognize what you are, where you come from and what your purpose is, so that you recognize your origin, your relationship to Me, your father and creator of eternity, and so that you know what task you have to fulfil in earthly life …. I am with you with My fatherly love and you do not recognize Me and try to withdraw from My influence. I gave you light and you withdraw into darkness again …. And I cannot keep you, for I do not force your will, but it turns to a false light which shines incredibly brightly and lures you into deepest darkness, because it does not last, for it will not satisfy you in the long run because it is not from Me and does not correspond to My will either, Who offered you the purest truth which may not be rejected if the human being does not want to forfeit a gift of grace which is extremely precious and significant for eternity. You will never ever be able to see this way, you will never ever be able to receive the truth which you can indeed receive from within, but only if you listen to Me. And I came to you Myself, I spoke to you through the mouth of a disciple, and you had to recognize My word and accept it as the only truth. As soon as the same is offered to you from another side I am likewise with you Myself, and then you will not reject the first but only find the confirmation of the pure truth. But if knowledge is imparted to you which does not correspond to the former, then stay away from it, don’t reject what is intended to make you happy, what is visibly My spirit’s working and testifies to My presence …. Test yourselves how far you surrender to Me, how far your will submits to Mine …. Examine yourselves and listen to the voice of the heart and want to possess the truth …. for the will for truth strengthens your ability to recognize and gives you the right understanding for everything you are offered ….

Amen

Prophetic spirit …. God's plan of salvation – end time ….

B.D. 4612 from April 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Throughout the ages the prophetic spirit has been effective in order to point people to the end, and constant indications were needed because people did not have the right attitude towards Me and thus also towards spiritual life, which made their earthly course of life an unsuccessful one if they were not helped in some way. They had to be made acutely aware of the fact that earthly life will come to an end one day. The death of the individual, which could also surprise them, no longer frightened them, thus a complete passing away of earth had to be held out to them so that they thought of their end and changed their way of life, i.e. directed their thoughts spiritually. The reference to the end merely aimed at a serious self-examination of the state of the soul as long as the human being was not yet completely without faith. But faith was a prerequisite, otherwise even an end of the world, a downfall of the old earth, would never frighten people because an unbelieving person would consider it impossible. But if faith has been lost to man, such indications are also unsuccessful and prophetic proclamations are, according to human opinion, fantasies of religiously minded people, which could not be granted the slightest probability. Therefore, the reference to the near end will also remain without impression, and that is the time when the end is really to be expected. For as soon as the earth predominantly supports unbelieving people it no longer fulfils its actual purpose as a maturing station for the spiritual, since a spiritual life is hardly ever lived anymore …. and only the smallest flock of My own lives a way of life in serious striving towards Me which corresponds to My will. This small flock now has something extraordinary to champion; it will be able to convince itself that the prophecies of the seers and prophets will come true and that a tremendous change will take place in the cosmos which, however, is eternally foreseen in My plan of salvation because it is necessary for the spiritual’s ascent development. Only the unbeliever will doubt, but the believer will recognize the true end by the signs of the times. Only the unbeliever rejects the proclamations which hold out the prospect of the downfall of the old earth, but the believer knows that the time has come, just as he is convinced that seers and prophets proclaim the truth and that it must one day come true. Every person can easily convince himself of how far humanity has fallen in its spiritual realization, how far the adversary is recognized as lord amongst humanity, how weak faith has become on everyone’s part and already recognize from this that the end is near and that the time has come when I must intervene in order not to still leave the small flock of believers to the adversary, in order to reward them for their faith and loyalty which they prove to Me in the midst of the unbelievers. The end is near and you only have little time left …. you can firmly believe this and be firmly assured of the truth of My word …. For My word must come to pass, and it will come to pass because the time has come ….

Amen

The weak will not experience the end ….

B.D. 4613 from April 13th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The weak will not experience the end …. I certainly know the nature of every individual person’s soul; I know their will and their degree of maturity, which is also the extent of their strength of will in the last battle of faith. I know that this final acknowledgment of Me will require immense strength which only few people will be able to muster, and that it will necessitate an utterly living faith in order to stand firm and remain faithful to Me. For this reason the gates of paradise on the new earth will be opened to those who are faithful supporters and acknowledge Me, so that their demonstrated love for Me until the end will be rewarded.

But people of weak faith will not survive this last battle on earth. I shall avert the risk of their apostasy from Me so as not to let them fall into My adversary’s hands and in order to give them the opportunity of continuing their development in the kingdom of the beyond which, after the end of this world, will no longer be possible for a very long time. They will not be able to cope with the demands and strains of the last days and will end their purely physical life before this time, for they will not oppose Me, but they will merely lack the profound, living faith which would enable them to be true advocates of Christ. And there will be many who will indeed choose Me, who will carry the faith in a God of love and wisdom within themselves, yet who will not increase it sufficiently to entrust themselves to Me without worry and appeal for My help. These souls will be taken from earth by Me or they would go astray for a very long time.

The strong, however, will remain faithful to Me until the end and will be raptured by Me before the destruction of the old earth. This process has to be plausible to you, and it should be equally understandable to you that the weak souls will not inhabit the paradise of the new earth, which can only bear spiritually mature human beings who permit My presence amongst them, as I have promised you. There has to be a separation of the goats from the sheep in the end. The old period of development will end with the banishment of the failed spiritual essence into solid matter, and a new era will start with a mature human generation, which will already find itself in a state of bliss on earth because it will have endured and have been sufficiently tested by Me on earth. This level of a soul’s maturity allows for My presence amongst My children. But weak and still immature souls would not be able to endure My presence. Consequently, the new earth will not be a suitable abode for them; nevertheless, they will continue to ascend in the spiritual kingdom and, due to their prematurely finished life, will also enjoy privileges in the spiritual kingdom which will help their ascent. This is the separation of the spirits, which has always been proclaimed through Word and Scripture ….

(Easter Maundy Thursday)

B.D. 4614 from April 14th 194, taken from Book No. 53

Overcoming death through Jesus Christ ….

The world has been redeemed from sin. People should rejoice and exult if they were aware of this great grace which spares them an unspeakably difficult fate in the beyond if they make use of it, that is, if they ask for forgiveness of the guilt of sin by believing in the redemption through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ accomplished the act of salvation, which is so significant for all beings on earth and in the spiritual kingdom, and people take so little notice of it and do not value this inconceivable grace …. Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified out of love for His fellow human beings and rose again from the dead on the third day …. He overcame death and wanted all people to share in the sacrifice which His love offered for people, He wanted them to become conquerors of death too, so that they no longer needed to fear death and could therefore enter eternal life because He broke down the barriers through the act of salvation, the full significance of which cannot be grasped as long as man remains on earth. He has overcome death …. and thereby a spell has been broken …. People who were unfree due to the past sin of rebellion against God, whose will was under the influence of His adversary and who were unable to free themselves from him, are now able to free themselves from God’s adversary through Christ’s crucifixion if they call upon Jesus Christ for help in every adversity for the sake of the act of salvation which the man Jesus accomplished for His fellow human beings. Thus Jesus is God’s intercessor for all those who believe in Him and strive to live as followers of Christ, i.e. to be loving and to fulfil His commandments. Then he does what God has given him to do during his earthly existence, then he frees himself from the bonds of death, for to be in bondage to God’s adversary is the certain death of his soul. Jesus overcame death …. He was a human being and also died as a human being, although He was filled with the spirit of God and was also able to avert the most bitter death, which He had chosen Himself, by virtue of His unlimited power. He offered the sacrifice to God as a human being and thereby overcame His adversary by selflessly only thinking of His fellow human beings’ suffering and guilt of sin and wanting to ease their fate, which is and was the result of sin. And God accepted the sacrifice …. He forgives the guilt of those who call upon Jesus as mediator for His grace and intercession. But accepting the sacrifice and forgiving the guilt of sin secures the awakening to life in eternity …. Thus there is no longer death, for after bodily death the soul enters the kingdom of light for eternal life. But only the souls of those who acknowledge Him, who believe in Him as the son of God and redeemer of the world …. People should be triumphant that death has now been overcome and that Jesus has accomplished this work, for now death has lost its terror because there is an awakening in the spiritual kingdom, because God’s adversary no longer has power over the human being if he surrenders himself to the divine redeemer and appeals for His help, for strengthening of the will and the graces of the work of salvation …. for the forgiveness of the guilt of sin which the human being brought with him as an inheritance of the once fallen spiritual, to which he himself belongs …. He is redeemed from this sin through Jesus Christ, and he should rejoice and be glad when he considers the love of the man Jesus, who accomplished the most difficult thing on earth of which a human being was ever capable ….

(Good Friday)

B.D. 4615 from April 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Death of the cross …. work of redemption ….

Jesus gave His life on the cross, He took upon Himself the most disgraceful death, which was punishment and atonement for the criminals, who were denied any improvement. He condescended to this death which He could have averted from Himself by virtue of His power and glory, for the fullness of God’s spirit dwelled in Him which He, however, no longer used in view of the work of mercy He wanted to accomplish in order to help His fellow human beings. Out of His deepest love came the will for this deed, the love was so strong that the human will also experienced a strengthening through it which made Him capable of this work. Love drove Him and His human will carried out what love commanded Him to do. And thus He took torments and humiliations upon Himself which contradicted His divine nature and which therefore tormented Him unspeakably but which also strengthened His will to redeem people from this morass of sin. He took pity on the great spiritual hardship in which humanity languished, who, as a result of sin, no longer knew anything about their fate on earth and in the beyond, who were heading towards immense suffering in the kingdom of the beyond and were completely unaware of their state. He took pity on their lack of light and their complete dependence on the one who was to blame for their descent into the abyss. And He wanted to pull them back, He wanted to give them the opportunity to walk towards a blissful state in full freedom of will. He wanted to impart strength to them where they were too weak themselves, and He only acquired the gift of divine strength to strengthen the will through His death on the cross …. He wanted to distribute wealth into whose possession He first had to place Himself through His sacrifice of atonement for the whole of humanity. Sin weighed upon it, its effect had to be lessened; but God’s righteousness did not allow for the redemption of the greatest guilt of sin without a sacrifice, if the eternal deity did not want to lower Himself towards His creatures. And in the realization of this eternal order the man Jesus decided to make a sacrifice to God as far as it was possible for His human body. His love for humanity motivated Him to do so, and therefore God accepted the sacrifice because love redeems everything, because love is the strongest power and appeases God’s wrath, i.e. His justice is fully satisfied where love is the driving force of every action. But the sacrifice was excessive …. It exceeded the strength of a human being and was therefore also valued excessively, in that full forgiveness of the guilt of sin is assured to those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world, who unite with Him in thought and will to follow Him …., who therefore seriously endeavour to live a life of love, just as Jesus did on earth, in order to show people the only path to eternal life, which is only recognizable through a life of love and which was crowned by Him through the most painful death on the cross ….

Amen

Spiritual work …. predictions for the end ….

The grace you receive is indescribably great if I speak to you Myself and you thus enter the circuit of My love. But you must want to serve Me in full awareness, you must have offered yourselves to Me as a servant of your own free will, otherwise this immense grace cannot flow to you. You must want to work for Me and My kingdom. This assurance of will has to be given first, only then can the working of My spirit begin in a form which is unusual and therefore only rarely recognized by people as My working. But once this process takes place through the human being’s will, I protectively stand behind it and ward off all spiritual forces which want to intervene in a disruptive or disintegrating way. And so hear the following: Humanity certainly takes pity on Me and I hear every call for help and mercy; I also recognize the will and the striving of My faithful, but I clearly see the influence of My adversary in its effect and the complete failure of the greater part of humanity …. and My mercy also applies to it, only the path to salvation is different than you humans imagine. And therefore there can no longer be any delay, that is why My plan of eternity is unalterable, and that is why I constantly draw people’s attention to what will come in a short time. Anyone who knows about My eternal plan of salvation is active as a co-worker for My kingdom, otherwise this knowledge will not be conveyed to him or he will not be receptive to it. This is why the information about it will always meet with resistance and yet it is profound truth, because My word has to come true, which predicts the end from the start of this era, which will occur when people’s spiritual state has reached a degree that an end only signifies salvation for the spiritual, because My mercy will not allow anything to be lost forever and therefore everything that happens is based on My love for the unredeemed. My plan of eternity is not comprehensible to most people and therefore not acceptable, yet they shall acknowledge My word. But they will not be able to deny that an end has been prophesied and repeatedly confirmed by seers, and thus only the point in time is undetermined which, however, will never be determined by people but by Me Myself. And thus I will provide you, who are unbelievers, with the evidence, yet to your horror, because you lull yourselves into a sense of security due to your unbelief and will therefore be very frightened, for it will come as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ….

Amen

(Easter Monday)

B.D. 4617 from April 18th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Sin against the spirit “All sins are forgiven you, except those against the spirit ….”

You detach yourselves from the letter too heavily and thus do not penetrate the spirit of the word, which is why much of what I have left you as My word is incomprehensible to you. For this reason you must again and again make use of Me as a teacher Who can and will introduce you to the truth, thus explain everything to you truthfully.

The working of the spirit in a human being is visibly a characteristic of the eternal deity’s participation in the perfection of every individual creature, just as it is therefore also a visible expression of its emanation of strength. If I now work in a person through My spirit, the connection between Me and this person can no longer be denied, because the spiritual spark which rests in the human being’s heart is inseparably connected to the father-spirit from eternity and now awakens to activity through My approach, thus it ‘works in the human being’. However, the working of My spirit in the human being will always mean help on the path to perfection, it will mean a turning of the thoughts into the spiritual kingdom and an urging of the soul to unite with Me, thus an upward progress in spiritual development …. The spirit will make the soul inclined towards all ideas and help it to overcome the desire for matter, the spirit will give the soul enlightenment about its purpose and its former destiny, the spirit will reveal the essence of all divinity to the soul, it will impart clear and profound knowledge to it, thus it will give it a light which is incomparably blissful when it can first work with all luminosity …. The working of the spirit in the human being is therefore a divine revelation …. I take care of the human being Myself and give him a small concept of My glory, and thus I am present to him as soon as he adjusts himself such that My working can take place in him, irrespective of whether the results of My working are obvious manifestations or signify inner enlightenment by mental means. But the human being has then always entered into a volitional connection with Me and has carried out the will by shaping his heart into love, thus into a dwelling place worthy of receiving the eternal deity, Which can now reveal Itself from within. Such an act of demonstrable spiritual activity testifies to Me Myself, thus it is also to a certain extent a proof which surpasses faith. Anyone who has once gained this conviction, because the evidence of My existence and My presence has been provided, understandably stands on a level of development which should make a descent impossible, because this is almost impossible with the realization of truth …. and yet, as long as he lives on earth as a human being he can himself step into the shadow and darken the light …. he can sin against the spirit …. and thereby transgress in the grossest way by rejecting Me again and thus repeating his former apostasy from Me …. He can consciously prevent the working of the spirit, despite better realization he cannot make use of his knowledge, thus he can favour a spiritual regression, fully aware of committing an injustice. He has gained the evidence and conviction of My presence and yet turned away from Me again. Thus his will has again been captured by the adversary whom he had already escaped, and he does not defend himself against him. Only the person who recognized Me and My working through the spirit, who appropriated the wisdom imparted to him as mental knowledge by also having gained the inner conviction intellectually, thus was able to believe and in this firm faith committed himself to it, can sin against the spirit. He received and also made use of My grace in the richest measure and now lets it become ineffective; therefore he cannot expect mercy either, because he pushes away the deity Who, in Its infinite love, had brought Itself completely close to him and pulled the veil from his eyes. And this sin cannot be forgiven because he then also closes himself to Christ’s act of salvation, because if he rejects My spirit he also rejects the divine redeemer, thus he no longer wants to believe even though he was able to believe. Thus he also forfeited the blessings of the act of salvation by not making use of Christ’s help before he sinned, for the divine redeemer would have dispelled the first such thoughts and put them right if only He had been approached for help. He was in the kingdom of light before and stepped out into the darkness …. He was equipped with the abilities to recognize the truth, and the truth did not please him because it obliged him to redemptive activity which he does not want to carry out because love grew cold in him. This is very rare in people who have experienced My working of the spirit within themselves, therefore it is also unforgivable because it is an open resistance against Me which cannot find forgiveness, which means that he has to stay far away from God for endless times until he turns to Me again and has to acquire the grace again to be looked upon by Me, i.e. that I approach him again. This sin cannot be forgiven out of grace and mercy but it has to be carried away in total guilt, it irrevocably entails a new banishment and thus the whole path through creation, because it is a renewed apostasy which is not inferior to the former apostasy of the spiritual from Me, because it is committed in fullest realization, because a person in whom My spirit can already work is also in the light and therefore commits a grave sin if he betrays Me again against the one who influences him as My adversary, who is recognized by him and to whom he nevertheless is at will …. Thus not forgiving a sin means that the guilt cannot be taken away from him but has to be carried away by himself, which is why he need not be regarded as eternally lost, only eternities will pass before he finally confesses Me ….

Amen

Sins of the fathers take revenge on the children ….

B.D. 4618 from April 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Throughout generations the sin of the fathers will affect the children …. This is how you have been taught and you have often come into conflict with the teaching of a God of love and mercy Who forgives the sinner and remits his punishment if he sincerely repents. You cannot understand that people have to suffer who are not guilty of anything themselves and are therefore the victims of those who sinned against God. And yet, God’s wisdom and love is at work here too, even if in a way you cannot quite understand, the essence of the soul before its embodiment as a human being speaks here, which chose a sinful human being itself for its implantation into the flesh. These souls are particularly impulsive, they are still in an extremely deficient state despite their endlessly long course of development, despite multiple and agonizing deformation, they have not yet given up their impulsiveness and are now instinctively striving towards a related human soul where they hope to have the opportunity to live out their impulsiveness. They are not infrequently filled with the same desire which caused the human being to become sinful, just as they often stimulate it as soon as they have taken up residence in a body (mother’s womb) and then sin naturally has the strongest influence on a newborn child, which is why one now speaks of predisposition and inheritance of bad dispositions. No soul comes into such a body which has already reached a certain degree of maturity because its course of development should not be endangered, as well as it has already previously expressed its will to strive towards God. But such a burdened soul can very well free itself from its predispositions on earth, it can recognize its own faults and impulses through an apparently blameless earthly fate and try to free itself from them, and then it will also be able to receive grace in every way, that is, help from above, in order to carry out its will. But for the most part such souls live out and increase the sin of the fathers, yet always in a certain freedom of will, for coercion is not imposed on them. But they believe themselves to be under compulsion and thus seek to reject all responsibility, they don’t wage the slightest battle with themselves and therefore succumb to every temptation which they could, however, resist but just don’t want to. But the will is inclined towards evil from the start of embodiment, and this will has chosen the form for itself which should become the bearer of the soul, which, however, never excludes that the soul can now let the will become active as a human being and free itself from sin …. that a link of the chain will then be broken and the fathers’ guilt of sin can also be redeemed for the sake of such a child. For the will of an impulsive person is strong in itself, only wrongly directed. But if it is directed in the right direction, then it can also triumph over everything and thus become a saviour of his ancestor and reduce his suffering and hardship in the hereafter.

Amen
