Love 'He who remains in love remains in Me ….'
B.D. 5963 from May 21st 1954, taken from Book No. 65
In unity with Me you find your peace of mind. Your longing is satisfied as soon as you know yourselves to be as one with Me, if you have united with Me through love or heartfelt prayer sent to Me in spirit and in truth. Prayer is the will for unity with Me, activity of love, however, is the fulfilment, for ‘He who remains in love remains in Me and I in him ….’ Love is the most important …. and everything that is described as the maturing of the soul, the return into the Father’s house and eternal beatitude depends on deeds of love …. And if you always only keep these words in mind ‘He who remains in love remains in Me and I in him ….’, if you always only remember that I Am Love Itself, then you will consider the fulfilment of My commandments of love to be the most important thing, and then you will endeavour to live a life of love in order to be thereby eternally united with Me. Love is everything …. it is redeeming strength, it is light, it is the divine principle, the centre of eternal order …. If a human being exists without love then he has completely left this order, his thoughts and activity are completely in opposition to God, he is spiritually blind, that is, he is ignorant, and he is unredeemed in the hands of the adversary who wants to exclude him from all happiness ….
I Am Love Itself, heartlessness is My adversary …. and anyone who therefore desires to be united with Me, who wants to attain Me must live a life of love, for then I must also be with him, because love is and has been My fundamental substance for eternity. I certainly bestow unlimited blessings, I certainly grant you what you don’t deserve and don’t strive for by yourselves, yet all My gifts of grace only intend to achieve one thing, that you shape yourselves into love, for even if I would like to bestow everything upon you …. you would nevertheless remain dead without love, without love you would remain judged beings …. you would only ever remain My living creations but never ever be able to become My children. Only love can accomplish My living creations’ deification, only love can unite us, otherwise you will always just lead a miserable existence as isolated beings outside of Me. And this is why the first and most important commandment is to love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself …. And your spiritual state on earth as well as in eternity one day depends on your fulfilment of this commandment …. This is why I instructed My disciples to go into the world and proclaim My divine teaching of love to humanity …. this is why I Myself exemplified to people on earth a life of love and sealed My teaching of love with the death on the cross, which I suffered on behalf of My fellow human beings because of My greater than great love …. because I recognised their infinite hardship and wanted to help them.
And as long as you humans ignore these commandments of Mine you will be unable to achieve beatitude, no matter how profoundly you humble yourselves in the dust before Me, pleading for My mercy …. My love for you cannot be exceeded any more and I want to win all of you over for Me, yet My bliss only consists of your reciprocated love, and you must grant this to Me voluntarily …. And your appeal for mercy has to be based on your desire for Me because you love Me …. and because you realise how far-away you still are from Me. You must try to reach Me, you must want to achieve unity with Me, and therefore you must live a life of love yourselves or unity will never be possible to achieve. Consider the fact that with every deed of love you draw the eternal Love Itself to yourselves …. but that It cannot enter your hearts if they are still completely contradicting God’s fundamental nature …. You only unite with Me through love, and that is what you ought to bear in mind and seek to fulfil the commandment of love as the most important …. you ought to know that no human being can become blissfully happy without love.
Amen

Redeeming work for souls in the beyond in God's will ….
B.D. 5964 from May 22nd 1954, taken from Book No. 65
Put your trust in My Words and only believe that My love is watching over you and that I Am protecting you from all onslaughts by My adversary if you take refuge with Me during earthly and spiritual difficulties …. Your will also assures you My help and My protection. I only appraise your will, and according to this will you are either in My hands or in the hands of My adversary. If your will is directed towards Me and you desire to please Me you can also consider yourselves looked after by Me …. But if you want the world and its possessions then your will belongs to My adversary and then he has control over you which he, however, would never be able to have if you strove towards Me, if you look for and pray to Me in spirit and in truth.
Your faith is still weak, yet it will get stronger if you always just make the effort to live a life of love, and you will become increasingly more certain of the fact that My Fatherly love applies to all who are still unredeemed on earth and also pass away or have passed away unredeemed from this earth. All these souls suffer immense hardship and My love does not want to leave them in this adversity forever. And thus I create countless possibilities for them to escape their hardship but without determining their free will …. Nevertheless, I know every individual person’s will and that of every soul in the beyond. I know when they are ready to take the path to Me, and I let you humans participate in the redemptive work, since there is a tremendous amount of work to be done and every individual soul should be offered the opportunity to give up its resistance and turn towards eternal salvation.
Consider the immense number of souls which are still distant from Me, which have no faith and whom I therefore cannot approach because they don’t believe in Me …. I constantly endeavour to provide these souls with the possibilities to come to Me by indirect means as well, and you humans can assist Me in this by taking care of these souls, by informing them of Me, because they are more likely to listen to you, providing they are at all willing to change their adverse situation. On the one side a regrettable lack of faith is evident, on the other side, however, a comprehensive work of salvation is taking place on the souls in the spiritual kingdom, because this work of salvation is mainly unsuccessful on earth. My adversary has great power over people on earth because they are too involved with matter and he tempts them with material goods. Many a soul in the beyond recognises the worthlessness of what it had pursued on earth because it experiences utmost poverty and darkness, and for that reason they can be more easily won over, if only their faith can be awakened in them ….
And I truly have many ways in which I implement things and which are hardly ever unsuccessful. The situation of these souls in the beyond cannot be described to you exactly, there will always remain a layer which prevents your view into the kingdom of the beyond …. Yet you can believe that I look after all souls and for their deliverance also involve you humans if a greater possibility for success is thereby assured. Anyone who wants to be of service to Me can certainly do so, and I will place him where his work will be successful …. But you must always believe in My greater than great love and mercy …. Then you will also understand everything and you will no longer doubt the task which I give you …. Then you will gladly be of service to Me and also be convinced that your work is beneficial …. you will participate in the redemption of countless souls from adversity and pain …. you will show them the way to light and beatitude ….
Amen

Awakened preachers ….
B.D. 5965 from May 23rd 1954, taken from Book No. 65
My Gospel is certainly proclaimed throughout the whole world, and yet people are still so very distant from Me because it is not presented to them in a lively enough way, consequently they do not feel the strength which My Word is intended to impart on them. Not the mere letter but the spirit gives people true life. My spirit has to be effective in the preacher, only then will he speak such that his listeners will feel addressed by Me, then they will also accept the strength which will give them life …. they will wake up from their former dream state and live their earthly life consciously by striving towards Me. As soon as awakened preachers are at work it can also be expected that an awakening will take place amongst the listeners, and only then will the proclamation of My Word be a blessing …. whereas the repetition of My Words alone will not meet with any response in people’s heart and thus they will bypass their ears without leaving any impression …. Hence, an awakened preacher is chosen amongst those who are called, who will never lack spiritual knowledge if he wants to pass it on to his fellow human beings …. For he receives from Me directly whatever he requires to work for Me and My kingdom …. He draws the water of life, which he wants to offer his fellow human beings, from the source, and he will indeed be listened to because the soul can sense that it receives My Word. The more intimately this proclaimer of My teaching is in contact with Me, the more lively he will be able to speak and, driven by My spirit, the more success he will be able to achieve, and this success will always consist of gaining souls which hand themselves over to Me, which have attained a living faith.
No lifeless preacher will be able to lead people into life, and preachers are lifeless as long as I Myself cannot be present in them, for then everything will only affect the human being’s sense of hearing, it will not touch the heart, they will just speak dead words without life …. it lacks the life-giving spirit …. Yet I know hearts everywhere which are aroused in love for Me, which know no other desire but to work for Me, and I can be present in such hearts aglow with love and thus speak to people Myself, who then listen attentively because they feel My strength, because they feel seized by a power they are unable to resist …. who have to love even if they previously had a hostile mind. It will surely be understandable to you that I …. if I speak …. will have to have greater success than when a mere person speaks, even if he speaks on behalf of Me and My kingdom as well …. But I can only speak through a human mouth whose heart has come aglow with love for Me …. His great love draws Me to him and I won’t resist such love …. I speak, and people feel themselves incapable of resisting Me, they let themselves be seized by My love and drawn to My Fatherly heart …. I can only express Myself through the mouth of an awakened person, and if all My servants on earth were awakened who proclaim the Gospel there would not be such great spiritual hardship amongst people, and I Myself would be able to address them Whom they truly would not resist for long. And I have called many to do so …. Yet only a few can be chosen as My instruments by Me, as shells in whom I can embody Myself, through whom My spirit can speak and My strength be transferred onto other people …. But wherever it happens there will be an obvious abundance of blessings, and My presence will not remain hidden from people who accept the Gospel due to their faith in Me Who, as Redeemer from death and sin, also wants to return their freedom to them again and therefore reveal Myself where My name will be avowed before the world ….
Amen

Healing the sick …. Signs and miracles …. Evidence of faith ….
B.D. 5966 from May 25th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
I know My Own and I know their will, and corresponding to this will I call them to work for Me and My kingdom. Hence the kind of activity in My vineyard as well as My servant’s nature differ, for everyone carries out the work which corresponds to his nature …. everyone serves Me in accordance with his ability, and I accept the service of anyone who is of good will and strives towards Me. Besides, human hearts are different too, thus the fields in My vineyard need to be treated in different ways and only I can make this judgment, Who knows the slightest stirring of a human heart which shall be used for a successful work of redemption.
I Am as recognisable in a storm as in the quiet rustling of a gentle breeze, the mightiest elements give evidence of Me and the softest breath bears witness to Me …. I Am always the originator, the source, the foundation …. Sometimes I Am barely discernible and at other times distinctly apparent but always recognisable by someone who wants to recognise and try to find Me …. And I always express Myself in accordance with people’s needs, depending on their adversity and their ability to change …. What can result in a complete change of will in one person may well leave no impression at all on another, on account of which he will need greater evidence of My existence, which will then be given to him by My love in order to save him. But I Am also present where no external signs confirm it …. I Am just as present in the heart of a person who bestows his love and will on Me, and I will influence him gently and quietly, for he will need no obvious proof of My presence, he will be aware of it and feel My nearness so clearly that he will have the heartfelt relationship of a child to the Father and thus already own everything he needs for his earthly way of life …. an unshakeable faith in Me and My love, which enable him to live in accordance with My will.
Where unbelief is so strong that Words alone will not suffice I will help with signs and miracles …. Yet this can also turn into a judgment for people if they lack the will to change themselves …. But the faith of the sick and unhappy merely requires an incentive in order to grow so strong that it will profess Me before the world …. Therefore I can reveal Myself in My might and glory to the sick and unhappy, for most of the time they have already been purged by their illness and their souls can recognise Me easier if I come close to them …. The sick don’t deny Me entry to their hearts, and if My Word is preached to them the effect on them is so powerful that the strength of My Word already has a beneficial effect, and they will be healed because they believe.
But unbelievers witnessing it and thereby gaining faith will first have to let it come alive through love …. And then it will depend on their degree of love as to how their faith will take effect, but their responsibility will be greater if an obvious demonstration of My working leaves them unimpressed, so that they will have to believe after their experience but won’t change their way of life as a result of their knowledge …. Therefore, don’t wish for too obvious a demonstration of faith, for then you will receive an extraordinary grace which will also oblige you extraordinarily …. But if they are bestowed upon you then make use of them and take advantage of this grace in order to achieve a higher degree …. in order to then also speak on behalf of Me and My name before the world …. in order to be loyal labourers in My vineyard, whom I will bless for working for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Hereditary sin ….
B.D. 5967 from May 29th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
Questions, which you would like to have answered, will have to arise in you time and again, then I can enlighten you as soon as you contact Me in heartfelt prayer and listen to what I say to you …. by regarding your emerging thoughts as My reply, if you are not addressed by Me directly through the voice of the spirit. Your desire and appeal to Me will ensure your correct thinking …. yet without Me you will not recognise the truth, without Me your endeavour for enlightenment will be futile, since without Me you will only have misguided thoughts which the powers from below will be able to convey to you …. precisely because you evade Me, Who is the provider of truth …. And thus listen to the following:
As long as you are not perfect you can only receive explanations in a descriptive manner …. You would never be able to understand the infinite profundity of divine wisdom, you would never understand the reasons for My reign and activity, since your imperfection also means inadequate power of perception, and thus you are unable to find an explanation by virtue of your intelligence …. but you will be able to receive it in a flash as soon as you are permeated by the light of My love in the spiritual kingdom. On earth you will need to receive descriptive clarification, the processes that took place in My creation can only be described to you in line with your ability of comprehension …. And thus the spiritual processes in the hearts of the first people can only be intelligibly explained to you along the lines of earthly processes which, however, are but a faint comparison …. simply because you are still weak in spirit yourselves …. You humans are constrained by laws of nature because total freedom, which you forfeited through your past apostasy, first has to be regained by you during your earthly life …. For that reason I imposed a limit on the first human beings’ will because I first wanted them to realise that they were subject to a Power and that they should voluntarily submit to this Power …. in order to then have their final freedom bestowed onto them. In the past they refused to acknowledge Me, which was the first sin, their opposition to Me from Whom they had originated …. Only voluntary acknowledgment could cancel this sin again. And I wanted to obtain this acknowledgment of Myself when I brought the whole of creation into being. As a result, the first human beings were endowed such that they could in fact recognise Me but were not compelled to do so …. And therefore free will had to make a choice which, again, should be tested against ‘temptation’ ….
People had to see something they desired, while a prohibition and an enticement at the same time had to prompt them into a decision of will …. but, understandably, the enticement had to be linked to a promise, which they were then supposed to resist …. The prohibition and the enticement ensued from two sides …. since they involved the return of the fallen spirits to Me and their stay with My adversary, i.e., My created spirits achievement of their goal or their fall into the abyss again …. Consequently, the people had to have the desire within themselves and be offered the opportunity to satisfy this desire …. or to overcome it for the sake of a far higher goal: for eternal bliss with Me, which surpassed this earthly fulfilment of desire a thousand fold. Since regaining the deserted spiritual beings was a battle between Me and My adversary he also had to have the opportunity to influence these beings’ will …. only that he feigned illusive values and illusive happiness so that people should forfeit true happiness and a blissful life in eternity …. I knew of this temptation and therefore gave the first people a commandment with a simultaneous warning of eternal death …. This warning should have sufficed in stifling every desire in the people in order not to die …. And My adversary convinced them of the contrary …. he promised them life …. But they recognised Me as the supreme Power and yet followed the lie …. and thereby brought death into the world …. But what was it that made their desire so powerful that they succumbed to it? ….
They lived a blissful life in paradise, they were masters over all created things; everything was subject to their will and they felt happy in full possession of strength and power. And as long as this love was intended for Me and the partner there was no danger either that the test of will would fail.
But My adversary knew how to turn this love in the wrong direction …. He reversed it into selfish love by making false promises to them and thus kindling their desire to obtain happiness for themselves …. Their love became craving, selfish and low, and thereby they once again handed themselves over to the power of the one from whom they should and could have delivered themselves had they valued My commandment more than their desire.
You humans ought to understand …. that the time for Me to bless the first human couple had not yet come …. Therefore they became sinful …. for nothing is sinful that fits in with My plan of creation, nothing can be a sin that happens in lawful order …. and the process of procreation can never be against the order ordained by God. Yet the satisfaction of the senses without the will to bring forth life is no act of divine love, but it is selfish love kindled by My adversary which draws the human being down and totally submits him to his control …. The first human beings had fallen victim to this wrong love, and this wrong love was the sin, which in turn related to the original sin of arrogance …. which did not want to give itself but possess everything, which was the inheritance of its maker …. but which has nothing in common with divine love ….
Divine love rests as a spark in your hearts and can ignite itself into brightest radiance. But My adversary’s goal was and is to reverse this love, and he has succeeded in doing so. What was pure and divine became soiled and changed into a love of self, which no longer merits the concept of ‘love’ and can only be called lust, selfishness and love of self, and which is also capable of doing whatever My adversary wants you to do …. And thus the act of procreation became a means for My adversary to turn countless souls towards him, which would never have been possible had it taken place with My blessing …. where the divine love of giving and bestowing happiness should find its culmination in the emergence of a new life …. Hence the original sin consisted of the abandonment of pure divine love for the sake of impure selfish love ….
The divine spark in the human being was extinguished through satanic influence and replaced by a fire which destroyed everything that was noble and pure …. The senses became aroused and were driven into utmost greed, which in no way corresponded to My act of creation …. yet for the sake of My adversary’s and My created beings’ freedom of will it was not prevented …. since it is still up to the will of each individual person to resist this temptation by Satan …. The original sin was therefore not the act of procreation but the voluntarily ignited wrong and sinful love induced by Satan …. A happiness giving act of creation in the divine sense was reduced to a game of unclean spirits …. My adversary was permitted to take part in an act where I Myself wanted to be present in people with My blessing in order to increase the pure, divine love in them, so that it should also flow into the then begotten beings. And thus a new human generation would have arisen which would have found its way back to Me in increasingly brighter light without suffering and pain, which would soon have liberated itself through love, because it had to recognise Me Myself where love shines forth …. The first human beings could have passed this test of will …. but since I was struggling with My adversary for the human souls I could not prevent him from using means which would ensure his victory. For it involved My created beings’ return in completely free will …. which, however, had failed and resulted in a fate for the whole human race from which it could not free itself anymore …. Until a human being in pure divine love achieved the act …. which redeemed all of humanity and opened the path of ascent again …. For love is victorious and will not rest until even the last fallen being has found the way back to Me ….
Amen

God's sure help in coming distress ….
B.D. 5968 from May 31th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
The world will still cause you humans much trouble in a time of unrest which precedes the end. For you will see more and more of the world, and spiritual matters will fade into the background in view of the miserable situation you humans will find yourselves in which is nevertheless easy to bear if you adjust yourselves spiritually, if only you join Me and appeal to Me for help. You can only survive the coming time in a bearable way with the right attitude towards Me …. Believe these words of Mine and don’t let My image fade away in you …. i.e., don’t put Me aside for the sake of the world, for I am also a lord of this world, and I can truly lead you out of all adversity and protect you from all dangers if only you let Me be present, if you don’t let a day go by without intimately joining Me, and you commend yourselves to My love and grace. I want to be your constant thought and you should not let anything separate you from Me …. The awareness that I can always help you and also want to help you should let you persevere in every earthly adversity quietly and trustingly until My help comes, for it will come …. as long as you stick to Me and hand yourselves over to Me and My will …. Who should be able to help you if not Me? …. and is there any need greater than My power? And I promise you My help if you want to be and remain Mine, if you stand by Me and give Me the first place in your heart …. What can the world do to you? …. as long as you lean on Me, you are stronger than the world, than all the threats and hardships My adversary intends to inflict on you …. I can also keep these away from you, and I will do so if you earnestly seek to attain Me and My kingdom. And whether it roars and rages around you …. quietly and safely you can watch the greatest storm pass you by because I command it not to touch you …. Therefore, pay no attention to the world and its turmoil …. Do not let yourselves be anxious and oppressed by things concerning your earthly life …. Just turn your eyes trustingly to Me and stretch out your hand to Me and I will lead you out of all distress …. I will guide you safely even over uneven paths and your soul will reach its aim without danger …. earthly and spiritually I will look after you and strengthen you in the time to come ….
Amen

God's grace to come into divine order ….
B.D. 5969 from June 5th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
An abundance of divine grace flows down to you if you devote yourselves to God; if you want to be united with Him, if you strive to gain God’s pleasure …. You can be certain that His grace will take hold of you as soon as you are serious about living on earth according to your purpose …. as soon as you strive to come closer to Him. And His grace is the guarantee for the one who accepts it that he will reach his aim. For what you humans are too weak to do will be easy for you with His grace …. Grace is every aid for spiritual ascent, grace is a divine gift which places you into a state which you did not deserve because you once voluntarily turned away from God …. But whose help you need in order to be able to do that which leads you to Him again …. (5.6.1954) in order to live a life in godly order. Without His help, His grace, you are truly too weak to enter this order, for your desire is directed downwards, your nature is such that you prefer to remain outside of divine order, that you are therefore also distant from Him, but Whose nearness would provide you with endless happiness and fill you with bliss …. And you shall come close to Him again, you shall become again what you were in the beginning …. you shall live in divine order again in order to also be free from all weakness and darkness. This is God’s will, and therefore He will support you again and again with His grace and love, He will never leave you to your own devices but shower you with blessings …. yet always leave it up to you whether and how you want to use them. But anyone who seriously strives towards Him, who recognizes his task in earthly life and desires to enter divine order again, will truly not remain powerless …. For God’s overwhelming love takes hold of him and pulls him up …. God’s strength fills him and the ascent becomes easy for him ….
Amen

The love of God ….
B.D. 5970 from June 6th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
The flood of divine love pours over all creatures that have emerged from God’s love, and this love brings about that what is dead returns to life …. that what dwells in darkness reaches the light …. that what lies on the ground in extreme weakness becomes powerful. God’s love is everything, it is light and strength and life, it is the fountainhead of bliss, it is a never-ending stream that waters and refreshes everything that is dry and in need of revival. But what is outside the divine stream of love is inevitably in a lifeless state …. But life alone is bliss …. For this reason God’s love constantly endeavours to include everything that is dead in His flow of love …. to give it strength and to illuminate it so that it awakens to life. It is His breath which touches everything created in order to breathe life into it, otherwise it would eternally remain in death.
And everything in creation that betrays life also draws this flow of love-power …. but always in different degrees, which increase the more it is touched by the power of love, until the living being now becomes aware of its power and can freely want and act out of itself …. until it possesses so much strength as a human being that it can now independently take the path to the source of strength …. Then it can increase the degree of the supply of light and attain a life in light and bliss …. And now divine strength and light can flow towards the human being in abundance …. but he can also close himself off to this influx because the human being has free will which will not force him to accept divine strength of love. He is not determined but quietly urged to open himself to the most delicious gift given to him through God’s love: His spirit, which can work mightily in him to achieve indescribable spiritual success. Being guided by the divine spirit ensures the highest success …. but this guidance must be voluntarily sought …. God’s spirit must be requested and acquired …. The human being must want to be under divine guidance and make himself worthy of it by entering into God’s will, which is made known to him through His commandments of love. But then he will also have awakened to life …. to a life which lasts forever …. Then the human being has voluntarily entered the circuit of divine love, then he will be thoroughly enlivened, i.e., he will become active in a way which has been his destiny since the beginning. He will increase light and strength by also supplying them to his fellow human beings, he will also lead others to life, because life always means constant activity, using strength in a positive sense and therefore leading the dead back to life. And the spirit of God will be powerful in the weak …. All weakness will disappear, and strength and life will be where there was weakness and death ….
Amen

Sin against the spirit ….
B.D. 5971 from June 7th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
All sins are forgiven you, but not the sin against the spirit …. Whatever you may commit …. for the sake of Jesus Christ you will be forgiven, even your greatest sin. But if you sin against the spirit, you sin against Jesus Christ, Who died for you on the cross so that He could send His spirit to you. He died for you so that the connection between you and the father became possible. And only this connection makes it possible for the spirit of God to come upon you …. To receive the divine spirit therefore means the testimony of the bond between God and man, for His spirit is the direct emanation of God …. Outpouring of His spirit is flowing into an open vessel …. it is a proof of God’s presence in the heart of man ….
If we now speak of the ‘sin against the spirit’, this can only be understood as a conscious turning away …. a relapse into the depths against better knowledge …. a rebellion against Him who works in him …. despite a degree of maturity which has brought him this knowledge …. This sin is unforgivable precisely because the human being is in knowledge, because he has already received the blessings of the act of salvation and was thus lifted up from the abyss by Jesus Christ …. because he had already established the bond with God himself, thus he was no longer weak and the present turning away from God is such an enormous sin that it cannot be redeemed by forgiveness but results in a fall into the deepest depths which will result in banishment throughout eternity. For Jesus Christ has done His work on this man, it was accepted and rejected again by Him …. Where the spirit from God once brought enlightenment, illumination of thought and safe guidance to the height, there a fall to the depths is almost impossible …. And yet satan’s activity, though rare, is successful. But the human being has the strength to resist him and he has the knowledge …. but he also has free will ….
And he abuses this will in an unforgivable way when he already desires on earth what can only be granted to him in the spiritual kingdom: the bliss of seeing into the other world …. a desire which is no longer rooted in his profound realization but is placed into his heart by satan as unjustified desire …. which he could also very easily overcome because he recognizes it as premature while he is on earth, and which is also mostly overcome by people in whom the spirit of God is active. But where satan is victorious we can also speak of the greatest sin, for it is not weakness when the human being is at his beck and call but an excessive addiction to knowledge and abuse of a strength which is inherent in him as a divine spiritual gift and which he should use in a redeeming sense, for redeeming activity …. Only very few people know what is meant by sin against the spirit, and it is also clearly recognizable to them why this sin cannot be forgiven. Yet satan only rarely succeeds in bringing a person to fall who is already on the verge of achieving his aim …. For God certainly respects the human being’s free will, but He stands by him and He obviously warns him …. He leaves no stone unturned to prevent his renewed apostasy because His love is infinite ….
Amen

Apparent calm …. Exceptional strength …. The coming of the Lord ….
B.D. 5972 from June 8th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
I want to reward your loyalty to Me, which you demonstrate during the last days before the end, with an exceptional influx of strength so that even the most difficult situation will seem bearable to you, so that you will be capable of persevering until I Myself come to fetch you. You will manifestly experience your Father’s love, feel My presence and therefore come to Me with every problem …. You will remain so closely connected to Me that you will expect the end fearlessly and certain of victory and only think in a spiritual way, that is, you will regard all experiences in view of your spiritual development and, therefore, also understand why everything that you experience has to happen. Then you will see how easy even the most difficult fate can be if you travel your path with Me …. This is why no-one need fear the last days if he feels connected to Me, wants to belong to Me and never excludes Me in every undertaking. World events will run their course …. calm will seem to have been restored, yet it is only the calm before the storm which will befall earth when it is least expected. For Satan will cause havoc amongst the human race and will not rest until he has turned everything upside down, until he has succeeded in confusing people to such an extent that they will increasingly turn against each other, that they will violently confront each other, excel each other in heartlessness and thereby give him great power which he will truly exploit in a frightening manner. And My Own will be particularly attacked by him, because he will incite people into persecuting you for the sake of your faith …. This will alarm and frighten My Own, yet as soon as they merely remember Me they will receive the necessary strength and go into battle, for they will know that they are fighting for Me but that I lead the way as their commander-in-chief, that they are fighting on My side and that they cannot lose the battle even if they are far outnumbered by the enemy. Anyone who wants to remain faithful to Me will also be able to do so, for I will not abandon him and he will truly not come away empty-handed if he appeals to Me for strength and support; for if a person’s will belongs to Me he is already My Own, and I will never let him fall into My adversary’s clutches again. You humans can safely count on a difficult time ahead of you which will require all your strength …. Yet you will not be left without warning, time and again you will be informed from above and when you see how everything I foretold you comes true you can already draw strength from it …. Your faith will grow increasingly stronger and thus you will also confidently expect My coming …. and truly not in vain, for once the earthly adversity threatens to become unbearable I will snatch you from your enemies’ hands and take you away …. They will not gain victory over you, for I will bind My adversary and all those who are enslaved by him …. as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….
Amen

Caller on the path of life …. way to the height or the depth ….
B.D. 5973 from June 9th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
It is up to you which way you want to go, but you will be told which way leads to the height and which to the depth, and then you choose the aim yourselves. For not everyone wants to go to the heights because they do not seem enticing to him …. he wants to see what the level paths or the paths leading to the depth offer him. He therefore does not strive for the heights because the depths hold him fast, because he sees alluring images everywhere where his eyes are directed, as long as he avoids the heights. And the path upwards seems laborious and unpromising to him, for he does not see Him Who would precede him, Who would take over his guidance if he made the height his aim. And that is why he does not listen to the warnings and admonitions that come to him at the beginning of his hike, he looks for the most feasible path for himself and consciously ignores the warning calls of those who are well-disposed towards him. He has free will and can use it without being prevented from doing so …. But even then he has to bear the consequences which a wrong direction of will has brought him, he has to accept the fate which awaits him in the abyss, he reaches an aim even if he strives towards the abyss, he finds what he longed for during his earthly change …. Matter keeps him bound, from which he should detach himself on earth …. But the path upwards leads into the spiritual kingdom …. The gaze is always spiritually directed, and the guidance is also spiritual, and a life in fullest freedom and bliss beckons as the aim …. The human being is free of all restraints because nothing holds him back in the depths, and can now create and work in the kingdom of the blessed spirits …. On the path of life there are so often callers and admonishers who want to show you humans the right path and point out the danger you are facing if you don’t pay attention to the admonishers, and who paint you in enticing colours the kingdom you are so indifferent to because you first have to climb upwards in order to see it before your eyes …. And they warn you so urgently of the depths towards which you are heading …. But you do not believe them, and you do not want to go any ways that are strenuous …. you walk along carelessly and only pay attention to beauty which, however, is dangerous for you. And you cannot be forced to turn to the right path, you can only be made aware in love that your path leads astray …. But if you don’t want to believe and don’t choose a different path you will also have to bear the consequences that you will distance yourselves ever further from the right aim and thereby increase the distance from God ever more and finally end up with the one from whom you should release yourselves as long as you live on earth. Therefore, do not close your ears when God’s messengers who want to guide you step into your path …. Give up your resistance and let yourselves be guided by them, and one day you will realize how much more you have gained and what a dreadful lot you have escaped …. You will give thanks and praise to Him Whose mercy was for you, that He prepared for you the path that leads upwards ….
Amen

Gift of distinction of spirits ….
B.D. 5974 from June 12th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
The gift of distinction of spirits will let you clearly recognize from which side you are influenced as soon as you only ever strive for truth, as soon as you are only interested in recognizing evil in order to avoid it, and you want to subordinate yourselves to good so that it will be a blessing for you. God truly does not leave you in uncertainty, He gives you clarity where you are not yet able to see the reason, for God wants you, who only strive to live in truth, to also recognize it fully consciously and to reject all error as the work of His adversary. And let this be an unmistakable sign to you that you hear God’s voice when it speaks to you gently and lovingly, when it soothes your mind and makes you inwardly happy and joyful …. For as soon as He Himself speaks through a human being, as soon as He expresses Himself through every spirit, you will feel addressed and the thought of rejection will not arise in you in the first place …. whereas everything unclear, everything that affects you negatively, also comes from a negative spirit and has no claim to truth. For the adversary of God cannot hide his true face, no matter how he camouflages himself …. The influence on the heart of man is according to his desire …. satisfying for the one who is far removed from the truth, who is therefore more inclined towards the adversary than towards God …. whereas it is repulsive for the one who has devoted himself to God and thus to the eternal truth. You can distinguish between spirits as soon as you only want to distinguish between them, for this will already proves the desire for truth, which is also fulfilled. And all of you who want to serve God must learn to distinguish in order to remain free from error …. All of you must sincerely join God and appeal for His help if you ‘test the spirits’ …. And He will give you the gift of discernment, He will not allow the proclaimers of the gospel to be deceived, whom He Himself chose for their service on earth because they fully submitted their will to His …. He will not allow them to proclaim what does not correspond to the truth; He will not allow them themselves to be in doubt as to who speaks to them, for He Who is the eternal truth Himself does not let those walk in error who want to be active for Him and who proclaim His word in His name …. He gives them brightness of spirit and always guides their thinking right ….
Amen

Gift of distinction of spirits ….
B.D. 5975 from June 14th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
You should request the gift of distinction, and if you ask Me for help your judgment will not be an error, for the voice of your heart will tell you what is right and what is wrong if you are still in doubt as to whose spirit is making itself known to you …. It is truly far better to approach Me Myself for clarity of thought than to accept something as truth as long as you cannot inwardly recognize it as truth with full conviction. For as soon as you seriously search for the truth, the will of resistance in you is also My permission through which you should be encouraged to first consult Me Myself so that I can then also instruct you in accordance with the truth. And trust that I will instruct you mentally if you cannot hear My direct address …. Trust in the father’s love Who will truly not leave you in the dark and Who also declares His will to you, which is your task in earthly life to fulfil …. Therefore, when My commandments of love for Me and your neighbour are pointed out to you, you will also know that the fulfilment of these commandments is the first and most important thing, and if you comply with My will then My word will still tell you many things which can only be understood when love is practiced first. You can learn the scriptures by heart and strain your intellect excessively …. you will not benefit from it if you don’t live in love. But if you can hear My voice as a result of a life of love then My spirit will instruct you, and indeed, it will always give you what you need, it will also give you knowledge about things which are regarded as objects of dispute because only the intellect would judge, which does not grasp the truth as long as My spirit’s working is denied …. things which confused the mind and contributed to the emergence of many divisions and schools of thought …. And I had to allow such confusion in order to cause the serious seekers to arrive at the truth by a different path than the usual one. For every person shall seek the truth within himself after he has made contact with the Giver of truth. How easy it is for you to fulfil My demand, and what a high aim you can reach …. But only he who shapes himself into love can inherit the kingdom of heaven. Even during My life on earth I only taught love, and I did not bring people a new commandment …. for with the fulfilment of this commandment of love all other commandments are invalid …. but without love the human being can speak and act whatever he wants …. it does not increase the degree of maturity of his soul in the slightest, because it always remains only a dead ceremony or an empty word if it has not become alive through love …. Mankind always paid more attention to the external and also wanted to relate My words to externalities which, after all, only had deepest spiritual meaning, and countless people stumble over stones they put in their own way …. I truly guide My children correctly, and My children are all those who devote themselves to Me as their father and strive to fulfil My will …. Whatever a person does in the belief that it is My will will also be credited to him as the fulfilment of My will …. but if he seriously wants to know the truth he need only ask Me for it and faithfully expect My answer …. There need not be any error on earth for the believers if only everyone earnestly desired the truth …. But anyone who believes that he possesses it and does not want to change his views can very easily enter the spiritual kingdom with erroneous spiritual knowledge, but he first has to attain the truth in order to be unreservedly blissfully happy, because this bliss depends on the spreading of the truth, which I already send to every person on earth if he sincerely desires it.
But I will never let a person go astray who lives according to his inner conviction …. provided that he is mentally united with Me through love …. What could I possibly reproach him with if he wants to live in My will and also believes to recognize it? In contrast, I do not judge actions which lack this conviction …. And I reject everything that is merely done externally, because I have never demanded or ordered such externalities. And again and again I emphasize that all My words are to be understood spiritually, that they are only ever intended to affect and promote the human being’s inner life, that the human being can therefore accomplish a complete change of nature and bring his soul to highest maturity only through his inner life, for even every good work is only good and to be regarded as the fulfilment of My commandment of love when true love impels the human being to do it …. And love is not external but an emotion of the heart which need not be apparent to anyone. But this love achieves everything, brightness of spirit, truthful thinking, right feeling for that which brings the earthly child closer to the father …. and thus also the recognition of My will. For such an earthly child is in direct contact with its father, it accepts His instructions and willingly carries them out, it does not go its own way but allows itself to be guided by Me and does not want to go against Me and need not fear misunderstanding something and having to answer for it …. It belongs to Me because it wants to belong to Me, and what belongs to Me I hold, and it will no longer go astray for ever because it is light in its soul …. because I Myself am present in it as light of love ….
Amen

Proclaim My Word to the world ….
B.D. 5976 from June 15th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
_(17th anniversary of receiving the Word)Thus I spoke to My disciples and filled them with My spirit that they could proclaim Me and My teaching because they constantly heard My Word within themselves and then became living heralds of the divine kingdom …. They could never have accomplished this task had they not been in contact with Me through My spirit whose voice they listened to and whose guidance they followed. By the Word they knew Me and were conscious of My presence …. And if I now, in the last days, want My Gospel to be proclaimed to people, it again has to happen such that I choose disciples for Myself who are also able to hear My voice, who therefore allow My presence within themselves and let Me speak to them through the spirit. Therefore, not My disciples speak to the people to whom they bring the Gospel but I Myself address My earthly children with My Fatherly love to bring them salvation, encouraging them to turn back before the end because they are not on the right path and are losing their way again into the abyss. Human words would not achieve this …. My Word, however, can penetrate and cause enormous upheaval in a human heart because My Word has an incredible effect if it is not openly resisted. Where it is possible to speak to a human being Myself …. if only by way of My chosen instrument …. there is also hope for success, because this, too, requires a loving person, a mediator …. whose love overcomes the opposition …. just as I can only speak through such a person because his love permits My presence. My first disciples were filled with love for their fellow human beings, and similarly I shall choose the right disciples for Myself in the last days because it is necessary that My voice shall call to earth as a last reminder and warning. I want to proclaim My Gospel to humanity once more to save them before the Last Judgment …. to bring them salvation ….
And thus speaks the Word that is God Himself …. because I Myself Am the Word …. And when you hear My Word, I Am with you Myself. You don’t hear a human being, you hear the Spirit of Eternity Who, in His power and love, called you into being and Who will always be connected to you through His Word …. And you should want to belong to this eternal spirit of love, for this reason He constantly appeals to you with His Word that you should listen to Him, recognise Him and completely give yourselves to Him. He wants to give you, whom He created in His love, unlimited happiness which you can only endure if you are light and strength yourselves …. which My Word should therefore achieve for you …. And wherever a loving heart allows Me to enter I will speak to you always and everywhere …. where My spirit is not rejected when it wants to express itself …. there will also be the Spirit of Eternity, Whose love includes all His living creations since the beginning ….
Amen

Important mission …. Spreading the Gospel ….
B.D. 5977 from June 15th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
Your mission is so important because My teaching shall be preached in all purity, for that which I once gave to people did not remain pure but became progressively spoilt so that it no longer contains the strength which can be found in My pure Word. But people urgently need this strength flowing to them from My Word …. they are weak and incapable of developing further and I can only give them strength by having My Word imparted to them …. as unspoilt and pure as it originates from Me. Only this Word is capable of giving them strength, only this Word is the right kind of nourishment for the souls which enables them to mature fully, which gives them strength. This is why no-one can attain eternal life without My Word, and therefore I convey it to people in a way which seems unusual and yet is an entirely natural process …. by speaking through a human mouth Myself, I Am speaking to all people and thus the absolute purity of My Word affects the ears and hearts of those who willingly listen to it …. Indeed, you only hear one person speak yet they are not his Words, it is not his doctrine which he offers to you …. it is really and truly the emanation of My love which you may take hold of because it is I Myself Who speaks to you …. It is I, of Whom it is written ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock …. if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me ….’ I want to give you the bread of heaven, I want to revive and refresh you with nourishment which your soul is in urgent need of ….
I want to strengthen you and bring salvation to your soul …. It want to provide it with what it needs in order to become blissfully happy. There is immense hardship on earth; it is a drought which leaves the souls without sustenance, so that they starve and in their utterly weakened state are unable to lift themselves off the ground …. And I know of this hardship and want to help people. From My hand they shall receive the invigorating nourishment, I Myself want to entice them to the font where they can draw the delectable water of life and thus gain renewed strength …. and all adversity shall have ceased for the one who accepts what I offer to him: My Word from above, which I impart to those of you who want to be of service to Me, which shall be passed on through you to people in order to help them …. My Word, which is only effective if it can touch the heart in its pure form and without being spoilt and which thus shall be spread anew throughout the world by disciples I choose Myself …. For the hardship is immense and My love wants to help …. it wants to heal the sick and strengthen the weak; it wants to give life to those who are dead and therefore convey the flow of life into barren land …. In the last hour My love still wants to wrest from death the souls which cannot resist it and through My Word make them blissfully happy ….
Amen

Right instruction …. right will …. love commandment ….
B.D. 5978 from June 16th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
My commandment of love is the first and most important …. But it is only an indication of what you should do, for you are free and therefore not forced to fulfil this commandment of Mine. You must do everything voluntarily if it is to be of value for your soul. And likewise, all bad deeds are also to be counted as sin if you carry them out voluntarily, for only your will is ever valued …. Your will and the attitude of your heart is the only decisive factor, and therefore your thinking must first be trained, you must be instructed such that the right will results from it. Now the will can be led astray through wrong instruction, but the will can also consciously behave against better knowledge …. And the latter is sin …. For right instructions always aim at love, and acting against love is sin …. And even the misguided person has a silent admonisher and warner within himself who nevertheless points his will in the right direction …. which again corresponds to My commandment of love …. Therefore he too cannot be absolved from the offence against love …. from sin …. as soon as he rebels against the silent admonisher within himself, as soon as he does not listen to him. For the will in every human being can be right or wrongly directed, otherwise it would not be free. And the commandment of love is always the standard for the direction of the will, i.e. the fulfilment of it is also the right decision of the will, because love alone results in a life in divine order. And therefore no human being can become blissfully happy without love …. which is why I call this commandment the first and most important commandment which should determine all your actions and thoughts if you are serious about attaining eternal beatitude. Nothing else can bring you the same success, nothing else can replace love, and whether you exhaust yourselves in actions of all kinds which only ever remain symbols for what I demand: love for Me and for your neighbour …. All symbols are futile if they are not accompanied by deepest unselfish love. And all symbols are recognized as futile if love is anchored in the human being’s heart …. This is why I only ever taught love on earth, this is why I exemplified a life of love to people …. this is why I gave them an example for a right earthly way of life …. I was gentle, peaceable, extremely patient, full of humility, full of mercy, long-suffering and just. I practiced love and also proved success to people so that they should strive for the same, so that they should follow Me to reach a glorious aim: eternal life in light and strength and glory …. And therefore only love shall ever be preached on earth, My teaching of love shall be proclaimed with zeal, because it alone is the path of ascent, because …. anyone who walks in love is also My rightful follower and …. is also My true follower and because only love redeems you and sets you free from sin and death ….
Amen

Request for the divine spirit ….
B.D. 5979 from June 17th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
You stand in the strength of the spirit as soon as you desire Me and My spirit, for this desire secures the influx of My strength for you, because every spiritual request is fulfilled, because this is the confession of your own weakness and humble submission to your God and father of eternity. Once you rejected this strength and thereby fell into darkness …. you lost all knowledge, you could no longer distinguish truth from error, you turned away from Me and became devoid of strength and light …. you voluntarily separated yourselves from Me, you did not acknowledge Me as the source of strength and therefore also lost all strength. Your request for the strength of the spirit, for enlightenment, for knowledge completely overrides your previous will of resistance …. you have decided to return, you turn your eyes towards Me again, you long for the bond with Me which you once voluntarily destroyed …. So you ask for what you once spurned …. And this request will always be granted to you …. it is, after all, My constant plan of salvation to put you back into a state where you can work in My will, permeated by light and strength …. Thus no human being will ask in vain if he is serious about recognizing what is right and appeals to Me Myself to grant him My spirit. This earnest desire will not remain unfulfilled …. but it must be serious …. it must arise from the heart, it must not merely be voiced with the mouth as an empty form of prayer which does not reach My ears, because I am a true spirit Who wants to be called upon in spirit and in truth. The earnest request to be permeated by the strength of My spirit presupposes a profound desire for truth, and the human being recognizes that he can only find this truth with Me and with My help …. And therefore it simultaneously signifies recognition …. faith in a supremely perfect being. Only a profoundly devout person can make an earnest appeal for the divine spirit, a person who does not deny the existence of a deity or he would not call upon it. And I don’t disappoint this faith either, and I reveal Myself to him by him receiving evidence of the granting of his request …. I reveal Myself to him and he becomes aware of My presence. And now he no longer departs from Me eternally, the power of My spirit has worked on him, the return has been accomplished, the former defence, the sin of apostasy from Me, has been voluntarily discarded, it was recognized and found forgiveness …. for desiring and receiving the strength of the spirit also means recognition and redemption through Jesus Christ at the same time, Who only created the possibility through His sacrifice on the cross that the divine spirit could fill a person …. that the human being could direct his will upwards in the first place …. that his desire is therefore turned towards God and the truth. And anyone who earnestly desires the truth cannot reject Jesus Christ either; through Jesus’ blood he has, as it were, already become free from My adversary’s bondage, he fled from darkness and seeks the light, which he will now certainly find through the power of the spirit …. through My working in and on him ….
Amen

God's blessing on redemptive work …. souls in the afterlife ….
B.D. 5980 from June 19th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
People will be guided into your path to whom you are to bring My word, you yourselves will be guided such that you will be able to redeem yourselves. You are surrounded by souls who likewise receive My word through you, and My spirit will always descend upon you if you want to work for Me and My kingdom, because this redemptive work is most important in the last days before the end and therefore also receives My blessing. And truly, no effort is in vain, for there is always success in the kingdom of the beyond, because even the smallest glimmer of light is evaluated there …. because there are always souls which have already reached the degree that they derive their benefit from every spiritual activity on your part. As soon as you want to serve Me you are surrounded by a glimmer of light which attracts souls, and therefore you should not become tired or indifferent in your work for My kingdom, even if you can observe little earthly success …. you do not work in vain, and every thought, every word, every stroke of the pen has its effect and brings redemption to the souls on earth or in the spiritual kingdom. It just has to be done with the serious will to serve Me and to help redeem erring souls. This spiritual work must not be based on calculation or self-love, for everything is clear before Me, even the most secret thought in a human heart, and the will of redemption alone, the complete subordination of the will to Mine, evaluates the work and the success …. Therefore you should not slacken in your striving, even if obstacles confront you from all sides or you seem to be active without any success …. You cannot see this success but it exists, and one day you will happily see the blessing of your work when you are received in the spiritual kingdom by the multitudes of souls redeemed by you …. And the more eagerly you carry out your vineyard work, the more lovingly you take care of the souls which still dwell in darkness, the more sincere your desire is to help these souls, the more blessed your redemption work will be, and you yourselves will also be blessed and blessed, because every spiritual activity will earn you My love and also secure you every kind of help. Admittedly, you will increasingly experience rejection from people, for the spiritual low increases in the time before the end, and this alone already indicates the nearness of the end and the truth of My words. You will be ridiculed and blasphemed because of your spiritual activity, people will try to prevent you from spreading My word, you will be persecuted and tempted through many earthly tribulations to fall away and to testify against Me …. Don’t let yourselves be disturbed by this, remember that I have foretold it to you and know that then the end will come, that you are close, that I Myself will come to deliver you from great adversity, as I have promised. You will recognize by the success of your vineyard work on earth which hour has come, for you still have individual successes to record, but then hardly anyone will listen to you in good will who does not yet belong to your small flock, and you will have to stand firmly together and strengthen each other in faith …. But My word will always sound to you so that you will not lose your bond with Me when the world oppresses you and the spiritual light will only shine very dimly in this world. But where My word sounds it shines brightly into infinity and attracts those who desire light, and to these you can now give what your fellow human beings spurn …. And every soul that finds salvation through you will thank you eternally ….
Amen

Closing the gates to the spiritual realm ….
B.D. 5981 from June 21st 1954, taken from Book No. 65
The gates to the spiritual kingdom will close when the end of this earth has come …. In order to understand this you humans must know that even after death the soul can progress in its development or sink back into extreme darkness …. You must know that in the kingdom of the beyond the soul is still offered many opportunities to increase the degree of maturity reached on earth or to pass from darkness into light, always according to the soul’s free will. Admittedly, the ascent to the height in the spiritual kingdom is far more difficult and requires much help and willingness on the part of the soul, yet it is not impossible and thus a special grace from God Who constantly wants to help the souls to ascend …. But His adversary is just as anxious to keep the souls in darkness which he won on earth, and therefore the descent into the abyss is just as possible, which is why the battle between light and darkness is also fought in the spiritual kingdom, i.e. both sides struggle for the souls …. For it is still necessary to release souls from its fetter before the end of earth; it is also necessary to still test the will there whether it is directed upwards or downwards …. And therefore redemption work is constantly taking place on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom and with particular zeal in the last time before the end, because a separation of spirits is also to take place there before the new earth will arise …. For a new redemptive epoch begins …. the creations of the new earth accept the souls into themselves which still remain in strongest resistance against God and would never find their way out of darkness because they themselves resist the light. And thus hell expels everything that has fallen prey to it; the spiritual kingdom returns those souls which have no hope of changing their will, and God banishes the spiritual again in the creations of the new earth …. But those who have succeeded in breaking free from satan’s chains also strive towards the light, and they find countless helpers and helpers who smooth their path to ascent, who help them to reach ascent. As long as the earth still exists the spiritual gates are still wide open to receive the souls which previously left their body …. no matter in which spiritual state they arrive in the beyond …. The work of redemption will continue for every soul which has not entered the spiritual kingdom as a soul of light …. But when the end has come the gates will close for a long time, for then the possibilities for further development will be eliminated …. The bad spiritual, which is completely in the service of satan, will now experience a new banishment in the creations of the new earth, while the good spiritual, which has remained faithful to God, will also remain on earth, i.e. it will populate the new earth as the tribe of the new generation …. But everything still capable of development will be called away beforehand, and in the end there will only be those who openly proceed against God and thus are clearly recognizable servants of satan, and those who remain faithful to God in the most difficult battle against faith and are therefore also suitable as the tribe of the new generation …. who now live a paradisiacal life on earth which is incomparable for the people of earth and therefore also inconceivable. It is an exceedingly blissful state for them because the father will dwell in the midst of His children …. where there is no sin and no death, no suffering and no worries and people enjoy heavenly bliss through the presence of God, even though they dwell on earth. But the earth is no longer what it was before the end …. a breeding ground for hell, where God’s adversary went on a rampage to win his victims for himself …. The earth has become paradise and those who now dwell on it are people who were fit for the kingdom of light but who are still allowed to possess their earthly body and yet are blissfully happy …. who live in God’s will, who take possession of a glorious, newly shaped earth in order to now once again pave the way upwards for their descendants as well as for the still bound spiritual and to promote their upward development, as it is intended in God’s plan of salvation …. The battle in the spiritual kingdom has ended for a long time, yet the souls of light also now ascend to earth again to offer their guidance to people, and thus spiritual progress is now also assured for all created beings on the new earth, and the redemption from the form progresses surprisingly quickly because satan’s influence has been eliminated for a long time …. and thus peace is on earth and in the spiritual kingdom ….
Amen

Change of the true Gospel …. Followers? ….
B.D. 5982 from June 22nd 1954, taken from Book No. 65
You are being taught the pure Gospel and are learning to recognise the difference between My pure Gospel and that which is now taught on earth as My Word …. You are learning to recognise that My Word has been changed to the extent that it is interpreted and consequently observed differently …. that far too little attention is given to what is essential whilst the unessential is emphasised, and thus little spiritual progress will be achieved. I have shown people on earth the only feasible path by teaching and exemplifying My teaching Myself, by walking the path which all people should walk in order to reach Me …. It is the path of love, only by taking it will the human being be guaranteed the kingdom of heaven, that is, after his physical death he will be able to enter the spheres of light where the soul will blissfully exist close to Me …. My teaching has become a deviation …. it can only still be found hidden in a structure of human additions, wrong interpretations and the observance of unimportant commandments, which were never given by Me to people but which present the great danger that the only essential commandment will be disregarded and thus not acted upon.
It is of no use to you humans when you castigate yourselves, when you perform duty bound actions or confess Me with your mouth if you do not recognise the commandment of love first and foremost and act accordingly …. You believe that you worship Me with your countless ceremonies, and yet you can only worship Me by doing what I ask of you …. And I ask of you to love Me and your fellow human being …. As long as you find that you lack love when you honestly look at yourselves, you are not yet on the right path, even if you go down on your knees daily and hourly and beat your chest …. This is demanded by people and only serves people too, whom you want to convince of your piety ….
Yet you are still far removed from true piety as long as you do not accept your fellow human beings with love, which also demonstrates your love for Me …. as long as you let your fellow human beings next to you live in utmost hardship and distress, as long as you do not attempt to help them first before you flatter yourselves with outward gestures …. before you pay homage to the world through mundane pomp, through everything that you call ‘in honour of Me’. I do not want to be worshipped this way while there is still hardship crying out for Me, which you humans could certainly ease if you etched My commandments of love into your hearts …. As long as I lived on earth I cared for the needy, the poor, the sick and the oppressed …. You, who claim to be My followers on earth …. what are you doing for these needy, poor, sick and oppressed people? As long as you can help but won’t, you are not My true followers even if you call yourselves such.
I only value the fulfilment of My commandments of love, since everything else …. profound faith, recognition of pure truth, unification with Me and, finally, eternal bliss …. are the results of love and can never be gained without love. It is already evident from this as to why there is such great spiritual hardship on earth, why people are without faith and live in error …. My pure teaching is the teaching of love, which I taught on earth. The moment this is taught as well as practised you humans will live in truth and will have started on the path which follows Jesus …. However, if you ignore these commandments you could outdo each other with external deeds …. you will not achieve any progress for your soul …. you will continue to live in error and take this into the spiritual kingdom, since I only value the degree of love attained by your soul until the time of your death ….
Amen

Last Judgment is an act of divine love ….
B.D. 5983 from June 23rd 1954, taken from Book No. 65
The Last Judgment also has to be considered an expression of God’s love, for this, too, is based on the continued development of souls which had failed their last test of earthly life and which have to be placed into a new developing process in order to reach the final goal one day. Hence the Last Judgment is, in a manner of speaking, a finalising rearrangement of what had become disorderly …. it is for judging and integrating it into the various forms which correspond to the soul’s degree of maturity …. it is the conclusion of one developmental period and the beginning of a new one in line with My plan of eternity which is based on profound wisdom and love. Even a judging God remains a God of love, because My justice is only able to take effect as My love deems beneficial for the soul and yet compensates the wrong thoughts and conduct of people who become subject to this judgment. Even the greatest sin will somehow have to be atoned if it hasn’t been handed over to the One Who offered Himself as a sacrifice of atonement …. A balance has to be created in order to diminish this great guilt, and precisely this balance is guaranteed by the Judgment …. by placing the soul, having become sinful, into a situation where it has to reduce this guilt, since it had not voluntarily accepted the gift of atonement ….
The Last Judgment is by no means an act of divine wrath but just an act of love which also expresses My justice …. since this cannot be excluded from a supremely perfect Being. I could certainly let each person feel My righteousness separately, I could more or less punish every sinner immediately …. but this would not correspond to My wisdom, and in that case My love would hardly be recognisable. For I Am exceptionally long-suffering and patient and postpone a judgment, like the one at the end of a developmental period, for as long as possible, in order to still gain people for Myself beforehand …. And I place My protective hand over the unrighteous and wicked, because I wish to defeat them with My love and not be feared by them as a punishing God …. But once the point in time has arrived when I restore order, because there is no further hope of a voluntary return to Me, My love seemingly has to withdraw and yet, it alone is the driving force ….
My love brings a satanic situation to an end and prevents further destructive activity by My adversary …. I rescue souls from falling into the deepest abyss …. I constrain them within solid matter again and thus place them into the developmental process once more …. a judgment which yet again only intends salvation and not everlasting death …. and which therefore indeed even more demonstrates My love for everything I have created …. for everything that is dead and shall attain eternal life ….
Amen

Guide and companion …. God's blessing ….
B.D. 5984 from June 25th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
Everyone is accepted who voluntarily comes to Me …. anyone who strives towards Me in thought, who wants Me to accept him, can also feel seized by Me and will return to the father’s house, even though his path is arduous and he is often of the will to turn back; he may well fall back a few steps …. but once I have grasped him I will never let go, he can always pick himself up again by My hand if he has fallen, and I will never withdraw My hand from him again …. after all, I have been waiting for his return for an eternity. Therefore I bless all those who make Me known to people, who bring Me so close to them that I will also be desired by them as a guide and companion for this earthly life …. People’s thinking is often so distant that they don’t notice Me when I come to their side …. and then it is good when people are found who draw their fellow human beings’ attention to Me, who present the danger of a path without a guide to them and point them to My loving guidance. And then I come forth and offer Myself to them …. and anyone who voluntarily follows Me will truly no longer be able to go astray and lose his way. I know every individual person’s thoughts and feel drawn towards those who seek contact with Me, and I will never ever remove Myself from their sides, even if at times no attention is paid to Me …. They are My children whom I want to guide upwards and whom I can guide if only they want to find Me, that I take care of them. I will only let those who openly and firmly reject Me go their own way, I will not force Myself upon them, yet even their farther ways will not be without signposts …. again and again they will be pointed to the right path, and it is up to their free will whether they change the chosen direction and choose Me as their aim. All people are blind in spirit who do not yet recognize Me when I walk by their side …. and I therefore bless those who endeavour to give these blind people knowledge that they need a guide …. I bless all who tell them of their perilous condition and at the same time advise and help them to take refuge in the right guide …. I bless those whose need goes to the heart, that they assist them and that they give love to those who do not receive love because they reject the giver of love …. I bless those who see, who take care of the blind in order to open their eyes for the glories of that world which lies ahead of them and which can be attained by every person who only wants Me to guide him …. who does not reject Me but believes in Me …. For only he who believes comes to Me voluntarily, and only he who comes voluntarily do I draw to My heart so that I will never let him go from Me again ….
Amen

"I am the way, the truth and the life …."
B.D. 5985 from June 26th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
The path to the eternal home is long for people who have not chosen the right guide, who therefore often go astray and have to make great effort to get there again where they can join Him and His guidance. Long futile paths can be travelled by them and therefore they postpone the return to the father’s house longer and longer, but which they could reach in a short time under the right guidance, under the guidance of Jesus, Who indicated a short path for you humans and is always willing to show you this short path and to take over the guidance. How much time can be lost to you, how many efforts it can cost you …. how often can you slip and fall because you are on wrong paths which lead you far away from the right aim …. And alone you are incapable of finding the right path, and your strength is not enough because it leads you there. For this reason you must turn to Him, Who alone instructs you correctly …. to Jesus Christ, Who said of Himself: “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” If you want to gain truth and life you absolutely have to follow the path of Jesus Christ, otherwise you will not be able to attain blissful life, otherwise you will not be able to find your father’s house. He alone must precede you as a guide, before Whom all obstacles fade away, Who is always a true support for you when your strength weakens …. Who leads you past thorns and stones, Who always finds a path on which you can effortlessly ascend. Alone it is impossible for you to walk this path, for you cannot see it as long as the light of life does not shine for you …. He alone is the light, and He alone opens your eyes and lets you see correctly where you are walking …. He alone knows the path, for He Himself has opened it through His death on the cross, He has made it free for you, so that under His guidance you will safely and surely find your way to the father, so that your return to the father’s house has become possible for you, so that you can reach your aim …. to be eternally united with Him from Whose love you once came forth ….
Amen

Redeemer work of Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 5986 from June 27th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
My act of salvation has been accomplished for all times, for all people who have to walk the path through earthly life, for all unredeemed spiritual beings which need the grace of My act of salvation in order to become free from My adversary’s bondage. One human being made the sacrifice of atonement for the whole of humanity …. He made the atoning sacrifice for the great sin of the spiritual’s turning away from Me …. He paid the debt with His life …. He died on the cross. And whether the process of spiritualizing human beings still takes an endless amount of time …. whether countless periods of development are necessary in order to let the spiritual come to its final maturity …. Everything embodied as a human being has the opportunity to reach its aim precisely through Jesus Christ’s help, through His inexhaustible measure of grace, which people only need to make use of in order to receive strength to liberate themselves from the adversary’s power. Previously My adversary’s might and power was so great that people were unable to offer him any resistance …. But Jesus Christ broke his power through His death on the cross and provided people with the strength to defeat him who avail themselves of His grace, who acknowledge Jesus Christ as God’s son and redeemer of the world, in Whom I embodied Myself because I wanted to help you humans. The great spiritual adversity on earth need not be, it could be lifted by you humans yourselves because the means are at your disposal through the divine redeemer …. Yet as long as you don’t use them, as long as you don’t draw strength from Him, you are weak and incapable and therefore in greatest spiritual adversity. And you strengthen My adversary’s power again …. Don’t believe that you can ever become free by any other means, and don’t believe that your physical death will end everything …. The fetters My adversary has forged around you keep you mercilessly imprisoned even after your physical death, and only the one Who defeated him through His death on the cross can loosen them …. only Jesus Christ can release them …. And if you don’t acknowledge Him, if you don’t call upon Him, you will still remain in bondage for eternities, yet you will always and again have the opportunity to turn to Jesus Christ, for His act of salvation not only applies to the present but also to the past and the future …. All people who have to travel the path on earth can draw from His fountain of grace and recover, i.e. become free from the enemy of their souls …. They need only hand themselves over to Him Who is also Lord over satan, Who has overcome him. But they must hand themselves over to Him, otherwise they will remain eternally unfree …. eternally in that power, eternally in torment and darkness …. But it is up to you humans when you take refuge in Him who has redeemed you …. You are free, and you can hand yourselves over to Him immediately, but also only in eternity …. You can soon obtain bliss but also remain blissfully unhappy for an infinitely long time …. But once you have to submit yourselves to Him, and whenever you do so His treasure of grace will always be at your disposal, for He Who redeemed the world from sin died on the cross for all people. No human being who wants to escape death and rise to life can pass Him by …. for only through Jesus Christ can a person become blessed ….
Amen

Warning against false prophets ….
B.D. 5987 from June 28th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
I take care of My own, and every spiritual and earthly request will be granted, for My own will also only grant Me earthly requests as the spirit from Me gives them. And spiritually I always provide for them according to their will, spiritually they are guided and cared for by Me, because the attainment of My kingdom …. the spiritual well-being of their souls …. is the first thing they strive for and therefore My spirit can also work in them. And therefore they can go their way without worry, it is the right one, because I Myself guide them …. Beware of false prophets, yet know that there are also genuine ones, otherwise I would not have warned against the false ones. But you can recognize genuine prophets by their nature and their work. They only strive selflessly to protect their fellow human beings from disaster, from satan’s influence, from their spiritual downfall. Therefore they proclaim Jesus Christ, Who alone can snatch people from that influence, Who alone is their saviour and redeemer and leads them to eternal life. These prophets proclaim their Lord completely unselfishly and at the same time point out God’s judgment which will befall people if their words are not believed …. They announce to people what is in store for them if they continue to walk their wrong paths. But only their concern for the salvation of their souls drives these messengers to sound their calls of admonition and warning. Wherever you meet such prophets, there let My words come to you …. listen when they speak to you and don’t reject them, for their love drives them to do so, and that is why I also sent them amongst people to announce the near end to them so that they don’t fall prey to it …. Therefore you should not reject everyone who announces the approaching judgment to you, for he only wants to save you and not just frighten you. But many also seek to gain a source of income in such an office …. They associate it with an earthly purpose, and these are not servants of God but servants of satan …. For My adversary wants to cause confusion amongst people, and thus he, too, will make use of My words, he, too, will speak of the end in order to make people believe that he is speaking on My behalf, in order to then direct people’s thoughts towards their earthly life in order to then cause them to pay more homage than ever to the world, and he will know how to portray the world in such bright colours that people’s love will be increasingly more turned towards the world …. Many false prophets will appear before the end, all of them will make use of the statement of the true prophets, who will also proclaim what is to come yet not with regard to My kingdom but only ever put their earthly aims first, but who also make use of My words yet are not unselfish but seek to gain their own advantages. And therefore their speeches will not correspond to the truth, therefore worldliness will still shine forth too much from their speeches, for anyone who still belongs to the world cannot deny it. But you humans can sense who has been sent to you by Me if you want to be Mine and stand in truth …. Then you will clearly recognize who is speaking to you, and you will follow the call of the true prophets, for they only want to lead you to Me, they don’t want anything for themselves and they despise the world ….
Amen

Promise of life …. Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 5988 from June 29th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
I will give life to those who flee death, who turn away from the one who brought death into the world and who believe My promise that they shall live forever if they let themselves be awakened by Me. I alone can fulfil this promise, I alone can command death to release you and I alone have the strength at My disposal which you need for life. Whoever therefore wants to live, let him come to Me and receive life from My hand …. whoever truly wants to live, let him desire strength from Me and he will be able to draw it without limit. I want to give you life, for I love you and therefore want to wrest you from death, I want to change your soul’s lifeless state and give it the ability to be active for its own happiness …. I want it to be able to work in light and strength on earth already and one day in the spiritual kingdom …. But I can do nothing against your will …. Only when you want to escape death yourselves can you be fed with My strength, only when you turn away from the enemy of all life will he have lost his power over you and you will walk towards eternal life. Only when you direct your steps towards Me will the strength flow to you which guarantees you life, for you then open yourselves to My flow of love’s strength and your hearts can now be filled with the water of life …. and you have escaped eternal death. But alone, without help, you will never be able to accomplish the release from the enemy of your souls, for your will is weakened and gagged by him, he keeps you down and you cannot rise on your own. And you would never be able to awaken to life if one did not have constant access to you …. One Whom the enemy cannot prevent from coming to you because He is stronger than the one who holds you captive …. But this one can only help you and release you from him if you want it yourselves, and so that you want it, touch His hand and let yourselves feel the benefit of His love. He steps into your path so that you will pay attention to Him and give Him the right to redeem you …. Jesus Christ, Who through His death on the cross earned the right to penetrate even the territories of His adversary in order to loosen the fetters of those who want it. My merciful love also comes to the souls in the depths …. be it on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond …. Where there is greatest adversity the saviour is near, there Jesus Christ obviously shows Himself so that people will take the path to Him Who alone can lead them out of the night of death into the light of life. He is the life Itself, Which took on flesh on earth in order to bring to life those who had fallen prey to death …. In Jesus Christ I Myself approach you humans and truly bring you life as soon as you let Me help you, as soon as you turn your eyes towards the cross and receive the strength to rise up, to resist and to free yourselves from captivity with My help. For I have redeemed you from sin and death …. I have purchased eternal life for you on the cross ….
Amen

Love radiance …. decision reminder …. will ….
B.D. 5989 from June 30th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
You are already eternally distant from Me and close yourselves off from My illumination of love …. and you will still be eternally distant from Me if you don’t open yourselves to My grace, if you continue to resist Me as you have done so far …. For now you will soon have reached your hour of decision, you can return to Me completely in order to live a blissful life, but you can also continue to resist, and then you will be banished again from My closeness, which you had almost reached already …. you sink back and have to travel the same path again through all creations of nature. And eternities pass before you are confronted with the decision again in the same state of free will …. You humans cannot measure what this means, but I know and truly want to protect you from it, I want to try to induce you to escape this fate of yours and therefore call out to you: Return soon, don’t let the end approach, come to your senses before it is too late …. Distance from Me means darkness and torment, bondage and powerlessness …. Distance from Me means that My illumination of love can no longer touch you and that you are therefore wretched. You could greatly reduce the distance from Me, you had and still have the opportunity to come close to Me, and your will alone determines whether you want to remain close to Me or turn away from Me completely again …. And I, in untiring patience and love, try to help you and direct your will from where light and strength can come to you …. But I cannot determine the right direction of your will, it is left up to you, and that is why you fail …. Everything is within your reach, a glorious kingdom in strength and bliss …. if only you reduce the distance from Me and let yourselves be permeated by My strength of love. For you must seek contact with Me if you also want to be full of light and strength. You must voluntarily take the path to Me, you must want to reduce the great distance from Me, you must not turn away from Me but fully consciously strive towards Me, and you must believe that I am the father of all of you and can therefore be reached by every one of My children who seriously wants to reach Me. My love for you, My living creations, has not diminished, it still embraces you with the same intensity, it just does not force itself upon you …. For the strength of love must not find resistance otherwise it will remain ineffective.
And if you humans are not yet able to feel My love, if you do not yet feel touched by My love, then you still remain in resistance against Me, and you should give it up, you should completely hand yourselves over to Me, you should no longer want to possess your own will but only be willing to live according to My will …. Then you will have voluntarily submitted yourselves to Me, then all resistance within you will be broken, then the distance between us will be reduced, and then you will be able to come so close to Me that you will feel My presence and you will be able to feel My love …. for you will be happy that you can nestle like children in your father’s arms, that your father will embrace you in His love and prepare for you a blissful life in eternity …. O take care that you come into this state before the end is there, take care that you belong to those who can enter the spiritual kingdom by the father’s hand, who stand firm in the last battle on this earth …. Make sure that you have become Mine, and you will remain Mine for all eternity ….
Amen

Establishing divine order ….
B.D. 5990 from July 1st 1954, taken from Book No. 65
And I will purify the world, I will restore order, I will separate people from each other when the last day has come …. I want an earth to arise again where everything is in divine order, so that it may again serve the perfection of the spiritual, as is its destiny …. I want peace to reign one day, that paradise is opened up again to people who live in My will …. I want satan to have no more power over people and therefore I put him in chains, I strip him of all power and strength by also banishing his followers, without whom he is powerless for a long time. Although I was patient for a long time and did not stop him in his activity and rage against Me, one day the hour will come when I will put a stop to it and oppose it with My might and My will …. And then a new time will begin, a time of peace and order, a time of bliss and divine harmony for all people inhabiting the new earth …. and a time of rapid upward development for the spiritual bound in the creations. And during this time I Myself will obviously enter into contact with My own, I Myself will dwell amongst them and release increased bliss where the hearts beat towards Me in love …. Peace will dwell in people’s hearts, peace will be amongst My own and nothing will be able to oppress them and rob them of their peace …. A new world will arise, full of light and love, where My love, power and glory will be revealed in every way …. The world has to be renewed, it has to be cleansed because in the end only sin and death rule it and thus it has become satan’s abode, because all spiritual ascent on it has become impossible, which is against My order of eternity. A school of the spirit must be created again where it is possible for My earthly children to successfully complete their path of development. Human will has caused the greatest confusion and distorted everything, human will has disregarded My law of eternity and blindly raged to the detriment of every creature, to the detriment of the spiritual which is still bound …. And all this has to be put right if I want to come to the aid of this spiritual substance which is in a state of compulsion and for which people make further development difficult or completely impossible. A turning point must occur, a judging and reshaping …. The last judgement is inevitable, for it only serves as a blessing for humanity and the unredeemed spirit …. otherwise it could not reach its aim for ever …. otherwise all would be abandoned to the depths without salvation. There must be light where there is darkness, freedom where there are fetters and acts of violence …. Love must be able to rule where until now only hatred was expressed …. happiness and bliss must rejoice all who have hitherto lived under sin and oppression in the midst of a world of satanic beings …. For the time is fulfilled, deliverance from sin and death is coming ….
Amen

Concept of hell and its torments ….
B.D. 5991 from July 3rd 1954, taken from Book No. 65
A transfigured body and a transfigured soul ascended to heaven when I accomplished My work of redemption …. Only that which has completely spiritualized itself can enter into the heights of light …. thus enter the kingdom of heaven …. If this is understandable to you humans, it will also be possible for you to understand that everything which departs immaturely from earth also remains in the abyss …. that it still has to carry so many burdens which prevent its flight upwards, that it remains fixed in earthly surroundings and thus also dwells in earthly surroundings even though death has ended its stay on earth …. You will understand that the soul …. the spiritual …. which is thus enveloped by impure substances, by earthly desire and which is still completely immersed in material thinking, is completely impermeable to light and its darkened state cannot be a state of beatitude …. You will understand that the kingdom in which it dwells is infinitely far away from the kingdom into which I entered in the transfigured body …. And you will understand that this kingdom is called hell in contrast to the kingdom of light, which only harbours most blissful beings. An immature soul takes all its bad qualities and passions over into the kingdom of the dead, and it will want to let off steam there according to its nature …. It will unleash the same passions in the souls surrounding it, and therefore there will be no peace and quiet but battles will always break out for supremacy, because these beings only ever pursue earthly aims which constituted their purpose in life on earth. Such fights and disputes do not contribute towards their liberation, they aggravate their lot themselves, they rage against themselves and become ever more deeply dependent on the one in whose kingdom they dwell. Their innermost being is roiled by hatred and envy, they burn with a desire for revenge, and like a fire the hatred flares up in them which wants to destroy everything …. And whatever they do in their rage …. it does not satisfy them or free them from their state of hatred …. There is a constant ember of hatred in them, a fire of the worst passions, a fire without end …. unless they take counsel from the beings who approach them for help, to lead them out of the hell of their own passions …. Do you now understand what hell actually is? That by it is to be understood a state which is worse than a fire, because it (it) has only (also) the destroying qualities of it, but not only purifying qualities …. and that such a state can last for eternities, because even the efforts of beings willing to help can remain unsuccessful with souls whose shells are still impenetrable, and even the love of the helping beings is unable to penetrate the shells. Countless possibilities are opened up by My love to souls which depart from earth as little or not at all mature …. And that is why the spheres in which these souls dwell are so different, from the deepest depth up to the height there are countless intermediate stages, depending on the soul’s cover, to what extent it is impermeable or can already catch weak rays of light. And yet hell …. the realm of demonic, hate-distorted and misshapen souls …. is the most densely populated. most densely populated because these souls are still completely materially minded and all their love only applies to the kingdom which belongs to My adversary. And this one truly knows how to kindle greed and unfold all bad urges and characteristics. He stokes the fire to the highest embers which will never go out in his kingdom …. but it is still possible to escape with the help of the one Who is stronger than him …. with the help of Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer …. I went up to heaven …. but as the redeemer of men from sin and death I also descend to hell and bring salvation to those who want to be saved …. For there is also a way out of hell …. even in hell the cross of Christ shines and can soothe souls …. The light of the cross can touch a soul in such a way that it is weary of the eternal struggle and clings to the rescue beam of the cross, and its deep guilt is wiped away for the sake of the merciful love of Jesus …. There is also redemption from hell, for My love is greater than all guilt ….
Amen

Effect of a striving person on otherworldly souls ….
B.D. 5992 from July 4th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
Increased spiritual striving will always have a redeeming effect, for both the person’s own soul as well as the souls in the beyond which surround him accept light, because the will directed towards God secures light and strength for the person’s own soul and thereby the path to God is also shown to the souls in the beyond, which they therefore pursue because it lies brightly and clearly before them …. A person on earth who only ever endeavours to do God’s will …. who therefore consciously strives towards Him …. will always be surrounded by weak, needy souls who want to draw strength from Him, Who is recognizable to them through bright light and Who also radiates strength as soon as his thoughts are love-filled and helpful. Weak souls in need of help hope for help from him and are therefore always close to him …. Every thought now which is turned towards God, every thought which is spiritually directed, is recognized as a spark of light, and they attentively follow all of the human being’s thoughts and his endeavour, his earthly activity …. And they take it as an example and strive for the same. They, too, now turn their eyes upwards, they seek the same aim …. and the human being is redeemingly active, albeit unconsciously. And the prayer for the deceased, the mental dwelling with the unredeemed souls, which calls them and lets them participate in the good influence on the soul around him, is then particularly effective. A person’s thoughts do not remain hidden from those souls if they are spiritually directed, and thus the souls which are capable of change and willing are always summoned …. For this reason, however, the forces are also at work which want to prevent redemption …. therefore the spiritually striving human being will often be harassed, and the forces of darkness will try to confuse his thoughts, to hold him back from spiritual striving because they fear losing many souls at the same time …. And therefore the spiritually striving human being will not be spared days of inner struggle, of hours of inner hardship and weak faith, yet these will not last long because the opposing forces will soon be displaced again from above …. because God always helps those whose striving is meant for Him …. And if only the human being often remembers the souls which hope for help from him, then his will of salvation will be manifested and he will always receive strength to lead himself and his flock of followers upwards. He will not need to fear becoming a victim of those dark forces, after every temptation he will always more eagerly seek to reach his aim, for all those to whom he did good, all those to whom he sent loving thoughts, irrespective of whether on earth or in the spiritual kingdom, will stand by him, and thus he will never slacken but be active for the benefit of his surroundings, because God is his aim as long as he still lives on earth ….
Amen

God Himself declares: Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 5993 from July 5th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
Surely it should be possible for Me Myself to destroy all misgivings, and it is also possible for Me as soon as a person only desires the pure truth …. as soon as he thus frees himself from his previous knowledge in order to listen to My voice alone, which I reveal to him …. As soon as he seriously desires the truth he can also be assured that I will not withhold this truth from him, because the desire for truth also proves the desire for Me Myself, Who is the eternal truth: And I am also present to anyone who desires Me, and I prove Myself to him through the manifestation of My spirit, so that he becomes enlightened …. that he now thinks truthfully or recognizes what is presented to him as truth. You humans don’t believe how easily you can acquire truthful knowledge; you don’t believe that you only need to turn to the giver of truth in order to then also fully and completely stand in the truth. For anyone who earnestly desires the truth is also willing and able to love. God is love, and God is truth …. God, love and truth are one …. If you desire the truth, then you also desire God …. you seek union with that which you love …. And if you love God and truth the spark of love has already flared up in you, the connection exists with Me, My presence is certain to you and I Myself prove Myself to you through My working in you …. My spirit gives you enlightenment about what you want to know ….
But do you humans want to know the pure truth? I have to ask you this question so that you will also have the explanation why so much error and ambiguity can be found amongst people and also where the truth should be spread. I can only consider you humans if you want this yourselves, otherwise I would have to touch the human being’s free will and an inevitably imparted truth cannot bring blessing …. I have promised you humans that I Myself am ready at any time with the words: “I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth, he will guide you into truth ….” You cannot dispute My word …. But where do you seek the fulfilment of this promise? …. And so I have also said to you: “Become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect ….” With these words I have made it clear what your aim is on earth …. that you should shape yourselves into gods, for you should become My image, My children …. which is only possible in the perfection of your being. And because you would never have reached the aim yourselves, because you were too weak to accomplish this work of transformation on your own, I sent you one Who was to prove to you that it is indeed possible for a human being to reach this final aim, deification, on earth …. He exemplified to you the life which earned Him the success of finding union with Me …. of eternal love …. through love …. He became perfect as His father in heaven was perfect, so that I Myself could be in all fullness in Him, in the man Jesus, Who was only human as long as this transformation had not yet been accomplished …. But then His external body contained Me Myself and therefore He was able to ascend to heaven transfigured after His physical death, because body and soul had deified themselves through love …. And all of you shall follow Him …. you shall all become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect …. Consider seriously these words of Mine …. that I demand something of you and have also given you the proof that it is possible to fulfil this demand …. I am and eternally remain the highest and most perfect spirit in infinity. In My infinite abundance of light and strength no being would be able to behold Me …. But in Jesus Christ I Myself became visible to you, which is why Jesus Christ really and truly is and remains God for all eternity …. But I sent you My son …. a being that came forth from Me …. to earth, Who now took on a human form of His own free will and prepared this form so that it could become My abode …. that I Myself was therefore now in Him and it can certainly be said that Jesus was God …. that I Myself embodied Myself on earth …. Yet it can never be denied that Jesus, as a human being, offered the sacrifice on the cross for you humans …. that He lived and suffered and died as a human being …. but that love in Him brought the sacrifice and that love was I Myself and that I Myself therefore redeemed you humans from sin and death ….
Amen

Distribution of spiritual goods by messengers of God ….
B.D. 5994 from July 6th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
With full hands I would like to distribute My gifts of grace to you, yet I only find a few who open themselves and allow themselves to be bestowed by Me, only a few recognize the value of My gift of grace and gratefully accept it, and only a few make use of it and acquire great spiritual wealth. And these are to be blessed …. For one day every person will recognize what his nature is, one day poverty as well as wealth will be revealed, and then the soul which passed by the giver, Who only wanted to give to it and Whose gifts it did not respect and rejected, will think back repentantly …. One day every soul will be dependent on spiritual wealth, and its fate in eternity will correspond to this …. But as long as man lives on earth he can acquire spiritual goods, for I offer them to him until the end of his life …. He may accept unearned treasures, for the poverty of every soul endures Me, and My love wants to give what it lacks …. And therefore I send messengers again and again who are to distribute My gifts in My stead to those who do not receive Me Myself when I come to them, to those to whom they have easier access because they stand on the same ground. These messengers are rich in spiritual goods which they have received from Me Myself, and thus they can also distribute much and yet they will never spend themselves …. For again and again I provide for them anew and bless those who go to the poor with their wealth in order to make them happy …. For their ministry is not easy …. the goods they offer are too little desired, and therefore they are often rejected, even though they offer the most delicious …. Goods which are imperishable and will one day be valued alone …. My love, however, will not cease to provide you humans with what you need for your soul …. My love will constantly use new means which all aim to provide you with spiritual wealth …. My love will approach you in all situations of life and again and again offer you a gift …. Gifts of grace of the highest value …. but always leave you the freedom to accept or reject them. For only a voluntarily used grace can have a beneficial effect on you. You are poor and I want to make you rich …. but you don’t recognize your spiritual poverty and therefore reject the one Who alone can remedy your poverty but Who nevertheless will not let Himself be rejected and again and again offers you His gifts of love as long as you live on earth …. But when your last hour has come your fate will be as your will was on earth …. You will suffer a lack of what you carelessly rejected on earth and will only be able to attain with difficulty in the kingdom of the beyond, the goods which alone will help you to ascend …. And your remorse will be painful …. but your fate will be just, for the rejection of My gift of love and grace on earth can only bring you great hardship in the kingdom of the beyond ….
Amen

Afflictions of the body …. suffering for the soul ….
B.D. 5995 from July 7th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
The body will pass away but the soul will leave it in order to enter eternity in radiant abundance of light if it has used its earthly life correctly. Therefore do not grieve when the body is afflicted with infirmities, for this body then carries a burden for the soul so that it can swing up in freedom into bright heights …. Do not grieve but rejoice, for it is a plus for the soul at the end of earthly life …. It is the path you once voluntarily agreed to take, even if you knew nothing about it in earthly life, yet the soul recognized its opportunity to mature and took upon itself the fate which seems difficult for you to bear. But if your body can no longer cope with its burden, if you feel too weak to carry the cross imposed on you, then look up to Him and ask Him to take your burden onto His shoulder, and He will help you carry the cross …. He will give you strength and support you, He will always be ready for you if you call upon Him for help. You, who have to suffer on earth, experience God’s love to a special degree, even if you don’t understand it, even if it seems incomprehensible to you that His love has burdened you with a cross. Yet only the body suffers and passes away, but the soul is spared unspeakable suffering, and God’s love and care is meant for this soul which He wants to protect from a fate which is far more painful than the suffering the body had to bear during its earthly life. And as soon as you surrender to God’s will, as soon as you patiently carry your cross, the soul’s shells will dissolve, it will become receptive to light, it will become free and need not fear death either …. it will welcome it as an entrance into the kingdom of light, it will lay down its body with joy and be grateful that it suffered for it …. For now the soul will live in light and freedom and eternal bliss.
Amen

Loosening the bond with God danger ….
B.D. 5996 from July 8th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
You can easily get caught in satan’s nets if you loosen your bond with Me, if you go towards what he lures you with …. if you let yourselves be captured by the world …. For the world is his kingdom, the world is the net into which he wants to entangle you, the world is the shackle he wraps around you as soon as you isolate yourselves from Me and thus he has free play with you. You must always bear in mind that there are only two kingdoms …. Mine and My adversary’s …. that you can therefore only dwell in one if you leave the other …. To dwell in My kingdom means complete renunciation of the world, of the kingdom of the one who is My adversary. And likewise you will only be able to abide in his kingdom if you have separated yourselves from My kingdom …. Always bear in mind that you cannot serve both lords and that therefore a decision has to be made on your part as to which lord you will give yourselves to. Satan will tempt you as long as you stay on earth, for he will not give up hope of winning you back even if you have already decided in favour of Me. And he truly finds the most hidden means, he deceives you, who want to remain faithful to Me, by appearing under a mask and trying to mislead you. But you can protect yourselves at all times if you maintain the connection with Me, if you always let Me be your beginning and your end …. if you start and end everything with Me …. if you let Me be present in you through heartfelt prayer and activity in love. Then every attempt by him will be in vain, you will be able to resist every temptation, for then you will receive strength from Me and he will only rarely be able to approach you, since My closeness will keep him back and he will only wait for an opportunity where your thoughts will stray from Me and still apply to the world. Therefore, first try to overcome the world so that he will not find any opportunity to approach you …. And if you stand in the midst of the world and have to pay tribute to it, always remember Me …. Only ever stay together with Me in the world, and then the world will no longer be My adversary’s kingdom for you, for everywhere I can dwell through your will is My kingdom, and there I protect you from all attacks of the enemy. But be vigilant …. always erect a wall around you which he cannot climb over …. The wall of a strong faith that I guide you …. and always hold against him the most effective weapon …. love …. against which he is truly completely powerless …. Then you will also travel your earthly path of life in the midst of the world unharmed by him, for then you will go with Me directly on the path into your father’s house ….
Amen

Thoughts on the meaning and purpose of life on earth …. address of God ….
B.D. 5997 from July 9th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
When the significance of earthly life is presented to you, then you are addressed by the eternal deity, then it is a moment when It Itself addresses you and only demands attention from you so that you may also enter into the blessing of this address. You humans mostly live your earthly life task unconsciously …. you do not think about the meaning and purpose of earthly life, you only focus on earthly life, on your successes or failures, and you rarely only think about the ultimately negative success when your earthly life is over …. If you would often indulge in these thoughts, then you would seriously question yourselves about the actual meaning of your existence …. you would first move these thoughts within yourselves in order to then also debate them with your fellow human beings, for these questions would no longer let you go once they had arisen in you. And then you will have entered the path to knowledge, always provided that you are serious about receiving clarification.
For this serious desire is taken into account because God, Who knows all your thoughts, is always ready to guide you to the right knowledge …. to the truth …. for you are His creatures …. You only dwell on this earth in order to attain perfection, and perfection also includes the light of knowledge …. A creator Whose wisdom is undeniable has based all His creations on purpose and aim, otherwise He would not be wise …. otherwise He would have to be denied perfection. Consequently, the human being was also created for the sake of a specific aim which is only unknown to you as long as you don’t want to know it …. because the knowledge of it is of no use to someone who does not have the will to know it in order to live in accordance with his aim. Although this knowledge can be presented to every person it will only affect him when he has come to terms with the thought of his actual destiny, of the meaning and purpose of his life on earth. Then an explanation will appeal to him if it is truthful, or he will reject it if erroneous views are held in conversations about it. For this is God’s working, that He correctly guides the thinking of the one who wants to recognize …. Your earthly life is not without significance, for it determines your fate in eternity …. Earthly life is only a transitional stage, and the way you pass it will shape your further existence, for your life does not end with the death of your body …. And if you humans first make this realization your own, that you continue to live, that your ego merely leaves the external shell in order to enter a new existence …. if you can attain this convinced belief, then you no longer regard earthly life as an end in itself but as a means to an end, and then you also live it consciously …. i.e. always with the aim in mind that your soul enters the kingdom in the right condition, which will be its abode after bodily death …. And you can gain this convinced faith if only you devote yourselves to the God and creator of eternity from Whose hand you emerged …. Then His love will take hold of you and He will guide all your thoughts right …. But if you humans also lack faith in a God and creator from eternity, then you are still badly deformed in your soul …. then you are devoid of all love …. Then you have all the more reason to strive for a transformation of your nature into love, which is the first and last aim of all people on earth ….
Amen

Power of the will through Jesus' death on the cross ….
B.D. 5998 from September 10th 1954, taken from Book No. 65
Every human being can reach his aim on earth if he wants to …. For for this the human being Jesus offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice, so that no human being lacked the strength he needed for his ascent to height. And the will also experiences a strengthening through the grace of the act of salvation, but it remains eternally free, thus the human being himself is the deciding factor. His will is tested during his earthly life, but it can also remain in resistance, but then the soul also has to bear the consequences of it. Before Jesus’ death on the cross the souls were bound, they lay on the ground and could not raise themselves …. But the divine redeemer walks past all of them and offers them His hand so that they can lift themselves up and follow Him without God’s adversary being able to hinder them …. Anyone who grasps His hand escapes that power and becomes free, for anyone who follows Jesus Christ is introduced into a kingdom of light, and light and strength are also his portion …. Yet whether he grasps His hand is entirely up to him, and thus you humans will realize that you have to do something yourselves in order to become free, that your will has to become active, that it is up to you yourselves whether you become free and blissful creatures. And therefore it is your own failure, your own fault, if you do not reach the aim, and no-one will be able to say that it was not possible for him …. For this reason you are responsible for your soul as long as you live on earth, where you are constantly informed that you only live on earth for the purpose of liberating yourselves from the power which holds you captive, and that you can also do so with the help of Jesus Christ. You are constantly pointed to Him and only need to make use of the blessings which He acquired for you and which are abundantly at your disposal …. But you must acknowledge Him, you must consciously call upon Him for help in the realization of your own weakness and helplessness …. You must consciously turn away from His adversary and push towards Him …. Then His love will take hold of you and you will safely reach the aim by His hand. Without Him, however, your earthly life is an empty run, and in the end you will still stand where you stood in the beginning when you were allowed to embody yourselves as a human being …. And you cannot be absolved of the guilt of not having used your will correctly, and now you will also receive your reward for this guilt, which your own will has earned for you ….
Amen
