Resurrection …. (Easter Sunday)
B.D. 5093 from March 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
He overcame death, He rose from the dead on the third day, as He foretold to His disciples, and all prophecies were fulfilled …. the world was redeemed …. He broke the power of death, by which it is to be understood that He gained victory over hell, victory over satan, who had placed people in a state of death through his influence, who had caused the death of the spiritual substance in the first place, which could not bring itself to life through its own strength because satan kept it bound. And the man Jesus broke this power and was able to break it because He united with His father of eternity during His earthly life and thus took up the battle with satan with His strength, but He acquired the strength because He was full of love and thereby became a recipient of strength from God. As a human being He gave people the proof that it was possible to free themselves from satan’s chains if they, like Him, walked the path of love, which brought them into possession of strength from God which makes everything possible, including liberation from the prince of hell.
Jesus Christ was risen from the dead …. He gloriously emerged from the grave and entered into the midst of His own …. He certainly had to suffer earthly death beforehand because this was the crown of His work of redemption, because He wanted to offer God the sacrifice of atonement for the sins of men. The human being Jesus died, yet the transfigured spirit rose again from the grave and appeared visibly to His own in order to strengthen their faith …. The process which takes place in every human being whose soul has spiritualized itself through love, so that the physical shell falls, took place visibly in Him …. The soul arises to eternal life …. The soul cannot die, it can only still be in the power of God’s adversary, then its state cannot be called life but it is still in the night of death, yet through its own fault. For the redeemer Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself for all people and acquired eternal life for them. And thus all people can also claim the graces of the act of salvation for themselves. If they do not do so by not acknowledging Him as God’s son and redeemer of the world and appeal to Him for His help, then they are still in bondage to God’s adversary and death has not yet been overcome for them. He showed Himself to His disciples, they saw Him because He presented Himself to them in a visible way. They and all those who were allowed to see Him had the maturity to be able to behold spiritual light, otherwise they would have passed away at the sight of Him …. He took His body with Him …. His soul could certainly have shown itself to His own in a recognizable way, but then people would never have believed Jesus’ resurrection, which He promised to those who live according to His teaching. The resurrection of the soul was certainly meant, but as a sign of the truth of His words His body also rose from the dead, and this was all the more self-evident because His body had also spiritualized itself and no longer required further development on earth …. Body, soul and spirit had united and turned to God the father, and therefore He was also able to visibly ascend to heaven in all glory and thus give a last testimony of His divinity, a testimony that He has overcome death and gives eternal life to the one who believes in Him and follows Him through a life on earth in love …. For even this one will rise to eternal life, he will not taste death for eternity, because Jesus Christ has overcome death ….
Amen

Spiritual wealth …. "receive and eat …." work in the hereafter ….
B.D. 5094 from March 26th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Receiving the messages from the spiritual kingdom means immeasurable wealth if they originate from Me, the original source of all knowledge which corresponds to truth. For these gifts impart knowledge to you humans which is the basis for eternal beatitude; they provide you with wealth with which you can work on earth already and after your physical death in the spiritual kingdom. They are spiritual treasures whose value you will only assess once you have discarded all earthly things and find yourselves in a completely different kingdom than this earth is for you, where everything material is switched off and only spiritual work and creation takes place, where you need completely different treasures in order to be able to live a right life, and where these spiritual treasures will make you infinitely happy, for they alone guarantee you a life in eternity. They alone make you able to be active according to My will. And therefore I want to make the spiritual treasures accessible to you already on earth, I want you to collect them as long as you are on earth and acquire wealth which makes you the most blissful citizens of the spiritual world, as it has been your destiny since eternity. For this reason, however, I will not only distribute spiritual treasures to you but to all people and make your increased knowledge dependent on how you utilize the little knowledge, I will give to you so that you will pass on the gifts and then also receive all the more yourselves …. I want to convey the truth to humanity from above so that it will be received unadulterated and be a blessing for it. The fact that people themselves repeatedly distort it shall not prevent Me from always conveying it to earth in all purity, and its recipients will always have a great treasure at their disposal which they shall distribute to their fellow human beings, just as I have done with the words: “Receive and eat …. take and drink …. do this in remembrance of Me ….” You shall receive and distribute what My love offers you from above, My word, which you cannot measure in its value. Then you will already work on earth according to your former purpose, then you will increase your spiritual wealth many times over, and when you die you will be able to look back on a blessed earthly life, after all, you will have gathered spiritual treasures which you will take with you into eternity. As long as you stay on earth you are not fully aware of the value of spiritual gifts, nevertheless, you should believe what I tell you and eagerly strive to increase their possessions, and you will not be disappointed but realize that their value exceeds everything earth could ever offer you and that you gladly leave all earthly things behind for the sake of the spiritual possessions which await you on the other side and make you eternally happy. My word shall suffice you to believe that otherwise My gifts cannot be given to you to the extent that a profound faith guarantees. Therefore, acquire spiritual goods for as long as you are on earth so that you will enter the spiritual kingdom richly blessed when your earthly life is over ….
Amen

Preaching the gospel …. listener – doer …. doctrine of love ….
B.D. 5095 from March 29th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Proclaim My gospel to people and if they accept it all adversity will be remedied. However, they must not only be listeners but also doers of My word if it is to take effect on them and help them achieve peace of mind. But to be doers of My word means to live in love, to carry out works of unselfish neighbourly love, to overcome selfish love and thus change your nature so that it becomes pure love, as it was in the beginning …. Thus you lack love if you are in spiritual and earthly adversity, for then I will let the latter come over you Myself so that you will look within yourselves and also recognize your spiritual adversity. And thus proclaiming My gospel means conveying My teaching of love to fellow human beings and pointing out to them how extremely important a life of love is as long as the human being lives on earth. You will achieve everything with it, knowledge and strength already on earth and one day an eternal life in beatitude. My teaching of love is indeed known amongst people but it is not or only rarely followed. And therefore its effects cannot be recognized either, and the soul is in greatest distress because it sinks into the night of death when the human being ends his earthly life. As long as the human being lives, life after death does not cause him any concern. Nevertheless, he must already prepare himself on earth if he wants to awaken to eternal life, for earthly life was given to him for this purpose. Without love, however, his soul is already dead on earth, it lacks light and the constant darkness is equal to lack of knowledge. But light, i.e. knowledge about the eternal truth, comes forth from love. So how are people supposed to receive truth or recognize it as truth if they lack all ability to do so because they live without love …. Therefore teach them first that they should practice love, teach them that they must fulfil My commandments, teach them that they can only become blissfully happy through love, that only love opens up the knowledge of truth to them and that they can never come to Me if they don’t shape themselves into love …. teach them that it is about the salvation of the souls and not about the well-being of the body and that only love helps the soul to ascend …. Then you will be active on My behalf as proclaimers of truth, and you will then work in a redeeming way if you yourselves exemplify a life of love to them and they can experience the truth of the divine teaching of love and its effect in you. You are unlimitedly empowered to introduce your fellow human beings to the knowledge which has its origin in Me, yet their capacity for this knowledge entirely depends on their way of life, for only love gives brightness of spirit …. thus only a loving person will have the understanding for the wisdom from above, which is why you should preach love to them first in order to then also be able to introduce them to higher wisdom, so that they will emerge from the state of ignorance into knowledge which will make them happy and let them strive for ever deeper knowledge. Love is the key to wisdom, wisdom is light that makes blessed. This is why the human being can only attain beatitude through love, whereas a life without love is a state of spiritual hardship which the soul only becomes aware of when it has to leave the earthly shell.
Carry My gospel out into the world …. Spread My teaching of love and exhort people to practice unselfish neighbourly love; then you will contribute immeasurably to the salvation of erring souls, then you will be My true disciples who are active on My behalf on earth in the last time before the end ….
Amen

Flashes of rays of light in the afterlife …. spiritual hunger ….
B.D. 5096 from March 30th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Spiritual hunger is often very great in the beings in the spiritual kingdom, especially when they are in dark surroundings and have noticed a relief of their state for brief moments through flashes of light rays. Then they long for light, then a desire is awakened in them which they can only fulfil by attending a circle where ignorant beings are instructed, since such instructions also signify an imparting of strength for the listeners as soon as they are accepted with an earnest will. The desire for such instructions will now constantly increase, and such spiritual hunger is evident to every being of light and will never remain unsatisfied. And thus continuous instructions can also take place in the beyond but they will always coincide with those conducted to earth, because here as there only pure truth is imparted where the beings desire light. Darkness will always oppress the beings and light will always trigger a feeling of well-being in them; yet the light must always be desired. This applies to people on earth as well as to the beings in the kingdom of the beyond, and the state of the beings on earth and also in the spiritual kingdom is accordingly. A soul which has already sought truth on earth will also desire truth in the beyond, and such can also be imparted to it, and according to its wealth of light it can also increase it itself, because it can give such to poor souls which still lack realization. And thus, anyone who has acquired spiritual knowledge on earth will not hesitate for long in the spiritual kingdom but also impart his knowledge to other souls which arrive in the beyond less rich. He will instruct them, and always in the same way as he himself was instructed …. And all who want to escape the darkness, who long for the light and are therefore guided by God to where they will be cared for by the messengers of light according to their degree of maturity, by those who already have knowledge and feel the benefit of spiritual wealth, will take part in these instructions. Every connection from earth with the spiritual kingdom also has an indescribably stimulating effect in the beyond, for the beings of darkness see the flashing of rays of light and they strive towards their exit and seek to join the circle from which the ray of light originates. Access is never denied to them as long as they want to receive themselves, yet overzealous people then want to instruct others before they have the necessary knowledge themselves, which they, however, also acquire as soon as they only have the serious will to acquire spiritual wealth. All will be considered according to their will, and thus every soul can expose itself to the radiation of light until it is completely permeated by light …. i.e., the gospel will also be proclaimed to every soul in the spiritual kingdom …. Anyone who accepts it inevitably attains beatitude, light, eternal life ….
Amen

Justice of God …. long-suffering – mercy ….
B.D. 5097 from March 31th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
I am a God of justice and yet exceedingly long-suffering and merciful. I still forgive before I carry out the threatened judgment because I still want to give all people the opportunity to recognize their wrongdoing, to repent of it and make amends, so that My justice is satisfied and I can only give My love to My creatures. But once My long-suffering and mercy recedes, and then I irrevocably hold court to settle the good and the evil, and then I give free rein to My justice and reward or punish each one according to merit and deed. One day is the day of retribution, otherwise I would not be Who I am, for no human being on earth can sin with impunity, but just as all goodness is rewarded because I love My living creations. Hence love does not exclude My justice, and the last judgment on this earth is also an act of mercy because a complete sinking into the abyss is stopped, even though the being is considered such that it can one day reach the height for the purpose of which people are on earth. My justice has to triumph, otherwise I would confess to work against what is right and thus approve of evil or would have to leave it without punishment. My justice is so often doubted if My long-suffering and mercy are not immediately imposed on people, but this must and will happen one day. For My justice must be satisfied. And that is why I keep postponing the day that is supposed to bring the balance. My long-suffering and mercy shall be recognized by people who cry out for My justice, they shall know about My love which wants to save the spiritual beings in greatest danger and which is therefore often misjudged. But when the last day has come My love will step back and let justice take precedence. And it will come as I have proclaimed …. Every sin will find its punishment and every good work its reward, and My righteousness will be revealed ….
Amen

God's leadership ….
B.D. 5098 from April 1st 1951, taken from Book No. 57
I Myself want to guide you and you can entrust yourselves to My guidance without worry. Where you lack light on the path through the earth valley I will walk before you as a shining flame, and all darkness around you will fade away, clearly and distinctly the path lies before you which leads upwards, and in My company you cannot go astray. And all those who love Me will willingly follow Me; they will not turn an eye away from Me when I precede them, they will no longer look back to the world which lies behind them, they know no other desire than to return with Me to the father’s house which they once left voluntarily and which now keeps its gates wide open to receive them again for eternity. Yet only those who love Me follow Me …. Without love in their heart they don’t recognize Me, without love they cannot see the light emanating from Me either, without love they don’t strive upwards but look for a broad path which is more appealing, which always presents them with new images beguiling their heart and senses …. without love they chase after deceptive lights and don’t see that the path always leads deeper into the abyss; and they lack the right guide, for this they don’t follow. It is love which lets you accept My guidance but which then also protects you from every wrong path, which safely leads you to the aim and which you should therefore practice on your neighbour until it flares up into a bright flame in your heart, until you have become love yourselves and have acquired the right to be guided by Me. Anyone who stands helplessly at a crossroads need only direct his gaze to where a gentle light shines towards him, he need only call in his heart for the guide and I will lovingly take him by the hand and gently urge him towards the right path. My light will fall into his heart, it will become bright in him, he will understand what was unclear to him, his spirit will bring him enlightenment and without hesitation he will do and leave as it is evident to him as good and right …. for the light from Me shines in him and shows him the right path.
To all of you who love each other and carry Me in your heart I will be your guide through earthly life, and you need not fear ever getting lost once you have given Me the right to guide you on your path through life. You are My little flock which I lead as the good shepherd …. And I will not let any sheep from My flock fall into the hands of the enemy, I will protect you from his influence, I will watch over you vigilantly and not let anything hostile approach you, I will be your protector on every path you take and carefully guide you over thorns and cliffs, and even if the path seems impassable at times, with My help you will overcome all bumps and difficulties, with My help you will reach your aim safely and unharmed …. I Myself will lead you into the father’s house, which you will now never leave, because I am with you, Whom you love and Who returns your love for all eternity ….
Amen

Childship to God …. Conditions ….
B.D. 5099 from April 3rd 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Nothing else can gain you childship to God than living a life according to My will, a life of love, an assimilation and integration with the eternal order, which is based on love. Becoming My child with all the rights of the Father poses prerequisites on the living creation which, as a human being, shall acquire this privilege, and these prerequisites may be easily fulfilled but, on the other hand, may also be incredibly difficult …. I expect people to fulfil My commandments, the transformation of their nature into love, so that everyone coming into contact with the human being can recognise him as My child. This commandment of love must be fulfilled; otherwise assimilation with Me, Who is the eternal Love Itself, is impossible. Yet this always applies to the innermost stirring of the heart, for the layers surrounding the still struggling soul will dissolve or harden accordingly …. and this heartfelt stirring must emerge in the human being entirely without force, then it is valuable, both for oneself as well as for the needy brothers, which must feel true love in order to value its strength. Love is the only means of redemption, love is the only path leading to Me and love must be practised by every person who wants to become happy …. I cannot digress from this condition of Mine because contact with Me can only be established through love and because this connection belongs to the state of childship to God. One is the result of the other, therefore also the fact that love provides light and strength to the one who practices it unselfishly. But light and strength are likewise part of My fundamental nature, just as both were possessed by you, My living creations, when you were still in a state of perfection. You were full of light and strength as long as you were permeated by love, but you lost them when love subsided. All these things are separate concepts for you humans …. light, strength and bliss …. yet they inevitably belong together, and a life of love, a compliance with My commandments, will return everything that you once lost back to you. And you can receive huge riches again if you adapt yourselves to Me as the eternal Love, hence, if you become again what you were in the beginning …. My children, who can delight in bliss because an abundance of light and strength dwells in them. The childship to God is the highest degree of bliss My living creations can acquire. I certainly make demands on you but they are not impossible to fulfil because I Am constantly by your side with My love and grace, because I do not expect anything from you which is beyond your strength; instead, I always adjust My demands to your spiritual state. Yet, as soon as you live a life of love, everything will come easily to you because love itself is strength and thus you can constantly increase your strength. Besides, through love you draw Me Myself to you, you draw the Father and the Father draws you …. And you will reach your goal for certain, you will become My children and take complete possession of My heart …. And I will not resist you, since I long for My children, they are the product of My love and I want to prepare immeasurable beatitude for them for all eternity ….
Amen

Matter …. Loss of earthly possessions …. Free will ….
B.D. 5100 from April 6th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Everything you call your own on earth can be taken away from you if it is My will, and you cannot protect yourselves from it but have to accept it. But I constantly draw your attention to the fact that you should not grow too fond of earthly possessions because they do not last long. However, you can secure for yourselves spiritual riches which cannot be taken away from you and which you can constantly increase, particularly at the time of great adversity which will come upon you. Then you will be able to hand them out and those who allow themselves to be given treasures from the spiritual kingdom will receive many blessings. For they will help you attain eternal life …. Earthly goods cannot stop you from dying, but spiritual goods can indeed prevent your spiritual death. All worldly things will be ruined and you humans are likewise at risk of having to relinquish your physical life; then all your possessions will be worthless. If, however, you keep your life then you will be differently minded, for then you will realise the truth of My Word which constantly alerted you to this adversity. I know who will be affected by it through My will. Nevertheless, My intention is not to harm you but only to benefit your soul. I know where every person is still vulnerable and I have to inflict painful wounds on him which kill his desire for matter, which cure him from the blight of this world. Many will indeed regard it as a cruel and harsh fate, yet one day they, too, will know better and thank Me for forcefully intervening in their lives which otherwise would have continued without achievement for the soul.
I see how humanity becomes increasingly more immersed in matter, how it only works and creates in order to add to it, oblivious to the near end. It is a completely pointless waste of strength, for very shortly everything will disappear before your eyes which you humans so greedily desire …. And you let day after day go by without acquiring goods for your soul, day after day you turn your eyes to the world and don’t consider your soul’s fate after death, which is so close to all of you, from an earthly as well as a spiritual point of view. Yet I can only ever warn and admonish you again, but I cannot force you nor can I give you such obvious evidence of the truth I reveal to you that you would change because of fear in order to escape the calamity. You must want to become blessed of your own accord, you must spontaneously desire to be united with Me, your Creator and Father of eternity, then you will also voluntarily fulfil My will …. you will turn selfish love, the love for the world, into unselfish neighbourly love; then you will strive for spiritual values and need not fear the end or the loss of earthly goods, which the coming time of adversity will entail. I know full well what I want to preserve or leave to the individual person, but you don’t know it and shall prepare yourselves so that everything will be taken away from you and yet you will keep the everlasting wealth which can never be taken away from you …. Only attend to these possessions and you will at all times receive My kindness and mercy, My faithful care and Fatherly love, which always gives you what you need; which never leaves you, who want to belong to Me, in adversity …. This is why you never again have to dread the coming events, for you cannot lose anything anymore because you have gained everything ….
Amen

Bridge to God – Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 5101 from April 7th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You all have to walk on the bridge which leads to Me because there is no other way to reach Me. The man Jesus built this bridge for you …. He saw the infinitely wide gulf which lay between you and Me; He knew that it could never be overcome by you humans, that you could never reach Me and that you therefore had to languish eternally far away from Me if you were not helped. Then He Himself reduced the distance between you and Me …. He built a bridge over the gulf which was now passable for everyone who was moved by the desire for Me to enter this bridge …. For all of you there is only this one path which Jesus has preceded you …. the path of intimate union with Me, which is found through love and prayer in spirit and in truth.
There is a bridge on which you humans can make contact with Me. You are no longer hopelessly banished from My proximity, you can approach Me at any time, and Jesus has shown you the path, He has exemplified the life to you which you also have to live if you want to unite with Me …. You stand completely powerless at the edge of the gulf, and once you have raised your eyes to where I am, where the wide gulf has an end, then you first have to appeal for strength to be able to cover the path, which is only short but difficult. You must therefore turn in thought to the one Who can provide you with strength if you do not acquire it yourselves …. you have to pray to Me for strength or acquire strength through loving actions …. And My love will never leave you without strength, you will never lack grace if only you want to receive …. For the sake of the man Jesus, Who in His love acquired you graces without measure through His sacrificial death, I hear the slightest plea of your hearts, a short heartfelt prayer to Me turns these graces to you, for you thereby testify to your will to reach Me, to overcome the gulf …. you want to come to Me and I will always help you, because I also long for you who are still far away from Me. I don’t turn My eye away from you because you are sinful and have voluntarily distanced yourselves from Me, but I stretch My hands towards you which you only need to grasp in order to reach the aim. The bridge is indeed narrow and stony, it is a path which leads upwards but is not so easily passable, nevertheless, it is passable as soon as you let Jesus Christ lead the way, as soon as you choose Him as your guide and follow Him. Then the ascent will become easy for you, for He will help you carry every burden …. It is I Myself Who comes to meet you if you desire unity with Me and also accomplish it through love and prayer …. I Myself fetch My children across this bridge home to Me into the father’s house and will never let them leave Me again, because My love for that which I have created lasts forever ….
Amen

School of the spirit ….
B.D. 5102 from April 9th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You all have to complete the school of the spirit if you want to attain the eternal right to dwell in the spiritual kingdom as blissful spiritual beings permeated by light, who are able to create with might and strength in harmony with My will. This school of the spirit is your earthly existence, which frequently is an unbearably heavy burden for you indeed, but which then can also result in greater success if you only strive with good will towards your spiritual perfection and do not allow the tribulations of life to depress you, if you do not regard earthly life as an end in itself but as a means to an end. You always have to remember that the period of time you live on earth as self-aware beings is but short, but that this short phase is decisive for eternity.
Bear in mind that you are expected to make the free decision of will during this short time on earth, and that you are only able to make this decision if you are influenced by two sides and one side becomes victorious over you …. This, understandably, will require a struggle which you yourselves have to settle as human beings. Thus, your spiritual perfection is entirely in your own hands but it will be supported by Me in every way, even if it is not obvious to you. After all, I want to win you over and not lose you …. Hence, you also have to be convinced that I will shape every human being’s fate such that he will be able to reach his goal, his spiritual perfection on earth, if his will makes the right choice. And therefore I also know the dangers he could succumb to and will avert them from him as far as possible which, however, does not exclude the possibility that he can nevertheless succumb to them by virtue of his free will.
But his destiny is always appropriate to further his highest possible perfection …. Earthly life is but a short episode, and even if it entails a most arduous destiny his suffering will not offset the beatitude which he can create for himself with correct use of his will. I do not deliberately abandon any of My living creations to their fate, I will always and forever look after each one, for I want the school of the spirit to be successful …. And if the person is always (consciously) mindful that nothing happens or is permitted without My will, which always aims to achieve spiritual success, then he will also always have the opportunity to enter into mental contact with Me to favourably dispose My will towards him, since I Am a Father to all My living creations, Who lovingly tends to His children if only a silent call reaches His ear, an appeal for help in spiritual or even earthly hardship ….
You are truly not alone …. Someone Who loves you is with you and only wants what is best for you …. Why do you not call on Him and confide your problems to Him? Do not allow earthly adversity to deter you from Me but allow it to push you towards Me, then it will truly no longer burden you so much, for I will help you carry the cross that destiny has placed upon you in accordance with My wise decision and in awareness of what serves your spiritual perfection …. Then the silent submission to My will is already your correctly undertaken decision of will, then you will no longer be opposing Me but you will have relinquished your resistance to Me and acknowledged Me …. Then you will have completed the school of the spirit with utmost success and your end on earth will be an easy one ….
Amen

God speaks through the mouth of man to all people ….
B.D. 5103 from April 11th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
I Myself want to speak through you to the people who are in need of My word and therefore lead you to those who now listen to you and yet have received My address. There are only a few whom you will be able to instruct, thus also only a few to whom I can express Myself, albeit through your mouth, so that the word from above will touch them in a not unusual way; there are only a few, yet I know them and knock at the door of their heart and desire entrance. For anyone who listens to My word listens to Me Myself, and anyone who allows the word to take effect in him has granted Me entrance, and My presence will now be a blessing for him …. You therefore have a beautiful task to work in union with Me for Me and My kingdom …. For it is not you who speak but I Myself speak through you, yet only ever with your will, for which I bless you if it applies to Me and the redemption of erring souls. First you must be convinced of My word yourselves, then you will want everything out of yourselves which is also My will, then you will be urged to speak of Me and My working on you, then you will want to communicate yourselves to your neighbour, and then you will have prepared everything so that I Myself can speak through you. Faith in Me is necessary in order to be able to speak with conviction, thus you first have to believe yourselves in order to then stand up for Me and My teaching with zeal, for I cannot express Myself through an unbelieving person, because the slightest resistance will render My strength ineffective, thus you would also be unsuccessful with your fellow human beings if you yourselves are in doubt about the truth of what you advocate. But the strength of My spirit fills you who believe …. I can speak to you and through you and let you feel the strength of My word again, and then you will be true representatives of My gospel, of My teaching of love, which will not fail to have an effect on your fellow human beings either. You yourselves cannot do anything on your own, a spiritual strength always has to animate you, and you yourselves determine which strength flows through you …. My representatives, My servants and disciples of the end time, stand in faith and desire for Me, and thus I can also fill them with My strength, and then they will want and do nothing else but My will …. They will be industrious labourers in My vineyard, yet they feel themselves to be servants of their lord, Whom they love and to Whom they want to be eternally faithful …. Thus they always carry out My Will, and everything they do I have, as it were, done Myself …. I work with and in them, and all vineyard work will be blessed ….
Amen

God’s word most effective gift of grace ….
B.D. 5104 from April 13th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Whoever desires My grace will partake of it, and the measure of My grace is unlimited, because I love people and want to help them attain beatitude. But without grace no human being can become blessed …. Therefore you should use all means which serve to attain grace …. you should pray for the granting of grace, you should request all help from Me, you should also acquire grace yourselves through a life of love, you should always live pleasingly to Me on earth in order to thereby be candidates for the treasure of grace which is available to all of you but which also has to be consciously requested or it would remain ineffective in you …. You should call upon Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, Who is, so to speak, the treasurer of the graces which He Himself acquired for you on the cross. You should be aware of your weakness and request help so that you will reach the height, which you will never be able to do on your own. I love My creatures and want them to live but not to fall prey to death. But life requires strength, and since it concerns the life of the soul it must therefore be supplied with strength or it will perish and sink into spiritual death. But strength can only come from where it originates, from Me, the eternal source of light and strength. Consequently, you have to turn to Me and appeal for strength or acquire it through loving activity, since you thereby unite with Me and thus directly receive strength from Me, Who is eternal love. And I distribute it, I give to everyone who asks, because his request is the condition which secures endless influx for him. I give you strength directly or indirectly ….
But the most effective gift of grace, the gift from which you can directly draw strength, is My word, the outpouring of My strength of love and thus the surest means to reach ascent. I have bestowed My blessing upon this word, and everyone who accepts it experiences the wonderful effect of My word on himself. You humans all need a lot of strength and it is a special grace that I convey My word to you even without your will to accept it …. yet it can only become effective on you when you are aware of your state of weakness and seek and hope for help in the acceptance of My word …. Then the word will have become a source of strength for you. The word is an extraordinary gift of grace to you because it contains extraordinary strength which can be received by anyone who listens attentively when it is offered to him and eagerly moves it in his heart. My word is the connection between Me and you humans; I descend to you because you cannot come up to Me from your strength alone, for the path to Me is infinitely long as you are still weak. But where you are supported by My strength of love you will effortlessly reach your aim. But anyone who spurns My grace and therefore also rejects everything that comes from above as a visible sign of his unbelief cannot become blissfully happy, for in his weakness he cannot rise from the ground onto which My adversary threw him when he denied Me. And it is a denial of Me if My word is not acknowledged as originating from Me either, if the human being in his arrogance does not bow down before his creator, if he does not take hold of His merciful hand, if he believes he does not need His help and therefore cannot receive grace and strength either. Then he remains weak and unable to walk the path upwards, then he is heavily burdened with the sin of arrogance which presses him to the ground. And then he cannot be helped because he does not want to be helped …. For without My grace no one can become blessed ….
Amen

Connection of heaven and earth …. love …. will ….
B.D. 5105 from April 16th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
The spell of silence is broken, the world of light reveals itself, there are no boundaries that man cannot cross. Heaven and earth unite, and I Myself descend to man in the word …. There is nothing hidden any more, there is no unbridgeable gulf …. People can experience the truth as soon as they want to …. Take note, you humans, that I want to bring the truth to all of you and withhold it from no-one, but that a condition has to be fulfilled that you seek the truth …. Therefore, I will always open the sphere of life where the hunger and thirst for the living water is evident. Yet I will never force a person to accept the refreshing drink who does not desire it, even if it is offered to him against his will. This shows that I am certainly willing to hand it out, that I inform all people what they should do in order to become blissfully happy, but that I only offer it and do not exert any influence or coercion to make the person willing to accept it, which, however, would mean every unusual, unnatural event on the person’s will. Extraordinary signs will certainly make themselves felt, things will certainly happen which seem miraculous to the believer because he considers everything that happens to be connected with My will, yet the unbeliever will not see anything strange in it, nor will I ever influence him in a strange way because this would never have a beneficial effect on his soul. Everything in spiritual judgment follows the prescribed course of development until it reaches a certain stage and until then My will is effective in it …. But once it has passed this stage My will withdraws and the human being can freely want and act. I don’t approve of anything which means coercion for him, which would inevitably change his will and his thinking, as soon as people influence their fellow human beings, yet freedom of will is strictly respected on My part. Yet I bless every effort for the purpose of a change of will because it can lead to the aim …. for the return of a child to the father from Whom it had distanced itself …. And therefore I am looking for eager servants on earth who want to support Me in the end time, which has begun and is therefore significant for the whole of humanity. And their cooperation consists of carrying a light into the darkness everywhere, that is, of spreading the full truth which starts with Me as the eternal truth. The light now shines in many places, but where it is carried to by My servants on earth a spark of love must necessarily glow there, which now ignites itself at the light and becomes a bright flame, otherwise the light’s access is closed, otherwise it radiates without effect on the human being’s heart. Only a person capable of love can radiate light, and only a heart willing to love feels the effect of these rays, and his will to love becomes action, the ray of light becomes ever stronger and shines far out into the darkness. Therefore there can be no compulsion in the spreading of the light of love, of the eternal truth from Me, but love alone gives and love alone receives, but love is not subject to compulsion. And since truth comes forth from love, truth cannot gain access to people through compulsion, and thus it is also impossible for My will to initiate a spiritual action which would render people’s will unfree by causing things to happen before people’s eyes which contradict the laws of nature, thus they have to be recognized as unnatural. However, as long as such recognition is questionable, as long as there are also other explanations for unusual occurrences, there is no obvious compulsion to believe. Although indications are constantly given through My will which can make people think and believe, they must never be compulsorily influenced by the messengers of light in heaven and on earth …. Until the end messengers from above will instruct people, until the end every single soul will be struggled for, until the end every single person will have graces at his disposal without measure, and until the end I Myself will work among people through My spirit …. Yet until the end the human being retains his freedom of will which may not be influenced, although it can be recognized that he fails because he abuses his freedom of will again …. But then he must also bear the consequences according to My eternal order, which is irrevocable ….
Amen

Self-redemption …. only with Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 5106 from April 18th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
No-one will be able to redeem himself by his own efforts, and yet it depends solely on his will whether earthly life brings a person complete redemption from the bound state which was the result of his past apostasy from God. Redemption therefore means liberation from the power of satan, who separated the spiritual beings from God, who let them become sinful and unhappy. It was impossible for the once fallen spiritual beings to achieve this redemption on their own until Jesus Christ descended to earth to accomplish this work as a human being. He stood up as an adversary against satan and defeated him, i.e. His will was so strong that He resisted him, that He developed love as God’s part in Himself to such an extent that God’s adversary became powerless, because love is strength from God.
Every person is able to kindle this love, thus every person could also redeem himself if he wanted to …. But precisely this will is weakened by the past sin, the human being is inferior to God’s adversary and his own strength is not enough to liberate himself from him, because the will to love is too small as an inheritance from the one who is devoid of all love. But through Jesus Christ the human being has been enabled to increase his will to love as soon as he avails himself of the grace of the act of salvation, as soon as he has Him as His support, Who died for him on the cross and paid the purchase price for all souls to God’s adversary with His blood …. The latter can now no longer keep him bound if the human being wants to free himself. Thus the redemption of the human being on earth is certainly a work of free will which, however, only becomes active in the right direction when Jesus Christ is called upon for help as the redeemer of humanity. Then the human being redeems himself, which he cannot do without Jesus Christ, since satan still has him in his power, whose power was only broken by Jesus, thus the human being has to stand behind Him in order to get out of satan’s power. Self-redemption without Jesus Christ is impossible, but with Him it can very well be achieved, but the human being first has to muster the will to set himself free, otherwise even the divine redeemer cannot accomplish the work of redemption in him, even though He died for all people on the cross. Yet no human being is prevented from making use of the blessings acquired by Him, which is why the whole of humanity also participates in Christ’s act of salvation, but this does not mean that people will be redeemed against their will ….
(18. 4.1951) They can freely give themselves to Jesus Christ but also remain faithful to satan, who to a certain extent participated in the creation of the spiritual world because he drew the strength for it from God but used the strength according to his will and thus also placed willful resistance against God into the beings, from which Jesus Christ wants to redeem them through His greater than great love …. The act of salvation is accomplished for all, yet no being is forcibly redeemed but it must be of its own will to be redeemed through Jesus Christ’s blood …. otherwise the act of salvation has been accomplished in vain for this being, because it still recognizes its lord in satan and has no desire to escape his power ….

God's language from Father to child …. Words of love ….
B.D. 5107 from April 18th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
I Am close to all of you, so close that you are able to hear Me if you carefully listen to My voice within. And it is understandable that I speak to you like a loving father speaks to his children, simple, plain and yet full of love, so that My children are familiar with Me and that they will also recognise Me as a Father Who loves His children. And because it is My will that they shall understand Me, My Words sound in their hearts such that they can be grasped by every child again, that they cannot be misunderstood and that they will make the child happy. My abundance of love would express itself quite differently were you able to endure it, but for as long as you still live on earth the sound of My voice is adapted to your state of soul, and depending on each individual person it sounds audibly in his heart or affects his soul like the breeze of a thought. I Myself Am with all those of you who can hear My voice, I Am present to you and speak to you Words of love, of comfort, of admonition, and I educate you …. For you will always feel My presence as a flow of grace and strength …. He who desires a lot will also receive a lot …. He who opens his heart to Me desiring My love will also receive its flow without measure, and My love manifests itself in the Word …. The fullness of My love gives itself, the light of My fire of love shines into the heart of the one who opens himself to Me and wants to hear Me. Light, however, is wisdom, and the profusion of divine wisdom is inexhaustible and offers ever new treasures to the one who reaches out for them. Yet spiritual wealth will always be offered to you in such a way that you can grasp it, because I want you to understand Me when I speak to you. Therefore the light can shine in all places, I will make no distinction in the distribution of My gifts wherever they are desired from Me and the love of a child’s heart appeals to the Father for them. And so My children will always understand Me, otherwise they would not recognise the Father, but He wants to be recognised by the child. This is why My Word is the living water which pours forth from the spring so clear and unclouded that each person can refresh himself with it, because each person will find which he needs for the development of his soul …. consolation and comfort, love and wisdom, grace and strength …. For as long as you live on earth you are still immature little children to whom I can and will only give according to their ability to receive My Word of love and wisdom. And thus you, too, should only ever consider yourselves as children and with gratitude accept everything you are offered by the most faithful Fatherly love …. Don’t ask for spiritual nourishment you are as yet incapable of enduring, for spiritual knowledge you don’t need on earth, you should not ask to ascertain the works of My omnipotence until you have gained the spiritual maturity which enables your spiritual vision …. Be satisfied with what I give to you, what I deem beneficial for you and what My love has in store for the children who have established the right relationship with Me and therefore allow Me to be present Myself …. Pray to Me like children and gratefully receive the gifts which are bestowed upon you by My Fatherly love as often as you desire them ….
Amen

Proof of God’s word: love – wisdom – omnipotence ….
B.D. 5108 from April 20th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Only that is to be accepted as My word which testifies to My love, My wisdom and My omnipotence …. For many things will be presented as My word in the last days which, however, you should not accept without examination, since My adversary is also constantly active in order to cause confusion amongst people whom he can best reach by misinterpreting My word, for this prevents people from recognizing Me Myself and therefore also from approaching Me with love and seeking unity with Me. A being Whose love, wisdom and omnipotence is doubted will never be aspired to; but since I want you to desire Me, I Myself must reveal Myself to you humans, I must make Myself known to you as your exceedingly loving, most wise and omnipotent father and creator in order to also win your love, which unites us forever. Everything that proves My nature to you, all thought material which contains My love, wisdom and omnipotence, can also be regarded by you as originating from Me, you can believe that they are revelations on My part which I send to people in order to win them over for Me forever. However, teachings of faith which only cast the slightest doubt on My love, wisdom or omnipotence have never ever come forth from Me and My will to proclaim to people is nevertheless expressed by My adversary through such teachings in order to suppress the truth and to lead people into erroneous thinking. I am a God of love and could never ever give people laws out of My love under the threat of eternal punishment …. I could never ever drive them into fear, because a loving father wants to win the children’s love but not submissiveness on the basis of fear. Every teaching which also lacks divine wisdom is equally erroneous and does not contribute towards kindling love in people, for only something supremely perfect can be recognized as a divine being, only something supremely perfect can be the aim of spiritual striving, a being Which knows no beginning and no end and therefore also moves people’s thoughts beyond death …. And if you humans therefore test spiritual knowledge for its truth, seriously ask yourselves whether you are able to recognize God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence in it, and unhesitatingly accept what proves this to you, for I want you to recognize Me and will always present Myself to you in such a way that you will be able to love Me but need not fear Me. But if I am portrayed as an angry and punishing judge, then they are not revelations on My part, then the one who is an enemy of truth creeps in, but who fights with cunning and violence, who does not fight with an open visor but with a mask, so that you will not recognize him and should believe his words. Only one being, Whom you can love from the bottom of your heart, is your God and father from eternity …. Strive for this and you will always recognize His revelations which will always increase your love for Him, because the father Himself draws you to Himself ….
Amen

Love – wisdom – omnipotence characteristics for revelations ….
B.D. 5109 from April 21st 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You shall feel My love, you shall recognize My wisdom and experience testimony of My might and strength so that you believe that the eternal deity reveals Itself to you through the spirit. Nothing is meaningless what you experience, what happens around you and what happens within you …. And once you have been initiated into the secrets of My plan of creation and salvation then it will be easy for you to recognize My hand, My visible guidance, in everything that happens, for then you will also know that My love leaves no stone unturned to turn your hearts towards Me and that everything, even the most severe suffering, is merely an expression of My love which wants to win you for eternity. One day when you look back on your earthly life My wisdom will also be obvious to you, for then you will recognize the connection between every event and your soul’s maturing process, and nothing will appear arbitrary to you anymore, instead you will recognize everything as purposeful and beneficial which brought about your maturing. But My strength and might will also become apparent to you if only you pay attention to your course of life, which often seemed unbearable to you and again and again became bearable due to circumstances which you humans on earth regard as coincidence or your own will, but which were directed by My will in order to help you ascend. All people could experience My love, wisdom and omnipotent activity in themselves and testify to it if only they were mindful in believing that I direct everything according to My will and that nothing can happen without My will or My permission. The fact that My love and wisdom always determine this only has to be believed until the human being voluntarily and consciously places himself under My guidance …. Then he will receive the evidence that everything is providence and nothing is coincidence, and he will find this evidence within himself …. for a person who consciously places himself under My guidance sees and hears what the other person does not hear. And therefore he can now also speak with conviction of My love and wisdom and omnipotence. He is able to do so because he has evidence of it, because his own life’s fate again and again made him recognize Me in My being and therefore he gives himself to Me unconditionally because he loves Me …. And I reward his devotion to Me with My strength of love which now flows through him …. I work in him through the spirit …. I reveal Myself to everyone who has recognized Me as an exceedingly perfect being, who believes in My love, wisdom and omnipotence and therefore also no longer doubts that the eternal deity reveals Itself to Its living creations. Every revelation of Myself is also a testimony of My love, wisdom and omnipotence …. for My reign and activity is thereby made known, which always allows love, wisdom and omnipotence to become recognizable …. When I reveal Myself to people I openly enlighten them about My reign and activity as well as about the cause, the occasion and the ultimate aim of every work of creation, and My love, wisdom and omnipotence thereby become so obvious that there can no longer be any doubt that faith has now not only become belief but conviction …. that the human being has now come to recognize Me as soon as he himself allows Me to reveal Myself to him ….

Immense storm …. sleep of death …. forces of nature ….
B.D. 5110 from April 22nd 1951, taken from Book No. 57
A mighty storm must roar over people in order to awaken the souls from their sleep of death before the last storm of destruction passes over the earth. Blessed are those who awaken and still eagerly go their way, blessed are those who recognize Me Myself in the storm and voluntarily bow down to Me …. for they will not be broken but will rise up again and strive upwards. I certainly touch all sleeping people beforehand with a gentle hand and try to disturb them, yet they pay no attention to My gentle touch and therefore they have to be roused, I have to touch them rudely if I want to prevent them from being eternally lost, that their sleep turns into death and that salvation to life is impossible …. I constantly endeavour to rouse people from their spiritual lethargy and therefore often knock at their heart’s door, and where I am not heard I knock harder, through suffering and adversity I make Myself known so that they become mentally active and listen to Me when I approach them through My messengers. I only want them to think about themselves, about their end and their destiny, so that they will then most vividly realize that they also have a task during their earthly life. Even the thought of this can make them energetic, for it can determine the will to start the soul’s work as soon as it has recognized that this is its actual earthly task. They should only awaken …. For then they will also look around them with clear-sightedness and discover faults and shortcomings everywhere, and they will take action to eliminate them. But as soon as the mighty storm rises over the earth, even the dullest sleeper will awaken but first take a long look around to see what has disturbed him from his sleep …. He will then not have much time left for his work, especially if he is tardy …. Yet all too clear are the signs which can still compel him to believe if he is not completely alienated from Me. I don’t want their destruction, I only want their salvation, but anyone who doesn’t want to be saved I will hand him over to destruction, which will then be his own fault. My messengers of love and sending call beforehand with a bright voice to those who are asleep: Prepare yourselves for the coming of the lord …. open the door of your heart to Him and let Him enter, ask Him for strength and grace so that He may have mercy on you, and open yourselves to His influx through His spirit …. Yet only a few follow their advice, only a few take their words seriously and expect Me and also the end; only a few listen to Me when I Myself speak to them through these messengers. And these will also recognize the signs of the storm and prepare themselves for it by calling upon Me as their father for protection and shelter in the coming adversity, by commending themselves to Me and My grace and can now also be without worry that I will forget them …. But the sleepers will be startled and afraid, for they are defenceless against the forces of nature through which I Myself will express Myself …. And My voice will sound loud and threatening and make all people sit up and take notice, it will point to the near end which is foretold in the same way as the coming natural event and will likewise come to pass when it is time ….
Amen

Child relationship …. love …. humility …. right prayer ….
B.D. 5111 from April 23rd 1951, taken from Book No. 57
The relationship you have with the heavenly father also determines your spiritual development, which depends on the supply of grace and strength, thus also on your request for them. A child’s trusting relationship with the father also allows the child to ask for gifts of grace and it will always be richly rewarded, whereas a person who has an alien relationship with God does not approach Him for gifts of grace and can hardly mature without them. A child’s relationship with its father is a state of love which includes complete trust which a good father will never disappoint. Love for the father, however, excludes all arrogance, the child approaches the father in humility and thereby achieves an unspeakable amount with Him …. The father’s love for His children wants to give without ceasing and also distributes gifts where they are not requested. Nevertheless, the gifts of grace are only effective when they are consciously desired, and a conscious desire will always be the result of a right child relationship which ensures the human being every fulfilment, because God is eternal love Himself. The human being can never attain the degree of maturity on his own which is the purpose and aim of his earthly life, because in the beginning he is still opposed to God and, due to the influence of God’s adversary, he still lacks the realization of God’s love. But as soon as he believes in God at all, in a higher being Which created him, and trustingly hands himself over to this being, God rewards him for his trust and reveals Himself to him as a loving father in order to win the child for eternity. And now it is up to the human being’s free will to also ask the recognized father for His support …. Then he will already have entered into the right relationship with Him, for the appeal to Him testifies to his humility and also secures him the fullest measure of grace. And now he can ascend with God’s help, for God’s love draws him and will never let him fall again ….
Amen

Degree of love …. constant increase of bliss …. God unfathomable ….
B.D. 5112 from April 24th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Every gift of love is pleasant to Me, for I assess the degree of love which allows you to think and act, just as it cannot be otherwise, for I, as the eternal love Myself, am attracted by every expression of love, whether it applies to Me or to the neighbour. And thus the union can only take place in love, the intimate connection which is indissoluble forever. What has once united with eternal love in free will can no longer separate from it and does not want to either, because it is the most blissful state the being created by Me can achieve. However, increases in bliss can be constantly achieved the higher the degree of love rises, the closer the being comes to Me, Whom it strives for on and on …. I eternally no longer distance Myself from My children and yet I constantly remain the aim of their striving to come closer to Me, because this, too, belongs to unlimited beatitude, to long for and to constantly find fulfilment of the longing. And thus I am seemingly unattainable to them and yet they feel the bliss of union, a state which you humans on earth do not yet understand, that constant longing and constant fulfilment never comes to an end. Yet everything limited would be imperfect, but I am the most perfect being and therefore must also be eternally unfathomable, eternally the aim of the beings I want to make happy. And this bliss will eternally have no end ….
Amen

Blessing of love …. aim of the human being ….
B.D. 5113 from April 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You cannot develop yourselves upwards if you don’t cultivate love, if you don’t change your nature which, at the beginning of embodiment, only knows selfish love which should be changed into unselfish neighbourly love. Every act of neighbourly love is a step upwards, but without love you will always walk on the same level, indeed, you are in danger of sinking backwards through offences against love, through acts of hatred and unkindness. But your aim is above, and thus you must strive to reach this aim, you must leave the abyss through a life of love and try to reach spheres where light flows to you from above, where you now clearly recognize the path you should take in order to become blissfully happy. Only love can bring you the light, only love puts you into a state of recognition, only love makes you see so that you can no longer miss the right path. Without love, however, you are blind in spirit and the darkness around you will not let you find the path which, however, you would not want to take without love either because it leads upwards but you love the depth. No other advice can be given to you than to practice unselfish neighbourly love, because everything else emerges from love …. a living faith and a most luminous recognition of truth, which impels you to ever more eager striving because it points you towards the eternal light, which is worth striving for. Nothing else can replace love …. And all good deeds you do without love, which you carry out for the sake of a purpose, which are only intended to elevate you in the eyes of your fellow human beings, are worthless for eternity, they don’t take you one step further upwards, they are only done for the world and will also find their reward from the world. But right love makes good works immortal, they live on and follow you into eternity. For a right work of love is already a union with God, Who is love in Himself and Who therefore works with you if you are active in love. Right works of love are building blocks for eternity, they are the rungs of the ladder upwards to eternal happiness. Therefore don’t be idle on earth and gather spiritual wealth through works of love, treasures which will follow you into eternity, for only love achieves that the soul creates a blissful fate for itself in eternity. Only love brings the soul to maturity, and only through love will a person’s purpose on earth be fulfilled, so that his nature will completely change and become like God’s original nature, so that he will already reach the aim on earth, the union with God, in order to be exceedingly blissful, powerful and full of light for eternity ….
Amen

‘I came to My Own and they did not accept Me ….’
B.D. 5114 from April 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
I came to My Own and they did not accept Me, they did not recognise Me …. I Am rarely recognised by people when I approach them on the way, hence they either do not accept My offering as a divine gift or they pay only little attention to it. But I want to be recognised by people so that they can utilize My gift of grace properly and apply it for the benefit of their soul. I often knock in vain at the door of their hearts which remains closed to Him, Who brings the most beneficial gift, Who wants to give them a gift of incalculable value. They do not grant Me entry, they do not want to listen to Me and thus reject the most valuable gift although they are in urgent need of it. I came to My Own and they did not accept Me because they did not recognise Me ….
Many want to belong to My Own, many pride themselves about belonging to My church and yet do not know My voice when I want to gather them as a good shepherd and coax and call them …. They do not know My voice and stay away from Me …. But My sheep know the voice of their shepherd …. because I send to My Own Words of love from above, to those who open their heart and allow Me to enter as soon as I wish to enter. Only few recognise Me although every person would have the means to do so if they were willing to look for their eternal Father, because I would allow Myself to be found by them. But there is little longing for Me and thus they do not hear My Word either, which is the evidence of My Being and the visible proof of My love for human beings. And when it is made accessible to them by other people they lack faith and thus also comprehension for My love and mercy which give them the means to reach their goal on earth, to unite with Me by way of love.
It is easily comprehended by My Own who allow Me to speak to them and then make use of the gifts in accordance with My will. I can approach and reveal Myself to them and they will no longer doubt Me, they will accept Me anytime in their heart’s abode and hear My Word directly. They will contemplate My Word in their heart and proceed accordingly …. And they will also understand My Word which I spoke on earth, that My kingdom is not of this world.
Because they are now aware of the kingdom of God, they recognise the Father Who wants to come to His Own and Who is not acknowledged by people who live without love. But whoever lives in accordance with My Word has love within himself and is lead by it to realisation …. he follows My call because he has recognised Me ….
Amen

Battle of faith …. Fulfilment of promises ….
B.D. 5115 from April 26th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You will also have to assert yourselves in the world which will oppose and persecute you. That will be the start of the time of battle I announced to you and which will launch the final phase before the end. You will not receive any worldly help either, for those who want to help are too weak but those who are stronger are against you. Nevertheless you will have protection you can indeed rely upon …. because I Myself will be with you and will give you strength to prevail in the most difficult battle. Anyone who merely calls upon Me will experience My presence, for I will not leave My Own, although I will allow people to confront each other in battle. This final battle of faith must be visible because the spirits shall be separated …. because a separation must take place between My followers and the adversary’s followers, and even the last people must make a decision, who so far had shied away from an open avowal due to weakness of faith or fear. They shall take heart in view of the strong faith displayed by My Own, unless they completely fall away for the sake of worldly advantages which My Own must relinquish for the sake of their faith. This decision will only concern the inner life of the individual, yet is insofar significant because this decision will also affect earthly life and, therefore, many people will fail. For anyone who still values the world too highly, anyone who loves his life on earth, who still pays too much attention to his physical comfort, will hardly be able to prevail because everybody will have to give up everything if they do not want to relinquish their faith in Me and My act of Salvation. Many will fall away from faith because they will have to profess Me publicly. But anyone who knows the truth, anyone with advanced knowledge, anyone whose life of love also provided him with My strength, will remain faithful to Me until the end, he will freely and courageously profess Me, he will speak on My behalf and even still be able to convince those who are weak in faith and yet of good will …. And despite the greatest hardship imposed upon him by the enemies he will not feel the adversity so much because I will stand by him and provide him with everything he needs for body and soul. The enemies will not be able to harm anyone who puts his complete trust in Me, for what they take away from him I will return to him in a different form, yet always in a way that he will live for as long as I still need him on this earth. And My small flock shall testify to the kingdom of God and His power until the end …. and My promises shall come true so that a strong faith will be able to achieve everything and that My Own will receive what they appeal for in this faith. It will be a gruelling battle but My Own will survive it, for they have a commander-in-chief by their side Who will defeat every enemy, and anyone who belongs to His camp will be victorious and need no longer fear any opponent once the end has come, the Day of Judgment, which will separate the righteous from the unrighteous, the good from the bad, My Own from the followers of Satan …. the day when everyone’s reward will be in accordance with his works ….
Amen

God’s word truth …. living faith recognizes father's voice ….
B.D. 5116 from April 27th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
My word is conveyed to earth in all purity …. You humans are not aware of what you receive, for you are indifferent to the truth and don’t know that you absolutely have to accept the truth in order to become blissfully happy. You receive all kinds of knowledge from outside of which you have no certainty that it is the truth. And thus you are completely unclear as to what you should accept as truth, and on the other hand you are aware that you have to give yourselves an explanation and that you can decide for yourselves whether you are far from or close to the truth …. You can find it but you don’t look for it, and therefore you also miss the great miracle which your father and creator works on you from eternity, that you hear His word directly from above and thus the purest truth is imparted to you from above, a knowledge which gives you information about everything that is unclear to you. It is an act of greatest mercy towards you humans, for your indifference towards the truth makes you unworthy of this bestowal of grace, yet I pour out My spirit upon a few devoted people in order to bring the truth closer to all of you, which you urgently need for your beatification. A connection has been created from the spiritual to the earthly kingdom, and therefore people have to adjust themselves spiritually in order to grasp the gifts imparted from there and let them take effect, they have to disregard the world as long as the spiritual influx touches them in order to feel its effect, otherwise they will also pass by the spiritual knowledge from the heavens unimpressed and not recognize its value. The truth comes to you and you pay no attention to it …. I Myself am the Truth, and thus I come to meet you in the word from above and want to be received by you …. Yet how often do you refuse Me the door, you keep it closed and do not grant Me entrance, and this always when My word is offered to you and you reject it, when the truth is brought to you and you prefer the world and for its sake take no notice of Me, of what My love and grace offers you. You certainly have the excuse that you don’t know whether it is the truth, yet you don’t take the trouble to examine it either, otherwise you would very well recognize the abundance of wisdom hidden in it, which can only come from a giver Who is wise in Himself and lovingly seeks to introduce you to the eternal truth …. You do not seek and therefore cannot find either …. for as soon as you seek Me I will also let Myself be found, and then I Myself will offer you nothing but the truth. Hence the indifference towards truth also extends to Me, and all you humans who pretend to believe in Me do not speak the truth if you simultaneously reject My word which originates from Me, for if you believe in Me alive you will also recognize My voice and gladly accept My word because it testifies to Me and only strengthens your faith. Anyone who believes in Me also seeks to fathom Me, and the words from above sound to him like a sweet promise and confirmation of My Self …. Yet only a few seek Me and will find Me, for the people of the world are blind and deaf and the light of My word does not penetrate their eyes and ears, and therefore humanity walks in darkness and only rarely can lights flash and illuminate the surroundings …. but anyone who prefers the night flees from the light and will remain in darkness forever ….
Amen

Justice of God …. long-suffering – mercy ….
B.D. 5117 from April 28th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
I am a good and just God and yet I let My sun shine on the just and the unjust …. over good and evil, for I want to change the bad into good, but not destroy it. I am a God of love, and love sustains but does not destroy. I am a God of wisdom and have formed My creatures so that they shall exist eternally, but are not transient. But an existence in strength and light presupposes a state which corresponds to My original nature, thus can be called perfect to a certain degree. And into this state I try to place you, yet with due regard for free will as long as the human being dwells on earth. And therefore I let you enter the circle of light of My sun, the radiation of grace from My kingdom, during this time, but leaving you free as to whether you want to stay in it and perfect yourselves or whether you prefer to flee into the shadow and then also remain imperfect and enter the kingdom of the beyond imperfectly. The righteous and the unrighteous are touched by My sun of grace, the righteous and the unrighteous are considered by My love and need only want to become blessed. However, as long as the bad does not change into the good I cannot accept it into My kingdom because it would perish therein, for everything impure will be consumed by the emanation of love of the beings of the kingdom of light, which can only shelter perfect spiritual beings. This is why My long-suffering and patience will also have to be understood, which, as it were, calls My justice into question …. But the latter is not eliminated …. Once it emerges, but again only in order to establish the divine order, which may only be overturned to a certain extent in order not to have an illegal effect. Then long-suffering, patience and mercy step back and yet are not basically eliminated, for this act of justice is also an act of mercy in order to prevent a complete change into the opposite, in order not to let the essence fall into the deepest depth, from where the ascent to the height is almost impossible. As long as people dwell on earth they often violate divine order without experiencing an immediate punishment which corresponds to My justice. Yet the human being has free will, and any immediate compensation for his unjust action would curtail free will, since the fear of punishment would make him unfree and thus no ascent development would take place from within. This is why My justice on earth is not so obvious but nevertheless supremely My own, for every offence must find its atonement because this, too, is a law of order which cannot be overturned. Yet even the most severe punishment on My part is again proof of My love, since it is at the same time a means of education by which the being shall finally attain perfection after all, which is the first and last aim of everything that has emerged from Me, through My strength and from My love. And everything will reach this aim one day, even if eternities pass by …. everything created will one day become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Acceptance of the divine word no compulsion …. free will ….
B.D. 5118 from April 29th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
My spirit is eternally the same, My word never changes and My will always corresponds to the law of eternal order. And thus what My spirit reveals to you through the word will always and forever be right. My fatherly love is also always the same which embraces all My children, and all who desire in their heart to come to Me and make an effort to fulfil My will can count themselves among My children. The fact that every child feels differently and thus feels My fatherly love to a greater or lesser extent is due to the degree of its love for Me, which can understandably increase to the highest level but which is also little developed in many a child which longs for Me. Nevertheless, it is under My protection as soon as it has once willingly professed Me. And My greater than great love must be your guarantee again that I will not leave a helpless being, which strives towards Me, to itself or to My enemy. And therefore the will towards Me alone is already the assurance that this being will one day become Mine, because it already belongs to Me from the moment it has willingly professed Me. But for the purpose of purification and strengthening of will the being as a human being is often put to the test, and these tests also aim to stimulate its thinking, because only through reflection can the human being arrive at the truth or desire it and then also be considered. For as long as he does not possess the truth there is the danger of a wrong idea of Me which, however, first has to fall away in order to let the love for Me flare up into highest ardour, which then is the driving force for further perfection. But truth cannot be given to the human being without him desiring it, and it is only desired when the human being feels an ambiguity as oppressive and unsettling …. when it is dark in him he desires light …. and then a light will also be given to him, then truthful knowledge will be supplied to him which will help him attain perfection ….
My love brings you children together who long for Me and ensures that you teach each other and help each other to the truth. It conveys the truth to you from above, leaving it up to you whether you want to accept it, so that you will then also let your mental activity become active again, because everyone has to work on himself if he wants to reach higher maturity. This mental activity often has different effects …. it can also lead to rejection if My adversary intervenes and gains influence over a person for whatever reason the person himself has given him. My adversary will not win him because he strives towards Me and I will not let him fall. But he can still go astray until he lands on the right path again. He now matures in a different way but will still reach his aim. For I leave the human being free will and do not force him to accept the word conveyed to earth as My word. Yet he is not apostate to Me but merely arrogant towards his fellow human beings which does not allow him to recognize what is right. But he does not give up on Me and therefore also safely reaches his aim. I never want to put you humans into the position of having to accept My word from above, and therefore I must also leave everyone the opportunity to doubt it, for he will recognize it if he requests My support, the illumination of his spirit, in humility and love for Me …. My working of the spirit in the form of My revelation must not mean any compulsion of faith, otherwise it would be completely contrary to the purpose …. And this as an explanation for one of your questions ….
Amen

Will to work for God secures protection by beings of light ….
B.D. 5119 from April 29th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You leave the earthly world behind you as soon as you prepare yourselves to receive My word, and thus the soul has lifted itself up into the spiritual kingdom where it is met by beings of light on My instructions in order to instruct it. These beings of light are also constantly around you on earth because you have taken on a mission which is the same on earth as it is carried out by the beings of light in the spiritual kingdom …. to pass on the truth which originates from Me. Hence these beings must stand in fullest truth and always influence you, the thinking and the will, which both correspond to the mission, the work in My vineyard. Thus your thinking and wanting is always under the control of those beings of light and yet you are not forced to think and want according to their will. Yet the will to serve Me is enough for the beings of light to direct you, and they rarely find resistance, which is why their work is also successful, both on you as well as through you on fellow human beings. This activity of the beings of light is observed by many souls in the beyond who are still immature and likewise want to make themselves known to earthly people but have no strength to express themselves. Their thinking is more earthly and therefore has no effect on a spiritually striving human being. Yet the latter feel the proximity of these beings as disturbing and disruptive. And that is why the beings of light endeavour to form a protective wall around people who are allowed to receive spiritual possessions through them according to My will. Thus they are always isolated from the still imperfect spiritual world as soon as spiritual instructions take place, which, however, does not exclude that these beings will arrive as soon as the transmissions from the spiritual kingdom are finished and then want to make themselves known. But everything imperfect will always have an unfavourable effect on the spiritual striving upwards but it will never gain power over it, for anyone who is to carry out a mission for the redemption of the spiritual on earth will always be protected by the beings which serve Me and only fulfil My will. And you, too, are entrusted to these beings so that those who still dwell in darkness themselves and therefore cannot distribute light to those who want to be active as bearers of light for Me and My kingdom will not have any influence.
Amen

Spiritual mentor ….
B.D. 5120 from April 30th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Every soul has its spiritual mentor, its guide, who wants to help it to eternal life. He seeks to influence the human being’s thoughts and turn them towards the spiritual kingdom, but he also shapes the human being’s life fate such that it can lead to great success, yet with due regard for free will. This mentor knows what is beneficial for the soul’s development and what could be disadvantageous for it, and therefore he will always endeavour to help the soul’s progress, because he is united with it in love and the guidance over this soul has been given to him by God Himself. He promotes everything that serves it; what could be detrimental to it he tries to prevent, but always in wise knowledge and great love. As long as the human being remains on earth the spiritual spheres are closed to him intellectually; even if the soul can soar into the spiritual kingdom it still does so unconsciously to the body and is also unable to convey the impressions from these spheres to the intellectual being in such a way that he could form a picture which corresponds to the truth. The spiritual kingdom will also remain a mystery to the physical human being until the body has spiritualized itself to such an extent that the soul can communicate what it has seen and it remains in its consciousness. Then that degree of maturity is reached which makes a further life on earth unnecessary, which the spiritual leader would also like to reach as long as the soul still dwells in the body. But as soon as this degree of maturity has not yet been reached the mentor carefully guards the intellectual person against creating distorted images of the spiritual kingdom which could only confuse him but not further him, for the human being’s intellect still has an influence on the soul as long as it has not already reached the degree of maturity that it is able to see spiritually. It can certainly dwell in spheres in dreams from which it draws much strength and knowledge but it will not take over the memory of it into earthly life as long as the body is not equally spiritualized. In a manner of speaking the spiritual mentor erects a wall and hides everything behind it which is still incomprehensible to the human being’s intellect, whereas the soul can cross the wall unhindered and gain insight into the spiritual kingdom. And this boundary is carefully guarded by the spiritual side …. remains hidden from the human being’s intellect what is unveiled to the soul …. until there is no longer any danger for the soul to fall into doubt when the intellect tries to shake it. A strong soul, which has become rich in knowledge, can now also convince the intellect and correctly refute every objection, yet it first has to have reached this maturity, then it can look unhesitatingly and consciously into the spiritual kingdom and also communicate itself to the intellect, which then likewise allows itself to be taught about it and does not oppose any doubts of faith. Anyone who seeks the truth will also find it, yet the human being should always leave himself to the spiritual guidance and not try to penetrate knowledge on his own authority, which can only harm him if he does not have the necessary degree of maturity to make proper use of the knowledge. His spiritual guide knows about the state of the soul and seeks to raise it as long as no resistance is offered to him. For he does not lack wisdom and love, and he considers his pupils in such a way that it is a blessing for them ….
Amen

Power of faith …. love makes faith lively ….
B.D. 5121 from May 1st 1951, taken from Book No. 57
A believing earthly child achieves everything with Me, for I will not let its faith fail. And so you, who want to serve Me by spreading the gospel, must test the strength of faith if you want to be extraordinarily successful with your fellow human beings. You have to put into practice what you teach, and thus, if you stand up for faith, you also have to prove what a strong faith is capable of. With Me you are able to do everything …. And you should believe that you accomplish everything with My help, that I am present to you and work together with you, thus nothing can fail for you. If you request strength from Me I will never deny it to you, you may make unlimited use of My strength; you only have to believe that you do nothing on your own but everything with Me …. Then you can tackle everything and you will succeed in everything. Again and again I encourage you to develop this strong faith within yourselves, because then you will have gained everything on earth which you still need …. and because a strong faith is the testimony for the truth of My teaching which you should proclaim to your fellow human beings during the time which precedes the end. If you are so profoundly devout yourselves then you can also prove the strength of faith to your fellow human beings, and you will be recognizable to everyone as an emissary in My name, you will then prove the divinity of the teaching which you spread in My name. A strong faith will secure you many followers, but if you doubt the success of an undertaking yourselves how will you then win over your fellow human beings for My teaching. But a strong faith is only gained through love, for this makes faith come alive. You will be able to believe if you live in love …. Thus weak faith is still a sign of a lack of love, and this is what ails people who are unable to believe. Always bear this in mind: Love gives life to faith …. Then you will also have the simplest means to attain faith. Practice neighbourly love …. and thereby draw Me Myself to you, My presence gives you security and awareness of strength, and in this awareness you consider everything possible, whatever you want to do. And therefore also teach your fellow human beings that they can only attain strong faith through a life of love, but that strong faith is absolutely necessary in order to become master over all external onslaughts in the coming time, and that strong faith in My help is never without success, that the human being is even able to work miracles, for then he will no longer work alone but in union with Me, and he must succeed in everything …. For I will not let a strong faith go to waste ….
Amen

Spreading the gospel is a work of mercy ….
B.D. 5122 from May 2nd 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You have a large field of work if you want to be active for Me, for you live in the midst of people who are partly completely turned away from Me but partly so indifferent and weak in faith that it is necessary to send true representatives of My teaching amongst them whose words can have an influence where the will is still good. There is an enormous amount of work to be done and only little success will be recorded. Nevertheless, nothing shall be left undone in order to save those, for as soon as they persist in their attitude, in their faithlessness or indifference, they will sink even deeper and in the end belong to those who will be lost for eternity. It is a great work of mercy to help them, to strive for their transformation and to awaken in them the impulse to work on their souls through example and good teachings. For there is spiritual darkness among people and they know nothing; the truth is far from them and partly prevented by erroneous teachings, and thus the human being is only worldly-minded and does not think of his actual earthly task. The field of work is vast, for you are always surrounded by people who need your help, and every activity results in a blessing, even if the success is not visible. The coming time of adversity will contribute towards your speeches being remembered, and therefore you should not fail to draw their attention to the coming time of adversity, make them aware of the near end, the danger they are in and mention My greater than great love which would like to avert this danger from them but requires people’s will to do so …. You will certainly often experience resistance, yet this should not discourage you from repeatedly mentioning My teaching and emphasizing My working of the spirit on you, so that they will become thoughtful and the seed you scatter will not fall on completely stony ground.
You should be diligent workers in My vineyard and not do your work lukewarmly or indifferently …. For time is hastening, and the day when you can still work will soon be over. It is followed with the night, when all work is impossible …. Therefore use every opportunity to bring Me and My kingdom to your fellow human beings, teach them love which also produces living faith, explain to them their purpose of earthly life and admonish them to make contact with their creator and father of eternity; admonish them to establish the right relationship between children and to call upon Me in prayer for grace and strength, and don’t hesitate to announce the near end to them, for they shall know what is in store for them even if they don’t want to believe it …. The coming time will bring them the evidence that you have spoken right, and thus many things will come to their remembrance again and touch their hearts according to their will, and success will not fail to come. For the adversity is great and therefore help is urgently needed which you should bring to them in My name so that many will still be saved before the end comes ….
Amen

Distance from God is a wretched state …. No separation ….
B.D. 5123 from May 3rd 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You can certainly revolt against Me but you cannot separate yourselves from Me, for you are a part of Me that can never ever get lost …. You, however, experience the distance like a separation and therefore think that you’ll be able to detach yourselves from Me; yet the chains connecting us are untearable, they are merely shorter or longer but inevitably keep us together. All resistance extends the distance from Me, but every deed of love brings us closer together and unites us. If you therefore distance yourselves by resisting Me then My adversary will intrude and place himself between you and Me. Thereby you won’t recognise Me anymore and comply with his will, for he lures you with that which you desire, with earthly goods which make My image grow increasingly fainter. Nevertheless you belong to Me and remain My possession, because I will not forfeit My claim on you. But My adversary and you believe yourselves capable of escaping My authority, yet then you will simply distance yourselves more and more from Me and find yourselves in a wretched state. For your distance from Me signifies a total lack of strength and light, it signifies the soul’s death, it signifies a state of darkness which will also always remain a state of wretchedness. You, however, don’t know the state of beatitude …. Hence you do not strive for it but content yourselves with earthly happiness which My adversary bestows upon you the more you turn away from Me. You don’t know the true life, the life of the spirit which gives you light and strength in abundance …. you don’t know the divine abilities you could possess were you associated with Me again ….
But I loved you from the very beginning and My love for you will not diminish; it wants to give and please, thus it also wants to lead you to the realisation of what you used to be, what you are and what you shall become again in order to be eternally happy. Yet whether you allow yourselves to be taught by Me is up to you, for I will not force any being to accept from My hand what makes it incredibly happy …. It can freely decide whether it wants to belong to Me or to succumb to My adversary’s influence. However, since My love for you, My living creations, will never end, I will also pursue your love forever, and I will do whatever it takes to help you achieve beatitude, time and again I will come close to you and let you feel My love until, one day, it will beneficially affect you and you will turn to Me in order to receive more and more love, until you love Me too and voluntarily pull yourselves away from My adversary and strive towards Me. Then My and your happiness will be infinite, then there will be no more distance between us, then we will be firmly united by the bond of love and never ever separate again, for once something has found its way to Me of its own accord I will not let it go again, I will not let it fall again and the adversary will have lost all power, it is and remains My Own for all eternity ….
Amen

God's courtship of the love of His creatures ….
B.D. 5124 from May 4th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
I constantly court your love by showering you with blessings so that you shall also recognize My love and reciprocate it of your own free will. Everything around you shall prove My love to you, and when you look at every work of creation you should be aware of the fact that it was only created in order to make you blissfully happy, for every work of creation was necessary for your ascent development, which had already reached a high degree when you were allowed to embody yourselves as a human being on this earth. You should be aware of the fact that the whole of creation only arose for the purpose of returning the apostate spirits to Me and that you yourselves are beings which accomplished this apostasy from Me. Just as you can observe a constant coming into being and passing away around you, so too has your soul gone through ever different forms which constantly experienced the process of coming into being and passing away; you have reached ever higher maturity in the state of compulsion, and the whole of creation was the means for this, since the spiritual essence in you could never have developed upwards by itself without My help. You should consider all this and know that your creator and father from eternity only intended great love for you to let the work of creation come into being, and that you should only reciprocate this love according to your strength in order to then also be blissfully happy again without limitation, as was your former destiny. I don’t want to let you fall because you are indissolubly united with Me through My love, but only your reciprocated love will let you feel the happiness of My love; and therefore I constantly court your love which only restores to you the character of a divine creature which you have lost. Look at the creations around you in remembrance of Me, then let yourselves be touched by My rays of love and they will start to warm you, the spark of love in you will ignite, you will involuntarily have to think and act well if you let the creation affect you. For then I Myself will speak to you through it and your heart will be in a soft mood and willing to do deeds of love. And then you will already reciprocate My love which is directed towards Me through your neighbour, even if you are still unaware of it. I want to be recognized by you humans as a God of love, so that you long for Me and I can draw you up to Me at My father’s heart …. Then our love will find fulfilment, it will be an everlasting blissful give and take ….
Amen

Process of development …. Law of compulsion …. Stage of free will ….
B.D. 5125 from May 6th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
Nothing is without purpose and goal …. Everything in existence was created by God and brought to life to fulfil a purpose. Consequently, everything also has its function; it has to serve in some way or other in order to fulfil its purpose. Even the smallest work of creation, the smallest living being, has its task which it has to comply with and effectively is forced to do so, because every creation is subject to natural law, thus it is unable to act unlawfully.
Nevertheless, even an accomplished task in the law of compulsion is effectively a service, for it will always benefit another work of creation, it is necessary for the emergence and preservation of same. And thus, nothing in the entire universe is without purpose, or was created for no reason.
The final purpose and destiny, however, is the liberation of the spiritual substance, towards which the whole of creation contributes in accordance with God’s wise plan of eternity. The whole of creation only came into being for the purpose of liberating the spiritual substance, and every single work of creation complies with this destiny in the law of compulsion.
The human being, however, is an exception, he is indeed God’s work of creation too, nevertheless, his thoughts, will and actions are not subject to the law of compulsion. The external human being, the physical body, is still subject to the law of compulsion, because this consists of spiritual substances which are still at the beginning of development. His soul, however, enjoys a certain amount of freedom, it is able to develop in line with its own will, thus God has not subjected it to this law. All the same, even the soul’s development, its release from the constraint of earthly matter, depends on its will to occupy itself in a helpful manner …. thus, again, service is the actual purpose of its earthly life. And since it is not forced into a helpful activity, love has to develop within itself, which is the most certain impulse for helpful activity.
What occurred and was achieved during an infinitely long time in the law of compulsion shall now experience its culmination as human being, but of its own volition. The human being should serve with love in order to become completely liberated from the constrained state, which the soul regards as a limitation and restriction of its original abundance of strength and light …. The human being’s soul can reach this goal on earth if it has the sincere will to do so, yet it does not have to attain it, because God gave it freedom of will to enable its free decision for Him or His adversary, who caused its loss of freedom and from whom it therefore has to liberate itself. Loving service is the key to liberation from this infinitely long captivity …. What the spiritual substance had to do in line with God’s will during the long path through all of creation, it should now, in the final stage, do of its own volition …. it should serve because of love …. Thereby it demonstrates its divine origin, for love characterises the divine being and it shapes itself again into its original nature, it accepts again what it had voluntarily abandoned due to arrogance. As soon as the human being serves with love his offence against God will be cancelled, he will have left the state of sinfulness and will have found his way back to God, from Whom he wanted to distance himself …. (had distanced himself) he has recognised his childship and desires to enter into the right kind of relationship with the Father, and through love he will become a true child of God ….
Yet it all has to take place in free will, and this is his test of earthly life which he absolutely has to pass. The human being is able to reach this goal since he will receive help from God in every way, but he may also have completed the infinitely long process of development in the law of compulsion in vain if he, instead of progressing in the stage of a human being, comes to a standstill or even slips back. Then he will misuse his free will again …. he does not use the many opportunities at his disposal to reach the goal, and then he will also have to accept the consequences …. a repeated path through all of creation. One day he will surely reach his goal, but it is up to the being itself to decide the duration of its captivity, for God gave it free will which He respects so that it can become perfect ….
Amen

Need of the last time …. many will still be recalled ….
B.D. 5126 from May 7th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You only have a short time left for salvation, and if you do not make full use of it, you will be destined for a dreadful fate …. But I take care of the weak and undecided and help them to escape this adversity. Many souls will still leave their bodies before the last end comes because they would be incapable of offering resistance in the last battle of faith and yet shall not sink into the abyss either, i.e. they shall not belong to those who offer Me harsh resistance. I will still undertake a great cleansing action beforehand where many more souls will be purified or rendered harmless for further activity in order to prevent their complete apostasy, because I recognize their state of soul and do not spoil what is still suitable for improvement in the beyond. The time is only short and will be very difficult for all people except those who have devoted themselves to My adversary and are earthly supported by him in every way because they sold their souls to him. Yet I point out this time of adversity to you, and when it comes you should remember these announcements and draw strength and courage from them, because at the same time I also promise you safe protection and salvation who want to belong to Me. People can only kill your body, they can only harm you earthly but they cannot harm your soul, and if I also promise you protection for your bodily life, if I assure you of My help in every adversity, then you can expect what is coming without worry, you can let all events approach you with firm confidence …. I will always find a way out, even if no earthly help seems possible. For I am the lord over life and death, I am the lord over creation and over the kingdom of light and also of darkness …. Nothing can happen without My will and My permission; but what happens is only for your and your fellow human beings’ salvation. It is still quiet and you humans don’t believe that you are facing great events; you humans don’t want to believe that completely different living conditions will arise and that you will have to muster much strength and trust in order to meet all demands made on you by hostile forces on My part. But it will come to pass as it is written …. The great tribulation will pass over the earth and you will realize that you live in the end time where you will have to prove yourselves. But you will always find one Who is willing to help you. And if you believe in this one and appeal to Him with a childlike heart you will emerge from every danger unscathed, for I will come when the adversity is greatest and save you …. And all adversity will come to an end, for now the final separation of spirits will take place. And thus you will no longer be able to be afflicted and live a blissful life in paradise on the new earth ….
Amen

Vineyard work …. subordinating the will ….
B.D. 5127 from May 9th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
The vineyard work is so versatile that all who are willing to do so can enter My service, for I assign the activity to everyone according to his ability, and everyone will be able to carry it out, although great eagerness to work is required. Yet there are only a few who are willing to work for Me, and their degree of maturity is so different that not everyone can do the same work and that I therefore train servants for Myself in order to be able to distribute the work such that it is successful for Me and My kingdom. The vineyard work has become extremely urgent, for the time of harvest is approaching and therefore I still need many servants who want to serve Me with love. But where will I find such? Serving Me is not particularly appealing to the people of this world, for apparently there is no advantage to be gained from it; moreover, this work also requires tremendous self-conquest …. The human being must serve, i.e. put his own will aside and let the lord’s will alone prevail …. I make this demand of everyone who wants to work as My servant in My vineyard. He must completely submit himself to Me and only do what I demand of him. Yet people are self-willed and cannot subordinate themselves, and therefore they are also not suitable for a service which requires complete devotion of will. For only one works, and He is I, because I alone know what is good and right …. Therefore My servants must submit themselves to Me and only ever carry out My will. I don’t want them to work arbitrarily without having obtained My instruction, I want them to listen to what I tell them and then eagerly work according to My will. Thus I want to instruct them first, only then shall they appear in My name and carry out vineyard work, i.e. work the field, the human hearts, to receive the good seed, My divine word, so that the harvest will be rich and I can praise My servants if they have brought Me a great harvest. Whoever wants to work for Me shall accept the instructions from Me, thus open his heart and ear so that I can speak to him. But anyone who tackles the work without being instructed by Me will not have much success, for he does not work for Me but for himself …. He only works for the sake of the reward he is given, and this will be meagre and only paid for the time on earth …. So he probably also volunteered for vineyard work but did not wait to see whether I would employ him as suitable for it. He worked because every job pays its wages, yet not out of love and loyalty to the lord, Whom he serves. And I do not value this work as work for Me and My kingdom. I certainly pay the wages, i.e. I maintain My servant as long as he works for Me, but beyond that he no longer deserves anything, for his wages are gone because he only thought of himself, but I need servants who want to serve Me out of love for Me and their neighbour, who carefully look after My vineyard and don’t allow anything to get lost in it, who therefore are and will remain faithful servants to Me for all eternity. Anyone who wants to work for Me must completely submit to Me and only be the executor of My will, I must be able to take possession of him and work through him without finding resistance. Then he will be My hand which becomes active, then he will work in My stead, then he will be My right representative and work in the vineyard according to My will. And then he will also have much success, he will increase My kingdom, he will win many souls for Me and his activity will be blessed ….
Amen

Strengthening the will …. receiving power through the word ….
B.D. 5128 from May 10th 1951, taken from Book No. 57
You will always need strengthening so that you can offer resistance to the one who tries to pull you down into the depths …. Your will is weakened and can only be strengthened by Me, and you should consciously request this, then you will also be able to withstand all temptations of body and soul. The adversary works with cunning and force and you are no match for his power as long as you are on your own. Then you will certainly be defeated; yet you can defend yourselves, you can triumph over satan if you obtain strength from above, if you appeal to Me for strength and receive it through My word …. Make an attempt, go into silence in the soul’s distress and immerse yourselves in My word with faithful trust in Me, then you will experience My direct working in yourselves …. You will be flooded with strength and lose all fear. Then you will have become master over satan and he will no longer be able to harm you. You often have to strengthen yourselves through My word, for it is the right food and the right drink for the soul which then exerts the right influence on the body, so that the human being feels strengthened mentally and physically, so that all restlessness falls away from him, thus he is spiritually and physically strengthened through My strength.
You, who are in possession of My word from above, have no reason to complain about lack of strength, you are direct recipients of the strength from above, because My word is blessed with My strength and there need not be any lack of strength for you if only you immerse yourselves in My word and thus intimately unite with Me and thus the strength can flow over to you. My word is the spiritual emanation of My eternal love and therefore can only have a life-awakening effect; furthermore, My word is the evidence of My presence, thus this evidence must also make you strong in faith that you can overrule all resistance, that you are able to banish the one who wants to tempt you …. You will always be stronger than your tempter as long as you let My word’s strength take effect in you, as long as you immerse yourselves in My word by believing in My presence and thus let Me speak to you directly …. , then all weakness will pass away, then you will be strengthened by the strength from Me which is received by you with the word and lets you become a strong being which is able to offer all resistance and withstand all temptation. For I am with you with My word and every evil power gives way to Me, including the one who is My adversary and thus your enemy and who wants to win you over by exploiting your weakness so that you will fall. But I support you, and if you hold on to Me you will never sink, no matter how shaky the ground you stand on may be ….
Amen
