Gift of speech testimony to the work of the spirit ….
B.D. 4716 from August 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
What is given to you at this time speak and don’t be afraid to speak it, for you are only driven by your spirit, which is My manifestation. So let everything come to you, whatever is done against you, for everything is firmly planned from eternity, and anyone who works for Me and on My behalf is under My special guidance and does nothing but comply with My will, for he has already surrendered his will to Me, he has given himself to Me of his own free will, and thus he is now My instrument, thus merely the executor of My will. The gift of being able to speak, if he uses himself for Me, must alone convince him that I have taken care of him, for it is proof enough of the presence of the one Who works in him …. “I am with you always until the end ….” this promise is to be taken literally, for I am truly present in those who love Me and keep My commandments …. who want to be active for Me out of love for Me and for their neighbour who is in need. I am with you and will not leave you forever, and even if you have to suffer because you are still in the midst of the world, because your body is not yet spiritualized and because your soul shall attain a higher degree of maturity, yet don’t doubt that I Myself am with you. For with My will you also walk the earthly path through thorns and undergrowth, yet never without My guidance. And thus nothing can happen to you but what My will allows because My love and wisdom recognized it as good for you. Yet if you speak on My behalf it will be clear to you that you are under My protection, for even if you are harassed by opponents who try to make you unfit for your spiritual work you will be able to refute everything they say and visibly be filled by My spirit, you will speak on My behalf and stand up for Me and My kingdom with innermost conviction. And you will recognize My Working by the fact that a calmness will come over you as soon as it is necessary to fight for Me and My word, and that you will therefore fight successfully with the sword of your mouth …. For I am constantly with you and you do not go any way alone ….
Amen

Narrow, thorny path to height …. world people ….
B.D. 4717 from August 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Countless people could still leave the broad path they are walking on and enter the narrow path which leads to Me, thus to the aim; they could still gather rich treasures, even though the time until the end is only short; they still have helpers at their disposal on earth and also in the spiritual kingdom who would like to provide them with right guides and to whom they could entrust themselves without hesitation. Yet their will alone decides, and as long as this will does not consciously turn to Me, for which faith in Me must first be present, as long as the world is still in the foreground, thus holding all of the human being’s senses captive, they still walk on the broad path which seems more appealing to them and which they therefore don’t want to exchange for the narrow, unappealing path, but which is the only path upwards. And yet they themselves should feel that the world can only offer worldly reward, whereas the spiritual kingdom can only be won spiritually, thus by surrendering the earthly world. Consequently, the path of earthly life will also show privations and hardship which shall let the human being change and mature. In the last time before the end the path to the height will be particularly difficult to pass, thorns and undergrowth will often make it impassable, and the wayfarer will have to look for help from above in order to reach the height without danger. And precisely these hardships and difficulties of life shall give you the proof that you are on the right path, for He who rules the world, Who wants to win you over for Himself, seeks to give you everything beautiful, to fulfil your wishes, so that you shall acknowledge Him and desire His kingdom. Not many take the narrow, difficult path and you can already recognize the time of the end because everything pays homage to the world, people live a worldly life and are only concerned about doing to their body what it desires. But those who walk the narrow path have their gaze directed upwards, they strive towards the spiritual kingdom, they are mentally connected to Me and turn their backs on the world, they don’t look towards the broad, delightful path because they recognize it as misleading but are seriously willing to reach the right aim. Countless people could take an example from those and try out what a way of life that is less pleasing to the body than to the soul will bring them …. And people’s spiritual development as well as their physical condition would truly look better, for earthly hardship and suffering would also cease to exist because people would not need it if they took care of their upward development themselves. Yet people don’t listen to well-meant advice, they don’t turn to My word and My indications of the near end …. And thus time will pass without success for the souls until the day has come when all will be called to account ….
Amen

Bliss of the soul in receiving the divine word ….
B.D. 4718 from August 21st 1949, taken from Book No. 54
No earthly joy equals the bliss which the reception of the divine word means for the soul, although the body, the human being’s intellect, has no share in the blissful sensation. But the reception of the divine word is always connected with the soul’s dwelling in spiritual spheres, where the body cannot follow and therefore also remains untouched by the impressions. But the soul is flooded with strength and light and strengthens itself in the short time of its dwelling in the spiritual kingdom. It is, so to speak, removed from the heaviness of earth but connected to the body to such an extent that it can return to earth again at any time, which is why the state of receiving spiritual announcements is always a conscious one, for the body is waiting for what the soul will announce to it from its impressions in the spiritual kingdom, which are always passed on to the intellect in the form of instructions. But the body will never receive the soul’s entire spiritual wealth, for the soul sees much which it cannot describe in words and therefore also cannot reproduce comprehensibly, but which nevertheless remains to it as a spiritual treasure which it will be able to lift after its entrance into the spiritual kingdom. What it imparts to the intellect is of importance for the duration of earthly life and contributes to ascent development, and therefore it should also be passed on to fellow human beings. The short time of receiving spiritual knowledge through the voice of the spirit is immensely profitable for the soul, and areas open up to it, which it has never known before and which are also inaccessible to the intellect of man. It receives rays of light everywhere, thus knowledge remains with it even if it has left those areas. However, whether it can also take the knowledge to earth, i.e. also impart it to the body, so that the human being as such takes cognizance of what was previously unknown, depends on the will of the person, however far he seeks to penetrate the truth intellectually. After a connection with the spiritual kingdom the soul will always communicate itself to the body, but to what extent the mediation takes place is determined by the human being himself through his will. Thus his soul’s willingness to receive spiritual knowledge can cause happiness, even though the soul’s communication with the body is not of such depth and extent that it also makes the human being intellectually happy, yet the soul communicates in different ways but is always strengthened through a connection with the spiritual kingdom, and its desire for spiritual nourishment will always increase, which is why the human being who accepts the divine word will never cease to gain spiritual contact, for the soul will always hunger more and more for the food that suits it and will no longer be satisfied with what the world can offer it once it has received what makes it infinitely more happy from the spiritual kingdom. At times, therefore, the soul withdraws into itself, i.e., the body knows little of its spiritual successes, yet it will never be left entirely without knowledge, which increases the more the intellect also demands enlightenment ….

Dissolution of the old earth and resurrection in the moment ….
B.D. 4719 from August 21st 1949, taken from Book No. 54
To dissolve the earth into its original components means a transferring back of the spiritual into the former lowest and most imperfect state, should the dissolution proceed in the same backwards sequence …. But a sudden dissolution means a becoming free of the bound spiritual out of form, therefore an unbound state for the spiritual, which however is not yet ripe for a free working. Thus the spiritual would misuse its freedom, it would let off steam and be active in a sense contrary to God, because it has not yet recognized God but is still subject to His adversary, to whom the destructive principle is inherent, who does not favour any construction and no meaningful upward development. Consequently, imperfect spiritual substances that have become free must soon be bound again in a form if the divine order is to be maintained and a chaotic state is to be avoided in the spiritual world as well. A reversion of the spiritual in the form of a downward development of the earth is impossible from God’s point of view because His principle is always only construction and progress, since love determines all His rule and activity. If an unlawful dissolution of matter takes place through human will, God will soon give the released spiritual substance another form in which the upward development will continue. If an act of destruction takes place from God, through His will and His power, then this is not to be regarded as a decline of works of creation but a violent act of liberation again for the purpose of a new shaping of the bound spiritual, whose will of service is evident to God and which He now also takes into account. Even the last work of destruction on this earth, which is staged by human will, is in God’s eternal counsel the cause of a mighty process of transformation for the entire spiritual, which is bound in the creations of the earth. The cause of the work of destruction is human will, but the effect of it is God’s will, which is why the downfall of the old earth is also fixed in God’s eternal plan of salvation, because all spirits, including the devils, are serviceable to Him, even if against their will. For God’s adversary seeks to prevent any upward development, he seeks to tear back again that which has already come closer to God and to make it apostate from God and to plunge it into the depths. But God’s plans and His power prevent what he is striving for …. It now emerges from all this that the new earth with its creations does not need a time of development, since spiritual substances in every stage, in every degree of maturity, are released through the downfall of the old earth and this released spiritual substance can therefore also soon take on the new forms which God assigns to it and which it also has to take on if a battle is not to break out between the spiritual substance, which would throw it far back again because it automatically pushes towards the one Whose will gave it life …. Thus the new emergence of the earth will not take a long time, a retrogression of the earth will not be the cause of the end, as is often wrongly assumed, just as no slow development of the new creation is necessary either. God will let a new earth come into being at the moment with all conceivable creations which testify to His creative will, His wisdom and His greater than great love and give evidence of His power and glory. And therefore people of this earth will be allowed to see the new miracle of creation, as well as they will remain faithful to God at the end of this earth period and will be raptured as a flock of the elect with a living body. They will be brought to the new earth and form the tribe of the new generation and will be allowed to experience miracles upon miracles, for they dwell in paradise in blissful communion with the light-filled spiritual and yet possess the memory of the old earth and the downfall ….

Shield of faith …. Trust …. God's protection ….
B.D. 4720 from August 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I Am giving you a genuine gift, and in realising it you should be joyful. How can the world possibly harm you if I stand before you as a shield and let nothing harm you? Hence, take your stand behind the shield of faith and you will be protected against all attacks by those with ill intentions. I will always stand by you, always ready to protect you whenever you are in danger. And this belief has to be so certain in you that you thereby banish all fear and distress. I Am with you and hold on to you so that you will not get caught in the undergrowth, in the many worldly obstacles to which you fear to succumb. Just look up and call to Me in thought, then you will never walk alone but always in My company, able to live untroubled until the end of your days. Although the world will still badly bother you it should not cause you fear, for I Am stronger than the world, and if the world pesters you though I want you to be at peace, then it will be unable to harm you. Therefore, be joyful and happy and despise the world, that is to say, ignore it and what emerges from it. My kingdom will compensate you for what the earthly world denies to you, and to dwell in My kingdom is truly more desirable, for it will not disappoint you.
I Am also Lord over this earthly world and control your earthly life too, but you should leave this concern entirely to Me and not burden yourselves with it, because the state of your soul is far more important and you alone have to improve it. I can put your earthly life in order for you but you will have to shape your spiritual life in accordance with your will. And in order that nothing shall stop you from improving your soul I will take care of your body and all it requires to maintain and fulfil its earthly task. And because I make this promise to you, you can truly commend yourselves to Me, every experience will be for the benefit of your soul. Therefore I only expect your complete trust in My assistance and you will be helped with every problem you have. For nothing is impossible to Me, and all threads in eternity are controlled by My will, in wisdom and greater than great love …. always for the benefit of My living creations, for whom I want to prepare an eternally blissful fate ….
Amen

Christ head of His church …. members of the true church ….
B.D. 4721 from August 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The head of the church of Christ remains Jesus Christ Himself …. For this church, which comprises the community of believers, i.e. those who place themselves under the cross of Christ and want to participate in the redemption through His blood, which He shed for sinful humanity, is based on faith in His redemptive work. His church cannot be understood in any other way than on this faith in Him and His redemption, and this is also how Jesus’ words are to be understood: “You are Peter, the rock, on you I will build My Church ….”. Peter was the most faithful among His disciples, and he recognized the mission of the man Jesus, he believed in Him as God’s son and redeemer of the world, although in hours of earthly distress he put the world in the foreground, which drove him to his threefold denial. His faith was therefore not weaker, only his flesh failed in the anguish and distress of the events surrounding Jesus. Therefore, whoever wants to belong to His church must acknowledge Jesus Christ, and therefore Jesus Christ will also always have to be confessed as a sign of belonging to His church. And thus His teaching will also have to be proclaimed in it, i.e. the same must be taught as Jesus taught His fellow human beings …. the gospel must be brought to people because the knowledge of it is necessary in order to revive faith in the redemption through Jesus Christ. For only the right faith is the cause for a person to enter into the right relationship with Him, Who acquired eternal bliss for him through His death on the cross ….
(23.8.1949) For this reason, followers of every denomination can claim membership of the true church of Christ if they only believe in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation and have penetrated His gospel and live their lives according to His divine teaching of love. These alone are the signs of the church which Jesus Himself founded on earth, that people remain in His spirit and never ever let Him out of their thoughts and strive to follow Him in deeds, words and thoughts …. Faith in Jesus Christ determines a person’s right conduct of life, for Jesus’ words, His gospel, are sacred to him; he respects them as God’s word and seeks to live them out. And through this he awakens the spirit in himself to life, and the working of the spirit is then the most unmistakable sign of being a member of the true church of Christ. But it is not outward bonds, the fulfilment of outward formulas or a forced membership in the traditional way that makes a person belong to the community of believers. For then the awakening of the spirit is not far off, which demands more than outward membership in name only. Anyone who sees Jesus Christ as the head of the church consciously strives towards Him and for him His word is the gospel …. the only path to the aim …. because the word is Jesus Christ’s flesh and blood, it is bread and wine from heaven; consequently it must also lead to heaven, it must lead to the closest union with the divine redeemer Himself and thus make him blissfully happy. Hence the word is the core of Christ’s church, the word is His teaching of love, and where this is conveyed to people there will always be the true church of Christ. And anyone who receives His word into his heart and lives accordingly is His follower, he is a member of His church, which is only ever to be understood spiritually, thus not bound to earthly organizations. Nevertheless, every earthly ecclesiastical organization can include members of this church as long as they fulfil those conditions, provided they are truly devout followers and confessors of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation ….

Lack of faith …. assurance of God's help ….
B.D. 4722 from August 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Prepare yourselves for the great event which I announce again and again. But know that all suffering will pass, even if you believe to collapse under it. Everything will follow one another quickly, there will be a rush of events, and in a short time that will happen, which I point out to you again and again. But how will you bear this difficult time if you don’t look up to Me with more faith in the hours of adversity? I know what is coming and want to help you gain the strength of faith which overcomes everything that comes upon you. Just lean firmly on Me, know that you will not find the support on earth that you have in Me if only you believe. I am always there for you, I hear every call, every sigh, I know about every tear, about all sorrow which oppresses you, and I only ever want to call out to you: Why do you trust so little in Me, Who constantly promises you My protection and My help? Why don’t you come to Me when you are burdened and threaten to sink under the load? Why is your prayer not so fully trusting that I can help you, that you, so to speak, force My help through the strength of your faith? And if you sincerely want it you can also believe, yet you have to seriously consider My word, you have to move it in your heart, i.e. deeply empathize with its meaning and realize that I am not telling an untruth, that you can therefore fully expect the fulfilment of My promises. Therefore, if I have promised you My help in every adversity of body and soul, think about the fact that I can help you by virtue of My omnipotence, that I want to help you by virtue of My love and that you must not doubt it, for then you will either not recognize My omnipotence or My love, and then you will prevent Me Myself from expressing love and omnipotence, because then you will step out of the right relationship with the child, but which I require in order to be able to reveal Myself in My love and omnipotence. Why are you afraid of the power of the world, why do you let yourselves be oppressed by earthly worries when you have a father in heaven Who can and will take care of everything for you because you are His children? Why don’t you have faith in Him, Who constantly gives you proof of His activity and work, if you only look around you? Why is the worldly so much closer to you than I am, why are you afraid, since I am constantly present to you? And how do you then want to bear the heaviness that the future still brings? But I know about your adversity and want to avert it so that you can serve Me as a support when everything around you threatens to shake …. I need you and want to educate you to become strong, fearless representatives of My teaching. And I will achieve it, that is, your faith will become unshakeable and defy all storms. You will experience My help so obviously that all doubt will disappear and your faith will grow stronger …. and you will serve Me until the end ….
Amen

Immortality of soul …. Wrong doctrine ….
B.D. 4723 from August 25th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You need truthful explanations because misguided teachings darken your spirit and portray My creative will and creative spirit wrongly to you. They show neither My love nor My wisdom and thus prevent you from igniting the flame of love in your hearts which would bring you closer to Me. Wrong doctrines can lead to non-belief, wrong doctrines can destroy all faith if they are not corrected, and therefore I want to enlighten you time and again for your own sakes, since you can, after all, only become blessed through faith and love.
What is the use of any teaching which questions the immortality of the soul? The soul is something spiritual, whereas the body is physical …. The body can certainly die, that is, pass away and disintegrate in its substance, but the soul, the spiritual essence, is immortal. It has to continue, it will merely leave the body as soon as the body has served its task as a cover for the soul on earth. It will leave the physical external form in order to continue its process of development in spiritual spheres, to steadily increase its maturity if it has reached a certain degree of maturity on earth or, if its course of life was unsuccessful, to either remain in the same state of total immaturity or to descend into darkness, depending on its will, but always in spheres which should be understood as being outside the earthly-material world.
Thus, the soul will in fact experience a state of death, but this should not be understood as obliteration, it is merely a state of complete lack of light and strength, a state of helplessness, yet it will always be conscious of its existence. The soul will never lose its awareness of existence, it can merely mean either the epitome of beatitude or inexpressible agony for the soul, which is always consistent with the way of life the person had lived on earth. Hence the soul’s life corresponds to its life in the flesh on this earth. Consequently, the deeds of the flesh determine the soul’s fate and the place of residence after its death, and the day of death is the human being’s Judgment Day, after which it will arise into a life of light or darkness ….
The soul is something spiritual which can never ever cease to exist, it cannot be temporarily extinguished either but it will live eternally, with the exception that an existence in darkness cannot be called life but is spiritual death, yet neither can it be called a state of rest. A rest until Judgment Day is a wrong concept, because inactive souls experience this as personal torment, whereas a soul’s true life is activity which, however, necessitates a certain degree of maturity, which a soul can easily attain on earth if it is of good will. The souls stay in the spiritual kingdom and can nevertheless always be in the vicinity of earth. They are merely outside of the physical world, thus they are no longer tied to a material form but are free spiritual beings if they are enlightened, otherwise they will be in a state of darkness, because complete lack of strength signifies constraint for them. But the soul can never die; it will merely escape its body, which thus will have completed its earthly life ….

The catastrophe and its consequences …. Neighbourly love ….
B.D. 4724 from August 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You will all return to a very primitive state of living, for only this will make it possible to motivate you into helpful neighbourly love, which alone can redeem you. Then all people will have the opportunity to be lovingly active although it depends on free will to what extent the opportunity will be utilised. And thus humanity will very quickly want to improve their living conditions again and this, depending on every individual person’s will, by just or unjust means, for only few will want to be of service while the majority will want to be served and at the expense of their fellow human beings attain prosperity again, if only for a short period of time, for the end will follow soon …. However, whatever precedes the end has been determined for eternity …. A partial destruction on an inconceivable scale will affect large stretches of land and claim countless human lives. These people, therefore, will have met their end, yet their death will still result in their souls’ entry into the kingdom of the beyond. The last hour for this world has not yet arrived when the gates into the spiritual kingdom will also be closed. The survivors, however, will still be granted a last reprieve, an extremely difficult earthly life which can nevertheless be called a time of grace as it still enables many people of good will to gain higher maturity. The huge event should make all people thoughtful and let them seek unity with God, but only a few will derive benefit for their soul by commending themselves to their Creator and Father of eternity and appeal to Him for mercy and help.
And they will indeed be helped. For there will be great and widespread hardship so that outside help cannot be expected. People can only help each other, and in their neighbourly love they will be strongly supported from above, they will be able to accomplish works which are in fact beyond their strength. Yet the will to help will gain them an extraordinary flow of strength, the will to help will also have beneficial consequences on them, so that the helpful person will receive spiritually and physically what he would like to pass on and thus his own adversity will be remedied too. The strength of faith and of love will clearly become evident and every human being can ease his fate by considering his neighbour and not just his own hardship. This great adversity comes upon you in order to revive love, for only love can redeem you and it grows constantly colder the closer it gets to the end. And anyone who is still able and willing to love will not be depressed by the hardship but will overcome it himself by virtue of his love for his neighbour. Even so, there will be much suffering everywhere. People will be torn apart, they will no longer hear from each other and everyone will then have the opportunity of using all his strength to alleviate the difficult situation in his surrounding area. And the human being can achieve much if only he calls upon God for support and desires help for other people. But anyone who takes advantage of his fellow human being and tries to benefit from his adversity will in the end belong to those who will be devoured by the earth on the last day …. he will belong to those who will be condemned, because they had become true devils and will have to share the fate of the one who will be chained up and banished into the new earth for an infinitely long period of time again ….

Earth destiny …. surrender to God's will ….
B.D. 4725 from August 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You must endure what is destined for you, for earthly fate is shaped according to your will and the human being’s task, which, if it is particularly important, requires a higher degree of maturity in order to be able to be carried out in accordance with My will. Suffering and adversity purifies the soul, suffering and adversity brings it closer to Me, and My presence is all the more certain the greater the adversity. For adversity is a sign of concern for My children who, in order to belong to Me completely, have to be educated, whose souls therefore have to purify themselves in order to be able to accept Me, in order to be able to endure My presence. And thus recognize your father’s kindness in every adversity, for whom I love I especially take care of. I certainly love all My living creations, yet where I find reciprocated love I also want to increase the love I bestow, but this also requires a purified heart. Yet I also want to give you proof of My love if you need it to strengthen your soul in spiritual adversity. I want to let you have a glimpse into your farther life, and what you see in a dream accept it as a bright face, yet don’t forget your task which is unspeakably important and should always be placed before everything …. Know that everything My spirit proclaims to you is truth and that everything will come to pass as I have foretold it to you …. Know that you will experience it and that nothing earthly will then bind you anymore, yet in closest union you will then serve Me in earnest striving towards the same aim and in recognizing the truth …. There is a love which is stronger than death, and whoever carries this love in his heart also conquers death …. Remember this when you want to give up because of My apparent hardship, which has imposed a fate on you that seems too heavy for you …. Nevertheless, I remain affectionately attached to you and intervene as soon as the time comes when I need you to work together for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

'My sheep know My voice ….' Resistance ….
B.D. 4726 from August 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The way you consider My Word is the way I consider you. For it is the Father’s voice speaking to you which you have to know if you love Me, that is, if you keep My commandments. Anyone to whom My Word is made accessible will accept it if he loves Me, or he does not love Me if he rejects Me, that is, he does not fulfil My commandments, he does not live in love for God and his neighbour, otherwise he would recognise My Words as the Father’s voice. Thus it will also be understandable to you that I bless those who accept Me in the Word yet withdraw My blessing from those who reject Me, for they will not be able to say that they acknowledge Me although they reject My Word …. My sheep know My voice …. and anyone who recognises it will also vouch for it, he will speak on behalf of My Word and not be afraid to pass it on. For what child would not give credence to the Words of the Father …. I came to My Own and they did not recognise Me …. And today I come to My children again, yet they pay less attention to My voice than ever because they do not have the right relationship of children to their Father, because they grant the world more rights and don’t have much time for Me anymore. And yet they call themselves religious.
However, I don’t acknowledge their faith because I don’t notice any love in their hearts otherwise they would desire Me or My Word or attentively listen to the gentle sound of My voice wherever it can be perceived …. But I don’t acknowledge anyone as My true child who suppresses My voice for the sake of the world, for although the Fatherly love embraces all His children it also wants to be reciprocated by them. Love Me and keep My commandments, then you will also feel that My Word is Fatherly, then no resistance will arise in you and you will joyfully profess Him to your fellow human beings and ensure the spreading of the Word …. However, if you lack love it will not affect you and you will reject it as a nuisance, which is evident within your heart and also in your conduct, and then you will also reject My love which comes to meet you in the Word and through the Word gives you the evidence that the Father speaks to His children and wants to be listened to by them …. Seriously examine yourselves as to whether you are children of the world or children of your Heavenly Father, and remember My Words: My sheep know My voice …. and don’t be faithless, but believing ….

Spiritual gifts God's pledge of love …. presence of God ….
B.D. 4727 from August 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The spiritual gifts are a pledge of My love, for I will never hand out spiritual gifts to anyone who does not win My affection. I seek to prove My love to you because you are still weak in faith and I want to give you a sure sign of love for My children, who shall also love Me again with all their heart. And therefore I give you My word …. When I speak to you I let My love flow over you, and this means enlightenment of your spirit, thus receptivity for spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth. To possess spiritual knowledge is a privilege, a gift from the one Who loves you and wants to make you blissfully happy. And you could certainly all acquire this gift, thus I would not withhold it from any of My living creations, yet it requires a loving heart turned towards Me, thus a reciprocal love which, however, I do not find everywhere. But anyone who has My word may know that he is loved by Me and thus he can completely hand himself over to Me in the awareness of My most faithful fatherly love and care. My word is the surest sign of My love …. which shall make your life easier and make you resilient in the earthly battle …. Anyone who has My love also possesses Me Myself and I am also present to anyone who possesses Me, and My presence also guarantees you My protection and My help in every adversity. Don’t let fear and doubt arise but firmly trust in Me and every worry will be removed …. And thus free yourselves from all heavy thoughts and anxious fear, for one is always with you Who loves you and therefore protects you in every danger of body and soul, one is there in Whom you can entrust yourselves without limit and Who will never leave you without help ….
Amen

The Antichrist's scourge ….
B.D. 4728 from August 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The Antichrist’s scourge will be wielded harshly over all who profess Me, just as it was wielded over Me before My crucifixion as a human being. Yet I will repel it from My Own, I will seize it Myself and instead let it affect those who are enslaved by Satan. His raging will certainly be sorely felt in the ranks of My Own, yet as long as they are covered by the shield of faith he will be unable to cause them much harm, for once again I will safeguard them against anything that is done to My Own. However, they recognise the reign of the Antichrist and that the end and with it their hour of deliverance will soon have come, and this knowledge gives them the strength which lets them endure anything. You will not have a peaceful time for much longer, hour after hour and day after day trickle away and the time My spirit has announced to you comes ever closer …. Earth is facing a powerful tremor with indescribable consequences. And even if you doubt …. you cannot stop it anymore and soon will have to make a decision for or against Me …. This decision will be demanded by the one who opposes Me and who will continue to oppose Me for an endless time to come.
He will arrive prior to Me and appear on this earth, and he will take possession of someone who wholeheartedly belongs to him, i.e., he will express himself in all his power and strength through the latter. People will join him in droves, they will admire him and voluntarily submit themselves to him …. they will be dependent on him because he exerts his influence on them as a human being and impresses them with his words and actions. He will be successful because they will all surrender to him of their own accord, and thus he will wield great power and use it against Me …. against all of those who believe in Me and profess Me …. He will fight against Me and thus also wage the battle against My Own, who will nevertheless remain loyal to Me until the end …. The time of the Antichrist has come and accordingly he will soon make an appearance, and then you will know that the end is near …. For he will only reign for a short time, and because he knows that he won’t have much time left anymore he will open hell and release all that is evil which will cooperate with him in a shocking manner …. Yet the hour of his fall into the abyss has been determined since the start, and so it will come to pass as is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….
Amen

God – truth – love are one …. truth ….
B.D. 4729 from August 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
And even if you refuse to accept the truth, it must fill your whole being if you want to attain the vision of God in the spiritual kingdom. For truth is the companion of love, and since you cannot become blessed without love you cannot be without truth either. But truth can be offered to you even if you have not yet changed to love. The truth can cause you to Work in love as soon as you don’t intellectually close yourselves off to the truth and then stimulate your heart to participate in it. Then truth will inevitably result in love, because one cannot exist without the other. Without love truth is only intellectual knowledge, but through love the heart also participates in truth, and then truth permeates the human being’s whole being. The unloving person usually also rejects the truth because it does not appeal to him, yet again and again it is brought to him as long as the person is still capable of change, thus not a perfect devil …. As soon as the fate of life has had an effect on his heart, as soon as it has become softer and more compliant and also willing to love his fellow human beings, he will no longer close himself off to the truth imparted to him, he will become able to recognize and do what is right, thus his soul will mature, which always means increasing love and increasing realization. But anyone who desires the truth through love can be firmly convinced that God will convey it to him, because He approaches a loving person Himself and thus only truth can exist next to Him. The human being’s soul then certainly rejects what does not originate from the originator of truth, Who is present to it through love; whereas it eagerly accepts what corresponds to truth because it also recognizes God Himself in it. God, love and truth are one …. Love for God and one’s neighbour infallibly also results in the supply of truth, and the ability to recognize comes to the human being at the same time as truth. But this is why the loving human being is certain to stand in truth, he is full of conviction and can therefore also stand up for it, and he will unconsciously or consciously spread light because he receives light himself and can also radiate it again to his fellow human beings. For light cannot conceal its radiance, and the knowing human being feels inwardly urged to pass on his knowledge, for he is driven by love to give to his fellow human beings what makes him happy himself, because he knows that only truth leads to God, from Whom it originates ….

"He who is not for Me is against Me …."
B.D. 4730 from August 31th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
This is what you should learn to recognize: who is for Me and who is against Me …. You will not always be able to rely on words, for people are often not even aware of whom they serve, Me or the world …. They confess Me with their mouth and yet are connected to the heart of the world. Consequently, they serve two masters and one will always have the upper hand, and you should judge this and take appropriate action against it. For then it is the human being’s will which is decisive as to how he decides when he is seriously reminded that he can certainly deceive himself but never Me. To be for Me means to stand up for Me completely, to confess Me in life without shyness and without reserve. But anyone who cannot do this is not for Me but against Me, for he is prevented and allows himself to be prevented from freely confessing by My adversary, and he offers him no resistance. Thus he does not believe in Me, he is, as it were, wearing two armpits, he stands in the traditional faith which cannot stand any test and does not withstand a serious examination. But it is a serious test when he is called upon to confess before the world, before his fellow human beings …. Then he fails, then My presence is improbable to him, the spiritual kingdom is unreal to him, he believes what he sees and also stands up for it. Hence he belongs to the world; but the world is not My kingdom, consequently he cannot be My representative on earth either, because My word does not mean to him what it is …. the emanation of Myself. And thus, if he is not entirely for Me, he either acts against My will or he is guilty of an omission, and in both cases he is against Me …. He does what the world demands, he denies Me, if not with his mouth, then nevertheless in his heart and distances himself from Me instead of approaching Me. And that is why it is said: He who is not for Me is against Me …. For I am not content with a person not only not rejecting Me but I demand that he confesses Me openly and unashamedly, otherwise I will regard him as My adversary, which he also is in his heart, even if he speaks My name ….
Amen

Experiments towards the end of the earth …. Activating forces ….
B.D. 4731 from September 1st 1949, taken from Book No. 54
There is a set limit to how far people can go in their conduct towards what My creative spirit has brought forth. Thus, as soon as they presumptuously want to change natural creations, every one of which was given its purpose by Me, then people’s attitude towards Me becomes irrational, they underestimate My wisdom and My might, believing themselves able to dismiss both and thereby sin against Me Myself as well as against what I have created. And then the limit I have set will be transgressed, and thus humanity will destroy itself, because their scholars will draw the wrong conclusions and the consequences of their experiments will be disastrous. People believe that they have the right to explore everything I kept hidden from them in recognition of their immaturity for such knowledge …. The earth in its core is and will remain inexplorable for people until the end. Furthermore, forces of gigantic power are kept bound by Me in the earth’s core so as not to endanger the earth’s continued existence, only that eruptions ensue from time to time to allow these powers a brief outburst in order to give spiritual substances capable of development the opportunity to take shape above the earth and thus start their path of ascent. These forces unleash themselves with My approval, and therefore their effects are intended in My eternal plan of Salvation.
The extent of an eruption will always be limited when it happens in accordance with My will, but human determination will never be able to stop it, human will can never be the cause of it since no-one is able to explore cause and effect. Yet in the last days people will presumptuously penetrate the earth deeply for reasons of research in order to release unfamiliar energies with the intention of utilizing them profitably, and won’t consider the fact that they lack the knowledge and intellectual capacity for such experiments.
Hence they will have no respect for My works of creation, they will penetrate an area which is quite naturally closed to them and wanting to investigate it can be called an impertinence, from a purely earthly point of view. But from a spiritual point of view it will mean entering the territory of the lowest spirits whose banishment I recognised as necessary and which will then therefore be unlawfully invalidated by people, that is why revoking My eternal order will have unimaginable consequences.
Their manipulations will aim to utilise earth forces against which every resistance gives way, and which therefore can be used for all experiments. But people won’t consider that these forces are capable of disintegrating everything within their reach …. they won’t take account of their power against which human will and intellect are futile. They will open locks which can never be closed again once they have been breached, for the area people want to enter is unfamiliar to them and they don’t know its laws …. The earth’s core cannot be researched in this way and every such attempt will backfire, not just on the researchers but on the whole human race …. For the limits I have set may not be exceeded according to My eternal order, which always favours progress but never destruction, and thus its infringement also has to have the opposite effect!
Satan himself will put these thoughts into the people of the last days, he will urge them to undertake this plan, for he knows that the destruction of creation will end the spirits’ progress, which is his endeavour in his blind hatred against Me and all spirits striving towards Me. Yet even this plan, albeit evil, will be an inadvertent service …. he will fall in with My eternal plan of Salvation …. A new earth will arise where the development will continue, whereas everything satanic will once again be banished into its creations ….

Unit of the soul with the spirit ….
B.D. 4732 from September 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Take care that your soul matures so that the spirit within you can unite with it, that is, so that it can make itself understood and influence it according to My will. And your soul will then mature if you make an effort to live in love, thus to do everything that is good, if you fight against your faults and weaknesses, if you strive to become perfect. The will alone is enough for the spirit to become active in you insofar as it informs the soul what it should do …. so that the soul thus sensitively strives for what is My will. The higher the soul’s degree of maturity, the more comprehensible the spirit’s expressions will be to it. The human being’s thinking, feeling and wanting will be turned towards the spiritual, i.e. the human being will be more concerned with his inner life, with the higher development of his soul’s state than with earthly thoughts. And all this is the working of the spirit in the human being which exerts its influence on the soul which has now united with it and allows itself to be drawn upwards. For the spirit in the human being is My share and consequently can only lead to Me, it seeks unification with the father-spirit which, however, only takes place when the soul is ready for it, when the human being, through a life of love, breaks through the barriers which previously separated him from Me. The soul, the thinking, feeling and willing in the human being must take the direction towards Me without compulsion, then it awakens the spirit spark in itself to life. And now start its activity and never without success …. Once you humans have achieved this, the spirit in you will no longer rest, it will again and again try to persuade the soul to listen to it …. i.e. the human being will no longer walk thoughtlessly but will seriously consider his fate after death, he will reflect on his purpose of earthly life, he will desire to know the truth and look for opportunities where it is offered to him …. His senses will be spiritually directed …. And this is what you should strive for first, that you grant the spiritual spark within you power over you, which again can only happen through serious will for perfection. As your will is, so is its working …. If the will is turned towards Me then it will certainly lead you towards Me, and you will feel it in the direction of your thoughts which increasingly concern themselves with the spiritual, because this benefits the soul, thus it willingly listens to the spirit. If you all try to reach this state, that the spirit can express itself in you, then you will have made great progress in your development. For as soon as the soul hands itself over to the influence of the spiritual substance every guarantee for its ascent development is given, then that which is My share will draw you to Me, then you will unite with Me and you will have fulfilled your task of earthly life once the union with Me has taken place ….
Amen

Tolerance ….
B.D. 4733 from September 7th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Tolerance on a spiritual level is inappropriate when it involves defending the truth, highlighting misguided teachings and combating lies. Then a straight path has to be followed, no concessions can be made against one’s own conviction as soon as a human beings works on My behalf and thus is also instructed in the truth. Truth, however, is and will always remain the same, and if I educate a person Myself, then he will also be able to intellectually justify what he represents as truth to his fellow human beings. If then the other person’s opinion does not agree with this explanation, then the advocate of My truth should not be tolerant and give in or accept the other person’s opinion against his innermost conviction. Such tolerance would be the same as a denial of what the bearer of truth has received from Me. For he recognises the error and will not contradict it.
As soon as people’s opinions differ they don’t all have the truth, and only that person’s opinion is correct, who has received the truth from Me Myself, who thus, after heartfelt prayer, is firmly convinced of his mental concept because he was taught by My spirit. This, understandably, presupposes that the person believes in Me, keeps My commandments and desires to know the truth. This person can consider himself to have been educated by Me and also be able to convincingly uphold his ideas to his fellow human beings. Anyone who is clearly recognisable as a bearer of truth, who receives his knowledge through the unusual process of the inner Word, can justifiably reject every other doctrine and denounce it, for it is his duty to uphold the truth he has received from Me directly. Tolerance towards someone who thinks otherwise makes him unworthy of the immense gift of grace he receives from Me, for he does not value it if he does not support it.
Hence, a bearer of truth should never be accused that he is intolerant towards supporters of misguided teachings, for only truth will result in people’s spiritual progress. Only truth will lead to Me, to eternal life in bliss, and only truth results in knowledge and thus means light for the being that is embodied as a human being on earth. Therefore it would be wrong to let a fellow human being live with misconceptions due to consideration in order to be regarded as tolerant. It would be an admission of personal uncertainty and doubt of the truth the person is expected to uphold. Furthermore, it would be half-hearted work for Me and My kingdom, which would entitle other people to doubt the mission as well as the source of the spiritual knowledge, which is not being as eagerly endorsed as a divine gift of grace should be endorsed. For this reason I choose strong-willed people as bearers of truth for Myself, who are also able to represent My Word intellectually and who neither fear the world nor My false servants. And I choose courageous fighters who will fight on My behalf with the sword of the tongue wherever the truth is being distorted ….
Amen

Earthly activity necessary for servants of God …. profession ….
B.D. 4734 from September 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
My servants on earth are called to cooperate in the redemption of erring souls. This work requires the use of all their strength, which I will constantly increase in order to also make their earthly activity possible for them, which should go hand in hand with the work for Me but never be given priority. For again and again I give My servants the assurance that I, as their lord, will provide for all needs of life and thus also for their daily sustenance. But the fact that I provide them with an earthly activity is by no means insignificant. The will to serve Me must never be the cause of inactivity, otherwise its value is reduced. The will to serve Me must also be an act of struggle to a certain extent, resistances must be overcome so that the will first proves itself, so that it asserts itself and thus its seriousness is evident. Spiritual work must not be regarded as a pleasant game, as an activity which should fill an idle person’s daily routine, which is why I do not approve of it when a pastoral activity becomes a person’s profession, so to speak, because then the spiritual work is stamped as an earthly one and in the end it is only a profession, i.e. an activity connected with earthly income. Earthly activity, however, should consist of serving the neighbour, and only through this serving activity can the human being be enabled to also work spiritually, because serving with love is the basic condition for being accepted by Me as a servant. And therefore every earthly activity which is basically serving neighbourly love will also be blessed by Me, especially when the focus is on service and not on material success. Then the ability for spiritual work will also be developed, the human being will become suitable for the work in My vineyard, he will be able to accomplish both by using all his will which, however, has to give preference to spiritual work. This will always be possible, even if the earthly activity seems to take up all the human being’s strength and time. Anyone who puts earthly activity before spiritual activity is not suitable for work for the kingdom of God in the redeeming sense, but likewise only spiritual work is not beneficial for the human being’s soul. For the human being easily runs the risk of representing the doctrine of love purely theoretically and practizing too little love himself, the inevitable consequence of which is a slowly increasing inability for his mission, because love alone is the key to wisdom and the human being will only be truly wise if he is lovingly active, which, in turn, he is often given enough opportunity to do. And therefore My servants will always be engaged in earthly activity so that they will have to prove themselves, and the stronger their will is the more beneficial the spiritual work will also be, and the work for My kingdom will be done according to My will ….
Amen

Signs of the end time ….
B.D. 4735 from September 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Pay attention to the signs of the times. Look around you with the eyes of the spirit and you will recognize the hour in which you live, you will recognize that night is approaching and that only a few minutes of light are still given to you until night falls. Everything points to the imminent decline, love is growing cold among people and only a few serve their neighbour selflessly. Notice how rarely truth is still to be found amongst people, how blindly they walk along without knowledge of the fate they will meet if they don’t change. Recognize from all these signs that the life clock of many people has run out, recognize that the end is near. I cannot give you any other time determination for the end, you must observe the activity and goings-on around you yourselves so that you know when the day will end. I draw your attention to it because I don’t want you to be surprised and fall prey to the last days, for you must be told that you must not let yourselves be deceived by the apparent improvement in the conduct of life of individuals; you must be told that, from a worldly point of view, there is no reason for a change but that one has suddenly been created and now the hour of My intervention has also come, which I have constantly announced. Pay attention to everything that happens around you and the sooner you will recognize in which time you live. Just don’t lose faith in Me and My love, for everything I do and allow has your spiritual development as its aim, even though it seems cruel to you and you are unable to recognize Me in it. My own can feel safe in My protection, they can trustingly expect My help in every earthly and spiritual adversity; My own need not fear anything, no matter what may come, if only they raise their eyes to Me, thus constantly remain united with Me in thought and deed. And thus you know that there is not much time left until the earth experiences a great upheaval, so prepare yourselves for it; don’t pay attention to the world but pay the greatest attention to your soul’s life, give your soul the opportunity to mature by looking around you and, where you see adversity, intervene helpfully, also enlighten your fellow human beings about the seriousness of the time and preach love to them, because only love gives them strength to endure the life which still lies ahead of them. And show them by example the effect of a life of love, be strong in faith and active in love yourselves, and your strength will increase and you will overcome everything you are burdened with. You will also survive the most difficult time because I will help you …. And you will persevere until the end ….

God speaks to man through the heart ….
B.D. 4736 from September 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Whatever your heart tells you to do, that you should do, for I speak to you through the heart, providing you want to hear My voice. Thus you can let your heart speak or your intellect, i.e. you can pay attention to your feelings or also let reason prevail, thus strive for some advantage through your actions, whereas the heart does not achieve this advantage. But if you want Me to advise you by first asking Me for instruction, then you need only pay attention to your feelings and what you do now will truly be right. Then your heart is merely the mediator of My will and you can follow its voice. Thus you will also be instructed according to your feelings, i.e. you will instinctively reject what is wrong and accept what corresponds to the truth. And this also explains why people who are intimately connected to Me instinctively reject misguided teachings when they are presented to them. This is a sign that their soul resists something that is unwelcome to it, that in its desire for what is right and true it is warned by the spirit within itself to accept something untrue, that it therefore unconsciously adopts a hostile attitude and does not hide its attitude but openly confesses it. Then I Myself will cause this person to express his rejection because I want misguided teachings to be branded as pernicious for the soul. But if a person’s inner voice is silent and he does not recognize the wrongness of an action or teaching, then he does not ask for My advice but is convinced of himself or his ability to judge …. He does not ask and therefore cannot receive an answer …. I cannot speak to him through the heart because he is not mindful of his sensations. But the will to reject would nevertheless awaken in him if he were only serious about the pure truth which, however, he could only ever find about Me and through Me. Anyone who falls prey to misguided teachings must look for the blame within himself, for as soon as he demands the truth it will be offered to him. For I always speak through the heart to those who want to be instructed by Me, because I will not leave a person in error who desires the truth ….

God’s word proof of His presence ….
B.D. 4737 from September 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
My word proves to you that I am present to you, for you would never hear My voice in your heart if I Myself were not present in your heart. And this certainty should make you so happy that you should forget all earthly sorrow and always be cheerful and happy. For My presence is a sign of My love, and to possess My love should truly not cause any sorrow or displeasure in you. What are earthly possessions and earthly happiness compared to My love? My love can give you everything, both earthly happiness as well as heavenly bliss, My love can also make earthly life easy and beautiful for you, and thus, if you have the evidence of My love through the supply of My word, there should be nothing left which can cause you worry and sorrow, for you only ever need to look into your heart, you need only ever imagine Me as present to you, and you will be able to speak to Me in confidence and, in humble childlike love, present your needs to Me, and you will never ever ask Me for help in vain, you will never ever go empty-handed, because I always consider those who are My children who listen to Me when I speak to them.
Therefore always remember My presence if you are in need, know that you can speak to Me in the most intimate way and that I will hear you the sooner the more childlike and confident you come to Me, for then you will testify to Me your love and your faith, and then I will be able to grant your every request, for I do not let My children ask in vain, I give them everything if only they believe ….

"Learn to believe …." assurance from God's protection ….
B.D. 4738 from September 13th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I have given you My word according to which you will cover your path of life under My protection, and this word shall be enough for you, even though you often cannot understand why you have to take this path. Just learn to believe …. Then nothing will seem unusual to you anymore, then you will always have the calm certainty that I am always ready to help you when you need Me. Learn to believe …. And a deep peace will enter your heart, which only undoubted faith can bring you. Again and again try to imagine My presence, and then you will also feel My love for you and hold a fully trusting dialogue with Me …. the profound awareness of My presence strengthens your faith, and every word that has come to you from Me will come alive in you …. Then you will live a spiritual life and draw ever closer to Me, and then My strength will overflow into you and all doubt in you will dwindle and give way to unshakable faith which will give you inner peace and security. Again and again I give you the assurance of My help, and thus you should let go of all anxiety and discouragement, for you are not alone but have Me with you as your constant companion and guide. And where I am there must be no fear and anxiety, otherwise you will neither acknowledge My love nor My omnipotence …. Learn to believe and your path of earthly life will be easily passable and still lead you to the aim …. Therefore, always keep My word in mind, which constantly gives you promises which will certainly be fulfilled, because My word is and remains truth for all eternity ….

Every path is marked out for servants of God ….
B.D. 4739 from September 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The paths you have to take are marked out for you from eternity, since I have called you to work for Me and My kingdom. As soon as you have entered My will your thoughts, intentions and actions also correspond to My will, and thus every path you take is determined by Me as to how it fits into the work for My kingdom, i.e. this work of yours is decisive for the course of your earthly life. You will always be given the opportunity to carry out your mission, and I will always guide you to where you are needed, where you can be successfully active for My kingdom, if the human being’s will does not reject you and he loses the blessings you want to bring into his house. What you experience is nothing by chance and nothing arbitrary; as everything comes about it is My will, and therefore you will never take a wrong path through your own fault, but wherever it leads there your activity is also necessary, even if the success is minimal. I Myself supervise your paths if you want to work as My servants on My behalf. I assign you the work which I deem necessary and which you are capable of doing. Therefore you can start and end each day without worry …. you cannot do anything other than what My will has predetermined for you, because you have given yourselves to My will, because you have offered your services to Me of your own free will and I can now direct this will which has submitted itself to Me. I do not take your free will away from you, yet if you subject it to Me yourselves, you will now do of your own accord, thus out of your will, what I have intended since eternity …. And this certainty must relieve you of every earthly worry, for if I direct your destiny you can also feel in My care and be assured of the father’s most faithful care, but just as you must not regard everything you do as arbitrary but as having been placed into your heart by Me and thus always in accordance with your mission for which I have hired you because you have entrusted yourselves to Me. Thus every day will proceed as I want it to, and you will, as it were, always act of your own free will as My wisdom has recognized to be beneficial from eternity. Then it is also My will, and My spirit impels you to carry out My will. The paths I lead you are often strange, yet let yourselves be driven without worry. I constantly walk beside you and would never let you take a path which leads astray. Yet you must bear one thing in mind, that you always carry out what your heart impels you to do …. that you don’t act against the feeling of your heart, for I announce My will to you through the heart. Therefore pay attention to what you want to do and it will be right and bring you success, and the work for Me and My kingdom will be blessed ….
Amen

Responsibility for accepting misguided teachings ….
B.D. 4740 from September 16th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
It is very difficult for people to disassociate themselves from knowledge they were taught from an early age on and which they therefore do not want to renounce as misguided. They accepted this knowledge without thinking about it and since their education is not their fault they cannot, at first, be held responsible for accepting wrong doctrines. Nevertheless, as soon as they are able to use their intellect themselves it is their duty to scrutinise whether this spiritual knowledge is true. And they will have to be answerable as to whether they used their intellect as soon as they were able to do so. They should not accept all spiritual values as truth without scrutiny, neither can they justify themselves on the basis that they received this knowledge and are therefore innocent if they endorse it during their earthly life. They forget that they are responsible for their souls. They forget that I do not punish them but that they punish themselves, that is, that they remain in their state of imperfection, which can never result in their bliss …. but that I cannot release them from this state because their redemption requires their active free will which they, however, did not use correctly or they would have used their intellect to examine these spiritual doctrines. They remained passive. To a certain extent they allowed themselves to be imposed by something which they could just as well have rejected if they had wanted to.
The fact that people are answerable for their souls means that they have to recognise their guilt, that they have to realise that their wretched position was their own fault and justly identify and admit their own neglect, thus they cannot unburden themselves at the expense of those who instructed them wrongly. Indeed, these teachers, too, will one day have to be accountable according to their guilt, yet someone who accepts misguided teachings is not exonerated from guilt, since I have given the human being intellect which he should use for the salvation of his soul first. Anyone who seriously wants the truth will make an effort and find it too. And every instruction offered to the person has to be reviewed if it claims to be true. Thus the human being is duty bound to compare the spiritual knowledge imparted to him with those teachings, and the right will shall also yield the right results. Yet the state of his soul after his death depends on the person’s attitude towards the truth conveyed to him by My will …. full of light or darkness …. For only truth gives light to the soul, whereas error keeps the soul in darkness in which it had languished at the beginning of its earthly course of life as a human being but which it could have escaped had it used its will correctly ….

Desire for truth condition ….
B.D. 4741 from September 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I will not withhold the truth from you, yet it will also be understandable to you that I want the truth to be desired, because only this demonstrates the will to enter into contact with Me and to progress from the state of ignorance into the state of realization with My help. To possess the truth will always signify light for the human being …. but the light will not be carried to the person who feels comfortable in darkness, since he therefore finds its glow annoying because he is comfortable with darkness. To offer the truth to a person who has no desire for it would be to radiate light into darkness, which would have to be called futile because the light is not needed and therefore not appreciated. And thus truth can be conveyed to a person in noblest form, he will not feel anything of its benefit because the spiritual darkness will not make him uncomfortable and the truth will remain completely unimpressive to him. This is why I request that you humans approach Me for the truth, that you, in the feeling of a deficient state, in the awareness of your ignorance, turn to the one Who can and will give you knowledge because He loves you as His creations which are blind in spirit and therefore wants to make you see again. But the light will never be given to you humans against your will …. You must want the giver of truth to instruct you in everything you need to know, then you will truly be enlightened, you will be allowed to receive unmeasured light, for the deeper the desire in you becomes the more you will be provided with knowledge which corresponds to the truth. But conversely, even the deepest knowledge can remain ineffective on you and not increase your state of light by one degree if it is indifferent to you to what degree you are knowledgeable. Then your spiritual state will also correspond to your desire, for I, as the eternal truth, want to be desired, and anyone who seeks Me will also find the truth. But anyone who does not desire the truth is not desirous of Me either, and thus the truth will remain withheld from him until he realizes that life can only be found in the truth and through the truth, until he recognizes that I and the truth are one and that no-one can become blissfully happy without the truth ….

Reminder to work diligently for the kingdom of God ….
B.D. 4742 from September 18th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You should tirelessly work for Me and My kingdom …. then you will fulfil your earthly task in accordance with My will, and then you will also master your earthly life, you will not need to be afraid that you cannot meet your worldly responsibilities, for earthly life will merely be secondary when spiritual life becomes more important.
Work diligently for Me and My kingdom, that is, try to inform your fellow human beings about My activity with you, try to instruct them of the truth, and draw their attention to the end and the signs of the time …. Take an interest in your fellow human being’s state of soul and explain to them how vain and insubstantial worldly goods are, how people merely strive for worthless commodities and give scarcely anything to their souls because they don’t know about their earthly task. Tell everyone whom I send your way. You have been instructed of the truth by Me and thus are capable to work as representatives of the truth amongst your fellow human beings. I have given you a rewarding task which will have beneficial results for you as well as for your fellow human beings, for the achievements won’t just apply to earthly life but to eternity …. Fulfil this task with enthusiasm and do everything that furthers the distribution of the truth you have received from Me. Don’t become indifferent in your work for Me and My kingdom but know that parched and starving souls everywhere are awaiting nourishment, which you should give to them with My gift from above.
And by remembering them you will be practising neighbourly love, for their souls require the sustenance from heaven, they need food and drink to strengthen themselves for their path of ascent. Work tirelessly, for time is short and requires diligent work in My vineyard, the souls suffer hardship, they are starved because too much attention is paid to the body’s requirements and thus the soul’s requirements are forgotten. Therefore help these souls, draw people’s attention to the state of their souls, to a sudden end and their fate after death. Use every opportunity for spiritual conversations and thus motivate people to think about it. And then you will be doing the work for which I have employed you as labourers, and I will bless you, now and in eternity ….
Amen

Intercession for spiritual welfare ….
B.D. 4743 from September 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I want to help all of you to beatitude but only if your will is likewise willing, otherwise I will not gain free spiritual beings but only directed beings which I could not call My children. And thus your will must strive for perfection …. And therefore you humans can certainly pray for each other, yet the individual person must be willing to take the path to perfection himself. Strength can only be given to him through intercession which, however, can also be rejected by him if he resists the supply of strength, i.e. if he does not pay attention to the inner impulse towards good or the voice of conscience because he does not want to, thus he resists, so to speak, the influence of the spiritual world of light which takes care of him through a person’s intercession. Through intercession the human being has a certain advantage in that his thoughts are directed towards his aim in life, towards spiritual development. He is mentally influenced by beings of light. But it is up to his own will how he will act, for this is free and not subject to compulsion, which is why a loving person’s intercession for his fellow human being’s spiritual well-being can help him but does not necessarily have to help him, since it depends on his will. Nevertheless, love is strength, it has a revitalizing effect and can also awaken a dead soul to life …. The will can be changed through loving intercession and thus rescue a person from spiritual adversity. Yet love must always be the reason for intercession, then it will not be unsuccessful, for resistance against the strength of love is not persistent, because love is always the victor which even the strongest will cannot withstand, because love is divine strength and enforces everything it wants ….

‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise ….’
B.D. 4744 from September 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent ….’ and will give true knowledge to those who have no earthly knowledge but are devoted to Me in love and faith …. And the world shall recognise that in this knowledge a power reveals Itself Which the world wants to deny. The worldly wise shall be taken aback, and I also call those people worldly wise, who have received their spiritual knowledge academically, who have acquired it intellectually, but have not asked Me Myself for it …. Worldly wise I also call those representatives of My teaching who, although they support it, lack sufficient faith to confidently defend My every Word and therefore do not allow the working of My spirit within them either ….
The knowledge they possess will not make them happy, but what I give to My children who desire to hear My Word due to their living faith will also give them great joy, since they recognise it as a gift of grace offered to them by My Fatherly love. Anyone who appears wise before the world and allows his intellect to speak, is and remains ignorant and I shall disregard him …. However, when a heart secretly admits My presence then I will be active and become evident through enlightening this person’s spirit, so that he becomes wise and prudent and capable of throwing light onto things worldly intellect and wisdom are unable to fathom. And I will always work unnoticed, although I will then make sure that even those, whose heart is still inclined towards the world, can also take notice of the truth.
For I want to draw their attention to the fact that they should not seek wisdom from the worldly wise, but that wisdom chooses to present itself in a modest apparel in its quest to contact people. Wisdom does not abide where there is pomp and splendour, for it is divine, it originates from Me and selects a worthy vessel, which is spiritually prepared and does not need worldly merits to be chosen by Me as a bearer of truth. The wisdom of the wise will not find the key to truth, the intellect of the prudent will not seek it in the belief to possess it already …. The key to wisdom, however, is and remains love …. which can ignite to a blaze in the heart of a simple, uneducated person, and such a heart will attract eternal truth which will then make itself audibly known in his heart and guide him into truth …. Then the person will recognise God, love Him with all his heart and erect an altar to Him, he will share his abundance of divine gifts with other people, he will convey profound wisdom and brightest knowledge to all those who are willing to accept it. And thus all who listen to Him will be wise, for they are taught by God Himself, they receive My sermon and will already be blessed on earth and afterwards in the spiritual realm ….

Trials to strengthen faith ….
B.D. 4745 from September 21st 1949, taken from Book No. 54
So that you don’t become lukewarm in your striving you are repeatedly exposed to trials which are meant to raise your eyes to Me, because you must not distance yourselves from Me, for only with Me do you move forward, only My presence gives you strength, and only with Me can you resist the one who wants to ruin you. But the danger of forgetting Me because of the world is very great …. But if you want to be labourers in My vineyard, if you want to be active for Me and My kingdom, then you must constantly be in contact with Me, you must constantly seek My closeness anew, you must know that only My presence will give you strength in order to carry out spiritual work, which will be a blessing for you and your fellow human beings. And thus you should always be aware of My presence in order to constantly communicate with Me through which you receive the strength you need. If you are in spiritual or earthly distress then turn to Me in thought and draw Me to you, you desire My presence and also feel it if you turn to Me in heartfelt prayer and entrust your distress to Me. Then you will also establish the right relationship between children which will make you receptive for My emanation of love which comes to you in the form of My word and is visible evidence of My presence. And through My word you receive strength which you constantly need for your upward development. I will not leave you in adversity …. you should believe and therefore trustingly turn to Me; you should be so convinced of My presence that you will only pay little attention to worldly events in the certainty that I will regulate everything for you and that you will therefore pass the tests which I repeatedly impose on you to strengthen your faith. As long as you are weak in faith every adversity will worry and depress you, but if you let your faith grow stronger then everything difficult will pass you by without tormenting and worrying you, for again and again I call out to you: Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will refresh you …. Always remember this promise and you will also pass every test of faith, because then you will know that I am constantly present to you, always ready to help as soon as you ask Me for it ….
Amen

Prayer in spirit and in truth ….
B.D. 4746 from September 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
A heartfelt thought of Me, a short prayer sent up to Me in spirit and in truth, is pleasing to Me and will be granted, just as I will always draw close to those who communicate with Me in thought, for I feel in contact with them because they try to find Me in absolute truth and therefore I can also let Myself be found by them. Formal prayers, however, are not pleasing to Me because they kill the spirit, they become monotonous conversations I can never listen to, since only the lips speak to Me and not the heart, hence these words will not reach Me because they don’t arise from the heart but are merely uttered by the intellect. Anyone who wants to be heard by Me need not voice any words, I know how he feels in his heart, what he thinks and feels, yet only his conscious direction of thoughts to Me makes Me inclined towards a person, who thus recognises his Father in Me and believes that I will help him. He will be helped …. whereas a prayer can last forever without being successful.
In that case it will be a lip-prayer which I condemn because it can never be heartfelt, because it is not a prayer in spirit and in truth but only a formality which lacks all inner feeling. Communal lip-prayers are an abomination to Me, they literally make it impossible to establish such heartfelt contact with Me since each person will, understandably, have different thoughts, just as each one has different problems which, however, are not touched upon, thus the prayer is everything else but a confidential dialogue with Me which I, however, require in order to be able to grant the petitions. For only the intimate dialogue with Me expresses a person’s faith, the confidence of assured help, which is the prerequisite in order to be able to grant people the help. And therefore you should withdraw into your closet if you want to pray, you should withdraw within yourselves and allow for My presence with heartfelt thoughts which show your love for Me …. Then you will pray as is pleasing to Me and then your prayer will surely be granted ….
Amen

Sign of the near end: spiritual decline …. Apparent state of peace ….
B.D. 4747 from September 25th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
A sure sign of the approaching end is the spiritual decline amongst people. Only rarely will you find people whose soul’s spiritual development is most important. Time and again you will be able to notice that people’s thinking and activity are purely determined by the earthly world, that their thoughts and intentions solely apply to material commodities and that they lack all desire for spiritual knowledge. And once you recognise this you will also have to admit that My intervention will be necessary, or you don’t believe in Me and the correlation between Me and My living creations. But again I draw your attention to the fact that the philosophy of life will change sooner than you think …. The commotion of the world will even let My Own occasionally question the truth of the announcements; they certainly want to believe yet worldly people and their opinion make them waver. However, I will protect them from falling away from Me …. I will appear unexpectedly and provide the evidence of proof to those who are dear to Me due to their will but who are still weak of faith. But since the world has no connection with the spiritual kingdom, since the degeneration amongst people is becoming ever more evident and the small circle of My Own will very soon be isolated from the world and its attitude to life will only be met with ridicule and contempt, the worldly event will help to fortify the faith of My Own, while worldly people will start to take notice if they, due to My love and grace, had been informed of My announcements of the near end through you, My servants.
I Myself will speak where your voice is being ignored. But you, who want to be My Own, continue to strengthen your faith ever more …. Withdraw from the world so that it cannot influence you; live quietly for yourselves and be of service to Me in Word and action; work in seclusion so that the world will not pursue you if it can be avoided. Time presses towards the end and every person’s destiny is determined by his will. Don’t deceive yourselves by the apparent state of peace, it is not a permanent condition but very soon will start to get cloudy and suddenly turn into a battle of immense importance …. Everything will be in uproar, the powers will fight each other earthly and spiritually and necessitate My intervention. Then a few people will still attain realisation and join the circle of My Own. And they all have My promise that I will help and protect them during the last days before the end. I will be with all who want to be with Me, and they will be aware of My presence and therefore be strong of faith, so that even in the fiercest battle they will persevere and remain faithful to Me until the end ….
Amen

Astrology …. Destiny in the stars ….
B.D. 4748 from September 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Only what is relevant for the redemption of the spiritual substance, hence only what provides more or less detailed knowledge about My plan of Salvation and thereby also testifies to Me and My fundamental nature, should be regarded as given by My spirit. Knowledge outside this framework, which neither awakens in people the belief in My love, wisdom and omnipotence, nor promotes the individual’s maturity of soul …. furthermore, knowledge which contradicts Christ’s teaching such that it negates the human being’s free will, which thus would leave the person at the mercy of his destiny without his own will …. finally, knowledge which believes that it can reveal a future veiled to people by My wisdom …. is not the working of the spirit and therefore not in accordance with My will. Rather, it is My adversary’s means to divert people from true knowledge and to mislead them. People will never be able to ascertain or calculate how an individual person’s destiny unfolds itself, all such claims are wrong conclusions or conjectures. They could certainly be coincidentally accurate but then never on account of calculations or influences from specific stars; instead a person’s destiny always corresponds to My plan of eternity which is based on the human being’s free will.
In the great space of creation myriad stars are indeed visible to the people of this earth, but these stars do not exert an influence on people, (28.09.1949) which can be understood by anyone who considers that countless stars are moving within their designated orbit, that this regularity has been recognised by My wisdom since the beginning of eternity to be good and right, that all stars support living beings for the purpose of higher development and that their destiny is also determined, but it will never be affected by other stars. The inhabitants of earth can only physically sense atmospheric currents which appear in the proximity of certain stars but they have no bearing on the destiny of an individual person.
The conformity to law in the entire universe, the eternal order which can be seen in My creation, is certainly sufficient evidence of a guiding power …. But the same order also takes place in the process of development of the beings, for whom creation as a whole came into existence in the first place …. The fact that these creations have a certain influence on the development of spiritual beings is correct, but only in as much as that they provide the latter with the opportunity for perpetual transformation and therefore gradual ascent. However, in the stage of free will people are confronted by events the way I, in My wisdom, deemed them to be beneficial for the being. The fact that all life on Earth takes place with a certain regularity causes people to come to wrong conclusions …. they interpreted this regularity in line with their own ideas and concluded that they relate to the destiny of the human being. Yet these investigations do not correspond to the truth by any means and are not approved by Me either, for I will always accept the human being’s free will, even though I have determined his fate since eternity ….

Exhortation to living faith …. thoughts ….
B.D. 4749 from September 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
And thus the voice of the lord speaks to you who take notice of His word through His servants on earth: ‘
“Nothing is hidden from Me, even your thoughts are revealed to Me, and I judge you according to these thoughts”. Your innermost thoughts are known to Me and therefore it is pointless to try to deceive Me with words. Your heart betrays you, even though your mouth speaks differently. I want to make you eye and ear witnesses of the last event on this earth; I want you to then stand firm in faith, and I therefore prepare you for the coming time. And now it is up to you what you take from My word. I only want to draw your attention to the fact that you may only hope for My help by believing in Me, for at the end of the time on this earth only the believer will keep his life, while the unbeliever will find death, but this refers to the death of the spirit, the state of being banished into form. Thus I demand faith in order to be able to help you, and I am not satisfied with merely professing faith with the mouth. I know every thought and therefore you cannot deceive Me. My love certainly wants to help you, yet you reject My love which comes to you in the form of My word, for you do not accept My word and therefore not Me Myself either. And thus your fate is sealed, for My adversary gains power over you because your will does not resist him and because you do not accept the strength of resistance from Me which you could always receive through My word. And thus I call out to you once again: Look within yourselves, try to gain living faith, make contact with Me and draw strength from Me which you need in order to persevere until the end. And bear in mind that I know everything about your will, about your weakness of faith and also about your lack of loving activity. Yet if only you turn your will towards Me I will help you and save you from certain ruin; I will give you strength so that you will attain the right faith, so that I can save you from the night of death ….

Earthly care unnecessary …. God's help ….
B.D. 4750 from September 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Do not worry about earthly things, but leave this worry to Me. Do you know what I have intended for you? Do you know what I deny you? And why I give you one thing and want to take away another? But I know what is good for you and truly withhold nothing from you that does not harm you. But now that you are My servants, every worry about earthly things is unnecessary, because He in Whose service you are will take abundant care of you and knows about all your needs and will meet them because He loves you. Don’t worry about what tomorrow will bring, but be careful how every worry will vanish into nothing if you have faithfully entrusted it to Me …. Whatever weighs you down, carry it to Me and I will certainly take your burden off you if only you come to Me with complete faith, if you see your father in Me and now speak to Me like a child to its father for help in your adversity. For I only wait for your plea and as soon as it rises from your heart to Me I will hear it. But also know that you are close to the end and that you therefore also have to live through the time of adversity which I have announced to you; that you are therefore still exposed to many trials but which I only allow to come upon you in order to help you gain a strong, insurmountable faith. I will release you again from every adversity of body and soul and thereby make Myself recognizable to all who demand a sign from Me, of My presence, of My love and omnipotence. Yet you are wise if you disregard all earthly worries, if you only work diligently and silently for Me and only lean firmly on Me with the firm confidence that I will take all your worries upon Myself and give you what you need …. then you can truly be certain of My help, for I know about all your hardships and will remedy them when the time is right ….

Spreading the doctrine of love task of the servants of God ….
B.D. 4751 from October 1st 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I have taken you into service because I know about your will, about your ability to be active on My behalf. And thus I now instruct you so that you can perform your service well, I train you for your activity. You will only be My pupils for a short time, but then your knowledge will suffice to be able to be a wise guide for your fellow human beings. Yet I will constantly remain with you with My spirit, that is, your teaching activity will always be carried out with the assistance of My spirit; and therefore you need not fear not being up to your task. For I Myself actually instruct the people to whom you are to bring the gospel. But this has to happen through you because I cannot speak to them directly without revealing Myself to them in My divinity. But they would not be able to bear this in their immature state and therefore I need you as mediators, for they need My instruction which I send to them through you. Hence you work for Me and I through you, for people are in dire need because they no longer know anything about Me and can no longer believe what they are told. But I want to revive their faith or correct it, for people are wrongly taught and therefore have already fallen away from Me, because every error leads away from Me and only the truth leads to Me. This is why I take action against error, this is why I instruct you, My servants, to always preach the truth and fight against error, because only the truth leads to eternal life, because you can only become blissfully happy through the truth …. Thus I only need you to spread the truth which I convey to you so that you will be suitable as spreaders of My teaching, which only commands love. I need you since you, through your will, make it possible for Me to make Myself known to you, because only through My direct activity, through the transmission of My word, can the truth be conveyed to you and thus you, as My disciples, increase your knowledge which enables you to teach your fellow human beings. You are to bring light to them, which they urgently need but have had to do without until now, because people are rarely found who can dispel the darkness of night as bearers of light. This is a beautiful task which brings blessings to both the teachers and their pupils and which will also always find My approval, My support, My grace, precisely because it is necessary. Therefore I constantly accept servants who want to work for Me and bless them and their will. And anyone who serves Me like this on earth will be rewarded by Me in eternity, for a faithful servant is worthy of his reward ….
