World event …. Natural disaster …. Battle of faith ….

B.D. 6590 from July 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Bear everything with patience and don’t allow your faith to waver …. Many a time I will still have to exclaim this to you for you will have to suffer for the sake of your faith, although you are as yet unable to understand this. Up to now you still enjoy a certain freedom of thought; your fellow human beings still pay little attention to the spiritual life of those who want to remain loyal to Me. Nor are you as yet prevented by the authorities from carrying out your spiritual work ….

But the time will come when you will no longer be free regarding spiritual matters, the time will come when fellow human beings as well as earthly powers will be hostile especially towards those who think correctly, who take their psychological development seriously, who speak truthfully and want to help their fellow human beings’ souls to salvation …. And it is precisely them who will be put under extraordinary pressure while the advocates of misguided teachings will still be tolerated and even supported rather than hindered in their work. And then you will also often ask yourselves why I allow this to happen, slight doubts will arise in you and you will weaken because you have to suffer …. And therefore I keep calling out to you: Endure everything and remain strong in faith, for you will walk away with the crown of victory …. Precisely these Words are still barely believable to you, for so far there are no signs at all of this difficult time.

Yet suddenly a change will occur, because a worldly event causing people a tremendous shock will provoke open rebellion against the One Who, as God and Creator, lets something happen that has devastating effects on people …. And therefore they will deny this God and Creator all acknowledgment, every belief in Him will be discarded as unfounded, and all who defend the belief in Me contrary to this opinion, all who confess Me and also want to inform their fellow human beings for the better, will be treated with hostility.

Time and again I have announced that I will express Myself through the forces of nature in order to awaken the sleepers and the lethargic …. And a few of them will indeed wake up but, in contrast, many more will lose their still feeble faith in the face of the widespread destruction and the great human cost of this event. And then the most diverse opinions will be voiced, and many people will hatefully deny a God and Creator and be hostile towards anyone who doesn’t share their point of view. And then My adversary will work with great cunning to incite this hatred, and he will be successful, for the earthly loss suffered by people as a result of this natural event will embitter them and impel them to make unfair demands and to exploit defenceless fellow human beings. People’s heartlessness is increasing and whatever they embark on clearly betrays the adversary, the Antichrist, on whom they depend. And laws and decrees will be issued which will severely affect especially My Own who have to suffer on account of their faith and are barely able to comprehend the severity of their fate. And then I will shorten the days for the sake of My Own …. so that they will not lose heart, so that they will not fall by the wayside …. so that they will become blessed ….

Just hold on to My Word that you will be delivered from utmost adversity, and await the fulfilment of this Word, for I will come Myself and rescue you, I will also manifest Myself extraordinarily beforehand in order to strengthen you if you are in danger of weakening …. You don’t have to be afraid as long as you put your trust in Me, as long as you make contact with Me in prayer, for then you will also always receive the strength to offer resistance …. And always remember that the enemies might well be able to kill your body but not your soul …. remember the reality of eternal life and that every human being’s life on this earth will soon come to an end …. Then your fear will vanish, then you will be filled by the strength of faith and you will persevere and only ever bear witness for Me and My name ….

Firmly commit these, My Words, to your memory and they will comfort and strengthen you in the forthcoming time …. Secure your strength in advance, accumulate it, for there will still be some time before I will express Myself through the natural event …. And if you use this time well in order to strengthen your faith then the subsequent battle of faith will not frighten you, it will find you armed, and the earthly adversity will hardly touch you, because then you will expect My coming with certainty, because your faith will have grown so strong that neither threats nor proceedings against you will be able to shake it …. Then you will be good fighters for Me and My name and all the powers of hell will not be able to conquer you, for I Myself will fight with you and I will truly lead you to victory ….

Amen

Knowledge about the process of pre-development ….

B.D. 6591 from July 9th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

The knowledge about your soul’s process before its embodiment as a human being is appropriate during the last days before the end for all people who go through life indifferently and are unaware of their responsibility towards their soul. Although such people will not want to accept this knowledge it can nevertheless reveal to them a new point of view regarding their existence …. It can explain much which was hitherto unknown to them, it can encourage them to think and also unsettle them as they consider their future life, which they will no longer be able to doubt if the knowledge corresponds to the truth. A thinking person will not be able to reject it offhand but only few will be willing to accept it; yet it could still bring many people to their senses before the end and prompt them to change their attitude towards God ….

Imparting this knowledge by allowing people to gain an insight into His plan of eternity is also one of the means still used by God in His love because the end of this period of Salvation will also close the gates to the kingdom of the beyond and there will only be the two options for continued existence …. namely, as a human being on the new earth or as dissolved spiritual substances banished anew in the creations. This knowledge was previously not essential because the immature souls were still able to gain maturity in the kingdom of the beyond and thus had enough time for their development, but people in the last days lack this opportunity and thus God still wants to help them by other means to achieve the degree of maturity which will prevent their banishment into hard matter.

Spiritual aspirants have indeed always been granted insight into God’s plan of Salvation, yet mainly for the sake of their own development or in order to teach people with a particular thirst for knowledge, whose appeal for clarification was granted by God …. In the last days, however, this knowledge shall be distributed amongst people as admonition and warning, for although people’s past memory had been taken away from them, their belief in the soul’s previous infinitely long path will nevertheless awaken a certain sense of responsibility, and even an unbeliever can get second thoughts about his way of life and these can surface time and again like silent admonitions so that he will nevertheless consider them. And occasionally such explanations can also fill gaps in people’s knowledge and are then more likely to be accepted because the meaning and purpose of creation become obvious …. yet only ever for thinking people who want logical reasons in order to be able to believe.

Such people are thrown a lifeline by God which can draw them onto safe ground …. And He will also let them find ways to find knowledge, He will convey the knowledge of the plan of Salvation and the infinitely long process of the soul’s development to where it will be needed, even though not all people will need to know about it …. Yet God knows every individual person’s thoughts and considerations and wants to answer their questions or dispel doubts …. But nothing He undertakes will be without meaning and purpose, and whatever He conveys to earth in the form of knowledge He, in His wisdom, has also recognised to be appropriate ….

Amen

Explanation of this remarkable gift of grace ….

B.D. 6592 from July 11th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

My direct communication with human beings is an undeserved grace because a person only rarely achieves a degree of maturity on earth which brings him close enough to lead to a direct illumination of love from Me. However, in the final days before the end I speak to all human beings in a way that they can hear Me, even though it may not be direct. To this end I need a human form which allows My direct work on itself …. which is willing to submit itself to Me …. and I use this willingness in a remarkable way because people are in urgent need of help. Although I can only choose a form as My instrument if it has already achieved a certain maturity of soul, but this maturity would not suffice for the kind of illumination which is the share of a true child of God …. of a human being who will leave this earth completely spiritualised to be received by Me as My child, who will now receive all the privileges of a child and thus can also closely relate to Me as a child to its Father …. You have to understand that such a degree of maturity is the primary prerequisite for the emanation of My love’s strength to touch another being directly in order to then be transmitted by numerous recipients of light to wherever there is a desire for it.

Hence I call it an undeserved grace when I use a less mature human form to send this emanation of My love’s strength directly to people. In view of the approaching end the flow of mercy has to be increased in order to help people …. what otherwise would be impossible can still be achieved with an extraordinary input of strength …. For this reason I Am prepared to accept a person’s mere sincere will to be of service to Me …. providing he has met the requirement which allows My spirit to work within him. Because this is My promise: ‘I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth, who will teach you everything and remind you of everything which I tell you ….’ Thus My spirit works in every human being who, as a result of his love, has shaped himself into a receptacle of My spirit …. It leads him to the right knowledge, it enlightens his thoughts, it provides him with insights, and thus the human being will live in truth, the light will be within him and he will also be able to impart his knowledge to other people …. He will be filled by My spirit and be entitled to speak of My presence within himself. And this working of My spirit in a person requires a certain degree of love which every person of good will can achieve on earth.

However, this degree of love can be continually increased and lead to a unity with Me which will become close enough for Me to seize My child with all the fervour of My love, so that, with indescribable happiness, it will be able to hear My voice and be filled with such strength of love that it will long to pass it on …. However, this degree of love is rarely found on earth …. But My direct communication has a tremendous effect …. an effect, which no human being on earth could endure. For this reason I can only use a very small amount of strength when I take care of people, when I want to help them, but it still has an incredible effect on people while their degree of maturity is still low …. In fact, when I use a human being to speak to them I also speak to them directly …. but the strength which compels people to believe in Me is reduced, in as much as My communication will always be the language of the person I use …. whether I speak to them directly through this person or whether they hear the Words which this person has received directly from Me …. the people will always feel that the spiritual values were ‘passed on’ to them, they will always first hear the words of the human being acting as mediator, and, depending on their degree of love, will become aware of Myself and My love …. so that, in fact, something extraordinarily important will be given to human beings which can be of real help, but which will never affect them in its fullness of strength, because they would not be able to bear it ….

And likewise the mediator …. the form I use to express Myself …. will be affected by this, in accordance with his degree of love, because he too will only be able to hear the sound of My voice after he has achieved a higher degree of maturity, so that he will receive clear evidence of My presence …. But for the most part he will merely hear My message, the working of My spirit in him, in his thoughts. Although in that case he indeed serves Me as a mediator, I can reveal Myself through him to all human beings, but the flow of My love’s strength will affect him just as little as the people to whom I speak through him …. because he too has to walk the earthly path with complete freedom of will …. which would be prevented by any extraordinary communication on My part. Nevertheless, amongst the people who offer themselves to serve as My instrument I can only choose those who can meet the specific conditions …. Because I offer people a tremendous gift of grace even before the end, and it takes strong faith and willpower to place oneself at My disposal as a mediator for this gift of grace, which will have only become that strong by virtue of a life of love ….

(11.07.1956) Love and faith are indispensable for a mission, which constitutes a service to Me as well as a service to other people, to be a mediator between Me and the people. The person must be completely convinced that I can and want to communicate in order to help people …. and this conviction of faith has to be obtained by a life of love. Only then can I mould this person into an instrument and let My emission of grace flow towards all people …. which will, in fact, result in a state of bliss for their souls but which will not be experienced as unusual by the people themselves.

However, if My strength of love also touched the person’s mind he would no longer be calm enough to hear and record My spirit’s pronouncement, then he would only be affected by My illumination of love himself. Imparting it to other people, however, would be impossible …. Nevertheless I want to use him to talk to all people, and that requires an instrument which will completely submit to My will, which will only want to be My instrument for the purpose of a mission ….

And thus it can only receive its reward in the spiritual kingdom, whilst it will not receive any particular privileges during its earthly life apart from those which I have promised to all labourers in My vineyard: that I will look after them spiritually and physically, that they are under My protection and will be constantly directed and guided by My care. They should not be prompted to surrender to Me due to an unusual feeling of blissfulness which would be synonymous with a force of will, but they should be prepared to serve Me and other people of their own free will and unconditionally believe that their dedication can be a service to Me …. This kind of faith and will is blessed by Me, and My blessing will help the soul to mature. Thus, people can receive an undeserved grace during the final days, an unimaginably effective emission of grace which, if it is used correctly, can help them to ascend, yet without being spiritually compelled to do so. My direct message can be heard in a manner which is endurable for people because the illumination by the light of My love will occur in disguise, which the said human form shall facilitate …. Consequently, people will receive an amount of strength which will benefit their maturity of soul but which can be increased at any time depending on how My gift of grace is used …. by way of which I still want to save people during the final days before the end ….

Amen

New birth means resurrection ….

B.D. 6593 from July 12th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

The day of your new birth is also the day of resurrection for you …. As soon as your soul reflects on its purpose of life on earth, as soon as it makes contact with Me, with the spiritual kingdom, as soon as it begins to strive towards Me and My kingdom, it emerges from its grave of darkness, it awakens to new life …. For the new birth of the soul is precisely the change from the realm of My adversary into My realm. The soul still dwells on earth but it was born into darkness at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being and of its own free will has made its way to the light, thus it has emerged from its grave as soon as it was able to liberate itself from its shell with the help of Jesus Christ, as soon as it has now attained a spiritual rebirth and its thoughts and aspirations are now spiritually directed …. So it has also experienced a resurrection from the night of death to the light of day …. Thus the ‘day of resurrection’ refers to this change which the soul can still make on earth and which also guarantees it a ‘life’ in light and strength in the kingdom of the beyond …. whereas souls can also remain in the state of death after their departure from this earth but still have not passed away …. For no soul will be able to pass away, no matter how immaturely it departs from this earth, it will only be in a death-like state, without strength and in densest darkness …. It exists but is not resurrected to life …. A resurrection is certain for every person who makes an effort in earthly life to establish the connection to the spiritual kingdom …. who thus strives for an ascent upwards of his own will, who does not allow himself to be satisfied with earthly existence alone but acknowledges a higher being, entrusts himself to Him and completely surrenders himself …. whose soul thus experiences a new birth when he carries out this inner transformation and surrenders himself to Me of his own free will …. And such a soul will not need to fear earthly death either, for it merely escapes the external shell, the body of flesh, and enters the kingdom of the beyond with a transfigured body, because it is once incorruptible and because it has also overcome death, the darkness and powerlessness which exclude ‘life’ in the spiritual kingdom …. and because something living is also visible to the equally living …. And the soul is happy to be able to get rid of its body of flesh, which was only a fetter for it as long as it lived on earth. But immature souls also discard this bodily cover and yet remain bound, they remain in their grave, in darkness, in a state of ignorance, to their own torment and hardship …. But they, too, can still rise to life in the kingdom of the beyond, they, too, can come out of their grave, they, too, can attain to the light with the help of Jesus Christ, if they call upon Him, Who rose from the dead, Who conquered death, that He may roll away the stone before their grave, that He may take away the guilt of sin which held them in the night of death, in the grave …. so that they too may come out into the light of day …. All men can rise from the dead, but Jesus Christ must give them succour …. And if He is already called upon on earth for His help, for redemption from sin and death, the soul can also already experience its resurrection on earth, and it will then never die again, even if the human being suffers earthly death. Yet every soul is immortal …. i.e., it no longer passes away, and no matter how much it is in the grave of its sin, it must endure the darkness of its grave, it must realize its complete lack of strength to be able to rise from its grave …. it cannot and is dependent on help …. And if it therefore accepts help which is offered to it in love, then it will also remember Him Who alone can help it to resurrection …. it will call upon Jesus Christ, Who Himself rose from His grave, Who overcame death and Who can loosen every fetter …. Who offers His hand to every soul so that it can rise from the grave and now enter into life, which it can no longer lose either ….

Amen

God needs servants in the time of harvest ….

B.D. 6594 from July 14th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

In the time of harvest many reapers are needed, and then I also constantly accept servants who want to serve Me. The time of harvest has come and much work still has to be done so that even the last fruits still come to maturity, so that they can be brought into the barns …. And the wheat will be separated from the chaff …. You all know these words which I spoke on earth and you will now also understand them when you know and believe that the end is near, that this time has now also come when I need faithful servants in great numbers who are willing to work. Much good seed has been sown and there could be a good harvest; yet not every seed has fallen on good soil, not every seed has sprouted and been nurtured with the love of an eager farmer who wants to extract good fruit from his soil. But I am thel lord, and all land is My possession, which I handed over to diligent labourers who were to cultivate it and build it up on My behalf. But when the time of ripeness has come I must still recruit many labourers to help Me bring in the harvest …. I must send out My servants to work in My name, to proclaim My word, to admonish and spur people on to loving activity, they must speak in My name and for My name …. point to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, and to the near end, they must do everything to still save souls from darkness …. Then they will do the work of a faithful servant in My vineyard, only then is it possible that many good fruits will come to ripen, which I can gather into the scouring pits, which I can call into My kingdom, which will be separated from those who will be burnt as chaff in the eternal fire …. Once the hour of the end has come, then everything will also irrevocably come to light which is unfit to give life, which must not be regarded as fruit but as an empty husk that serves nothing but to be burnt and scattered to the four winds …. But in the end the harvest shall be great, and therefore the growth of the smallest plant shall be observed and encouraged with all love …. For a good servant can do a great deal if he lovingly nurtures and cares for even the smallest plant …. if he exposes it to the rays of the sun and diligently waters it with water of love …. A good servant can still bring Me much fruit, and I will bless him for his effort and perseverance which can bring Me an abundant harvest. Therefore I cannot use servants who are careless and lazy, who don’t perform their service properly, who are only active in pretence because they believe they can deceive Me …. And My call is therefore again and again addressed to those who are still willing at the last hour to enter My service, since I accept everyone because time is pressing until the end …. And whoever wants to serve Me I will also give him the strength to be active for Me …. Only he must take his work for Me and My kingdom seriously, for it is urgent, after all, the rich harvest for Me means a loss for My adversary …. It means awakening to life, an escape from certain death …. And this is why servants can contribute much if they follow My call and do what I instruct them to do: if they carry My word into the world, if they only ever speak of Jesus Christ and His work of love, if they proclaim His divine teaching of love and thus plant good seed in the soil so that it can still sprout and bear abundant fruit before the end comes …. For there is only little time left but it shall be well used …. so that I can reap a rich harvest ….

Amen

Miracle consequence of faith ….

B.D. 6595 from July 15th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

My love is and always remains turned towards you …. And My love only ever wants what is best for you, it only ever wants your soul’s salvation, which will continue to exist when the body has passed away. Everything that affects you in earthly life is based on My love, and therefore you need not be despondent and anxious for a minute, for My love levels everything in its time, it creates the balance where body and soul are unequally considered, that is, where the soul is in danger due to the use of the body and yet shall mature according to My will. You can always be firmly convinced that I keep a watchful eye and know about your spiritual as well as your physical needs and will remedy them at the right time. Therefore you need not worry, whatever it may be, for I Myself take care of you. I only require of you that you completely hand yourselves over to Me, that you don’t go your own way, that you are always willing to let yourselves be guided by Me …. that you therefore let go of every worry and trust Me completely that I will provide a remedy for everything that distresses you. Every worry of your own is a lack of trust and hinders Me in My plan of love. But if you completely hand yourselves over to My will and believe in My love and My might, then you can truly travel your earthly path unencumbered, for My love protects you from getting into danger if you only let yourselves be guided by Me. Hence this is a convinced faith which truly makes you come alive, for then every burden will fall away from you and you will be able to be unusually active, for then you will also receive strength which you will then use in My will …. I ask much of you …. to believe that I am present to you, Whom you nevertheless cannot see …. But you who hear My word directly, you who are addressed by Me through My messengers, this belief should be easy for you, for My voice is proof of My presence to you …. And thus, if you know Me Myself present to you, you can nevertheless also be convinced that I know about all your sufferings and hardships and that I can remedy them …. And then you must also believe that I will remedy them when the time comes, otherwise your faith would still be very weak and then also explain your hardship. I am your God and father, your creator from eternity …. Everything has come forth from Me in wisdom and power and so also you yourselves, whom I have created out of My love …. You should only think of this My creative power, of My wisdom, might and love, then every anxious worry will fall away from you, because then you will know that nothing is impossible for Me …. And because My love always and forever applies to you, I will also use My power if you should become healthy in body and soul …. but I can only ever use it when this no longer means compulsory faith for you …. You shall not attain faith through miracles but you shall also experience miracles through faith …. And it is truly easy for you to let such faith come alive in you, for I work on you so obviously, I speak to you, I let My word resound in your heart …. and you only need to tear down and overcome one thin wall, the quiet doubts which still arise in you from time to time …. You only ever need to imagine My great love for you and then you will also be certain that this love will do everything for you in order to give you life and that it will also sustain your earthly life as long as you want to be active in a life-awakening way. Throw all burdens away from you and entrust yourselves to Me, and know that your saviour and redeemer lives, that He took all infirmities upon Himself so that you may become free from them ….

Amen

Spiritual low impact of unredeemed sin debt ….

B.D. 6596 from July 16th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

The burden of sin weighs humanity down …. It is not that people feel this burden physically, but that their souls are downcast, which manifests itself in low-mindedness, in godless lifestyles, in unbelief and world hunger …. in completely materialistic thinking and striving. Hence the spiritual low on earth is the effect, the sign of the still unpunished guilt, it is the consequence of a life without Jesus Christ, for people have not yet found their redemption and their souls still carry the immense burden of their sin themselves and are depressed by it so that they cannot lift themselves up without help. Thus God’s adversary still has full power over these people and expresses himself by driving them to act contrary to God, by withholding all knowledge from them and only ever being concerned about keeping them outside divine order …. There could not be so much misery in the world if this adversary were not able to cause so much harm, yet people themselves allow him his disastrous activity, they are in bondage to him, for they are still entangled in the sin which handed them over to him when they fell away from God and followed his adversary. They will not let themselves be freed from this great sin by the one Who has the power to also loosen their chains, by Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for the sake of this great guilt of sin, Who redeemed it for all those who believe in Him and place themselves under His cross …. But people do not believe in Him and are therefore unredeemed and thus in the power of the enemy of their souls. And this is the great spiritual adversity in which the whole of humanity finds itself except for the few who have found Jesus Christ and also found redemption from sin and death through Him …. The earth is meant to serve the fallen spiritual to mature. And on this earth God Himself came into the world in the man Jesus to help people free themselves from their bondage. And all people could redeem themselves completely if only they would turn to Him, to Jesus Christ, and acknowledge Him as their liberator and ask for His help …. But only a few believe in Him, in His mission and in their redemption …. They are still so deeply in sin that their lord can easily prevent them from turning to another for help because He ensures that the knowledge of this helper is withheld from them. But God in His love grants this knowledge to all people, and truly, all could make use of it and dare to try to release themselves from the adversary’s bondage …. For the time being they could only want to be released from their burden which weighs them down, then they would truly already be helped …. Instead, his influence becomes ever stronger, for people also reject the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, as misguidance without once taking a closer look at it. And they cannot be forcibly brought to believe in it …. But neither can they find salvation without faith in Him. And this explains the spiritual low which causes God to put an end to His adversary’s activity …. For people who have sunk to the depths would be irredeemably lost if they were not wrested from the adversary and reintegrated into the process of development which leads them up from the depths again, even if it takes an infinitely long time. The graces of Jesus Christ’s act of salvation remained unused by the people of this time, and therefore their stay on earth is no longer long …. And satan’s activity, which tries to prevent people from finding Jesus Christ, must also be stopped. But he will not keep the soul even though he believes to be its master forever …. For as soon as humanity has reached a certain spiritual low, God’s love will take care of it by allowing a new earth to arise through His will and His might, and the spiritual substance which failed as a human being will take up residence in it again in a just order …. And again it will have to go through the course of development until it will be confronted again to confess Jesus Christ and let Him redeem it …. For only He can redeem the guilt of sin which burdens every being, and only He can give it freedom and redeem it from satan’s bondage ….

Amen

Relief action on souls beyond ….

B.D. 6597 from July 17th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

The task you have been given does not only extend to the people on this earth but the souls in the kingdom of the beyond have also been handed over to you for care, because they, too, shall be given the opportunity to be listeners of the divine word, so that they can still make up for what they missed in earthly life …. so that they can still find Jesus Christ there, to Whom they have to take refuge in their adversity and distress in order to be redeemed by Him …. Love must also be preached to those souls above all …. because only then can their state of misery be remedied when they acquire strength of love through their own will to love and only then can they be active in love. In the last days before the end the redemption of the souls in the beyond is urgent insofar as they are more willing to accept the divine word, the gospel of love, than people on earth …. and because every soul which ascends in the beyond can also be a helper for earthly people again if it can now mentally influence them and its endeavour will only ever be the spiritual salvation of those. Where the influence from person to person is only weak, there the influence from the spiritual kingdom can still be successful if people think of deceased loved ones and these have already reached a certain degree of light …. to which you, as diligent labourers in the vineyard of the lord, can help them. This is why your task is particularly important, and again and again you will be admonished to fulfil it conscientiously, so that such a rare opportunity can be exploited where the souls of the kingdom of the beyond can fetch nourishment for their souls …. Although the same nourishment is also offered to them in the spiritual kingdom, their degree of realization is so low at first that they cannot assess what is offered to them and are more inclined to reject it, as they did on earth. But through your mediation they feel addressed and charitably touched, because God’s grace makes it particularly easy for them to attain faith in the last days, and because these immature souls are still too closely connected to earth, so that they are also easier to influence from earth …. just as, conversely, their efforts will later also be directed towards people on earth whom they know to be in the same need after their physical death. These connections and actions of help from earth to the beyond and vice versa have always been possible, but in view of the end they become more evident when people are aware of their task and lovingly commit themselves to the salvation of the souls …. Then God particularly blesses such connections, and His blessing also means success. The number of souls still struggling for salvation is endless, but God’s love and grace is also endless …. But a ray of love also has an endless effect …. And if a person only commits himself with love for the redemption of a single soul, this redeemed soul will then be able to be active again to such an extent that countless souls will find salvation through it again …. And therefore, with your help countless souls can still be saved before the end. You should always remember this and always bear the significance of your task in mind. Then you will be eagerly at work and tirelessly create and work for God and His kingdom …. And God will bless your work, for you will help Him to bring back that which is already eternally separated from Him ….

Amen

Beatitude or renewed banishment depends on free will ….

B.D. 6598 from July 18th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Whatever you may desire on earth, your wishes shall be granted …. For you will receive whatever you desire once your life on earth is over. If you desired spiritual possessions, the spiritual kingdom will provide them to you in abundance, if earthly commodities had been your wish then the earth will accommodate you again …. the matter you aspired to will become your cover once more as it had been an incredibly long time ago …. But you will always have created the fate yourselves which is granted to you after your passing away …. If, however, the grace is bestowed upon you to be recalled before the end of this earth, then a short time will still be granted to you during which you can still discard earthly desires, during which spiritual wealth is offered to you once again which you need only seize in order take possession of it for the sake of your salvation. Yet once again it depends on your free will whether you still make use of these final blessings or let them pass you by unused in order to then be embodied into earthly creations once more because you asked for it. But you can only be blissfully happy in possession of spiritual wealth …. This is My constant admonition and call for caution which applies to all people as long as they still live on earth …. You will all have to bear the consequences of your earthly life, for it is the law of divine order which cannot be revoked by My love and I cannot, for the sake of ‘grace’, bestow beatitudes upon those who live their lives on earth contrary to My will, contrary to My eternal order …. who are merely the servants of the world and therefore deprive themselves of the expectation of a blissful spiritual kingdom …. As long as this earth continues to exist My flow of divine grace is still open both on earth as well as in the beyond, and all wrongly thinking and living souls will be offered blessings but they shall all keep their free will ….

However, as yet there is still the possibility of a change of will, all those who are misguided …. be it on earth or in the beyond …. still receive kind-hearted advice to consider their actual task; as yet the spiritual world eagerly endeavours to gain access to people’s thoughts on earth, just as beings of light approach the souls on the other side, and they all only strive to direct their thoughts correctly, to turn their eyes towards Me and to awaken a desire for light in them, so that they will not walk past the fountain of grace where it opens itself, from which they can draw to benefit their souls. But even this time of grace will come to an end and then the day will come without fail when every soul receives what it desires …. And anyone who never paid attention to spiritual wealth will be left empty-handed and will have to accept a dreadful fate …. Then the period of Salvation will have come to an end, then an infinitely long night will start for the souls whose will was wrongly directed …. But inconceivable bliss will be granted to those who made an effort to reach Me and learned to despise earthly commodities …. The kingdom of the beyond, however, will likewise be only a kingdom of bliss, for all wretched souls will have to go through the excruciatingly painful process of development again, but only in order to one day attain the freedom again which they had misused in this earthly life. Sooner or later all beings will be able to make a free decision again and it will depend on them whether they prolong their time of agony or enter into beatitude again within a short time …. But all will receive help to reach the goal, for I pour out My blessings without limitation, and anyone who makes use of the blessing will be relieved from all adversity and pain ….

Amen

'God breathed a living soul into him ….'

B.D. 6599 from July 19th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

My eternal plan of Salvation intends to bring about the deification of your souls, which indeed had once been divine and perfect beings yet they forfeited this perfection of their own free will …. You humans should know that I did not externalise you from Me as imperfectly as you are now, that I undeniably created the human form, but the soul, which animates this human form, had already spent an infinitely long time of changing its voluntarily fashioned, completely wrong state to such an extent that it was able to dwell in the human form in order to attain complete deification again. You must know that I did not create you imperfectly to then demand of you as human beings to perfect yourselves …. because nothing imperfect can emerge from Me …. Once you are in possession of this knowledge you will also consider your earthly existence from a different point of view …. You will realise that it is not an end in itself but the means to an end …. However, as long as you are lacking this knowledge you justifiably believe that you may use your earthly life purely for the sake of improving your physical well-being …. You believe that you may use your energy of life purely physically, even if you aspire to the goal that every individual person should improve himself ethically in order to achieve a better human race …. But you don’t understand the spiritual task of the individual yet …. The human being himself is not the final goal, the existence as a human being is merely the final opportunity on this earth to reach the highest goal. And the teaching that I ‘created man so that he should love Me, be of service to Me, in order to thereby enter Heaven’ is only justified if the human existence is looked upon as a limited stage for the soul which once became imperfect, otherwise this teaching will lead to wrong ideas, such as the one that something ‘imperfect’ …. the soul …. was joined to the human being at birth, that thus something imperfect was brought to life by Me …. This not only confuses the image of My nature, which is supremely perfect, but also people’s train of thought, who do not grasp their actual task on earth and will therefore be increasingly more worldly orientated because a wrong concept is being developed in them.

Although through love for Me and selfless service the human being could indeed be able to attain the right realisation and subsequently beatitude …. it will nevertheless prevent love being kindled towards a Being which uses its creative strength for the emergence of imperfect creations; and even selfless service lacks the right motivation if people are unaware of the perfect spirits’ former apostasy from Me, which consisted of the fact that they wanted to rule with arrogance …. hence they discarded the principle of love …. Their imperfection was caused by the beings themselves …. However, the fact that you are imperfect as a human being cannot be doubted, and therefore you must first try to ascertain the reason for your imperfection and not be satisfied with the explanation that I created you the way you are on earth now …. But the latter is endorsed by all those who portray the act of creation of the human being such that a ‘soul’ is ‘created’ at the same time for this human being …. which they deem they can justify on account of the Words ‘God breathed a living soul into him ….’ The fact that this living soul is a formerly fallen original spirit is not known to them …. but this knowledge could be discovered by every individual person if only he seriously questioned the meaning and purpose of earthly life and his task on earth. And even a misguided teaching could make a person question, if only he wanted to gain clarification …. And especially the teachers who guide people should first attain clarification themselves, which they can receive at any time by merely turning to Me Myself if slight doubts, which everyone can feel arise within himself during deliberation, would make them turn to the right source, where purest trust will refresh anyone who desires it. The reason why there is so much darkness amongst people that misguided teachings were able to spread is due to people’s indifference towards the truth, for it is available and within reach for everyone who seriously desires the truth. Yet only a few try to penetrate My eternal plan of Salvation …. but for them everything is obvious and they are brightly enlightened because the Light of eternity Itself kindles it in all those who want to escape the darkness ….

Amen

The crucifixion started a period of Salvation ….

B.D. 6600 from July 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

My crucifixion concluded a period of redemption in a spiritual sense …. A hitherto hopeless state had come to an end, for until My crucifixion entering the kingdom of light had been impossible and even with the best of will people only attained a degree of purification; yet eternities would not have sufficed in order to completely remove the sin of the past rebellion against Me …. Thus, the weight of this guilt of sin forced them to stay under My adversary’s control, so that the tormented souls in realising their adversity cried for a Saviour. However, from the moment I gave up My life for humanity’s immense sin My adversary’s power was broken, and thus a new time began …. The first entirely redeemed souls were able to leave their place of abode and enter through the gates to bliss, which I had opened …. This possibility remains as time and again souls will be able to release themselves from His power, time and again souls will liberate themselves from all shackles. The period of ‘salvation’ therefore began when I gave up my life, although the development through the creations and life on earth have been necessary for complete salvation and were only ever brought about to create the prerequisites which would then result in the complete return. And therefore one can indeed speak of a new time since the accomplishment of My act of Salvation, for only from then onwards was it possible to grant the souls the eternal happiness in which they were once permitted to live in light and strength …. Nevertheless, people are not aware of the fact that they are able to attain the most beautiful state, precisely because I Myself died on the cross for them in order to build a bridge from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of light …. They are not aware of the fact that they voluntarily hand themselves over to My adversary’s control again if they don’t acknowledge My act of Salvation …. that they cannot expect any other fate than that which was granted to the souls of people before My crucifixion: bondage and darkness, weakness and torments, which are the share of the unredeemed over which My adversary still has power.

The Saviour came from above and was only recognised by a few …. But the act of Salvation has been accomplished …. the gate into the kingdom of light was opened, and for this reason a new period of Salvation began with My crucifixion, even though Earth as such did not show any particular manifestations …. For it was only possible to change the hopeless state at the time through the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ and the act of Salvation, through a conscious inclination towards Him, through the acceptance of the sacrifice of love and thereby the redemption of the guilt of sin …. And once again people were granted a period of time during which, with good will, they were able to achieve complete redemption …. But this time has now expired, the incredible grace people were granted is not and will no longer be utilised …. People remain bound to the adversary’s world because they make no attempt to release themselves and because their own free will must strive for this liberation. And thus a limit has to be set again; a new period needs to start, where the act of Salvation is highly valued again, where redemption can take place on a large scale, because the effect of the act of Salvation remains unchanged if only the will of people allows for this effect. However, those who are unwilling must once again feel the shackle of their captivity severely, so that even in these beings the desire for freedom, for blissful happiness awakens one day …. And My adversary must be deprived of this power over these beings which he keeps in such darkness that they can’t see the light of the cross either …. And again, a new period will begin, for higher development of the spirits continues to progress constantly, and new souls will keep coming into this world, which are granted the opportunity to allow themselves to be liberated by Jesus Christ …. Time and again I pour the blessings of My act of Salvation upon these souls, and time and again such souls will also return to Me as My children …. For the act of Salvation has been accomplished for all once fallen spirits, and it did and will take effect on all people, past, present and future, until the day redemption has been completely achieved ….

Amen

Natural disaster before the end ….

B.D. 6601 from July 21st 1956, taken from Book No. 71

The end of this earth and of all living creatures upon it is inevitable …. No creations on earth will remain, people and animals will lose their lives apart from the small flock of those who will be raptured in the flesh. This last act of My will has been planned from the beginning, time and again it has been proclaimed to people by seers and prophets, and is now announced to people again with all urgency as being close at hand, because it will be so enormous and no-one shall experience the end without having been informed of it. Yet the proclamations find no credence …. An event is approaching people, the enormity of which cannot possibly be imagined …. and yet it is dismissed as implausible and the admonitions and warnings are futile, for no-one prepares himself for this enormous happening. People don’t believe in an end …. And thus I will proceed with My final exhortation …. I will still give the unbelieving human race a last sign in the shape of a natural disaster …. the scale of which will also be huge but it will only affect the earth to a limited extent, so that they will no longer think it impossible and seriously take account of themselves as to whether and how they can be justified before Me at the end. Great events are often foreshadowed …. The natural event, which will be followed by the end shortly afterwards, is intended to be a final admonition, for it will cost many human lives, countless people will fall prey to the elements of nature, or little impression on the hardened hearts can be expected which, however, shall still be saved prior to the destruction …. I have always spoken though the mouths of prophets and even now I keep speaking through My devoted servants …. Yet people do not listen to this language apart from a few who believe My Words and are therefore willing to influence their fellow human beings according to My will ….

But now they shall clearly hear My voice and not be able to close their ears, for humanity’s indifference motivates Me to disturb them and shake them out of their tranquillity, their worldly spirit …. so that no one will be able to claim that he received no warning. But even this warning will not result in turning to Me completely, because people don’t want to recognise My voice and because I do not use force which impels people to come to Me …. Then the end will sweep everything which remains in opposition to Me away, for every human being still remains in opposition who does not turn to Me in view of the previous immense destruction …. which demonstrates My might …. Everyone still remains in opposition who thinks that an end of this earth is impossible, for he is spiritually unenlightened, which betrays his affiliation to My adversary …. I still try to break this opposition by all possible means without using force. And this final intervention will truly appear to be a cruel method yet I use it for the sake of your salvation, because My Words are not being believed and because the end is near to which they will then inevitably fall prey, and then their spiritual state will be the decisive factor as to what fate awaits them on the day of Judgment. And time and again I say to My servants that they cannot mention the end and the preceding natural event diligently enough, that they should not be afraid to draw people’s attention to the fact that they will not have much time left, that they should unhesitatingly speak about My eternal plan and that they therefore should also spread My Gospel, so that people know what I expect of them as not to descend into darkness as a victim of the forthcoming event …. I only ask for a loving heart which is willing to make sacrifices …. Then they will be able to wait for the coming events without fear, then they will belong to those who will emerge unscathed even if everything around them threatens to disappear …. However, dreadful things will be in store for those who do not want to believe …. And then I will have mercy on everyone who calls upon Me in his adversity, for I only want to rescue people and not let them fall prey to ruin …. For the end will come without fail, and then everyone will be judged in accordance with law and justice ….

Amen

Grace of embodiment as a human being ….

B.D. 6602 from July 22nd 1956, taken from Book No. 71

No human being is aware of the unheard-of grace of being allowed to live on earth, for no human being recognizes his actual self …. No human being can appreciate what he was in the beginning and what he can become again through a right earthly life …. He once shone in inexpressible beauty, his abundance of light and strength was unlimited, and therefore his bliss was also unlimited. But no human being on earth can imagine such bliss and abundance of light and strength, and knowledge alone is not enough to grasp the great grace granted to the being that it may embody itself as a human being in order to emerge again from a freely chosen state which it had created for itself but which is completely unworthy of this perfect being …. But the fact that the human being cannot grasp it is well thought out by God, otherwise the earthly course could not result in free development to ascent but would force every being to ascend, which, however, would eliminate the attainment of perfection. And thus the human being stands, as it were, completely blind in an area which he has to walk through in order to reach the aim. And his blindness would always let him go astray if he were not accompanied by a guide who offered him his guidance. This guide will now tell him what he can achieve, he will also present his deficient state to him as self-inflicted and again and again spur him on to change it, but he will also leave him full freedom of will to listen to his ideas and to lead his way of life accordingly or to go his own way. But no human being needs to go through life without spiritual guidance …. And this, too, is again a grace …. therefore a grace, because once the being stood in brightest light and voluntarily gave itself to this light. Thus it spurned something divine, it rejected what God’s great love bestowed upon it when He created the being. And this was a sin which justly had to lead to complete darkness …. and justly also meant a wasting away of God’s love and mercy …. But the divine love and mercy does not deny itself eternally. But it is and remains an act of grace that God gives these fallen through their own fault the opportunity to work their way up again, even though this happens in such a way that the human being himself is not aware of the significance of his earthly existence. But God also tries to provide him with the knowledge about it, only ‘knowledge’ and complete ‘realization’ are still different, but the human being can acquire a degree of realization that he is able to believe what is presented to him as knowledge. Yet a single glimpse into his original state of light would render the human being incapable of further striving, for he would then perish under the force of his sin …. But he shall reach his former state of light again. For this reason every possibility has been opened up to him through God’s love and grace, thus he finds himself in a perpetually flowing flow of grace of divine love which can also lead him to the aim if he completely surrenders himself to it, if he does not ‘swim against the current’ …. that is, if he does not offer inner resistance to those spiritual guides who are extremely eager to help him progress, but who nevertheless leave him complete freedom. But anyone who willingly allows himself to be steered and guided will come ever closer to his original state, and soon he will also recognize in his spirit the truth of what is presented to him …. he recognizes God’s infinite love and grace, and then he humbly submits himself to the God and father he has recognized, and he desires Him with all his senses …. Then he can already be permeated by a small light of realization which, however, is only a faint reflection of the original light which once completely permeated him …. But then the grace of embodiment as a human being bestowed upon him was not ineffective, and then he returned to the father, from Whom he is no longer able to separate even in eternity, for love has now indissolubly united him with the eternal love ….

Amen

Commitment for truth ….

B.D. 6603 from July 23rd 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Without hesitation you should support the spreading of truth, for I guide it to earth for this purpose, so that light will shine amongst you humans, so that error and lies, which are never helpful for the soul’s salvation, will be invalidated. You humans must walk in the light if you want to attain beatitude. But error and lies are darkness and never lead upwards towards the eternal light. Anything that deviates from the pure truth, which has its origin in Me, must always be regarded as My adversary’s activity, whose only aim is to extinguish light, to fight the pure truth and to keep people in spiritual darkness. And now you can also understand that his activity will never lead you to Me; you can understand that his activity will be made easier for him if the human being is indifferent as to whether he stands in truth, because then error and lies can also easily be presented to him …. But anyone who desires the truth will also receive it, for his desire for light will be satisfied by Me Myself. My bearers of light …. the people to whom I can convey the pure truth directly …. But they also have the task of entering the darkness and letting the light shine there. They have the task of illuminating every untrue teaching and branding it as error …. And therefore I also admonish them again and again to speak without shyness where they know their fellow human being to be in danger of falling prey to an erroneous teaching and to oppose him with the pure truth …. with the serious admonition to test with My support. Many misguided teachings have crept into the doctrine which I Myself proclaimed to people on earth …. This has not remained unchanged, and My concern will always be to remove what is wrong, what has been added, so that only My teaching of love will be preserved and people will always be able to draw strength from it, but which is no longer inherent in the falsified teaching …. And therefore this is a work of neighbourly love, to help fellow human beings to become partakers of the ‘strength of My word’ …. by offering them My pure gospel, which exposes everything that is wrong and ungodly and can truly bring light to people if they willingly listen to it. Anyone who earnestly strives towards Me desires the truth in his heart and will not feel satisfied by a teaching which deviates from the truth. But anyone who does not want to give in to a misguided teaching, even if his attention is drawn to the fact that his thinking is wrong, does not have the serious will to reach Me either. My adversary still has him under control, otherwise he would not represent the adversary’s way of thinking. And every person can recognize for himself whether he is offered truth or error if he turns to Me Myself to help him to do so …. For I will truly no longer let him dwell in error who appeals to Me for truth …. And thus the human being need only trustingly hand himself over to Me Myself so that I may guide his thoughts correctly, and he will truly find his way out of the darkness, he will willingly turn to the light which shines for him and shall illuminate his path to Me …. But you should lend Me your mouth so that I Myself can speak through you …. You should speak openly and freely and I will put the words into your mouth which you will then also speak with conviction and thus help your fellow human being out of erroneous thinking who does not oppose you. Truth alone leads to bliss. Where there is untruth, My adversary still reigns …. But every person can recognize truth and error if only he appeals to Me Myself for spiritual enlightenment, if he seriously wants the truth to be revealed to him ….

Amen

Duty to help in case of danger to fellow human beings ….

B.D. 6604 from July 24th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Each of you is obliged to save your neighbour if he is in danger, to help him so that he can escape this danger …. This is dictated by neighbourly love, even though you cannot be forced to provide such help; but one day you will have to answer to God if you have neglected to do so. For you are all children of one father, and if you love the father you must also love one another …. Love, however, ensures protection and shelter for the neighbour, and love always finds a way out, a means to avert the danger, for love is divine radiance and God truly knows how help can be given, and God’s radiance of love also transfers this knowledge to the person who wants to help …. For the most part, however, people live next to each other in complete indifference to the fate of the other. And the commandment of neighbourly love is an empty concept to them. The need and danger of their fellow human beings do not touch them, and the will to help has sunk to a minimum …. because people are without love. Voluntary works of love alone are richly blessed for eternity …. If they are omitted, spiritual wealth will also fail and people will be poor and of dark spirit. If, however, the person next to you is obviously in danger and you pass by this emergency impassively, then you have incurred a grave sin and not merely omitted a work of love, for this omission will be reckoned to you as if you yourselves had put your fellow human being in danger. Whether it is a spiritual or an earthly danger which threatens your fellow human being, you are obliged to prevent this danger if this is within your power …. just as you are obliged to protect your fellow human being’s life if it is in danger. If you only turn away unwillingly you will burden yourselves with an immense guilt for which you will have to answer and which you will also have to pay off and be grateful for if you are still given the opportunity to do so in earthly life …. Admittedly, the duty only ever exists towards God, for you cannot be forced by people into works of love. But what you only do because earthly power commands you to do so does not release you from your responsibility towards God and does not earn you any spiritual riches either …. But you yourselves would be happy to find a helper in the same danger and therefore you also know exactly how to appreciate the value of such help …. And if you fail then it is a sign of utmost unkindness, it is renewed evidence of your attitude which is still completely influenced by God’s adversary. This is why you all have a certain obligation towards your neighbour when he is in danger …. And thus you will now also know that God will not condemn you if you take up arms in an emergency, as soon as you only want to avert a danger, as soon as you want to protect your neighbour if his life is threatened …. But only then do you act in a godly manner, but your motives must never lie in self-love …. The life of the individual human being should be sacred to all of you, for God gave it to you so that you might mature, so that you might regain perfection …. But where this life is in danger, man must take the side of the endangered person and try to preserve his life …. And then even an apparently evil deed will not be contrary to God’s will ….

Amen

Substitutionary atonement through Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 6605 from July 25th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Jesus Christ took your guilt upon Himself as a substitute, the man Jesus gave Himself in order to redeem the guilt of sin for you humans, although He Himself was the purest, most innocent being Who ever lived on this earth. He suffered and died for you …. But God would never have accepted this human sacrifice if it had not been made out of love. For God’s justice demands that every being must atone for its own guilt in order to become free from it …. But Jesus, the man, countered this justice with His greater than great love which was meant for the weak, burdened brothers who alone could no longer muster the strength to take upon themselves and bear the suffering which would have been necessary in order to pay off the immense guilt which existed in the apostasy from God in free will …. He recognized the hardship in which humanity languished and knew that the sin of forsaking its love for God and rejecting God’s strength of love could only be compensated for by a work of love which equalled this great guilt of sin, which therefore had to be superhuman in order to atone for that great sin …. He knew that no human being was capable of such a feat of love because they all lacked the strength which was required to accomplish it …. And He therefore also knew that people …. His once fallen brothers …. were irretrievably lost if help was not brought to them. The man Jesus was full of love for the wretched, and in this love He offered Himself to God for atonement …. And therefore God accepted His sacrifice, which He thus made on behalf of people …. God therefore valued the love of Jesus, the man, extremely highly, because Jesus withstood all temptations of the adversary which were intended to bring forth his self-love …. because Jesus, the man, was completely selfless and did not think of Himself, because He only ever kept the great hardship of His fellow human beings in mind and therefore wanted to help them. Love alone motivated Him to make the sacrifice, and this love alone motivated God to accept His sacrifice. Thus love brought about the compensation so that God’s justice was not circumvented …. that the atonement was made, only not by people themselves but on their behalf by Jesus, Who stood on the same level due to His humanity but through His greater than great love built a bridge to God, Who is eternal love …. That God Himself could now embody Himself in this human being is now understandable, for Jesus was ‘filled with love‘ …. or also …. the ‘love Itself‘ was in the human being Jesus …. And thus God Himself made atonement for the sins of His creatures, God’s love redeemed the guilt, God allowed Himself to be crucified in order to bring salvation to His creatures in deepest need …. The sin of the former rebellion against God was too great to be atoned for by human beings themselves, but God’s love was even greater …. And in the man Jesus this love manifested itself in a work of mercy which was and can be unique on this earth. And therefore every person will be burdened by the guilt of sin as long as he does not make use of the work of love which was also accomplished for him ….. For no human being is able to atone for the immense guilt himself, no matter how great and painful his suffering on earth may be …. Only love redeems, and this love has also brought redemption to you humans in Jesus Christ …. love alone has set you free, and thus God Himself was your redeemer from sin and death ….

Amen

God, the right guide on the earth's migration ….

B.D. 6606 from July 26th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

You still have to go far if you don’t let yourselves be guided by Me, the leader, Who truly knows the right path and Who wants to lead you all to the aim. As long as you humans walk without Me you will move on a level path or you will walk downwards …. For the path to Me goes upwards. But it cannot be travelled alone without My guidance, for it will not be found by people who do not seek communion with Me. And thus you live your earthly life completely uselessly, for what you find on these paths you have taken is like fleeting mist …. they are foam formations which pass away without leaving the slightest usefulness for you. But if you progress upwards under My guidance you will be granted goods which will remain with you forever, which you may take with you into the kingdom of the beyond, which every one of you humans has to enter once, which will be your abode after the death of your body but which will vary according to your earthly change …. And many people go there ‘without God’ …. only a small number are so connected to the creator of eternity that they have chosen Him as their guide and unconditionally follow Him wherever He leads them …. There are only a few people who always stick to Me, who remain united with Me in sufferings and joys, in hardship and sorrows …. who always have Me by their side and don’t take a step without My guidance …. who don’t start any work without having requested My blessing, who entrust themselves to Me in every matter of life, in spiritual or earthly adversity, and ask Me for My advice and My help. But these truly also have the most faithful helper at their side, and they can travel their earthly path carefree, it cannot be missed, and it will not be too difficult either, because I support and guide them and give them strength to ascend. Why don’t all you humans choose this right guide? Why don’t you listen to those who refer you to Me, who want to help you to a successful earthly change? You can all come to the realization that you are subject to a higher power, that One guides your destiny, if only you think a little about yourselves and everything that surrounds you …. Would I demand faith in Me from you if it were impossible to gain it? You can all procure the inner certainty for yourselves that I Am, that there must be a creator Who let everything come into being …. And then you would truly make better use of the short time of your earthly life than you do. And again and again you will all be made aware of this creator and sustainer …. Again and again you are encouraged to think about it, but again and again you unwillingly reject such thoughts. Again and again there are messengers along the path who call to you to leave the level path and turn upwards, and again and again I Myself approach you as an unknown guide and offer you My services …. because I alone know where your path leads to and where you should go …. But you do not listen to Me, the ideas of My messengers leave you unimpressed, and you wander and wander and get nowhere, for your life is an idle run, it constantly moves in the same path …. if you are not ‘bad’ and then inevitably end up in the depths …. But you all know that your stay on this earth is not eternal, and every clever person should make the most of this short time to the best of his ability …. You certainly do this but only in an earthly sense; what you acquire has no lasting value and only burdens you, so that you already don’t want to take the path upwards because you would have to leave this burden behind and it seems indispensable to you. But if you entrust yourselves to Me as your guide then you can be certain that you need nothing more for your ascent than good will and an open heart which gives itself to Me so that I can fill it with My love …. Then you truly don’t need anything else, for with My leadership I will also fully take care of you, and you need only ever turn your gaze upwards and you can enjoy the most glorious region which you behold and which you are now heading for. And your path will only be short if you walk in My company, but it will surely lead to the aim.

Amen

Confessing before the world ….

B.D. 6607 from July 27th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

If you represent Me before the world, I will confess you before My father …. I spoke these words as the man Jesus to My disciples and thus to all people, because all My words applied to the whole of humanity, because all My words belonged to the divine teaching of love which I wanted to be proclaimed amongst all peoples …. And precisely these words are to be valued unusually because they impose an obligation on you humans …. Not only should you believe in Me yourselves but you should also profess your faith to your fellow human beings …. You shall confess Me before the world …. You should therefore stand up for My name before the whole world. Only then will you be accepted by Me, the father, as I have promised you. Thus I am not content with you inwardly believing in Me, with you not doubting Me and My act of salvation, with you perhaps also calling upon Me to forgive your sins, for I require a living faith in Me …. and a living faith cannot help but represent Me before the world, for as soon as the human being has a living faith he will be driven from within to constantly remember Me in Jesus, and then his mouth will not be able to remain silent either, he will overflow with inner gratitude and love for Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation in the human being Jesus in order to save you humans from the night of sin. And I knew very well why I spoke these words, for I knew about the great spiritual adversity which comes upon all people who do not recognize and acknowledge Jesus Christ. And in this adversity people have to take care of them in order to help them to believe in Jesus Christ. And for this it is necessary that they proclaim Me, that they confess Me in Jesus and now also loudly bear witness to Me and My name …. What a person experiences inwardly, what moves him mentally, is not known to his fellow human being …. he must be quite obviously pointed to the divine redeemer, and this can best be done through the testimony of love of those who have found Him and who now prove their living faith in Me by speaking of My work of mercy …. that they openly stand up for Me and My name in front of all people, that they praise My name and describe themselves as followers of Jesus Christ and also try to win fellow human beings for Me. People walk on this earth in order to finally find liberation from the material form …. But no matter how they change on earth it cannot lead to the aim without the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, because I accomplished the work of redemption in Him and therefore everyone who wants to be redeemed from his bondage has to turn to Me Myself in Jesus Christ …. Anyone who is truly liberated, who has found redemption through Him, also praises His name aloud, he will only ever speak of Him and His immeasurable act of love, he cannot help but mention His name aloud, for all bonds have fallen off him, he is free from adversarial power, he has given himself to Me in Jesus Christ, and such an act of transformation is not carried out silently and secretly, it is recognizable to all fellow human beings. For the mouth is not silent where the heart is filled with the love and grace of Jesus Christ, and thus the human being confesses Him before all the world as his saviour and redeemer, and he also seeks to lead his fellow human beings to Him …. He does not deny Him even if he himself is threatened by danger, because he knows that every danger can be averted by the one Who has power over heaven and earth, Whose breath is sufficient to destroy everything, just as His will is sufficient to resurrect what had already fallen prey to death …. And he who has been raised to life does not fear death either …. He will also stand up for Me and My name when the final decision is demanded, yet he will do it out of love for Me, and therefore I will accept him because he confesses Me before all the world ….

Amen

Concept of time and knowledge about it ….

B.D. 6608 from July 28th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Endless periods of time have passed and will still follow …. Time periods which mean eternities for you humans but which will nevertheless come to an end one day, because in the state of perfection there is no longer a concept of time for the being, thus the torment of an infinitely long time is also ruled out for such a being. Yet again and again you humans must be made aware of the eternities you have already lived on earth and that you can already put an end to this infinitely long time of your development in your earthly life if you endeavour to become perfect, so that you will then no longer be subject to the law of time and space, so that you, as most blissful spiritual beings, will also lose the torment of the concept of time, which belongs to complete beatitude. Again and again you must be told that your existence has not only been on this earth since your birth as a human being but that you have already covered eternal times, partly consciously, partly unconsciously, and that it is up to you whether you prolong this time endlessly again or put an end to it …. But in the state of imperfection there is no end for you, only the way of your existence is different …. thus the conscious state can also disappear again, and yet you continue to exist unconsciously, and then you have to cover eternities again until you again have the opportunity to complete your earthly course in a degree of perfection which excludes every concept of time. Although you don’t know anything about the time behind you, and therefore you don’t take your perfection on this earth seriously either …. You may not know it either, i.e. it may not be irrefutably proven to you, because then you would be in a certain compulsive state of perfection …. Nevertheless, this knowledge is presented to you and it is left up to you how you relate to it ….. If you believe in it even without evidence you will also make an effort to reach a degree of light on this earth, you will strive for perfection, and then the ‘end of time‘ will also approach for you. But the unbeliever will not allow himself to be impressed by such knowledge either, and he is in great danger that he will prolong his own time, that he will be bound in the creations for eternities again, that he will unconsciously take an infinitely long earthly path again but nevertheless have to take upon himself the torments of this path, because for the originally freely-created spiritual being every constraint, every bound state is also a state of torment …. That is why the knowledge of this is made accessible to people in the last time before the end, it is presented to them and can lead to greater responsibility towards the souls. Again, this possibility is very small because without faith in an earthly purpose of life, in the attainment of a specific aim, even such knowledge is not believed, because even the teachings about the soul’s course of development are only regarded as fantasies to which no significance is to be attributed. But these teachings are a serious reminder, because it concerns the freedom of every individual soul …. It is about something that every being wants, because it can only feel happy in freedom, but which it …. in order to possess it …. it must also strive for …. And it should be stimulated by the supply of this knowledge, people should think about the term ‘eternity’ …. and relate themselves to it. And they should also know that both freedom and bondage lie within their will, that they will be helped in every way to attain freedom but that they will also not be hindered if they return in free will to the bondage again, from which they have already released themselves and can now completely detach themselves in earthly life. Whether they accept the knowledge as credible, whether they draw their conclusions from it and make it the basis of their way of life, however, this also determines their spiritual state, it determines the degree of maturity they reach on earth and consequently also their state after the death of the body …. But the transmission of this knowledge is also one of the last means of grace which are used to help people in their spiritual adversity …. But everything happens and has to happen without coercion, for perfection can only be achieved in full freedom of will, yet help will be granted to the soul in every way ….

Urgent invitation to communion ….

B.D. 6609 from July 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Just always come to My table and get the nourishment which your soul needs …. Again and again you must take it to yourselves, it must constantly be able to refresh itself at the source of My love, and therefore you must also constantly let Me speak to you, and you must never believe that you have received enough nourishment, for I constantly speak to you because I know that you always need strength and reinforcement, because I must always speak to you so that your souls can become strong and mature. The well of life will never run dry, My table will always be laid for you, but you must come to Me yourselves and never believe that your soul could do without the bread of heaven if it does not want to harm itself. For what I offer it is My strength of love, without which it cannot become blissfully happy …. But beatitude consists of constantly feeling My illumination of love and yet always having a desire for it …. Thus you will never be full but constantly use nourishment which refreshes and strengthens you, which makes you feel your bond with Me ever more …. Thus you will constantly be allowed to partake of the lord’s supper with Me and also have to do so if your bliss is not to be impaired. But My table of gifts is immeasurably richly laid and I want to share everything with you, I want to treat My guests to the best because they are extremely dear to Me. And a good host is happy when his gifts are desired and gratefully accepted. And thus I also want you to come to My table again and again in order to take supper with Me, in order to receive the food which I break and bless for you, which I offer you because I know that you need it and cannot receive enough of it. Love prepares the food for you and love distributes it to you …. Love beckons and calls you, it sends messengers to invite you, and love itself will never close the door but keep all gates open which lead to the source of life …. My messengers will guide you to where My gifts are distributed so that your soul receives good gifts …. This is why you should always find yourselves at My table, again and again you should open your hearts to My address, you should cultivate a constant bond with Me and never let Me go from you …. You should always desire My presence which, however, also proves itself through My address, through the influx of My flow of grace, through the presentation of My word, of the bread of heaven and living water which strengthens and matures your soul. Why do I tell you this? Why do I exhort you so urgently to receive My word? Because times will come when this approach to My table will be difficult for you, and because you have to be prepared for this time, that your souls have become strong and that you will then feel such a desire for My nourishment within you that you will also overcome these difficulties in order to only be able to partake of the lord’s supper …. But for this your soul already needs much strength which it should have gathered beforehand. I truly provide for you abundantly, but you cannot let yourselves be fed and watered by Me abundantly enough …. Believe these words of Mine that you will need a great deal of strength and can only receive this strength through the right food and the right drink. For this reason, however, My love calls upon you again and again to shelter around the source which I have opened up for you …. And you should make use of this grace as long as it is easily accessible to you …. And you will then also be able to overcome resistance in order to come to the lord’s table …. And you have to expect such resistance, for the end is approaching where My adversary will try everything to push you away from Me. Therefore you shall be strong and My gifts shall seem so precious to you that you will only desire them, that you will long for communion with Me and that you will always find your way to where I have laid My table for you ….

Amen

Proclaiming Jesus' teaching of love is urgently needed ….

B.D. 6610 from July 31th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

My Gospel shall be spread throughout the world …. I gave this instruction to My disciples while I still lived on earth, and I give My disciples of the last days the same instruction today, for it has become more necessary than ever to convey to people My Gospel, the Gospel of love, which is unfamiliar or no longer taken seriously by everyone, even though it is well known. People have distanced themselves from Me because they no longer live in love, thus I cannot be with them either. And a life without love will result in certain death for you …. Hence it has become imperative that people be informed, that My teaching of love is proclaimed to them again, that the danger they are in is brought home to them if they fail to live according to My commandments of love, and what they will achieve if they shape themselves into love ….

My teaching of love has to be proclaimed to all nations of this earth, and therefore I send My disciples into the world again …. The teaching material I give to them and which they shall distribute is exquisite, so that people can once again be taught in the same way which I preached on earth as the man Jesus in order to bring salvation to people from their lifeless and constrained condition.

More than ever it has become necessary to emphasise the divine teaching of love, for it is observed far too little. What should be normal for people such as loving each other like brothers and doing for each other what is customary amongst brothers is no longer known to them, everyone just thinks of himself, and everyone regards his fellow human being as his enemy rather than his brother …. There is no community which unites with love, unselfish neighbourly love has almost disappeared but selfish love has grown ever stronger, and therefore people are at great risk of delivering themselves to death and having to linger in this sleep of death for eternities again …. but which they can escape if only love is kindled and practised in their hearts once more. For this reason I repeatedly prioritise love, I Myself constantly preach love; the essence of My Word, which is transmitted to you directly from above, only ever consists of love which motivates Me to help you, and which has to be practised by you, too, if you want to remedy your soul’s hardship, if you want to wake up to life and not ever lose this life again.

And I awaken servants for Myself everywhere …. disciples, which I instruct again as during the time of My life on earth, disciples, to whom I proclaim My pure Gospel with the instruction to pass it on, because I know that people have to be informed of the Gospel of love, of their earthly task to deliver themselves from their bondage and darkness through unselfish love. For although people know My commandments of love they nevertheless speak of them thoughtlessly, they don’t consider them in their hearts and act accordingly ….

And therefore their attention needs to be drawn to them again, time and again they have to be spoken to and stimulated to act with love, they have to be told that they can only become blessed through love because only through love can they come closer to and establish the unity with Me, which has to take place without fail in order to be happy. And thus there is no other mission more urgent than this: to proclaim My teaching of love or to revive it again with reference to the One Who suffered for love and died on the cross. For all people have to be informed of Him Who exemplified to them a life of love, Who was motivated by love to endure utmost suffering and an excruciating death in order to save humanity from the night of death ….

People shall only be taught to look after their fellow human beings with unselfish love, to approach them like brothers and to treat them like brothers …. Only that guarantees their own salvation, but a heartless way of life inevitably drives people into My adversary’s hands, who is devoid of all love. Yet until the very last day of this earth My messengers will still preach love, until the last day they, as My disciples of the end time, will proclaim the Gospel of love, for only the person who accepts it will escape the end and experience My love and mercy to the same extent as he has practised it himself ….

About 'Baptism' ….

B.D. 6611 from August 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 71

You cannot appreciate the immense grace of receiving My Word, since all your questions are answered by Me and any doubts are expelled whenever you turn to Me for an explanation. I answer such questions mentally, too, but you are frequently unsure as to whether you have received these thoughts from Me and thus your doubts are not dispelled, whereas the Word you receive makes you happy as soon as you make use of the grace bestowed upon you by receiving it. Many more questions are on your mind and simply a trusting prayer to Me would suffice in order to receive an explanation from Me, but you turn to Me far too seldom with such requests and thus you are not yet fully aware of the immense grace at your disposal:

Every human soul requires a thorough cleansing, a bath to remove all its impurities which refreshes and revives it and makes it suitable for the work it has to carry out on earth. And every human soul has to be willing to undertake this purification or to submit to it in the knowledge that prior to this it is not as I want it to be, as it has to be in order to approach Me and to stay with Me eternally. But such a purifying bath is not to be understood purely externally, it is an act which has to take place internally, which only becomes outwardly recognisable by a change in a person’s character, thus giving the person himself the certainty to have worked himself out of a morass, to have had a refreshing bath and to then leave it completely cleansed. However, clear water with a refreshing effect cannot be stagnant, it has to be a flowing, living stream, the kind of water that has the strength to purify and revive. Hence you require ‘living water’ …. and you also know what is to be understood by ‘living water’ ….

Time and again I invite you to come to the source from whence the living water flows, time and again I want you to enter into the sea of My love, to immerse yourselves, to allow yourselves to be ‘baptised’ by Me Myself with My Word, which alone has the strength to effect a change in you, which purifies and revives your soul and gives it true life ….

Thus when I said to My disciples ‘Baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost’ …. it is meant that they were to bring My Word to people in My name, the living water which originates from Me …. that people have to go to the source. Love Itself …. the Father …. offers you humans the Word which enables you to reach profound wisdom if you live accordingly and thereby awaken the spirit within you which will give you complete enlightenment …. Your soul needs this Word which alone has the same effect as pure water on your body: that it leaves the bath strengthened and suitable for every task it will be required to do …. And thus My disciples were supposed to carry My Word to all people who were meant to receive something precious with love which was to kindle their love in turn and bring the spirit within them to life …. Living water, however, only originates from Me. I Myself Am the source from whence living water flows, and every human being must have descended into the well of My love in order to receive divine wisdom and to recognise it through his spirit.

This is the baptism which every person must have received in order to become a member of the church of Christ …. the church I Myself founded on earth …. Consequently your will is required first, which has to make the free decision to descend into the stream of My love, to accept My living Word and thereby purge its soul, which will then make My presence possible. My Words are only ever to be understood in a spiritual sense, and no outward process will ever achieve the inner transformation of a being, the purification of a soul. Therefore you should always endeavour to discover the spiritual meaning of My Words which, however, will become quite clear to you when you ask Me Myself in your heart for clarification, because if you genuinely desire it you cannot do anything else but think correctly …. But then you will also accept My Word without resistance when it is given to you by My disciples, and then you will enter into My divine abundance of love …. you will receive baptism …. My love will permeate you with My spirit and guide you into truth …. love, wisdom and strength will then be the soul’s share …. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit will then be constant companions of the souls who let themselves be baptised with the water of life and love ….

Amen

Let the spirit work in you ….

B.D. 6612 from August 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

You must not resist the spirit within you if it wants to express itself …. You must always be ready to listen to it, you must often go into silence and listen to what it wants to say to you. You must consciously open yourselves, for he will never force or try to penetrate too loudly but always wait for your willingness and then offer you delicious things. The spirit within you is the voice of My love which is always ready to sound for you, which constantly wants to speak to you but can only speak to you if you are also willing to listen to Me. And if you seriously consider what a great grace it is that you are privileged to hear My word, then you must only ever give thanks in profound humility for this gift of grace and never miss an opportunity to receive it. And thus the more often you open your heart the clearer you will hear My voice, and I will be able to impart inexhaustible wisdom to you which will make you profoundly happy …. And then you will soon be able to rise above all earthly things, you will learn to regard everything as a quickly passing final test and trial which will then be followed by an eternal, unclouded spiritual life …. Soon nothing will bother you anymore, because your soul will detach itself more and more from the material world and only longs to return home to its father’s house. Only My spirit can convey this to you, and only your spiritual ear can receive it, but you yourselves can shape yourselves through your will such that you will become able to hear My voice, and My gifts will never be limited to you …. But you determine the measure yourselves. It is the law that free will is not ignored, that you must turn to Me yourselves if My ray of love is to affect you. But I do not restrict you, I do not withdraw from you but you yourselves give the reason when it seems to you as if I am not present to you, because a wall immediately pushes itself between us when your will is looking for another aim. And you must also remove this wall again yourselves and you will find Me again because I was never far away from you …. But that you are at a considerable advantage if My nearness is constantly proven to you through the receipt of My word need not be told to you, for your state of soul will prove it to you yourselves, you will feel an inner peace in My nearness and be full of strength because you receive it directly from Me. Let the spirit within you often have its say, just always create opportunities for it to express itself …. So often give yourselves over to inner contemplation, shut yourselves off from the noise of the world and listen to the subtle sound within you …. Want Me to speak to you and listen to Me …. And you will truly go through earthly life richly blessed and also be able to pass on much of the blessing …. For you all need strength and light …. which My spirit gives to everyone who opens himself to it ….

Amen

Feeding the truth …. God's will be done ….

B.D. 6613 from August 5th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

You can only ever be assured that I will convey the truth to you if you desire it. I don’t want you to walk along in darkness, I always want to kindle a light for you, that is, I want to correct every untrue thought, every misguided teaching, I want to counter them with the pure truth so that you will become enlightened and correctly recognize Me Myself as well as My reign and activity, because I nevertheless want you to learn to love Me but I will never be able to win your love as long as you form a different idea of Me through wrong teachings or wrong concepts, which therefore does not correspond to the truth. I want your love …. and you will only love Me when you recognize Me as a supremely perfect being Which in Itself is love, wisdom and might in unsurpassable measure …. But every false teaching makes you somehow doubt My perfection, for it will either question My love or My wisdom or omnipotence …. For this reason I oppose them with the truth, even if you cannot penetrate all depths of it, but I Myself will not submit anything to you which could contradict the pure truth …. of which you should always be certain. For I love you with the omnipotence of divine love, and this love of Mine also guarantees you good gifts …. But often the pure truth will also be incomprehensible to you because your soul is not yet receptive to it, because it cannot yet judge correctly due to its still deficient development …. Nevertheless, you should believe that I correspond to the will and desire for truth and will not let you be misled if bad forces have this intention …. You will indeed always be harassed by such forces but they will not be able to work against Me if I have made the plan to convey the truth to humanity and have chosen a person whom I deem suitable for this purpose …. otherwise the transmission of truth would be impossible, but the end time urgently requires a purification of the already very deformed teaching. Therefore you humans can accept without any doubt what is conveyed to you, for as soon as you are only willing to live in truth you will certainly reject untrue goods but you will also always recognize My gifts as truth …. Only entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith that I will not let you fall prey to My adversary’s cunning and trickery …. As long as you want to serve Me he cannot harm you and it is impossible for him to approach you because your will hinders him. Yet I also occasionally test the strength of your faith in Me and My word, because I demand unconditional faith from you in order to then be able to bestow gifts upon you which seem unusual and yet only require strong faith …. But the slightest doubt makes it impossible for Me because I don’t want to force your faith. There are no limits to you if you want to penetrate the deepest depths of wisdom …. But a faith which has not yet reached full strength sets its own limits …. And therefore I can only ever provide you with spiritual knowledge according to your faith, yet you can accept what I give you as purest truth and thus also represent it to your fellow human beings. For I truly have all means at My disposal to prevent the acceptance of misguided spiritual knowledge if I want to convey the pure truth to humanity, because this is urgently necessary in the last days before the end …. For many people are blind in spirit, many are seduced by unscrupulous leaders …. although their own will allowed it. But all people shall have the opportunity to also take notice of the pure truth which comes directly from Me. And therefore it shall also be able to be guided to earth …. Thus I oppose My enemy’s cunning and deceitfulness with My power, and I can use it where a person fully gives his will to Me …. And there I will resist My adversary to push forward, and he will have to obey Me because the human being’s will belongs to Me. I will guide the truth to earth, and what I will comes to pass …. And never will My adversary succeed in extinguishing or dimming a light which I Myself have kindled on earth ….

B.D. 6614 from August 6th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Every day is a step closer to the end …. This applies to the individual human being as well as to all inhabitants of earth, for what has been predicted since the beginning of this redemptive epoch will come true: the earth will cease to exist in its present form. But every day is still a gift of grace for you humans, for you can use every day to mature your souls. One day you will understand the meaning of these words and you will feel deep remorse if you have not used the time which is still given to you. Therefore you will be admonished again and again to take all relevant advice seriously, for once time has passed it will be too late and then every person will have to bear the consequences of his way of life. Every person should seriously consider his death, which can happen quite unexpectedly, even if he does not want to believe in an ‘end’ of the earthly period …. For no one is safe from a sudden call. But he can expect death without worry if he is prepared, because then he knows that he will only change his place of residence and that this change will truly not disappoint him but bring him a free, blissful life. And the human being is prepared when he feels that he belongs to God, when he endeavours to live for His pleasure …. when he remains constantly united with God through prayer and deeds of love …. Then death does not frighten him, for he is not so addicted to the world that he fears losing it …. And you humans could all create this state for yourselves which would free you from the fear of death. You only need to seriously seek contact with God and then you will also endeavour to live according to His will. But therefore you have to believe in Him and also in a continuation of life after death. And most people lack this faith, therefore they want to live it up on earth, they want to deprive the world of what the world offers them and are completely indifferent to the state of their souls …. And thus death will take them by surprise and they will have to pass over into the kingdom of the beyond in a completely immature state if they are still called away before the end of this earth or have to endure a far more dreadful fate …. to be banished anew in matter. People hope for a complete passing away, for being extinguished, and therefore also their indifference towards death …. otherwise they would not be so calm, since every person knows that death can overtake him any day …. Only faith would awaken the sense of responsibility in them, but without faith they do not possess it. And thus one day after the other passes by unsuccessfully for the souls of men, but the end cannot be stopped …. For God’s plan will be carried out in its time, no matter what people’s condition will be then. But He still admonishes and warns beforehand in every way …. Death approaches people so often and abruptly that even fellow human beings are clearly addressed and could become apprehensive. Again and again people are presented with their earthly task of preparing themselves for the actual life after the death of the body …. Yet the human being retains the freedom of his will. He can only ever be reminded of the end and admonished to make good use of earthly life …. Yet he cannot be forced to believe in it, and the fate that awaits him he creates for himself ….

Amen

God speaks as a Father to His child ….

B.D. 6615 from August 7th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Just as I spoke to My disciples when I lived on earth I still speak today to all those who want to hear Me …. Wherever someone exists who believes in this and opens himself to Me that is where My voice will be heard. However, I only rarely find this faith and therefore Am only rarely able to speak to a person directly, even if all other conditions are being fulfilled, if the person so shaped himself that I can be present to him, if he has purified his heart and prepared it as an abode for Me …. But the belief to be able to hear Me directly nevertheless does not exist and therefore the person fails to do what is most important: to carefully listen within for My voice, for the manifestation of My love, for the sign of My presence, for My Word …. The fact that belief in this has gone astray, that they think it implausible to hear Me directly, is a particular attribute of people’s spiritual state, it is the evidence that the ‘working of My spirit’ is no longer a right concept for them and that they no longer understand the Words of the Scriptures either. Furthermore, it is proof that the striving for the ‘gifts of the spirit’ is omitted, that they are therefore ignorant of the results of a life of love, of a righteous life before Me …. otherwise people would certainly make an effort to attain spiritual gifts and subsequently also penetrate this information regarding the strength of the spirit.

It is indeed very worrying that people no longer see the Father in Me but only their God and Creator, providing they still believe in Me …. The relationship of a child with its Father is unheard of by them and thus they also deem the most natural thing to be impossible, namely the fact that the Father speaks to His child …. This faith only rarely exists and yet every person should be filled by it, only then would every person also make an effort to be addressed by Me and to comply with all required conditions for it. For I Am unable to manifest Myself if conscious attentive listening has not taken place first so as not to impose a coercion of will, but occasionally I will also let My voice be heard by those whose hearts are striving to reach Me, who are devoted to Me in love …. so that they will more often attentively listen to Me within and give Me the opportunity to speak …. But anyone who lacks this faith has not established the right relationship with Me as yet, even if he deems himself called to work for Me and My kingdom. For as long as he still doubts My direct speech his faith will not be alive enough to turn to Me like a child to its Father and desire to hear His voice. However, the fact that people are still so distant from Me even though I would like to be present to all of them …. is a shortcoming which also testifies to the spiritual adversity experienced by humanity during the last days before the end ….

Amen

Fear of death ….

B.D. 6616 from August 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Death is just the passageway into a life which will last forever. You humans would not have to fear death if your life on earth corresponded to My will …. if you had travelled this earthly path in divine order, for then you would not feel terror-stricken in view of death, because then your soul would just rejoice at being able to escape the body in order to return to its home where the earthly body is utterly superfluous, where ceasing to exist cannot be spoken of but where a free life in an abundance of light and strength will await the soul. Jesus Christ arose from the grave on the third day …. He demonstrated to you that there is no such thing as ceasing to exist after the body’s demise, he has provided you with the evidence that a correct way of life merely results in the change of the earthly into a spiritual body, that the human being continues to exist, that only his shell has experienced a transformation, which is absolutely necessary for staying in the spiritual kingdom …. And you all are able to accomplish this change yourselves, and death would then truly have lost its sting. But since you humans do not believe in life after death, you neglect to prepare yourselves for a stay in the spiritual kingdom, and since your soul has therefore no prospect whatsoever to clothe itself after physical death in a radiantly bright spiritual garment you fear death, and rightly so, for you cannot cease to exist but earthly heaviness can still cling to you, and your awakening after the body’s death will not be a happy one …. But you will awaken, regardless of how imperfectly your soul is shaped …. it will find out that it has not and cannot cease to exist …. And this fate is unconsciously dreaded by you humans who fear death.

Yet you ought to remember the One Who has overcome death …. Jesus Christ wants to awaken you to life, He wants to give you an eternally-indestructible life which you shall never lose again. Accept His gift of grace, remember Him during fearful hours and commend your soul to Him, and appeal to Him not to let it fall prey to death, but to have mercy on it and to help it attain life …. And, truly, you will not have sent your appeal to Him in vain …. Your fear will disappear to be replaced by blissful calm, a calm which only Jesus Christ can bestow upon the soul. The living faith in Jesus Christ dispels all dread of death, for the human being knows that he will rise again, just as Jesus Christ arose on the third day.

But anyone without this faith in Him will fear death or believe that he will cease to exist, that he will return into oblivion from where he imagines himself to have emerged …. And he, as well as all others who lived on earth without Christ, will have a rude awakening …. And it will take a long time until they are convinced that they have not perished, but that they can only escape their lifeless state if they call upon the One Whom they refused to acknowledge on earth, but Who alone can give them life again …. Death need only be the transition into a new and immortal life …. It need not worry people on any account, because Jesus Christ has prevailed over it, because He accomplished the act of Salvation in order to deliver people from a condition which had been brought into the world by His adversary …. But Jesus’ act of Salvation and resurrection are not properly valued by people …. Many know of them and yet do not believe, and therefore they are also unable to derive the benefit from the effects of the act of Salvation and resurrection …. But the living faith gives people firm confidence and therefore also removes their every fear of death …. And these will blissfully fall asleep in the Lord and joyfully awaken with Him in the kingdom of light and beatitude …. For they will eternally not taste death again, they will only ever have eternal life ….

Amen

Confessing before the world ….

B.D. 6617 from August 9th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

If you stand up for My name before the world you openly testify for Me and My kingdom, you confess Me as My followers and thus consciously place yourselves on My side. And then you will have fully and completely fulfilled your earthly task, you will have become Mine of your own free will, you will have accomplished the separation from My adversary, the path of return to Me will have ended, even if your perfection has not yet been achieved on earth, but a relapse into the abyss is eternally no longer possible, for the kingdom of light has already received you and the light can no longer be eternally obscured. Whoever has found Me will now no longer let go of Me, just as I will not let go of him because he now belongs to Me …. The open confession of faith in Me has taken all right from My adversary, for the decision has now been made as to which lord you have chosen, and he can no longer do anything against your will. And thus you now also know how highly this decision of faith, which you all still have to make, is to be valued, and you recognize from it that it is necessary for humanity to experience a time of faith struggle which forces it to make an open decision. For there are many people who are not yet clear themselves as to whether and what they believe, who only then seriously take a stand on the doctrines of faith and struggle through to confess or reject when they are completely without faith. For spiritual questions are discussed less and less, and rarely are they the content of conversations or serious debates …. And therefore people will then have to deal with such questions when a clear decision for or against Me is demanded of them. Many will be anxious, many will be determined to reject Me, but My name will also be joyfully known by those who have always been in contact with Me, who have recognized Me and My guidance during their earthly life and who feel My presence so strongly that they testify loudly and joyfully and profess Me. All fear will be far from them and they will still recognize in it a sign of the approaching end that people will be required to confess their faith. And thus they also know that My coming is near, and in this certainty they will also remain steadfast in the face of all threats because they believe in My might and strength, in My love and in the truth of My word, which was conveyed to them and which they may also constantly receive until the end. And as fearful as the weak believers will be, so courageous and steadfast are those because they draw strength from My word, because they are certain of My presence and therefore know no fear and worry in My presence. Neither earthly promises nor threats can deter them or make them waver, for they do not fear for their lives and no longer pay attention to earthly goods, for they had already tasted spiritual goods and thus no longer desire the world. But for the sake of their fellow human beings they have to be drawn into this battle so that the weak can still lift themselves up by them, so that the strength of faith will be revealed in My own. As soon as you humans confess Me before the world you are Mine and are now also under My protection, and I truly have the best in store for you, but you need not worry about what could be best for you …. I will consider you in such a way that you will be blissfully happy, regardless of whether on earth or in the spiritual kingdom …. But I demand the open decision from people, I am not content with the inner acknowledgement of Myself if the outward appearance remains that the person is not My follower …. I demand a testimony for Me and My name even before the world …. For only then will you believe in Me alive, and only then will you experience the blessings of such faith …. My promise will be fulfilled that I, too, will confess you before the father as you confessed Me before the world, so that you will return to the father again as children, from Whom you once wanted to separate and also did so willingly because you denied Me your acknowledgement …. which you must therefore now testify to before all the world ….

Amen

God's will …. man-made commandments ….

B.D. 6618 from August 10th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

What God asks of you is nothing unrealizable but can be done very easily by you if only you have the will to respect God’s will. For then you will receive the strength to carry out what He asks of you. Your original nature was love, for you emerged from the original strength, from divine love. If you are now devoid of all love, then it is due to your own will which turned away from God and thereby also rejected His illumination of love, thus you rejected it …. But if you turn to Him again in free will then you also open yourselves to His illumination of love and receive it in the form of strength which you now also use in God’s will …. for works of love …. because the divine strength of love is an inner impetus for you to likewise be active according to your fundamental nature. And that is all God requires of you: that you voluntarily turn to Him again and are now also able to shape yourselves into love again. God requires this of all His living creations, be it on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond, because without such a transformation into love the being can never find the union with God which alone makes it happy. Earthly life has now been given to you humans for this purpose, and at the same time He also guides His gospel to you …. the knowledge of God’s will and of your earthly task. He makes the divine teaching of love accessible to you in order to first stimulate your thinking, which shall then determine your will. Therefore, anyone who turns his will towards God will also find it easy to acquire the kingdom of heaven, thus to be placed into the state of beatitude which necessitates the fulfilment of divine will. However, anyone whose will is still determined by God’s opposite pole, because the human being himself grants him the right to do so, will have to make great efforts to detach himself from this power, and he will also hardly decide to do deeds of love because he is completely without strength due to his willful turning away from God, which also means that he rejects every gift of strength and expresses this in unloving thoughts and actions. A change in love on earth is all God requires of you humans, for it only applies to the transformation of your wrong will and being to what you originally were. Only that which can lead to this change of nature, only that which promotes a life of love in unselfishness, can be regarded as God’s will. But you humans have arbitrarily given yourselves commandments and thereby pushed the divine commandments, which only demand love for God and your neighbour, into the background, because the commandments issued by you are more respected than those given by God Himself and which alone lead to beatitude. If you want to be obedient, you now have to deal with …. with a ballast which does not bring you much beatitude, which is rather a great danger for you if you forget the divine commandments of love. And again and again you must therefore be enlightened, again and again the divine teaching of love and its effect on your soul must be presented to you. And you must know that you will not get any further if you ignore these commandments of love …. and no matter how eagerly you try to fulfil what you are commanded by people, what, moreover, is presented to you as ‘God’s will‘ …. Only the works of love determine your fate in eternity, and these are not difficult for those who also receive strength from God through their devotion to Him …. As soon as your thoughts, your will, is directed towards God, the spark of love in you will also become a flame, and you will be urged from within to work with love …. And so that you turn your will towards God, He reveals Himself to you in many ways, in creation, in your earthly fate and through His word …. And every person who is of good will can recognize Him ….

Amen

Justification before a court …. Public testimony ….

B.D. 6619 from August 12th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Step forward, My servants, when it concerns defending Me and My teaching, for you will be pushed into situations when you publicly have to acknowledge Me. The circumstances surrounding the act of Salvation will be more and more publicly discussed …. The life of the man Jesus and His earthly fate, His humiliating end, will certainly be deemed possible, but a divine mission of this human being will never be acknowledged, and therefore the belief in Him as humanity’s Redeemer will be rejected and ridiculed in every respect in order to establish a matter-of-fact and non-religious way of thinking in people. And that is the time when you shall come forward …. And anyone permeated by My spirit won’t be able to help himself but to take a stand on behalf of Me and My name, since his inner conviction will let him speak and counteract eagerly and also try to convince his fellow human beings. Hence I prepare suitable instruments for Myself, hence I convey to them the truth and with it also the power of perception, for then it will become necessary that they come forward with their knowledge in order to fight the opponents with the sword of their mouth. Wherever Jesus Christ is demeaned, wherever His mission is doubted and this doubt is openly voiced, you, My representatives on earth, shall recognise and accomplish your task …. You are able to do so because you are informed of My plan of Salvation, because all correlations are clear to you and because you firmly and confidently believe in Him, Who has delivered you from bondage …. Only confident objections such as you are able to voice due to your knowledge can silence your opponents or make them think …. And even if you do not succeed in convincing these opponents you will nevertheless still gain a few people who were affected by it and start to think.

Then you will have to speak boldly and without hesitation, for I will put the words into your mouth and the obvious wisdom of your words will astonish those who are not yet entirely under My adversary’s control. Admittedly, your opponents will scorn and ridicule you, yet for the sake of My name you will have to accept this, as it has often been foretold that you will be judged because you are My representatives on earth. This time will come as certainly as one day will follow the other …. Even if it seems to you at the moment as if the number of avowers is constantly growing …. it concerns the living testimony of Jesus Christ which My adversary seeks to prevent ever more …. His influence is such that people will combine everything …. even religious life …. with the world, that they themselves will finally turn it into something secular but rarely, if ever, establish heartfelt contact with Me, depending on how much influence he is able to exert on the individual person.

Only rarely can true, living Christian faith be recognised, which consists of people cultivating love between each other, of living in the spirit of My divine teaching of love, of their every thought and action being determined by love and thus also being My will. And this is why affirmation before the world becomes ever more necessary, because everyone is anxiously trying to hide their inner attitude if it is good, that is, directed towards Me, whereas campaigns against Me and My teachings are openly coming to the fore. People will always frankly admit their rejection of My Word and Myself, yet fearfully try to conceal their walking in unity with Me. And fellow human beings, still being weak, are unable to get the strength they need and shall also receive by people who eagerly acknowledge Me …. This is why I demand that you will manifestly stand up for Me and My kingdom when this declaration is demanded of you …. For you will only be able to counteract and undermine My adversary’s influence by publicly testifying about Me. Anyone who honestly confesses Me before the world will be able to do so due to his inner conviction, and he will be successful with his fellow human beings and strengthen their faith ….

But as soon as fearful silence is kept, those of little faith will not find the courage to admit to their faith either. The outspoken declaration, however, will release all inhibitions and take away fear, for I Myself will give you strength in abundance if you openly want to bear witness to Me. And then you will also confidently face those who sit in judgment over you. Admittedly, they will spit poison and bile at you but it will hardly touch you, for then the strength of faith and the strength of the Word, with which I Myself will address them through you, will demonstrate themselves …. They will be unable to answer and merely try to pursue you with helpless fury but be unable to get anywhere against My might and strength. But anyone anxiously trying to hide his attitude towards Me will grow increasing weaker, for I will be unable to support him until he acknowledges Me. Hence I keep admonishing you and time and again remind you of My Words ‘Whosoever shall confess Me before the world, him will I confess also before My Father Who is in heaven ….’ Remember this when the time comes that you have to make this decision, and remember that it will not be to your disadvantage, because I alone can give and take, and that you therefore shall first consider My will, My demands, before you comply with the requirements of earthly powers …. if they are aimed against Me and My name …. Confidently bear whatever threatens you if you want to remain faithful to Me, for I can and will avert everything from you if you openly acknowledge Me, and then My might and glory will reveal itself …. Then you will find out what the strength of faith is capable of doing ….

Amen

Sunlight …. (rotation amplified)

B.D. 6620 from August 13th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Nothing I reveal to you through the voice of the spirit will ever contradict itself. It is just that you humans cannot always grasp the right meaning and therefore you sometimes believe to find contradictions where none exist. Consider that the earth is one of the tiniest celestial bodies and that this celestial body is held by the sun into whose sphere it belongs. This sun radiates through the earth, i.e., it gives it light and thus also guarantees all life of plants, animals and humans. The sun again receives its luminosity from the universe, it is fed with light and strength from Me Myself or also from all light-receiving beings to whom all visible and spiritual worlds are handed over …. The incessant exchange of light and strength between Me and all My creatures is necessary in order to also maintain the endless many creations …. So you know that the light of the sun is nothing else but constantly flooding light from Me into the perfect beings, and through them all creations are fed with light and strength. You can therefore explain the light of the sun as a spiritual emanation from Me …. But then one thing must also be clear to you: that this emanation of Myself permeates everything …. That it is therefore well able to radiate through the whole earth, that there is no ‘body’ for it which would be able to stop the luminosity …. Do you understand this? You humans reckon with the laws of earthly matter and earthly-generated light …. But these laws switch off, or they can be switched off, as soon as a disorder has occurred in My great body of creation which has a spiritual cause, thus it also has to be spiritually remedied. Unheard-of spiritual revolutions are preparing themselves, and this always means increased activity …. increased movement …. I do not contain such an upheaval of the spiritual, but I limit its effect to the heavenly body affected by it …. And I truly have the power and the wisdom to also adapt such unusual processes to the lawful order which rules in My whole creation …. Surely it will be possible for Me to integrate a single celestial body into the great order of creation despite unlawful processes, so that the existence of the former will nevertheless remain assured until the time I have provided to end such chaos and restore the original order …. Every law I have given, and every law I Myself can abolish again …. And thus I can also let day and night become day and night according to My will, and the prerequisites for this are given in the very foundation of sunlight, which is only ever spiritual emanation of Myself. Is it not said: “The powers of heaven will move ….” “Sun and moon will lose their glow ….” People on earth will be able to notice many a change if they look around them with clairvoyance and clairaudience, and such changes cannot be explained in purely earthly terms. However, very few people are accessible to spiritual explanations …. But I put the spiritual first, I make the spiritual processes known to you which, however, also reveal earthly effects. What happens in the great human being of creation is beyond your knowledge, yet the world of light also looks after the smallest earthly work of creation and conveys light to it …. Thus the heavenly body earth is also looked after by them and supplied with light, as My will determines and as is beneficial for humanity, so that it does not suffer a lack but also does not necessarily have to attain a view which is detrimental to its spiritual development …. For the human being has his own task, but the revolting spiritual also wants to assert itself, and its activity should still remain hidden from the human being as long as he is not yet aware of the correlations. And therefore no such striking changes in the laws of nature will be recognizable, even though they exist. But remember that nothing is impossible for Me …. And think about what the light is at the bottom of the ground …. where therefore the light of the sun also has its origin …. And do not doubt, but believe …. And you will always find the light in yourselves, as soon as you desire it from Me ….

Amen

Enforced actions are worthless for eternity ….

B.D. 6621 from August 14th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

What you accomplish under duress does not lead to bliss. Regardless of what you do, it has to arise from a degree of love in you, you must do it voluntarily for love if it is to result in a spiritual blessing for you, if it is to lead you towards perfection. This is why the fulfilment of a commandment can never help you attain higher development unless the commandment of love is fulfilled, which I Myself have given you as the most important and exclusive commandment but which cannot be counted as a lawful commandment, precisely because love is something that is free which does not abide compulsion. Thus you must indeed live in love in order to become blessed …. This is what I want to achieve through My commandment …. However, acts which are accomplished without love are hardly the ‘fulfilment of My commandments of love’. For I did not command you to accomplish acts but to practise love, and love cannot be forcibly demanded, love must be a matter of free will and arise from the heart. And thus I can count everything that is done under compulsion as worthless for eternity, even if they are actually good works which …. were they based on the right love …. could provide the soul with supreme possessions. If, however, the accomplishment of good works without love is already worthless for eternity, how much more worthless is the fulfilment of laws given to you by people. Only what you freely do of your own accord is valued by Me according to your degree of love, but I will never look at what you do in order to comply with the duties expected of you unless you also do it because of love for Me and not because you are obeying an order.

You must always make this difference and know that the value of every deed and every thought rests in love alone, but that everything else is worthless if it lacks love. If you therefore seriously examine your thoughts and actions you will soon find out whether you have gathered riches for yourselves or whether have you so far remained poor …. And you will also recognise that I could never have been the originator of commandments which should be complied with as a matter of duty and whose fulfilment is strictly observed …. You will also recognise the invalidity of requirements I cannot have demanded because they signify a certain coercion for the human being which, however, does never correspond to My will. I only value what is done by free will, for I only gave free will back to you in the stage of a human being because you are meant to put it into practice. You shall determine your fate in eternity yourselves, and in order for you to use your will correctly you must also be instructed correctly …. The latter is the only task I asked of My disciples when I lived on earth, and which I have always asked My representatives on earth to do: to teach and to proclaim My will to people …. However, at no time ever did I give the order to establish laws and, under threat of temporal or eternal punishments, force people to keep them …. The consequences of a true life of love as well as heartless conduct should certainly be presented to people, but that should be more than enough …. But people should not be frightened with threats of eternal punishment into conscientiously doing everything that is demanded of them and thereby more likely stifle than arouse the love in them. All spiritual compulsion is to be condemned for it prevents people from making a free decision. The soul’s life in eternity can only be gained through love alone; love, however, does not abide coercion otherwise it cannot be called ‘love’. This is why every person should pass judgment on himself as to whether his thoughts and actions are determined by love or whether they merely comply with laws which were supposedly decreed by Me …. I require nothing else from you other than love for Me and your neighbour …. but which you must grant Me of your own free will …. Only then will you fulfil My commandment and can become eternally blessed ….

Amen

High value of correct prayer ….

B.D. 6622 from August 15th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

Everything will be beneficial for you if you appeal to Me for My blessing. If you come to Me like children to the Father with a request, I will not close My ears but grant you what you ask for. You should be firmly convinced that I will hear you, that I will always lend you My ear and take pleasure in the words of trust spoken by your heart, even if your mouth remains silent. And thus I will guide you on every path you take and will always arrange everything so that it will be a blessing for you …. You are unaware of the rich blessings your heartfelt contact with Me results in, which you establish with Me through a prayer in spirit and in truth. This sincere bond enables My strength of love to flow into you, which will provide the soul with tremendous impetus, it will further its development like a refreshing jet of water turns a bud into a flower …. The soul needs this influx of strength but it cannot receive it if the door to the heart is locked …. which is always the case as long as the human being remains isolated from Me. He must open himself up voluntarily and this happens precisely through his connection with Me in prayer. Every heartfelt prayer signifies a union with Me, because I pay attention to every such prayer …. But if the prayer concerns a spiritual request, My flow of grace will pour out over My child in abundance, and the soul will have taken a large step up. For My strength will not remain ineffective, even if this effect is not obvious to you as a human being. People could so easily change their nature through the right kind of prayer …. A prayer in spirit and in truth is the direct path to Me which gives a person what he is in dire need of: My strength of love …. Then he will be able to meet all requirements I expect of him so that he will become fully mature, he will be able to accomplish the work of improving his soul and need not fear any weakness, for through prayer he can repeatedly receive a new influx of strength and will not fall by the wayside but instead safely reach the goal. But who seriously shapes his soul such that I can accept it into My kingdom? So that it can stay close to Me in order to be indescribably happy? Only a person who sincerely prays to Me …. Few prayers rise up to Me and thus only few people will reach their goal on earth …. The fact that you may pray to Me, that you may approach Me like children to the Father and can also appeal to Him for help, is a gift of grace you humans value far too little; indeed, you often even disregard it …. For you would be able to dispose of all weaknesses through prayer. If you thus have the serious will to reach higher spheres, to attain Me, then prayer is the best guarantee that you will reach your goal, for every request pertaining to your spiritual well-being will be granted, because it is what I want to hear from you: the desire for Me …. However, I will also help you in earthly adversity, for I have promised this as well if you believe firmly and without doubt …. Therefore you may avail yourselves of the grace of prayer at all times, I will always be open for you as soon as you pray in spirit and in truth, as soon as you trustingly present your needs and problems to Me. And you will never have to wait in vain for the fulfilment of your prayers, since a Father Who loves His children will grant their desires providing it does not harm their soul’s salvation. For I will never disappoint a child which trusts Me implicitly.

Amen

Love light ray from above ….

B.D. 6623 from August 16th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

In the midst of the world a ray from above hits you, a light which shall warm your hearts, a light which shows you the path you have to take in order to reach Me. I have certainly placed you in a world of lightlessness because you yourselves are still completely without light when you embody yourselves as a human being. But you shall reach the light of day from the darkness of night, you shall not remain in this darkness forever. And therefore a light from above shines upon you and illuminates your path of earthly life. Admittedly, many paths also go through the night, and these paths are all far more populated, they are far more travelled by people than the one path which has a gentle glow of light. For the even still dark souls often shun the light, and they feel at ease in the darkness. But everyone can enter the path which only asks for light …. Hence you humans need not live in a state of ignorance, you can be instructed at any time and thus increase your degree of knowledge, but then you must also pay attention to the light which shines down upon you from above. I want you to return to Me, Who is the light from eternity. But you are darkened in spirit and would not be able to stay with Me as long as your soul has not become receptive to light …. This is why I guide My light to earth in gentle rays, and anyone who enters the realm of My light of love and grace …. and thus walks the path of light …. will always be able to let more of the light shine into himself and always come closer to Me without having to perish before My light of love …. He shapes himself as he must be in order to be able to unite with Me as he once did. I cannot unite with a dark being because it would perish before My strength of love. But the being can become full of light if it opens itself to the light which constantly shines down to earth …. if the human being accepts My word within himself and allows this word to take effect on him …. For My word is the ray of light which is constantly sent to earth, and anyone who accepts My word thus enters the path of ascent which is illuminated by light. You humans don’t know what a gift of grace the transmission of My word from above is for you, for you still live in the midst of the world which is the darkest region, but you will also see sparks of light flashing everywhere, and it is now up to you whether you follow these sparks of light …. For everything that comes from Me must be light, it must bring you brightness and broaden your realization, your knowledge. And only one thing can achieve this: My word, which is sent to you as proof of love. You should not remain in darkness …. you shall not perish in this world of darkness, you shall be led out in order to finally be able to be blissfully happy in the light again, for the darkened state is only wretchedness. And I constantly help you to achieve this by imperceptibly pushing you onto the path where it is bright …. by letting you make contact with people who are already permeated by light, who have already entered the right path …. who convey My word to you and encourage you to accept and live it out. I direct the ray of love-light everywhere, My divine gospel, which is to impart light to you, which is to transform you according to My will. And My love and care never ceases, again and again people learn about My will and about their task in life, My word can also kindle a light in them again, and blessed is he who guards the flame which once shone for him …. blessed is he who no longer wants to miss My word and now leads his life according to this word …. This one now walks rightly and his path leads him safely to the aim, for he has detached himself from darkness and walks fully consciously towards the eternal light ….

Amen

Calling upon Jesus Christ from the darkness ….

B.D. 6624 from August 17th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

It is not My will that shall determine your fate in eternity, but rather you yourselves, through your will, shall make it either glorious or dreadful; but you can change an appalling situation and, if you want to do this, will always receive My support. And regardless of how dark you are, light will be made accessible to you, and if you desire light then you will always be able to remain therein, you won’t have to return to the darkness, for your will shall always be complied with even in the spiritual kingdom. Don’t reject those who want to make you happy by giving you light. You will feel better than in the dark regions from which everything shall ascend to the light one day, although it has to happen voluntarily …. All of you who dwell in dark regions, be they on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond, are unhappy living creations without peace, without light and without strength ….

These are the effects of sin with which you have been burdened for eternity and which you have even increased during your earthly life as a result of your heartless way of living …. As long as you are not released from this guilt of sin your state cannot improve either. But you can want to have the guilt taken from you so that you can arrive at light and blissfulness. First decide to become free from a restraint which burdens and tortures you …. Resolve to entrust yourselves to the One Who can set you free, and appeal to Him to help you. You all know of the One Who sacrificed Himself on the cross for the guilt of your sins …. You all know of Jesus Christ, but not all of you believe in Him and His act of Salvation. And yet He is the only One Who can help you in your distressing situation, Who can lift you up from the abyss, Who can and wants to grant you light and life …. but Whom you have to call upon yourselves and appeal for help. Anyone who does not believe in Him will not turn to Him either and will remain in darkness forever, since there is no other way to happiness without Him. But time and again you will be referred to the One, time and again a light will be offered to you, a gleam of hope, which you should heed. Turning your eyes to the gleam of light a cross will always shine for you, if you are not entirely obstinate, for in His great mercy He will come to meet you in order to save you …. But you may also rest assured that He will save you if only you want it yourselves ….

And thus I repeat that I do not condemn you, that it is not My will which has determined the fate which makes you feel unhappy, but rather you created it yourselves and you can also change it yourselves if you take refuge in the One Who can release you …. in Jesus Christ, with Whom I Myself have become as one, Who thus is your God and Father of eternity. Irrespective of whether you are still living on earth or whether you have had to shed your earthly cover already …. light will only be within and around you when you have found Jesus Christ …. but without Him you will be living in darkness, without Him you will also be distant from Me, Who had embodied Himself in the man Jesus Christ in order to die on your behalf on the cross for the atonement of your guilt of sin …. Only when a person hands his guilt over to Me with complete faith will he get released from it, and that is entirely up to your own will …. My love cannot do anymore but to keep sending you bearers of light proclaiming My will, who will also kindle a light in you …. Allow yourselves to become illuminated, change and come to Me in Jesus Christ …. and the darkness will recede, bright light will appear and all torments of darkness will fall away from you, you will be able to rise into spheres of light and be and forever remain blissfully happy ….

Amen

Consider the time after death ….

B.D. 6625 from August 18th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

One day you all will have to lay down your earthly body and your soul will be assigned another abode …. Not one of you will escape his fate, everyone can expect his physical death with certainty. Thus you know that your life on earth is limited and that no-one can prevent his body’s death when his hour has come …. Yet in spite of this certainty you live your life on earth as if it would never end. You always plan and work for the future without knowing whether you will still experience it. You don’t take this into account but it is a fact; you only create and work for your short life on earth which does not last. You yourselves, however, will not perish, your soul stays alive even after your body’s death, and your soul is your real Self …. Hence there is, in fact, no death for you, only a change of location ….

If you think about this very seriously then you will act prudently by taking care that this said later location will make you happy. Then your concern will include the time when you no longer live on this earth but continue your life in the kingdom of the beyond which, however, is created corresponding to your conduct on earth. You would all be more diligent if you believed this. The more you worry about the upkeep of your body, the less you believe that you will go on living. You cannot receive evidence for this because your earthly life must not be determined by fear which, however, would be triggered in you, who do not strive to ascend voluntarily, by the certainty of a continuation of life after death. Voluntary aspirants are indeed certain of it, they believe …. but precisely because they strive to ascend. And a striving born out of fear will not lead to perfection. Therefore it cannot be proven to you humans that there is life after death. But everyone can awaken the belief in it himself simply by seriously considering it and wanting to do what is right.

People’s attention will therefore be ever more obviously drawn to the fleeting nature of what they value too highly. People are snatched away in the midst of their lives, and from this everyone could learn to regard his life, too, as a gift that could be taken away from him any day …. And he would only have to pursue the thoughts arising in him in the event of a fellow human being’s sudden death …. He would only have to pursue the departed soul into infinity …. He would only have to think more often of him, who did not cease to exist but merely changed his abode …. And truly, hands would extend to him from the spiritual realm to draw him up.

Yet even if the human being lacks the certainty of life after death he should nevertheless expect the possibility and time and again visualise this possibility when other people die and question what his own fate might be if he were to be called away suddenly. For as long as the human being cannot prove that there is no continuation of life after death …. which will never be possible …. he should always make provisions. And he will never regret if he, on earth, not only considers his body but also his soul, if he gathers a few spiritual treasures on earth which then will help him to advance in the spiritual kingdom. Then the soul will reap what the person has sown on earth, and blessed is the soul which has made provisions on earth for eternity ….

Amen
