God's presence …. faith without love ….
B.D. 5510 from October 18th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
I am always there where I am remembered with love, where I am recognized and acknowledged as God and father from eternity. There I constantly dwell, and people will also be aware of My presence, for they will live in peace and faith. But I am also there where I am not yet recognized but where the heart is capable and willing to love …. My presence is only still unconscious to the human being. Yet his love powerfully attracts Me, which is certainly not meant for Me but for his neighbour but which equally touches Me and causes Me to draw close to him. And the person who does not yet believe in Me, who does not yet consciously join Me, will experience a change in his inner life, he will often let his thoughts wander into infinity, questions will arise in him which he would like to have answered, and through the mental answers which emanate from Me Myself he will be stimulated to constantly search more and more for the truth …. Love guides him on the right path …. love awakens faith in Me, love influences his thinking, love makes the heart receptive for right thoughts which, however, always come to him from Me, because I want to win a person who lives in love for Myself, i.e. I want him to be recognized and acknowledged by Me, so that he will then also consciously consort with Me as he did unconsciously before through loving activity. Love therefore establishes the connection between the human being and Me …. Belief in a God and creator need not result in this connection, for it can only be a faith in form if love is still lacking …. Then he indeed recognizes Me intellectually, yet the bond of love has not yet been forged in order to connect the two of us …. This is why countless people can still be far away from Me, even though they seem to live as believing christians, even though they confess Me with their mouths, even though they don’t deny Me as God and creator …. and yet the bond with Me is missing because they lack love. And even if I try everything to kindle the spark of love in them, even if I constantly create opportunities for them where they could be active in love …. their hearts remain cold and they pay no attention to the earthly and spiritual hardship on earth. They don’t recognize the spiritual hardship because they don’t alleviate the earthly hardship where it would be possible for them to do so. And therefore the faith of the majority of people is dead …. They receive My gospel with their ears but the heart remains untouched, they are mostly only listeners but not doers of My word, for My word demands love, a love which may not only emotionally move the heart but should be proven through works of unselfish neighbourly love. My word demands loving activity through which you humans demonstrate love for Me …. Then your faith will come alive, then you will recognize and acknowledge Me and consciously enter into contact with Me, and then I will be and remain with you until the end of the world …. Then you will be able to call Me at any time through good thoughts and speeches directed towards Me, then I will dwell amongst you, then I will be present to you, because where love is, the eternal love Itself dwells and wants to make you humans happy with Its presence ….
Amen

God's essence is love ….
B.D. 5511 from October 19th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
I want to win your love because then I will have won you completely for eternity …. But you will only love a being Which you know and learn to recognize as lovable, Which appears perfect to you and Which inclines Itself towards you in love. And therefore I try to convey a true image of Me to you, I try to awaken your faith in My greater than great love for you, I try to enlighten you about the fact that you once came forth from Me, that I am therefore your creator and father from eternity. I seek to impart knowledge to you in order to stimulate your will to act and strive in accordance with this knowledge, for without certain knowledge you cannot become active yourselves. Only the knowledge of your outcome and your aim determines your will and your thoughts. But I do not only want to be acknowledged as that Which I am, but I want to be loved …. Obedience out of a sense of duty is not enough for Me, because only the union in love triggers beatitude and therefore I always and constantly court your love. If you now recognize Me in My perfection, which signifies love, wisdom, power, mercy, patience, justice in the highest degree, love for Me will also flare up in you, for as once divine beings yourselves all these qualities are within you, albeit still unresolved, since you pushed them back of your own free will due to your former fall into sin. But if knowledge is imparted to you, knowledge which gives you information about your actual relationship with Me, your God and creator of eternity, then you will also learn to recognize Me as God …. But as soon as love flares up in you, you will recognize Me as father and come to Me of your own accord with great desire. And I want to gain this love in order to make you eternally happy with My infinite love. For this reason I do not leave out any person on earth and approach everyone …. I want to direct his thoughts to the one to Whom he owes his existence, and then I want to influence his thoughts and will with My love, I want to draw him to Me and yet not touch his free will. And thus I will speak to him and My word shall bring him knowledge if he only listens to Me willingly. My word teaches him love for Me and his neighbour. He often cannot muster love for Me as long as he does not know Me well; but he knows his neighbour and should give his love to him …. I want to encourage him to do so, and if he complies with My suggestion love for Me will come of its own accord, for then he will already feel Me, Whom he has not yet recognized correctly, within himself, his thinking will be clear and in accordance with the truth as a result of love for his neighbour, and through correct thinking he will then also gain a correct image of Me and turn to Me without reluctance, he will mature in knowledge and thus also mature in love …. And I have now won him over for Me, for he who has once recognized Me will not let Me go, just as I will not give up on him who has taken a step towards Me of his own accord …. I long for My children’s love and will never cease to woo them, for the father’s love wants to give, the father’s love wants to constantly make people happy, but it has to be reciprocated in order to be perceived as happiness.
Amen

God’s word proof of His love and mercy ….
B.D. 5512 from October 21st 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The supply of the divine word is an act of grace of utmost importance, for people are so far removed from God that they themselves make it impossible for them to be struck by a ray of God’s light and love; yet this light of God’s love penetrates in order to illuminate the souls and stop their turning away from God, in order to reduce their resistance and cause their return to God. It is an act of God’s grace which testifies to His infinite love. The human race is ripe for judgment, or rather, it fails its test of earthly life and has therefore forfeited the right to stay on this earth because it does not use earthly life according to its purpose. Yet God’s mercy applies to His creations which have fallen away from Him, and He will leave no stone unturned if only one soul can be helped to salvation …. And therefore He Himself meets these creations which have turned away from Him in the word …. God Himself is the word …. Thus God Himself descends to earth when His word is conveyed to earth …. He makes contact with people and gives them the most effective means which leads to the aim, to union with Him. As soon as the creature distances itself from God of its own free will it deprives itself of His strength of love, and it is incapable of doing anything for its higher development. Free will prevents a compulsory return to God, but by distancing itself from God the creature erects a barrier for itself …. And God’s great love and mercy breaks through this barrier …. He goes after those who turn away from Him. This is a grace of unspeakable significance, for people reject God’s love, but God nevertheless touches them with His stream of love …. He addresses people, He wants to win them over with words of love and mercy, with helpful instructions and indications of the end …. He does not repay like with like, for He sees the hardship of His creatures which they do not recognize in their blindness; like a faithful father He seeks to protect them from ruin.
(21.10.1952) He offers His help to people so obviously that they would also have to recognize His love and voluntarily turn to Him, yet the strength of His love cannot become fully effective because people’s will resists it …. And there will only ever be a few who benefit and make proper use of the greater than great gift of grace. And these few will still be able to work amongst people as revivalists and professors of faith until the end, they will be able to speak with conviction and work for God and His kingdom with strength which they can draw from this undeserved gift of grace; they will have a beneficial effect amongst their fellow human beings and especially come to the fore when everything threatens to disintegrate, when there will be earthly and spiritual chaos and the near end is clearly recognizable. Then only those people will be listened to who have a living faith and represent the living word of God, who have received from the treasure of grace and can therefore also hand it out where greatest spiritual need dictates it. God’s love follows people and in times of adversity they let it take hold of them, and then they will also be saved for all eternity ….
Amen

Wrestling in the spiritual world …. intercession and recitation of the gospel ….
B.D. 5513 from October 22nd 1952, taken from Book No. 61
It is an incomparable struggle in the spiritual world, for the number of lower spirits increases immeasurably and they constantly multiply because the people departing from earth are completely under the spell of the one who rules the kingdom of darkness. It is a seemingly overwhelming task to redeem the souls from this kingdom; it is a struggle on the part of the world of light which is only ever conducted with love and requires excessive patience and perseverance, for again and again the dark beings are active to hold back a soul wanting to escape from them, which is why the struggle takes place, as it were, between the beings of light and the forces of darkness for the souls of people who are not yet completely hopelessly enslaved by God’s adversary. But the will of the souls has to be stimulated so that it demands upwards, because then the beings of light can intervene with their power, whereas before they were not allowed to use any power at all. And this effort to direct the will of the souls is incomparably difficult and often also without success. Whatever the souls are reproached with, they are unbelieving and accept nothing. And yet they must not be abandoned by the beings of light because only perseverance leads to the aim. Nor can they face the souls of darkness in all their fullness of light so as not to force the will to listen to them. They must appear in the same envelope and illuminate their hardship as if from within themselves in order to induce them to change their situation. Their love touches them charitably, but the spiritual hardship of the souls is often so great that they are dulled and no longer accessible to any instruction. They can only be won over by repeated attempts, because their hardship also becomes more unbearable the longer they resist. If the beings of light are supported by people on earth through intercession or mental attention to the gospel, the souls will be more willing to listen to them because they receive strength which weakens their will to refuse, and then the light beings’ efforts will also be successful. People’s thoughts on earth can work true miracles in the spiritual kingdom …. As a result the souls are moved into a certain urge to be active, they feel a strength which they now want to use, and they suddenly have the desire to improve their wretched state, they look around, as it were, for an opportunity to escape their present situation, and they will also always find helpful beings …. beings of light which, however, are not recognizable to them as such, which now assist them in word and deed. The beings of light will not tire of guiding those entrusted to them to ascent, only the first beginning is often incredibly difficult before the soul’s will is willing to listen to them. For then the opposing forces ceaselessly endeavour to influence them adversarially and reject all who want to help them. A person’s prayer on earth can then have an unspeakably beneficial effect, for the strength thereby imparted to the soul is always used in a positive sense. It is as if the soul then recognizes the hostility of the lower forces and the light beings’ will to help, and it already turns willingly towards the latter and away from the lower forces. Help must be brought to the souls from one side if they themselves have not yet recognized what is at stake. And therefore loving intercession is the surest supply of strength because it is also perceptible to the being which is still turned away from God as a benefit and it then uses the strength, i.e. changes its will …. thus, through the influx of strength it gives up its resistance and is now easier to guide and influence by the beings which want to help it to ascend …. The struggle for these souls is unspeakably difficult but yet not hopeless, and therefore the beings of light do not tire and do not let up until they have drawn the souls out of darkness into eternal light ….
Amen

God's call for power …. power from below ….
B.D. 5514 from October 23rd 1952, taken from Book No. 61
And again and again you will experience that you are unable to do anything without Me unless you call upon the one who is My adversary and your enemy but who gives you strength in order to destroy you. You will be able to overcome everything with My help, yet you must not rely on your own strength, for then you will already be caught in satan’s nets, who lets the feeling of your own strength arise in you in order to push you away from Me. Often you have to rely on yourselves alone in earthly adversity, no help comes to you from your fellow human beings and you yourselves feel too weak …. Then you should call upon Me and you can firmly rely on the fact that you will be led out of the adversity again if you believe in My love and My might. But it is fundamentally wrong to exert your strength to the utmost instead of calling upon Me in the belief that you will then be able to overcome the earthly adversity. You also receive your own strength from Me, and this can certainly achieve much after a heartfelt appeal for help. For I usually help in a natural way so that it does not work like a miracle, and yet it is My help which reaches you. But if the call to Me has preceded, then everything you undertake yourselves will certainly be good, for I will guide your thoughts as it is beneficial for you. Many people certainly achieve extraordinary things without having approached Me for blessing and help …. Their attitude can nevertheless be good, and My strength is active or fails according to this attitude. But the human being can have unconsciously entered into a bond with Me through his will to love …. in which case I will also support him in earthly adversity, yet only ever in such a way that he will also learn to recognize Me if he thinks about the obvious help. But anyone who is already My adversary due to his attitude, anyone who consciously and unconsciously rejects Me, anyone who believes that he does not need Me if his own strength is insufficient, will receive strength from below. And he will be recognized in the utilisation of what he has earthly acquired …. No serving neighbourly love will speak from his thoughts and actions, from all his works. His earthly successes will always become greater and greater, for My adversary will provide him with abundant strength in order to win him over completely for himself by firmly chaining him to matter, by stifling every good impulse in him in his desire for earthly goods, for wealth, honour and fame. Yet no blessing will rest on his activity, nor will he be able to become master over his fate which is imposed on him by Me. For again and again I will try to direct his thoughts towards the one Who alone is powerful in heaven and on earth, again and again I will show him his own weakness so that he will lean on Me and appeal to Me for strength and power, just as My adversary will constantly harass him …. Without Me you can do nothing, but with Me and My strength you can do everything …. But don’t let yourselves be deceived by the opposing power which certainly provides you with all earthly things in abundance but wants to take away the life of your soul, who wants to render you completely powerless for eternity. For he does nothing in vain, he harms you wherever he can and you have to pay for every gift of strength from below, for he does not want your bliss but only your ruin ….
Amen

Purification of the heart as the temple of God ….
B.D. 5515 from October 24th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
I want to dwell in you: …. Therefore your heart should also be such that I can dwell in it, and I can only dwell where all ungodliness has been removed beforehand, I can only be in a temple of love, in a vessel which is worthy to shelter Myself in it. And it requires a great deal of work on oneself to shape the heart in such a way that I can dwell in it …. for as soon as a piece of rubbish is removed it spreads again, and the work has to be done tirelessly until the heart is adorned with the virtues which now allow Me to take abode in it …. I am full of love and patience, thus you must also be so; I am gentle and peaceful beyond measure, and thus you must also make an effort to become like Me; I am full of forbearance and understanding for all weaknesses and demand the same from you, even if you will not reach the degree which still shapes you into a divine being on earth. I forgive those who have offended Me and repay them with all kinds of gifts of grace, and thus you should not hold any wrong against a fellow human being, you should treat those who have offended you with equanimity and kindness, and you should give them love and thus also try to win their love …. You should always take My life on earth as an example, since I, as a human being, had to struggle with the same oppositions and yet remained victorious because love gave Me strength, which you, too, can receive at any time if only you give much love. Such a purified heart will soon realize Whom it contains, for love attracts Me so powerfully, love adorns the heart and nothing can remain next to it which could prevent My presence. And you should not judge …. You should leave it to Me, and I truly judge justly but still differently than you, because I also love that which is still distant from Me and want to win it one day. Try to live on earth according to My example and the attempt will be rewarded to you …. For anyone who seriously wants will also receive My strength in full measure in order to be able to carry out his will. Anyone who seriously strives for inner perfection will achieve it, for he will soon feel Me as his helper within himself, and together with Me everything will become easy for him, even the attainment of a degree of maturity, which shall be the striving and aim of all of you. Your heart will become and remain a dwelling place for Me, and I Myself will be present to you for all eternity ….
Amen

Grace and will ….
B.D. 5516 from October 25th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
It is up to you to make use of My grace, yet it is at your disposal without limitation. Consequently, I cannot lead you towards perfection but you must do it yourselves, if only you have the serious will to ascend and this serious will also allows you to use all gifts of grace which are offered to you by Me. You must want …. My will cannot give you what you reject yourselves, yet I am always willing to give if only you want to accept it. And thus one person can certainly say that he is in great grace but then only because he was willing to accept it, whereas the other rejects the same measure of grace through his will which still rejects Me. I am truly just and don’t arbitrarily consider one person more than the other, My love for My living creations knows no limitation, and precisely the one who is still turned away from Me is powerfully touched by My love and grace, yet My emanation of love usually remains ineffective, which, however, is not due to the degree of My gift of grace but to the direction of the creature’s will. I give unlimitedly …. and all people could make use of this will of Mine to give and receive just as unlimitedly. But where there is resistance My grace is also without effect. Yet My ray of grace can suddenly strike the soul and change it. But then the change of will was already foreseen by Me, I recognized the human being as capable of change and willing to change …. Now I do not suddenly give him the knowledge, but the soul recognizes itself through the touch of grace …. So there was only a weak envelopment left to break through, which no longer withstood grace …. Every soul is touched when I bestow gifts of grace upon it, but whether it reacts to them is a matter of free will. A gift of grace will never and must never force a sudden change of will, and I very well recognize where this compulsion of will is eliminated, where the effect of grace is permitted by the soul itself. Grace approaches every person unusually, especially now in the time of the end, because I want to help prevent a soul’s downfall. I touch all hearts with My love and grace. One feels it, the other remains completely unimpressed by it, yet not through My will but his. I can only ever offer the greatest gift of grace in an unobtrusive way, because every unusual way would already be a coercion of will again. But grace nevertheless remains so effective in itself that it brings about the transformation from the abyss to the ascent if it is not opposed, if the human being himself has the will to reach the ascent. It remains unreal to the human being as long as he does not want it, it is obviously recognizable to the one who wants to use it ….. Yet the latter also feels secure in Me, for the utilization of grace also inevitably leads to unity with Me, by Whom the human being feels seized and no longer wants to think and act against His will. I am always willing to give, and if you humans are always willing to accept My gift you will also ascend and complete your development of your own free will, for My grace signifies help, My grace signifies strength and blessing for everything you undertake ….
Amen

Love of the world …. Serious admonition ….
B.D. 5517 from October 26th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
People don’t want to relinquish the world and so they try to make compromises which I, however, cannot accept. No-one can serve two masters …. especially not when both are entirely opposite in their nature. And thus, the world with all its pleasures and attractions is completely opposite to what you humans should strive for …. the spiritual kingdom, whose Lord I Am and will remain. You certainly live in the midst of the world but only in order to prove yourselves, in order to learn to overcome it, and not in order to savour it to the full and to satisfy your every corporeal wish, for then you will leave your soul dissatisfied to the same extent. You count on a natural decline of your cravings and wishes as you get older and think that you will still find enough time to consider your soul …. But do you know how long you will live on earth? Do you know whether you will experience old age according to your will? Have you any idea how poor and wretched you will enter the kingdom of the beyond were you to be recalled suddenly? Consequently, it is unwise to defer what is most important in earthly life to an uncertain time and thus you should realise that worldly pleasure, an earthly satisfying life on this earth, cannot be right in My eyes, otherwise you would not have to take into account that every day could be your last one. Every person with only a little faith in Me and a continuation of life after death will feel uncomfortable if he thinks about his sudden death, because he knows that he does not live in accordance with My will, but instead he silences himself with the world and its pleasures. Only total unbelievers have no second thoughts or qualms of conscience of any kind by getting out of the world whatever they can …. They have long quelled their indwelling silent admonisher which still makes his voice heard in those who are not without faith. My Words are intended for the latter to bear in mind that the world will not give them anything of lasting value for eternity, that they cannot take anything which seems desirable to them on earth along into the spiritual kingdom. They should bear in mind that they ought to detach themselves from worldly things and that they can easily do this if they develop the love within themselves …. Then they will find nothing desirable anymore if it belongs to the one who is My adversary and therefore devoid of all love …. Love will give a person the right realisation regarding the value and worthlessness of things, love alone is the counteracting force to the world, for anyone in possession of love makes contact with the Eternal Love and This becomes the goal of his wishes and cravings, the world will grow pale and no longer exert an attraction, the soul will receive more attention than the body, the human being will learn to overcome the world and live a meaningful and appropriate life on earth and need not fear a sudden recall either, for the soul will have found the path which leads to its true home ….
Amen

Awakening spiritual hunger ….
B.D. 5518 from October 27th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Spiritual hunger shall be awakened among people. This requires the offer of tasty morsels which precisely contain that knowledge which was ambiguous to the human being. Every person can be touched somewhere, every person has a specific question which occupies him and if he can receive an explanation to it he will also open his heart for further knowledge, and then it will be most successful if the teacher does not deny him an answer, if all concepts are known to him and clear enough so that he can pass his knowledge on to another person …. so that he can satisfy the hunger of someone who desires the truth. The desire for truth has not yet been awakened in the human race, people casually dismiss what is incomprehensible to them, they don’t desire clarification and therefore it cannot be offered to them either. But the reason for this can always be found in the fact that their thinking was not stimulated, that no samples were offered to them, that they were not impelled to express themselves, to clearly state their own thoughts; a question can be extremely interesting to them if it is asked at the right time and in the right way and the answer can be extremely satisfying if it is given by an authorised teacher who represents the pure truth and can pass it on. Then the desire for more knowledge will arise by itself in them, and only then can a famished person be nourished with the bread from heaven. An answer which betrays ignorance does not satisfy and can prevent people from wanting to find some kind of clarification; the pure truth, however, speaks for itself and therefore also to every person who wants to know it. And this person will always be offered the heavenly bread which is conveyed to him from above, he will no longer need to starve and live in want, he will always receive according to requirement and worthiness …. For enjoying the bread from heaven only requires the will to correctly revive the soul, it requires being receptive for what God’s love offers him. Therefore you should, as true representatives of God and His kingdom, always proclaim His Word, even if there is no desire for it as yet, for He Himself will bless you if you speak and you will experience this blessing, because the listeners will want to know more themselves, they will look for every opportunity where the divine Word is proclaimed to them. What you received through God’s great love yourselves must be distributed by you with love …. Then it will not fail to make an impression on your fellow human beings …. Then you will be promoting God and His kingdom and will render faithful vineyard work, for you are His servants, you should show the table of the Lord to those who want to eat and thus bestow good gifts; you should always proclaim the Word of God wherever the spiritually famished are sent to you, you should offer the bread of heaven to them and keep their spiritual hunger alive, so that time and again new nourishment will be requested for the souls who once have tasted the heavenly bread ….
Amen

Conveying the pure Gospel is necessary ….
B.D. 5519 from October 28th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The Gospel needs to be conveyed to people time and again in its purity, because this alone has the strength to change people’s will. The pure Gospel comes forth from God, it is His spoken Word to people, which will remain for all eternity …. However, as soon as it reaches imperfect people, they will either accept it in its purity and then live their lives accordingly or people will distort it according to their will, then it will lose its strength, for then it will no longer be God’s Word but people’s word instead. As long as the Word of God remains pure and unadulterated it will have a noticeable effect on people, since they will subsequently change their nature and consciously strive towards God …. If, however, the divine Word has been modified, people will remain the same, for they will have reshaped that which was intended to accomplish a change in line with their will and created something distorted, but which is still endorsed as God’s Word, which nevertheless is completely without strength. Therefore, God conveys the pure Gospel to earth over and over again, and He admonishes people to abide by it …. The pure Gospel is the divine teaching of love which Jesus, the man, preached on earth to His fellow human beings and which will always and forever remain the same teaching of love. But since love is no longer practised on earth, people do not understand the divine teaching of love, and in places where the Gospel is proclaimed, love for God and one’s neighbour is only preached as a side-line because, due to human influence, so many teachings and commandments were given to people that the fulfilment of these has become more important, but that the human being’s change of nature, the real purpose of life on earth, was no longer striven for and yet people believe that they are good Christians because they endeavour to fulfil the lesser commandments and teachings. For this reason the divine teaching of love as Jesus preached it on earth must be mentioned anew time and again, this preaching of love must be given to people in its purest form again so that they can feel the strength of the divine Word if they live accordingly and thus change themselves into love. Admittedly, Jesus’ divine teaching of love in its core can still be found if the human being accepts even the spoilt teaching with good will …. Hence anyone who always regards the commandments of love as the first and only important commandments and lives accordingly, will also soon brightly and clearly recognise the changes in the divine Gospel, and he will also understand why the pure teaching of Christ is repeatedly conveyed to earth again; he will understand that God constantly talks to people and imparts His Word to them in all purity, for anyone who lives in love is also permeated by the strength of love, anyone who lives in love will be educated by his indwelling spirit, and God’s infinite love is his explanation for the fact that He will do everything in His power in order to guide people into truth and to lead them to eternal life ….
Amen

Attitude determines the spiritual sphere and its work ….
B.D. 5520 from October 29th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Just as your attitude is, so are the beings who want to push themselves towards you and exert their influence on you. That is why you are in danger if you do not observe yourselves critically and follow impulses within yourselves which do not correspond to God’s will. You will then be harassed by those beings who want to entangle you ever more deeply in thinking and acting contrary to God. A short call for help is already enough for the beings of light to assist you and ward off the evil forces, for then your will to think and act correctly is evident. Your will alone decides the sphere in which you stay, and therefore a right harmony can only be in you when you only connect with the world of light, when you constantly send out good thoughts which are caught in the kingdom of light and sent back to you again for strengthening and spiritual advancement. It is your will alone which wards off when something disharmonious touches the soul, your will determines the thoughts, and your will draws light or shadow. And the tempter lurks around you and only waits for you to change your attitude in order to then influence you to think God-opposing thoughts and turn away from the one you should strive for. Don’t give him the opportunity to influence you, resist him by sending a short call upwards in every weakness of will, by turning to the father in the realization of spiritual hardship, Who will surely help you; resist him by calling upon Jesus Christ when you feel that you become weak and fear His afflictions. And know that every call you make will be answered, that God will not leave you in danger, because through your call you demonstrate your will to belong to Him, your father of eternity, Who loves you and Who will not abandon you to His adversary if only you turn your will towards Him. But always be vigilant and pray, for the tempter is always close to you and has an effect on you if you don’t resist him. Therefore surrender yourselves anew every day to the love and grace of the heavenly father, surrender yourselves to the protection of the beings of light looking after you …. Do not want to fall, and you will receive the strength to live and think as it is God’s will ….
Amen

Joint work from the spiritual and earthly realms before the end ….
B.D. 5521 from October 31th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Whatever can still contribute to the soul’s maturity in the last days before the end has been planned since eternity in My plan of salvation, which is meant for the spiritual soul’s return to Me. And even though the blessings are not utilized on earth, the souls in the beyond also benefit from them if they are willing, and I have also thought of these souls and again and again give them the opportunity to ascend. For I also foresaw from eternity the predicament these souls are in shortly before the end of earth, because countless souls leave earth immaturely and are now accepted by a dense dark sphere in the spiritual kingdom, where they would be helpless and abandoned if they were not offered help. To bring light into these dark spheres, to let sparks flash again and again, that is intended in My plan of salvation from eternity, and I also recognized from eternity that and how the willingness of earthly people to help is used to help these souls to the light. I have known about everything since eternity, and therefore everything will come about as it is predetermined, because I have known about people’s will since eternity and have also shaped My plan accordingly. For the souls can also work helpfully on people again from the spiritual kingdom if the former have gained a certain realization and can then also mentally convey this again to the people on earth who are now entrusted to their care. Connection between the souls has existed since the primeval beginning, and precisely this connection allows and guarantees a successful influence from earth to the beyond and vice versa. Work which was not completed on earth can still be done in the beyond and also lead to a successful result, because actually no limits exist, spiritually speaking, and yet it is spiritual work which is and shall be done. And there are connections which are still unknown to people on earth but which are clearly recognized in the spiritual kingdom and spur them on to eager work. That is why it is often a great blessing when immature souls are called away from earth in order to attain a certain realization in the spiritual kingdom, which then enables them to progress and successfully work on souls entrusted to them, which still dwell on earth and are now more accessible to the instructions given to them by their fellow human beings due to the spiritual influence. Every person can attain faith if only he is taught in the right way, if the teacher knows how to win his trust, to overcome his resistance. But this always requires spiritual influence, the soul must first be touched by a strength of love which reduces its resistance. And this strength of love is often emanated by souls in the spiritual kingdom to their associated people and thus ensures the success of a person on earth who proclaims My gospel to the unbelievers. The connection from the spiritual kingdom to earth exists without interruption but it is particularly blessed in the last days because the work of salvation shall be continued on the souls which depart from this earth immaturely, and because the cooperation of spiritual beings and people signifies a redemptive work of greatest success which is constantly blessed by Me …. For the last days demand increased activity in order to separate the spirits …. in order to bring light to the beings of darkness and freedom and bliss to those who are of good will ….
Amen

Childhood of God only on earth …. further development in the hereafter ….
B.D. 5522 from November 1st 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The maturing process is always promoted by God, yet in the stage of free will the spiritual can also offer resistance, and then God’s will steps back and the human being’s will decides. If the human being’s development does not progress or even regresses, then the human being’s will has resisted God’s effort to help him progress, and then the spiritual substance in the human being, the soul, must also bear the consequences …. a state in the beyond which is adapted to the still undeveloped spiritual …. without light and without strength. Resistance to God is always a lack of light and strength, because light and strength emanate from God alone and resistance to God always means a rejection of His flow of strength of love. This state can certainly also be changed in the beyond, but again only by giving up resistance against God, that is, by willingly accepting what is also offered to him in the beyond, but likewise without coercion. But on earth a great grace of God has been disregarded, His loving help has been rejected, and understandably this has consequences which can never be entirely revoked, which is why an improvement of the state of misery can certainly be achieved in the beyond but the same will never be achieved as was possible on earth …. the childship to God …. Furthermore, it is not possible to arbitrarily return to earth again in order to make up for what was missed …. The human being’s free will has made a decision on earth, and life in the kingdom of the beyond is in accordance with it. Yet God’s great kindness and mercy helps all beings to become blissfully happy, and this bliss is possible in so many degrees that the being’s will is always taken into account. In order to attain a higher degree of beatitude a repeated embodiment on earth is not permitted, yet a soul, driven by love and its greater than great will to help, can request a re-embodiment from God in order to carry out a mission on earth which applies to the salvation of earth souls …. This also results in an increased degree of maturity which, however, has to be acquired through an extremely difficult earthly life. Moreover, the soul which now embodies itself on earth is already in a certain degree of light, so that one cannot speak of an ascent development of a still imperfect being which now wants to make up for what it missed through a repeated earthly life. For God also gives the soul the opportunity to ascend in the beyond, yet the conditions for ascent development must be different, because it left the granted allocation of grace, which earthly life as a human being was in itself, unused, because it failed in free will and therefore can only achieve beatitude under more difficult conditions. Countless spheres exist and countless degrees of beatitude …. All souls can become blessed and increase their degree of bliss through their own will. But the highest beatitude of a child of God remains denied to the soul which failed on earth, for it is possible to attain this degree on earth using God’s grace in free will …. The childship to God is the crowning of an earthly life which is led entirely according to God’s will, in most faithful love for God and neighbour …. childship to God is the heavenly father’s gift to His children who made use of earthly life to divest themselves of the last dross, who, through a right life of love during earthly life, become what they were from the beginning …. divine beings full of light and strength ….
Amen

"He who believes in Me shall live for ever …."
B.D. 5523 from November 2nd 1952, taken from Book No. 61
He who believes in Me will live for eternity …. These are My words which also gave rise to divisions because the spiritual meaning was not properly recognized. I demand faith in Me in order to be able to give people eternal life …. But what is meant by faith? Not the confession with the mouth, not the intellectual acknowledgement of My act of salvation, but the inner conviction of the truth of everything I taught you humans on earth is to be understood by ‘faith’, and this inner conviction can only be gained through love …. Thus faith also necessitates love, and thus love is the first thing. But it is also fulfilled by those who believe in Me such that I can grant them eternal life. Right faith therefore promises life because it includes love within itself. But intellectual faith does not lead to eternal life, and it is this intellectual faith which can still be found amongst people if need be but which I cannot evaluate such that it brings the human being eternal life. I want a living faith which, however, can only be gained through love. For the human being only lives when he feels certainty in himself through love, a faith which is truly happy, which now determines his whole will and thinking and results in a way of life which earns him eternal life. To believe intellectually is no evidence of maturity of soul, for the human being may have been pushed onto christian ground through education, thus he cannot reject Me Myself, My earthly life as a human being and My act of salvation with conviction, he regards everything as true …. And yet, his heart need not be touched by it, it is an historical occurrence for him which he cannot deny but it is not felt by him for what it is. It does not touch his heart, which is only impressed when love comes to unfold in him. Then faith in it will trigger beatitude in him, then something will come alive in him, only then will the human being feel himself in the midst of My working on humanity, only then can he speak of faith which leads to eternal life. I certainly first require faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, because only through Jesus Christ is the path to eternal life, because faith in God alone is not enough due to the burden of sin, which cannot be redeemed without Jesus Christ …. Therefore I spoke the words, “He who believes in Me shall live forever ….” Mind you …. I, Jesus Christ, as redeemer of the world, demanded faith, but ‘faith’ is always only to be understood as living faith through love, which is why people first have to fulfil the commandments of love which I gave to people in order to show them the path which leads to eternal beatitude …. But then they will also be able to believe and in this faith enter into eternal life ….
Amen

World turn ….
B.D. 5524 from November 4th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The turn of the world is imminent …. You humans do not know what this means, for a period of time is coming to an end which you do not believe possible. A new redemption period will begin under completely different conditions, an era will start which cannot be compared to the present one. A new world will arise, i.e., the earth will bear completely new creations, and people will be allowed to see these creations who still knew those of the old earth and enjoy God’s miracles which testify to His infinite power and wisdom and His greater than great love. Humanity is approaching the end, for only a few will be allowed to experience and enliven the new earth. For it presupposes a state of maturity of its inhabitants, because life on the new earth will also take a completely different form, because people on it will be in contact with the kingdom of blessed spirits such that they will be allowed to communicate with each other, they will be instructed and therefore have a high level of knowledge, which only mature souls can endure, and therefore a high degree of development is a prerequisite which only few people on the old earth will reach until the end. The time is approaching its end …. And since people are only on a low level of realization they do not believe and grasp this and therefore do nothing to attain higher maturity …. They also partly expect that a better time will dawn, that people will change and thus a spiritual turning point will still occur on this earth, because such an end as is imminent does not seem credible to them …. They do not want to believe what will irrevocably come …. It is about spiritual upward development, not about an earthly ascent, which seems to be the most important thing to all people. But spiritual development is neglected and therefore makes life on this earth pointless …. Therefore it will come to an end, even though it seems inconceivable to people that this earth should pass away …. The state on earth has become intolerable, a darkness has spread over the earth which is almost impenetrable, the earth has become unsuitable as a schoolhouse of the spiritual and must therefore be changed so that its actual purpose will be fulfilled again. Where a tiny spark of light can still shine there is also a connection to the spiritual kingdom, and this connection will remain even if the earth passes away in its old form, i.e., this light will also be allowed to shine on the new earth, it will be taken over to the new earth because it already shone above the earth, as it were, and thus cannot be touched by its destruction …. People who seek intimate contact with God will survive the end of this earth, they will be raptured and brought to the paradise of the new earth because they will no longer be held back by the heaviness of earth but will find support in the spiritual kingdom during the last difficult days which still await the earth. These, then, will experience the spiritual turning point, but in a different form than people imagine …. Everything will be transformed, every work of creation will be dissolved and the spiritual bound in form will come to progressive development again in a new form on the new earth. Creations of the most glorious kind will delight the human eye and an indescribable rejoicing will sound from the lips of those who are honoured to see the new creations and compare them with the old ones on this earth. And come as it is proclaimed, the earth will pass away in its present form but it will arise anew and testify to God’s wisdom, omnipotence and love to the human race which comes forth from the best of this earth, from those who recognize God, love Him and remain faithful to Him in the time of the most difficult battle of faith which will precede the last end …. You humans stand before the turning point of the world …. See to it that you experience it in the strength of faith and the light of knowledge …. See to it that you are among those who will be taken from this earth to bear witness to God’s power and glory on the new earth …. Stretch out your hands to Him that He may save you from darkness, that He may fetch you to Himself into His kingdom, where He will again set you new tasks …. To glorify Him and His name, Who rules the world from eternity to eternity ….
Amen

Proclaiming the gospel in times of need ….
B.D. 5525 from November 5th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
And when you see the hardship around you, which will increase the closer the end is, then eagerly fulfil your ministry to proclaim My gospel, to give comfort and courage to your fellow human beings and to awaken the living faith in them. For as soon as they have faith they will also become masters of adversity, as soon as they have faith they will be helped …. But first preach love to them, for this alone leads to faith, and living faith is a strength which overcomes everything. The adversity will approach all people, albeit in different ways, for I want to rouse all people from their state of inactivity, I want them to awaken from their sleep of death and recognize what lies ahead of them. Everyone will be touched by My hand which wants to save him, and only those who have completely fallen prey to My adversary, who have hopelessly turned towards him, will be left out by Me, for standing under My adversary’s influence they will remain completely untouched by My warning voice which they could hear everywhere if they opened their ear. Yet many are still undecided as to whom they should turn to. I still want to win them with your help. But those who are then still too weak and in danger of the adversary gaining power over them, I will call them away in order to stop their complete fall into the abyss …. Whatever you humans will experience, they are all means to save the lost person …. And you should vigorously help and work for Me and My kingdom …. You, too, will need much strength, and you can draw it at any time if only you turn to Me in faith, if you let My word speak to you, if you are willing to serve Me …. For I need you in the last days before the end, and I will truly not let you become weak and powerless as long as you want to participate in work which is extremely important and necessary in the coming time. Therefore, only see the confirmation of My word in the adversity around you and believe that you are always assured of My help where it is necessary to carry out a work of salvation for which I only have a few helpers. There is only a short time left until the end and much shall still be achieved in this short time, which is why I have to help with unusually harsh means in order to still save those who are of good will, in order to save them from an infinitely long stay in the abyss, but which is the lot of those who resist Me and are in bondage to My adversary ….
Amen

Spiritual hardship greater than earthly …. The adversary's activity ….
B.D. 5526 from November 6th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The spiritual adversity is far greater still than the earthly one, for people no longer know the truth and every error is an obstacle towards ascent, every error is spiritual standstill or even regression, for error is My adversary’s work in order to obstruct the path to Me, in order to make it impossible to find. Every error reinforces his power and provides him with new opportunities to spread darkness across the human race. Everything is an error which contributes towards complicating the realisation of Me, everything is an error which prevents people from seeking and finding contact with Me …. It is My goal and intention that people shall unite with Me, that they long for Me and seek to satisfy this longing of the heart …. My aim is to gain My living creations’ love …. Anything that contributes towards this is good and never My adversary’s activity. However, anything that prevents people from finding this contact with Me, anything that diverts their eyes from Me is My adversary’s doing. And thus you can easily recognise him in everything you are offered, be they spiritual doctrines, messages from the spiritual kingdom or events of any kind …. You must always try to realise what is intended by this …. And if it leads you away from Me and towards the world or if it impedes your heartfelt bond with Me then you will also know that it is My adversary’s work who tries to push you humans away from Me. He also uses means which are intended to feign My activity, he does not shy away from seemingly working for Me in order to convince the gullible, who do not recognise him and accept what he offers them. People’s gullibility encourages his activity, for they accept anything without serious scrutiny at the slightest occasion which requires their faith. That is how cunning he is, to seemingly strengthen the faith and yet to divert it into the wrong direction …. The truth is constantly sent to Earth, it is constantly conveyed to people and yet, the worst errors and lies are far more likely to be accepted than just a glimmer of truth, which would enlighten their spiritual state. My adversary, however, stands on solid ground, he stands on ground which people themselves have made firm and tenable …. My adversary works where people believe they are entering My territory. This, too, is his cunning, which can only be exposed again through the pure truth which I send to people through My Word. Yet this, My Word, can only enter with great difficulty where My adversary has carefully closed all doors. And people themselves support My adversary and uphold his power …. This is why the spiritual adversity is so indescribably great and yet cannot be forcibly eliminated, because the human being has to strive of his own free will to enter the light, then he will soon be illuminated and the ground beneath My adversary’s feet will begin to falter. Nevertheless, without the truth spiritual hardship cannot be reduced, for the truth teaches love, but anyone in possession of love will also recognise the adversary’s activity and release himself from him, given that his love also gives him the strength to escape from him, since due to his love he establishes unity with Me and thus I support him by imbuing him with light and strength ….
Amen

Convinced confess in the struggle of faith ….
B.D. 5527 from November 7th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
If you want to be true confessors of My name you must also have deeply penetrated My teaching of love; you must know that love is the first and most important thing, that love wants to be practiced in order to then also gain the strength to stand up for Me and My teaching. For only love recognizes Me, only through love does the human being gain the conviction that I am God and redeemer, only through love does faith come alive, and this living faith will then stand up for Me without fear. The confession of My name will be the crowning of the battle of faith before the end of this earth, and this confession is also your victory …. But who can confess Me with conviction before the world? Not only will your confession with your mouth be demanded but this confession will cause you great earthly adversity and tribulation, you will have to sacrifice much if you want to remain faithful to Me, for conditions will be imposed on you, sacrifices will be demanded of you which only someone who has accepted Me into his heart, who is so intimately united with Me through love that he feels My presence and this presence also gives him the strength and certainty to represent Me before the world even at the loss of everything he earthly possesses. This is a great test of faith which only few will pass, for the adversity in the last days is great and only those who are firm in faith and serve with love will not pay attention to it but firmly trust in the lord’s help. But then I will also obviously dwell amongst people who want to prove loyalty to Me and yet are weak in view of the inhuman action against the rightful confessors of My name. And then the weak one will also be permeated by My strength, for I recognize his will and therefore help him in every spiritual and earthly adversity. I will always and constantly be amongst My own if they mention My name in faith, but I will also be visible to their earthly eyes where faith and adversity dictate it, for I want to help My own and will not let them fall into the hands of their enemies without protection. Many who still believe to be good christians and representatives of My teaching will lose the courage to confess, for they are threatened by the measures of earthly power and are not firm enough to resist because they are not strengthened by love, because they only intellectually observe the course of events but are not inwardly united with Me. And in this adversity, which becomes ever greater, I descend to earth with great splendour and glory …. to help My own now, to snatch them away from their oppressors and reward them for their faithfulness by leading them to a place of peace and bliss …. If the battle of faith will flare up so fiercely that people will be forced to take a stand, My coming is to be expected every day. For I have given you the promise that I will shorten the days for the sake of the elect, to shorten their suffering and to give them the reward for the faithfulness they have shown to Me and My word …. I come to redeem you from all evil ….
Amen

Persecution of the disciples of the last days ….
B.D. 5528 from November 8th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Just like My first disciples you will be severely attacked when the time comes that people will have to decide for or against Me. Then everyone who is for Me, who defends Me and My name before the world, will be treated with hostility and you will need much strength in order to be able to resist their demands to renounce Me and to revoke everything you upheld until then. All the same, you will not be afraid, for just as My disciples you will, permeated by My spirit, gladly confess who your Lord is, and you will always want to remain loyal to Me, and since you know of My might and strength you will not fear those who are certainly able to kill your body but are unable to kill your soul. And I will bless you for upholding My name, for admitting to your fellow human beings that He alone is your strength. Although you will be persecuted just like My first disciples you will not feel quite so distressed by everything the enemy of souls wants to inflict upon you …. it will bounce off you because you are protected by the shield of faith. And just like My disciples you will even then still win people over for Me, who are led to faith by your example and who recognise in My name a strength to Which they willingly entrust themselves …. And they, too, will receive the reward I promised to all those who believe in Me …. they, too, will reap eternal life and be admitted into the kingdom of light. But only those will openly profess Me who have found Me, who became enlightened by My Word, who attained a living faith through love and are also fully convinced that I will deliver them from all adversity of body and soul ….
However, anyone who has not attained this living faith prior to the battle of faith will easily relinquish it; he will be enticed by the world and thoughtlessly abandon what should be his highest possession on this earth …. he will relinquish Me because he never properly recognised Me. But you, My disciples of the last days, you shall stand firm, and the strength to do so will be given to you in abundance, for your will to remain loyal to Me also guarantees My help and My unlimited flow of strength. You can only lose your earthly life but even this will not come to an end until it is My will; but then you will exchange it with a glorious life in the spiritual kingdom. But you will not let go of Me again regardless of how much you are promised by the one who can indeed give you earthly wealth but not eternal beatitude …. You will certainly still have to battle on this earth yet victory is assured to you, for you will fight with Me and on My behalf, you will argue for My name and My teaching, you will argue for truth, for light, for your happiness ….
Amen

Love and faith are missing people …. proclaiming in love of success ….
B.D. 5529 from November 9th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
You humans only lack faith …. How differently you would look at the world, your earthly life and your task on earth if you could believe with conviction in Me, Who called you and everything in the universe into being. You would consciously put life behind you, you would feel guided by Me and you would know everything brightly and clearly, because through faith you would also be able to attain wisdom. For faith has love as its companion …. Faith without love is inconceivable, and the fire of love also kindles the light of wisdom. True life can only arise in you if you have gained true faith through love. But you humans lack love and therefore also faith …. And you are dead in spirit, you certainly live on earth but you live in spiritual darkness and your earthly life does not earn you any success. For only spiritual success is valued, since every earthly success is void with the death of the body. Spiritual success, however, can only be recorded through love and faith …. You humans are in appalling poverty, and if you don’t change you will also enter the beyond as miserable, where you will also feel it as torment, because nothing else will deceive you about your miserable state. And even then you can only awaken to life through love and faith …. In the beyond you will again be presented with what you should believe, but just as on earth you will reject it as long as you are without love. Love, however, can only be awakened through love, and you can now appreciate the hardship of the souls in the beyond who are not followed by love …. These souls can only be brought to faith with unspeakable difficulty, and an unspeakably long time can therefore pass before this is achieved. But all beings in the beyond and people on earth will always be told what they should believe, and now the degree of love of those who proclaim the gospel determines to what extent it will be accepted, whether and when it will be accepted. That is why you bearers of My teaching of love must be in love yourselves if you want to be successful. What you offer in love does not arouse the will to reject as much as what is only offered schematically without any personal emanation of love from the giver to the receiver. But if you yourselves are aware of the value of what you want to hand out, you will be inwardly urged to give the same to your neighbour, and this ray of love already ignites in your fellow human being’s heart and can make it receptive and willing. In all love try to persuade people to believe in a God and creator of eternity Who, as father, seeks contact with His children and wants to win their love …. Speak of My infinite love for people and thus also try to kindle love in them, and people will also be able to believe and only win if they accept what you offer them. And if you yourselves exemplify a life of love to them so that they will emulate you and now practice love themselves, then their faith will also become a living one and their work on themselves will be successful, for then they will also be permeated by the strength of love and faith, and they will live and never ever lose life again ….
Amen

God Himself as teacher …. truth – light ….
B.D. 5530 from November 10th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Much light shines into your hearts if you let yourselves be taught by Me …. This is what I say to all who accept My word sent to you directly from above if it is offered to them. Nowhere can you receive the same wisdom which enlightens your thinking, no-one can give you the same knowledge unless he has received it from Me first. For only I can impart the pure truth to people, and those who receive this word of Mine can consider themselves fortunate, as can those who receive it indirectly through My messengers whom I instruct Myself. Everywhere in the world people teach, everywhere people try to acquire knowledge through study, everywhere such knowledge is passed on from person to person …. But who guarantees that the knowledge corresponds to the truth? This refers to knowledge for which no earthly evidence can be produced but which is nevertheless the most important thing a person should know and which he can therefore, because it cannot be proven, only believe …. Yet even what is required to be believed can be error, and therefore the source should be sought precisely for this knowledge, as it has its origin …. the eternal truth itself should be approached for it, Who alone can distribute it. But where is the faith still to be found amongst people that the eternal truth reveals itself to people? And because this faith is lacking, all other paths are taken rather than this one …. to call God Himself for the right knowledge, so that I can now also distribute it. Nevertheless, I convey My word to earth and thus, as it were, bring My pure truth to every person with the urgent request to accept and evaluate it …. I only want to give you humans something good for which you cannot find a substitute if you reject My gift. For no other knowledge can enlighten you so extensively, thus no other knowledge brings you the light which can fill you with such strength. To be knowledgeable means: to have knowledge about yourselves, your origin and your aim. Knowledge of the connection of all things will make you happy, for ignorance is like deepest darkness, which oppresses you and makes you unfree. But light is bliss, light is life …. And once you are in the light it can no longer be taken away from you, for the knowledge of the pure truth is a gift from the father Who loves you …. But you should also gratefully receive His gifts. Again and again I will offer you the light, that is, the knowledge of the pure truth is inexhaustible and will be given to you as long as you sincerely desire it. I Myself am the light of eternity and also want to permeate everything that has emerged from Me with My light of love …. You should all be filled with My wisdom and be able to create and work in bliss …. But therefore you must also be able to control the area in which you are to work as precisely as possible …. You must know about all correlations and also let your will become active accordingly. Wrong information also lets you think and act wrongly, right information, on the other hand, lets you work in wisdom again. And therefore light will constantly be conveyed to you so that you can act correctly, so that it will have a beneficial effect on yourselves and your surroundings. You must know your beginning and your aim yourselves so that you will also help your fellow human beings to the final aim who are weak and dependent on your help ….
Amen

Spiritual reception – mind work …. worker in the vineyard ….
B.D. 5531 from November 11th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
It is a blessed beginning to place your strength into My service, for as soon as a person offers himself to Me for My service he will also constantly enjoy My protection, then he will always carry out My instructions because there is no longer any resistance in him against My will. Complete subordination of his will to Mine is the first condition for him to be regarded as a servant of Mine, for resistance against My will drives him a different path than the one I show him. My will is to bring the truth to people …. therefore anyone who completely enters into My will is suitable to receive the truth from Me and pass it on to his fellow human beings. Anyone who has no will other than Mine cannot grasp any thoughts other than those which are entirely within the truth. This realization would be a sure means for you to check whether truth is offered to you or not …. But often people are not clear themselves how far they subordinate their own will to Mine …. they are still too much active with their intellect and then let their own will emerge, and then they are no longer suitable to receive and spread truth. They observe themselves too little and are therefore not aware that they do not ‘receive’ but produce themselves, that their intellect works where the heart should receive. And thus it can be explained that people who are considered to be in My service are given the pure truth …. but who do not find the right attitude towards Me, who let their own thoughts gain the upper hand, who certainly also work in the same direction of thought but who, as it were, are active as writers and exploit the thought material which they have made their own spiritual property. Such intellectual work will never have a detrimental effect on fellow human beings because such a person’s thinking has already taken a right direction …. on the contrary, such intellectual work can also exert an educational influence on fellow human beings, it can be recognized as strengthening and awakening faith and will never incur My displeasure. For the human being works for Me and in My spirit. Therefore I also bless his activity and value it as the work of a servant in the vineyard of the lord. It is free work for Me and My kingdom but nevertheless not the fulfilment of a mission which is assigned to the person who has offered himself to Me for service …. For such a mission requires unconditional subordination of the will under Mine, it requires that the human being completely renounces his own will and only wants to do what corresponds to this mission …. Thus he allows My will to flow completely into his own …. Only such complete devotion can bring a work to fruition which I recognized as exceedingly beneficial and important but which has to be done by a human being in free will, because people’s free will is taken into account. It is not an easy task as long as the world still has an effect on the human being, but it can be accomplished if the bond with Me is stronger than the bond with the world, if the human being surrenders to Me without restriction, if he no longer achieves anything for himself, neither recognition nor earthly compensation; if he only wants to serve the pure truth and puts spiritual work before every other activity …. if he is seriously willing to be a faithful servant to Me. Then I am his constant companion, then I Myself assign his daily work to him, then there is no longer any thinking and dividing of his own for him, then his thoughts are inspired by Me Myself, then he no longer bears responsibility for his actions because My will determines him, yet not under compulsion but in fullest agreement with his will, which he has freely subordinated to Me through his serving devotion to Me. Then the mission can be fulfilled on his part, then he is the organ through which I express Myself, and he now receives and spreads purest truth, for all opposing forces are silenced as soon as he has consciously entered into contact with Me, as soon as he is willing to receive My word, because it is his mission to be a mediator between Me and people, to give them what they need but which I Myself cannot hand to them so as not to force their faith. Anyone who makes himself available to Me for this mediator’s office is then also My representative on earth when he speaks for Me and My name. And thus what he receives is also directly from Me, intended for all people, and if I want to provide all people with the pure truth, because they need it exceedingly, I will also ensure that it can reach them unadulterated, which is only possible if My servant and co-worker on earth always desires the truth and appeals to Me for protection from error. Then I Myself will stand by his side as protection, because I Myself will then be desired if the human being desires the truth ….
Amen

Doubt …. elevated truth …. light …. shadow ….
B.D. 5532 from November 14th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Again and again you will doubt the truth of what you should represent as My word to your fellow human beings. You will doubt as long as you yourselves have not yet reached the perfection which enables you to see brightly and which would chase away all doubts. But you can only mature through your doubts insofar as your desire for truth becomes ever stronger and you therefore also desire the one Who is the eternal truth Himself. A person who is completely self-assured, who believes he cannot err, does not strive for more but is content with what he possesses …. and he falls back …. Admittedly, it demonstrates strong faith if a recipient of My word from above is convinced of the truth …. but even the most devout person is only a human being …. the most devout person is still connected to earth as long as he lives on earth and thus exposed to the influx of the earth-bound, which wants to contaminate what is pure. And these currents also touch his intellect from time to time, and then quiet doubts set in which, however, can quickly be chased away through a believing call to the one Who is truth Himself. They are shadows that want to darken the light that shines out into the night. And as long as there are forces which fight against the light because they cannot tolerate it, the human being is not safe from their influence either, yet only to the extent that he himself is truthful. This is why the person striving for truth will inevitably arrive at the truth, and even a doubt will only result in the truth becoming ever clearer and defeating every doubt. No human being will be able to say that the truth is unattainable for him as long as he lives on earth …. then you would not have received the promise: “I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth, and he will guide you into truth ….” The truth is not inaccessible to you, it can come into your possession if you are serious about possessing it. For God Himself is truth, and He gives Himself to all who desire Him …. He wants His creations to stand in truth, because only through truth can they become what is His will …. His children. Hence He will also supply them with the truth and also give them the inner certainty that it is the truth which is offered to them. And even the doubts which arise serve to recognize the right truth and to hold on to it all the more firmly because it gives light which makes the human being happy ….
Amen

Fullness of the divine power of love could be received by every human being ….
B.D. 5533 from November 14th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
My strength of love can flow through you in infinite abundance but you can also go through earthly life completely empty, and both lie in your will …. to be powerful already on earth or, if your will is not meant for Me, to be dependent on the supply of strength from below which, however, only has an earthly material effect, thus does not secure you any spiritual ascent. It is up to you in which state you stay on earth and also leave earth in the end …. The kingdom of light can open up to you immediately after you have left your body, because your soul is permeated by My strength of love and immediately finds admission into the kingdom of beatitude. For if My strength of love can already flow through you on earth it means that it has spiritualized itself during its earthly life, that it has reached the aim, which is the purpose of its earthly existence …. to have overcome everything which prevents the union with Me and consequently to have shaped itself into a vessel into which My strength of love can flow uninhibitedly. Thus I Myself am present in such a soul, since My emanation of strength proves Me Myself. You can now receive Me Myself in all fullness within you …. Consider this saying …. You could also become what the man Jesus became if you were equally filled with the love which the man Jesus felt for Me and His fellow human beings. But you humans on earth will not muster the will which the man Jesus mustered and which, again, had its foundation in the overwhelming love …. And yet it would be possible, for He, too, was a human being like you, and furthermore, He offers you His support if you have the serious will to achieve the aim set for you. But who will make the test and ask Him for such a victory? You could be strong, the elements would have to obey you and all the powers of heaven would be at your disposal if you wanted to work unusual things for the salvation of your fellow human beings; you could truly perform miracles and be completely permeated by divine strength if only you would completely shape yourselves into love, which means that you would like to receive Me Myself through love into you so that I could work in you with My strength which now completely fills you …. You humans go through earthly life suffering, weak and anxious and could instead courageously and powerfully and with your head held high control everything that is creatively subject to you. You could truly be the masters of creation and everything would have to obey you if only you had established divine order within yourselves, if only you would once again develop the love which was your nature in the beginning. You have renounced all strength because you have given yourselves over to love, and thus you are often still inferior to the creature which your will is unable to control. But if you want it, the powers from below are also at your disposal, but not for your own benefit but only for your ruin. You need not be powerless, for My strength is always at your disposal, yet in order to receive strength from Me and to be permeated by it, love must be in you, because My strength of love can only effectively touch a creature which has become love, so that it feels strong and powerful. Love is the strength, and love acquires the strength …. The strength is Me Myself, and love attracts Me Myself …. You could receive My streams of love in all abundance and then feel like children of the father, to Whom all power is given in heaven and on earth. No human being is denied this power, yet whether he attains it in earthly life is up to him. But the man Jesus has proven that love alone shapes the human being into a receptacle for divine strength of love, which He allowed to flow into Himself in abundance, and therefore I Myself was able to work in Him so that nothing was impossible for Him ….
Amen

Participation in the redemptive work of Christ …. following Jesus ….
B.D. 5534 from November 15th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
You humans should all make it your business to participate in Christ’s act of salvation, for countless souls are bound which you can help to liberate. You can all participate in Christ’s work of redemption, you can all help to redeem what is bound, for this is possible in so many ways …. But the most important thing is that you first believe that Jesus Christ is the divine redeemer Who took all your sins upon Himself in order to bring you deliverance. And now you must also try to transfer this faith to your fellow human beings, to all souls which are unbelieving and therefore remain bound and in satan’s power. Everyone who believes in Him as redeemer also calls upon Him, and His redemption is assured …. But without faith in Him the soul will not find a way out, it will not find a saviour who will bring it deliverance. Now every person who believes himself also knows about the significance of the act of salvation, and he should also impart his knowledge to the unbelievers. He will be assured of success if he himself represents the divine saviour by following Jesus, i.e. if he makes an effort to live Jesus’ life, if he himself observes the commandments of love which were given to people by Himself in Jesus’ teaching. If he lives in love he proves himself to be a true follower of Jesus and a representative of His teaching, he proves himself to be redeemed by Jesus’ love and grace, and now he can also advocate Christ’s act of salvation with conviction, he can point his fellow human beings to the blessings acquired through Jesus’ crucifixion and thus help them to avail themselves of these blessings and become free from their bound state, from a state without light and strength and therefore a state of wretchedness. You humans can contribute unspeakably much towards the souls’ redemption, for you can also lovingly present the gospel to the souls of the departed, you can also show them the path they have to take in order to emerge from their wretched state. You can also point them to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and awaken in them the will and desire to be accepted by Him, to confess their sins to Him and to appeal to Him for forgiveness …. Everyone who believes wants to transfer his faith to the unbeliever, and even if he does not always succeed he will nevertheless be able to demonstrate many successes, and his work for the spiritual kingdom will not be in vain. For he will always find support from the beings of light, who are likewise responsible for the redemption of the bound and who, in their love, will not tire of leading the beings to Jesus Christ so that they will find redemption from their torment ….
Amen

Satan's activity ….
B.D. 5535 from November 16th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The demon from the underworld tries to slip in everywhere in order to spread hatred and instigate confusion, and he uses every available opportunity offered to him. He stirs up trouble between people, he sows discord and strife, he uses lies and thus deprives people of the peace they need in order to find God …. For he, who is God’s adversary, wants to prevent this. And his influence may be powerful if people are not on their guard and instantly turn to God once they notice his approach. One thought upwards is already enough in order to offer him resistance, because his power will be broken where God’s power is made use of. He detests it when a soul is at peace and tries to interfere with it because then all other attacks are easier and successful for him. You humans have no idea how hostile he is towards you, how he hates everything that strives towards God and that he will never tire in order to make you fall …. He is incapable of achieving anything as long as you live in love, this is why he tries to stifle the love in you first, he tries to inwardly agitate you and to spread poison, to awaken degrading thoughts about your fellow human beings and keeps stirring where his thought has been kindled in you …. He is dangerous in his heartlessness, his hatred causes immense harm, and you must always be on your guard and nip the first unkind feelings in the bud by calling upon Jesus Christ to release you from his control. He fears this call and therefore tries to confuse every clear thought in you …. everything that makes you restless and nervous in the world is his influence in order to confound your thoughts, because then he will find good ground for his evil seed. You humans should always bear in mind that the battle between light and darkness happens all the time and that this battle is waged in order to gain you. If you therefore consciously take God’s side, the adversary will lose …. yet on your own your strength you will fail, because he will be stronger than you if you don’t make use of God’s strength through your call for help. Don’t allow yourselves to be disturbed by fellow human beings, by events, by thoughts or experiences …. Deal with every restless thought by sending an appeal to God and peace will return to you, for then you will be able to resist every temptation, because your peace in God is a weapon you can use in order to displace the adversary. Take refuge in the One Who is stronger than all tempters together. Offer God’s adversary no reason to triumph over you …. but always remember that, on your own, you are too weak to offer resistance but that you can achieve anything with God, Who will let no call go unheeded ….
Amen

Will to help and work of the beings of light ….
B.D. 5536 from November 17th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Untold opportunities have been created to help the souls, on earth and in the beyond, who are still dark in spirit and therefore wretched. The light beings’ activity includes helping imperfect souls on earth or those who had entered the spiritual kingdom in an imperfect state. Their every effort is dedicated to the redemption of the spiritual essence, to transmitting light into the darkness, be it on earth or in the spiritual kingdom. And since the acceptance of light cannot be forcefully achieved, the souls have to be confronted by events which stimulate their will to become active in some form or other. Hence they are, so to speak, providentially urged to express their will. They are approached by beings from the spiritual kingdom or by people on earth who inspire them to become mentally active, and every influence can lead to the soul’s favourable change of will resulting in spiritual maturity. Therefore, everything that confronts the human being on earth can be suitable in achieving this. With the right attitude his whole life on earth can serve a human being’s spiritual progress, and individual events can activate this said right attitude towards God, and then the person’s earthly life will have resulted in his redemption.
But, likewise, the soul can also expect to be influenced in the spiritual world by the beings of light, who continue the task they did not succeed in doing on earth. The soul will also be mentally influenced in the spiritual kingdom since, irrespective of its environment, everything the soul encounters is for the sole purpose of stimulating its thoughts, so that it may become aware of itself and its wrong attitude and try to change. Thoughts are always kept active so that the being learns to recognise its own state and endeavours to change. Hints of that nature are also given by the beings of light who continue their work of salvation on the souls, because they are moved by their love to release them from their miserable state. Consequently, no person and no being in the spiritual kingdom is without support, only their efforts are not recognised as long as the soul is not aware of spiritual matters.
Very little is known about the relationship between the spiritual world and people, most people deny all contact and therefore do not utilise the knowledge gained through such contacts. And until then they will not believe that all events taking place in human existence are premeditated and can but need not lead to spiritual maturity, because it is up to every person himself to derive a benefit for his spiritual development from every experience. The souls in the beyond are likewise helped to ascend by the beings of light, yet always taking account of free will, because there, too, free choice for God or His adversary is the decisive factor for the soul’s higher development …. But no soul will be abandoned if it decides wrongly …. It will always and forever be fought for until it makes the right choice of will one day, until it voluntarily confesses to be with and for God, Whom it has to, and indeed will, find one day in order to be blissfully happy ….
Amen

God's blessing hand over those who want to help ….
B.D. 5537 from November 20th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
I am always present to you if you want to be active for Me and with Me. The will towards Me, the desire to be active according to My will, is also the guarantee that I will now take action Myself, that I will intervene Myself and that you can now act and speak under My guidance, and it will always be right. Let it be said to you that I will not let any power approach you as soon as you want to be at My will …. I only demand your will, and as soon as this is meant for Me I seize you and truly hold you so that you do not fall. And do you have a safer means than an impulse prayer to Me? A short call is enough if you are in danger and I will protect you from all attacks of the enemy of your soul …. But what will be more pleasing to Me than that you want to serve Me, than that you place yourselves under My will and consciously seek to live and work according to My pleasure? Everything you do in the spirit of love which demonstrates your love for Me and your neighbour, everything which testifies to your will to help is pleasing to Me and will always earn you My love and grace. And thus you can never think or act wrongly if your intention is to help, spiritually or earthly. But spiritual help is exceedingly necessary, and I have few people on earth who support Me in this work but whose support I need because help from the human side is always possible where My direct help, however, would restrict their freedom of will. I only have a few children on earth who want to be of service to Me, yet the spiritual hardship is overwhelming and requires loving help …. For this reason I will always hold My hand of blessing over you who have offered Me your help, who take care of erring people and also the souls in the kingdom of the beyond, whose salvation is also a work of merciful neighbourly love and can only be brought to them by loving beings. You should not trouble yourselves with doubts; as long as you only want to help, as long as you only have the will to distribute strength, to give enlightenment and to dispel the darkness in which the souls feel unhappy …. as long as you want to bring light, I bless you and your work and protect you from the attacks of the enemy, who will always be powerless where love opposes him ….
Amen

Wake-up call before the long night ….
B.D. 5538 from November 21st 1952, taken from Book No. 61
Wake up, you who sleep during the day, for a night of endless duration is approaching for you who do not hear this admonition. Then you will be condemned to inactivity, where you can still create and work and yet you do not use your strength …. Wake up, let the light of day shine into your hearts so that they will joyfully beat towards life. O hear My call which is meant for all those who keep their sleep of death, who are spiritually dead, even though they are still alive on earth. But soon this life of your body will also be over, and then the night will inevitably come for you from which no more awakening will come, whereas it is now still possible for you. You humans who only live for this earthly world, do you really believe that you became what you are now for the sake of your earthly life? Do you seriously believe that your creator and God from eternity only called you into existence so that you could animate this earth? Is this earthly existence enough for you or do you long for a life that lasts forever and makes you blissfully happy? How miserable is your existence compared to the true life in the spiritual kingdom, and yet you value it higher than this, otherwise you would only create and work for spiritual life. What hardship you will be in if this physical life is also taken from you …. You will enter the spiritual kingdom without strength if you have the grace to be called away before the end, yet you will remember the unused time on earth in endless agony and remorse, which could have earned you everything if you had striven for the most important thing, the rebirth into eternal life …. But if night falls upon you, if you are still alive, then woe to you …. then you will no longer be what you were before, then your soul will be dissolved and banished anew into hardest matter, and you will not be able to escape this dreadful fate, you will be bound again in a form which you have long since overcome, and you will have to travel an endlessly long path again until you once more attain your self-consciousness, a path which seems eternal to you …. It is the night from which there is no awakening, it is the time when you lie in the grave, dead and yet not past …. where you can no longer work according to your own will, where you lie in a sleep of death which you cannot end yourselves, whereas now you can still use your vitality if you want to become active, if you heed My wake-up call and escape the night which certainly wants to keep you imprisoned but which you can chase away if you open yourselves to the light which My love and grace lets shine for you. Rise up, you sleepers, and let it become day within you, let yourselves be warned of the eternally long night and do everything so that it does not take you by surprise, for the night is no human friend …. seek the light, come towards Me as the eternal light, and believe that eternal life awaits you where it is light and bright and where you need fear no more night for ever ….

Presence of God …. love ….
B.D. 5539a from November 22nd 1952, taken from Book No. 61
I am present in you …. This assurance is intended to prove My love to you, even though you are unable to grasp the full depth of what it means that I am with and in you. You certainly hear these words and also accept them in your heart if you are of good will and strive towards Me. Yet this proof of love you receive as a sign of My presence will remain incomprehensible to you, just as the awareness of carrying Me within you would crush you if you could understand what it means …. Your God and creator, your father from eternity, takes abode in a human heart …. Love in its full measure would certainly make it understandable to you, yet it would only ever trigger beatitude in the heart but still remain inexplicable to the intellect. My spirit, which fills everything in infinity, also flows through your body because otherwise you would not live on earth, yet the fact that it expresses itself in you, that it is perceptible to you, that it virtually manifests itself in you in the form of the word, that your will to love is able to grasp it, that it is and remains present to you as something of essence which knows all your impulses, with which you can hold a dialogue, which loves you with all its might and yet does not consume you with its strength …. this is a miracle you have never understood …. Therefore a miracle, because it cannot be grasped with human senses and yet can be undeniably recognized …. You humans can draw Me to you by virtue of your love and captivate Me …. and I let Myself be captivated by you because I love you and My love grants My true children everything they want. If they now desire My presence, then love for Me is also kindled in them, and then the miracle already takes place …. The highest and most perfect spirit of infinity bends down, He knows His child’s desire and gives it fulfilment; He allows Himself to be captured by love, because love always urges love and because love always gives and makes happy. I am present to you as soon as you open your loving heart to Me and want to receive Me …. And I will stay with you because love can never cease to exist once I have taken possession of My child’s heart, and because I will never give up what voluntarily gives itself to Me, and I will not rest until everything I have created is permeated by My love ….
Amen

Power of love ….
B.D. 5539b from November 23rd 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The strength of love is all-conquering. How gladly I would like to make you receptive to this most profound truth, yet you humans can only experience the effect yourselves through the exercise of love, and before that it remains incomprehensible to you that love can express itself as strength, and by virtue of his intellect the human being will never be able to explain and grasp this wisdom. The fact that all might and power is at My disposal is proven by creation and the ever-recurring works of creation which My will allows to come into being. But the power which has become active for this purpose is love …. and since you are My living creations, thus everything is in you which grasps My essence, you must also possess and be able to use this strength …. Yet it lies dormant in you, it has ceased to be active due to your past fall into sin, but nevertheless it is in you, since your being is the evidence of the strength of love resting in you. And you are free to unfold it again as it was in the beginning, and then you could create and work like gods according to your will …. But you leave it unused because your little realization does not contain the knowledge of the connection and because you yourselves do not fulfil your task to develop the strength of love within you into an all-conquering strength …. Your love is only an earthly love; it only ever turns to things which are transient, it has not yet entered the spiritual path where it only really comes to fruition …. it first has to be completely unselfish in order to be able to work as strength, and you humans lack this unselfish love, which is why you detach yourselves from earth with such difficulty, that is, your thoughts do not wander upwards into the kingdom which is still unknown to you but nevertheless your true home. However, as soon as the right love flares up in you you will also be able to penetrate that kingdom, then the strength will already start to work and it will become ever more effective the stronger it glows in you, and then you will accomplish things which seem to be beyond the realm of the natural to you humans and yet only correspond to your own nature. What could you humans accomplish if only you would change yourselves into love? Weak and powerless you let yourselves be driven by all events where you could intervene through love yourselves, where you could conquer everything by virtue of your love. All this is still incomprehensible to you and therefore unbelievable, yet if I tell you, you can accept it as truth and therefore only ever strive to develop the right, i.e. unselfish love, and you will very soon experience the effect yourselves, and nothing will oppress you any longer, because if you live in love you will be in contact with Me and thus nothing will be impossible for you anymore, because My strength is unlimited and is now also available to you without restriction. For I am love, the power Which accomplishes everything, and the union through love with Me also makes you beings which can accomplish everything according to their will ….

B.D. 5540 from November 25th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The sinner is forgiven through Jesus Christ’s death. The love of the human being Jesus took all the guilt of sin on earth upon Himself and atoned for it through His death. He paid the great debt with His blood, and every sinner can therefore receive redemption, provided he believes in Jesus Christ and His work of redemption …. Christ’s sacrificial death was therefore offered for the whole of humanity, yet only a few participate in it, only a few consciously avail themselves of the blessings which the man Jesus acquired through His death. And therefore redemption, the release from all guilt of sin, is always an act of free will and must also remain so, the human being himself must want to become free through Him, otherwise he cannot reach God Who embodied Himself in Jesus Christ. Faith in God is only an empty phrase as long as it is not proven. Faith in God also results in the recognition of one’s own relationship to God. Believing in God as the highest and most perfect being also reveals the great distance between oneself and God, and this distance must inevitably be reduced because it was not there in the beginning when the being was created perfectly by God …. And man recognizes himself as a ‘creature’ of God as soon as he pretends to believe in God …. And thus faith must result in the being striving towards God again, that it wants to enter into the relationship again in which it stood in the beginning. But it must also seek a reason in the distance between itself and God and thus come to the realization that it has created this distance itself through sin …. consequently want to become free from this guilt …. But since the guilt is enormous, because the sin was directed against God, the human being is not able to pay off this enormous guilt of sin in his short earthly lifetime. He has to accept help offered to him, help which the God-man Jesus wants to bring to him, Whom sinful humanity took pity on and Who therefore offered a sacrifice of atonement in His love for people in order to help them become free from guilt. Only through Jesus Christ, then, is freedom from all guilt possible ….
(25.11.1952) Therefore you had to pay off an enormous guilt because your past sin was directed against God Himself. God is love, and anyone who sins against love sins against God Himself, and he makes it virtually impossible for love to take care of him because it was previously rejected. Hence the path to God is simply an absurdity, because a being which voluntarily distances itself from God cannot reach God on this path …. understand this, you transgress against love and can therefore only find forgiveness if you acknowledge love and turn to it …. And therefore the man Jesus took this mission upon Himself to pay the tribute to eternal love, which proved His profound love for God and people to Himself …. Only through love could a guilt be redeemed which was directed against eternal love. For this reason, however, you humans cannot ignore Jesus Christ either, you cannot exclude Him, for you can only enable the return to God through love, but if you practice love you will also brightly and clearly recognize Jesus the man’s merciful act of love and acknowledge Him as your saviour, because love unites with everything that is love, and Jesus Christ was embodied love and thus accepted God Himself into Himself, Whose fundamental substance is love …. And thus God’s strength of love manifested itself in a human being, it took shape, as it were; the strength, which emanated into infinity, which is everywhere in the entire universe, the strength, which is to be addressed as God Himself, yet not visible to anyone as such, chose a form imaginable to human beings and radiated through it, so that God Himself was in the man Jesus, that He must be acknowledged as God, for His whole being was God because it was love, and only the external form was human as long as He dwelled on earth, until even after His crucifixion this form was permeated by God’s light of love and therefore was able to ascend into heaven transfigured and spiritualized, yet only visible to those whose souls already possessed a certain degree of maturity to be able to behold divine-spirituality without having to perish from it themselves. Divine justice had been satisfied, divine love had been reconciled through Christ’s crucifixion, yet without acknowledging Jesus and His act of salvation the human being remains irrevocably in sin, which separates him from God, and he can never become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Bridge from child to father ….
B.D. 5541 from November 26th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
I want to instruct you, I want to give you faith in My love, wisdom and omnipotence, I want to awaken in you a sense of responsibility for your souls, I want to reveal My will to you so that you live right and thus do for your soul what is necessary for it to live; I want to stimulate you Myself into loving activity in order to show you the right path you should take in earthly life …. I want to do everything for you that a good father does for his children whom He loves …. And that is why I give you My word, that is why I establish the connection with you humans on earth through My word as soon as there is the slightest possibility of gaining access to your hearts. I will not give you up eternally, yet according to the law of eternity I cannot give to you arbitrarily but only under certain conditions which must exist and yet are the result of you humans’ free will. And therefore My word can only be conveyed to you if you have the will to hear Me yourselves; you must want to build a bridge from yourselves to Me, then I will build it without delay, because I am pleased when My living creations long for Me. I do everything to awaken this desire in you, again and again I step in your way until you become attentive and long for My nearness of your own accord, and then I speak to you …. You humans can hear My word in many different ways, however, I always bring it close to you as soon as you desire it. Hence your desire for My word guarantees you the supply of it, and what is then offered to you is also My word, for then I will address you Myself by giving you understanding and the ability to judge in order to clearly recognize and eliminate human error. Only your desire for truth, for the word of God, is necessary in order to also receive My word …. and then you will receive everything …. teachings, admonitions, instructions and precise knowledge of My will, which is all I ask of you to fulfil …. For I want to win you over for Myself, thus I will truly only offer you that which leads you to Me, which shapes you such that you can stay close to Me. In this faith you can always unite with Me, then you will enter the bridge which I have built to earth, and then you can always receive from Me what is helpful for your soul. And then your earthly path will not be an idle one, at the end of days you will be able to look back on a blessed life, for your soul will be ripe for eternity ….
Amen

Relief of faith through the word from above ….
B.D. 5542 from November 27th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
The path upwards will truly be made easy for you through the transmission of My word, for it will confirm what is doubtful to you and you will learn to believe, providing you want to stand in truth. For you can examine and form an opinion yourselves and will always be supported from above that you think correctly. You will be given explanations through My word which are acceptable if you are of good will, explanations which give you light, the correlation of all things will be explained to you such that you will become enlightened, you will find a satisfactory solution by diligently thinking about it, thus you will be able to believe what you are offered, always provided that you are interested in the pure truth, that you seek it. For a certain faith is the first thing in order to consciously strive for the above …. Faith in an exceedingly good, wise and powerful creator Who is the father of you all and wants to be acknowledged. Only this faith determines your thoughts, intentions and actions, for as soon as you acknowledge a being above you, Whom you want to join, you also fulfil His will, which is now revealed to you through My word. But through My word from above the connection between Me and you is also recognisable, you have, as it were, living proof of Me and My love for you, and it is now easier for you to establish the connection with Me such that you also feel that I am present to you …. I have become a living concept to you through My word from above, I am no longer the alien God to you Who was indeed taught to you but was not so close to you that you could hold a living dialogue with Him …. You can already recognize Me in My word alone, and My word gives you the evidence of My love for you, so that you can trustingly turn to Me in every spiritual and earthly adversity. I Myself descend to you because you have distanced yourselves from Me to such an extent that you are no longer able to hear Me and your faith is dead and powerless. And therefore I want to help you gain a living faith, I want to make Myself known to you so that you consciously strive towards Me and take the path which alone leads to Me …. so that you fulfil My will, which is revealed to you as My will and which only consists of fulfilling My commandments of love. What comes to you from above is so clear and understandable that you cannot reject it if you are willing to experience the truth. Anyone who does not have this will will never believe in Me as God and creator of eternity, and he will also never seek a connection with Me because then he will also lack love. Admittedly, I also address him through My word, yet the resistance he still opposes Me also causes him to reject My word, and then he cannot be helped either. Yet I especially take care of those who are willing in the last days before the end, so that they will find the path to Me and thus also to eternal life ….
Amen

Redemption work …. success through love …. asking for blessing ….
B.D. 5543 from November 28th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
I will bless you for everything you do for Me and My kingdom, yet not for the sake of blessing shall your work be done …. Consider that only a right work of love can be successful and that the work of redemption can only be based on love, otherwise the redeeming strength is missing. Therefore, your work has to be done entirely unselfishly, even though I rate it as the highest achievement, because it concerns the souls of beings which languish in adversity without help. For people on earth are also unhappy beings as long as they live in spiritual darkness, except that they don’t recognize their state of misery in earthly life because they only pay attention to earthly things. But you can contribute a lot to give these people light, and I want to bless this effort of yours …. Nothing you do for your fellow human beings out of love shall be done in vain, for a labour of love cannot fade away forever, and even if it is not immediately successful the effect will not be absent, for in a shorter or longer time the human being’s soul will remember your love and make use of it. Nothing is lost that is born of love …. But you should always ask for My blessing so that your work will be more effective, because My blessing means a great help …. And I will never deny you the blessing, after all, it is My will that you shall be successfully active, and My blessing will rest equally on your activity as well as on yourselves, for the work for Me and My kingdom shall give you pleasure, you shall not do it with the feeling of having to carry a burden, you shall do it gladly and voluntarily, precisely because love shall impel you to do it, and I will repay your love with My blessing ….
Amen

A fair amount of measure of grace ….
B.D. 5544 from November 29th 1952, taken from Book No. 61
You shall receive a fair amount of measure …. I do not bestow My grace upon you sparingly but let it flow to you abundantly so that you can only ever appropriate it, so that you can utilize it for your upward development. Yet you should also value a gift which My love bestows upon you, you should regard it as a gift from your father in heaven Who wants to help you ascend through it, and you should make use of it because otherwise it will remain completely useless. And thus you should also regard My word as an extraordinary gift of grace which I bring to you in the last days through My disciples whom I have chosen Myself to serve Me. You should value My word more than anything else in the world, for it is a ray of love from the spiritual kingdom, it is something spiritual which shall touch you so that you, too, will become spiritualized while still on earth. It is truly a gift of immeasurable value, for humanity is so far away from Me that it no longer recognizes Me, but now it is given proof that I am closer to you humans than ever …. I address you Myself, therefore I must also be …. And you will feel that I speak to you Myself if you accept My word with good will …. My word is a grace of inconceivable effect and will infallibly lead you upwards, yet it does not force you, as all My blessings require your will in order to take effect on you. And therefore I can only admonish you again and again to accept My gift from above, not to pass it by or reject it when it is offered to you. And bear in mind that you are dependent on My grace because you are too weak on your own, bear in mind that strength and grace are at your disposal at all times and that you can release yourselves from your state of weakness if you want to …. But also bear in mind that you have free will and have to act of your own accord, that you therefore also have to make use of grace in order to emerge from the state of misery in which you live …. And if a person is completely ignorant I will give him enlightenment through My word, I will instruct him and show him all means, I will bring Myself close to him and stretch out My hand towards him …. but he must take hold of My hand and do what I ask and announce to him through My word …. Then he makes use of a grace of highest value and effortlessly achieves the aim set for him for earthly life …. He strides upwards and his soul frees itself from every fetter …. it becomes blissful through My grace ….
Amen
