Choose a proclamation

Ecclesiastical commandments ….

B.D. 4840 from February 16th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You will not receive any special instructions from Me as to what kind of attitude you should adopt towards the humanly decreed commandments of the church. Whatever you do of your own free will is valued by Me, whatever you do under duress, be it for fear of punishment or even due to habit, means nothing to Me. Whatever people tell you to do shall also be rewarded by people, people shall never be assured of receiving a reward from Me which I Myself have never promised. Even so, I cannot sanction something that utterly opposes My will, because I gave people freedom of will which, however, is infringed upon by humanly decreed commandment, for a commandment is an obligation which excludes the use of free will. I Myself gave people only one commandment, the commandment of love which is fundamental law and must be observed so as not to violate My eternal order …. However, the commandment of love is nevertheless a commandment which allows people’s freedom of will. There is no compulsion urging him to be lovingly active, and neither will he be punished by Me, it is just that he will punish himself because he pays no attention to the only means which signifies redemption for him from a self-inflicted state of constraint. I gave people the commandment of love which can be voluntarily complied with or rejected …. People issued additional commandments which do not meet My approval, for they are not borne by love for fellow human beings but are mere measures to increase power, because the affiliation to an organisation, which lays claim to be the true church of Christ, is made dependent on the fulfilment of these laws. Hence it places people under compulsion who, in the belief of committing a sin, will subsequently fulfil these commandments and thus direct their whole attention to them …. and neglect My commandment of love ….

Love can only grow in freedom. Love and coercion oppose each other, and therefore I cannot recognise in the fulfilment of the ecclesiastical commandments any love for Me as long as they have been traditionally complied with, effectively as avowal of the authority which decreed these commandments. Besides, these commandments are not suitable to ignite love for Me because they portray Me as a Being which is afflicted by human weaknesses, demanding obedience, reverence and acknowledgement when, in fact, I only want to be loved. Before My eyes nothing is a sin but that which offends against love for Me and other people. No-one will ever acquire merit who complies with the commandments of the church just because they are commandments which should be fulfilled …. Free will shall choose Me on account of love, and this is why people don’t need any other commandments but the one I Myself gave to them in realisation of the blessing which arises for every person from fulfilling it.

Amen

Disbelief towards the truth bearers ….

B.D. 4841 from February 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

The bearers of truth and representatives of My word on earth will not succeed in convincing people of the truth of what they have received directly from Me through the inner voice. And the process of receiving My word from above is unknown to people, they know neither the cause nor the purpose of this impartation, they are too distant from Me Myself that they have no living faith and therefore consider something impossible, but which is only extraordinary because they are not in the relationship with Me as it should be, and the people who have entered into this relationship are very rare. Hence they are confronted by something entirely alien, they lack the knowledge of the working of the spirit in the human being and reject every explanation about it …. They are unbelievers and call themselves believers. Only a few will be open-minded, and for the sake of these few you should speak and represent the truth wherever possible. Anyone who accepts it will be greatly blessed, anyone who rejects it will one day bitterly regret it, for salvation was close to him but his will is wrong and, since he is free, the truth cannot be conveyed to him in any other way. Nevertheless, you must not become weary, you must not allow yourselves to be distracted if you have little success. As bearers of truth you will know yourselves what people lack and that they cannot be won over in any other way than through instruction. As bearers of truth you will also recognize the attitude of the individual, you will know the degree of maturity and make corresponding efforts or slacken your efforts where you are not accepted. In the last days you will wrestle for every soul, your eyes will be sharpened and you will seize every opportunity to help a lost soul onto the right path, and even if it is only a few that you lead to Me, these few will be saved, they will escape eternal ruin, i.e. they will be spared the infinitely long time of a renewed path through creation. And these souls will thank you eternally. Therefore, be faithful labourers for Me in My vineyard, be eager representatives for Me on earth, because I need every one of you in the last time before the end ….

Amen

True disciples …. Working of the spirit …. ‘Why’ misguided teachings ….

B.D. 4842 from February 18th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

My disciples were enlightened by My spirit and therefore taught correctly. When they preached for Me and My kingdom they could not utter anything but the words I put into their mouths, the words that My spirit revealed to them. And they taught the same as I Myself had preached to people on earth; they instructed them in My name, they spoke on My behalf, and thus they proclaimed to people the true Gospel in accordance with My will. And their true followers will always be those who are likewise enlightened by My spirit, for only they will speak the truth, only they will be My true representatives on earth. However, anyone who is not enlightened by My spirit yet preaches all the same will not uphold the pure truth, because a person in whom My spirit cannot express itself will distort the truth, he will interpret My previously spoken Word incorrectly, he will teach errors even though he has acquired knowledge through study and deems himself capable of instructing other people as a teacher.

The simplest explanation for it is this: Where My spirit cannot work My adversary’s spirit is at work, and he works in a truly truth-destroying manner …. This explains the ease with which My pure teaching can be spoilt and then be offered to people in the form of a distorted representation. To understand the spiritual meaning of My spoken Word as I want it understood requires the working of My spirit within the person, it requires enlightenment of thought, and this in turn requires a way of life in accordance with My will. Nevertheless, the latter does not consist of fulfilling commandments decreed by a church but solely of fulfilling My commandments, the commandments of love for God and other people. A life of love results in the person becoming a vessel for My spirit, and only such a person is enabled to instruct other people, only he knows the spiritual meaning of My every Word …. And this knowledge is absolutely essential in order to recognise the blatant error into which people have turned My Word. This knowledge, which My spirit gives to a person who wants to serve Me, entitles him to teach, and after that every instruction is again aided by My spirit …. Anyone working for Me will not utter anything but My will, because I want people to be told the truth ….

But the spirit of falsehood dominates people because My spirit, the mediator of truth, can no longer express itself in those who believe themselves to be My disciples’ successors, those who are holding the ministry but who have no contact with the giver of truth themselves. Although they interpret My Word they do not know the spiritual meaning of My Word at all, they teach what they were taught by the fathers. They thoughtlessly accepted these teachings and unreservedly passed them on, without thinking that sooner or later they will have to answer for every word. Being spiritually blind themselves they are blind leaders of their fellow human beings, instead of guiding them into truth they turn them away from it. I have never preached on earth what they claim to be Christ’s teaching, because they only observe the letter and do not understand the true meaning, since My spirit cannot enlighten them. Believing to possess it, they do not search for truth, thus they do not seek Me and therefore I cannot guide them into truth. For if they sought Me they would live within love and then recognise Me, because I reveal Myself to everyone who believes in Me and keeps My commandments. Anyone who wants to be My disciple has to follow Me as My apostles did, he has to live a life of selfless love for his neighbour, awakening his spirit within him so that he unites with Me through love and subsequently can be taught by Me Myself, as it is written ‘You all shall be taught by God ….’ My spirit will guide him into truth and only then can he be My representative on earth ….

Amen

Swirl of the world …. (Rose Monday)

B.D. 4843 from February 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

In the hustle and bustle of the world, people stifle any drive to reach higher. It is like a poisonous breath that makes human hearts incapable of spiritual striving. No seed can sprout, it withers before it develops, because it is sickened by the pestilential breath of the world. Understand that you humans are in great danger of losing yourselves to the enemy of your soul, understand that he uses all means to stop your growth towards the light, that he spreads poison to destroy the good seed. Understand that the pleasures of the world are the poison to which your soul falls hopelessly prey. In the frenzy of pleasure you seek your happiness, and you plunge your soul into misfortune. You pay tribute to the lord of the world and you sell your soul, for you desire his treasures and only seek fulfilment of bodily desires and cravings. And he does not deny it to you, he gives abundantly, but he also demands everything in return, he wins you completely. For the sake of trifling rewards you give yourselves into his hands. Hours of exuberant joy of life are enough for you, and for this you sacrifice eternal times in bliss …. You have become slaves to him who drags you into ruin. If you were to remember Me you would not be able to enjoy the goings-on, you would turn away from the poisonous breath so that it could not touch you; you would recognize that the world is your enemy because it is part of My adversary. But your thoughts no longer find their way to Me, they are chained to earth, they only revolve around the lust of the world, around sin, which you try to conceal and yet love. You can well deceive yourselves but not Me, Who sees into your hearts. I do not condemn you, but you distance yourselves from Me, for there is no love in you apart from self-love, which pulls you down but cannot lift you up. For if you had love you would not be far from Me but would seek Me in all your ways. Then the world would not be able to tempt you, then My adversary would have lost his power over you, then you would not follow the temptations of the world. For through love you would also stand in knowledge. But it is dark in you and you only chase after the false light. You seek joys and find death in the process …. For once the enemy of souls has won him over he will not give him up again, and breaking away from him requires great strength of love which, however, can rarely still be developed by a person who once falls prey to him ….

Amen

Purification of the teaching of Christ ….

B.D. 4844 from February 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 55

A purification of the teaching, which is spread on earth as Christ’s teaching, must first take place if a unification of christian denominations is to come about, for the core of every community of faith must always be the teaching which I Myself proclaimed on earth. But as long as this teaching is so deformed it can never shape people who are members of the church founded by Me. For this requires a deep, living faith which, however, cannot possibly be gained through a deformed teaching. What a person should believe with conviction must also stand up to serious scrutiny, i.e. the human being’s intellect must be involved in the examination, and the intellect must also be able to recognize what is demanded to be believed as proving the nature of God. He must be able to believe it because it gives him an image of Me which corresponds to the truth, because it allows Me to be recognized as the God of love, wisdom and omnipotence. Such a teaching will not give rise to doubts or disputes but always unite people as brothers, whereas every educated teaching gives rise to divisions which can only be remedied again when the former is purified, that is, when those come together who possess My teaching again in its purest form, who seriously endeavour to live according to this teaching and convey it to their fellow human beings in the same purity. There is only one truth, and I Myself conveyed it on earth to people who listened to Me and believed in Me. Anyone who was pure of heart recognized it as truth and remained faithful to it. But anyone who exalted himself, who disregarded humility, who was devoid of all love, did not hold the truth sacred and changed it to his advantage. And thus My teaching did not remain what it originally was and could no longer bring blessings to people because they no longer recognized Me correctly, because they had fallen into wrong thinking due to the misguided teachings. And since everyone again believed himself to be in the truth, the divisions and different schools of thought arose which all claim to be the church founded by Me ….

(23.2.1950) Again and again they split off, again and again new organizations arise, the human being’s intellect ponders more and more where only the working of My spirit can bring enlightenment. Individuals certainly come closer to the truth again, but they are opposed by those who represent their spiritual knowledge and yet are far removed from the truth. But the masses will never stand in the truth, because this is only the prerogative of those who seriously strive towards Me, and this is not the case with most people. It is only a few whose spirit is enlightened, although it is everyone’s right to put themselves into this state, for the gift of grace to stand in truth is not denied to anyone by Me. And thus it will also never be possible to form an organization which unites all people and yet can claim to be the church founded by Me. Every existing organization has members of My church, these are the people whose faith is profound and alive through a way of life in love, who seriously strive to attain Me and eagerly strive for the truth …. They will also realize where the spiritual knowledge imparted to them contains misguided teachings, they will free themselves from them and only regard as My pure teaching what their heart unhesitatingly accepts. In order to confirm their thinking I will send the pure truth down to earth again, as happens again and again when people are no longer able to interpret My word correctly, when they have entangled themselves in misguided teachings and alone are unable to find out what is truth and what is error. I am again amongst people in spirit and give them My word, which My apostles also heard after My ascension into heaven through the inner word. Anyone who has this word of Mine, who receives it directly from Me, i.e. who hears My voice within himself mentally or in sound, who believes these direct recipients of Mine and also accepts the word as pure truth and now stands up for it, regardless of which denomination he belongs to, who teaches his fellow human beings about it in love, contributes his share, unification of ecclesiastical denominations, for in this sole truth all will find themselves who are of serious and good will, who place My church above all else, which I Myself founded, and who see no obstacle in the individual denominations to be members of the true church of Christ, which cannot be overwhelmed by the gates of hell, as I Myself have promised ….

Amen

Composition of the soul …. Miniature creation ….

B.D. 4845 from February 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

The human being´s soul is a formation consisting of inconceivably numerous miniature creations. It is effectively a composition of creations which were its past embodiments, so that it can be called the whole work of God´s creation Who demonstrated His infinite love, wisdom and omnipotence in the human soul. The human being has no idea that he shelters the entire creation in his soul, but when, after the death of his body, he is able to behold himself in the spiritual kingdom he will look with utmost reverence and love for God upon the works of wonder he finds within himself again. The soul substance of every embodiment during this process of development is gathered, and thus the individual substances of the human soul have moved through the whole of creation and now exhibit an incredible versatility. Only then will it become obvious how magnificent God’s works of creation are, and His greatness, His love, wisdom and omnipotence will emerge so distinctly that all living creations remain poised in reverence and love for God Who provides such immeasurable happiness to His living creations through becoming aware of His strength and the realization of Himself. However, the soul requires a certain degree of maturity as to be able to behold itself, this is why it is one of the beatitudes belonging to those in the kingdom of light. Beholding the soul is part of Jesus´ promise ‘eye has not seen, nor ear heard, the things which I have prepared for those who love Me ….’ Hence the soul can examine all areas, it can behold what it has never seen before, but which is undeniably present in creation, and it is aware of the fact that these wonders will never end, that constantly new formations emerge and yet it will never tire of beholding these creations, instead it will want to see increasingly more and thus also become increasingly happier. The soul is something imperceptible for human senses and therefore cannot be understood either. For the person on earth it is something spiritual, in the spiritual kingdom, however, it is the essence, it is that which animates the spiritual creations, it is the true living being in the spiritual kingdom because it is permeated by the strength of God. And thus it finds within itself every thought of God again which He shaped into a form through His strength of will. Every work of creation is a manifested thought of God. And so the human soul is an enormous work of creation in miniature …. yet for people on earth it is a doubtful concept, it is something of whose existence they are not entirely convinced and which they can never prove scientifically either. Earthly people consider the soul a nothing or a questionable object, in truth, however, it is the most magnificent creation which gives evidence of God´s love, wisdom and omnipotence, which glorifies Him in the spiritual kingdom, which is everlasting and gives rise to constantly praising God by all those who dwell in the kingdom of light and are blessed ….

Reference to the approaching time of adversity ….

B.D. 4846 from February 25th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Listen and believe that you humans are approaching a dreadful time …. It will affect every individual person, although it will be easier for those who carry Me in their hearts, thus, who live their lives looking upwards. This time will be a heavy burden for everyone, for it will result in further adversity which will seem almost too much to bear for you. You will be shocked to the core, for you will experience external and internal adversity so that you shall turn to Me, so that you shall finally find the path to Me, your God and Father of eternity. This is the last means I will use before the end. If this does not help to change those of you who have committed yourselves to the world nothing will be able to save you anymore, then you will be enslaved to My adversary for good and must share his fate …. to be enchained at the end of days …. You only have a little time left until then, and during this short time I will repeatedly approach you in order to save you from ruin, in order to bring you to your senses before it is too late. Take the message I send to you through My servants on earth seriously and adjust your life accordingly, and when you are confronted by the immense adversity remember that it will soon be followed by the end, which I also have announced. Then you should use every day by frequently seeking contact with Me, ignore all earthly matters and pray to Me in spirit and in truth, calling upon Me for grace, which I will truly not deny you. I will grant your prayer, I will shower you with blessings and give you strength and a strong faith so that you will persevere until the end ….

Amen

The process of Christ's return …. Ascension ….

B.D. 4847 from February 26th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

My return, My coming at the end of the world, is being doubted by those people whose faith is not entirely firm. And yet, they would be able to recognise the individual phases of the end time and also perceive My presence simply by being observant. ‘I will remain with you always until the end of time ….’ These Words alone should be sufficient for you to form a correct idea of My return. The fact that I Am not visibly in your midst should therefore allow you to understand the spiritual meaning of My Words. I Am staying with My Own until the end of the world. For, since My ascension to heaven, I have been present to them at all times and everywhere …. For I said: I will remain with you …. Hence I was spiritually always with My Own and will remain with them until the end of time …. However, in those days I informed people of My return, of My coming in the clouds. Consequently, this return should be understood such that people will be able to see Me, just as My disciples saw Me ascend to heaven. Spiritually I Am indeed always with you humans if you prove yourselves worthy of My presence. But I will return bodily, albeit not in My earthly body, yet nevertheless visibly to those to whom I want to return …. But since I announced My return, you humans can also expect it with certainty if you believe My Word and belong to those who will experience the final end. I did not make this promise without reason before My ascension into heaven. I foresaw humanity’s spiritual state during the last days, I also saw the tremendous adversity of the believers who want to remain faithful to Me and who will be put under extreme pressure, and I saw their struggle, the most severe battle people will have to fight for the sake of My name …. I saw their will and the great danger of having to stand firm amid devils. For this reason I promised to them My personal help, which I will indeed render when the time has come. I Myself will come to My Own and support them in the last battle. And thus many may be able to behold Me, for I will always be present where the adversity is immense and My Own need Me …. they will see Me as a human being of flesh and blood, yet not born of a woman, instead I will come from above and clothe Myself with a visible form for you, so that you will be able to endure Me …. And everyone beholding Me will be permeated by strength and survive the last battle on earth …. But then I will come in the clouds in order to fetch My Own home into the kingdom of peace. This coming will take place in the same way but in reverse to the order through which My ascension to heaven happened. I will descend to earth in radiant light …. yet enshrouded by clouds in order to be visible to you …. and gather My Own in order to save them from utmost adversity and distress on part of the underworld’s demons as well as from the ultimate act of destruction to which everything alive in, on and above the earth will fall prey. However, this coming in the clouds will also only be visible to those who belong to My Own, for My adversary’s followers will be unable to see Me. It will be a spiritual return and yet also physically perceptible, but only by those who are spiritually reborn, who have a profound and living faith and therefore also accept both My constant presence until the end of the world as well as My visible return without doubt, because they are taught by their heart, the spiritual spark in the person, and consequently belong to those with whom I will remain until the end of time …. They believe that I will come back and I will not disappoint their faith ….

Amen

The work of God's servants in the last days ….

B.D. 4848 from February 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You will know when your time has come, when you have to step forward to proclaim My Word to all those who need help. For your heart will tell you, you will feel inwardly urged to speak about My extraordinary working affecting you externally and internally, about My Word and the approaching end, in order to help your fellow human beings who take the wrong paths and therefore believe that they will perish in the earthly adversity. And I will support you in every way …. you will feel that I Am with you Myself when you speak for Me and My kingdom, for My name. You will be very busy because you are happy doing your work and, despite the surrounding adversity, will barely be affected by it. For My working on My servants on earth will be obvious, every person will be able to recognise what blessings the contact with Me entail if he merely opens his eyes and is seriously minded and does not deliberately oppose Me. I want to be your companion wherever you go; I want to guide you to where you are urgently needed. You will only be able to work for a short time and so you should use the time in order to offer God’s kingdom to many people. For then a different kind of adversity will follow …. Oppression and brutal measures will be used by the earthly authorities against all those who inwardly carry the faith in Me, the faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation. Then everyone who had previously listened will be able to make a choice, and this decision will come easy to him if he has accepted My Word he received from you in his heart. In that case he can be counted as one of the flock of My Own, he will likewise fight on My behalf, if not openly then nevertheless through professing Me and My name before the world. Much seed must still be sown and steps should be taken so that the field is well prepared to receive the seed. This is why much work must still be done beforehand, for which I will take you into My service and guide you on your paths such that you will also be able to accomplish it if you are willing. I need you and therefore will place you in a position where you can be of service to Me. I will smooth your every path, I will place you where you can successfully work for Me, I will prepare you for your teaching activity and provide you with the strength for it, I will take care of you so that you can devote yourselves to the service of God’s kingdom without being burdened by earthly worry. I will speak to you through your heart when the time has come for you to take up your teaching mission. Whatever you do for Me and My kingdom must be done by you of your own free will, and therefore you must enjoy it, that is, you must be so permeated by your task that you, impelled from within, will fulfil it out of love of Me and your neighbour. You must be so permeated by My Word that you also want to pass it on to your fellow human beings and especially when the time of adversity comes, which I have always and forever announced to you. Then people will only be lifted up by My Word and then your time will have come for which I Am preparing you. Then you will feel My directive in your heart and diligently accomplish what I require of you. Then you will be actively involved as My endtime disciples in the redemption of erring souls out of love of Me and your fellow human beings ….

Amen

Work in the vineyard of the Lord ….

B.D. 4849 from March 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You still have a large field to cultivate, you shall cultivate a field which still lies fallow and needs diligent hands, and work will have to be done which requires all your strength because you no longer have much time left for it. Yet I will bless your work, I will give you a field to cultivate which is well suited to bear good fruit, even though not every seed will sprout. And thus I will lead you to those to whom you shall proclaim My word, in whose hearts you shall scatter the seed so that it will sprout and bear fruit. There are many seeking people on earth and they are like a good field which is pure from weeds and therefore well suited to receive the seed which is My word from above. You will recognize them, you will feel urged to speak to them and also find approval. And if you mention My working to them you will also feel that the seed falls on good soil …. that it will then sprout depends on the will of the recipient himself, it is the work the human being then has to do on himself …. He must expose himself to the invigorating sunlight, that is, he must allow himself to be irradiated by My sun of grace, so that the word will come alive in him and now transform his whole being …. so that My word will flood him with strength and light. You will still have to do a lot of work, for it is barren and desolate far and wide. You must make the hearts of your fellow human beings receptive for My teaching; you must let the living water flow to them, the source of which has been made accessible to you, so that anyone who is thirsty may drink it. Do not let any opportunity pass by to sow My seed, bear in mind that there is not much time left and that much ground still lies fallow which shall be cultivated, and thus work diligently for your lord, to Whom you want to be faithful servants …. Be diligent, fill His scrubbers, for the end is near, when the fruits shall be reaped, which, however, require a good sowing …. And at the time of harvest many reapers are needed. Therefore I accept everyone who offers his services to Me, who works in My vineyard as a faithful servant for Me and My kingdom ….

Amen

'I will remain with you ….' 'I will send you the Comforter ….'

B.D. 4850 from March 3rd 1950, taken from Book No. 55

I will remain with you always until the end of time …. These Words alone should be enough for you to also believe in My working amongst you as well as being an explanation for all kinds of revelations which emerge as the working of the spirit. Furthermore, the fact that I Am in the midst of My Own was proclaimed by Me with the Words I said to My disciples: ‘Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there Am I in the midst of them ….’ Thus, the prerequisite for My presence, and therefore also for the working of My spirit, is faith in the power of My name, a confession of Me as the Redeemer of humanity …. Thus you should gather in My name if you want to hear Me Myself in the form of My Word, in the form of revelations from the spiritual kingdom. Each one of My statements is a spiritual revelation which, however, all people could hear through the voice of the spirit as I have promised: ‘I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, which will guide you into all truth and will remind you of Me ….’ ‘It will remind you of everything I have said to you ….’ Hence, through the voice of the spirit you will hear the same Words and you will know that it is I Who is speaking to you, that they are My Words I want to remind you of again. And you will remember Me, for My Words are spirit and life if you hear them through the inner voice. They are not merely empty Words which are only heard by the ear, instead, they penetrate your heart, after all, I Myself Am speaking to your through the voice of the spirit and I use the same Words as during My life on earth, so that you will recognise Me in them. However, you won’t recognise My presence by these Words alone …. it is the spiritual meaning concealed within, which can only be grasped by an enlightened spirit, by a person whose way of life allows for the working of the spirit. He understands everything and in turn can instruct people who are still spiritually unawakened. My Word has to be explained to them, otherwise they interpret it literally and subsequently won’t be able to recognise either My love or My wisdom, indeed, they frequently only interpret the meaning of the letter and gain little or no spiritual knowledge at all. But I Myself Am among you and want to educate you , and therefore I bless each person who prepares his heart as an abode and accepts Me therein and eagerly listens to what I reveal to him, but he is also a doer of My Word and therefore recognises its spiritual meaning. He will hear Me Myself speak and allow Me to speak to his fellow human beings to whom I want to reveal Myself, so that My promise will come true ‘I will remain with you always until the end of time …. I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, which will guide you into all truth and will remind you of everything I have said to you ….’

Amen

Old seers and prophets …. pictures …. accordance ….

B.D. 4851 from March 5th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Worldly people in their ignorance of spiritual things will never be able to fathom what ancient seers and prophets have spoken on My behalf, and therefore only few people will understand the profound spiritual meaning of those prophecies, only few people will know in which time they will be fulfilled. From the beginning of this period of salvation I gave people indications of the end, of the abuses in the time of the end, of the devilish activity and the battle against the believers; I let them see, however, not the natural effect of people’s will, which was completely turned away from Me, but the coming events stood before their eyes in pictures which they were unable to interpret themselves and whose meaning was also hidden from the seers themselves. Yet none of the images they saw was without meaning because the seers and prophets were pious people devoted to Me whom I chose to act as warners and admonishers among people of all generations until the end. Anyone who seriously endeavoured to lead a life pleasing to Me also came close to the truth when reflecting on those images; yet it is only possible for an awakened spirit to explain them correctly. I foresaw the time, I knew all grievances from the beginning, I knew the development of people earthly and spiritually, I recognized all shortcomings, the delusion among people, I knew about the stubborn rejection of truth, about the triumph of error, which therefore triumphed for a long time because the prerequisite was given in people’s behaviour towards Me, because the majority of them are children of My adversary who take wrong paths and are therefore blind to the truth, while error is accepted and spread by them without hesitation. In the spiritual world such attitudes and the resulting events have an effect as distorted images, as everything spiritual has correspondences, and thus the seers of that time saw the course of events in the last days in such images which truly had to horrify a person whose soul was gentle and who was right with Me as a seer and prophet because of his devotion to God. It was not given to him to interpret his visions and dreams because I wanted what he saw to remain unfounded until the end. But his visions were to be preserved for posterity in order to inspire seeking and striving people to think again and again. And even in the end time there will only be a few who are clairaudient and clairvoyant and well understand the visions of My prophets of old in their realization of people’s spiritual low and the nearness of the announced end. I will enlighten their spirit as soon as it is necessary for them to inform their fellow human beings, and if they then speak on My behalf they will also proclaim the pure truth, for they will not speak until they have been instructed to do so, and from that moment on they will clearly recognize the meaning of what is otherwise incomprehensible to their fellow human beings until I Myself lift the veil …. until what ancient seers and prophets have foretold in My will is fulfilled ….

Amen

Recognizing God and faith not without love ….

B.D. 4852 from March 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You will not profess Me if you live a life without love, because then you will not be able to recognize Me either and you will not stand up for something which is doubtful to yourselves. Love alone enlightens your spirit, love alone enables you to believe in Me. But faith is only to be understood as a firm inner conviction, not words of which the heart knows nothing. Love gives birth to this firm conviction, thus faith without love will not be possible even if My existence is constantly preached to you with eloquent words. But as soon as you live in love I am in you Myself, and then you must also acknowledge Me because you feel Me, even if you are not aware of it. Then your heart will drive you to it, you will desire that I am, and therefore you will also recognize Me because I reveal Myself to those who are united with Me through love. These revelations are of different kinds but the result is always a convinced faith; then you will no longer reject Me but recognize Me and also stand up for Me in front of your fellow human beings, and all this will result in love …. If you do works of love you already make use of My strength, and you cannot deny Whose strength you use. The fundamental substance of My being is love, you, My creatures, are also made of the same substance …. If you are without love you will no longer feel anything of that elemental strength of which I am the source. Thus I am not recognizable to you either, and consequently you are not aware of Me either. Then the teaching of God is only an empty concept for you, without meaning and understanding. Only love gives you the power of realization, you now feel like a product of a powerful force which has to be a being in highest perfection …. A light has been kindled in you through love …. You will recognize and love Me, the light within you will shine ever brighter, you will mature in realization, i.e. receive profound knowledge from Me, you will try to align your nature with Mine, and you will also confess Me before the world, because love makes you strong and believing and only in this faith can you resist all people who want to shake your love for Me. Love unites you with Me and makes you My children, and then you will have achieved the aim set for you for your earthly life as a human being …. you believe in Me and love Me and now unite with Me forever ….

Amen

Prevalence of sin ….

B.D. 4853 from March 7th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Sin will prevail and people will live in lust and sin without a sense of responsibility, for satan rules the world and people are in bondage to him. And they willingly follow his whisperings, weakly and without resistance they succumb to his temptations, they fulfil the body’s desires and have nothing in abhorrence, sin entices them and thus people sink into their mire. It is coming to an end …. Anyone who pays attention to people’s behaviour also knows what hour has struck, that the earth is ripe for destruction and that people forget their purpose of life on earth and thus stand before the abyss. Satan has them completely under his control and they no longer offer him any resistance, they acknowledge him as their lord and do what he demands of them. In sin people will suffocate, in sin they will perish, for in the midst of the enjoyment of life they will find their end, as it is written …. And so I call out to people: One day you will all have to answer for your thoughts and actions and words; you will all be judged according to your will and your works. Do not fall into sin, keep yourselves pure and detest evil, so that sin does not become your ruin, so that it does not drag you into the abyss. Do not dull the admonisher within you, listen to the voice of conscience which warns you against every bad thought and every bad action. Pay attention to its voice and follow it, do not easily ignore sin but remember Him who will judge you one day, who is just and punishes every sin because it demands atonement. Do not let yourselves be tempted by the attractions of the world, and do not fulfil your body’s every desire, for it tempts you to sin. Keep yourselves pure and remember that you cannot stand before My eyes if you fall into sin and do not detest it. Free yourselves from satan, who tempts you if you do not resist him. Sin has great power over you and therefore you should beware of it, for you thereby commit yourselves to My adversary and distance yourselves from Me, and this means eternal ruin for you ….

Blind guides …. preventing the truth …. arrogance ….

B.D. 4854 from March 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

The fact that people are kept in the darkness of the spirit is clearly recognizable by the fact that even the leaders do not seek the light but feel comfortable in the darkness and thus do not strive to bring light to those entrusted to them. They could well do so, just as anyone can stand in the light who only earnestly wants to do so. And so the leaders also have the possibility to awaken the spirit within themselves, which now imparts brightest light to them and chases away the darkness. But free will is needed for this act of awakening the spirit, and this is lacking. And therefore both the blind in spirit as well as their leaders grope in darkness, and the latter are even guilty of neglecting their actual office as teachers if they themselves are not serious enough about the truth and therefore are not able to be a teacher to their fellow human beings. They could very easily acquire the missing knowledge if they would listen to what is required to attain the truth from God. But they remain within the self-created limits of their knowledge, they shut themselves off from every ray of light which would like to penetrate the boundary, they also deny the light bearers entrance and are therefore ignorant through their own fault and yet full of arrogance towards those who stand in knowledge and in truth. The fact that they themselves do not see is their own harm, for one day they will have to answer for the way they behaved against God’s grace, Who wanted to help them to the right knowledge. But they increase their guilt by their behaviour towards their fellow human beings, to whom they should serve as guides. They also withhold the truth from them, which they could very well distribute if they themselves had the will for truth. For the firm will also guarantees the supply of truth, because God helps everyone to realization who desires it. People are kept in ignorance and do not release themselves from the power which controls them, they voluntarily bow to the laws against which they have the right and the duty to rebel, because the laws are not given by God but concern His kingdom. There are not earthly measures enacted by earthly legislators which prevent people from recognizing the truth, but laws were enacted as sanctioned by God which prohibit a free search for truth insofar as people are obliged to believe in doctrines under threat of eternal punishments which, however, every thoughtful person would have to reject. This deprives people of their freedom of faith and thus also blocks the path to truth. People remain blind in spirit as long as they respect these laws, which is also made their duty. People are preached obedience to God, to His laws which, however, are not God’s laws and therefore God does not demand that obedience which lets people remain in spiritual darkness. For this reason He will again and again try to enlighten people and send bearers of truth into their path, and blessed is he who gives ear to them and sets himself free from those who want to make his will unfree. Blessed is he who seeks to give himself light …. it will become bright in him, the light of knowledge will shine for him, and he will be able to be a right guide for his fellow human beings who likewise carry the desire for truth within themselves and therefore come closer to God than those whose will is bound by blind guides ….

The right to teach …. holy office ….

B.D. 4855 from March 11th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You have been given a sacred office …. to teach people in My stead who willingly listen to you. This office is to be taken seriously, and therefore you cannot be reproached if you try to convey My teaching, which comes from above as purest truth, to your fellow human beings and confront them as opponents, yet not in a hostile way, but as My representatives you try to bring them peace, the pure teaching from Christ, which has to be heard by people if they want to become blessed. Hence you only carry out My will if you try to spread the truth, even if it earns you enmity, even if you are rejected and My teaching is ridiculed. You shall first fulfil My will before people’s will is taken into account, especially if people’s will is opposed to Mine. If people are in a defensive position you can do little. Nevertheless, every attempt is blessed by Me, after all, it makes the adversary think and can lead to success after a certain time. This office has been given to you and I know about every possibility of success for you …. I guide you along paths which may indeed seem unsuccessful to you, nevertheless you should allow yourselves to be guided without resistance, because often only a single soul sees a light flashing through you which breaks through its state of darkness, and this soul is eternally grateful for it. You have been given the office by Me Myself to administer, and therefore you are first entitled to teach as My representatives on earth. But anyone who has acquired a teaching ministry for himself without being appointed by Me may not dispute your right, after all, he does not possess part of the knowledge which is imparted to you from above, and therefore he is not really suitable for the teaching ministry either, he will not be able to give anything because he does not possess anything himself. And by the degree of knowledge you can test the ability of every individual for the teaching ministry and from this it already follows that whoever wants to teach has to be taught by Me Myself. It follows that such an office cannot be given by people but that I alone determine who is suitable for such an office. Therefore, don’t let yourselves be disturbed if you are attacked and your spiritual activity is to be prevented …. I protect My servants and help them, and he on whose side My help is will also feel this and neither be timid nor despondent. He will feel that it meets with My approval if he takes action against people’s ignorant and error-spreading teachers. No counter-speech will make him incapable of his office, for he knows that those are not only his opponents but also My opponents, and thus he also knows that I stand on the side of those who stand up for Me and My teaching, whom I teach Myself from above and whom I train for an office which I Myself have given them because I recognized their will from eternity ….

God's love and mercy then gives way to His justice ….

B.D. 4856 from March 11th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You are still in a time of grace and God’s mercy, there is still the possibility of salvation for you, God’s love and patience is still striving for your return to Him, He also still comes close to those who are strangers to Him and do not deserve His grace; every person can still become blessed if only he is of good will. Very soon, however, the gates to eternal life will be closed, i.e. the hour will soon have come when God’s love and mercy will give way to His justice, when people will no longer be able to make use of His gift of grace, when they will reap what they have sown during their earthly life and when there will be no opportunity to make up for what they have neglected, because those people will be wiped out from earth who cannot be counted as His own. Soon the hour of the last judgement will come when everything will be fulfilled as it is written, as it has been proclaimed by seers and prophets from the very beginning. The time of grace is only limited for a short time and yet it is also recognizable as a time of grace to everyone who has an open eye for everything that happens around him, who pays attention to how people relate to God and His kingdom, thus paying attention to the spiritual development of the human being during his life on earth. These will also see the emptiness of human hearts and, since they know about the effect of this, also consider the near end inevitable because they are in realization. And whether God also still forgives …. as soon as the time limit has expired, the end will inevitably come. Then the grace period is over and people will be called to account and rewarded or punished according to merit. So then justice takes the place of love and mercy, and yet this is not eliminated, for the last judgement is also an act of love and mercy with the fallen spiritual, which failed as a human being and for which the possibility must now be created again to rise from the depth to the height. The last judgement is also proof of God’s infinite love, Who does not want to lose His creatures forever, but always puts them in a position to approach Him in free will. And this love will never cease until the last spiritual being gives up its resistance against God and voluntarily submits to Him …. until it can now dwell in His presence and be unspeakably blissful ….

Amen

Directive to take action …. Final admonitions before the end ….

B.D. 4857 from March 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You must be ready to work for Me at any time if you feel My directive for it in your heart. And you will very clearly feel what you should do and won’t inwardly resist it because it will be your own inner urge to comply with My will. Although everything you are confronted with seems like a matter of course to you, it is nevertheless I Who is guiding you and instilling in you the feeling for your thoughts and actions, providing you are willing to serve Me and thus subordinate your will to Mine. Time flies by tremendously fast yet it will no longer result in a change of will; humanity keeps its face turned away from Me and towards material things, it continues to distance itself from Me increasingly more, it is seized by the opposing power and only a few can be stopped on the downward path, only a few will listen to the warning voice in the wilderness of their life …. For I will not leave people without warning so close to the end, I very often send people across their path who warn and admonish them, who point out the near end and beseech them to stop chasing after earthly possessions, who attempt to make them look up and announce the Judgment to them …. But who listens to them? Who still believes in a God to Whom they must answer, who still knows the actual purpose of earthly life, and who still believes in life after death? …. Their God is money, their purpose of life is material possession, and they think of death as a frightening, inevitable end of all life. And if they don’t listen to My messengers, their wasted life and utterly wrong will cannot be portrayed to them either, making a change of thinking impossible. However, the only other available means than the proclamation of My Gospel consists of extreme adversity …. but an adversity which will be announced to them in advance by My messengers, so that they will learn to believe if they are willing. And for that purpose I require you, My servants on earth, now and especially in the forthcoming time, because the great adversity will soon be followed by the end; because you are to inform people that they can expect the last Judgment, even if they don’t believe it …. Time and again they shall hear it until they pay attention to the signs of the time and take a near end into consideration, although they are not convinced of it. This is the task for which I have appointed you, so that you will speak wherever the opportunity presents itself, so that you will convey your knowledge to your fellow human beings, so that those of you who are informed of My plan of Salvation will attempt to announce to people the end of this earth period and explain to them that it is based on the spiritual low level. You must explain that to people since the time given to people for their redemption has come to an end, My love wants to start a new rescue mission …. and the soul of anyone who listens to you and takes your words to heart will emerge unharmed from all upheavals, it will be saved from the downfall on Judgment Day, because it will still grasp My lovingly extended hand just in time ….

Amen

Knowledge of plan of salvation from eternity …. right servants ….

B.D. 4858 from March 14th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

To be initiated into My plan of salvation from eternity is the privilege of those who want to work for Me and My kingdom. But this does not always mean that everyone is a servant of God who is regarded as such by people. And thus the knowledge which also includes the knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation is often not found there either. This knowledge will only be possessed by people who receive it from Me Myself as My appointed servants in order to now also be able to work successfully for Me and My kingdom. The way in which it is imparted to him depends on the mission he is given. He can receive it directly from Me but also through My messengers on earth, i.e. it can be conveyed to him through human mouths through which I Myself speak when the conditions are fulfilled which require working in My vineyard. A true ‘servant of God’ will also be instructed by Me Myself, and this instruction also includes the knowledge of the eternal plan of salvation, because only this makes a living advocacy of the truth to fellow human beings possible. What a person preaches has to be understood and justified by himself, if he is to work successfully for Me and My kingdom he first has to make himself credible to his fellow human beings as a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence; thus he has to have logical reasons for love as well as for wisdom and omnipotence which presuppose knowledge of everything that has a connection with Me, the creatures and the whole of creation. And therefore I instruct My servants Myself, yet only when they have attained a certain maturity of soul through a way of life according to My will, thus have become receptive to My instruction. This is why this knowledge cannot be received in a school-like manner, instead, this knowledge requires the awakening of the spirit in the human being, otherwise it can certainly be heard with the ears but not grasped with the heart. And by this again a true servant of God on earth can be recognized that his knowledge surpasses the knowledge received in school, thus it is, so to speak, additional knowledge which cannot be taught from outside but comes to the human being from within, even if it has been conveyed to him from outside. As long as it remains incomprehensible to a person that he rejects it, the spirit within him is not yet permitted to be active, it is still slumbering because it has not been brought to awakening through a way of life in love …. which is My will …. has not brought him to awakening. Until then, however, this person cannot instruct others either, since he does not know the most important thing himself, the reason for My working in the entire universe, the purpose and meaning of creation and the purpose and aim of earthly life as a human being …. My eternal plan of salvation, which underlies everything that exists and happens in the universe. The knowledge of My plan of salvation is the crowning glory, it is the evidence of an awakened spirit and also the evidence of the calling as My servant and worker for Me and My kingdom. Anyone who is called by Me as a servant of God will also possess this knowledge, he will gladly and joyfully accept it as truth if it is imparted to him from outside, because then it is I Myself Who gives him this knowledge as soon as I deem him suitable to work for Me. For the spirit in him now guides his thinking and feeling, and thus he is also able to judge, because at the same time as knowledge he also receives the ability to recognize, as well as he lives in accordance with My will …. thus, through loving activity, gives the spirit within itself the freedom to express itself. But then he will also be able to instruct his fellow human beings with inner conviction, and his speech will earn him success, he will win souls for the spiritual kingdom because his work is purely spiritual, as well as he is active on earth as My true servant …. He will bring souls to Me who believe, who did not hear him but Me, because My spirit speaks from everyone who voluntarily serves Me on earth ….

Amen

Teachings in compulsion …. love in free will …. (cath.!)

B.D. 4859 from March 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

I don’t want to give you a commandment, I only want to advice you what you should do for your soul. For even My teaching of love is not a commandment, because love has to be practiced of your own free will if it is to bring you success. A work of love also requires love in the human being’s heart; the work alone can be carried out purely mechanically and will then also be evaluated accordingly. I never say to you: you must, but always: you shall …. A compulsion is a law, the non-fulfilment of which entails punishment. But I will not punish you if you transgress the law of love, because this is indeed a law in itself, i.e. adapted to My eternal order, but I, as the law giver Who is love Itself, will not punish you since this contradicts My love. I can only warn you to live without love, thus I advice you to shape yourselves into love in order to be able to enjoy bliss, which you will never feel without love. However, what you obey as a commandment will not bring you bliss …. Thus I am also an opponent of all compulsion, since freedom is the right of the being which emerged from Me. Admittedly, I also use coercion in the stage of the being before the incarnation, yet this coercion arises from love which could not win you back in any other way, which cannot procure your freedom in any other way but through coercion …. but unconsciously. But in the human stage you are aware of every state of compulsion. If your free will is curtailed it violates My eternal order, since I have given you free will which you can and should use at your own discretion.

And now judge for yourselves who violates My eternal order …. judge by observing where compulsion determines people’s way of life. I cannot approve of coercion as a means of spiritual education, for no human being will strive to ascend under coercion. Therefore, where coercion is used for spiritual development you will be able to recognize anti-divine activity, and coercion is everywhere where a punishment is threatened or a reward is promised, for both are means of pressure which are intended to determine a person’s way of life. And coercion is everywhere where organizations are formed which seek to bind their members by measures, thus making them unfree in their thinking and acting …. (17.3.1950) Coercion is also present where people are not tolerated to acquire knowledge elsewhere, that is, where they freely research out of themselves and seek to arrive at the truth. Every lack of freedom of the human will is not in accordance with My will, for what the human being will one day have to answer for also presupposes his freedom of will. Wherever people are obliged to live their way of life, through commandments or threats of all kinds, it is not My will which is represented but the will of the one who is My adversary and therefore your enemy, even though My name is spoken. For countless false doctrines and countless offences against My will arise from the impersonation of the will. A person’s will may never be considered so infallibly right that thousands of people blindly follow it and don’t use their will themselves or are forced to think and act against their will. Even My pure teaching conveyed to you from above may not be forcibly conveyed to people but they should freely decide for or against it of their own accord, but how much less a teaching which is no longer as unspoilt as I Myself preached it on earth. People must always be granted the duty and also the right to examine and judge spiritual knowledge given to them by fellow human beings. And if the pure teaching is preached it should be done with love, and the inner conviction will then let the teacher find the right words to win over his fellow human being, yet all coercion should be refrained from. The person who is willing to believe and seeks Me also recognizes Me and can believe with conviction; then he will also practice love of his own accord, yet no longer out of duty but out of love for Me, in Whom he believes …. Compulsion kills love, and then every work of love is merely a mechanical exercise which cannot be valued by Me. You shall love …. because every ascent makes love a condition; yet you will not be forced, nor can you be forced to do so, because then love would not be love.… Consider this well and then realize what an error the spreading of My teaching of love is on the path of denominational regulations …. Everything the human being does to attain eternal life presupposes freedom of will, thus no commandment may be given to him whose fulfilment is enforced by promise of reward or threat of punishment …. He shall only be instructed about My commandment of love, which alone is significant and on the fulfilment of which eternal life depends ….

Grace ….

B.D. 4860 from March 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

I want to draw you to Me through My grace …. As a sign that I love you I want to reveal Myself through word and scripture and through My personal appearance where strong faith and profound love allow it; I want to give you evidence of the truth of My word, yet only when there is no longer any danger that this will mean compulsory faith for you. Therefore you must first believe what is announced to you through My word, you must recognize and acknowledge Me as the giver of the word so that I can now also speak to you and also visibly appear to you. I crown a strong faith with the evidence of My love …. But in order for you to gain this strong faith I shower you with grace by constantly stepping into your path, thus making it easy for you to recognize Me and now believe in Me. Everything that helps you to believe is grace, every experience, every twist of fate that lets you recognize My influence is grace, every indication of My existence, of My rule and activity in creation, and especially in My living creations, is grace. Grace is everything that testifies to Me …. And through grace I want to draw you to Me eternally. Only he who recognizes Me comes to Me voluntarily, and only he who comes to Me voluntarily do I accept …. And thus I seek to win you humans through My word, I want you to recognize Me in the word and come to Me, I want you to hear My call and follow it, and if you are inspired by the longing for Me I will come to meet you. I will even visibly approach you because the adversity of the time requires it, because you need a strengthening of faith if you are hard pressed by My adversary in the last days before the end. Then I will reveal Myself so that you will not become weak, for My adversary’s power is great and you are no match for it if I do not help you. But don’t be afraid, I will not let anyone go astray who has turned his gaze to Me …. And My strength is truly stronger than that of the enemy of your soul. It is only a short time until a fierce battle will be waged for your souls. And during this time the strongest means will be used by both sides. Every power wants to possess you; My adversary’s means are worldly promises, earthly goods and physical pleasures. But I will meet you Myself and My nearness will gladly make you renounce all worldly things. When I reveal Myself all earthly things lose their value, your soul feels the bliss of the spiritual kingdom and never ever wants to miss it. And therefore the body accepts every adversity and tribulation because the soul has sensed Me and now strives towards Me with an indomitable will. Then My flow of grace will flow ever more abundantly to strengthen the souls in their resistance against the enemy, and it will victoriously pass the last battle on earth, it will remain faithful to Me and persevere until the end. I will come in greatest adversity and distress and fetch it into My kingdom where all adversity is ended ….

Amen

God's voice can be heard everywhere …. The gravity of the time ….

B.D. 4861 from March 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You live in an extremely difficult time and are constantly made aware of it because it not only concerns the earthly development in the history of the world but humanity’s spiritual development, which you should recognise as being at risk in view of the near end. You have to admit to yourselves that extraordinary events direct your thoughts to spiritual problems; you also have to admit that the references to the last days match old prophesies regarding the end, and thus you must pay attention to them and be full of gratitude when thinking of the One Who is admonishing and warning you. You ought to take every reference seriously and look at all earthly happenings in relation with people’s process of development …. you ought to know that every occurrence is merely a means to induce the human being to work at improving his soul, so that he will voluntarily strive towards God …. This time is so grave because the consequence of a person’s life on earth is of utmost importance, since missed or wrongly used time on earth cannot be repeated and yet no-one can be spared the responsibility for it. But all admonitions and warnings are only possible such that they will not result in compulsory faith. They certainly point to the end, to the Creator and Preserver of all things, but they don’t prove anything, and therefore there are just a few people who recognise the approaching end by the signs and who, aware of the spiritual hardship, hand themselves over to God. Then they shall speak on behalf of God and His kingdom, they shall try to convey their assured faith to their fellow human beings, they shall at all times be in contact with their Father of eternity and accept the warnings and admonitions imparted to them in order to pass them on to those who are still distant from God.

He that hath eyes to see, let him see. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear …. God’s voice can be heard everywhere, His activity can be seen far and wide, and in all places people are mentally influenced from above …. Yet their will is free, and God will not forcibly influence anyone even if an extraordinary experience clearly reveals God’s activity. The time until the end gets ever shorter, the signs will increase, thereby facilitating everyone’s realisation and belief; and if a person is of good will he will not resist and close himself to these indications. For God’s grace takes effect in all places, the rays of the tiny lights which flare up everywhere can be persuasive if a person does not obscure them by not allowing himself to be affected by the rays …. And blessed is he who follows such a ray of light and need not spend the last days in darkness …. He will take the right path which will safely lead him to the goal, to God, his Father of eternity ….

Amen

Supply of the divine word – good or bad forces ….

B.D. 4862 from March 22nd 1950, taken from Book No. 55

The spiritual entities cannot express themselves to a human being in the form of the inner word as long as they don’t have the order from Me and the strength and also the light which is required for this. Immature entities can certainly influence a person’s thoughts as long as he makes himself susceptible to such thought transmissions through a God-opposing way of life. Likewise, these beings can take possession of a person’s will who voluntarily surrenders to them with the intention of establishing contact with the spiritual kingdom. However, these beings are never permitted to receive instructions from the spiritual kingdom which are to be assessed as divine emanations. And the transmission of My word to earth, which has to be received by a person in whom My spirit can work, always counts as such. I speak to people, and since not everyone can hear Me I make use of a human being in order to make My will known to others …. And the latter hears My voice in his heart …. sounding or mentally I convey My word to him as soon as he is able to hear My voice. And this ability presupposes that the human being’s heart has prepared itself for the reception of My spirit, thus of Myself, thus has made itself worthy. Is there a simpler explanation for a process which takes place through My will and in My will? You humans create the state of not being able to recognize the truth for yourselves if you believe to recognize immature forces in the working of good forces, for what emanates from Me and reaches you through those beings of light is light which spreads brightness. If you do not recognize this light, then your soul is still surrounded by a shell which does not let the light through. Therefore something must then cling to you which weakens your soul’s ability to recognize; there must be something in you which does not find My pleasure, which clouds your view and hands you yourselves over to the forces which confuse your thinking. Therefore examine yourselves before you judge and condemn, examine with the heart but not with the intellect alone, and do not be unbelieving but believing ….

Amen

Training of teachers directly or through light beings ….

B.D. 4863 from March 23rd 1950, taken from Book No. 55

In darkness a ray of light blinds the eye and prevents it from recognizing what surrounds the human being. And thus the spiritual flash of light is first a blinding light for the human being’s soul which makes all recognition impossible for it, for the soul is also still in darkness when the first ray of light touches it. Then it is impossible for it to understand spiritual knowledge immediately. And therefore it has to be slowly guided to brightness, it first has to come out of darkness into twilight, which then increases in brightness so that the soul’s eye can become accustomed to the images it is now allowed to take in. A person who suddenly receives profound wisdom cannot grasp it, and it will therefore never appear to him as wisdom but rather remain incomprehensible to him until he is slowly introduced to knowledge which can now be called true light. For this reason the human being also has to be taught from the bottom up, he has to be educated for deeper knowledge in such a way that he will always receive more and more wisdom, yet only when he is mature, i.e. receptive for it. And that is why only teachers who have mastered what they are to teach themselves are admitted to a teaching ministry, in order to strengthen the human being with light food until he can bear heavy food, until spiritual knowledge has become so comprehensible to him that he can now be active as a teacher himself. Therefore, if I want good teachers to be given to people, then I must first train these teachers and first impart the knowledge to them, which they should then pass on to their pupils. Thus I instruct them Myself or let them be instructed by first forces which, however, are only active on My behalf because I want to provide them with the bliss of a transmission of strength from Me, which therefore never ever do or teach anything other than My will and which they themselves carry within themselves as their own will. For understandably only such beings are admitted to teaching activity who are knowledgeable themselves, thus who have reached a high degree of maturity, because they are receivers of light and strength, thus they can also distribute light and strength. I know about people’s degree of maturity on earth, I know about their will, about the degree of desire for truth, I also know about the benefit of the gifts of grace which I impart to a person; thus I also watch over every individual person of good will that he will not be unlawfully bound by My adversary. And thus I will also not tolerate that a person devoted to Me falls into My adversary’s hands, I will not tolerate that a person’s will is inevitably alienated from Me, just as I will not tolerate that a person desiring the truth is wrongly instructed by forces which lack all knowledge. The lower spirits have their kingdom to themselves and are bound to it, i.e. they cannot freely move into areas where the light is and participate in the transmission of spiritual knowledge to people. For the beings of light recognize every spirit, and they know about everyone’s maturity and ability. They are also concerned about people on earth and their state of soul, and in their love they also grant the human being protection against all harassment by dark forces as soon as his thoughts and aspirations are turned towards the kingdom of light and he detests evil. The beings of light do not miss the slightest thing that could endanger earthly people, and thus they form a wall around the one who has professed Me through his way of life and is now to be introduced to higher knowledge by Me. And no lower power is allowed to intervene in order to impart error or to distract people from the pure truth. For Mine is the kingdom of light, just as I also rule over the kingdom of darkness …. The beings of light work in My will, and those who oppose My will I banish from My sight, but I also deny them access to those who strive towards Me and thus prove to Me through their will that they acknowledge Me as father ….

Amen

Peace of the soul ….

B.D. 4864 from March 26th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Give us the peace of the soul …. Let this be your constant prayer, for this peace contains everything in itself, faith, love, strength and light. Only the right faith can give you peace, and only in love can you find it, because both are not separately what they should be. But if you have peace within you, you are also in knowledge, that is, in light, and out of this certainty you are also full of strength. Those who lack inner peace are unconsciously not satisfied with what they possess, yet they feel the longing for a state of light which they still miss. Such a soul, when it is still weak in love, seeks compensation for the light it lacks and is easily blinded by deceptive light. It seeks peace and still obtains it unjustifiably because it has not yet fulfilled the basic condition …. the transformation of itself into love. It can certainly also find a peace in which it feels happy, yet it is more of an anaesthetic, produced by the human being’s intellect, but not the divine peace which lets the soul feel itself as the father’s child. The feeling of being secure in the father’s arms triggers a peace which is the most beautiful thing that can be striven for on earth. As soon as a person’s right relationship with God, with his creator and father of eternity, has been established, his life on earth will also be a peaceful one despite events which approach the person from outside in a threatening manner. For the right relationship also guarantees a right faith in the father’s help, and this firm confidence is already a sign of peace which makes the soul happy. These people are aware of God’s presence and therefore remain unaffected by everything that approaches them, even if it forces them to assert themselves earthly or to fight against their enemies. Man will not lose the peace of the soul. Divine forces are at his side to hold and support him if it seems earthly that he would have to succumb. The world can no longer take away the peace of the soul, for it is the result of the intimate union with God through prayer and activity of love, which has also brought him the recognition of truth, and therefore a person who is knowledgeable no longer fears danger because he recognizes it and can meet it with the right weapons. For he always knows that he is not fighting alone but with God, Who is constantly present to him ….

Amen

Intercourse with the spiritual world exceptional benefit ….

B.D. 4865 from March 27th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Purely spiritual contact with the world beyond is a privilege of the highest value for you humans who make use of it. And therefore you can only gain, you will not be pulled down but constantly ascend. But pure spiritual intercourse presupposes an attitude towards God and towards faith in general, it presupposes a deep inner desire for truth and also a good will, otherwise negative successes will be recorded, an intercourse which has to be warned against. In order to understand correctly you first have to know that the supply of truth to the ignorant, be it on earth or in the beyond, is the actual activity of the knowing beings; that it signifies the activity of love for them in which they find their happiness. Every being of light is entrusted with people on earth whose thoughts they try to guide into the right direction. Hence the mental transmission of truth and the receiving or taking in of thoughts is the constant communication between earth and the spiritual world, which is only not mentioned because thinking seems self-evident to a person and he does not try to clarify the origin of the thoughts. It is a self-evident process which therefore receives little attention. But if the human being is consciously willing to enter into contact with that world, then the beings of light gladly seize the opportunity to manifestly express themselves and to a certain extent to offer people the truth by way of regulated instructions. And this conscious reception of spiritual knowledge is extremely beneficial for the soul’s upward development. A person who desires truth is now protected by the beings of light against the activation of lower spiritual forces which are not able to impart truth but constantly want to express themselves and therefore impart error to those who are willing to receive it through their same lower maturity of soul. The human being himself determines the forces which want to mentally communicate with him, and therefore mediations from the spiritual kingdom, if they are consciously striven for, will often produce different results, which, however, does not exclude that spiritual strivers can gain unspeakably much through a connection with the spiritual world. Again, free will is decisive under whose influence he places himself. Whoever strives towards God in his thinking and willing will also be seized by God and given into the care of the beings of light, who can never have a harmful effect on the human being. He who still belongs to the world is not concerned with recognizing the truth but shuns it because it condemns his way of life. This is a welcome object for the expression of immature spiritual beings who, in the same desire for matter, seek to transfer their wishes to it and also find willing listeners. How the spiritual beings, the inhabitants of the kingdom of light or the beings of darkness, are induced to express themselves is again up to the human being’s will, but it can happen in the simplest form, in the mental connection with the spiritual world, from which the answer also comes again in the form of thoughts. Only the ignorant human being uses material aids for this, which therefore also achieve certain successes because the beings of the spiritual kingdom use every opportunity to make contact with people in order to inform them that they are close to the human being and want to have contact with them. And therefore it is certainly advisable for the completely unbelieving to acquire knowledge; but it is also advisable to use the knowledge gained such that intimate mental contact is established with the inhabitants of the spiritual world, which will never remain without beneficial success if the human being is of serious and good will ….

God's revelation ….

B.D. 4866 from March 26th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Open your hearts to the voice of the One Who wants to speak to you and know that He merely avails Himself of a human being because He cannot reveal Himself to you directly. Yet also accept that His Word is addressed to you; after all, it intends to benefit all of you: I Am with you in spirit always, even unto the end of the world …. And thus you will always be able to hear the voice of My spirit if you believe these Words of Mine and through your faith are also convinced that I communicate with you. Hence you need to listen within in order to be able to hear My voice, and this requires seclusion, retreating within yourselves, a private dialogue with Me in solitude. But which one of you is making provisions in order to hear Me? Whose faith is so strong that he is conscious of My presence and, if he speaks to Me in the silence of his heart, also expects an answer? Behold, those of you who call yourselves devout don’t do the latter, and thus you doubt the fact that I reveal Myself, consequently you cannot hear Me either, because all doubt renders the hearing of My voice impossible. Only a few people listen within with childlike faith, thus I can reveal Myself to them and inform them of that which you should all know about Me and My will ….

However, most people walk past these few, they don’t recognise the Father’s voice to his children, they take little interest in the proclamations coming to them from above; but they allow themselves even less to be stimulated into eagerly following an example of the consequences of faith and love in order to experience the great mystery of divine love, for every revelation is a disclosure of My Nature, of My reign and activity and My greater than great love. And therefore I cannot come closer to people, they cannot sense My proximity for they don’t recognise Me. The Words ‘I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world’ mean nothing to them, they don’t understand their meaning, they don’t know the significance of My presence and the delectable gift which is the result of My presence. They don’t understand My Words and won’t even learn to understand them through evident proof. I reveal Myself to those people to whom I Am present if they want to hear Me. The eternal Deity draws Itself towards Its living creations and lets Its strength flow into them in the form of Words …. I Am the Word Myself, therefore My presence must also be obvious through the Word, through its transmission. And thus you humans have the evidence that I exist, for I descend to you humans in My Word. Understand this and don’t pass by if I cross your path in the form of My Word. Accept it as absolute truth which is still unspoiled because it originates from Me directly, because My Word is the clear living water which flows from the Source so that you can refresh yourselves in order to successfully travel the pilgrim’s path on this earth, in order to reach the goal which shall be the culmination of your earthly life …. in order to draw near to Me and become what you were in the beginning, children of My love who can create and shape and be inconceivably happy ….

No one can serve two masters ….

B.D. 4867 from March 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

He who can give up everything will also gain everything. You cannot serve two masters, the world and Me at the same time, but you must give up one if you want to win the other. Thus you must sacrifice the world if you want to gain Me, but then you will receive more than the earthly world, for the kingdom, which is My share, is incomparably more beautiful than the world you gave up for My sake. But if you want to possess the world then you cannot possess Me at the same time, for I am not to be found there, and those who seek Me must do so outside the earthly world. You will truly not lose much if you give up the world for My sake, for I will compensate you for the loss a thousand fold and you will never regret it once you have gained Me. My kingdom is not of this world, therefore you should not attach your heart to that which is worthless, and you must make an effort to be accepted into that land and learn to despise the earthly world. You must free yourselves from all earthly possessions, from all desire for them, and only strive for that which is eternal, which belongs to Me and therefore must be extremely valuable. Leave behind what belongs to earth and strive towards My kingdom …. turn your eyes heavenwards and you will see more than earth can ever offer you. Learn to overcome the world if you want to possess Me, and decide what is of greater value to you …. but decide for what is right, for it concerns your fate after death, it concerns eternal life ….

Neighbourly love ….

B.D. 4868 from March 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

What you do to the least of My brothers, you do unto Me, and thereby you demonstrate your love for Me and for your neighbour. For a deed of neighbourly love also testifies to your love for Me and will enrich you far more than you have given up. And who is your neighbour? Every needy human being who approaches you with a request for help is your neighbour, regardless of whether he voices it or whether it remains unspoken. For you will recognise yourselves when your help is needed and appropriate as soon as the spark of love in you flares up and you are affected by your fellow human being’s adversity. Yet you can live in abundance and accomplish a deed of neighbourly love without sacrificing anything, but it will not be regarded as such if you lack love, if you help in order to dispose of an irritating petitioner or to shine before your fellow human beings. So many motives can prompt a person to render help, yet I only value a deed of merciful neighbourly love impelled by your heart. And you will experience the fact that, when love grows cold in people’s hearts, help for other people will only occur due to organisation and deeds of love will effectively become routine, which certainly can alleviate people’s adversity but which cannot be classed as deeds of neighbourly love, as the fulfilment of My commandment of love, and which therefore cannot have any redeeming effect either. The right hand should not know what the left hand is doing …. it should be a quiet giving; yet material gifts alone cannot be described as deeds of neighbourly love. Every other help, every kind look and every caring word can be valued as a deed of love if it comes from the heart. People’s spiritual and psychological adversity is often even greater than their earthly adversity, there you should actively help by giving encouragement and comfort in suffering, by lifting people up spiritually, by conveying My Word and leading them back to faith, where it is necessary. All this is part of the commandment of neighbourly love, and I only expect a soft and compassionate heart for you to be able to fulfil My commandment of love for Me and your neighbour and also awaken love in your neighbour’s heart, who thereby can be guided on the right path and you will have acquired a double reward. However, you should not help for the sake of reward but only for love of Me, then all your deeds will be blessed ….

Amen

The working of the spirit …. Spiritual rebirth ….

B.D. 4869 from March 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Let My spirit take effect in you and you will know the truth, for the working of the spirit will guarantee you such. Then I Myself will guide your thoughts correctly, I will inspire you with the right thoughts, I will pour out My spirit upon you. It need not always be an obvious, that is, an extraordinary activity like the direct transmission of My Word from above; instead, the working of the spirit can also take place in a completely natural manner, providing a person fulfils the condition I have linked to My working in the human being …. He need only want what is right and live as is pleasing to Me, i.e., he need only fulfil My will which manifests itself in actions of love, then his spirit will already be awakened and this spirit within the person, being in contact with Me, will teach the latter such that he will think correctly, that he will know the truth and will therefore also be able to recognise and endorse what is right. He will also be entirely convinced of thinking correctly, but he will ascribe this ability to himself and not to My working in him until My servants enlighten him about the working of the spirit in the human being. He will indeed understand this, but only when I Myself can take effect in him through the spirit, otherwise he will reject such teaching as implausible. Once My spirit can be active in a person he will also have been won over for the eternal kingdom, for this is already an act of spiritual rebirth, an act of redemption from the constrained state …. Then the spirit will guide the person and, without doubt, lead him towards the goal, towards eternal life. If a person therefore consciously strives towards Me, if he firmly believes in Me, if he lives a life of love and pays attention to his inner feelings, his thoughts and his constantly growing knowledge, often without any external influence, he can therefore also assuredly assume that his spirit has awakened to life and that a descent into the abyss need no longer be feared. Then his thoughts will concur with the Word from above with which I would like to prepare all people for this process, so that they will have a direct connection to their eternal Father, so that they will receive the knowledge about My reign and activity in the universe, so that they will learn to love Me as their Creator and Father and thus establish contact with Me so that I can convey the truth to them through which they will become blessed ….

Seers and prophets of the end time …. little understanding ….

B.D. 4870 from March 30th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

There is little understanding to be found for the pure truth imparted from above, and people do not recognize the value of the divine word. They are touched by a ray of light and flee back into the darkness again because they are not comfortable with the shine. They are without desire for the truth, they do not believe in its continuation and therefore only live for this earth. And during this time seers and prophets are awakened who are to come before people as admonishers and warners and announce to them the downfall of the earth. They will find little faith and yet they shall repeatedly let their voice be heard, they shall speak to everyone about the forthcoming judgment, about the urgency of a change in people’s attitude and way of life, they shall speak of God’s love and mercy but also of His justice so that their sense of responsibility will be awakened and they will wake up from their sleep. The seers and prophets will not be accepted in their own country, for no one wants to hear them, and they will be attacked by the representatives of the world. And these are phenomena of the last time before the end, to which reference is made again and again. People are still being admonished to repent, but as the number of God’s chosen servants and seers increases, the end is near and the time of grace has passed. Then what has been foretold will come to pass …. The unbelievers will be alarmed, the doubters will be perplexed and the believers will rejoice because they will experience a visible strengthening of their faith when they realize that everything predicted about the end is true. But then it will be too late for the unbelievers to turn back, for when the day of judgment has come none of them will be able to grasp a thought, for the earth will open up and swallow up everything. But one thing will protect people from destruction: the pure word of God, which He Himself has conveyed to earth …. Anyone who senses its strength will not be frightened by the last days, for anyone to whom God speaks will also emerge unscathed from all events due to His love and power. Whoever receives the word of God with heart and mind is immune to all harm of the last days, he stands in the light, in a light that no one can extinguish. And the light will break through the darkness and again and again send rays into the darkness and seek the last souls so that they will not get lost. Anyone who allows himself to be illuminated by such a ray of light will also feel the truth in his strength and now consciously expect the end …. And the lord will come in the clouds, He will gather His own and fetch them to Himself from the earth before it is destroyed by His will and the grave of all those who did not recognize God and therefore strayed from Him, who lived without faith; and the earth will swallow them up, and all distress on earth will come to an end ….

Union with God – The human being's goal ….

B.D. 4871 from March 31th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Your goal shall be the union with Me …. Do you know what it means to be as one with your Father of eternity? Being able to create and shape like Him in strength and wisdom and being able to constantly work for the still imperfect spirits? And to be eternally happy?

Your past life will appear like a bad dream to you which, however, will no longer frighten you but only let you realise the Creator’s love for His living creations, which guided you through infinitely many stages of maturing. And in the realisation of what you are now in the kingdom of light, you will look up to Me full of gratitude and love, Who is close to you now and bestows upon you beatitudes without measure.

To be united with Me means to be perfect, just like you were in the beginning before you became sinful. To attain this perfection is the highest goal of the human being on earth, because it is a prerequisite for a blissful life in the light. And the only means to achieve it is love, which consumes everything imperfect and shapes a light-receptive and divine soul which will be able to accept My emanation and, once it is touched by it, will feel indescribable bliss. The transfer of My love onto the being is the epitome of blissfulness and thus a prerogative of the perfect being which is no longer separated from Me but has fully united with Me.

The transfer of strength, however, includes everything else …. realisation of truth, light and strength, so that the being will therefore move within wisdom and use the inflowing strength correctly, that it thus, in accordance with God’s will, will be able to create and give life to what it has created. Hence the being comes into all rights of childship, it knows no boundary, it knows everything, and its strength enables it to work in accordance with My will, which now is its own will, so that every activity will delight the being because it works for Me and finds rich reward in My love. The being yearns for My love and I constantly fulfil its yearning, and its happiness knows no bounds.

The union with Me can only be achieved through love, since love is the most effective fire which melts all hardness, purifies everything impure and clarifies all ambiguity …. love is the agent which releases and bonds at the same time …. It releases the pressure of oppression, the shackle of sin, and it forms the bond between the living creation and Me, which remains insoluble for all eternity …. And once a person has formed the bond with Me he will remain connected to Me, for as soon as My strength of love has flowed through him he inevitably becomes My possession which I will never abandon to My adversary. Anyone who succeeds in detaching himself from My adversary has already become My Own and proved himself as My child and is now always able to be constantly in the vicinity of the Father, Who will never banish it from His presence again ….

B.D. 4872 from April 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You should pray in spirit and in truth. This requires true belief in Me Whom you call upon in prayer and Who is to help you. Hence you must believe that I exist, that I have the power to help and My love wants to help you. This strong faith will also let you find the right words or thoughts to make contact with Me. Then you will speak to Me from your heart, it will not be an empty prayer but the right kind of communication with Me, for you entrust your worries and problems to Me and expect My reply in form of an action, thus you rely on Me to grant your prayer. If you have established this state of trust in My help you cannot pray other than in spirit and in truth and I will answer your prayer …. But how can a person pray in spirit and in truth if he uses acquired words, if he, together with other people, performs long prayers which neither testify to devotion nor depth of feeling because the heart does not know what is voiced by the mouth? How can you humans expect Me to take pleasure in a prayer which is everything else but a trusting call of a child to the Father? Your prayer should be as simple and plain like the words of a child so that I can be present with you and you experience My grace.

Anyone who speaks to Me in that way is heard by Me and I will grant his prayer because I have promised you: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. But lip worship is not pleasing to Me, for I only look into the heart, which no-one can conceal from Me. I will bypass a silent heart and neither My love nor My omnipotence will provide the person with proof that I have heard him. I turn away from those who constantly pray but whose thoughts are not even partially involved in what they express with their mouths. For all those who pray like this do not recognise Me as yet, because the true recognition of Me Myself will let them become silent and reverent, whereas profound humility utters heartfelt words which I understand perfectly because they are spoken by the heart, which at all times establishes contact with Me and which will always draw Me close. Prayers in spirit and in truth only seldom rise up to Me, and therefore I can only seldom grant a prayer although there are very many praying people on Earth suffering adversity. Yet My true children pray within their heart and will therefore always be successful, for true faith guarantees the granting of their prayers since I will never disappoint true faith ….

Amen

God reveals Himself mentally to serious seekers ….

B.D. 4873 from April 3rd 1950, taken from Book No. 55

The path of salvation is taken by all those who once seriously immerse themselves in their innermost being and thereby consult Me, who in faith in Me questioningly request My assistance, who thus seriously seek the truth …. I reveal Myself to them and enlighten their thinking, i.e. they mentally come closer to the truth and find satisfaction in their mental results which they initially consider to be self-obtained. An earnest seeker finds the right path, he cannot go astray because I Myself approach him as a guide and direct his steps in the right direction. Although he does not yet recognize Me he nevertheless accepts My guidance, i.e. he does not oppose the mental influences even though he does not yet know the origin of the thoughts. His will is not directed against Me but he adapts himself to Mine. A conscious striving upwards can be observed as soon as the human being inwardly makes an effort to create order in his thoughts …. I now test every person as to whether his striving is serious, because his will should retain freedom, because he has to use it in the right direction in order to be able to enjoy My constant care, in order to be guided by Me into the realization of Myself. Everyone will have to pass these tests of faith before the pure truth is conveyed to him mentally or through mediators whom My love guides into his path. For the human being has to acquire the truth, it is not given to him as a matter of course, although it is offered to all people so that they will do everything themselves to be able to receive it. Truth is an extraordinary gift of grace which, however, everyone can acquire if only he seriously wants it, and he has to demonstrate his serious will by passing these tests of faith. But then he can be certain that he has taken the right path, the path of salvation, i.e. that he will very soon recognize his purpose of earthly life and adjust his way of life accordingly, that he will therefore reach the aim which is set for him as a human being, because his will subordinates itself to Mine, thus he wants the same himself and thereby comes close to Me, as is his destiny ….

Amen

Spiritual guides ….

B.D. 4874 from April 5th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

I Myself appoint those people as spiritual leaders who are suitable for it. All people can certainly shape themselves such that they are chosen by Me as suitable for spiritual guidance, yet no person can ever elevate himself to this position. Thus My words are to be understood: “Many are called but few are chosen…” All of you can shape yourselves through your will into servants devoted to Me, to whom I assign a task. So you are all called …. But the call to service then already presupposes a degree of maturity, for you can only serve Me if you are able to carry out the work I require of you. My servants on earth, however, have to work for My kingdom which is not of this world. They must enlighten the erring, guide the blind, support the weak and always act as mediators of their ministry …. Receive My will and announce it to their fellow human beings. These are the right spiritual leaders, and their office understandably also requires a mastery of everything they are to teach, thus it requires spiritual training which they, in turn, can only receive from Me Myself in a certain degree of maturity. And therefore I choose My servants Myself, for you humans lack the ability to recognize who is suitable for such a task which only results in purely spiritual success and is therefore little understood by the world. Therefore, only people who accept My instructions from Me directly, i.e. who do not feel bound by knowledge which was previously imparted to them through human mouths, can be considered as spiritual guides. They must establish the connection with Me in fullest freedom and thus unconditionally hand themselves over to My will and My guidance. These are the ones who have recognized their calling and want to let themselves be chosen by Me Myself, since they feel that only I can be addressed as the client. They want to serve Me and ask Me for My approval …. But spiritual leaders also call themselves people who have not waited for their calling to serve Me but who call themselves to a teaching ministry on earth, who therefore also want to work for the kingdom of God and certainly have the best will to do so, yet without My special calling they have entered into a ministry which is for people’s spiritual benefit. I place certain conditions on such service; if they are fulfilled then I also accept them as My servants, yet this always requires an unconditional surrender to Me, an opening of the heart to receive My instruction, without which no-one can be active for Me on earth. Every service for Me and My kingdom presupposes the working of My spirit in the human being, for only he who is guided by My spirit himself can take over spiritual guidance. Without the working of the spirit no guidance of the blind is possible. And this should give everyone food for thought so that they recognize who, as a spiritual leader, has been commissioned by Me to work for Me and My kingdom. The working of the spirit in the human being is not a gift I give to those who want to work for Me, but only he can enter My service who has shaped himself so that My spirit can work in him. And thus the words will also be understandable: “Many are called ….” for everyone can shape himself in this way …. “but only a few are chosen ….” Only a few allow the working of the spirit within themselves, but this is the first condition for being chosen by Me for an office on earth: to be a spiritual guide for people. But anyone who is filled by My spirit can distinguish error from truth, and he frees himself from a teaching which is full of contradictions, which therefore did not originate from Me as it is currently preached. He stands in the truth and also represents it, he can enlighten the erring, guide the blind, support the weak and constantly convey My word, My will, to them, because he is in direct contact with Me …. because My spirit is working in him, because I have chosen him as a servant to work for Me and My kingdom ….

Amen

Spiritual turning point is not a reversal but renewed banishment ….

B.D. 4875 from April 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Development for the better is no longer possible on this earth, people will not even remain on the same level but descend constantly, they live beyond all bounds and distance themselves from Me to such an extent that they live their earthly life entirely without strength, hence it is totally pointless. And therefore a substantial change is intended to put an end to humanity’s spiritual decline and to pave a new path which will lead to an ascent again. You humans are unaware of My plan of Salvation apart from the few to whom I reveal Myself. But you would be able to take notice of it were you at all interested in the issue as to what forms the basis of all events around you. Yet your questions are different, the questions you are concerned with only relate to earthly advantages, to ways and means of procuring a wealth of earthly goods. You only increase your knowledge in this field and ignore all spiritual matters. But therefore you will also be taken by surprise by the forthcoming events and will be unable to find an explanation if you intellectually search for it. However, the knowledge of My plan of Salvation would explain everything to you, the knowledge of My eternal plan of Salvation would let you look at everything from a different perspective, and it would awaken your sense of responsibility because your soul’s fate after death is determined by your way of life. Then a small improvement could still be achieved, although only a few will take the explanation seriously which is offered to them by knowledgeable people. And therefore I will bring one period of development to a conclusion and let a new one begin.

This should certainly be looked upon as a spiritual turning point yet not as a reversal or a sudden advancement of the souls’ development, instead it is far more a total failure on the one hand and the creation of new possibilities for development on the other. For that which failed during the old period of development will start its process of development again in the deepest abyss; hence it will not continue an interrupted process of purification. This is why the time before the end of this epoch is so extremely significant since it will, after all, shape the fate of countless souls as to whether they live or die. A continued existence of this earth would by no means benefit these souls, because they severed the bond with Me long ago, thus they are entirely without faith and in this state will not make use of the blessings either which could ensure their spiritual progress. Until the end every effort will still be made to save the individual souls, that is, to draw their attention to their purpose, yet they cannot be supported against their will and this will only strives to descend, it only applies to matter which shelters the lowest developed spiritual substances. And I always take the soul’s will into account, it shall receive what it desires …. and therefore hard matter will become the external cover of that which had already reached the last stage of development on earth …. the souls of the furthest distanced living creations will be banished again in the creations of the new earth. And time and again this dreadful fate shall be presented to people, time and again they shall be given the information of My eternal plan of Salvation, because it is the time of the end when every person should become aware of the great responsibility he bears for his soul, because he can still use the last days for the salvation of his soul if he has the will to do so. He should know that an end will come and what this end means for his soul, he should know that there will be no postponement but that it will come true what seers and prophets have announced since the beginning of this epoch of Salvation, that the end will come without fail and with it the last Judgment, which will decide over life and death, over light and darkness, over reward and punishment …. over hell and damnation and paradise and beatitude ….

Amen
