Book 69 · BD 6495–6504
The adversary tries to prevent the recognition of the Deity ….
B.D. 6495 from March 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
Only for as long as you have not recognised Me correctly will you still resist Me. And My adversary constantly tries to prevent this recognition of Me …. Therefore he will also do whatever he can to keep My revelations away from you; he will not shy away from any means to suppress whatever might make Me and My nature clear to you, whatever would, as enlightenment, inform you of My infinitely profound love for you. I will irrevocably win you over for Myself as soon as you have recognised Me …. And it is precisely this recognition of Myself which countless beings of light would like to convey to you, what every one of My revelations aims to achieve and what My adversary tries to prevent with all his power. And thus it explains the fact that My Word, which is imparted to you from Me directly, is doubted or invalidated as much as possible …. This is so very natural during the end time, for My adversary wants to gain as much as possible for himself, and thus his work starts where he fears losing the souls. Clear realisation about Me and My nature, about My love, omnipotence and wisdom would make him lose his followers very quickly, but precisely this clear realisation is lacking in people. This is why the battle between light and darkness is so fierce during the last days before the end …. And it will be particularly felt by My servants on earth, to whom I can reveal Myself, for that is where he works zealously and often with success. The confusion of thoughts is his plan, lies and deception are his weapon, and what he cannot win openly he will try to gain through cunning …. My Own cannot understand that the light from above does not penetrate the darkness which people are living in …. But the light cannot be transferred to people who don’t desire it; and every desire gets stifled My adversary as soon as it arises …. without people defending themselves. This is why their blindness is their own fault, for they don’t want to have their eyes opened, to find out about My greater than great love, to attain the right image of Me ….
And yet, My revelations cannot be forcibly conveyed to them, although they could all take possession of them. And since you now know who tries to prevent it, those of you who receive My Word must be particularly on your guard and don’t allow yourselves to be disconcerted by his counter activity …. He will do everything in his power to prevent your acceptance as well as the distribution of My Word, because he would like to extinguish the light which exposes him and his activity, and he will use cunning and trickery and only meet with resistance in profound faith and love for Me, which makes his activity ineffective. You are under My protection, consequently, he will be unable to pressurise you directly but he will use those who can be more easily influenced to take action against you or to attempt to undermine everything you endorse as truth to people. Always remember that you are approaching the end, remember that these are the last days for him and that he will use this time with every available power, that he rages because he knows that he does not have much time left …. Therefore, unite with Me ever more firmly and serve Me with dedication and eager love, and you will always be able to triumph over him, with My revelations you will also be able to grant light to all those who resist him; you will kindle in them love for Me and guide them into correct realisation. And they are lost to him, I will have won them over for Me, and My love will never ever surrender them again or let them fall back into the abyss …. they have become and will remain My Own for all eternity ….
Amen

Invitation to the lord's table ….
B.D. 6496 from March 9th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
You shall be offered the bread of heaven so that your soul will become strong and be able to resist when it is opposed by force …. You shall not need to starve, for spiritual food will constantly be offered to you from above, because My love will constantly provide you with the nourishment you need in order to reach your aim. Yet come to My table with a real hunger, don’t satisfy yourselves elsewhere first, because you may receive sufficient food from Me and only the food I prepare for you Myself and which you receive from My hand is of real value to you. I invite you all to be My guests because I know that I can offer you something delicious which is not available to any other host, and because only this food prepared and distributed by Me is the right nourishment for your soul. And if you have now received abundantly from Me Myself, then you also share out to your fellow human beings and cause them to likewise come to My table and let themselves be satisfied …. Distribute the bread as I have done and in love offer your fellow human beings a strengthening drink …. Let them also drink from the spring from which the water of life flows …. Make them acquainted with My word, which comes to you from above and gives strength and light to all who gratefully accept it, who process it in their hearts. All of you humans must hear My word in order to be able to live accordingly, all of you must know My will, for you all have a task to fulfil on earth and need light and strength for it …. And you receive this through My word …. The soul shall be helped to life which still dwells in its body in an exceedingly weak state and …. as long as this is its abode …. in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light as a spiritual being full of strength and light after the death of the body, where it will again be engaged in an activity for which it must be fully equipped …. And everything it needs to mature, to live and to be happily active in the spiritual kingdom one day, will be imparted to it in abundance in earthly life if only it is willing to accept it …. I Myself provide for it, I Myself help it to eternal life through My word. The effect and significance of My word truly cannot be sufficiently explained to you humans, for you do not yet know how to appreciate its value …. For whether you acquire earthly goods in excess …. they cannot in the least improve the state of your soul, it will remain weak and miserable if it is not supplied with that nourishment it needs to build itself up, if it cannot refresh and strengthen itself with My word, which touches it like a current of life and gives it the strength to develop …. The invitation to come to My table and let yourselves be fed by Me keeps coming to you, for I alone know how much your soul needs nourishment, I alone know what helps it to live, and I alone can administer this nourishment to it …. but whether I also have the most delicious to bestow …. My invitation is often overheard, people rush past My servants who want to deliver My invitation to them, and they fill themselves with worthless food, with worldly feasts, where they are often offered a poisonous potion which causes great harm to their soul …. And their greed will grow ever greater for the pleasures of this world …. But anyone who often eats the bread and drinks the water I offer him will eternally no longer need to hunger and thirst and yet always receive My refreshments with full enjoyment, for My gifts prepare bliss which cannot be compared to earthly pleasures. Therefore you should be eager servants and help your fellow human beings to receive spiritual food offered by My love Itself, you should point them to the one Who alone can give because He alone possesses and Who will only ever distribute good gifts to His children …. a nourishment which helps the soul to eternal life and which everyone may receive who wants to be His guest ….
Amen

Repatriation plan …. free will ….
B.D. 6497 from March 10th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
My plan of salvation is designed in unsurpassable wisdom so that it will certainly lead to the aim one day. Yet freedom of will is always taken into account, which is why, despite greatest wisdom and endless love, it can take eternities until the spiritual will fully belongs to Me. But free will requires such a plan, which always adapts itself to that will and opens up the greatest possibilities for the right direction of will. My wisdom, however, saw the direction of the will at all times and My love was therefore always able to plan according to this will …. so that success was and is always recorded and that again and again spiritual things reach perfection, thus they successfully cover the path of salvation. Yet I also saw the many failures which I have to tolerate because they are based on free will but which have already motivated Me from eternity to everlasting activity of love, thus My plan of salvation could therefore already be determined from eternity. An infinite number of beings had fallen and the depths of their stay are endless. The path back is infinitely long and yet the aim is once attainable. I recognized from eternity what demands were made on My love on the part of those beings which do not want to give up their resistance and yet are not left in the abyss by Me forever …. Only My love can rescue them from this, and this love therefore devised a plan which will certainly bring all fallen beings back to Me but which will also require eternities until all fallen beings have been completely redeemed. Love, wisdom and might will always accomplish this work of return with respect for the free will of that which once emerged from Me as a supremely perfect being. The human being can certainly take note of My plan of salvation and then gain the conviction that nothing is arbitrary, that everything is based on My will of love and My wisdom. But he can never overlook My rule and activity for the purpose of the fallen person’s return in its full extent, he can only be informed in a few words that My love will never rest until everything that once fell can be active in fullest freedom and in light and strength …. and that everything takes place according to plan in order to achieve this aim, that every thought, every direction of will and every stage of development is known to Me, that I know about everything and accordingly approach the human being in earthly life such that he can accomplish the return to Me if he wants it himself …. Everything is included in My plan of salvation from eternity but coercion is never exerted, which is why even the most favourable opportunities can remain unused and the time of distance from Me is prolonged by the being itself. Hence it is free will which is decisive in which time the once fallen being’s redemption takes place …. As long as you humans believe that you are unfree in your thinking and willing, you still have little knowledge …. as a result of your former fall …. It is precisely free will which prevents Me from redeeming you abruptly, which My infinite love would certainly like to do but then the ‘characteristic’ of divinity, free will, would be taken away from you and you would eternally no longer be able to become perfect beings but would only ever be directed beings determined by My will which do not correspond to My aim, My divine plan of love. People who dispute a free will are still very darkened in spirit, for they are still under the influence of My adversary who has transferred his will onto them …. But I gave the spiritual being begotten through its will the right of self-determination, so that it recognized itself and could freely decide for it or for Me …. And it still fell and thus became guilty itself in free will. If, therefore, as a human being it still considers itself dependent on external power which determines its will, then it is also still very much in that power …. but it can detach itself from it precisely because it has free will which would be strengthened remarkably quickly through the call of Jesus Christ, Who died for the human being to be able to strengthen his weakened will at any time. And therefore, with the help of the divine redeemer the return to Me can take place in a shorter time, but eternities can still pass by, because free will is decisive …. But everything is planned in My eternal plan of salvation, and My love, wisdom and omnipotence will surely reach the aim one day ….
Amen

Spark of life …. love …. gift of grace ….
B.D. 6498 from March 11th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
You all carry the germ of life within you and therefore need not succumb to death if only you nourish this germ of life, if you supply it with light and warmth so that it can develop …. if you enable the divine spark within you to develop into a bright flame …. if you kindle love within yourselves. Then you will awaken from a dead state to life, and then you need never fear death again. You were embodied on earth as a human being for this purpose in order to gain the ‘life’ which lasts forever. And in order for this to be possible, God placed a spark of original vitality in you, which you should now increase yourselves …. Every effort on your part will be supported, thus you need only want to attain life …. For to kindle the original spark of life in you means as much as to practice love, which you are certainly capable of but always have to muster the will first …. Thus love will always be the prerequisite for you to acquire eternal life. Without love you will be doomed to death. If you were to enter this earthly life without this life germ, the divine spark of love, it would be impossible for you to work with love, because then God’s adversary would have you completely in his possession …. But since you have already reached a certain degree of maturity through the path of development and this degree of maturity should not be endangered in the stage as a human being, God placed a tiny spark of His spirit in every human being’s soul which, however, is sufficient to let a fire of love arise in you if only the necessary nourishment is given to it, if the human being complies with every inner impulse and practices love …. for this divine spark impels the human being from within, yet initially only so quietly that it is hardly felt but nevertheless induces the willing person to comply with the urging …. And now the soul awakens to life …. because love is a strength which tolerates nothing dead around it, which gives life to everything and which will also defeat everything that opposes it. A person who always cultivates love will also feel all inner weakness disappear because the strength of love now flows through him …. because there is nothing divine which is powerless or could leave a weakness behind, and because love is divine, because it is the emanation of God …. because it is God’s fundamental substance, Who is also strength in Himself in the original form. This is how you attain life, because you draw strength ‘directly from God’ as soon as you live a life of love …. And this is your task on earth and also your final aim, to enter into union with God through a life of love, thus to return of your own free will to where you started from. The fact that you are able to do so is an unusual gift of grace, because despite your former resistance to His strength of love God nevertheless gives you a spark of this strength as soon as you enter earthly existence as a human being …. But you yourselves must let the fire flare up within you, you must not let this spark of love fade away, you must not spill it, for that would be your death, for then you would deprive yourselves of all life and you cannot be prevented from doing so because you have free will. Every possibility will be opened up for you to regain the life you once lost; yet free will will not be taken away from you and this alone determines what you do with the divine spark of love …. Every person is urged from within to work with love, but if he does not comply with this urge then the voice will become ever softer and finally fade away completely unheard …. And then there is a danger that the human being will completely lose himself, that he will completely fall prey to death again, even though God will touch him again and again and again creates opportunities from outside which could stimulate his will to love in him …. For God courts every person’s soul until death, for He does not want it to fall prey to death, He wants it to live …. But He leaves free will to the human being ….
Amen

Love-light: knowledge of the truth ….
B.D. 6499 from March 12th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
You will never succeed in attaining the right realisation as long as you are still without love. For only the light of love within you makes you capable of right judgement, because then your thinking will be enlightened, because then you will be unable to think other than right and thus also immediately recognize what is wrong. And thus people who are willing to love will always live in truth and feel an inner resistance as soon as something wrong is presented to them. But it will also be a futile effort of love to try to convey the truth to a person who is completely without love. He will oppose it just as vehemently because his thinking is still under the influence of the one who is against the truth, who will constantly fight against the truth because it exposes him and his doings. Therefore truth cannot find entrance with an unkind humanity, on the contrary, error will be represented there, and no-one will try to free himself from error as long as he himself is of an unkind heart. As soon as a person practices love from within, as soon as his nature itself is love and radiates love, he will never profess error, for the love within him warns him against it …. He will first fall into doubt and always feel more resistance against a teaching which does not correspond to the truth …. And he will also muster the strength to openly take a stand for or against a teaching, because this strength fills him with love at the same time and because he is now driven from within by his spirit to advocate the truth and challenge the error. A love-filled person does not remain silent in the face of an open untruth, and he will also not seemingly acknowledge something that is obviously directed against the truth. But the fact that people remain silent, that so much error has found its way into people’s lives without being rejected, is only proof that love has also grown cold among people, which is the surest defence against lies and error. And although again and again individual people recognize this, although they think correctly as a result of their life of love, the majority of people are nevertheless completely ignorant of the truth and feel comfortable with it …. And if love is preached to them they close their hearts and ears and it remains dark in them, precisely because without love there can be no light …. But truth is light …. love is light …. and anyone who wants to walk in the light must first shape himself into love, but then he will also realize that only one path leads back into the father’s house, into the eternal home …. the path of love, because this is also the path of truth. But anyone who has taken this path will continue to walk it cheerfully, for him there is no hesitation and hesitancy, for him there are no doubts and discouragement, for the strength of love constantly drives him upwards and he takes all obstacles in his stride. Anyone who has found the truth has also found Me Myself, and I am and remain the aim for him towards which he strives …. But I can never be reached without love, the path never leads upwards via error, the truth can never be recognized by a person who is devoid of all love. But I always want to help you all to reach the ascent, and therefore you are constantly admonished to work with love, you are directly addressed by preachers, but I also seek the ice through adversity around you in order to melt your hearts …. For as long as love has grown cold amongst you humans you go through earthly life completely useless, you live it in vain, as it were, without achieving the slightest progress, because you lack the most important thing in earthly life …. the fire of love which enlightens your spirit, which warms your heart, which gives you strength to overcome all opposition …. But it is not yet too late to ignite the spark in you, and I help everyone who is willing to come to the right realization …. For My love does not give up on you, My love shines on you again and again, My love sends light bearers amongst you who admonish and warn you and lovingly offer you the light, for you will not be left without help, I will court you and your love until your death ….
Amen

God's protection to the servants and employees ….
B.D. 6500 from March 13th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
Whatever may happen, I will visibly stand by My servants, after all, they will have to accomplish a task in the forthcoming time which requires a special willingness and aptitude which not all people can muster for an activity for Me and My kingdom. It is an immensely significant mission to serve as a mouthpiece at a time when it is hardly possible for Me to express Myself to people …. Only a few people give themselves to Me of their own free will and serve Me, i.e. they willingly do what I need them to do at the moment. And the most important thing is that people hear from Me what they should do, that they know about My will and that this knowledge is conveyed to them by people who have received it directly from Me. They no longer recognize the usual way of proclaiming My gospel, of conveying My will, and only few accept My word there …. But I also want to address the people who do not present themselves where My word is offered to them …. I also want to touch their hearts and therefore need people who lend Me their mouth through which I can then speak to them. But I rarely find such willing servants …. But anyone who has once offered himself to Me for service is such a welcome co-worker that I will also smooth his path through life, that I will truly not miss his cooperation, that I will protect him spiritually and earthly so that he can conscientiously fulfil his task for Me …. And therefore I will do everything to keep him for this service to his fellow human beings, I will obviously support him in every adversity and danger, I will also resort to unusual means of help if such are necessary, but I will not do without his help because I need everyone in the last days who wants to be active for Me. Only a few people make themselves available to Me for work which applies to people’s salvation, for work which means helping to redeem erring souls on earth and also in the beyond, because only a few people have such a living faith that the spiritual kingdom appears more real to them than the earthly kingdom …. that they are therefore only active for the kingdom which is their true home …. Only a few people believe so confidently that they only arrange their lives for the real kingdom, which is not of this world …. And of these few again only a few are willing to consciously help to attain that kingdom. The earthly world touches all people far more, for what the earthly world offers they can pursue, whereas spiritual achievements are not visible and tangible to them and therefore are also rarely only aspired to. And if a person has recognized the true value and the worthlessness of the spiritual and the earthly kingdom and in this realization has offered himself to Me for My service I will also make use of his will and his strength, which he is willing to use for the salvation of people’s souls on earth and in the kingdom of the beyond. Unless I have an even greater task ready for him in the spiritual kingdom, where services can also be rendered to Me as long as the battle between light and darkness still lasts. But first the earth is the aim of My concern, for it will soon have ceased to exist and the short time of grace until the end still has to be utilized, much work still has to be done on earth, for which I need eager servants and therefore also grant them every protection so that their work for Me and My kingdom will not be impaired but will result in the greatest success ….
Amen

Signs and indications pointing to the end ….
B.D. 6501 from March 14th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
Unmistakable signs will announce the near end to you, yet they will only ever be recognised by those who believe, for all others will explain them as natural occurrences and ridicule those who attach a deeper significance to them. But they will nevertheless be noticed by people and everyone can form their own opinion according to their will. However, the fact that your attention will be drawn to this is a special grace, for it enables you to prepare yourselves and work more eagerly at improving yourselves, because these signs are a serious admonition for those of you who believe. These are still final times of grace which may be experienced by every person in order to successfully conclude their path of earthly life if they are used correctly. But the unbelievers, who spend their days indifferently, will be surprised by the end and their souls will experience the end in an immature state. For this end will come without fail …. If you humans are therefore constantly admonished and reminded of the end, then these, too, are blessings which you should pay attention to, which you should utilise for your soul’s salvation, for God Himself approaches you with such indication, but they can only ever occur in a way that you will keep your free will …. that it will be left up to each individual person to expect or not to expect an end. But those who believe anyway will have a considerable advantage, for they will also live accordingly, they will make an effort to live in accordance with God’s will and become fully mature by the end …. Nevertheless, only very few will have a fully convinced faith, for the announced event will be too huge, no-one will be able to imagine such an event and which, for as long as people populated the earth, has never before happened either, for the end of all previous redemption periods proceeded differently, it will never happen in the same way again, and no evidence as to how such a process of disintegration of creations has taken place will ever exist. Yet the Word of God is truth, and God has at all times spoken through seers and prophets and announced the forthcoming happening, He just did not state a date, for this reason people will always doubt all proclamations of this kind. But those who believe can be called blessed …. Not much time will pass anymore before the earth enters a different phase of development and a new period will start under entirely different prerequisites and living conditions, for the people of this period will have reached a degree of maturity which will also require different living conditions and tasks in order to conclude the process of development. You can take it for granted that your natural life is limited, that many will be unable to complete their normal life span on earth but that they will be recalled prematurely or still experience the forthcoming end in early life, although only hints can be given without any evidence …. for the sake of your free will ….
However, take these indications seriously and you will not regret it …. live today as if it were your last day, for the world can only offer you worthless goods which you cannot take along into eternity. Yet a right way of life according to God’s will can still increase your spiritual possessions to such an extent that the end of this earth will merely open the gate to eternity for you which you subsequently will be able to enter with a rich blessing of treasures …. It will not cause you any kind of harm if you are more likely to take an end into account than a long life time on earth, for you will learn to live consciously on earth, you will think about eternity, about God and His kingdom, and you will always strive towards perfection …. You will not have much time left, therefore you should make full use of it and the benefit will not fail to materialise …. This is why the indications are constantly given to you, so that you will consider the end and live your life on earth accordingly ….
Amen

Change of the will in freedom …. God's assistance ….
B.D. 6502 from March 15th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
Everything will be given to you which will help your soul to mature if only you strive to attain perfection on earth. Every person who musters the will to shape himself in earthly life as it is My will, every person who has recognized My will and makes it his own will, will also have all means of help at his disposal, for this will alone is enough for Me to assist him in every way. And thus you see from this how little I require of you in order to be able to work on yourselves; yet this assistance is never possible as long as you yourselves are still completely uninterested in what will become of you one day, as long as you still have no clarity within yourselves about the purpose of your earthly life …. as long as you evaluate this earthly life alone but do not try to fathom the cause and purpose of it. Often it only needs a little push, a hint at the actual purpose of earthly life, a hint at life after death, a directing of thoughts to the being Who created you …. that the human being now becomes thoughtful and wants to hand himself over to this being for further guidance …. And then I can already take hold of him and guide his further steps …. and they will certainly lead to the aim, to union with Me. And he will visibly experience My guidance, he will penetrate a knowledge which will push him ever more towards Me. I will not withhold anything from him which is useful for his further development, and his thinking will always be spiritually directed so that he will also arrange his whole life accordingly, so that his life will be determined by the will to live to please Me. I will not leave anyone without guidance who has once entrusted himself to Me, who once recognized and acknowledged Me and is willing to belong to My own, whom I also want to take care of like a father …. But I must first recognize this will. The human being must voluntarily return to Me because he once voluntarily separated himself from Me …. As long as this voluntary return to Me has not yet taken place, all My servants’ efforts, all instructions and references to Me will also be unsuccessful, for the inner impulse towards the being Which created him has to be awakened by himself, and as long as it has not yet awakened in him he will still be influenced by My adversary, who seeks to chase away these very thoughts in him but cannot force him to listen to him. For this reason, despite resistance, people shall be informed of a loving God.… of a God to Whom every being belongs and with Whom every being can closely unite if only it wants to …. For the knowledge of this loving being can already change the will and turn it towards that being …. even though it does not force acceptance. The will is and remains the being’s freest matter, and as the will is, so is its earthly path, its success and its fate in eternity. And that is why the fellow human being has a great obligation and also a great influence, because if he is convinced himself he can transfer his conviction to his fellow human being in the most natural way …. because therefore a person who possesses knowledge can also impart his knowledge to his fellow human being, for he will always do it in a way which does not signify compulsion but can nevertheless be successful. The recognizing human being already draws the strength from Me which enables him to pass on his knowledge, and I also provide him with many more aids. For no person need remain in darkness who strives towards the light. But anyone who prefers darkness still completely belongs to My adversary, and I must also let him walk his earthly path until he once comes to realize it himself. But every person can desire light and truth, which will then certainly be imparted to him; but to remain in darkness also means to still completely belong to the one who is lord of this darkness and who wants to keep all souls under his control …. but who has no power to prevent the one who seeks the light …. For he cannot determine the will, it must decide for itself ….
Amen

Protective spirit in life ….
B.D. 6503 from March 16th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
Every soul is given a guardian spirit which guides it from the beginning of earthly life until death. Yet this guardian spirit must also respect the human being’s free will, otherwise there would be no question that the human being would reach his aim; but he does everything in order to influence the soul such that it strives upwards. But where the resistance is still too great he must limit himself to warding off dishonest spiritual beings so that they do not take possession of the human being, for he is allowed to place himself between these spiritual beings and the human being as long as the human being himself does not desire them, i.e. as long as he does not awaken unusual vices and desires in himself which then enable those spirits to enter him. The guardian spirits therefore always endeavour to soothe the soul in order to protect it from these evil spirits; furthermore, they always try to stimulate the human being spiritually, they influence the human being in such a way that the good instincts in him are appealed to, that the human being is prompted to think about himself …. The guardian spirits try everything to guide the human being spiritually and therefore also often prevent the fulfilment of earthly wishes, and it is they who sometimes intervene in a disruptive way when the human being is in danger of losing himself earthly, and who create every opportunity to establish spiritual contact, be it with the spiritual world or also with earthly people who strive spiritually …. They will always try to spiritually direct people’s thinking because they recognize what the human being lacks and are extremely anxious to guide them to the aim while they are still on earth. If the guardian spirits succeed in spiritually directing the human being’s senses for the time being, then they will create many opportunities for the soul to test and perfect itself, they will also promote suitable bonds between people, for they know how they will react to each other, and they can also foresee the successes and shape their charges’ lives in accordance with them. For they are of God-like will, they only act on His behalf, enlightened by Him and filled with His strength. And thus no human being goes through earthly life without protection or guidance, all people have guides at their side, they just must not resist, i.e., they must be willing to let themselves be guided by them, which they express through prayer …. through the conscious appeal to God for His protection and grace and through the will to do what is the purpose of earthly existence …. Then he can unhesitatingly hand himself over to the guidance of spiritual beings and his thinking, wanting and acting will be right. But the guardian spirits are also at the side of those who do not yet recognize God …. only it is considerably more difficult for them to gain influence, but they will not give up their charges until the hour of death …. For the human being himself is too weak and would fail if he were not given spiritual support. The human being is a child of the world because he is a child of the one to whom the world belongs …. and the human being’s desire for the world will always predominate, and his earthly progress would be unsuccessful if his guardian spirit did not also occasionally push itself forward and express itself, which is always the case when the human being becomes thoughtful, when the world does not satisfy him, then he will be addressed by that guardian spirit which follows the human being’s every thought and immediately intervenes when it recognizes an opportunity. And his influence will consist of presenting the goods of the world to the human being as worthless and making spiritual goods desirable to him …. If he succeeds in this, then the human being will turn away from the world more and more; but if his resistance is still too great, the human being will unwillingly reject such thoughts and turn to the world again. But the inner urge of the guardian spirit does not abate, and again and again opportunities arise where it can emerge and express itself. And the spiritual beings are overjoyed when they succeed in changing a person …. when they turn away from the world and towards the spiritual kingdom. Then they will work on him with increased strength and an increased will to love, then the human being will be surrounded by beings of light and all dishonest spiritual substances will be displaced from him, and then there will also be the prospect that the human being will still perfect himself on earth, for the influence of the world of light will now be ever stronger and all resistance on the part of the human being will be broken, and this signifies complete devotion to God ….

Fight or serve ….
B.D. 6504 from March 18th 1956, taken from Book No. 69
There can be no upward development without struggle unless love is kindled into such ardour that the human being now serves with love and then fighting is no longer necessary. But as long as the will to love is still weak the human being will have to fight with himself, with his desires and vices, for self-love is still too strong and defeating it requires a hard battle. And this is the conscious work of the soul which the human being should accomplish during earthly life …. As soon as he has reached a high degree of love all self-love in the human being is suffocated and he will only be devoted to his fellow human beings, he will serve in truth because love drives him to it …. But he will feel happy in this serving love …. As long as selfish love still dominates a person, it is difficult for him to understand that serving neighbourly love could make him happy, because he only ever wants to claim for himself what unselfish neighbourly love, however, voluntarily gives away …. But the human being’s feelings and thoughts change when he has given up his self-love …. He now recognizes inner happiness in works of neighbourly love, it drives him to intervene in a helping way; the love in him is the driving force which he cannot resist, and all struggle with himself, with cravings and vices has come to an end and he will only ever work on himself in order to still discard all faults and vices which restrict the degree of love …. And he will also achieve it because the divine principle of love now prevails and because he will always be less oppressed by the forces which are without love …. which is why he now no longer needs to fight against the forces either, for his love repels them …. Fight or serve …. Only in this way can you develop yourselves upwards, yet this always requires your free will, for as soon as this is not ready you will succumb in the battle and increasingly deepen your selfish love, and then the adversary will have an easy game, then the ruling-willing principle will strengthen in you, you will take advantage of your fellow human beings and deny them all service of love, you will make yourselves a useful tool of God’s adversary but never ascend …. You must not abandon yourselves to this adversary without a fight, nor will you ever be without strength if you sincerely want to defeat him, to defeat your own cravings and weaknesses, for this strength will come to you with an earnest will to achieve victory …. And then opportunities will present themselves to you where your helpful assistance is required, and once you have only practiced giving love without having a selfish thought, then you will also feel the inner happiness which is triggered by such an act of love …. All self-love is a part of your soul’s enemy, and therefore seek to remove it from you, free yourselves from everything that still belongs to him, let pure divine love flare up in you which will make you far more happy than what you strive to attain in self-love …. Fight against all cravings within yourselves and perform voluntary services of love …. This must be said to you again and again so that you will successfully leave earthly life, so that your souls will mature for the spiritual kingdom, where only what they have done on earth in works of love will be valued …. And if it failed on earth it must try to achieve the degree of love in the beyond which will earn it beatitude, but this will be extremely difficult because it lacks the strength for loving activity which was abundantly available to it on earth, because then it will need much support and loving intercession which will earn it an influx of strength …. And if it then uses this unselfishly by helping the unfortunate, then it will also ascend, then it will no longer need to fight because it will serve with love ….
Amen
