What are 'means of grace'? ….

B.D. 6831 from May 15th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

In the last days before the end I will pour out My blessings in abundance. I will use all means of help just to awaken you to life before the end because I know what spiritual death involves for you when the end has come. You yourselves take no measures to bring your soul to life and completely blindly walk towards the abyss from which I, however, want to pull you back in order to spare you an even more dreadful fate. But since your free will has to be left to you I can only ever try to influence this will to change the direction of your goal yourselves, to turn around before it is too late. And therefore all means which intend to favourably influence your will are blessings …. gifts which you certainly don’t deserve because you are still resisting Me, but which My love nevertheless gives to you because I take pity on your deluded state. And the abundance of My grace will pour itself out over you humans the more the end approaches. Every person will be placed into situations where his own strength, his earthly abilities, won’t suffice to cope with them; every person will be urged by providence to take refuge in Me. I will not bypass anyone without knocking at the door of his heart. However, given that his will is always decisive My gifts of grace will rarely be noticed because the human being’s thoughts vastly digress from Me and I will not force him to think differently. Daily life, however, provides people with so many indications that all people’s bodies will die, and even if the individual person is not affected himself his fellow human being’s fate should nevertheless cause him to think about his own death and influence his will to comply with his actual purpose of life beforehand …. Then he will also try to discover it, in which case he will already have used one blessing for his benefit ….

But what do people understand as ‘blessings’? They often believe that they only need to use external means in order to gain a wealth of grace …. They don’t realise that gifts of grace are offerings which only need to be used in order to help a person to ascend. They call ecclesiastical customs and traditions ‘means of grace’ which help them achieve beatitude and ignore My gifts of grace given copiously by My love and leave them unused …. as long as they do not seriously strive towards changing their nature and thereby also demonstrate that their will is directed towards Me. For the work of improving yourselves has to be done or a change of nature cannot take place. And it is My will that you should still achieve this before the end, that you should seriously decide to want to live a life of love, I only want that you , who live without love, won’t continue on the path you have travelled so far …. All My means of grace, adversity and misery, disease and worry, all kinds of misfortunes and other harsh strokes of fate always only serve the purpose of making you realise your own weakness and to deliberately look for the bond with Me in order to then establish it through kind-hearted activity …. Then the means of grace will not have been without success, then they will have been used by you and then you will not have to fear the end either, because your path will no longer lead to the abyss but you will strive towards the right goal, to Me Myself, Who can only be reached through love. However, what you so often describe as means of grace is worthless as long as it does not motivate you to live a life of love. But love will be kindled in you as soon as you try to unite with Me …. And this is why My loving care only relates to your change of will, which is still held captive by the world, by My adversary …. If you are able to direct this will to Me then I will also have reached the goal, and you will have escaped the great danger of being devoured by the abyss in the end …. And everything that will still come upon you humans shall only bring about your change of will, so that it will turn away from My adversary and towards Me …. Then you will be saved for all eternity ….

Amen

Help from above in the final battle of faith ….

B.D. 6832 from May 17th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

You will be fully compensated in the spiritual kingdom for all the hardships imposed on you by earthly life if you take them upon yourselves with devotion and pay less attention to your body than to your soul. I have prepared a glorious fate for all those who have to bear suffering and hardship for the sake of My name, who value Me and My kingdom more highly than earthly goods and earthly rewards …. who prove their loyalty to Me by gladly taking physical hardship and deprivation upon themselves when it is necessary to confess for Me and My kingdom …. For this time will come one day and make great demands on you humans. Much will be taken from you if you refuse to deny Me. They will try to force you with brute force and you will need much strength to resist but you will also receive it in abundance. Yet physically you will not be able to indulge but only ever have what you need to sustain your life. For this comes to you from Me, because I Myself take care of My own when they are deprived of everything by an enemy power. But it is only a short time and they will be repaid a thousand fold for their loyalty …. on the new earth or also in the spiritual kingdom where glories await them which are inconceivable to them. But as long as they are still on earth I will assure them of My constant help, I will truly not leave them in earthly adversity, no matter how threatening and dangerous their situation may seem …. He who sustains heaven and earth can also sustain you who stand by Me and openly confess this before the world. And for the sake of My own I will also shorten the days. (17.5.1957) I know that they are difficult for you and I don’t want you to waver in your faith because you are still weak people despite your will and because I also know how much My adversary will press you in your battle of faith. And I will not let you fall into his hands. That is why the last battle on this earth will take place in a very short time, and you can confidently and with full faith expect My imminent coming as soon as this battle erupts on earth. But then you should also humbly take all difficulties upon yourselves and only ever confidently wait for My help, for I will not leave you. And you should not grieve for those whom I fetch home first, whose earthly life seems particularly difficult to you and gives you cause for doubt …. For a glorious fate truly awaits them in My kingdom, and their suffering and hardship on earth will be repaid to them a thousand fold as well as the loyalty they have shown Me. And thus no person need fear the coming difficult time who already feels inwardly connected to Me, who is willing to fulfil My will, to serve Me and thereby come close to Me …. For he already belongs to Me and his further fate is only the ladder to ascend the final height. And then all those promises concerning My care for you will obviously come true: I will refresh you …. I will hear your petitions …. I will take care of your body and your earthly life, I will make the burden easy for you and only put a gentle yoke on you …. I will take Me as your father so that you will not be orphaned in the world …. for the world will hate you and persecute you, it will cast you out of its community, and My little flock will fearfully flee to its shepherd, and My sheepfold will receive all of them and grant them safe shelter. I will deny the wolf his further advance, and shortly, therefore, the fate of him who is …. completely dominated by My adversary …. will play a major role in that battle of faith, who himself rules over his followers and whose measures will be directed against all believers and thus also against Me Myself, Whom he seeks to dethrone. He will not have a long life span, and this should also be an indication to you and a hope that only a short time will pass until the end comes, which means redemption from all adversity for My own ….

Amen

Warning against appearances and outward appearances ….

B.D. 6833 from May 18th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

I know all your thoughts, I know your innermost heart’s emotions and therefore you can never deceive Me. I want to say this to all those who think differently than their mouths speak, who can indeed throw sand in the eyes of their fellow human beings but who must never believe that I evaluate what the mouth speaks but only ever look at the heart as it feels. And thus you humans will also be able to understand that every outwardly recognizable behaviour is pointless and futile, that it is only ever intended to hide your innermost feelings and emotions from your fellow human being and that it only encourages deceitfulness and dissimulation when people think and feel differently. But nothing remains hidden from Me …. I see into the furthest corner of the heart and I will also evaluate all of the human being’s actions accordingly. For this reason I would first like to educate you into truthfulness, I would like to awaken the feeling of responsibility in you so that you will judge yourselves, that you will exercise strict self-criticism of your thoughts and actions and that you will drop all games towards Me, that you will completely expose yourselves and approach Me as you really are …. in order to then also recognize your faults and shortcomings and now work on yourselves with all seriousness. For the little cloaks which you like to put on yourselves in order to hide the real thing underneath are of no use to you. And I ask you: Are you more interested in the judgement of your fellow human beings than in Mine? What you do in a worldly way might well give you cause to cover yourselves, to put on a mask …. But you also play such a game of hide and seek on a spiritual level. Where the salvation of your soul is concerned you should remain truthful or you will only prove that you don’t believe in Me as a supremely perfect, all-pervading being. And therefore the person who refrains from everything that is to be regarded as soul work and also openly admits this is even better to be called than those who give themselves the appearance of being good and pious and yet do no work at all on their soul. For these know what their earthly task is but they don’t comply with it but feign it. And every lie is from the adversary, therefore they also voluntarily give themselves into his sphere. Anyone who seriously strives to attain perfection quietly works on himself, and fellow human beings will only notice little of it, only his way of life in love is outwardly recognizable …. Works of love can also be feigned and in truth be certain striving towards a aim, but even these are not valued by Me, for true love awakens in the human being’s heart and cannot be replaced by external actions. All people should be told that I demand true sincerity where salvation of soul is striven for …. that I will not be satisfied with externalities if this sincerity of love is lacking, and that no-one can pretend to Me …. You should pray in spirit and in truth, and in the same way you should act in spirit and in truth …. But every outward appearance is pretence and deception, which the heart also recognizes and the human being therefore avoids all outward appearances as soon as there is a deep and sincere desire in his heart to unite with Me …. Then every outward appearance will only disturb his inner gathering, then he will also keep away from traditional customs which are nothing but symbols lacking the actual meaning. Many people lack the right seriousness for a change of nature, and yet this alone will earn them a life of bliss, for a deformed soul cannot be transferred into a sphere where it would have to perish …. It cannot enter the kingdom of light if it has not first shaped itself such that it has become receptive to light …. And for the purpose of this transformation it is on earth …. And therefore this transformation, the change of nature, should be pursued with all seriousness, for the human being only has a short time at his disposal for it which, however, is fully sufficient if he has the will to reach Me. Then I will truly assist him and help him to mature in every way, then he will recognize himself and call to Me from within his heart, and I will hear his call because he was sent to Me in spirit and in truth ….

Amen

Right christianity ….

B.D. 6834 from May 19th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

A good christian is only the person who endeavours to live a life of following Jesus, which means that he lives in love, that he also patiently takes up his cross and devotedly carries it into My will; it is not only enough to confess Jesus Christ with his mouth but profound faith in His act of salvation must also cause him to live as the man Jesus lived on earth, because then he will also accept the divine teaching of love which Jesus preached on earth …. Only through a life of love does he prove that he is a true christian, but not through external affiliation to a church which can also harbour completely unbelieving, unloving people who must be denied the name ‘christian’. Thus, if christianity is to spread it is not enough to induce people to join a church, a religious organization, instead, in addition to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation they must first be taught the divine teaching of love and its living out as the most important thing in order to be accepted as a true christian into My church …. which only includes ‘true christians’ …. because pseudo-christianity cannot signify belonging to My church which, like its founder, is spirit and truth …. You humans must seriously come to terms with the fact that I, as the eternal truth Myself, can never be satisfied with a sham christianity …. And then you must ask yourselves whether you are seriously trying to rightly bear the name ‘christian’ …. You must take Jesus the man as an example and make an effort to follow His example …. And this means working on yourselves, for all of you must become gentle and patient, peaceful and humble, merciful and just and full of love in order to be like the one Who took life on earth as a human being upon Himself in order to exemplify a right way of life for you …. And only someone who consciously works on himself walks the path of following Jesus, he strives to be a right christian and Jesus Christ helps him to do so, he walks the earthly path together with Him, and he now also belongs to the ‘congregation of believers’, which is to be understood as His church …. who, in view of the divine redeemer, walk their roads in love and in suffering, who are therefore also redeemed from their original sin, who recognize Him in their heart and have joined Him and not just talk empty words and in truth have not yet found the divine redeemer Jesus Christ. Christianity will be spread over the whole earth …. Wherever true love is kindled in the heart, the divine redeemer will also be acknowledged and My spirit will guide them into truth …. And therefore My gospel can resound everywhere and touch people’s hearts …. But the working of My spirit is not guaranteed everywhere, even if people are brought close to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer …. Only living according to His teaching gives people the right to call themselves christians, otherwise people remain dark heathens, whether they belong to a church organization or not …. And again I have to emphasize that I Myself will not allow Myself to be deceived but that countless people carry out such a deceptive manoeuvre because they do not fulfil My commandments of love which show the path of following Jesus. A true christianity is only ever a way of life in love …. Where this is lacking there is also a lack of the right seriousness to reach Me, and there My adversary will have an easy game if the right christian is to prove himself …. in the last battle on this earth ….

Amen

Tireless reminder and warning of the end ….

B.D. 6835 from May 21st 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Only a short time separates you from the great event which will take place as My direct influence in order to send you the last great warning before the end. It can only ever be pointed out to you but you cannot be forced to believe it, but one day you will bitterly regret not having believed these predictions, for it depends on whether and how you use the short time for your souls. For this event will cost countless sacrifices, and none of you knows whether he himself will also be a victim, and then his soul will enter the kingdom of the beyond completely unprepared, and yet it could have achieved great spiritual progress …. (5/21/1957) You have travelled a long path before you were allowed to stay on this earth as a human being for the purpose of the test of will, the passing of which will earn you a glorious life in the spiritual kingdom in light and freedom …. Now during this time, which precedes the last end, only a few people are intent on fulfilling their actual purpose of earthly life, and once they have passed earthly life then the course of development on earth is irrevocably completed. A completely different phase of development begins in the spiritual kingdom when a person’s passing away occurs even before the last destruction. And this can still be a blessing for the human being that the soul still comes to realization and strives upwards, for which it is also given every help in the spiritual kingdom. But when the hour of the end has come, then a period of development is completely finished, then there is no longer a possibility for the immature soul to make up for what it has missed in the kingdom of the beyond, then the gates into this kingdom are closed for a long time and a thorough purification takes place, both in the earthly as well as in the spiritual world. For people who failed in their earthly lifetime, the long course of development beforehand has been in vain …. They do not attain freedom, but the earthly-material shells of the soul harden …. It begins a new course of development in solid matter, it takes upon itself the dreadful sufferings and torments of being bound, it goes through the creations of the new earth again in its individual substances …. It falls back into endless depths and yet was shortly before the end of its course of development …. You humans should seriously try to imagine this, then you will also understand why I constantly and with untiring patience send you warnings and admonitions. I want to protect you from this fate of a new banishment and only ever admonish you to work on your soul to such an extent that you may still enter the spiritual kingdom first. I know about the countless souls who are approaching this fate but whose will remains completely free until the end and can still change in the last hour. I also know about the many people of weak faith whom I therefore also want to address, and I try to bring all of them to their senses through My last great intervention before the end. And all of them shall experience that not long afterwards the end will also come, as it is proclaimed …. Especially the predictions through seers and prophets are still means of grace of special value, but they have to be used in free will. And I help everyone to strengthen their will precisely through My coming intervention, which is only a confirmation for them that the end will not be long in coming either …. And those who do not yet believe can still come to faith. You don’t know how beneficial the belief in an end can be for you humans, but I cannot give you such clear evidence that your faith would be under compulsion. Yet I speak to you again and again, and I will speak to you until the last day in order to merely achieve a turning of your thoughts towards Me …. For then the greatest danger will be averted, then I will still be able to call you away beforehand and spare your soul the repeated earthly progress through the creations …. even though it will then also have to struggle hard in the kingdom of the beyond in order to ascend, yet it will receive help in every way in order to attain beatitude one day after all ….

Amen

God's infinite fatherly love …. painful means ….

B.D. 6836 from May 22nd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Nothing needed to make you doubt the ‘love of God’, for I would not let the smallest disaster come upon you if it were to harm you. But you humans don’t see the disaster which threatens you on the part of My adversary, which causes My love to draw your attention to you, which can often only happen through suffering and hardship, through which I only want to get you into contact with Me so that I can now also obviously assist you. My love for you is so great that it only ever wants what is best for you, and you should never doubt My love, for it brought you into being and will remain with you for all eternity …. But there is one thing it cannot do: restrict your free will …. If only My love were the only determining factor you would all have been supernatural beings long ago. Yet My love is so great that I would like to shape you into gods, but this is only possible if this transformation takes place of your own free will and you have to use this free will yourselves, thus it can never be ‘directed’ by Me, otherwise you could indeed become blissful ‘creatures’ but not ‘divine images’. And this great love of Mine does not diminish, it is always and constantly meant for you and will therefore only ever do what favours your bliss but will never want to harm you. But as long as you live on earth as a human being you lack full knowledge of My nature as well as of My plan of salvation. The correlations are not yet known to you, nor are you able to grasp all correlations. This is why you still often question and doubt, even if you have already joined Me of your own will, that you strive towards Me and are also able to believe in Me with conviction as your God and creator; but you are not yet able to see the father in Me …. For you will not doubt the ‘father’s’ love for his ‘child’ because it is quite natural that the father’s love is for his child. And if doubts arise in you about My love, then always remember that you are My children whom I will never ever give up …. remember that My fatherly love is truly something else than the love of an earthly father for his child …. that it exceeds the latter’s love immeasurably in ardour and that such love only ever wants the child’s beatitude. And as soon as you are convinced of My love you will also accept everything with devotion, even if it involves suffering and hardship. But then you will also turn to your ‘father’ with complete trust and wait for His help, which will certainly be granted to you. The dangers which surround you in the last days before the end often make Me resort to means which make you doubt My love …. but if they drive you towards Me, then I will have achieved the purpose, I will have indirectly shown My child an act of love which I recognized as salvation …. It is about your bliss in freedom, it is about your deification on this earth. And nothing happens which would not be helpful for you to reach the aim …. Therefore, nothing shall cause you to doubt the love of your father and creator from eternity, for it never ends, it applies to you, My living creations, for all eternity and only wants to achieve that you shape yourselves into My children inzorder to be able to make you happy with My fatherly love forever ….

Amen

Earthly improvement …. Worldly progress ….

B.D. 6837 from May 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Do not let yourselves be deceived even if you see earthly improvements …. You should know that I do not curtail any person’s will, that everyone may create and work freely and that he therefore also frequently uses the strength to do so wrongly by promoting earthly development and taking pleasure in it …. And you should know that even then spiritual attainment is still intended for the bound spiritual substance in matter, that it will reach to be of service, if only for a short time. But this should not deceive you who know about My plan of Salvation and who should also assuredly defend what My spirit has proclaimed to you. You should refer to the near end and to the transience of all worldly things with increased vigour, even if everything around you speaks of the opposite. You should not let yourselves be deceived, for everything will come to pass as I proclaim to you over and over again. And precisely people’s increased drive to produce earthly works should also be seen as a sign of the end, where an abundance of material gain is intended which will completely dominate people’s thoughts. However, spiritual aspirants will watch the development with uncertainty and doubts, it will seem impossible to them that an end should be so close while everything only testifies to development and worldly progress, a heightened enjoyment of life and with it spiritual regression …. But you should not doubt, and therefore I repeatedly remind you that I will come like a thief in the night …. When everyone is fast asleep, that is, when people rest on their laurels, when they, satisfied with themselves, slow down and drift into a certain sleep of death …. they will be rudely awakened in the middle of their souls’ night. If anything, the worldly progress can far more likely be regarded by you as a definite sign of what lies ahead of you …. But you must not waver in your faith in My Word, for you shall stand up for it. That is why I enlighten you.

I do not stop people from achieving their worldly plans, and I even take part in it Myself insofar as that I temporarily allow those spiritual substances to be of service which are willing, so as to be able to grant them at the time of disintegration an easier external form …. And many of the constrained spirits will still be able to serve, hard matter will be disintegrated and used for helpful purposes; the will of these spirits shall be taken into account and I alone know the extent of these spiritual beings’ resistance and thus support or hinder them accordingly. But the apparent worldly development and progress will also completely alienate many souls from Me and already gives reason to intervene unexpectedly …. And because people’s thoughts and intentions are dominated by matter I once again will have to show them how transient it is and how little people can do themselves in order to protect what they had built …. Once again I will have to demonstrate My power and My will which cannot be resisted by anything. But time and again I also want to tell My Own that they need not doubt My Word …. that heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. You receive clarification from Me time and again; worldly people, however, keep distancing themselves from Me ever more and My Word does not affect them. They are engrossed in matter, they hoard earthly possessions, they indulge themselves in all kinds of pleasures and outwardly everything gives the impression of improved living conditions …. But the spiritual state continues to decline and draws the end ever closer …. and it will come to pass as it is proclaimed …. when no-one expects it I will let My voice be heard, and when no-one expects it the end will appear …. For My Word is and remains eternal truth, and it has announced an end and a Judgment to you ….

Amen

State after death ….

B.D. 6838 from May 24th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

After your death you will enter a realm which is like the one you left …. i.e., your surroundings will now also correspond to your state of soul. If only matter filled your thinking, then the world you now enter will also appear material to you; it will place all things before your eyes to which your senses still apply, only that it is an illusory world which will pass away as soon as you want to take possession of it. But it takes a long time for a dark soul before it understands that it no longer inhabits the material world, which is why even such souls often don’t know that they have died in the body. However, the illusions of their new surroundings become ever more unclear, ever more blurred, so that they then feel an appalling emptiness because their spiritual eyes are still closed and their power of imagination for earthly things becomes ever less. And so then they move in barren, endlessly vast regions …. if they don’t sink very deeply and wage battles with beings of their own kind in bitterest enmity. A change through completely meaningless vastness can bring the souls to self-contemplation and let them recognize the worthlessness of earthly material goods, and then they can also become aware of their dead state, and as soon as only that is achieved that the souls start to think about their desolate situation, the time has now also come when these souls are helped by suddenly meeting beings and they now look for a way out together …. Those beings come from the kingdom of light but veil themselves and come in the same form to leave the souls fullest freedom of will. And then, with good will, their surroundings can brighten noticeably and an activity can now be assigned to them according to their own will to help. The nature of their activity cannot be presented to you humans because the different areas of spiritual activity also require completely different conditions and often also demand unknown work for spheres unknown to humans. For God has let undreamt-of creations arise for the maturing of the still imperfect souls …. but the state of the souls also determines the creation to which they are now supplied for further development. But if the human being on earth has already been able to detach himself from matter, if his thinking and striving has been turned towards the spiritual kingdom, then the soul can find itself again in spheres of light when it leaves the earthly cover …. i.e., it is able to recognize its surroundings, it sees magnificent creations which, however, have nothing in common with earthly things, which likewise cannot be described but which can be immediately grasped by that soul because of its state of maturity …. thus, as it were, realization comes to the soul in a flash and it possesses knowledge which was never conveyed to it before …. It becomes light in and around itself, and this light makes it immensely happy and awakens in it the desire to communicate, to help and likewise to make itself happy. It will also feel transported into areas which are indescribably beautiful to look at, and it will not be alone but meet equally mature beings and want to work together with them …. And it will also grasp its new activity in a flash, it will not have the feeling that it is entering a foreign realm but feel transported to its home, which it only left of its own free will …. It will also know that this caused its unhappiness and that many beings are still in an unhappy state whom it now wants to help to return to the father’s house. An indescribably beautiful fate awaits those souls which have passed their test of will on earth and consciously turned to God in free will …. And these souls will see indescribably beautiful creations, they will also be able to be creatively active in abundance of light and strength, depending on the soul’s degree of maturity. Their concern, however, will be especially for the unfortunate souls which were close to them in earthly life and have taken a completely different path than those souls …. but they will not forget them and thus work on them in the spiritual kingdom, albeit unrecognized, in order to snatch them from the abyss for the time being and also enable their ascent. For all work in the spiritual kingdom is meant for the redemption of the fallen …. And every being which can enter the light offers itself for voluntary cooperation because it is full of love and would like to carry the light of love, which shines through itself, into the darkness in order to thank God and serve Him eternally ….

Amen

Can pure truth come to earth without error? ….

B.D. 6839 from May 26th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Every human being must fight against the attacks of the enemy of his soul. And he truly finds many means with which he hopes to reach his aim. He always attacks people where they are sensitive, which is well known to him. Whether it is weaknesses or vices, he will always make use of moments where they come to the fore, and then he also has an easy game, even if he only succeeds in causing confusion and unrest which drive people one step closer to him again. And a particularly effective means for him is to scatter doubts into people’s hearts, doubts about divine care, about God’s love and power and about the correctness of man’s thinking itself. Such doubts create confusion and unrest, which he then seeks to exploit to good effect. But every human being also has his protective spirits around him which take up the fight with God’s adversary in such a way that they also influence the human being’s thoughts and these will truly be more successful than he is if the human being himself is of God-turned-will. And thus you humans are told again and again that even a brief thought of God will save you from this danger, for this will enable all your guides and guardian spirits to push God’s adversary away from you, and inner peace and the blissful certainty of security in God will return. And then everything that caused doubts to arise in you will be clearly laid out in front of you and you will be able to meet all attacks with strength and repel them ….

It is certainly true that God speaks to all people who want to hear Him …. It is also true that He gives them comfort and admonitions through the voice of the spirit, that the thoughts which move a person after heartfelt prayer to the father can therefore be regarded as the working of the divine spirit, Who now directs the thinking correctly if the person allows the working of the spirit within himself through his way of life in love …. It is true that they can all feel addressed by God, their creator and father from eternity …. But all these people will also recognize the father’s voice if spiritual knowledge is imparted to them which has likewise reached a person as ‘working of the spirit’ but which, apart from comforts and admonitions and fatherly words of love, contains wise enlightenments …. knowledge which cannot reach earth in any other way than directly, which requires a special vessel into which the spirit from God can pour itself. And this knowledge is only conveyed to earth because individual people, who are to be active on earth as teachers, are to be introduced to God’s plan of salvation so that the correlations are clear to them and they can now also speak to their fellow human beings about it with conviction when questions are asked or clarification is desired. It is simply a matter of the fact that only truthful explanations can lead to inner conviction, thus to a living faith …. But people must also know that truth can only be recognized as such when the human being lives in love. Therefore, the divine teaching of love has to be preached to people first, and only the living out of this teaching enables him to directly receive as well as recognize the truth if it is offered to him through mediators. A certain degree of maturity is a prerequisite in order to be able to be introduced by God to a knowledge which can be called the ‘divine plan of salvation’ …. a knowledge which also cannot be taught in a school-like manner because it cannot be proven …. a knowledge which is also not absolutely necessary to attain beatitude, which is already guaranteed by fulfilling the divine commandments of love …. a knowledge which, however, can be the key for many seriously seeking, reflecting and truth-desiring people, which opens the gates for them, which can lead them to faith and also to love. And such knowledge has therefore been deemed necessary for humanity by God because error has already spread and established itself through His adversary’s influence to such an extent that even those people are almost no longer able to recognize truth which has nevertheless asserted itself alongside error. God truly knows that it is necessary to inform people, but not every person is capable of receiving such knowledge, and therefore doubts about the truth of unusual knowledge are also justified, but they cannot be denied, that God guides the truth to earth when He deems it necessary, otherwise He would also have to be denied love and power which would not and could not prevent the adversary from likewise using his instrument to invalidate or contaminate the truth guided to earth by God …. Admittedly, God does not use any means of coercion to prepare an instrument for Himself, but as soon as this instrument surrenders its will to Him, as soon as it voluntarily submits itself to Him, God’s love and power can and will also surround the vessel into which He pours His divine ray of love like a protective wall. And because God’s adversary is then completely powerless, because his cooperation is made impossible, he will then try to invalidate God’s activity in another way by trying to awaken doubt after doubt in the hearts of those who approach the examination of this divine spiritual knowledge, and he will also gain great influence where greatest desire for truth and pure love do not illuminate a person’s spirit so brightly that he recognizes the father’s voice, which also speaks to him and reaches his heart. But complete devotion to God in all humility and love could let all people brightly and clearly recognize His rule and activity, which is based precisely on the end time and wants to save you humans from the abyss into which His adversary seeks to push you …. But the human being himself must seriously want to know the truth ….

Amen

Power of God indispensable for ascension ….

B.D. 6840 from May 27th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

No soul is able to rise from the depths on its own, for it is completely powerless and can only do so with God’s help. God has granted it the first help by allowing it to walk the path through creation …. by dissolving it into innumerable little particles, to each of which He assigned a purpose. And thus the fallen being in the state of compulsion thus walks the path upwards …. But once it has overcome this period of development, once the soul is to continue its ascent as a self-aware being in the stage of a human being, then it will need the supply of strength again, for its own strength is still too small to master the last short but ascending path. But now the being is no longer determined by God’s will but it is left to itself to request strength, to receive it and to evaluate it correctly. Admittedly, every human being on earth has enough vitality at his disposal, and if it is now used in accordance with God’s will then it will inevitably also provide the soul with the strength to cover this ascent, and it will then certainly also reach the aim. However, the right use of vitality is synonymous with love activity …. You humans don’t know how much strength you can acquire if you use your vitality in accordance with God’s will to carry out works of unselfish neighbourly love …. Then your lack of strength, which was caused by the former fall into sin, will disappear. But you will be able to understand it when you are told what this fall into sin consisted of: you rejected God’s strength of love and thereby became weak, thus completely powerless …. As soon as you work in love again you let yourselves be illuminated by God’s strength of love again, and thus you also regain the abilities you originally possessed. Yet the will alone to be united with the deity, to Whom you owe your existence, results in strength flowing to you from God, because this will makes God’s illumination of love possible. However, you will not be able to achieve anything without the influx of strength from God …. For then you will still be in the same resistance as when you once fell away from Him, you will reject what alone signifies strength for you. You are still in the sphere of death which you entered with the devotion of strength and light …. And if the life energy, which is at every person’s disposal on earth, is used wrongly, that is, that it is only used for the benefit of the body and the soul cannot derive any benefit from it, then it will also remain in the same state it was in at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being. It has not taken a step forward and is in greatest danger of losing even the degree of maturity it reached in the state of compulsion. For the soul cannot rise without strength, it is held fast by God’s adversary and offers no resistance itself because it is too weak to do so. This weakness is therefore the result of the original sin, and if the human being wants to become master of it, then he must repeatedly request strength …. he must call upon the one Who died on the cross for acquiring strength for weak people …. He has to entrust himself to Jesus Christ in his weakness and ask Him to help him gain strength, which will certainly be given to him out of grace and mercy, so that the human being can now successfully cover the path upwards. Then God’s adversary will no longer have control over him, then he will have to release him, and then the soul will also seek and find unity with God again and will no longer want to detach it eternally ….

Amen

The will for truth guarantees its receipt ….

B.D. 6841 from May 29th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

The will for truth also guarantees its receipt. You humans should believe that He Who is the essence of truth, Who is full of love and mercy, Who would like to help all people become enlightened …. since only light can give beatitude …. wants everyone to know the truth and thus will also bestow it upon anyone who requests it …. Believe that He also has the might to repel the prince of falsehood and darkness every time he tries to interfere, but that the desire for truth must be present …. And because this desire is only rarely to be found My adversary succeeds in spreading error and lies all over the world. If you are therefore indifferent and unreservedly accept whatever is offered to you, then your desire for truth is not present in you and you will hardly live in truth, for then God’s adversary has the prerogative which you have granted him yourselves. But where the desire for truth prevails, you must not dispute God’s might …. nor should you doubt that His love wants to give what is beneficial for you. It is so simple to accept this explanation that God will always prove His might and love where people submit to Him. And it is foolish to assume that the human being cannot possibly receive the pure truth because he is imperfect ….

Only the person’s will is the decisive factor but this cannot be substituted by fine words. And thus you need only ever ask yourselves whether you aim for nothing else but the pure truth, whether you desire the ‘truth’ from the bottom of your heart, for then you desire ‘God’ and He will also give Himself to you. And even if your thoughts were to go astray, even if your thoughts gave room to error, He is nevertheless able to enlighten you so that you can recognise wrong thoughts and turn towards the only truth. But a person who only wants the truth will also be protected from misguided thinking, he simply will not be compelled. Yet the spirits of light, the messengers of truth, will have far more influence on his thoughts than the forces of darkness, and can protect the person from misguided spiritual knowledge …. They, on their part, can send him mental impulses which are more readily accepted and invalidate the wrong thoughts. Due to the desire for truth they are entitled to do so, given that this desire acknowledges God Himself Who is ‘Eternal Truth’. People should never forget that it is God’s aim to lead people to beatitude, that everything which is immature and imperfect is not beatitude and that error and falsehood simply demonstrate imperfection, that they are a part of the one who brought all evil into the world.

Spiritual darkness, lack of realisation, is also a sign of imperfection. But all these are just the consequences of a wrongly directed will by the self-aware spiritual being. If, however, this will is turned in the right direction …. which is proven by the desire for truth and thus for God as the Eternal Truth …. then the effect of the wrong thoughts will be neutralised …. Then God Himself must take the being’s ignorance away and lead it into realisation. And that necessitates an imparting of truth. Hence people can always count on it that God will place the person into a state of enlightenment as soon as he wants this himself …. But the fact that he wants it is a prerequisite which has to be fulfilled by the person himself. In that case, however, his initiation into the truth will be assured, then his thinking will be enlightened, and he brightly and clearly will be able to distinguish error from truth …. For God’s love wants to help its living creation find beatitude and not plunge it into darkness again, if it desires to receive light ….

Amen

God's will comes forth when adversariy transcend boundaries ….

B.D. 6842 from May 31th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

You humans cannot oppose God’s will if He allows it to become active. His will rules in heaven and on earth, in the kingdom of light as well as in the kingdom of darkness. But He will only ever use His will when the opposing will is so completely out of order that it has to be overruled in order not to endanger the still weak-willed spirit which has not yet completely fallen prey to the prince of darkness. In the kingdom of light only God’s will is valid, and all spiritual beings lovingly conform to this will and find their beatitude in the implementation of divine will. Now on earth the will of the spiritual …. of people …. has not yet been completely decided. has not yet completely decided whether it should bow to God’s will or allow itself to be captured by the prince of darkness …. and although God’s will is always decisive, He will nevertheless remain silent towards the human being, i.e. God does not use any compulsion of will but seeks to achieve by other means what He has set as His aim:… that the human being voluntarily submits to His will. His aim is and remains the integration of the being into the divine law of eternity …. Although it is easy for God to place the being into that divine order, this is not enough for Him. This placement should take place in complete freedom of will, only then will the being be suitable for the kingdom of light, where only God’s will rules. But this is why earth is a station of development where chaotic conditions can be found next to divine order, where people themselves determine what they will do with their earthly life, in which sphere they will live and which degree of development they will attain. God’s will does not determine the human being but He also allows that which does not correspond to His will or His eternal order, yet He knows this and also allows such to become a means again which can be beneficial and promotes ascent development. God is powerful and wise …. He applies His power where His wisdom recognizes expediency. And He withdraws His will when the being’s will is to decide freely in order to achieve perfection …. And thus He also lets the beings rage and work in darkness, yet always putting a stop to it when an encroachment on the human being’s free will on earth is intended from that side …. And such an encroachment will always take place before the end of a redemption period and is also to be expected again now, which consists of making it impossible for the human being to make a free decision of will …. insofar as, on the one hand, people are forced to give up their faith in God, and on the other hand, people are to be deprived of the knowledge of God and the act of salvation through coercive measures. As long as people still have the possibility to decide freely of their own free will, they are responsible for their own decision …. But if this possibility is taken away from him, then the will of God’s adversary will prevail, and then the adversary will find his master in God, Who rules everything in heaven and on earth …. Then God’s will will also take His adversary’s freedom away and bind him so that the divine order will not be completely overturned. Then His power will prove itself to everything that is hostile towards Him. And it will not be long before this encroachment on the part of the adversary becomes obvious, for the time has come when people’s weakness of will can no longer offer resistance, where the adversary has an easy game and where he would make all maturing of people impossible if a stronger person did not take away his power. For God is indeed long-suffering and patient, and He watches for a very long time as His adversary rages amongst humanity, but He does not let him have victory …. He helps the weak who cannot resist him, and His will is enough to put an end to his activity, even though it seems for a long time as if the adversary will reach his aim …. For God alone reigns in heaven and on earth, in the kingdom of light and also in the dark world ….

Amen

Thoughts are emanations from the spiritual realm ….

B.D. 6843 from June 1st 1957, taken from Book No. 73

No-one knows his own destiny and no-one is able to determine it …. but everyone knows that he won’t stay on earth forever and that he can be called away even on the next day, that he can also be surprised by strokes of destiny which he is unable to avert. But only a few people make use of this certain knowledge by working towards the life which follows afterwards …. towards life in the spiritual kingdom which lasts forever. And the rest don’t make use of it because they are not convinced of life after death …. It is, however, also impossible to provide them with proof of this because it would render the whole of earthly life useless, as its purpose concerns a completely free decision of will …. but proof would already result in a coercion of will. For this reason people are left to a certain extent to their own devices, they walk through earthly life without precisely knowing its meaning and purpose, nevertheless they are able to reach a clear understanding if they strive for it. For people are able to think …. For the duration of their earthly life they received a gift, the capacity to think, thus also the intellect to process thoughts and to verify their truth …. for people can have right as well as incorrect thoughts. This is proof of the fact that they receive thoughts from two sides but that the choice of thoughts is left up to them …. Thus, thought itself is not a product generated by the person himself and emanated outward but it first flows to him as strength from the spiritual kingdom. However, you ought to know that thinking will not stop with your body’s death but that this demonstrates to the self-aware soul its bond with God …. insofar as that, in the state of perfection, it will receive His spiritual illumination in the form of thoughts …. In contrast, in the imperfect state God’s adversary gains influence over the self-aware being, regardless of whether it still lives on earth or it is in the realm of the beyond. Hence thinking does not stop, it can merely be confused or entirely wrong if the soul’s degree of maturity is low and therefore God’s adversary has a greater influence than God Himself, Who will never forcibly impose Himself but wait until the being submits itself to Him …. Thoughts are thus something spiritual, more or less corresponding to truth but always contributions from the spiritual realm, which can therefore also be classed as forces …. once again, with good or evil consequences, depending on their origin. Anyone who does not believe in the continuation of life is satisfied with the explanation that thought originates in the human being himself. But then death would extinguish all reasoning power, then it would not be easy to explain the concept of ‘soul’, which, in contrast to the body …. the earthly-material external shell …. is the human being’s inner life, his thoughts, feelings and intentions ….

The soul is everlasting, thus it will continue to be able to think, feel and want, if it is to continue living after death …. Something that is alive, self-aware, has to be able to show these characteristics that it can think, feel and want.

As long as these abilities do not exist, the being is still in a state of constraint in which it cannot be held fully responsible for its actions. But the being is given a task during its lifetime on earth, consequently, it must also be able to think and want and to act accordingly …. Hence, the point is that it should voluntarily adapt itself to the divine order which it revoked when turned away from God. Since its apostasy from God resulted in its decent into darkness, i.e. into complete lack of realisation, it must now, in order to make a free decision of will, be introduced again to knowledge which flows to it from the spiritual kingdom and which can be accepted but also rejected again by the human being. People’s thoughts are therefore such influxes, but they can come both from the kingdom of light as well as from the realm of darkness. The human being himself is equipped with the gift of intellect in order to be able deal with the thoughts flowing to him. But sharpness of intellect is not so crucial as a heart willing to love in order to be receptive to thought waves from the kingdom of light …. Consequently, the degree of realisation will match accordingly and a person who lives a life of love will find it easy to make the right decision …. whereas a heartless person is sent thoughts from the realm of darkness and is more willing to accept these and thereby becomes increasingly more enslaved by God’s adversary. The human being certainly believes that the thoughts are his own spiritual product, that he, by virtue of his intellect and his externally received education, generates them himself …. in that case, however, his soul would be entirely empty at the moment of death, but it is, in fact, the human being’s actual Self and can therefore not stop thinking, feeling and wanting …. it therefore remains within the area of thought waves but it created or can still create the sphere which it now occupies. Although its thinking will be weak and confused in the dark spheres, nevertheless, it can think …. and also clarify this thinking if it wants to. Thought is spiritual strength which cannot disappear, for that reason every thought will also have some kind of result, negative …. if it flows from the kingdom of darkness and is accepted, or positive …. if it originates in the kingdom of light and finds acceptance in human hearts. Thus, the human being himself need only prove his willingness of acceptance by desiring contact with the kingdom of light. This is why no person will ever allow good thoughts to arise in himself if he is totally captivated by the adversary, because he does not produce the thoughts himself but they flow to him like waves, he must allow them to surround him if they are to have a beneficial effect on him …. if they are to impart the knowledge to him which helps him to make the right decision. For this is every individual person’s only goal in life, on account of which he was allowed to embody himself on Earth ….

Amen

The right physician and the right medicine ….

B.D. 6844 from June 3rd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Time and again you humans will receive what helps your soul’s recovery, but it will only ever be offered to you, you will not be forced to accept it. And therefore many souls will remain ill and weak because they ignore what I constantly offer them in My Love: My Word, which is the best medicine for the critically ill soul. Your soul is already ailing when it begins its earthly life and shall take the path across earth in order to achieve complete recovery. But it can also leave earth again in the same state of weakness, in that case, however, it will still have to struggle for an infinitely long time until it achieves what it could easily have achieved on earth …. complete well-being, a state immersed in light and abundant strength, which makes it indescribably happy.

I Myself lived on earth as a human being in order to give you an example as to how to live a correct way of life on earth …. I knew all the weaknesses and shortcomings of a human being and have shown you how you can reach your goal despite your weakness and imperfection …. I instructed you, hence I spoke to you Myself, I offered you on earth the medicine by which you can be healed. Admittedly, I returned again into My kingdom but time after time My Word is made accessible to you, for I Myself speak through the mouth of My servants, My disciples, who speak on My instructions …. I Myself descend to you humans in My Word, I Am present with you in My Word, because I took pity on you when I saw your ailing and weak souls, because I know that you need a physician Who can heal you because He knows your condition and keeps the right medicine ready. Yet only rarely do you turn to this physician and thus remain in your weakness and cannot recover. And even if I speak to you, you don’t listen and the short time of your life on earth is passing by without having made any spiritual progress.

And so I have to speak louder …. As a conscientious physician I must also undertake painful interventions in order to save your souls from certain death …. Remember this when you experience things which appear cruel to you, which you are unable to reconcile with the ‘love of a God’ …. Remember that I do not force you to listen to Me but, if you refuse, I will speak to you such that you will have to hear Me …. Remember that even the most painful intervention is only based on My love for you. But if you give Me the opportunity to speak to you just once by thinking about the One, the Almighty, Who controls everyone’s fate, then great danger will already have been averted from you. Then you will have entrusted yourselves to the Physician and Helper to some extent, and then He can also administer the right medicine by speaking to you and giving you instructions which, if you follow them, will surely save you from death.

I only want that you spend thoughts on Me, for only then will I be able to gain access to you, because then you will voluntarily open the door of your heart to Me through which I can enter and give you what you urgently need. And because I don’t use any coercion I use other means which can direct your thoughts to Me. All distressing events, all kinds of misfortunes and even natural disasters are such means used for My living creations who hardly ever think of Me and their actual task during their earthly life, I pity them, for their ailing souls will still have much sorrow to bear if they do not strive for recovery while they are still living on earth. For I Am a God of love Who wants to see all His living creations be happy but Who also always respects His creatures’ free will and thus leaves the shaping of its future fate to the soul itself ….

Amen

The good Shepherd ….

B.D. 6845 from June 4th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

The parable of the good Shepherd illustrates My relationship to you; it shows you that I confer My loving care on all My living creations and that all those who listen to My call belong to My flock which I protect from the adversary’s onslaughts. All of you need a Shepherd, a Guide, Who shows you the right ways, who escorts you and is always ready to shield you from all dangers, because during your earthly life you resemble dependent babes which constantly require protection. Like a flock of lambs you are scattered all over the place, frequently entering paths leading down into the abyss …. Sometimes you scale heights where you are at risk of falling very low indeed, you also often enter unknown regions and run the danger of getting caught and killed, occasionally you let yourselves be pushed away and separated from My flock and, were I not to keep a watchful eye on you, you would be lost. But I Am the good Shepherd Who even sacrifices His life for His sheep …. I will not allow anyone …. belonging to My small flock …. to be unlawfully abducted. I will not allow the wolf to break in and rob Me of My little sheep. And if one of My sheep goes astray I will coax and call so that it will find its way back into its stable. Only a good shepherd gives his life for his sheep, and My relationship with you is truly that of a good shepherd. You are incapable of understanding My love for you because, in your present state, you are still unaware, you can only follow My call and faithfully crowd around Me, you can only recognise My love for you from My call but you cannot grasp its depth, just as a little sheep can only feel that it finds refuge with its shepherd in every danger but is unaware of how much love the shepherd feels for his flock. I Am and remain the good Shepherd, and I feed My sheep a good pasture. I will give them what they need and I don’t want anything else but that they should feel My love and join Me ever more closely, so that the enemy cannot interfere with them and cause them harm. Nevertheless, My sheep can move freely, I guide them and coax and call but I do not keep them tied on a string, they are allowed to roam freely because I do not love constraint …. I do not want to hold on to My flock with force, instead, they shall feel their shepherd’s love and desire it and therefore follow Me in complete freedom when My call rings out …. And My call will ring out time after time, I will speak to people with all kindness, I will warn and admonish them, I will always help them when they are in danger, I will take account of their every weakness and fault and give them strength …. I will truly look after My flock like a good shepherd so that none of My sheep will die …. I will constantly let My voice ring out so that all those who once left Me will come back to Me again, who followed a deceptive voice but who shall return to Me again one day, in order to remain with Me and to experience My infinite love for all eternity.

Amen

Loving activity means transformation of being ….

B.D. 6846 from June 7th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

You should all only make an effort to live a life in which unselfish neighbourly love is expressed. Then you will all still have to discard many faults, you will still have to fight against your self-love, you will have to overcome yourselves, make sacrifices and renunciations in order to help your fellow human beings in their adversity. But step by step you will reach the heights, for only a life of love will ensure your ascent. A life of love therefore also means your change of nature, the change of self-love to neighbourly love, the transformation to the former nature, it means the path to perfection. Nothing else can fulfil the same purpose, nothing else can bring you to the aim than only a life change in love. And you constantly have the opportunity to do so, for living together with people creates such opportunities for you where you can be active in serving love. (7/6/1957) Again and again you will see hardship and help your fellow human beings, you will support them through good encouragement and loving sympathy and also be able to awaken counter-love in their hearts, and again and again you will find yourselves in situations where you can prove your willingness to make sacrifices …. where you have to put self-love aside and think of your neighbour more if you want to comply with God’s will. And thereby you will ascend yourselves, for then you will fulfil your earthly task, you will change your nature into love …. This change is certainly difficult for some people and requires a strong will, yet you need only make an attempt, you need only once have the serious will to ensure that your earthly life is not lived in vain …. and it would become increasingly easier for you to put your ‘I’ aside and take care of your neighbour, for every act of love provides you with strength and strengthens your will. And soon it would no longer be a sacrifice for you but you would find your own happiness in your activity of love, because with every deed of love you come closer to God, Who is love Himself, and because you experience your approach to God as bliss. A person who is absorbed in love for his neighbour will live in quiet contentment and inner peace, he will not know any earthly desires because he will also have what he needs; the love within him will not allow any unpleasant thoughts to arise in him either, he will go through earthly life with a cheerful mind and also exude a good influence on his surroundings, for a loving person is already close to his aim because he has found unity with God through love …. Yet this is only slightly obvious to his fellow human beings, who are also supposed to carry out this change of nature without any compulsion of will. But his example, the teaching of love put into practice, will inspire far more imitation than words alone can. In earthly life it is always only about this change of nature, about shaping oneself into love, about fighting one’s own love and becoming absorbed in caring for one’s fellow human beings …. But works that lack love are not enough …. For it is not the ‘works’ that do it, but the love that must underlie the works. And a truly paradisiacal earthly life can therefore only be expected by a human race which is absorbed in love for each other. And every work of love carries its blessing within itself, it has an effect on the neighbour as well as on the person himself who gives away his love …. whereas all thinking and striving, all activity and creation is worthless if it is not based on love. And this is what people lack in the last days, what they can only ever be taught but which they must try out on themselves in order to experience the blessing of unselfish love …. Humanity is particularly addicted to selfish love, and this is synonymous with standstill or decline but can never result in ascent …. which is why love has to be preached again and again and also exemplified to fellow human beings as a good example, for without love no human being can attain perfection ….

Influencing the soul by the spirit ….

B.D. 6847 from June 8th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Your thoughts can be spiritually or earthly directed during your earthly life, and therefore the aims you reach will also be spiritual or earthly. You are now not subject to any compulsion on earth, you are completely free how you shape your inner life and which thoughts you give priority to. During your time on earth the spirit in you, which is My share, makes an effort to find a hearing with you but it does not forcibly influence the soul …. However, the body also tries to assert itself with its desires and cravings which are far more earthly directed. It, too, seeks to determine the soul and make it inclined towards its desire, and the soul …. the thinking, feeling and wanting …. must now decide. At the beginning of its embodiment it will also comply more with the body’s desire because it is still very earthly orientated itself, because its substances shall first approach spiritualization and therefore it is also influenced by the spirit. Now the spirit spark, as a part of Me, is love, and it only ever seeks to stimulate the soul into loving activity, the soul quietly feels urged to do so and can now act according to its thinking, willing and feeling. It can therefore work in love but is not forced to do so. If the body’s influence is very strong then it gains the upper hand and holds the soul back from loving activity, if the soul listens to the spirit’s quiet voice then it complies with its urging, and the consequence of this is that the spirit’s strength can now already have a stronger effect, that its voice sounds louder and can convince the soul more and more to live right and according to God’s will on earth. So spirit and body struggle for dominion over the soul …. They struggle to win the human being’s thinking, feeling and wanting for themselves, and the aim the human being strives for and achieves on earth is also in accordance with the victory. The spirit is My share …. The body is composed of still very immature substances which therefore still more or less belong to My adversary. And thus I and My adversary wrestle for the human being’s soul, which once came forth from Me as a self-aware entity but voluntarily surrendered to My adversary, but which has already largely travelled the path to Me and shall now decide anew in earthly life for the lord to Whom it wants to belong. But as soon as My spirit has already gained some influence in the human being, the connection with the eternal father-spirit has already been established, and now it is also possible for Me to constantly let My spiritual strength flow into a vessel which opens, because the soul, if it gives in to the urging of the spirit within itself, will perform deeds of love and increasingly open itself up to Me and thus always prepares itself more and more for the ‘reception of the divine spirit’ …. And now the influx of the divine spirit can also appear in an unusual way through various abilities which the human being now has at his disposal, so that then one can speak of an obvious outpouring of the spirit, as My disciples were also allowed to experience after My ascension into heaven …. For a process took place in them for the first time which only became possible through My act of salvation …. that the spirit was able to develop freely because My adversary’s power over the souls of people who wanted to belong to Me was broken, whereas previously the souls were still so burdened by original sin that they were unable to hear the voice of the spirit within themselves and at the same time their will was too weak and their thinking was darkened …. But through My act of salvation the soul became free and it was now possible for it to listen to the spirit as well as the body, and only its will had to make the right decision …. but My spirit, which is love, helps it to do so. Once the spirit has gained the upper hand in the human being, then the right aim is also guaranteed, then it will no longer be possible for the body to win the soul for itself, rather, the soul and the spirit will still influence the body to likewise comply with divine order, and then the human being will be ‘filled with spirit’ …. then he will have passed his test of will on earth, then he will be an aspirant of the kingdom which lasts forever and bestows beatitudes, then the soul will have finally detached itself from My adversary and will now belong to Me for all eternity ….

Amen

Reason for the revelations ….

B.D. 6848 from June 9th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

I want to reveal Myself to all of you who listen to Me as a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence …. My revelations require but an open heart, a ready ear that listens to My voice when I speak . . . And My revelations will always be proof of My love for you, because I speak to you like a Father to his children: admonishing, instructing, comforting and promising love …. I want to touch the hearts of you who listen to Me; I want to make you happy by speaking to you, I want to give you something that will help you progress: light and strength, which is needed by every being in order to come closer to Me. Therefore, I speak to you.

However, I also want to reveal My fundamental nature to you, I want you to recognise Me as a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence and, once you have recognised Me, also see the Father in Me and then strive towards Me as My children. If you believe in My love, wisdom and omnipotence, then you will also surrender to Me in meekness and love and relinquish every resistance that still keeps you separated from Me. And that is the reason why I reveal Myself to you …. For you all should know that your God and Creator would like to embrace you with infinite love which, however, will not abide resistance. And in order to break your resistance, I speak to you, yet I will not force you to listen to Me. Nevertheless, you shall feel My love as soon as you hear My voice, you shall be touched by a flow of energy which shall prove to you that it is I Who speaks to you, but that the flow of energy becomes instantly less effective if you continue to resist, whereas it will keep growing when you are willing to accept My Word. I want to bring a light to all of you whose spirit is still dark and prepare you such that the spheres of light will be able to receive you. Yet this is only possible if, due to your faith in Me, you decide to live a life of active love …. If, however, you are able to love Me you will also feel the inner desire to do kind-hearted deeds …. and so that you may learn to love Me, I reveal Myself to you.

You humans on earth certainly speak of a ‘God’ Whom you fear and honour as a Power at Whose mercy you are, Which can destroy or judge you …. if you still believe in it …. but you do not offer Him the love He would like to receive from you. I, however, only want to be loved, for then a far better relationship can be established than fear can bring about. I want to receive your love and constantly pursue this love; yet you will only be able to love a Being Whose perfection you recognise and of Whose love, wisdom and might you are convinced. And if I can speak to you Myself, you will soon gain the conviction that My love for you is infinite, that My wisdom is unparalleled and My might unlimited. And then you will also surrender and long to unite with Me eternally. And thus, Words of love will continue to be spoken to you which seek to enter your hearts …. And anyone who willingly receives Me shall be gladdened by My Words, and I will open the gate to beatitude for him, for with My Word I will bring him a light and as soon as it shines, all darkness will leave him, he will recognise Me as the light of eternity, he will love Me with all his heart and stay with Me forever ….

Amen

True peace only in God ….

B.D. 6849 from June 10th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

You will only find true inner peace when you have joined Me, when your thoughts and intentions are directed towards My kingdom, when you grant Me access into your hearts. I alone can give you peace, for the world does not possess it and therefore cannot give it to you either. But it is something delicious to find true peace, for it is already a part of beatitude, it makes you immensely happy and is a sign that I Myself am in you …. You must find peace in God …. As long as you stay on earth your lot will be constant battle, because you will have to deal with the one who is your enemy and adversary. And he will not let you have peace unless you are completely at his beck and call, then you will seemingly have peace but it is more like self-deception, it is not a lasting peace, you are only blindly held by the one to whom you have granted the right to rule, and you do not see the dangers which surround you and therefore do not fight against them either. But whoever is not his, whoever is not yet completely enslaved to him, his life is a battle …. partly against him and partly against himself …. But he can emerge victorious from this battle, and then there is a peace in him which is incomparably blissful …. For then he will have found Me and I Myself will grant him the peace of his soul. But then nothing will frighten him anymore, neither earthly unrest and hardship nor spiritual danger, for he knows that One is watching in his place, he knows that I will no longer leave his side and that he is safe and secure in My protection. There is peace within him, a peace which can no longer be taken away from him …. But the people of the world are not interested in this peace, because they have to give up what the world offers and because they love the world more than the ‘inner peace in God’ …. Only when they have succeeded in overcoming matter, only when their eyes and thoughts turn to another realm, only when they have found the path to Me will they also desire peace from Me, but then they will no longer be able to understand that they took pleasure in the world, the battle against the world and its dangers will delight them, and then they will also emerge victorious and now also find the peace which the world could not offer them. Therefore it is truly not a bad exchange to have surrendered the pleasures of the world for the inner peace of heart. But only the overcomer can understand this, for as long as the world still entices and desires, true inner peace still counts for nothing to people. “But I will give you the peace which the world cannot give you ….”, and what I have promised you truly has value …. It is a gift you should strive for with all diligence. For I want your soul to be made happy, but not the body, which takes pleasure in things which are not helpful to the soul …. You should find peace of mind because then I Myself can dwell within you and My nearness will only ever benefit you, because then you will know that you are safe and need no longer fear the enemy of your souls ….

Amen

Jesus Christ opens the gate to eternal life ….

B.D. 6850 from June 12th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

The gate into a life of light and glory is open to all of you who have found Jesus Christ; however, it remains closed to those who are still distant from Him and His act of Salvation. Therefore you all should seriously ask yourselves whether you have already taken the path to Him, to the cross; for His path on earth ended with His death on the cross, hence you will have to seek and find Him there, and that is where you must go if you want to participate in His act of Salvation. The goal of His life on earth was the cross, because the crucifixion was intended to bring redemption to you humans.

Thus you will find the divine Redeemer under the cross, which means that you will carry your guilt of sin, for which the human being Jesus died on the cross, to Him under the cross, that you will thereby prove your belief in His divine mission and so also reveal your will to be released from the guilt which separates you from Me, your God and Father of eternity …. In that case you acknowledge Me Myself Who accomplished the act of Salvation in the human being Jesus …. Your path must lead to the cross of Golgotha if you want to reach the gate into eternal life, for no other path leads to this gate. All of you should seriously question your attitude towards Jesus Christ …. However, with the exception of a few, you fail to do so, even if His Gospel is repeatedly proclaimed to you, even if His teaching of love is time and again presented to you and you continue to hear His name mentioned as that of the divine Redeemer …. You keep your ears closed and all Words bypass you like empty talk. You are barely touched by what you hear about Jesus Christ and His labour of love, it does not enter your hearts, it has not yet come alive in you and you have not yet spent any serious thought on what you have received so far. One day you will have to stop short at the gate to eternity, you will not find admittance, for you had not found salvation as yet because you did not take the path to the cross, His blood was unable to cleanse you and therefore you will arrive at the gate to eternity burdened by guilt. It is not enough to merely voice Jesus’ name with your mouth in order to be released from your guilt …. You must approach Him yourselves, you must hand yourselves over to Him with childlike trust and in awareness of your fault and sincerely appeal to Him that He should accept you, that He might also have shed His blood for you, and you must faithfully wait for His forgiveness …. And the weight of your guilt will fall away, clearing the path to the light and opening for you the gate into eternal beatitude …. Jesus Christ Himself will escort you into His kingdom, but without Him you will never be able to go through this gate. If only you would believe that His name is everything, that calling upon His name with profound faith will lift you out of all the adversity which is the result of the sin which still weighs you down …. This is why I descended to earth in the human being Jesus, in order to relieve you of the immense burden of sin and I died on the cross in order to redeem the great guilt which makes all of you sigh while you live on earth …. I died on your behalf …. but you must want to belong to those for Whom I have died …. Hence you must also take the path to the cross, you must make contact with Jesus Christ Who concluded His life on earth on the cross …. Then He will walk with you and guide you into His kingdom which He promised to all those who believe in Him ….

Amen

Reunion and associations in the beyond ….

B.D. 6851 from June 14th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

When souls which had been united in love on earth meet again in the spiritual kingdom they can unite and work together if they have the same degree of maturity …. otherwise one partner has to strive for the same degree which, however, will be eagerly supported by the other. And then both souls will be supremely happy to be able to create and work together, although their sphere of activity is now entirely different than on earth. The spiritual bond delights the soul far more than the earthly one, they are remarkably helpful and of service to the still unhappy beings, which are now recognised and loved as brothers by the more mature souls, and therefore everything is done to deliver them from their wretched situation. And for this reason they care especially lovingly for souls which had been close to them on earth and entered the kingdom of the beyond in a still immature state …. The already mature soul can indeed recognise its lifetime partner in the beyond, but he will be unable to see the former and often wanders about in desperate search for his loved ones ….

Especially the desire to see their loved ones again is a significant factor for attaining maturity of soul, for the desire draws the loved beings close to the soul, which then will tirelessly endeavour to bring it to the degree of maturity which will at last result in a reunion, even if it is just for a short period of time. Then it will strive ever more eagerly to reach perfection. It is, however, lamentable, if two souls, having been closely united by love on earth, enter the spiritual realm in a state of darkness …. if they so disbelief in a continuation of life that it would not occur to them wanting to see the other one again. Such souls will not meet each other and thus wander about feeling incredibly lonely. And even if they think of the one they had loved on earth, he nevertheless cannot make himself noticeable because he is wandering about like a shadow himself, unable to see or recognise other souls. Yet the souls of light are also taking care of these …. But they hardly can get through to them due to their unbelief …. They don’t accept any advice to improve their state, they are completely lethargic, and only the thought of people they once loved is keeping them alive. Yet the love which thus united two people on earth is also a blessing for them in the beyond …. because a soul of light is capable of awakening in the soul a beneficial wish for the other, and this loving thought in itself can already ignite, irrespective to which level this wish relates, but it can be unselfish and therefore provide strength. And this strength subsequently expresses itself such that the soul will listen to the light beings’ instructions, whose advice promises to be beneficial for the soul which is loved.

Immature souls still remain in the vicinity of earth, hence they merely feel separated but not as having passed away from earth, hence they try to overcome the apparently spatial separation and as a result also accept the advice of spiritual friends. And it is a great blessing if such souls are also granted intercession by people, as it will have a comforting influence on them and the gift of strength will result in a transmission of light, so that their thinking begins to become clear and realisation will gradually dawn on them. But they will never be able to experience the happiness of a reunion as long as they have not found Jesus Christ …. All efforts by the beings of light are leading towards motivating them to turn to Jesus Christ for help …. For the state of darkness is the state of the unredeemed, the state of those who have entered the kingdom of the beyond without Jesus Christ and who therefore have to find Him there first of all. Love can also prompt a soul to appeal to Jesus Christ that He might take care of its adversity; and if such an appeal on behalf of the other soul is rising up to Him, He will truly consider this love with kindness …. then these souls will be approached by loyal helpers on His instruction …. And even these souls will be allowed to experience a reunion on day, and they will praise and thank the One Who had delivered them from their hardship ….

Amen

In the beginning was the Word …. '

B.D. 6852 from June 15th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

In the beginning was the Word and the Word will exist for all eternity. The Word is the emanation of My love; it is My connection with every creation which, being conscious of its identity, desires to unite with Me …. Because only this desire, the will to hear Me, will result in a being’s ability to feel touched by the Word’s inherent strength of love. The Word provides the being with evidence of another being, Which thus speaks to it …. The Word emanated from Me when essence of being from within Myself entered into life. I gave the essence of being the ability to perceive something within itself which penetrated it as Word …. as a formulated thought …. and which demonstrated the presence of a second being wishing to communicate ….

Only the ‘created’ being needed My Word and therefore it is said ‘In the beginning was the Word’ …. I Myself exist eternally, but as long as no other spiritual being but Myself existed it was not necessary to pronounce My Word: however, I intended to speak to the created spiritual being in order to intensify its bliss. It was unable to see Me but I wanted it to hear Me, it should be able to share My thoughts, which therefore sounded as ‘Words’ within itself and which, in turn, stimulated the spiritual being itself to think, to freely use its mental capacity and its will …. because I had externalised the being to be independent, but it should also be able to stay in constant contact with Me through the exchange of thoughts, which expressed themselves through ‘the Word’. I was filled with love beyond description when I created beings in the image of Myself and the urge to impart Myself to these beings motivated Me to speak to them and tell them of My love for them. In so doing they themselves also felt the bond with the Being, Which loved them in abundance …. Thus My love flowed into these beings in the form of My Word, and they too were able to respond to My love for they were the products of My love, therefore they were ‘love’ themselves in their fundamental nature …. They could also understand and reply to My Word. They were equally capable of communicating with each other by way of the Word …. but this always consisted of the thoughts which first flowed from Me to them in form of My Word …. For the Word came forth from Me, since I Myself Am the Word of eternity …. the all-creative strength, Which is love in Itself.

And the Word will exist eternally …. I Am eternal …. The Word had a beginning but it will remain forever because My created spiritual essence cannot cease to exist. Hence I will eternally speak to and thereby delight this spiritual being, just as the strength of My love will flow to the spiritual being thereby touching and delighting it in form of My Word. I Myself Am the Word, and I give evidence of Myself to My living creations by way of the Word. They can hear Me even if they are unable to see Me, and they can feel that I Myself speak to them …. their God and Creator of eternity, Whose infinite Fatherly love expresses itself in a way which verifies a link between the Creator and the creation, between the Father and His child. And the Word will sound for all eternity because the love for the creation cannot cease, and consequently the creation will also always experience this love ….

I will always speak to My children, I will pronounce My Word throughout infinity, I will not just speak to the spiritual beings of light but I will also speak to people on earth, who know little as yet about the infinite love of the Father for His children …. In that case I will make use of a person who joins Me voluntarily and therefore serves Me as an instrument …. For all people shall know that I exist, and they shall also have proof of it in form of My Word, the outstanding divine emanation of love …. However, whether they allow themselves to be addressed by Me, whether My Word touches their hearts, is only ever the result of good will, which I do not want to gain by force …. But anyone of good will shall also recognise Me Myself in the Word, and anyone consciously allowing himself to be addressed by Me has also received My illumination of love which will never be without effect …. And blessed is he who consciously allows himself to be spoken to by Me …. For he will enter the sphere of My love voluntarily, and then My love will constantly flow to him, and he will achieve the state again when he will hear Me always and forever because he has sincerely united with Me once again ….

Amen

The father's safe guidance ….

B.D. 6853 from June 17th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

You must walk by My hand and you will truly be guided correctly through your earthly life …. A child which is ignorant of the way will go astray and no longer find its way back. And so do you humans if you remain without My guidance, for you are like underage little children whose knowledge is still weak and who therefore cannot be held responsible as yet but who have to be urged to obey so that they will not be endangered. And I likewise demand obedience from you humans as soon as you have recognized Me as your father Who well knows what serves you or can become a danger for you. And I speak to you with all love, I warn and admonish you, and you should listen to all these loving words of the father and act accordingly …. This is the obedience I demand of you, for again and again I emphasize that I require more from you, that you love Me with all your heart, because then you will enter into My will of your own accord and because I will no longer need to admonish you to obey, which you will then do for Me of your own accord, out of love. But you will remain children as long as you stay on earth, and you constantly need My protection and My guidance. And therefore you should repeatedly take hold of My fatherly hand, you should keep close to Me, you should not walk any path without Me, for I also want to be able to speak to you constantly …. I want you to listen to My words because I have wonderful things to tell you which will never come to an end …. because you shall still experience many things so that your knowledge will increase, so that you will be educated for your later activity which you will one day have to accomplish in the spiritual kingdom and which shall already begin on earth. But I also want to guide you in order to spare you perilous paths, for the enemy lurks everywhere who would like to stop your safe progress and wants you to fall …. But if you hold on to My hand then you cannot fall, and you will never be without support when an arduous ascent requires strength from you which you alone are unable to muster …. None of you shall walk alone and trust in your own strength, for you are all still weak little children who can be knocked down by the slightest onslaught. But if I walk by your side, if you walk your path by the father’s hand, then whatever may come may come, you will be able to defy every danger, every resistance, for you will receive strength from Me for this as soon as you approach Me for it. And in close unity with Me you will also entrust all your hardship and worries to Me, you will pour out your heart to Me in childlike love, for My love, which you feel, will encourage you to do so, and your father will gladly assist you and take away from you what is troubling you, for I want to win your love, for which I have been longing for eternity …. I want you to be inseparably united with Me again, as it was in the beginning. But this bond can only be established by the love I solicit until it completely belongs to Me. Your path through earthly life shall lead to complete unity with Me, and therefore I always hold My fatherly hand out to you which you shall grasp in order to be able to guide you through it towards the right aim. And you are to be called blessed if you feel weak and look for a foothold with Me, if you yourselves reach for My hand which stretches out towards you. For then you can safely take the path to the end, for your father guides you with a loving hand ….

Amen

All creations in the universe are schoolhouses ….

B.D. 6854 from June 20th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

People will rarely recognize the truth as long as they still hold on to erroneous thoughts and, as it were, always first build on erroneous thoughts and do not try to free themselves from them. Therefore every false doctrine is a good weapon of the adversary with which he also attacks the pure truth and often even wins. Once a false doctrine has taken root, it is far more difficult to uproot it, and it is easier to teach a completely ignorant person than one who has already absorbed knowledge which is, however, wrong. And there is always only one path to truth …. To approach Myself for it in full desire for truth …. Anyone who takes this path will also be able to free himself from error, for this will suddenly also appear to him as error, because I help every person to attain the truth who has approached Me for it …. Anyone who considers the whole course of development, anyone who seriously thinks about the meaning and purpose of earthly life in the first place …., anyone who considers the question of what could have motivated a wise creator to let the creations come into being and to place the human being in the midst of these creations, will also thoroughly investigate the question of his own relationship to his creator …. And he will not rest until he receives a satisfactory answer. But this can only be given to him by the creator Himself from Whom he has taken his origin. Now the human being will not be able to overlook and understand My plan of love and salvation straight away because he only has insufficient knowledge if he does not live an exemplary life of love. But he can remedy this deficiency through a life of unselfish neighbourly love …. And as soon as he has gained knowledge of My plan of love and salvation it is impossible for him to give room to an erroneous thought within himself, because then everything will be clearly evident to him which motivated Me and My creative spirit to let the whole of creation, and thus also you humans, come into being. It was love in unlimited measure Which wanted to express Itself, Which therefore created beings and brought them forth from Itself which were supremely perfect. And these beings were created in such a way that they could also work and shape according to their own will. They stood immeasurably high and fell into the depths …. likewise in free will. But they must inevitably reach the height again on which they had stood in the beginning. They fell in free will and must also ascend in free will. But I, Whose endless love created them and Whose endless love the creatures will eternally possess, constantly help these fallen beings to ascend. I will never push back a being I love and which has already worked its way up or deny it ascent because this would contradict My infinite love …. In contrast, I do everything to constantly pull it upwards but I don’t force it to do so. I leave the being its freedom, provided it has reached the stage in ego consciousness …. in contrast to the stage of its development where it ascends in the law of compulsion. In this state, therefore, it ascends according to My will, because otherwise it would eternally be unable to ascend, because it is no longer capable of doing so …. (19.6.1957) But as soon as it has regained the freedom of its will, no more coercion will be exerted on the being but it will always and constantly be helped so that it can reach the height if it wants to …. A measure of grace is poured out which is fully sufficient to reach the original state again on earth if it is used correctly. My love and mercy constantly applies to the beings which are embodied as human beings on earth because of their final test of will, and I truly do not give them scanty consideration …. I do everything that is suitable to bring them to perfection. Thus it is possible for the being to achieve this perfection. And so it is also a certain failure, an unutilisation of grace, an inner resistance, if it does not reach perfection. Then it is its own fault, the consequences of which it has to bear itself, because everything was at its disposal, because the human being carelessly passed by what was offered to him by My love and mercy …. The path before, until the embodiment as a human being, was a perpetual ascent …. the soul had already reached a high level when it was allowed to embody itself. And free will in the stage as a human being can earn it a relapse to the abyss again …. But My will will never cause a regression, I will never transfer the being back into a state which already lies behind it, which it had therefore already overcome, instead, the being created this state for itself, it voluntarily returned to where it had dwelled long before in unspeakable agony. Free will allowed this, but it could just as well turn upwards, it could strive for the most glorious aim: the complete unification with Me …. The fact that people’s free will on earth is abused far more than it is rightly judged is only the consequence of the non-recognition of Jesus Christ’s act of salvation …. The apostasy into the abyss would not be possible if the human being faithfully wanted to turn to Him for help, Who died on the cross in order to acquire strength of will for people …. And no human being will ever be able to reach perfection during his time on earth without Jesus Christ, because he is still burdened by his original sin which gives My adversary power over him. And if the soul enters the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed it will be in the same state of weakness as on earth, and it will need the divine redeemer’s help just as it did on earth in order to ascend from the abyss …. In the beyond she will also be offered help but again be left with the free will to accept or reject it. And thus it can still rise or fall even then …. But it will never be pushed up by Me or pushed down into the abyss, it will go its own way in complete freedom of will. And thus a repeated earthly progress as a human being would only be possible if it was the being‘s own will, for My will does not allow for a return to an already past state, because I truly have enough other possibilities to provide the being with progress in its development. But an immature being which has departed from earth is completely weakened in will. It also usually doesn’t know that it already dwells in the beyond, instead, it believes itself to still be on earth and only struggles with its fate because it only feels agony and unhappiness …. Yet it mainly stays close to people on earth who are of the same spirit, thus also in the same imperfection. And it seeks to express itself through those people, it transfers its thoughts to them and often impels them into actions which it wanted to do or did on earth itself …. But such a soul will never be allowed a re-embodiment on earth, even if it were its will, because for this soul a repeated course on earth would also be an increased danger of an even deeper fall and this is recognized and prevented by My love and wisdom. With increasing realization a being’s will in the beyond is also strengthened, and then it would certainly be possible for free will to make a decision itself again and strive towards an aim …. But increasing knowledge also means light …. And in this glimmer of light the soul now also sees the field of activity which awaits it, and at the same time it also sees the safe ascent to hight …. Its free will now so surely directs itself towards the aim lying before it and would never ever desire to return to earth, which now appears to the being like a dungeon imprisonment from which it has escaped and which it would never voluntarily visit again …. (6/20/1957) But in the kingdom of the beyond it will be given tasks again, it will be required to be of service which demands its full activity. In accordance with its spiritual maturity this activity now takes place in one of My infinitely many schoolhouses, which therefore means the countless creations outside of earth …. the worlds and celestial bodies which shelter all spiritual beings for the purpose of their further development. Hence these worlds also came into being out of My will of love and again and again accept new beings whose degree of maturity just corresponds to this or that heavenly body on which they can now fulfil the task given to them: to participate in the work of salvation again with serving love. The soul does not need an earthly-material outer form for this. But it is self-aware and therefore also able to recognize itself at any time and everywhere and to work on its own authority out of My strength as soon as it has become receptive to light. And then it only strives to also help those souls to receive light who still walk in darkness, which it can easily recognize. And like a nightmare it thinks back to the time on earth where it was surrounded by a heavy shell and had no freedom. Only in very special cases will the soul voluntarily decide to take another earthly journey, but then it will already be permeated by light to such an extent that it will realize what help it means for people on earth if a direct connection is created for them from the kingdom of light …. And in order to place people in the blessing of such a connection it voluntarily takes upon itself this mission which it, as a being of light, also recognizes as extremely short-term. Such a being of light can no longer descend in earthly life either, for although it dwells on earth under the same living conditions the soul nevertheless has so much strength and never breaks contact with Me and thus also continues to draw strength from Me in order to successfully complete its mission …. Thus it no longer needs to pass the test of will which is required of every still imperfect being. Once an imperfect being has left the abundant blessings flowing to it unused, it must also bear the consequences of its neglect …. It cannot expect that it will be offered the same opportunities again and again, which it can also pass by again in its blindness and in its resistance against Me. But My love and mercy will not let any being fall, and what it cannot achieve on this earth can still be granted to it in My infinitely many schoolhouses …. it can one day attain beatitude, even if after an infinitely long time ….

Amen

Pollution of air – water – food ….

B.D. 6855 from June 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Every human being may expect from you what you expect from him. You should give justice to everyone just as you demand the same from them. You should not apply different sets of standards and believe that you have greater rights than your fellow human being in those instances where you are beneficiaries of what has freely been bestowed upon you by Me …. what you have not acquired yourselves but what is at the disposal of all people equally …. meaning those spiritual and earthly riches which My love and My creative will always place at your disposal.

This includes all gifts which you receive from My hand …. which you cannot produce yourselves, which are present without your involvement and which contribute towards your continued existence …. which are necessary for your natural life and which may not be taken away from any human being if his life should not be endangered. These are the life preserving elements to which every human being is entitled and which may not be taken away from him by other people or the offence against My eternal order has far reaching consequences which not only affects the guilty people but also the creations and can even result in their termination.

You will understand this by merely asking yourselves what elements of life you require and imagine their diversity …. when you experience air and water and their composites and effect on yourselves, which give the human being complete health but which can also result in illness and destruction of the body’s organs when, due to human will, contamination of air and water occurs that causes incalculable damage …. And the sinfulness of people already shows itself in the fact that they are not afraid to pollute these particularly important life preserving elements such that it brings about life threatening damage to their fellow human beings …. And just as every human being holds his own life dear he sins when he reduces his fellow human being’s most essential necessities of life, when he plays a part in jeopardizing the life of other people …. In addition, ‘endangering life’ also includes when the soil, which produces nourishment for human and animal life, becomes deprived of its natural quality; when, by the use of artificial agents, the designated land for cultivation takes on a different quality, the products of which now also contain substances that are by no means beneficial for the human body. Human beings are interfering with natural law, what’s more, they want to improve, that is, they portray My creations as imperfect, they want to increase the soil’s yield and are using the wrong methods for that …. since they need only ask for My blessing to achieve truly blessed harvests as well ….

Another sin in this respect is the harvesting of fruit before it has ripened …. when, because of greed and materialistic thought, harvesting takes place in advance of the natural process of ripening and when, as a result, the human body is forced to fight against as yet immature substances …. which is not a merely physical but also a spiritual matter which is frequently unknown to you. But all this is integral to the disregard of My law of eternal order. The human being damages his fellow human, he does not treat him fairly and he contributes towards the steady increase of chaos on earth because only an earthly life lived within lawful order can have the right effect for body and soul.

Every human being has the right to have the order of nature upheld because I made creation for the whole of humanity and not just for one human being. Every person requires clean air, clean water and good food for his physical life and no human being is entitled to cause harm to another that he wouldn’t want to be caused to himself.

But during the last period before the end there is no more consideration for the life of other people, all kinds of unscrupulous experiments take place, and always just because of ambition, greed or hunger for power, which endangers all healthy life. Thus he who wants to destroy all living creations to release the constrained spirit within in the mistaken assumption that it will then belong to him again, is triumphant …. All people who act in opposition to divine order have handed themselves over to him, they follow his suggestions and ignore My commandments which require love and justice ….

Everyone just thinks of himself and his own advantage, and the fate of other people leaves him untouched. The life of his fellow human being is no longer sacred to him, otherwise it couldn’t come to what is to be expected with certainty: that the life of all human beings will be gambled with because the divine laws of nature will be overthrown …. because one day the elements will forcefully break through. Human beings themselves will be the cause of this because they sin against divine order, against My commandment to love God and their fellow human beings ….

Amen

Proof of a 'living God' ….

B.D. 6856 from June 24th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

A living proof of My love for you is my word which you hear within yourselves and which signifies an unusual act of grace towards you. Admittedly, this word is not recognized by all people as coming from Me Myself …. your God and father …. Yet to those who receive it directly and who willingly and desiringly accept it from them again it will always be and remain proof that their father addresses them, that His love wants to express itself to His living creations and that there is therefore a direct connection from people to their God and father …. And these will be alive in thought and action because the word has awakened them to life, because as an outpouring of a living God it is ‘life’ in itself …. Only a few people allow themselves to be directly addressed by Me, because only a few people willingly accept my word if it is offered to them …. And therefore there is no real spiritual life on earth anymore; it is rather a state of death, even if people enjoy their physical life, for the life of the soul requires an influx of strength from Me which is life-awakening and which is therefore conveyed to the soul in the form of My word. On the one hand the human being must be given the knowledge of My will and on the other hand the strength to be able to fulfil this will of Mine …. The kind of activity he should carry out during earthly life has to be explained to him, and he now also has to be enabled to do so, because knowledge alone is not enough but action should also follow …. But whoever now allows himself to be addressed by Me Myself …. be it directly or indirectly …. will be instructed correctly, and he will also receive the strength to carry out the work on himself which gives life to his soul. But as long as you humans are still in a dead state yourselves, as long as neither your faith in Me is alive nor your will desires a right life, you will not live an earthly existence according to My will, and you are in danger of leaving the earth in the same dead state as when you entered it. Therefore, again and again I seek to give you evidence of the ‘living God’ by addressing you, and I seek to stimulate your will to open your ear and heart to My address …. This can have the effect that you now listen to what I say to you without inner resistance …. that you feel the awakening of life within you, that you release yourselves from the rigidity of death, that you become active in accordance with this address of Mine …. that my word has thus found its way to your heart and that you now no longer want to miss My address …. Then you have come to life, and now you will no longer lose life either, for I Myself can now guide and instruct you through My Spirit …. You are no longer dead and powerless but you live and constantly receive strength to also prove your life. And you now also believe in Me alive, for you have drunk from the water of life, you have been refreshed and refreshed by my word because you gave ear to Me and My address. And all people would be able to obtain the evidence of a living God, because the connection between Me and people on this earth always exists and only the willingness to participate is necessary. Then my word would also be able to touch your hearts, and the strength of my word would release the rigidity of death and help the souls to come to life, and the awakening life would also recognize the one Who gave life to the dead …. Whose love will also not rest until everything dead has been brought to life ….

Amen

Admission of the spiritual work ….

B.D. 6857 from June 25th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

I do not resist the spirit in the human being, nor should you resist it if it wants to express itself, otherwise you run the risk of another speaking in and through you which can then take possession of you and completely confuse your thinking. The spirit within you is My part which only influences you in such a way that your return to Me is guaranteed if you listen to it. For the spirit from within Me continuously points you towards Me and shows you the path which leads to Me. But the opposing spirit also tries to gain influence over you but will never penetrate as long as My part of the spirit is active in you, because it cannot exist next to Me. But if you resist the spirit within you then you voluntarily open the door to the other, because you push Me away, as it were, which means the other’s taking possession of you. My spirit is always ready to give, you can constantly request clarification through My spirit …. quite simply said: You can always pray to Me for enlightenment, for My guidance, for My protection …. And you will always receive enlightenment from within, you will receive instructions, for I Myself influence you humans through My spirit …. If you unite with Me through heartfelt prayer, then you will also allow My spirit to work in you, you will hand yourselves over to Me in prayer and I will reward you for your trust …. you will think and act logically in My will, which you also feel as an expression of My spirit. And it is understandable that My adversary also makes use of all these possibilities when he gains power over you …. But you grant him this power yourselves if you live your earthly life alone, if you exclude Me, if you have no connection with Me whatsoever …. You don’t need to consciously unite with him but you are already enslaved by him because you belong to him as long as you don’t consciously want to separate from him, which requires the very bond with Me. You make an expression of the spirit impossible because the spiritual spark in you is inseparably united with Me …. thus it does nothing without Me, without My will, but which you first have to incline through conscious recognition and devotion to Me. Then a light can shine in you which is so bright that it permeates everything, that wrong thinking or wrong speaking and acting is simply no longer possible. Then My spirit’s working will be obvious, then I will have completely won you over for Me, and then My adversary will also no longer be able to intervene because he shuns the light and can only work where there is still darkness, which is why he always tries to spread and intensify the darkness. I can only ever call out to you: Do not resist the spirit in you through ungodly attitudes and sinful actions, for then you will render it ineffective yourselves and open yourselves to all evil influence. And you walk in complete blindness, in ignorance over this earth and cannot reach the light. But a spark of light slumbers in you which can become a bright fire, a light which illuminates everything and makes you unspeakably happy. Ignite it and chase the prince of darkness out of you, so that then the Eternal Light Itself can take abode in you and you will no longer need to fear darkness forever …. so that My Spirit may now work in you and fill you with light and strength and bliss ….

Amen

The earthly path of angel-beings ….

B.D. 6858 from June 26th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Being allowed to live on earth is also the wish of non-fallen beings, which indeed live in unimaginable happiness but were unable to reach the highest perfection of childship to God, which necessitates the path across earth. These beings’ wish will be granted, and they will travel their path under extremely difficult circumstances in life on earth, but generally will attain the final goal, although as human beings they don’t know their origin. They are, however, very frequently and severely tempted, and their earthly life, too, is particularly difficult and sorrowful, yet since their souls came from above they are far more willing to love and therefore also recognise the purpose of their earthly life very quickly, thus steadfastly following their goal despite their externally difficult circumstances, ill-health and all kinds of adversity. Attaining childship to God is the highest goal for the beings in the spiritual realm which, however, can only be accomplished by overcoming the abyss …. Consequently, such beings will predominantly embody themselves particularly in times of people’s spiritually low level in order to carry a ray of light into a world of profound darkness …. For wherever a person willing to love is working on earth a soft light will be shining which is soothingly touching his fellow human beings’ souls. And a being of light will always bring such a soft shining light along to earth, since love in the soul will not need not be ignited but a small flame is already glowing when it enters into earthly life.

But such people will often be treated with hostility and have to prove themselves …. hence pass the test of will as well, which this life on earth requires. For God’s adversary will tempt particularly them in the hope of bringing them to fall, which he once failed to succeed in doing. Nevertheless, the human being is not left defenceless against his power since his spiritual friends will always support him and provide him with strength, which he will at all times request from God. For a soul from above will never relinquish its bond with God, even though it is free in its will and actions. And thus in times of spiritual decline messengers of light and love will arise time and again, who openly acknowledge God and work for Him and His kingdom …. people who are permeated by His spirit and who eagerly and with conviction proclaim the divine Redeemer and consider it their task in life to lead their fellow human beings to the cross, because they understand the significance of the sacrifice on the cross and therefore also know the danger people find themselves in …. They gained this knowledge through their life of love, and therefore they can also be diligent representatives of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation.

Especially in times to greatest spiritual adversity the helpers will descend from above but without knowledge of their origin. For they, too, will have to pass the test of will, they often have to live a most difficult earthly life for the sake of their goal and on no account are they allowed to be spiritually so influenced that they are compelled in their thinking, talking and behaviour …. But they can always expect help when they need it, since they will always take the path to God, Whom they recognise as their Father and Whom they love with all their heart …. This is why their hearts are always open to receive a flow of strength from the spiritual kingdom, and reaching their goal is usually assured and only at risk if the person establishes contacts on earth which want to pull him down. The soul will not have to fear a fall into the abyss yet there is the danger that it will not achieve the highest degree of light, nevertheless it will keep its former happiness …. only that it is no longer the created angel-being which can’t help but think and act in accordance with divine will, but that it has gone through earthly life and proven its free will and its direction, so that it thus can enter into the highest spheres of light in order to be indescribably happy ….

Amen

Blessing of mental communication with God ….

B.D. 6859 from June 28th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Anyone who listens to Me when I speak to him takes the reliable path of ascent …. And I speak to all those who receive My Word, who in turn accept it from those who question Me in thought and who thus also may regard the thoughts they receive as My Words. You cannot think wrongly once you have acknowledged Me as the source of truth by directing your thoughts to Me, once you want to know the truth. Nor can you take misguided paths anymore once you appeal to Me for guidance …. But you must willingly offer Me the opportunity to speak to you, and that always happens when you mentally occupy yourselves with Me, your God and Creator, for every thought of Me calls Me to you, and I follow this call.

You should often occupy yourselves with Me in thought, because this means that your heart is receptive for My communication and because you can only ever gain by this, for then you will also constantly receive the strength to do what I ask you to do, what My communication conveys to you as My will. You have to establish the connection with Me yourselves, because you had once isolated yourselves from Me …. You need not do anything else but think of Me without a will of resistance …. I Am always willing to meet you as soon as I recognise in your thoughts the resolve to make contact with Me …. And then you are truly protected from taking misguided paths, since now that I can speak to you I have also gained influence over you. Thus it is truly not difficult for you to acquire an immeasurable amount of everlasting riches in earthly life, as this is the result of your mental bond with Me.

It is completely impossible to leave Me empty-handedly, it is completely impossible that I will not make use of such a bond and remain silent in you, for I Am only waiting for such quiet moments when you make contact with Me, when you enter into conversation with Me or approach your God and Creator with questions, and I will certainly answer you again in the form of thoughts, if I cannot speak to you directly through the inner Word. This is why every person has the opportunity and the right to communicate with Me, and every person will receive as much as he desires. Even if nothing is visibly given to the body, the soul can still receive unlimited riches for itself. I want to speak to you, and I will speak to every one of you who thus is willing to listen to Me, who wants to hear My voice …. You all should avail yourself of this assurance, you should excel yourselves and devote every free minute to Me, and you would truly use your time on earth well. Then the connection would be established ever more frequently, because you would desire Me from the bottom of your heart, Whom you now recognise as your Father and constantly wish to be spoken to by Him. And you will also gladly comply with everything, you will fulfil My will because you have already adopted My will as your own, because the constant bond with Me also results in a constant submission to My will and because you have become enlightened as to Who I Am and what kind of relationship exists between us …. Think of Me daily and hourly, never exclude Me from any undertaking, constantly let Me be present with you by mentally calling Me to you …. And you will truly not take the path through earthly life in vain, you will grow and mature and reach the goal …. You will join Me once more in order to never ever separate from Me again ….

Amen

No liberation without Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 6860 from June 29th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

You need Me if you want to be liberated from your adversary …. You cannot free yourselves from him on your own, you need help and only one can provide it: Jesus Christ, Who overcame the adversary by His death on the cross …. I Myself was in Him, and He and I are one, thus you have to request help from Me in Jesus Christ, and you will truly receive it …. If you acknowledge a God yet cannot relate this God to Jesus Christ, the divine Saviour, then your acknowledgment of God is not yet certain. Then you merely speak with your mouth, without faith in your heart, and then you walk your earthly path without Me, and you will be unable to become free from the one who opposes Me and still controls you, and whose power you cannot overcome by yourselves. Believe Me when I tell you that you need Me …. or you will not fulfil the purpose of your earthly life: the separation from the one …. whom you once followed voluntarily …. and the return to Me, your God and Father since eternity. I Am always willing to help you get away from him but you have to request this help from Me because your will determines whether I can liberate you, since the adversary has the same claim on you as long as you share his will, which amounts to renouncing Me.

However, your weakness as a fallen being is taken into account …. A human being died for you on the cross for the sake of love and mercy, Who knew of your weakness and hence also that it would be impossible for you alone to break the chains put upon you by My adversary, although it was your own fault. I embodied Myself in this human Jesus because I took pity on your weak, helpless, tormented state and because I wanted to give you the opportunity to return to Me and to your original state, which is freedom and bliss for you …. Thus I made the sacrifice of compensation on your behalf, in a manner of speaking I Myself paid for the guilt of your past apostasy from Me in the human being Jesus, and I offered My adversary the ransom for you to set you free if you ask for it yourselves …. But you also have to voice this request, you have to want to come to Me, and you have to want to belong to those whose souls I have bought back from your master ….

You have to make use of Jesus Christ’s help, you have to call to Me again in Jesus Christ, and you can certainly do so if you believe in Him, in His act of Salvation, in My human manifestation in Him …. Only then will you have certain faith in Me Myself, then I will have become alive in you, and then you will no longer walk your earthly path without Me, but then you will also surely reach your goal. And thus you only need to seriously question the purpose and objective of your earthly life and your true task …. And you should only have the sincere will not to have failed at the end of your life on this earth …. And if you have this will, then ask Jesus Christ for help, the only one Who can help you …. because He and I are one, and when you call to Him you call to Me, and your call will not go unheeded. Anyone who genuinely wants to reach the goal of his earthly life will soon have his thoughts guided into the right direction and he will realize that there is no help without Jesus Christ …. But I cannot determine the innermost desire …. that is free …. I can only ever warn and remind you again, I can stimulate your thoughts …. but you have to act in accordance with this inner desire, and such will be your state of maturity when you leave this earth ….

Amen

Evaluation of the existence on earth ….

B.D. 6861 from June 30th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Your existence on earth is too little evaluated by you humans. You take it for granted and don’t think about the purpose for which it was given to you, indeed, you sometimes rebel against the fact that you were placed into the world without your will if you don’t like the course of earthly life. And yet you have taken it upon yourselves in full knowledge, it was presented to you before your embodiment, and you have approved of your earthlessness because you see in it the possibility to finally become free of all material fetters. You are mistaken if you believe that you have to live on earth as a human being against your will, for no being is forced by Me once it has reached a certain degree of maturity that it is no longer subject to the law of compulsion. And all of you who lived on earth had that degree of maturity which only allows you to embody yourselves on earth. But you had to be deprived of the recollection of the agonizing past because otherwise you would never be able to reach the aim set for you on earth. But you should not rebel against the fate which determines your earthly change …. You should only let yourselves be convinced that your earthly progress is not pointless and always know that everything you encounter in earthly life only serves this purpose: that you mature for a life in freedom and bliss. Yet as long as you only see earthly life as an end in itself you will grumble and complain and inwardly rebel if it does not give you complete fulfilment. But you also know that you yourselves are powerless in the face of fate, and this should make you worry …. For if you rebel …. against whom is your disapproval directed? Surely you must then acknowledge a power which is stronger than you, which therefore imposed on you that which makes you indignant or dissatisfied? And if you therefore acknowledge this power, Which once gave you life and then also determined your course of life, then you would also have to grant this power that It pursues a purpose with it, and in this realization you would have to bow to It and only ask to be able to evaluate your earthly life according to this purpose, so that it is not lived in vain. But on the one hand you know about your own powerlessness and yet you do not submit yourselves to the stronger power, Which constantly proves Itself to you …. And therefore you do not make use of your life, instead you only rebel inwardly and seek to shape your life according to your will on your own authority …. You can also do this without being hindered by Me, yet as long as My love and mercy are meant for you I must also intervene and again and again make Myself known to you in My might, for this alone can result in you voluntarily submitting to Me for once, in you recognizing that earthly life is only a means to an end but not an end in itself …. And only then will you fulfil your actual task in life, you will entrust yourselves to the power you have recognized, you will voluntarily submit yourselves to It and ask for guidance and strength to successfully end the earthly path. For all people can also derive the greatest benefit for their souls from the most difficult experience, however, only if they find the right attitude towards Me, their God and creator of eternity …. if they recognize in Me their God but also their father, Who truly only wants to prepare bliss for His children and therefore applies the most diverse means so that they will reach the aim …. Then their earthly path will also always become easier because they will now cover it with Me, to Whom they are now completely devoted ….

Amen

'The table of the Lord' …. Divine Host ….

B.D. 6862 from July 1st 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Let yourselves be guided to the table of the Lord where He Himself distributes the nourishment and refreshment He has prepared for you. You are all invited to be His guests and the Host wants to make everyone happy, He wants to offer you something you will not be able to receive anywhere else …. He wants to satisfy everyone with His flesh and blood, with His Word of eternity, which is of vital importance for the soul, providing it with the strength and light that can only be offered by Him directly. All your souls are still weak, you must constantly receive the sustenance which gives you strength for your task on earth; all of you are still spiritually blind as well, you must receive light and regain your sight in order to recognise and subsequently take the right path …. All of you are needy and must be given food and drink …. The heavenly Host realises that, He is aware of your soul’s adversity, and thus His love has prepared sustaining nourishment and a refreshing and revitalizing drink …. Therefore He calls everyone to His table to enjoy what His love has in store for them. He gives Himself to those who want to take Supper with Him, for He bestows His Word upon them …. And He Himself is the Word of eternity. Hence His Words ‘Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life ….’ And furthermore He said ‘Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man …. opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me…’. He brought Himself to people, for He is the Manna That comes from Heaven, Which people shall take pleasure in so that they may enjoy eternal life. However, He Himself must offer it, that is, you must enter into direct communication with Him and receive from His hand that which shall grant you life …. It is His table you should come to, you should be His guests, don’t let yourselves be offered nourishment in places where He Himself is not welcome or where you are too distant from the Host Who invited you to come to His table. People everywhere are invited to Supper, no-one is excluded and everyone may dare to come to His table without distinction, all who need it will be fed and refreshed and all who travel the path through earthly life are in need of it. And so, truly, no-one who accepts the constantly offered invitation will need to starve and go short …. For the Host continuously sends His messengers into the world and they speak to all those who cross their path. They show them the way to a hospitable house, the path to enter the heart, which need only open its door in order to let the One in Who wants to distribute delicious food and refreshing beverage. And they may all receive without limit, for alone the will of being allowed to be His guest is enough for the Host to take special care of him and to give him what his soul requires. And once the soul has allowed itself to be fed at the table of the Lord it will no longer be satisfied with other food, time and again it will return to Him and always accept the bread of heaven from His hand. It will receive the Word of God directly from the One Who is the Word of eternity and Who gives Himself away to anyone who desires Him and His Word ….

Amen

The disciples were also taught by God ….

B.D. 6863 from July 2nd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

I Myself want to teach you and proclaim the gospel of love to you again, as I did on earth. My disciples, too, had to receive this gospel in the same way as I now impart it to you, they, too, had to listen inwardly to what I spoke to them, and after My earthly death they had to let My spirit speak to them, which told them the same as I Myself did during My life on earth. My disciples, too, were previously ignorant of it, and I imparted to them a knowledge which was completely unknown to them, but the basis for receiving such knowledge was present in them …. And thus I can now only speak directly to those who can also demonstrate the necessary prerequisites …. which enable the working of My spirit within themselves through a life of love, through complete devotion to Me and complete submission to My will. For only these are able to hear the subtle voice within themselves which gives them knowledge of My will again, of the divine teaching of love, which is the epitome of the gospel which shall be proclaimed to you humans. And it makes Me Myself happy to be able to introduce you to knowledge which shall reveal My love, wisdom and omnipotence to you …. You shall learn about My plan of salvation, about My infinite love for you and about the aim you can reach if you accept the gospel of love and make an effort to live accordingly. I also want to make you happy with this knowledge which, however, will only come alive for you when these prerequisites are present: a life of love …. a fulfilment of My commandments of love for God and neighbour …. For only then does that knowledge signify ‘realization‘ …. whereas otherwise it can certainly also come to you but remains dead knowledge which does not result in progress for your souls. But if I Myself can instruct you, if I can speak to you directly, then these prerequisites will also be there, then you will be able to understand everything like My first disciples and also pass it on, because My spirit will enlighten you so that your thinking will be right and you need not fear any erroneous thoughts. And I truly take pleasure in being able to guide the truth to earth, for truth is My nature, and people who are still subject to the prince of darkness mostly live in a world of lies and error …. If I can now bring light into this world I can oust him from his territory, I can gather people around the light which emanates from Me, I can give them the truth and thereby chase My adversary away, I can invalidate his activity, for the truth will make him and his activity recognizable and he will lose his following because the truth will also drive him towards Me Myself, Who is the eternal truth. I have promised you the ‘comforter’, the ‘spirit of truth’, who will guide you into all truth …. and I also let My promises come true …. But I set conditions for this which you now also have to fulfil because I do not unlawfully invade a territory which belongs to My adversary …. But if you fulfil these conditions you thereby also prove your will to detach yourselves from My adversary’s territory, and then I can come to you and in the form of My word …. through the working of My spirit …. bring you light and freedom. So then I can teach you like My first disciples …. I can give you the proof that I still dwell amongst you just as I did at the time of My life on earth. I can speak to you and you will hear Me, I can let you gain insight into My reign and activity, into My plan of salvation which only aims at your perfection; I can make you see who previously walked blindly through earthly life …. I can guide you into all truth, as I have promised, for my word is and remains eternal truth, and every promise comes true ….

Amen

Earth is a place of perdition …. Devils ….

B.D. 6864 from July 3rd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

The opposing prince will deploy all of his vassals in order to gain victory in the last battle on this earth and in their darkness these beings believe that they will win. Admittedly, he will be very successful with people on this earth the closer the Judgment comes, the last day of this earth …. Yet the apparent victory will be his assured loss, because those he believes himself to have won will be removed from his influence and banished into matter again in order to advance once more. And many of his vassals will also be banished into the hard form, since they will have descended so low that their spiritual substance solidifies, and thus the being forfeits its self-awareness again and, dissolved into individual tiny particles, must repeat the process across the earth again. Many of these lower beings will be incarnated on earth in the last days, and God allowed this to happen for they, too, should still have the opportunity to find redemption during their life on earth as a human being …. Yet with few exceptions these beings only use the opportunity to influence their fellow human beings in a negative sense, thus they admit openly and freely their affiliation to God’s adversary, therefore they can also expect to suffer the same fate as he …. to be bound again for an infinitely long time. Such a being could truly find redemption, because it receives the knowledge of Jesus Christ on earth and would only have to surrender to Him to liberate itself from its present lord …. But in their heart of hearts they are wicked and wholly satanically minded …. And thus the opposing prince works with them and this truly successfully, insofar as he makes many people’s return to God more difficult since their influence is far greater than that of the beings’ of light which, on God’s instructions, are likewise constantly working on earth, directly or indirectly. In view of the conditions in the last days many beings of light are also embodied on earth. This is because both masters fight for people’s soul and both masters will also use all means at their disposal to gain influence over the souls ….

And thus the time of the end comes ever closer, and you humans will be put under ever increasing pressure by the adverse power, the activity of satanic forces will surface ever more obviously, and calm and peace can only be found rarely amongst people, for even those who look for peace will be unable to protect themselves from the influence of these forces …. However, they should not let themselves get carried away; they should humbly endure everything and only ever call upon God for His support …. They should entrust themselves to all good spirits to settle seemingly inevitable arguments, for these are the adversary’s weapon to incite people against each other, to disrupt the peace. And he finds many people following suit, who through their conduct demonstrate that they belong to him, who do not resist being taken possession of by satanic forces and who then will also readily accomplish what the latter demand of them. And these will be atrocities which can only be hatched out in hell, so that true devils will inhabit the earth in the end and there will be no more space for the few good people who are faithful and loyal to God. Earth will have become a place of perdition and therefore will have to be cleansed again from this spawn of hell …. For it shall serve as a place to mature for the spiritual beings which are close to attaining perfection, and this is almost no longer possible anymore. Hence a forcible act of purification will have to take place, and that which the adversary believes himself to have gained will be removed from his control …. new creations will accept the spirits and the adversary along with his followers will be bound again …. And peace will reign on the new earth, which will truly arise as a paradise for all those who remained loyal to God ….

Amen

Activity of love …. law on earth and in the hereafter ….

B.D. 6865 from July 4th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

The same law applies to every human being on earth and every being in the spiritual kingdom: to be active in love. On earth the activity of love helps to achieve perfection and must therefore also be practiced by the still imperfect beings in the kingdom of the beyond so that they progress on the path to ascent. And once the height has been reached, once the being has reached perfection to such an extent that it is now receptive to light, then steadfast activity of love will make this being happy again, because this now means ‘passing on the light’ which it receives itself …. because steadfast activity of love is divine working, thus fulfilling the law of eternity. For love is everything …. It guarantees union with God and eternal bliss, redemption of the still imperfect spiritual, preservation of all existing and also the emergence of constantly new creations, which have their foundation in divine order and His greater than great love. Love is the power that is constantly active in the entire universe, in the earthly and in the spiritual realm. It is the divine law itself, and a violation of it is also irrevocably an act of destruction which not only affects earthly creations but also becomes recognizable in spiritual states to the one to whom this law is sacred. Therefore it cannot remain concealed in the spiritual kingdom if the beings have violated the law of love, for they themselves, which were beings of most perfect beauty in the beginning, have become deformed, disgusting beings and as such are also recognizable to the beings of light, which, however, do not turn away from them in disgust but in merciful love want to help them back to their former form, which corresponds to the law of divine order. Without love there is no order, no harmony, no peace, without love there is no bliss …. and all states which a being feels to be deficient or tormenting are evidence that the being lacks love, that it has stepped out of divine order. And all these conditions will not change until the being itself has changed to love. But this is not to be understood as a person’s external appearance on earth, which lacks perfect beauty, indeed often shows deformities which give rise to questions and doubts …. For such an external form can conceal a well-designed soul which has voluntarily taken on such an external form (for the sake of its certain perfection). And deformed souls can also dwell in outwardly perfected people, for it is merely a matter of the spiritual being, which therefore has to place itself under the law of divine order in order to be blissfully happy. For a life of love only creates spiritual values, for earthly things pass away but works of love follow the human being into eternity. If people on earth could already see spiritually then the effect of the activity of love on the souls would also be apparent to them, and they would only ever gaze in amazement at the perfected beauties which walk amongst them. Such evidence, however, cannot be given to people who, in all freedom, have to fit into the law of divine order …. And likewise, their spiritual friends and helpers can only approach the unfinished souls in the beyond in a veiled way, and in all freedom of will they have to follow their advice, which only ever amounts to activity in love. But they cannot be released from this law, from its fulfilment …. Love must also break through in them, otherwise they will eternally be unable to attain beatitude. For only love cancels the separation from God, only love brings about the union with Him …. And only love returns the being to the state of perfection in which it once emerged from God’s hand ….

Amen

Recognizing and acknowledging a creator power ….

B.D. 6866 from July 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 73

The human being is mostly unaware of the purpose and aim of his earthly existence, for as soon as he does not sincerely believe what he has been taught about it, these teachings are also irrelevant to him. And therefore he will only ever follow earthly events and his own fateful course of life and be more or less satisfied with it, yet only ever with regard to earthly effects and his own state or situation in life. And only one question will ever remain for that person, which he will not be able to answer for himself. Then he will also walk along in a state of inner indifference or inner resentment but he will never find full satisfaction in his earthly existence, which seems pointless to him. A veil hangs before his eyes …. If he can lift this veil he will see a radiant terrain which appeals to him and frees him from his indifference towards earthly life. For now he recognizes his aim and strives towards it …. But it is difficult to open the eyes of those people so that they can behold something hitherto unknown to them …. But a person will never again be able to close his eyes once he has glimpsed an area where there is light and warmth, where he was made happy by knowledge, where hitherto unanswered questions answered themselves, where the truth shines towards him and gives him complete enlightenment and satisfaction. And therefore no man should think himself knowledgeable who does not feel inner peace and inner happiness, for he has not yet looked into that radiant terrain. Before his eyes is still the veil which darkens everything, which covers everything, although earthly knowledge fills the human being but which never gives the feeling of that inner contentment because it is transient. Only the right direction clarifies man’s thinking, and the right direction consists in wanting to fathom those areas which remain closed to the intellectual researcher. But they can be opened up …. And that is what people doubt …. that it is possible to get behind the secrets of the eternal creative spirit, that this creative spirit Himself is willing to reveal them to the one who seriously desires enlightenment. He who seeks and finds fullest satisfaction in the world does not desire to know what is hidden from him …. But anyone who is left unsatisfied by the world should turn his attention to unsolved problems, he should think further, earthly knowledge alone should not satisfy him, he should look for a connection between himself as a created being and the eternal creator-spirit, no matter how he imagines it. He should also recognize and admit this connection because he himself is powerless in the face of fate …. And he should also consciously seek to enter into contact with the creative spirit of eternity …. with the power which he can recognize above himself and thus should also acknowledge. Then he will already enter an area which was previously unknown to him, for that power will reveal Itself to him …. Whether you humans want to believe it or not …. you have the possibility to cause this supreme power to reveal Itself only through your will alone …. You can desire and also receive an immeasurable amount from It, for It does not deny Itself to you because you are Its creatures and …. even if standing in isolation …. are and remain indissolubly connected with It. The concept of God does not yet need to be completely clarified for you if only you bow to the omnipotent creator power, Whom you cannot deny …. And your thoughts will now go completely different ways, waves of thoughts will be received without resistance, which will circle around you and give you ever new enlightenment because they flow towards you from that power to which you bow, with which you desire to be connected. You will not remain without an answer if you ask questions in this contact, yet you must sharpen your spiritual ear in order to hear the subtle voice which answers you …. i.e., you must now wait in truly serious desire for the thoughts which now come to you, for these are the expressions of that omnipotent power Which wants to reveal Itself to the earnestly desiring person …. No thinking person will be able to deny this power, no matter what he calls it …. but it exists, and man himself is its product …. a being which is capable of thinking and has a will of its own. And thus the creative spirit must also be granted thinking ability and will, the characteristics of an entity in highest perfection. Only this realization should suffice to entrust oneself to this power, to request information from It about the meaning and purpose of earthly life and to express to It the willingness to strive towards the actual aim …. And then the human being, recognizing his own weakness and shortcomings, will also appeal to this power for support, for strength and light to be able to successfully cover the path of life …. And his request will not be in vain ….

Amen
