Book 72 · BD 6673–6708
Answer to questions about the Immaculate Conception and advantages of the souls of light ….
B.D. 6673 from October 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
I want to help you in all earthly and spiritual adversity so that you believe in My love, in My wisdom and might …. For I love you, My living creations, infinitely, and I also want to gain your love …. I know of your adversity and also how to end it, and I have the power to do so. I gladly demonstrate My love, wisdom and might to children who turn to their Father and trustingly appeal to Him for His consideration and help. I want to eliminate your earthly and spiritual adversity, yet occasionally I demand your patience in earthly hardship for only I know why it had to happen to you. But I will take it from you ….
However, anyone experiencing spiritual adversity will not have to wait long, for as soon as he calls upon Me to consider him I Am will already be willing to help. Spiritual adversity consists of: psychological weakness, thus a diminished will, spiritual darkness and constantly recurring doubts …. spiritual adversity is My opponent’s activity and influence, who very frequently especially dares to tackle people who are already My Own and whom he wants to get back under his control …. And as long as the human being lives on earth he will try to exert his influence, intending to weaken him time and again. Yet as soon as the person turns to Me he will displace My adversary, and I will let My strength flow and give the person light and perception, I will fulfil his request to avert his spiritual hardship ….
You should know that it is My adversary’s intention to extinguish the bright radiance of the light of truth which penetrates everywhere and disperses the region of darkness where only My adversary is able to work. Thus he will try to extinguish the light. He will want to cast shadows across it by raising doubtful questions in the person and thereby intending to obscure the light of awareness. But I will not allow the latter; instead, My light of truth from above will shine down even more brightly, and the light he tried to obscure will illuminate the night even more …. and wherever a shadow still exists it will be consumed by the all-permeating light from Me, for nothing dark can endure this light …. And thus the ‘Eternal Light Itself’ will proclaim to you:
You, who are living on earth …. as well as all spirits which once had lived an earthly life as a human being …. you are the ‘once fallen spirits’, with few exceptions; for beings of light also embody themselves on this earth. Thus beings from the kingdom of light descend to you humans in order to assist you in serious spiritual hardship. Therefore you must differentiate between spirits having fallen away from God and original spirits remaining with God …. the former exist in the abyss as followers of My adversary and the latter stay with Me in all perfection. Furthermore, you have to differentiate between beings which still harbour the adversary’s will within themselves and those which have already entered into My will but are not yet perfected and therefore still subject to his influence. And then you will be able to understand that the latter need to be helped because they are too weak to resist his influence. Thus the mission of these beings of light, which also voluntarily embody themselves on earth in order to help them, will be explicable to you too. And then you will also comprehend the mission of the human being Jesus …. Who, as such a being of light, wanted to accomplish a rescue mission which defeated My adversary’s power ….
All were children of My love …. the fallen beings as well as those remaining with Me, but the beings did not stay the same, they had become different now …. . they were radiant and dark beings which could not stay in the same spheres together. And thus the ‘kingdom of light’ and the ‘kingdom of darkness’ became the abode for these different-natured beings. And no bridge existed between these two realms until the arrival of Jesus, one of My remaining angel spirits, Who wanted and succeeded in bridging this distance through a unique act of compassion. The beings which once had lost their perfection due to their rebellion against Me required someone to help them, since they were too weak by themselves even though the connection had been established, for My adversary also had great power which he was able to use against his former followers. But the beings which had stayed with Me were strong too, since they constantly let themselves be permeated by the strength of My love …. Thus the strength of a non-fallen angel spirit would have fully sufficed in order to achieve victory over My adversary and to save his followers from him …. Yet this contradicted My law of eternal order, given that the free will of all beings which once had followed My adversary would have been ignored, and such an attained victory would have prevented the beings from becoming perfect.
Consequently, another way had to be found …. ‘Love’ had to make a sacrifice, and it had to be every fallen being’s decision to avail itself of this sacrifice, thus to wish that it was also made for itself …. But only a human being can offer a sacrifice; a being of light can indeed have the will to sacrifice itself, but in that case it has to render it as a human being, for a being of light is unable to suffer and also has so much strength at its disposal that it is able to do anything.
A human being, however, is a weak, imperfect being and sensitive to suffering and torment, which needs to muster a vast amount of willpower when it voluntarily accepts sufferings and torments in order to achieve something, not for itself but for its fellow human beings, and which wants to bestow its love on the wretched human race …. It had to make the sacrifice as ‘a mere human’ for its fellow human beings …. It had to be capable of suffering and dying ….
And thus you will understand that the human being called Jesus was not allowed to demonstrate any advantages which would characterise Him as an extraordinary person, even though His soul was a spirit of light …. Although it had not passed through creation like the human beings’ souls, the fallen brothers; nevertheless, this soul, when it entered the body of flesh …. which, like other people’s bodies, was a cluster of immature spiritual substances, thus also subject to the same feelings, longings and passions …. had to learn to overcome these as Jesus the human being during His earthly life. For His mission, apart from the salvation …. the redemption of the gravest guilt of sin …. was to exemplify to people the only way of life which would guarantee them a return to Me. Thus, if people who were completely inadequate, weak and captivated by passions were asked to do something it should be possible for them to accomplish this request …. And if the man Jesus wanted to serve as an example He had to be just like His fellow human beings.
His extraordinary origin, like that of the embodied beings of light on earth which want to be of help to people, by no means infers unusual abilities or advantages which would have required a less stringent fight with himself in order to thus find unification with Me on earth, which is the goal and task of every human being on earth and for which the man Jesus set the example that it can be achieved. All the advantages Jesus had as a spirit of light He surrendered before His incarnation as a human being, or His work could not have been what it is: a sacrifice made by love, the blessing of which should benefit all people …. But neither can it ever be denied that ‘God Himself‘ made this sacrifice because love was the determining factor which so infused the human being Jesus that I thus was able to be in Him after He, as a human being, had voluntarily shaped himself such that I could take abode in Him, that He became a vessel for Me and thus He then possessed strength and light in abundance …. which again is a process that could not just take place in Jesus the human being but which all people should and are able to achieve because they now have help through the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ …. since due to his act of Salvation as a human being he gained an amount of grace which is now available to every person …. And anyone who avails himself of it will also reach the goal. He will likewise find unification with Me on earth, he will be able to receive light and strength without limitation ….
However, you shall continue to receive clarification, because as long as questions arise in you it is also necessary to provide you with the correct answer. And the more sincerely you desire this answer the sooner you will receive it.
The souls evolving from the abyss can expect, as the last stage of their development on earth, to be embodied as a human being, then the process of development will be completed and the soul will enter the spiritual realm, irrespective of how it is shaped when it discards its physical shell. Hence these souls proceed in accordance with divine order, they release themselves from hard matter by way of service and yet rise gradually …. Souls of light embodied on earth, however, only descend to earth for the purpose of a mission, they take abode in the human body straight away but then they indeed travel their earthly path like every other person and are thus also subject to natural law and equally have to struggle on earth …. Their external shell will make the same demands on them, because it is composed from still completely immature spiritual substances, from tiny particles of the soul of a once fallen original spirit which is still in utter opposition to God and which first has to be pacified and changed by the soul, which is always a struggle. The soul is not conscious of its earlier state of light, the earthly body has caused its own darkening, only love will arise sooner and more intense in such a person and disperse the darkness more rapidly too ….
A soul from above will also always turn its eyes upwards towards God, Whom it very quickly learns to recognise. Such a soul will usually not need a long time to unite itself with the divine spark within, which can easily influence it and then spirit and soul will try and succeed to influence their external shell too. Still, the fact that the soul is travelling the path across earth is always associated with the self-evidence that the soul has to fight, because it constantly has to overcome obstacles in this earthly-material world in order to reach the spiritual goal.
Thus no soul is able to ascend without pain, not even a soul of light, since at the beginning of its incarnation it had descended into the abyss, into a state of ignorance, of constraint and weakness …. This should therefore always be taken into consideration when the earthly life of an embodied being of light is assumed to be an easy one. The earthly body is and remains a shackle for the soul until it leaves it. And yet even the body can still vary. The flesh can still be steeped in sin, thus still incorporating much of Lucifer within itself if it is born out of sin, if the people creating a new life are only controlled by satanic attributes. And then again, a being, newly awakened into life, may owe its life to two people’s urge to love, predominantly good instincts could therefore also have entered this being, and thus the external shell will be appropriately natured …. It will carry much of the ‘genetic makeup’ within itself and more or less has to fight hard in earthly life and therefore also arrive at its goal with more or less difficulty …. Yet no human being’s earthly existence remains without struggle …. A light being’s earthly life is in fact frequently exceptionally difficult, because the soul unconsciously experiences its stay in the earthly world as a torment and, for the sake of its mission, often also accepts a very arduous earthly fate.
The process of procreation is now, due to Adam’s failure, unblessed, for it did not correspond to God’s will, Who wanted to give the first human couple His blessings at the right time …. Lucifer participated in the procreation of the people, and he will never relinquish this right (granted to him through Adam’s will) either …. He will always participate in the emergence of new life, even if people’s degree of love can keep him at bay to a point and God’s protection against him is requested …. And now you will understand that God Himself, however, opposes His adversary, when He creates a bodily shell for Himself which He wants to take possession of Himself one day and which should already serve Him as an abode at the time of birth. For God Himself will never ever unite with His adversary in His activity …. And likewise He will not allow the natural carrier of His shell to be taken over by His adversary …. For He, the God and Creator of eternity, Who brought everything into being, Who assigned purpose and destiny to everything, truly has the power to externalise from Himself everything He wants …. thus it will surely also be possible for Him to bring forth a human being without the lawful act of procreation; and it will also truly be possible for Him to keep His adversary at bay until His will is done ….
For God only takes shelter inside a pure cover, He will not unite with something impure …. which, however, does not exclude that the human being in this kingdom of imperfection, in the kingdom belonging to His adversary, is nevertheless subject to all harassments and that his earthly progress is therefore no less anguished and full of conflict like that of his fellow human beings. For without fight there could be no victory …. God’s adversary, however, had to be defeated, and Jesus truly won the most arduous battle which ever was fought on earth …. and He won it as a human being, not as God ….
Amen

Mysterious appearances …. (Flying disks)
B.D. 6674 from October 22nd 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Bear in mind that you live in the last days …. Hence you should not be surprised that My adversary will use every means to prevent you humans from returning to Me. And thus he causes great confusion by trying to lead people’s thoughts astray, by doing his utmost to suppress the spreading of truth, by igniting deceptive lights wherever possible and spreading darkness so that the paths leading to Me and the light may not be found …. You, who have put yourselves under My banner, cannot deny that this is the end time. Admittedly, My adversary’s followers disagree, thus due to their attitude they belong to him already, and his efforts to darken their spirit are not aimed at them …. But he tries to hold on to those he fears to lose, and those he has lost already he tries to regain, and he will do anything to achieve both. He misleads them under the cloak of being likeminded, and thereby only tries to achieve that they distance themselves from the pure truth and accept his error disguised as truth …. thus to spread darkness across the light of truth. During the last days you have to take his increased influence into account, and thus you have to be on your guard and not allow yourselves to be taken in by his deceptive lights ….
This is all I have to say about peculiar appearances to which you humans pay too much attention, which throw you into confusion and make you question, doubt and argue, which remain unsolved mysterious phenomena to you. Do you really believe that I need such things to reveal Myself to you? I will truly use every opportunity to reveal Myself to you humans, but then I will use a human vessel into which I can pour My spirit …. Then I Myself or My beings of light will speak through this vessel to people directly, and whatever I say to them will only ever be a serious admonition to let go of the world and to shape themselves to love, in order to then guide a loving heart into truth, into My eternal plan of Salvation, in order to impart the correct knowledge to him. A true child of his heavenly Father will be satisfied with what his Father says to him, and only ever wants to fulfil His will …. Then it will achieve beatitude …. Why do you long to make contacts in order to gain knowledge which is irrelevant to achieving this blissful state? Every such desire is My adversary’s suggestion, and you readily place yourselves at his disposal as soon as you carry out such wishes, as soon as you call upon forces in the universe without knowing which master they serve ….
Take the simple path. Unite yourselves with Me through love and ask Me for an explanation, and it will be given to you …. But do not speak to unknown beings, for My adversary works with cunning and trickery, he will not even shy away from uttering the name of Jesus, since he will use every means in the last days. This is why I warned you of the time when ‘false Christs’ and ‘false prophets’ will cause trouble …. then you have to be on your guard. Never forget that you live in the last days …. that people themselves will indeed carry out the final destruction on behalf of My adversary …. but that in My eternal plan of Salvation …. based on this very human will …. the end of the earthly period is taken into account …. Never forget that I have constantly proclaimed this end through seers and prophets and that it will now take place as surely as one day follows another …. And My adversary wants to portray this certain end as unbelievable, he wants to deceive you by persuading you through his messengers that it can be stopped, that the earth can be protected from this destruction and thus wants to awaken the belief in you that ‘God’s messengers’ are working to prevent this destruction …. Everything takes its course in accordance with the eternal plan …. You humans should only strive for maturity of soul, and you can only attain this through love, through living in accordance with My will, through heartfelt contact with Me. Then you will live in the light and pay no more attention to deceptive lights ….
Amen

Certain destruction …. Prophesies are fulfilling themselves ….
B.D. 6675 from October 23rd 1956, taken from Book No. 72
It is in people’s nature to pay attention to whatever appeals to their physical senses while turning a blind eye to everything which could elevate the soul …. This, too, is My adversary’s doing whose goal it is to keep the soul away from every glimmer of light and to reinforce the soul’s shell, which is readily accepted by the body. For this reason alone all physical joys and pleasures should make people think if they seriously want to achieve the goal of earthly life, to attain spiritual maturity. But people do not think about such things and if it is mentioned to them they indignantly dismiss it. However, there is not much time left until the end and if results are still to be achieved unusual means of help have to be used which push people’s thought into a direction they would otherwise not want to take.
And many such means are at My disposal in various distressful situations, in misfortunes or unexpected happenings which are all suited to push physical desires aside and to make people become receptive to spiritual influences …. without using force. But under no circumstances will I resort to using mysterious appearances in order to achieve introspection in people. For such occurrences are not suited to encourage people’s spiritual endeavours, they merely increase their urge for research, again giving food to the intellect and not the soul. My adversary, in contrast, will use such methods since they, after all, even impress people who have already found contact with the spiritual world but who expect ‘miracles’, thus they are still very earthly minded. Admittedly, they need not be harmed by such phenomena as long as they continue to stay in contact with Me, nevertheless, My adversary wins many people over for himself, for the more the intellect tries to understand such appearances, the less the ‘spirit’ in them comes into its own.
I will never influence people such that they will be urged into increased intellectual activity, for I want to bring people light and not give them unsolvable problems. And the problems presented to you by My adversary are impossible to solve when it concerns unusual appearances, which he will substantially increase during the last days in order to cause confusion …. And he will also influence people who belong to him such that they will make things appear which are indeed earthly-physical but of a mysterious consistency and which he likewise only uses as a means to confuse people’s thoughts. Anyone who allows himself to be misled by such appearances does not know the laws of eternal order which will go on unchanged, because they alone guarantee spiritual progress …. Whatever emanates from Me, whatever is of divine origin, will always be light and give light to those who desire it …. But whatever remains unexplained, what leads to untold assumptions and continues to remain speculation comes from My adversary who also has great power but only when it is supported by people’s behaviour and attitude.
Then he can also express himself visibly and make phantoms magically appear which are purely an emanation of his satanic will. The means I use to continue winning souls over before the end are different, for they do not restrict the individual person’s free will, whereas he aims to force people into a mode of thought through mysterious appearances and thereby deprive them of their freedom of will …. He will not succeed in using force but people would rather listen to him than to the small, true voice with which I speak to them …. But I will not force people either ….
Amen

'Test all things and keep what is good ….'
B.D. 6676 from October 24th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Test all things and keep what is good …. I say this to those who are inclined to doubt, who don’t possess the ability to make correct judgments and are apprehensive about accepting spiritual knowledge which is offered to them in an unusual way. Accept it with a completely open mind, and then ask Me for enlightenment of spirit and reflect on what you have received …. And, for the time being, ignore what seems unacceptable to you because you are at present unable to understand it, and enjoy what, after serious examination, is credible to you …. I don’t expect you to have blind faith, I expect you to test the spiritual knowledge which is made accessible to you; you are meant to think about it, and it is better you reject what seems incomprehensible to you than accept everything unreservedly, for if you have not formed an opinion about such mental concepts they will not be of benefit to you …. But if you are serious and want the pure truth, then you will also clearly recognise the truth if My messengers offer you spiritual knowledge which has originated from Me. For this Word contains the strength to give life …. providing, however, that life is being aspired to.
Test all things and keep what is good …. Do these Words not contradict the imposition of believing something without thinking about it? After all, I Myself leave it up to you what to believe when I ask you to keep ‘what is good’ …. I leave it up to you because I don’t demand blind faith from you humans. But why do you, who demand that ‘thinking about religious doctrines’ must be avoided, stop people from examining …. Are you not acting against My will? And are you also aware of the consequences such compulsion of faith will have on people? Time and again I emphasise freedom of will, time and again I bring the individual person’s responsibility for his decision of will to the fore, time and again I caution against spiritual compulsion and explain to you what really matters in earthly life ….
And the Scripture, too, provides you with the evidence with these Words ‘Test all things and keep what is good ….’, which should make every person, who genuinely wants to fulfil My will, suspicious that they don’t coincide with the ecclesiastical laws and make him think …. After all, whose Word, whose teachings, are more credible? And you cannot imply any other meaning to these My Words but that you should form an opinion about every religious dogma. You are supposed to form an opinion of it, regardless of who presents spiritual knowledge to you, for even the pure truth coming from Me, which is conveyed to you directly from above, may be scrutinised by you, and I will not condemn you if you think that you cannot accept everything without hesitation …. You should only always seek advice from Me and I will give you the understanding of what you need for the maturity of your souls …. And if you still have a low degree of maturity, you will not be able to understand everything, but you yourselves determine what you are prepared to accept …. Test all things and keep what is good …. For by doing so you prove the sincerity of your attitude and your desire for truth. But anyone who accepts something without checking it demonstrates his indifference, and he will never move within the truth either, because it is irrelevant to him. Yet this kind of attitude should never be promoted by a responsible person, people should be encouraged and not stopped to reflect on spiritual knowledge, for only then will it be beneficial and help the human being attain maturity of soul, since free will is being employed and its decision alone is important ….
Amen

"I am the way, the truth and the life …. "
B.D. 6677 from October 25th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
“I am the way, the truth and the life ….” With these words Jesus tried to make people aware of the significance of His activity on earth. He wanted to point out to them that they were not allowed to pass Him by if they wanted to attain life …. that they had to receive the truth from Him and therefore also had to listen to Him, pay attention to Him. He declared Himself to be the path and therefore called upon His fellow human beings to follow Him …. They should follow the same path as He, the path of love and suffering. And since He described Himself as the ‘way’, the divine redeemer cannot be bypassed, every human being must recognize and acknowledge Him, otherwise he will not take the path to eternal life …. Jesus likewise describes Himself as truth and with these words only expresses that His word is eternal truth, that He alone can bring truth to people, and since truth originates from God, He also bears witness to Himself that His earthly body is the bearer of the eternal deity …. Furthermore, Jesus calls Himself the “life” …. He is the epitome of strength and light, He is the part of all that is perfect, which can create and work in freedom, light and strength, and whoever wants to reach this state of freedom, light and strength must take the path via Jesus Christ, and he will live for eternity …. No human being who ever lived on earth has been able to pronounce these words which the man Jesus uttered: “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” For all the prophets before spoke on behalf of God, and they mostly pointed to the one Who was to come …. to Him Who said of Himself: “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” For in Jesus God Himself entered this earth, and He drew people onto the right path which leads to eternal life. For people were dead in spirit, and if they were to come to life again a path was to be shown to them, and the truth had to be proclaimed to them which they no longer recognized because they dwelled in darkness. And people should remember that they walk along in great darkness on earth and remember these words that they will dwell in darkness as long as they keep away from Jesus Christ if they have not yet entered the right path, where truth and life are their sure gain …. You humans should only remember these words in order to then also know that there can be no ‘life’ without Jesus Christ and that even true thinking and true knowledge is solely the share of the one who acknowledges Jesus Christ …. that people who are still distant from Him, to whom Jesus’ act of salvation is still a dubious concept, who have not yet inwardly confessed Him, thus are not yet redeemed from sin and death, can never move in truth …. They lack truth and life, for they are on the wrong path, because Jesus Christ alone is the path which leads to truth and life. These words of Jesus should be seriously considered, for they clearly represent the lot of those who do not believe in Him …. error and death. However, earthly life was given to people in order to be able to rise from death to life, in order to emerge from the state of ignorance, of darkness, into the bright light of truth, and people were shown the path to follow the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, Who describes Himself as the path …. And no human being will sink into the darkness of death who sticks to Him, who calls to Him, who asks Him to take care of him in the dark valley of the earth …. And all these He will entice with His voice to follow Him …. and His path leads safely to the aim …. He will live in light and strength for eternity and will never again fall prey to death ….

Friendship of the lord …. prematurely call-up ….
B.D. 6678 from October 26th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
How lonely you humans are without Me, even though you can list many earthly friends …. They can leave you every hour, they can be called away every hour and leave you alone, and no-one can guarantee you that he will be there to help you when you need him. For these friends of yours are people who are not yet perfect and therefore can also fail …. But if you have chosen Me as your friend and brother, if you have joined Me, then you can also safely count on Me in every adversity and distress, for I will never leave you, I will never leave you or stand idly by if you get into trouble. You can be called immeasurably rich if you have gained My friendship, which is extremely easy if only you want this friendship, if it is your desire to surrender to Me with all your love. For I, too, long for you and therefore immediately come to meet you when I recognize your will. An earthly path without Me will never lead to success, and even if you are granted a regular earthly life with apparent success …. But the soul gains nothing during its earthly life, and this has therefore been lived in vain. This is why I say: How lonely you humans are without Me, because I thereby describe the soul’s fate, which has no-one at its side to help it to perfection. If only all people would at least make an attempt to entrust themselves to their God and creator, their father from eternity, to give Him a place in their hearts and to let Him advise them as a friend and brother …. But where faith in Me is lacking or where faith is only a dead one, I am not remembered there and My help is not utilized either, but earthly life is consciously lived out with a self-assurance which clearly indicates by whom people are dominated. And their souls remain lonely because the worldly friends cannot give it what it needs. A life without Me cannot lead to the aim, and therefore I very often end a person’s earthly progress prematurely in order to still give him the opportunity to progress one step further in the kingdom of the beyond, which is also still questionable but nevertheless possible …. And before the end of this earth My mercy still has to inflict many a wound which can contribute to a healing of the sick soul, be it through a sudden call-up of this or also through hardship and suffering of a different kind which can already have an educative effect on the human being in earthly life …. I have to put them into such hardship that they look around for a helper in order to then approach them Myself, in order to then be recognized by them as a friend and brother to Whom they now entrust themselves unconditionally. A life without Me is an empty run …. and it will therefore mostly be accompanied by earthly success, because My adversary can work where My presence is excluded. But I try to approach every person, and therefore every person will also have to struggle unusually at times and experience failure, and then I expect his attention to Me …. If this is in vain then My adversary will be at work again and the distance from Me will constantly increase …. The soul becomes increasingly more wretched and My mercy then often releases it from its shell, and then the struggle for this soul begins in the beyond so that it will recognize its loneliness and wretched state there and now turn to the one Who alone can help it …. But one day its remorse will be very great when it realizes how little earthly life was of use to it and how little it achieved because it did not let Me walk beside it, Who truly would have guided it correctly ….
Amen

The ability to think is a commitment ….
B.D. 6679 from October 27th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
You came forth from Me and are therefore of the same fundamental substance as I Am …. Consequently, you had to be perfect, because nothing imperfect can emerge from Me. However, the fact that you, in your human state, cannot be called perfect is beyond doubt, for you both lack strength as well as realisation …. You will have to admit that your knowledge is very deficient and that you are unable to create and work without restriction even if you wanted to …. The latter need not be proven to you because you can detect this inadequate state in yourselves …. But the former …. the fact that you came forth from Me …. is very often doubted. Yet the human being is unable to provide himself with another explanation of his origin which is just as convincing, because even then he lacks the evidence. Thus, you must believe the latter, you have to accept it without proof …. But you can nevertheless come to the inner conviction of it if you, with the will to come closer to the truth, think about your emergence as well as that of the whole of Creation. This ability to think was placed into you by Me, and this ability alone could be proof for you, for it testifies to something living, something self-aware, which cannot have arisen by itself but had to originate from an equally self-aware being. An all-embracing life can be inferred from the human being’s own life because he cannot give life to himself, yet exists nonetheless. For the natural process of procreation is a natural law too, which had to be determined by a Lawmaker first, Whose will it was to let living beings arise. Thus, you could already intellectually conclude that you are living creations by an all-powerful Creator, and then it should make you feel disconcerted that you are imperfect …. Only when you, by using your reasoning power, have come so far as to ask yourselves this question is it possible to inform you by way of thoughts of your earthly task: that you must strive to regain your original perfection, which was your share when you originated from Me. You humans lack the evidence but you are able to think. And this alone obliges you to consider the purpose of your existence and to desire clarification about it …. And I will certainly grant such desire, because you are part of Me, because you are the children of My love which I created for a purpose. The knowledge you are lacking can be attained by you at any time but it requires your own will …. You are not compelled, precisely because you were initially created as free beings which merely used their freedom wrongly but, as a human being, should use it correctly again in order to achieve perfection once more. But the human being will once again misuse his free will if he neither employs his intellect nor his energy of life in order to live the right way of life. This is easily possible for him because he receives enough hints from Me, be it through My Word or through fateful influences, but it is always his will which either reacts positively or negatively …. and this will is free …. Yet the connection between Me and My living creations will remain, even if the human being denies it, for he would not be able to exist were I to withdraw My will, My strength of love, from him. However, he will not feel this connection as long as he rejects Me, as long as he considers himself a completely independent creature …. Only when he, of his own free will, fully and consciously strives for the bond with Me will he recognise himself and his state …. And then he will return to his original state, then he will be able to create and work in light and strength and be indescribably happy ….
Amen

Accepting or rejecting thought waves ….
B.D. 6680 from October 29th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
You are continuously surrounded by thought waves which originate in the spiritual kingdom, which are, as it were, emanations from the good or the evil spirit world …. from the kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness. These thought waves can meet with resistance or also find open hearts, accordingly people will also find themselves thinking which can now be true and good or erroneous and bad. For this the human being determines through his will. He is constantly illuminated or also addressed by beings, and indeed, good and bad beings will seek to transfer their thought powers to the human being and thus be repelled or accepted, for the human being’s thinking is free …. His inner nature opens or closes when these thought waves surround him …. Thus a person of good will, whose nature has already changed, who seeks a bond with God, is also extremely easily influenced by divine currents, he will always willingly open himself to such thoughts which are sent out from the divine realm. His soul will perceive them as beneficial and accept them and pass them on to his intellect, which then deals with such thoughts and thereby establishes contact with such beings who try to instruct him mentally. Likewise is also the process of thought transmission from the dark world to those people who are darkened in spirit. This too finds no resistance …. But what thought material is imparted to these and those people is completely opposite and therefore also to be assessed quite differently. For just as light and darkness are opposites, so are the mental currents which spring from those realms. Nevertheless, both currents have access to all people, so that it is therefore only up to the human being’s will to receive or reject them …. And therefore people can change their will at any time and thus also their thinking, because the thought waves constantly circle around them and both the world of light as well as the dark world constantly endeavour to find access to the human being’s heart. But since the human being now moves in the midst of the world, since his earthly senses are constantly touched by earthly things, his thoughts will also be far more earthly directed, thus the thought waves are caught which emanate from the one to whom the earthly world belongs. Nevertheless, even in the midst of the world the human being can be receptive to thought currents which have a balancing effect, which therefore illuminate the value of earthly things and cause the human being to also open himself to thought currents from the kingdom of light …. so that the human being’s thinking can be healthy even in the midst of worldly life …. And the desire for spiritual knowledge from the world of light can predominate …. if the human being’s will is predominantly directed towards that kingdom which lies outside of the earthly. Then his heart will constantly open and the thought waves will always sound which are sent to him from there …. He will resist earthly directed thoughts or only allow them to approach him as far as is necessary in earthly life, and negatively influencing forces will only rarely have access because the human being’s will prevents this and he can only succumb in case of unusual weakness, which, however, is then always compensated for by strengthened will. As long as the human being lives on earth he is exposed to the influence of both forces, and therefore it also remains a certain battle, a constant expression of will, and as long as this will is weakened God’s adversary has an influence on people, which thus makes itself recognizable in ‘thinking’ …. The whole of earthly life is under the influence of good or evil forces, the human being’s will alone decides, and thus your thinking also depends on how far your will is turned towards God …. For every thought flows out of the spiritual kingdom but it can only touch an open heart. But anyone who desires God resists thoughts which originate in the God-opposing kingdom, even though they will always circle around him ….
Amen

Rapture ….
B.D. 6681 from October 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Time and again you will receive clarification through My Word concerning spiritual problems which you are unable to work out by yourselves …. where My spirit has to intervene if your thinking is to be correct, thus correspond to the truth. Only truth has a beneficial effect, the soul cannot derive any advantage from misguided thinking, instead it will even thicken its surrounding layer because misguided thinking does not originate from Me but from My adversary. Yet people are not always capable of accepting the pure truth unveiled, like children they sometimes have to be taught by way of images and parables which, however, nevertheless entirely correspond to the truth. And wherever this is the case My adversary likewise seeks to intrude and distort these images and parables to prevent people from thinking correctly. And thus it necessitates enlightenment through the spirit in order to provide a correct explanation or to enable someone to understand what was offered to people in a veiled form, what seers and prophets predicted on My instructions. Humanity’s spiritual state demanded such veiled portrayal, because the unveiled truth would have seemed utterly implausible to those who had not recognised people’s spiritual development as their purpose on earth and therefore My written Word …. the Book of the Fathers …. would also have been completely discarded, since the events at the end, had they been portrayed unveiled, would not have found belief and thus given rise to total rejection of My Word. I have always prevented an unveiled description of the final events but always provided explanations if they were needed. But as a result there are also various opinions represented amongst people and everyone endorses his own according to his spiritual state, yet only an ‘enlightened spirit’ will think correctly and be able to ‘unveil’ the ‘veiled’ truth!
The end is near …. and only a few people will be able to observe the developments at the end, because they shall inform the coming human generation on the new earth of My Power and Glory, of the conclusion of the old and the beginning of a new period of Salvation. These few, however, will be lifted away by Me from earth as soon as the end has come. But when this happens much wailing and lamenting will arise on earth, for this ‘process of rapture’ will be seen by all people on earth and triggers …. because it is beyond natural law …. immense terror, for then the people staying behind will know that they will become victims of destruction. These people will not see My coming in the clouds because I cannot be visible to those who adhere to My adversary …. Only My Own will be able to see Me and, full of joy and praise, stretch out their arms towards Me …. And I will lift them up to Me before their fellow human beings’ eyes. And just a few will cry out to Me in intense distress, not driven by fear but in sudden realisation and utter remorse …. I know them and address them time and again, they merely need a profound shock in order to surrender their resistance and hand themselves over in their hearts …. And these are the people who will ‘arise from their graves’ in order to also be taken away from the earth, because I know their hearts, they call upon Jesus Christ with profound faith in Him and His help and thus they will find redemption from sin and death. And the graves will still release many …. Dead people who will arise into life …. People who will be more impressed by the final events on this earth than they care to admit, where only the lid will have to be pushed aside from the grave, which will be achieved by the tremors at the end …. But what will still happens before that can yet contribute towards the awakening of dead souls, for hell will spew out its most evil demons …. And elevated beings will descend from the kingdom of light and the struggle for people’s souls will be plain and observable by My Own, who will then experience the exposure of what had previously only been announced to them in a veiled form ….
Amen
And the scales will suddenly fall from the eyes of My Own, for then they will understand what hitherto had remained concealed to them but what the spiritually awakened person essentially understood. But since people are particularly strongly attached to matter in the end, the knowledge about My ‘plan of Salvation’ for redeeming the souls will also be little known …. And this alone is the key to all revelations which were given to people in a veiled form. People are unaware of individual periods of Salvation even if they believe in a justification, a last Judgment, and in an end of the world. And according to this knowledge they try to interpret the revelations which relate to this end. And the more intellectually they do so, the more confused become their results. My spirit, however, reveals to them in most simple terms the signs as well as the happenings at the end …. And the rapture of My Own will be the last process taking place on this earth before its destruction, before the complete change of this earth’s external shape, which will wipe out all life on it. It is not as if there will still be a long time afterwards in which people can discuss this happening …. for this would undeniably signify compulsory faith for those left behind, no human being would then be able to close their mind to the realisation of a living God and be forced to believe in Him. Yet I don’t use such means in order to gain this faith, consequently the end will come as soon as I fetch My Own from this earth. The horror of this will coincide with the horror of certain death facing those who are left behind, for the earth will open up and flames burst through, people will feel paralysed and incapable of thinking apart from the few which only need a small incentive to recognise Me and call upon Me in utmost need …. But they are known to Me and therefore I will have mercy upon them and their souls will not have to share the agonising fate of the others ….
Whatever will come to pass, it was only possible to give people an illustrative prediction, for they would never have understood it as long as My eternal plan of Salvation could not be explained to them. And people’s low spiritual state did not allow for this …. My Word, however, has always been preached to people, and My Word urged them to be lovingly active. Complying with My Word, complying with My commandment of love would have guided you humans into realisation and thus also into the knowledge of My plan of Salvation. In that case they would have understood the symbolic descriptions, which certainly were understood by those whose life of love had resulted in spiritual enlightenment. Yet the nearer it gets to the end the more people’s thinking will become confused and the more mysterious are the images which their intellect is now trying to decipher. People should only ever try to keep to what I Myself told them while I lived on earth …. They should accept My Words and live accordingly, and they would be surprised to realise that they are becoming enlightened, that they fully understand everything which so far had been ambiguous to them …. for then My spirit can work in them and kindle a bright light for them. However, anyone who believes himself capable of gaining realisation through eager studies yet neglects to live according to My will, will never attain realisation. He will lose himself in ever more erroneous thinking and no matter what he believes himself to have discovered …. he will have to discard it again and find no illumination within himself. Only My commandments of love and their fulfilment ensure your correct thinking, and in that case every Word, every prediction and every indication about the end will be understandable to you, for then you will be enlightened by My spirit, which never errs and always guides you into truth ….
Amen

Contact with the spiritual kingdom ….
B.D. 6682 from November 1st 1956, taken from Book No. 72
All requirements have to be in place if you want to enter into a blessed contact with the spiritual realm, if you want to achieve spiritual benefits and in accordance with My will work in cooperation with the beings of light in the spiritual kingdom, which concerns the redemption of still immature souls. Any contact that you establish with the beyond without these conditions is dangerous for you as well as the still immature souls. As long as a person is earthly minded he will have little desire to make spiritual contact. But if he goes ahead anyway he will only be motivated by earthly questions in the hope of receiving an answer. The will to enter into contact with the kingdom of the beyond also allows the beings of the beyond to access him, for he opens himself …. irrespective of whether he does so mentally or by using earthly help through attending spiritualistic meetings or accepting advice from mediums. But he will not gain any benefit at all from such contact; it is, in fact, a great danger to him which he cannot be warned of often enough. For the evil spirits now pushing close to him would terrify you if you could see it with your own eyes. And these demons take hold of the human being, they answer his questions, yet only in relation to their state of darkness …. and they aim to tie him ever more to matter, to which they are still just as stuck as they were on earth. Beware of such contacts …. For they will pull you down even if you thereby attain the belief in the soul’s continuation of life after death …. because these spirits will not encourage you to work at improving your soul, and in view of the fact that they frequently contradict themselves you can also easily recognise that you are dealing with evil spirits …. The first requirement for a beneficial communication with the spiritual world is a strong desire for truth, the inner urge to accept the truth from knowledgeable beings, but only knowledge of a spiritual content …. Thus the beings responding to their call should not be asked any earthly questions whatsoever.
This kind of communication with the spiritual world can result in many blessings, even if it at first takes place with earthly help or through a medium, for it will soon lead for sure to a purely spiritual contact, which I commend to all of you, because then you will have entered the protected path of being constantly led and educated by Me through My spirit …. for every being of light teaching you on My behalf will also inform you of how you will be able to attain perfection. Your will, your state of maturity, your degree of love is always decisive as soon as you establish a connection with the spiritual world, for accordingly the same beings will approach you …. And since you humans are still afflicted by weaknesses you will also have to fear the appearance of such beings and therefore commend yourselves to Me and appeal for My protection from them in advance …. And this appeal will always be the best protection, for anyone who establishes this connection with Me can always be assured that it will never be detrimental to him. However, the questions which motivate people to seek contact with the spiritual world are rarely of a spiritual nature …. The curiosity to explore what happens in this kingdom, personal relationships with the deceased and desired advice are far more often the cause, and although they will not experience any direct damage to their souls yet neither will they derive any benefit, for the results satisfy the senses more than the soul ….
The spiritual world is constantly in contact with the earth and its inhabitants, and it will do its utmost to uphold or expand every sincere contact. And for that reason I will bless everyone who starts such a sincere bond which makes it possible to influence people and many souls in the beyond in the most positive sense …. But I will also admonish people to exercise greatest caution if they just want to gain an insight into regions which are still closed to them. For they can easily become controlled by forces from which they will only be able to detach themselves with great difficulty …. whereas truth-desiring and sincerely striving people may enter this bridge without qualms, for they will be met by true messengers which will offer them protection and a light that is beneficial for them ….
Amen

Light of truth is bliss ….
B.D. 6683 from November 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Walking in the light of truth must make you rejoice and be glad because then you will also experience My nearness and know that truth is a gift from Me which My love offers you because you have professed Me. You now also know that you are taking the right path, and in this certainty you are blissfully happy. But in what degree of illumination this light of truth will illuminate you …. that is, every single person …. each individual person, each individual must also feel this for himself. The truth can shake him deeply, and it can also only give off a gentle glow which strikes the human being’s heart …. For I certainly speak to every individual Myself, but My voice touches every heart differently, and it is the person’s love which is decisive, which radiates towards Me. And thus the heart also feels differently impressed, yet the human being who receives the pure truth as soon as he desires it always feels bliss. For this reason, however, the same word from Me will be perceived and evaluated quite differently, depending on whether the human heart opens up to Me or still allows itself to be captured by worldly impressions. The human being can already be indescribably blissful on earth if he repeatedly seeks solitude in order to intimately unite with Me …. Then I will also be able to influence him with great strength of love, and then the light of truth will have a shining brightness and prepare the soul for undreamed-of bliss. Yet on earth only few people are able to kindle this degree of love in themselves, because again and again the world pushes itself forward, which certainly no longer needs to dominate the human being but which nevertheless emerges with its demands and thus also has to be observed to a certain extent as long as the human being lives on earth and has to fulfil his duties. But anyone who puts striving towards Me first will also be able to detach himself more and more from the world, and he will succeed in establishing such a deep and intimate bond with Me that he will forget about the world. And I will also guide him through the world in a righteous way …. But those who have already found the content of their life in the light of truth from Me will be granted joys which can no longer be called earthly. The light of knowledge is evidence of the transformation of their being back into the original state in which it was once created …. For it initially stood in knowledge, in the brightest light, it knew and recognized everything and was therefore also blissful …. As soon as it attains knowledge again, it must also be blissful again, the light must radiate through the soul and also let it feel the state of light-filled knowledge. The extent to which the human being himself is aware of this determines his degree of love …. the love he cherishes for Me and his neighbour in his heart. Therefore truth can also be offered to a person who does not recognize it as such because there is still little love in him …. Then the light of love will not reach the soul and cannot illuminate it inwardly. Therefore, anyone who is blissfully happy when he hears My word, who is inflamed with love for Me when I speak to him, should try to increase this flame of love within himself and his bliss will also increase, and only then will the light shine within him and spread a brightness which will make him ever more blissful …. Then he will have overcome the darkness and be a bearer of light himself, then he will be able to carry the light out into the darkness, then it can never go out because the eternal light Itself is in him and fills everything with light ….
Amen

Last days of grace …. means for each individual ….
B.D. 6684 from November 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Only entrust yourselves to the one to Whom everything is subject and His hand will guide you correctly. The struggle for life will become increasingly harder, spiritually as well as earthly, because this is due to the time which is drawing to a close …. What otherwise took much time has to be achieved in a short time, (11/4/1956) and therefore you should not be surprised that an increased degree of suffering and hardship will affect the people of this earth, which shall have an effect on the souls of people who are otherwise in great danger. You, who were introduced by Me into My plan of salvation from eternity, you know the significance of this last time …. You know that it is still a short time of grace for all people and that this short end time decides the fate in eternity, which can be exceedingly glorious but also an agonizing state of banishment. But your fellow human beings don’t know it, and they only ever see the events taking place around them and their own path of destiny …. Yet even without knowledge of the meaning and purpose of this they could become thoughtful and arrive at the right attitude towards Me, their God and creator …. For I truly use those means on each individual which I recognize as successful for him …. But I also have to leave it up to each individual how he allows these means to take effect on him, but each individual would also be relieved of his adversity if only he would give himself to Me in complete trust …. if he acknowledges Me with conviction and then humbly entrusts himself to Me in every adversity of body and soul. And then he can also be convinced that I will take him by the hand and guide him on his further path of life and that he will be safe in My protection …. But as long as the human being has not yet found Me he will also wander lonely through dark, dangerous areas, and because I know the dangers which surround him and would like to protect him from them but cannot help him until he calls upon Me he will often be affected by adversity and suffering where he cannot help himself and now looks around for help …. And good for him if he then turns to Me and entrusts himself to Me for further guidance. Whatever may come over you, you know that one watches over you who are Mine through your will …. but you also know that I must also remember the others who have not yet found their way to Me and that I often resort to means for their sake which sometimes make you doubt My love …. I love all My creatures and do not want their ruin but that they become blessed …. And My wisdom also recognizes the only effective means for each individual. And again and again I therefore address you, who want to serve Me as servants in My vineyard: Do not slacken your efforts to point out the near end to your fellow human beings, whether they want to believe it or not …. And draw their attention to the fact that in every adversity of body and soul there is only one Who can help them and also wants to help them …. but that they have to call this one and hand themselves over to Him, that I therefore demand convinced faith in Me and without which they can never ever come closer to Me and that they can only gain such faith through loving activity …. And I Myself will support you in every way in your work for Me and My kingdom …. I will bless you and put the right words into your mouth, and with My help I will support you so conspicuously that fellow human beings shall find faith easy …. For much will still happen where you will be offered the opportunity to witness for Me and My kingdom, because time is pressing, for it won’t be long now until the end is here ….
Amen

Love power – effect and resistance ….
B.D. 6685 from November 6th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
How often have I assured you humans of My love, which will never cease …. And many times already I have given you the evidence of My love by addressing you like a father addresses his children. And again and again I will speak to you because My love never ceases and because My love wants to give to you what you humans still lack on earth: light and strength …. For I take pity on your weakness and lack of light, which you have caused yourselves. And therefore I come to you again and again to help you out of this state of lightlessness and lack of strength. And I first turn to My children, to those who open their hearts and ears and listen to Me when I speak to them, to those whose souls hunger and thirst for food and drink …. I administer unmeasured delicious gifts to them, I satisfy them and give to them so abundantly that they can now also distribute the bread of heaven to their fellow human beings to whom I Myself cannot yet find access, who still keep their heart’s door closed to Me Myself …. and whom I Myself therefore cannot yet address. Because My love never ends, the care for My living creations will also never end. No human being on earth and no soul in the kingdom of the beyond will be excluded from this care of Mine, for if I were to merely abandon a single being it would also have ceased to exist, because it is My strength of love which sustains everything. What I therefore love I will not let perish either …. but My love forbids all coercion …. This is an irrevocable law, otherwise truly no being would be in an unhappy state anymore. And therefore My love will only be effective where it finds no resistance, whereas it remains ineffective towards all resistance …. Only when you humans know about this principle of divine order will it be understandable to you why you are able to ascertain so little effect of the strength of love and why chaos emerges so sharply both earthly and spiritually …. Humanity resists Me and I cannot touch it with My strength of love against its will …. Nevertheless, I have not withdrawn My eye from it, I look down on it full of mercy in order to always let sparks of light of My love flash where I recognize a weakening of resistance. But I don’t force people to accept the strength of love, I don’t force My love upon them, although it applies to all these unhappy souls. But where it is possible to influence them I also direct My immense streams of grace: I will always and constantly convey My word to earth, for loving children’s hearts beat towards Me everywhere, which I can fill with My flow of strength of love and which are willing to pass it on to wherever a heart opens up …. and I am present to all who remember Me, who turn their will, their love and their desire towards Me, whom I can count as My own, because I no longer find any resistance with them, because I can speak to them and draw them ever more firmly to Me and make them happy the more intimately they devote themselves to Me …. And My love can become effective in them. I can give them such visible signs of My love that they overflow with gratitude and bliss …. But I must restrain Myself where I still encounter resistance in order not to force My creations, which were created in freedom and perfection, which My unlimited strength of love let arise. Love does not tolerate coercion …. and where it is resisted there are also all signs of the activity of the one who is without love …. Just as love gives strength and light, freedom and bliss, so will powerlessness, darkness, bondage and unhappiness be the effects of unkindness, the signs that My adversary rules there, who still drives My creations to resist Me …. But My creature’s will determines this itself, and I can only help it when it gives up its resistance itself …. But My love never ceases, it woos and entices, it gives and makes happy, it seeks to bring salvation and to redeem from the night of death …. And My love will also be victorious one day, and all My creatures will be blissfully happy in light and strength and freedom …. All My creatures will one day recognize their father in Me, to Whom they will give themselves forever, from Whom they will never want to part ….
Amen

Fateful earth run …. terrible happenings ….
B.D. 6686 from November 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
However your earthly life may turn out, it is determined by My will …. And this shall always be your comfort and give you hope that you will be faithfully guided through all dangers of body and soul. Everyone has to travel his earthly path according to My eternal plan, for I know and have known since eternity what every person’s will is like, and his earthly path, his ‘destiny’, is determined according to this will. Yet everyone can move in complete freedom of will and make use of everything that comes upon him to mature his soul or even leave it completely unnoticed …. But everyone also bears the consequences of his life on earth himself. Anyone who voluntarily entrusts himself to Me and My care need not fear failure, for My love will constantly draw him upwards. And only in this way will you have to evaluate or pay attention to everything the coming time will bring you. Everything will be for the best for you who have found Me, who want to be Mine and strive to reach the aim for the purpose of which you are allowed to live on earth …. For I truly take care of your fate, after all, I want you to attain life which lasts forever, and that you can dwell in bliss in My vicinity if you surrender this earthly life and leave your soul to the earthly body …. I Myself want to win you, thus I will also do everything that contributes towards this. But much will still happen on earth which seems incomprehensible to you as long as you only look at it with earthly eyes …. But it cannot remain undone because there is no longer any delay of the end …. because the time until the end is so short that it requires the use of means which I certainly recognize as beneficial but which often make you doubt the ‘love of a God’. And yet, it is love, for you humans don’t know the danger you are in and one day you will sincerely thank Me for having found your way to Me in this great adversity and allowed Me to save you from falling into the abyss, from being banished again from the creations of earth. One day you will thank Me but it will still be incomprehensible to you because you don’t know God’s love and mercy, because you are unable to recognize it in the events which will still cause turmoil among all people. But if you could see the profound darkness which is spread across the earth and if you could look into the depths of the beyond to see how the dark forces constantly radiate their influence on the inhabitants of earth and how willingly they obey them …. you would truly want to put an end to the activity of these beings yourselves and help to release the individual souls from their control …. And therefore I have to use means of force which disempower their activity, I have to do everything in order to only induce people to call to Me for help …. because then the danger will also be averted, because then the soul will safely escape the power of those forces, even if it means the human being’s death …. What does the body and its fate mean if the soul is saved, if it can emerge from it in order to be guided into the beyond by beings willing to help, where countless hands willing to help will stretch out towards it again and help it upwards …. Hell rages, satan rages and the world experiences terrible things …. But you, who are Mine, you know about My love, which is meant for every single soul …. And you should firmly build on and trust in this love which embraces all of you, My living creations, for it will not let you get lost, it will protect you spiritually and physically, as My wisdom has recognized as beneficial for you ….
Amen

Active in love signs of God's presence ….
B.D. 6687 from November 10th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
The inner urge to be active in love is the surest sign that I Myself am present to you, for ‘love’ impels you and I Myself am love …. And I will constantly impel you to be active in love if you allow My presence within you, if you first unite with Me in prayer and thereby call Me to you …. And then you cannot but feel love, for you will be illuminated by My strength of love, you will be constantly urged by Me Myself to work with love. What a delicious assurance it is for you to know Me Myself present to you …. And therefore you will now also understand that unkindness also means being distant from God, that I cannot be where love has grown cold amongst people and that therefore little hardship is alleviated because people lack this inner urge to be lovingly active. And yet, this activity of love is the purpose of your earthly existence, for it means the transformation of your being or reshaping into what you were in the beginning. Every day of your earthly life is lived in vain which does not bring you one step closer to Me through love, for the purpose of earthly life is the approach to Me, the complete union with Me, which can only take place through love. And anyone who has kindled love within himself, who has kindled it into bright embers, can say with certainty that he has found Me, for where love is I Myself must be, because I am love, and where I Myself am present it is also possible to speak of the return to Me, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life. What bliss could people prepare for themselves already on earth where it is possible for them to completely unite with their God and creator, their father of eternity, through love? You only need to ask Me to come to you, to accept you …. and truly, this request would not remain unfulfilled for it is the purpose of life …. it is the conscious change of will towards Me from Whom you once turned away …. And as soon as you express this will to Me through your prayer, I take hold of you …. Your call attracts Me and lets Me be present to you, because this call also only comes from a loving heart …. And if My illumination of love touches your heart because it no longer offers any resistance, your heart will also ignite and then you will feel inwardly urged to be active in love, for then I Myself can be in you and My activity will always be love. And therefore the loving human being will also have inner peace, for it is I Myself Who smoothes all paths, Who always stands by your side, Who now takes care of you, to Whom you can safely hand yourselves over and in Whom you can trust that He will guide you safely and unharmed through earthly life …. You humans can all ignite the spark of love I have placed in you and let it flare up into a bright flame. And from that moment on you will all feel that I Myself am present to you, and then you can also be free from every anxious worry, for then you will have found the father and you will also walk the rest of your earthly path by the father’s hand. But no human being can expect to be able to win Me Myself without prayer and without loving activity, for I keep Myself away from those who don’t remember Me and whose actions only ever betray unkindness, for he is still full of opposition to Me, his nature has not yet changed, he is still a follower of My adversary who is devoid of all love …. But everyone has the opportunity to recognize Me and to change his nature into love, for I Myself step into every person’s path, although I am not recognized by him, but I do not lack admonitions and warnings, I also illuminate the hearts of those people …. to kindle the spark of love in them with My warmth of love. But everyone must also allow the effect of love in his free will, he must give up his resistance against Me. Then I will also come to him and will not let up inwardly stimulating him into loving activity until he completely gives himself to Me and I have won him for ever ….
Amen

God lets Himself be found by everyone who seeks Him ….
B.D. 6688 from November 12th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
People who search for Me will find Me …. but their search has to be serious, they have to seriously want to gain real clarity about the being Which they recognize as the power above them, they have to seriously search for the truth. Then they will seek Me and I will let Myself be found by them. The human being has received the gift from Me to be able to think, and he will now also be surrounded by the most diverse waves of thoughts which originate in the spiritual kingdom. It is up to him which thought waves he accepts and how he utilizes them by virtue of his thinking and intellectual activity. No human being can claim that he has to think in exactly the way he does and not in any other way …. He is completely free to take up or reject thoughts, but let him be told that the will to know the truth about Me, about the all-creating power, also guarantees that he will receive thoughts which are right and true, and that he will now take up these thoughts …. For I Myself accept the one who seeks Me, who desires to know the truth. For this reason it is also possible for every person to recognize Me, otherwise I would not have given you the earthly task to attain unification with Me …. If I require you to establish unity with Me, then I must also make it possible for you to learn to recognize Me, and this can only happen through mental activity, the direction of which, however, you determine yourselves through your will. Every person is mentally active, yet the direction of people’s will is different and thus their thinking is also different …. But if the will is turned towards truth then it will also undeniably come close to this truth, then the right thoughts will flow towards it and it will take them up and process them, and the result will be that it will convincingly recognize a higher being Which stands in highest perfection. If I give you humans this assurance that your search will never be unsuccessful, that I allow Myself to be found by you humans because I Myself desire your union with Me, then no human being will be able to free himself from the responsibility of having determined his attitude towards Me himself, for it was up to his free will. It will be made easy for him by Me, for the right thoughts will truly flow to him as soon as his will is right …. as soon as he desires to recognize Me, as soon as he wants to find Me. But no force can be used, neither from Me nor on the part of My adversary …. And it would truly be brightest light on earth if people would all seek their God and creator of eternity, if their thoughts occupied themselves with the one to Whom they owe their existence …. But I am usually completely excluded from people’s thoughts and not seriously enough sought by those who have a weak faith in a God and creator either …. For this reason I cannot reveal Myself to them, I cannot force Myself upon them and guide them into truth against their will. And thus only a few find Me because only a few earnestly seek Me …. Yet the intellect is nevertheless tirelessly put into action, waves of thoughts are seized and processed which concern earthly things and earthly aims, people are obviously influenced from the spiritual kingdom whose forces want to spread error, for their will determines the nature of the thoughts they receive. However, I cannot reveal Myself to them, I cannot make Myself recognizable to them in order not to forcibly influence their will …. I must still hold back with the transmission of truth until they desire it themselves, until they seek Me of their own accord …. in order to then let them find Me with certainty, because only then will they be able to fulfil their earthly task: to establish the union with Me which now guarantees the final return to Me, to the father’s house ….
Amen

The near end should be mentioned time and again ….
B.D. 6689 from November 15th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
You should seize every opportunity to mention the near end, for you are approaching it with giant strides. Admittedly, you will not be believed, people will laugh at you and mock you, but you should do so all the same, because people will remember your words as soon as unusual happenings take place on earth which are inexplicable to them. Even total unbelievers will recall your words, and amongst them will be a few again who will take the possibility into account and thus spend thought on it. I know that you will only meet with little success when you want to convey the Gospel to them and they will keep their hearts and ears closed …. I also know that the announcements of the end will find even less belief, yet I will not let anything come upon people without warning and admonishing them first, and for this you shall lend Me your mouth …. For I cannot speak to them Myself, after all, their faith is too weak and therefore their hearts are incapable of hearing My voice. But I can do it through you when you tell them what My spirit has revealed to you …. The world event will take its course …. and yet, a few people will relate it to that which they had learned from you. Their thoughts will have been pointed in the right direction which may still be a blessing to them in the forthcoming time. You will find little belief …. That, too, is known to Me …. And yet it is better for them to have been informed than not to have received any indications at all and to be surprised by the end in complete ignorance …. And this is why every day is still a gift of grace for humanity, for it can still be spiritually utilised, both by you through your work of spreading enlightenment as well by those who hear about the Gospel from you. For they would only need to take your words to heart and then live according to My will …. They would only need to make an effort to fulfil My commandments of love and would still be able to achieve much for their souls until the end.
Don’t tire and slacken in your work for Me and My kingdom, because in the last days this is the most urgent work which is more important than all earthly activity, although your fellow human beings don’t look upon it as work and deny it all merit. But people don’t know how useless the work that they accomplish themselves is if they only work in an earthly sense without any spiritual striving, without a spiritual goal …. And you should also draw their attention to the fact that they will not keep anything, that everything will perish and that they are wasting their energy of life by only using it earthly …. they should know that they could use it to obtain spiritual goods and thereby gather everlasting treasures for eternity …. You will find little belief, however, words once taken up by the heart and intellect can certainly be forgotten but they will surely appear again and then may still be effective enough to be taken seriously. Every human being will still be addressed by Me in the coming time, and you support Me insofar as that you are the connecting link between them and Me, that you will only voice what I have to say to them all …. And the events of the time will add to emphasising your words, therefore always be prepared, My servants on earth, for Me to call upon you if I need you ‘to speak on My behalf …. ‘ And don’t think that your work is in vain, because I Myself bless your activity and help wherever your strength does not suffice …. The time until the end must still be used and every opportunity must still be seized where redemptive work can still be carried out on a soul so that it will be snatched from the adversary ….
Amen

What is meant by childship of God ….
B.D. 6690 from November 16th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Just open yourselves to the influx of My love, then you will also be allowed to receive without limitation, for My will to give knows no bounds. It is merely up to you yourselves which measure you accept, whether you yourselves stem the flow of grace and love, whether you are willing to receive. And thus it is also up to you whether and how you make use of what is at your unlimited disposal and thus increase your souls’ degree of maturity accordingly. You only ever have to consider that no limits are set for you by Me, that you can receive everything and therefore also reach the highest degree of maturity on earth, that you therefore have the opportunity to leave earth fully matured in order to be allowed to enjoy supreme bliss, which My fatherly love has prepared for the children. For it is incomparable bliss to be so intimately united with the father that My emanation of love no longer requires any mediators in order to be conveyed to them but directly touches them …. a state of unlimited bliss which only a supremely perfect being can endure, a being which has completely deified itself through love …. Now every creature was originally destined to work and create with Me in My close proximity in unlimited bliss …. But it first had to prove itself worthy of this beatitude in completely free will, it had to consciously want to take its place at the father’s heart and therefore pass a test of will which therefore brought the fall into the abyss for countless beings but at the same time was also the possibility to become a ‘child of God’ from a ‘creature’ …. My aim now is to make all My living creations into children, because only a child can be made happy by Me as My fatherly love intends …. For as a ‘mere creature’ it will never establish this intimate relationship with Me, which also results in the highest fatherly emanation of love …. even if it, being unfallen, is completely devoted to Me. But I demand this unrestricted child love, which I constantly want to reciprocate and thus fulfil …. The love of a child for its father is what I long for …. Undeniably, every being which has once attained the state of light will also burn with love for Me, and this love will increase forever and ever. For this, too, belongs to bliss, that an ever-increasing longing for love also becomes an ever-increasing fulfilment of love and thus the desire for love and the fulfilment of love never ceases. Thus, in the kingdom of light every being is also blissfully happy and will never suffer a lack of faithful fatherly love …. For as soon as they are in the light they are also My children whom I have won for Myself, who have transformed themselves from creatures in free will and who recognize in Me their most loving father Who wants to love them eternally and make them abundantly happy …. Nevertheless, you humans will have to admit that it makes a difference in which period of time this transformation from a creature to a child took place …. The ever-ascending development once guarantees this work of transformation, thus I will not rest until all creatures have reached the state of childship, because this has been My aim since the beginning of what I created, and whether eternities pass by …. Do these words not make you wonder? And do you now recognize the enormous difference when a creature accomplishes this work of transformation in itself during the short time of its life on this earth? When it already establishes the intimate relationship of a child to its father on earth and now strives towards the father with all its senses and its heart burns with love and it gives itself to Him without any resistance? Will not the degree of love of such a soul constantly increase and already be able to lead to full spiritualization on earth? Will such a child not have to take a priority position with Me? Will it not be very close to My fatherly heart if it achieves in its short earthly lifetime what other creatures need eternities to achieve? And it is this priority which I call ‘childship to God’, which can only be achieved on earth, which can no longer be made up for in the kingdom of the beyond …. but which is also only achieved by a few …. but this does not mean that an everlasting ascent is not also possible in the kingdom of the beyond, which likewise brings undreamed-of bliss. My love is infinite but never excludes justice …. And I will always consider all My children justly …. But it is also possible for all My living creations to become “perfect as their father in heaven is perfect” during their earthly life as a human being …. because the human being Jesus died on the cross for this, or also: because I Myself, through My death on the cross, gave you the strength you need for this transformation of your nature. But if you humans do not make use of this extraordinary grace and thus do not achieve this transformation, then you must also grant those who achieve it a priority position with Me. For their struggle on earth is not easy either, but they take it on. Their thoughts and aspirations only apply to Me, all their love belongs to Me, and thus My love will take hold of them and draw them to My heart, and they will never separate from Me because the bond is so intimate and can never be severed again. I alone know every individual soul’s degree of love, and therefore I also know how few people attain the degree of love which results in this ‘childship to God’; yet it is possible to attain it on this earth, but it can only be attained on this earth and thus the love required for this is also unusually reciprocated by Me and therefore earns the soul an incomparable fate in the immediate vicinity of Me ….
Amen

Obsession …. fathers' guilt of sin ….
B.D. 6691 from November 17th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Every human being has been endowed by Me with the gifts which guarantee the maturing of his soul, and whether he is also seemingly deformed by nature physically or spiritually …. Every person’s soul has the degree of maturity which only allows for embodiment on earth. But forces can take possession of a person’s body which come from the abyss, which is also externally recognizable when a person does things which are completely against My order …. but the person’s actual soul is not involved in this, it merely cannot defend itself against these forces which push it back and wreak havoc in the human shell. And the fact that I allow this is also for a wise reason but should not lead you humans to the conclusion that such people will be lost for eternity, for I support the soul so that these forces cannot take possession of it, and the silent suffering it suffers as a result contributes to its own purification, so that its earthly progress will not be unsuccessful either, even though fellow human beings believe they are dealing with a most depraved creature which is ripe for hell …. Now in the last days hell spits out all bad spirits, and these now seek their abode by not allowing themselves to be witnessed but take possession of weak bodies, often in such a way that the affected person is denied clear intellect and all ability to take responsibility …. that the person himself is not aware of him and is called mentally disturbed …. Nevertheless, a self-aware soul is embodied in him, but it is prevented from carrying out its actual task of earthly life by such unspirits who let off steam on behalf of their lord. The souls of these people complete an earthly journey of very special hardship, which can be based on the most diverse causes; but they are also not without spiritual protection, and their helplessness in the face of their oppressors, their tormenting fears often contribute much more to their purification than a normal earthly journey. But the fact that such forces are allowed to make use of a human body with impunity is often the fault of people themselves, whose sins have an effect on their children …. People who in their earthly life allowed themselves to be all too willingly influenced by My adversary …. People who have done deeds which demand great atonement and whose sins have not yet found forgiveness through Jesus Christ because they did not yet recognize Him and have not yet asked for forgiveness. The descendants of such people still carry this burden of sin, yet their souls need not have the same evil urges within them, but the body, weakened by the sin of the ancestors, cannot defend itself against the evil spirits which would also like to possess its soul but are prevented from doing so, for I certainly allow physical suffering as atonement for the fathers’ guilt but never allow a soul to be harmed by those evil spirits …. For it voluntarily sacrifices itself, and through such a sacrifice it redeems itself, and it also helps the unredeemed souls in the beyond to recognize their wrongdoing and take the path to Me in Jesus Christ ….
Amen

The return to God is certain …. but when? ….
B.D. 6692 from November 18th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
You, My living creations, are inseparably united with Me, thus you will never be able to completely detach yourselves from Me, even if My adversary believes that he will be able to wrest you away from Me …. A complete detachment from Me would also mean a complete transgression. And only the fallen person’s profound darkness, his lack of realization, explains My adversary’s wrong assumption, whose great sin against Me was precisely the will to completely separate himself from Me. And from this you can also see that there can be no eternal damnation, for you belong to Me and what is Mine also inevitably returns to Me. Since you once emerged from My strength but My strength cannot be eternally lost but irrevocably flows back to Me once again, you remain My living creations, constantly bound to Me, as it were. Yet this bondage is only a blessing for you, not a ruin, which you will realize one day when you have returned to Me again after an infinitely long time. A return to Me is therefore assured to you …. But if I now try to accelerate this return with all urgency, if I constantly court your love which you once refused Me, if I use all possible means to win you over …. then this is only based on My infinite love for you which does not want to let you, My living creations, suffer unnecessarily, which would like to spare you endless times of torment and bondage again, which longs for you and would like to make you happy but cannot do so as long as you keep yourselves distant from Me by virtue of your free will. I know that one day you will be Mine, but I also know what torments still await you if you endlessly postpone your return to Me again …. But you don’t know this pitiful state, you don’t believe in it either when it is presented to you, and it cannot be proven to you so that you don’t force your return to Me. Yet you cannot remain separated from Me forever either, because the bond between us will remain, thus you are nevertheless dependent on My strength of love if you want to survive. And I will still try everything until the end in order to win you back, even if I have to use means which you humans will never ever want to regard as ‘based on divine love’. For I will do everything that can still help a soul to return in order to spare it the new path of development. The turning point you are facing would explain many things to you, yet you do not believe in this turning point with conviction either, but it determines My action, as it corresponds to My love but also to My wisdom …. All of you who still resist Me today cannot finally separate yourselves from Me, for even if you are isolated beings in creation, the strength emanating from Me constantly permeates you if your existence is to be assured. Whatever originates from Me will never ever pass away …. but therefore also always and forever be united with Me. And because I want to prepare this bliss for you, therefore I will not let up in persuading you to return until the end has come ….
Amen

"I am the way, the truth and the life …."
B.D. 6693 from November 19th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Only one can give you life in eternity …. Jesus Christ, Who therefore must also be acknowledged by all who strive for a blissful life in eternity. For He Himself spoke the words on earth: “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” He alone can command death to release you, He alone has overcome death and thereby also shown you the path to life, and without Him no one will find the right path and attain life. “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” No human being on earth could have uttered these words, for before God Himself descended to earth in Jesus there was no path for people which led to life, because the one who had brought death into the world had not yet been overcome, because his power was still unbroken and therefore humanity walked through earthly life in darkness, in ignorance of the truth …. But the man Jesus accomplished the work …. He presented Himself for battle because He wanted to clear the way to life for you humans, He wanted to redeem you humans from death …. For all people were doomed to death before His descent to earth …. When Jesus walked on earth a light shone and He carried this light into the darkness …. He taught and brought knowledge to men of what was happening on earth and in the spirit realm …. He brought them the truth, He kindled a light in the hearts of those who willingly listened to Him, and He taught them love …. The truth had to be conveyed to people first so that they would also recognize the significance of Jesus’ life on earth, which ended with the most painful death on the cross …. And He promised eternal life to those who believed in Him, who accepted His words as gospel, who lived out His divine teaching of love and thus followed the path which the man Jesus had taken. These were to attain eternal life …. And this path leads past the cross of Golgotha. There is no other path to blissful life than this one which the man Jesus took and which led to Golgotha …. because in this man Jesus God Himself walked the path to the cross, because the ‘eternal love’ brought the sacrifice of the cross, which had embodied itself in the man Jesus. You humans must believe that it was God Himself Who died for you, Who rose from the dead after three days, Who overcame death and thus the one who had brought death into the world …. And thus you must follow God Himself on His path, for God Himself is truth and life. God Himself has promised you eternal life, and since He could not make Himself visible to you because the souls once and now sinful people would not have been able to bear the sight of Him, He accomplished the act of salvation in the form of the man Jesus …. For God’s fundamental substance is love, and love embodied itself in the human being Jesus …. The path to eternal beatitude only leads through Jesus Christ. You must recognize and acknowledge Him, you must follow Him, you must let Him teach you and introduce you to the truth, and only by Him can you be introduced to His kingdom where you will live in bliss forever. And all choirs of angels, all blessed spirits, all beings of light call out to you: Acknowledge Him, hasten to Him, hand yourselves over to Him, the divine saviour and redeemer Jesus Christ …. And you will attain eternal life and never ever lose this life ….
Amen

God's warning of torments of new banishment ….
B.D. 6694 from November 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
And eternities can pass until your souls have found their way home to Me; but it is certain that they will return to Me one day. But these words should not make you humans lukewarm in your spiritual striving, you should not …. in the certainty that one day you will reach the aim after all and not be eternally lost …. through this earthly life indifferently and neglect your soul’s work, for you don’t know how agonizing the time is for you which is granted to failing souls after this life on earth. For it is the time of the end, and it signifies your death …. if you are not called away prematurely …. something different than before. For the spiritual kingdom is closed to you after the end of this earth, which otherwise received the souls who departed from earth and who could still continue their maturing process in the spiritual kingdom if they were willing to do so …. But now, after the end of this earth, a completely different period of development begins, the order which is My eternal law will be re-established everywhere, and this also means a new incarnation for all spiritual substances …. beginning with the banishment into solid matter and the incorporation of what was previously bound in it into the process of development, which continues to progress …. All immature spiritual substances are, as it were, incarnated again in the most diverse new creations of this earth, and for the spiritual kingdom too it is a time of peace and tranquillity, because the dark forces can now no longer wage battle, for they too are banished in form …. My adversary is in shackles, for his followers are bound. And thus you know that you will face a dreadful fate after the end of this earth, even if you are certain that one day you will be released from all torment and allowed to be blissfully happy. But you should not overlook the time until then, and therefore you should do everything in order to find Me before then. For you will still spend eternities at a distance from Me …. Yet through your own fault, for I constantly convey the knowledge to you humans but only very few accept it. And the days go by and remain unused. And you can believe that you will be eternally grateful to Me for the most severe suffering if it has led you to a different way of thinking, if you have found Me through the suffering before the end. But suffering is only the only means left, suffering can be a blessing for you if it makes you realize that you have to change before it is too late. My love does not want people to suffer, but My love wants to spare you an immeasurably long time of suffering through small suffering, for I know the extent of torments, and what I will still let come upon you on earth in order to achieve your transformation can only be called tiny compared to those torments. But the hardened human hearts cannot be moved in any other way than through extreme adversity …. And therefore such hardship has to come if I still want to win over a few, even if you humans will not be able to understand that I keep silent about everything people do to each other, or when I Myself harshly touch people through events of a natural nature …. I allow much, for this hardship on earth will soon come to an end …. But the hardship of the souls who do not find their way to Me will last an infinitely long time again. Once you will certainly end up with Me, but do you want to prolong the time of distance from Me, the time of unhappiness, which is the result of distancing yourselves from God? Whereas it is already possible for you to bring it to an end now on this earth? I urgently implore you to believe these words and go into yourselves …. Just let your thoughts wander into infinity for once, so that you may receive enlightenment which you think you cannot believe …. And truly, I will listen to your request, I Myself will take hold of you and help you to take the right path before the end, the path which leads to Me and to eternal bliss ….
Amen

Instruction from within …. (John 14:15-26)
B.D. 6695 from November 21st 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Every human being carries the spark of My spirit of God within himself, otherwise it would be impossible for him to fulfil the earthly task given to him …. And it is this spiritual spark which can have a direct effect on you, which can inform you from within, to which you therefore also owe the knowledge which alone can lay claim to truth because it originates from Me Myself …. because the spiritual spark in you is My share which is always and forever in contact with Me. It is therefore a very simple explanation that …. when a human being receives divine revelations …. he hears them within himself, because He Who wants to reveal Himself to him is within him and only needs to express Himself. But the fact that He expresses Himself requires that He is also consciously heard and thus the human being believes that I want to make Myself known in him …. And in order to possess this faith again in all liveliness one thing is absolutely necessary: that the human being lives in love …. For the spiritual spark in him, the part of Myself, is love, because My fundamental nature is love …. And love is caused by love to express itself …. or also: love can only express itself to love. But then the state is also established which I require in order to be able to speak to My living creations and to be listened to and also understood by them. Every human being therefore carries the deepest knowledge within himself, and he only needs to take care that it comes to light. He need only consciously establish the connection with Me through a life of love, which already exists unconsciously but can only come to fruition through the human being’s free will to intimately unite with Me …. Then contact is established, the spiritual spark in the human being is ignited by love and spreads, for now My spiritual strength constantly flows to him, and this means that the human being can now also be constantly instructed from within, i.e. by Me, Who takes the path through My spirit via the heart to the intellect …. that therefore the human ear does not receive impartations from outside but the spring opens up in the human being himself from which he can now draw at any time. You humans all have all the wisdom within you …. But you do not make use of this unheard-of gift of grace. You try to acquire knowledge intellectually, and thus you also try to penetrate spiritual knowledge intellectually, which you believe you can acquire through study. And yet you have everything within yourselves and could fathom the deepest wisdom if only you would let yourselves be taught by Me Myself, by the divine spiritual spark within you …. But you do not fulfil the conditions which such instruction requires: You lack faith and love, and without these that spark only glows, but it has to flare up into a bright flame in order to also give off the right luminosity …. that you all recognize brightly and clearly and no longer question but are certain that you stand in truth. You should sometimes think about what you actually are …. that you are creatures which emerged from a power Whose fundamental substance is ‘love’ …. and that you must therefore also have this ‘fundamental substance’ within yourselves, from which it follows that forces must also be hidden within you which prove the divine origin …. And thus you should also allow these forces to emerge, you should develop them, namely by fulfilling the will of the one Who created you, Who again and again announces His will to you humans through His word. And My will is only that you shape yourselves into love …. Then you will awaken all powers within you to life, and thus you will also cause the spiritual spark within you, which is My share, to express itself to you, and then you may learn more in a short time than a whole lifetime of study, of intellectual work, can bring you. For all knowledge is within you, yet you have to raise this spiritual treasure yourselves, and anyone will be able to do so who lives in love and thereby attains living faith …. For I can and will reveal Myself to him, as I have promised …. (John 14:15-26)

Igniting the spark of love …. instruction for this ….
B.D. 6696 from November 23rd 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Do not stifle the spark of love within you if it wants to break through, give in to every inner emotional stirring if it is good, and repel every opposing thought which would like to hold you back from loving activity …. For the latter is My adversary’s influence, who …. because even without love …. would also like to keep you humans unkind so as not to lose you to Me. Consider that I Myself take care of you as soon as you enter the earth as a human being …. that I place a spark of love in you which enables you to return to Me again after an infinitely long time of separation. And you should guard this spark of love like the most precious possession, for it is a tiny spark of Myself, it is My share, it is what you have been depriving yourselves of for eternities but which is absolutely necessary if you want to become blissfully happy. I gave you this spark of love at the beginning of your earthly life, but now you yourselves must also kindle it in you and let it flare up in order to unite with Me again …. And this is what My adversary wants to prevent, he wants to stop every act of love, he wants you to remain as he is, that your hearts harden ever more and that you thus remain under his control …. He does not want to lose you to Me, but I Myself want to win you …. But it is up to you alone which lord will come into his own. For if you practice love then you strive towards Me of your own free will and he cannot hinder you …. But he can influence you to refrain from loving activity, he can incite you into unkind actions, he can awaken unkind thoughts in you, and then you should always know that it is him, your greatest enemy, who only wants to keep you in unhappiness or plunge you again, because he himself is incapable of loving thoughts, because his nature is only hatred and he tries to transfer all his bad thoughts onto you. Don’t let yourselves be captivated by him again, resist him, free yourselves from him and only ever hold on to Me, Who wants to help you with all My love so that you will become free from him …. And you can only achieve this if you ignite the spark of love within you, if you nourish it so that it spreads as a bright fire which now fills your heart and brings you ever closer to Me. You now ask what you should do to let this spark of love in you become a bright ray of fire? Above all you must repress self-love, you must think less of yourselves and your well-being than of your neighbour’s, and you must be devoted to all people who surround you and want to make them happy, help them and stand by their side with advice and action, you must sacrifice in order to be able to give your neighbour what he lacks. You must carry out your daily work in all selflessness, always only concerned about being active for the benefit of your fellow human beings, not striving for your own advantages at the expense of your fellow human being …. Then the desire to give love will become ever stronger, because then I Myself will urge you from within and because you will feel My urging as happiness …. because you will now also be illuminated by My love and open yourselves and you will now have started the return path to Me which will certainly also lead to the aim …. If only you don’t stifle the spark of love within you but let it flare up, then you need never fear falling into the hands of the enemy of your souls. For since love is My share this share will also always push towards Me, and I Myself will be able to take possession of you, I Myself will be able to assist you with My strength of love, and the flame within you will always increase. And all of you can achieve this because you all carry this divine spark of love within yourselves, because you all receive this gift of grace as soon as you enter this earth as a human being. Yet it is up to each individual whether and how he makes use of this gift of grace, and likewise, each one of you will also have to answer for it one day when the hour of his departure from this earth has come ….
Amen

Power effect of the divine word …. dead or awakened ….
B.D. 6697 from November 25th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
The strength which flows to you with My word will always enable you to carry out works of love, for if My word is conveyed to you, you will be illuminated by My love, only you must open yourselves, i.e. fully consciously accept My word, with heart and mind …. thus think about it and let it have an effect on you …. Then you will also be driven by My word to live it out, and then you will also be active in love. But I am now only talking about the living address to you, I am not talking about the words which are only spoken by a preacher’s mouth as learned knowledge which is indeed of spiritual content but which can never ever penetrate a person’s heart because he lacks the strength with which I have blessed My word. Direct address always first requires living faith in Me and the desire to be addressed by Me, thus to hear ‘My word’ …. Then the heart is also opened and then the person will also be addressed by Me Myself, even if a dead proclaimer of My word speaks …. Then I bring this dead word to life in the listener’s heart. But if a living representative speaks to people then it is possible that these people, who were previously still dead, are thereby awakened to life because I Myself speak to them through the mouth of My servant and because My word has the strength to give life to the previously dead. And thus the word directly conveyed to you has the same effect of strength for those people who read or listen to it with heart and mind, yet for the others it will only remain letters or empty sounds which will fall on their ears and they will not be able to feel anything of an influx of strength. And thus you should be told again and again that you yourselves determine the effect of My word on you, that you must receive everything I tell you with great desire into your heart, that you yourselves determine the abundance of strength which flows towards you …. but that My word will never remain without an effect of strength if you desire such. And I want to impart much strength to you, I want to constantly give it to you, and My love for you constantly urges Me to address you in order to thereby convey the flow of strength to you which you urgently need …. But you have to open yourselves …. And if you don’t do this of your own free will, then the strength will flow without touching you; then you will remain dead, then I cannot awaken you to life, for then you will not perform any works of love either, which always prove the supply of strength from Me. Therefore I admonish you again and again: Immerse yourselves in My word …. want Me to speak to you Myself, and listen to or read My word in this will, and it will truly make you happy, you will take it to heart and then also live as it is My will, because I Myself inform you of this My will in the word. The word, which comes to you from above, is a great source of strength and again and again you will be able to convince yourselves of its effect of strength, because I will also visibly help anyone who willingly lets himself be addressed by Me in every spiritual and earthly adversity …. But he has to believe in Me and unite with Me in this living faith, then I Myself can speak to him and provide him with the abundant strength he needs. And he will always be able to draw this strength from the word, for I am always ready for him if he desires Me ….
Amen

Increased impact of the opponent where light shines ….
B.D. 6698 from November 26th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
My adversary’s power in the end time is great and My living creations’ weakness in this time is equally great, and therefore he is very successful. And often he also instigates confusion in the circle of My own, of the believers, who want to stand by Me and whose will he would like to shake through false whispers and temptations of all kinds. But you, who want to be Mine, you can trust in your father’s love and might, Who will not allow him to gain supremacy, that he will succeed in removing you from Me. For where his influence tries to penetrate My strength of love is particularly strong, and that always means: recognition of light and darkness …. The light illuminates all corners, and thus you will always be able to recognize him and beware of him. And again and again I draw your attention to the fact that it is an abomination to him when he is exposed by the light from above and that he therefore spares no means to extinguish that light. This must always explain to you his frequent attempts to portray My direct working on you as doubtful with the intention of confusing you, My bearers of light, who receive My word from Me, and to make you doubt yourselves. But I stand by you because I know that you want to be faithful servants to Me on earth, and I distribute an abundance of strength where the attacks are particularly blatant. You shall experience My presence so obviously in hours when you devote yourselves to Me despite all these afflictions; all doubts shall be taken away from you and the light of truth shall enlighten you completely so that he will recognize whose power is stronger when the human being himself calls for Me. He has lost his power over you but nevertheless he tries again and again to bring you down, and the fact that I allow this is only due to the freedom of will which both he and you can use. But your will has already professed Me and therefore I will no longer let you fall into his power. Yet the closer it gets to the end the more frightening his rage will be …. And countless souls will still fall prey to him because they have not established the heartfelt bond with Me, because they go through earthly life lukewarm and indifferent and are welcome servants to him, who surrender to him and therefore fall into the abyss. And humanity will not be able to comprehend what is happening on this earth without being prevented by a ‘God’ and ‘creator’ …. Only the pure truth could enlighten you, and this is little desired, the pure truth is the explanation for everything, even for the cruellest events on this earth. And therefore it is urgently necessary that the pure truth is made accessible to people, that it can first be conveyed to people on earth in a direct way …. And do you believe that I will not then protect My bearers of light to whom I can convey this pure truth? Do you believe that My power is smaller than the power of My adversary? It would truly be easy for Me to destroy him too, but My plan aims at the salvation of all fallen beings, and thus he shall also return to Me one day, thus I will not destroy him but constantly oppose his activity with My power and My activity of grace. And soon the time will come when he will be bound again for a thousand years ….. Soon his raging and also people’s hardship will have reached its climax …. And then My might and My will will intervene and end a spiritual battle which rages on earth and in the kingdom of the beyond in an unimaginable way …. And then there will be peace and love and harmony, then I will be in the midst of those who persevered and remained faithful to Me until the end ….
Amen

A light came to earth …. Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6699 from November 27th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Dark night has descended upon the earth as at the time before My descent. It is the same misery, the same darkness, it is a pitiful state in which humanity finds itself with few exceptions. It walks along without light and goes astray, it is in blindness of spirit, completely at the mercy of My adversary’s power, although there is help but it does not accept it and therefore heads towards the abyss without salvation. Again the darkness is so great on earth that a light has to be brought to people, and again the light Itself descends to earth in the word to bring salvation to humanity …. but again they don’t recognize it because they are not willing to accept light and because they are completely without love. And again I will come to earth, but then not for redemption but for judgment, for people reject the blessings of My act of salvation and therefore cannot be helped in their spiritual hardship. Yet again and again I bring Myself to people’s remembrance, again and again I direct My (their) thoughts to My descent to earth, to the great act of mercy which I accomplished as the human being Jesus for humanity, for all people of the past, the present and the future …. At that time it was also necessary to help people; a person had to take pity on his fellow human beings in love and show them what love is capable of doing …. what sacrifices a person was able to make in whose heart love burned for his unfortunate brothers …. And thus a light entered the midst of darkness, a being from the kingdom of light joined the people on earth and also sought to bring them light which could only be kindled through love in order to never go out again …. People were devoid of all love and the few who professed Me were still burdened by the past sin of apostasy from Me but they acknowledged Me and called to Me for help …. and I heard their call and sent them a saviour, I sent My son to earth to then take abode in Himself …. to redeem you humans from sin and death. The infant Jesus took this spirit of light into Himself, and He then consciously walked the earthly path as a human being and showed all His fellow human beings the path they also had to take in order to become free from My adversary’s control. People lacked the light of love, and the human being Jesus ignited it in Himself into a bright flame …. And He broke through the darkness of night and also guided light to His fellow human beings …. He taught them wisdom and love, He gave them knowledge, He enlightened them where it was still dark in them …. And His light shone to all, to the jews and also to the gentiles …. And He consciously gave Himself to My adversary for battle, He wrestled souls from him with His greater than great love by paying the purchase price for them through an unusually difficult sacrifice: by suffering unspeakably and dying on the cross …. And with this labour of love He gained victory over the one who now had to release the people who consciously accepted the sacrifice and who are willing to let themselves be redeemed by Jesus …. the human being Who was only a shell for Me Myself, because I, as the eternal love, wanted to redeem you and this work of redemption should visibly take place before your human eyes. As a human being I confronted My adversary and wrestled the souls away from him …. For My love for you, My living creations, is endless and I will forever struggle for your souls, because you have been Mine since the beginning. Yet despite this act of salvation the darkness spread across the earth is impenetrable again, for there is no more love amongst humanity which alone can kindle light …. And whether My light of love continues to shine to earth in the form of My word …. where there is no love it is not recognized and accepted, and thus only isolated sparks of light are recognizable. And where such a light of love shines the darkness has also disappeared for ever, for there are My own who found redemption through Jesus Christ and who now carry My light of love within them …. to whom I Myself will come in the clouds when My last return to this earth will take place ….
Amen

Attaining freedom by the time of the end …. Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6700 from November 28th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
The shackles of captivity can still constrain you for an eternity but you can also discard them very quickly, for you truly have all means at your disposal through the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ Who died for you on the cross. Consider that you will still have to languish for an infinitely long time if you don’t make use of the blessings of his act of Salvation, if you don’t take refuge in Him Who alone can remove your shackles …. And consider that you are being informed in earthly life of which path you need to follow in order to attain your complete freedom. As long as you live without the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation you cannot call upon Him for help. But this knowledge will be conveyed to all people, although in different ways, and the few who do not receive it, because their souls’ maturity has not yet reached the degree which can lead to perfection on earth, will still attain the knowledge of Him in the kingdom of the beyond and can also be released from their shackles if they are of good will. However, the knowledge of Jesus Christ will not remain hidden from people on earth, and where it cannot be given to them from the outside it will be conveyed to them through My spirit, which guides people into truth as I have promised …. In order to become aware of the great significance of your transformation on this earth you must know that there is a way in order to completely liberate yourselves and to be able to enter the kingdom of light as a blissful being …. that you are all informed of this path but that you must also take it. You must all take the path to the cross, you must all hand yourselves over to Jesus Christ in order to be able to enter through the gates into beatitude. But no-one will be able to attain bliss without Jesus Christ; instead, he will have to remain shackled until he decides to take this path to Him, the path to the cross. However, you humans don’t have much time left …. consider that you will still be able to attain freedom in this short time until the end, but that you will also forfeit it again for an infinitely long time if you exclude Jesus Christ, if you …. although you are informed of Him and know about His act of Salvation, you reject Him or remain indifferent towards Him and don’t turn to Him for help on the path towards perfection …. You don’t realise what gift of grace is available to you, through which you can find deliverance from an eternally lasting confinement, but time and again you are informed of it without meeting your credence. Only through Jesus Christ can you be redeemed from your guilt of sin, from My adversary’s control, you don’t have to stay under His rule for long anymore, you can release yourselves from him and discard all shackles, for there is One who will help you if only you turn to Him and appeal for His help. And for this you only have a short time at your disposal. If you neglect doing so, you will remain in his control for an infinitely long time to come before you are offered the opportunity again to call upon Him for mercy. Don’t extend your time in captivity yourselves, gladly accept the good news of your salvation through Jesus Christ and appeal to Him so that He might help you achieve deliverance too, so that He might have shed His blood for you as well …. Do not bypass Him, you who know Him. Believe that only He can save you from sin and death and take the last steps of your process of development on this earth by taking the path to the cross of Golgotha …. And in blissful freedom you will be able to lift yourselves into the kingdom of light, where no night will ever exist ….
Amen

Love and suffering as means of purification ….
B.D. 6701 from November 29th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
My Gospel teaches you love again and again, for only love purifies the soul from all impurities; love is the fire which cleanses the soul and turns all base notions into the opposite. And love is often accompanied by suffering, as this first dissolves all hard layers which had still offered resistance to love. Hence, love and suffering are the means of the soul’s purification, and love and suffering can change bad habits into virtues, they can disperse pride and arouse true humility in a person’s heart, they can train an impatient person to become gentle and patient, they can inspire compassion and let justice emerge …. They can entirely change a person’s nature and thus spiritualise the soul while it is still on earth. For this reason you should constantly practise love and patiently shoulder all suffering …. You should bear the cross which was placed upon you and, in so doing, constantly keep suffering at bay from your fellow human beings, pleasing them and also helping them attain maturity of soul by preaching and exemplifying the Gospel of love to them. The human being must consciously work at improving his soul; he must try to release himself from all vices and cravings, and the strength to do so will arise from the love which he practices on his fellow human being. If suffering is imposed on him, he should likewise regard this suffering as a means towards reaching perfection, because it helps where love is still too weak …. The soul should be able to leave its body in a crystal clear state so that, permeated by light, it can enter the kingdom of the beyond …. However, you humans still need to dissolve more layers which prevent the soul from being permeated by this light …. You must still work on yourselves in order to develop the virtues which should adorn a soul; you must attain humility, gentleness, peacefulness, compassion, righteousness and patience, and that necessitates conscious work at improving yourselves, which is therefore often accompanied by all kinds of suffering. And so you should also recognise the blessing of suffering, which has a redemptive purpose, which should not always be regarded as punishment for sins but is often merely an effective means to attain maturity of soul …. You should discard all you bad habits and vices and that often necessitates a battle which, however, is much easier for you in the form of physical suffering than in a state of physical well-being, since the latter is more likely to increase these evils than to reduce them. I did not thoughtlessly say the Words ‘If any man will come after Me, let him …. take up his cross ….’ I certainly died on the cross for your guilt of sin, I took all suffering upon Me …. and thereby made it possible for you to release yourselves, to gain strength …. For the sake of the act of Salvation you can be forgiven of all your sins and, once you acknowledge Me and My act of Salvation and avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of Salvation by appealing to Me for redemption and forgiveness of your guilt, this will ensure your entry into the kingdom of light …. Nevertheless, you cannot be spared a certain amount psychological work, for this will determine the degree of light in which you depart from earth. And the willingness to endure suffering is the conscious or unconscious participation in My path to the cross, and anyone who takes the path to Golgotha by My side is truly doing his soul a great service, for it can take the path into the kingdom of light like Me and, in radiant brilliance, it will be with Me in paradise, for the change from an imperfect being into the divine being it was in the beginning, had still occurred on earth and, in a manner of speaking, it has already participated in Christ’s act of Salvation on earth because it had humbly carried the cross …. Therefore you should bless the suffering which accompanies your path across earth, and let the love in you evolve fully, then your earthly path will not be in vain, it will let you reach the most beautiful goal: the complete union with Me, your God and Father of eternity ….
Amen

God evaluates only the will …. innermost feeling ….
B.D. 6702 from November 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
You humans determine the direction of the will yourselves, because your innermost thinking and wanting cannot be forcibly influenced from any side, even if you are forced to keep your thinking and wanting secret. And likewise you can be pointed out from the outside by good teachings to what you should do to live right before God …. the commandments of love can be brought to you, which are to cause you to this right walk before God …. But now again your innermost thinking and willing is decisive, although you also do justice to this love doctrine outwardly …. Because only that will is evaluated, which you humans are to judge right. And so you can seemingly perform good works, but which lack the inner love urge, and then they are worthless before God …. But you can also be prevented from working in love by external circumstances, and yet your thinking and wanting can apply to this working in love …. And then God will again only look at and evaluate this good will, which you have directed right in all freedom. The inner urge to want to help proves this right will, which however is missing in all those who are still bound by God’s opponent. But since in earthly life it is about the change of your will, which originally turned to the opponent, the motive of every action of men is of greatest importance, which direction of will it proves. For a good will and thinking from within is already the passed test of will, the will has turned away from the opponent and towards God again …. If God is acknowledged, this is not yet proof that the heart thinks as the mouth speaks. But the will turned towards God cannot help but also strive for a life in divine order, and there fore man will also feel the inner urge to love, and what he now does will be founded in this urge to love. And if man is prevented from carrying out his will, then this will will nevertheless always remain turned towards God, and he will be justified by this will before God. Therefore, the will of man should be influenced in the most favorable way by good teachings, by proclaiming the gospel, so that man knows about the will of God, to which his will should now conform …. But the determining factor is now only the attitude of man, the evaluation of the teachings and therefore the action according to these teachings, which always demand only love for God and for fellow men. And these deeds must be done out of inner drive …. Then the will has been directed in the right direction, but not in compulsion …. And so also deeds of love, which are demanded by pressure or promises, can be completely worthless, if the inner will to love is missing, so not the deed itself, but the will is decisive for the passing of the test of will of man on earth. What goes on inside a person is decisive, and only God Himself can judge that, to Whom all thoughts, all stirrings of the human heart are known …. But therefore this will turned towards God is also the surest guarantee for man that he himself will be seized by God, who will never ever hand him over to His adversary …. And even if he is often still in danger because the opponent does not want to give him up …. God holds him, and He also reveals Himself to him, so that man always professes God more and he strives for Him as his highest aim ….
Amen

One shall serve the other …. Bargaining products, occupation ….
B.D. 6703 from December 1st 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Every human being’s task is to help his fellow human being, for this reason I endowed people differently, conferred various abilities on them, gave them different degrees of strength and also shaped their circumstances so diversely that the right co-existence between people also necessitates a mutual exchange of the gifts which are at everyone’s disposal.
And thus everyone shall give to the other what he has and what the other is missing …. Each person shall be of service to the other …. because it is the human being’s task in earthly life to redeem himself through helpful neighbourly love …. On the one hand I indeed demand unselfish neighbourly love but on the other hand this love should also be correctly acknowledged and rewarded in a just manner. And thus every occupational activity can also contribute to the attainment of the soul’s maturity if the person always strives to be of service to his fellow human being, if he carries out his work with love and thereby wants to please …. if he doesn’t merely follows his occupation for the sake of payment.
In this way people’s co-existence will always be beneficial and also guarantee a state of tranquillity and peace and a certain lack of worry as long as I Am included …. thus love for Me and other people is clearly being fostered. For then everything will fall into place by itself because people live their lives in divine order. However, people have now left this order completely, for their every thought and intention only intends to increase their earthly wealth, and whatever they do generally lacks love for other people whilst material desire is very dominant …. It no longer is a mutual service but rather a wanting-to-enrich-oneself at the expense of the other person. And the attribute of almost every occupation is that it is purely regarded as an income and not as a helpful balance where needed by fellow human beings. Every person’s work has become a bargaining product to a greater extent, and even the work for Me and My kingdom often lacks unselfish love …. even this work is frequently considered an ‘occupation’ that is only carried out for the sake of income.
And where material thoughts and inclinations predominate, no spiritual blessing, no spiritual progress will be accomplished, and this, too, explains the spiritually low level which is experienced by humanity in these last days. People’s thoughts only revolve around matter, and thus My adversary uses his every influence on them, for the material world is his world, and all matter is spiritual substance which is well below the human being …. and this is what people are striving for. If they could detach themselves from matter, then helpful love would express itself and peaceful harmony could be recognised on earth too, and people would comply with their real task on earth. Yet love has grown cold amongst people, and therefore My adversary has great power, and the greed for material wealth keeps growing the nearer it is to the end. Yet people who unselfishly consider their neighbours and put their strength at their disposal will be doubly blessed …. Although they won’t acquire earthly riches their spiritual wealth will be immense and remain when all worldly things have vanished. For no-one will be able to enjoy his possessions for much longer, and woe to those who have no other but earthly riches to show …. their desire for matter will be fulfilled …. They will become matter themselves, and an infinitely long time will pass before they will get released again from their hard constraint, which they nevertheless had endeavoured towards of their own free will and therefore shall also receive according to their will ….
Amen

God's promise of help …. Strength of faith ….
B.D. 6704 from December 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 72
You can take refuge in Me whenever you suffer spiritual or earthly adversity and I will help you, as I have promised. You should never doubt My love or My might but know that I love you at all times and that I will always use My power as long as it will not harm your soul. And if you come to Me, if you sincerely and trustingly appeal to Me, your soul will not be at risk, for then I will have achieved what I wanted to achieve with the adversity, that you come to Me, that you call upon Me and thereby acknowledge Me as your God and Father of eternity. Even though your soul could already have completely handed itself over to Me the world nevertheless still influences you and time and again distracts your thoughts from Me. And even if I don’t lose you, but you occasionally lose yourselves in other, worldly directed thinking, your heartfelt longing for Me diminishes, your spiritual endeavour becomes less and then you require slight strokes of fate, problems or ailments again so that you reconsider your attitude and establish your former intimacy with Me once more ….
The world is your enemy …. And every now and then I have to use ways to oppose it, so that I will not lose you, who are as yet not firmly united with Me, entirely to the world …. But I also have to bond you, who are already My Own but still need to increase your strength of faith, ever more firmly to Me. And therefore you, too, will be affected by adversities and suffering, which are only intended to strengthen your bond with Me and thus will also make your faith stronger, which you will need in the forthcoming time. You should come to Me in every adversity …. I Am always ready to help. And I will not refuse you any request as long as you truly trust Me that I, as your Father, certainly know what is right for you and will always give you what it is beneficial for you. You don’t know My thoughts, you don’t know My plans but you shall totally trust Me that I have My reasons for everything that is happening, and that everything is based on love, even if it seems incomprehensible to you. And as soon as you hand yourselves over to Me in full trust of My love and My might, thus completely fitting in with My will, bending down and humbly carrying your burden if I have put it upon you, then your trust in Me will truly be worth your while, and you will often miraculously experience how My love and might will affect you ….
What no human being is able to achieve is always possible for Me as your God and Father, hence there is nothing that would be impossible for Me to accomplish …. there is nothing which should make you become hopeless …. You just have to grant Me your full trust and total compliance, and then you are motivating My love and My might to become effective in you. And you always ought to remember that every day is a grace for you, since you can raise your soul’s maturity if you work daily at improving your soul and also enlighten your fellow human beings who are affected by suffering …. Suffering is intended to achieve what the person’s own will has not yet accomplished; suffering is intended to lead to God, to Me, for I can banish all suffering with My might. The human being should not complain if he is affected by adversity and suffering but take refuge in Me, Who truly can and wants to help if the human being believes in Me. You should confide all earthly and spiritual adversity to Me, and truly, I will noticeably help those who turn to Me with complete trust in heartfelt prayer ….
Amen

Lore …. study, dead knowledge …. light ….
B.D. 6705 from December 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Knowledge will not make you happy if you lack love, for as long as it is only dead knowledge which the intellect has absorbed but which could not yet touch the heart which lacks love. This should also be taken to heart by those who acquire spiritual knowledge through study, whose intellect is eagerly at work, who store up much of such knowledge and believe that they are now also suitable to be active as My proclaimers, as My representatives. They do not yet know the difference between such acquired knowledge and the knowledge which comes to them from within through the working of love …. And they first have to get to know this difference before they can be true servants to Me on earth. The right light in them first ignites love, and only then will they brightly and clearly recognize all correlations, but only then will they be able to speak vividly, because they themselves first came to life through a life of love and can now also help their fellow human beings to likewise attain life. All knowledge, even pure truth, remains incomprehensible to those who walk along without love, even though they deal with it intellectually, but it is learned spiritual knowledge which brings them little enlightenment and which they therefore dutifully pass on when they procure a teaching authority for themselves, but which is never a complete explanation to questions (enlightenment gives about questions) which a person seriously desiring truth will ask them. For the correlations remain alien to them because I Myself reserved the right to explain them to people but I also set conditions for it: that the human being lives a life of love. Only then will I enlighten his spirit, and only then will he be able to work with his knowledge in such a way that it brings blessings, that the hearts are addressed and the dead comes to life. That is why not everyone can be suitable for the teaching ministry, even if his intellect is highly developed and he has great knowledge from a human point of view. He then only ever teaches his disciples the same dead knowledge, certain words and sentences are used again and again, which …. if seriously thought about …. are completely meaningless, but they are ‘traditions’ which are not shaken. If a person is of enlightened spirit then the teachings always make him wonder and he seeks to grasp them …. Thus he requests My support and asks Me for clarification and then brightly and clearly recognizes how they are to be understood or whether they are just worthless sayings which are intended to cover up a certain lack of knowledge. Spiritual knowledge cannot be gained through study, for as long as the spirit is not enlightened as a result of a life of love, that body of thought is only to be valued as worldly knowledge, even if it touches upon spiritual problems. But as soon as I Myself can work in the human being he will only penetrate the depth of what his intellect has absorbed …. And then it will suddenly become light in him, then he will also know that the light of knowledge is a truly delectable asset, and then he will be so intimately united with Me in thought, in prayer and through constant activity of love that he will remember with horror the time when he had only been a dead proclaimer of My word …. For now life is in him, and now knowledge has become realization in him, now he can rightly claim that a light has been kindled for him. But such a light never shines where there is no love …. the love which serves completely unselfishly, which always makes happy and never demands …. Until the human being has entered into this heartfelt bond with Me through loving activity he will never be able to say that he is knowledgeable, for he can only attain the right knowledge from Me Myself, the right knowledge cannot be learned but must have been acquired through loving activity ….
Amen

Warning against the enemy …. fight against him ….
B.D. 6706 from December 5th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
My adversary’s activity is unusually noticeable, for he causes discord wherever he can. He thereby leads people into spiritual and earthly distress, he tempts them into unkind actions, he creates enmity which can never give birth to good, and with a sneer he watches as people incited by him fight each other, as they try to harm each other and thereby completely fall under his control. You humans must be careful and learn to regard every bad word, every bad action as his work, and you must defend yourselves against it. For the more you give in to him the tighter the chains he puts on you will close. Where I can work there is peace and harmony, mutual understanding and forgiveness, because love is there which allows My working. And it is just as easy to recognize the territory where My adversary resides, for unkindness, hatred and enmity, betrayal and discord prevail in his area …. And you should avoid this area if you don’t possess so much strength yourselves that you can confront the adversary, that you succeed in creating order by virtue of your love, in balancing and ousting the adversary. But he has great power in the end time which people themselves concede to him, for they mostly stand isolated in the world …. isolated from their creator and sustainer, isolated from the good spiritual world, and therefore they are good targets of My adversary’s attack who, without finding defence, can approach them and who also draws them into his domain. For there is no longer much faith and love to be found amongst humanity which alone makes My presence possible and is a strong protection against him. People are already no longer alarmed by the fact that such obviously loveless actions and speeches are recognizable …. They rather call it a just struggle to master daily life and thus to repay eye for eye, tooth for tooth, what is done to them, be it in living together with fellow human beings or also in material terms …. They don’t see My adversary’s work in it, instead, each one seeks to assert only himself, and any means is fine with them. But they are already under his control if they merely allow an unloving thought to arise in them, if they use harsh words or carry out actions which lack love …. And they should let themselves be warned and flee from the one who wants to captivate them, they should seek peace and tranquillity in Me, they should resist every ignoble thought, they should try to compensate with love what unkindness has caused, then they will deliver a just fight to My adversary which will also find My support, because I can intervene helpfully where I see such an attitude which is according to My will. Seek to withdraw from every impure sphere and if you are unable to live in community with people who do not deny My adversary access …. then join Me all the more closely and you will find peace and tranquillity in Me, and My messengers of love will close a circle around you which the dark world cannot break through. But be mindful and look around you how My adversary continues to be active …. Recognize him and turn away from him. Everyone will have the strength to do this who only seriously wants it. He is overpoweringly active in the last time …. But an abundance of grace makes it possible for you to withstand and not succumb to him …. Make use of this grace, call upon Me for protection and strength against him, and your call will truly not be in vain ….
Amen

On the pre-developmental course of the soul ….
B.D. 6707 from December 6th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
You humans have lived on this earth for a long time without knowing it. But My word should suffice you that you already had an endless time behind you when you began your earthly life as a human being …. But now you have to pass the last test in order to be able to finish the course of development on earth, in order to then be able to spiritually progress higher in undreamed-of bliss. The earthly life behind you was difficult, that is why your recollection as a human being was taken away from you, for this would suffice to impel you to highest striving, but such striving can only be born of fear and not of free will. You therefore know nothing about your past but can only believe it …. and your faith in it will only be very weak, thus there is no compulsion of will for your transformation on earth. Yet this knowledge is presented to you with great urgency so that you will go through earthly life responsibly …. You had to suffer greatly in all your previous embodiments, and only through this were you able to attain the maturity which is a prerequisite for embodiment as a human being …. But now you should also do everything to attain your final freedom, which you will then never ever lose. An exceedingly blissful future lies ahead of you, behind you a life of torment and bondage …. And you yourselves decide during your earthly life which fate you will prepare for your soul …. But your soul is your actual self, therefore do not think of a second being whose fate is indifferent to you, but remember that it is you yourselves who can be blissful or have to suffer immeasurably, and thus you create a fate of freedom and bliss for yourselves as long as you still live on earth, for you do not have much time left for this …. You are still self-aware beings with the ability to think and also to act in accordance with your will and thinking, for you have the strength of life at your disposal to do so …. But the state which lies behind you was a state of complete lightlessness, and if this state were to be your lot again, then your ego-consciousness and the ability to think would disappear. But you will feel the agony because you are bound in the most rigid form …. whereas you, if you are granted a blissful fate, are conscious of your being in light and freedom, are exceedingly happy and can constantly increase your bliss. Yet you lack evidence of this too, for such would also curtail free will and devalue an aspiration to ascend. Yet again and again your inner voice will urge you on, and you should listen to it and obey it. You should strive to be good for the sake of good, you should let your original nature break through, for it was good and noble because you emerged completely from the hand of God. The time you live on earth as a human being is short but it is enough to transform you from a flawed creature, which you once became of your own free will, into that perfection which once adorned you. The short time on earth is enough if only your will is ready for it. And that is the decision, the test of will, for the purpose of which earthly life is given to you. A great deal is at stake for you, and you should think of it even if you have no proof of it. Just don’t believe that you will perish with your physical death. You will continue to exist, yet in what form you will determine yourselves, and you will have to accept the fate which you yourselves have prepared for the soul.
Amen

Significance of the work of redemption ….
B.D. 6708 from December 7th 1956, taken from Book No. 72
Again and again I bring My crucifixion to your attention, again and again I draw your attention to Jesus Christ’s act of salvation, and again and again I try to make the significance of this act of salvation clear to you humans, because the most important thing for you on earth is to unite with Me in Jesus Christ in order to attain the forgiveness of all guilt of sin through Him …. The redemption period is coming to an end, and you humans who live on this earth can still make use of the short time for your redemption but you have to request Jesus Christ’s help for it. And therefore you must also know that Jesus’ earthly life as a human being was the fulfilment of a mission which was meant for your release from a bound state. You must know that both your existence as a human being as well as His life on this earth have spiritual reasons: that you should reach an aim and that He only made it possible for you to reach this aim through His death on the cross. You must know that your existence is the result of an offence against Me in the kingdom of spirits and that Jesus’ life, suffering and death on this earth wanted to atone for this offence against Me so that you can return to the original state which was your bliss before your offence against Me. But this is why the act of salvation is of utmost importance for you humans, and your earthly life will have been lived in vain if you pass it by, if you don’t let Him help you, for only He can bring you help …. or also …. You cannot become blessed without Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation for you in the human being Jesus. You must inevitably return to Me again in order to be blissfully happy, and you can only accomplish this return to Me with the support of Jesus Christ, because He acquired the blessings for you on the cross which are now abundantly available to you if only you request them …. Again and again you are told that you live in a world of sin, for everything you see surrounding you is the kingdom of My adversary …. that is, spiritual beings that fell away from Me, which once rebelled against Me …. And this kingdom is dark, its inhabitants are weak, helpless beings. But a light came down into this kingdom …. from My kingdom of blessed spirits a being descended, Who wanted to help you …. I sent My son to earth …. in Whom I Myself then took abode, because your weakness and darkness took pity on Me and I wanted to help you regain light and strength. The light Itself descended into the abyss, yet few recognized It, only a few recognized Me Myself in the man Jesus, Who sheltered Myself in His shell. For you were My children who had indeed voluntarily renounced Me but whom I don’t want to leave to My adversary forever, because this would mean eternal unhappiness and My love for you is so great that I would like to prepare a blissful fate for you …. but your free will must also accept this gift of Mine. And I will forgive you this grave sin of your former rebellion against Me if you take the path to Me via Jesus Christ …. if you thus acknowledge Him as the redeemer from sin and death, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of salvation for you. Then you will acknowledge Me again, Whom you once did not want to acknowledge and therefore fell into deepest darkness. Then you will become enlightened again, for the light itself descended to earth in order to bring it to you, and it will also never go out again for the one who recognized it, who took refuge in Jesus Christ, who carried his sins under His cross, who allowed himself to be redeemed by Me in Jesus Christ ….
Amen
