My love and mercy also turn to those people who still think in a completely material way, who walk their earthly path without any spiritual bond …. who only evaluate what is visible and tangible to them and unhesitatingly reject everything that cannot be proven. These people need not be exactly bad, they can lead a righteous way of life but they reject all spiritual influx, which means as much as that they always remain on the same level, that they walk a level path and at the end of their earthly life cannot record any spiritual progress and the whole earthly course was, as it were, in vain for the soul …. for what remains after the death of the body. Hence the soul need not have developed retrogressively and yet it has no success to chalk up …. It enters the kingdom of the beyond in the same state of maturity in which it started its earthly life, and even there an ascent will be difficult for such souls because their will to reject all instruction is still as strong as on earth. Moreover, its thoughts are also confused, it knows nothing of its physical death, and thus it can rarely only be brought to a different way of thinking through the instruction of spiritual friends, because the views the human being possessed on earth also caused it to become arrogant. I would like to come to their aid while they are still on earth …. I would like to give their thought structure a nasty jolt, I would like to let them look into a light, I would just once like to make them also reckon with the possibility of a spiritual world …. I want to offer them every assistance in stepping from the flat path, which is aimless, onto that path which leads upwards …. I only want to make them realize the worthlessness of all material goods once, so that they seriously consider the purpose and aim of their existence on earth. For especially these people are difficult to guide because everything spiritual, every belief in another world, in a continuation of the soul, only appears to them as a sign of naivety of their fellow human beings, from which they themselves want to be and remain free. And these people are therefore particularly sensitively affected by strokes of fate; the transience of the earthly is so often brought home to them, yet only rarely with success. But the abundance of such events, which will also increase, shall become understandable to you if you also remember the large number of those who have precisely this unspiritual view of life …. And if I only win a few of them, if only a few allow themselves to be addressed by Me through such strokes of fate, if their direction of vision now changes and they let go of their previous thinking …. then I will have achieved much, and the strokes of fate were a blessing …. For until the end of every person’s life I wrestle for his soul in order to spare it the infinitely long time in the kingdom of the beyond where it is lightless and all efforts made on such souls remain fruitless. What the human being achieves on earth signifies a considerable head start which the soul can no longer catch up with in the beyond. And since precisely these people are in the majority on earth it is understandable that I have to resort to ever stronger means which you …. who are devout …. will not be able to explain to you as being based on My love. But you don’t know about the hardship of those souls, which can last an infinitely long time …. you don’t know how valuable one day on earth is when you consciously strive towards the aim …. and how many days are thus lived completely uselessly by those whom I also want to win for Me and My kingdom. And the most painful event can be regarded as the greatest grace if it causes a person to consciously strive towards the aim …. For the earth will pass away and nothing will remain for the person who has only ever lived his earthly life. But the spiritual kingdom will remain, only it can become a tormenting abode for the soul for eternity if it closes itself when its light is brought ….

Amen

All blessings have to come from God Himself in order to take effect. A human being’s blessing will only ever be a ‘blessing’ for another person when God is called upon, that is to say when this blessing is given in His name. And therefore you humans may also contact Him yourselves if you want to receive His blessing because your plea that God should sanction your planned action will also gain you His caring help in every situation of life. God has indeed chosen His servants on earth who shall impart on His behalf the gift He Himself wants to give to people …. who speak to people on His behalf since He cannot speak to them Himself due to their freedom of will. And His representatives are also able to implore God to bless his fellow human being, to direct the results of his actions such that they will benefit the person. But this is entirely under God’s control, hence only God alone can give His blessing and the human being can only do so on His behalf, with other words in the name of God. This is why every human being is also able to request God’s blessing for his undertaking without those whose office makes them feel entitled to give blessings. Because much of it is a mere formality, and the inner state of mind is not greatly observed anymore. A person with an inner connection to God will no longer do anything without first having prayed for God’s blessing, and God’s blessing will also be assured to him ….

However, the conferring of blessings which has become a formality, which is mechanically carried out, which is tied to customs, will always just remain a formality and have little effect on people, or many things which will never correspond to God’s will would have to find God’s approval. For instance, formal marriage ceremonies are also blessed, for which God would not give His approval and which He would prevent if He did not observe the free will of people. Marriages take place for worldly, materialistic reasons which do not deserve the description of ‘marriage’ …. Unions are entered into which do not show the prerequisites required for a good marriage before God …. However, the blessing of the church is not denied to such unions, but whether God Himself will bless such a marriage remains to be seen …. even though an ecclesiastical blessing need not always be ineffective, when both the person conferring the blessing as well as the recipient have established sincere contact with God, thus when God Himself is petitioned for His blessing by all participants. Hence only this sincere contact with God is decisive as it proves the human being’s willingness to be blessed by Him. God will always be ready to direct everything for the benefit of a person’s soul, and He will also know how to direct worldly events such that they result in a blessing for him, if the person prays for God’s blessing himself.

But people’s entirely unblessed beginnings will not result in much benefit, just as the purely formal blessing cannot be considered a divine privilege, a ‘blessing of God’. Only what is prayed for spiritually and in truth and carried out can be of value …. that is why every heartfelt prayer for God’s blessing will be granted because it is God’s will that the person should enter into heartfelt union with Him and his blessing will only evolve from this bond ….

Amen

You are lacking light and strength because you are still imperfect. However, without light and strength you will not attain perfection either and would hopelessly have fallen prey to a wretched state were you not granted help and first given light and strength, which subsequently enables you to reach the state of perfection. Hence, at the beginning of your life on earth you are oblivious of the correlations, of the meaning of your earthly life and your task, you are completely without knowledge …. you are lacking light …. And if this is brought to you by way of being instructed of your earthly task then you, on the other hand, lack the strength to attain your spiritual perfection as long as you don’t acquire the strength for yourselves, which can only ever happen through kind-hearted activity. And for the acquisition of this strength …. thus for being lovingly active …. you usually lack the will, because your imperfect state also signifies an exceedingly weakened will …. So this is how you are at the beginning of your earthly life which was only given to you to shape your imperfect nature into becoming perfect. Your life on earth would therefore be incredibly hopeless had God’s love not granted you something to help you attain perfection again: He placed a minutely small spark of His infinite spirit of love into you …. This tiny spark of love is His share, it is inseparably united with Him, it is spirit from His spirit, light from His eternal essence of light and strength at the same time …. This tiny spark is capable of achieving a change in you so that all imperfection will fade away and enable you to leave this earth as radiant beings of light. But this requires you to kindle this tiny spark yourselves, that you provide it with nourishment so that it can spread out …. it requires you to allow the divine spirit of love to impel you into activity of love, for that is its task, it is God’s help that this spiritual spark constantly tries to influence you from within to do works of love …. because ‘love’ equals ‘light and strength’, because ignorance and lack of strength fade away as a result of activity of love …. because love is the only mean to become as perfect again as the being was at the start. Without this spark of love no-one would reach this goal in earthly life, for the being had once completely rejected all of God’s illumination of love of its own free will and was no longer able to love correctly, which is its legacy of the one who was the first to renounce God’s love ….

Thus the human being is this once-fallen being which believed itself capable of existing without divine illumination of love …. Admittedly, it could no longer perish again but the state of a fallen being became a completely different one than as it was originally created …. For only love is the invigorating strength which enables the being to be blissfully active, without love the being is dead and in spiritual darkness and therefore must also feel tremendously wretched. Yet despite having formerly rejected His love God placed this minutely small spark of love into every human heart and so established contact between Himself and the person, which, however, must also be utilised by the person, because even this spark of love, the part of the divine spirit, does not coerce the human being’s will. Nevertheless, with gentle urges it tries to influence this will to practice love, which then can ignite a flame in the person’s heart spreading light and at the same time providing the person with strength to change his nature. Therefore it is possible for every human being to obtain light and strength for himself in earthly life, but since free will must not be excluded God’s spirit of love remains in the background and does not compel a person into activity which causes his perfection …. on account of which countless people fail to make use of the great gift of grace and thus remain in darkness and weakness from which only activity of love can release the soul ….

Amen

First take care of the establishment of order within yourselves, then you will also experience a wonderful solution to all other problems, then the divine order and lawfulness will reveal themselves to you, you will not need to research but will see everything brightly and clearly …. be it works of creation or laws of nature which give you cause for research and experimentation of every kind. Only the order within you is a guarantee for right thinking, right cognition and truthful results of your intellectual thinking. If this order has not yet been established in yourselves, then you can experiment as much as you like …. you calculate wrongly …. and a wrong calculation results in error. Let it be said to you that you, as human beings, cannot research natural laws as long as you yourselves are still outside the law of eternal order …. For as long as you do so you will be in communion with God’s adversary who is never interested in giving you light but always wants to confuse your thinking more. His aim is to distract people from their actual earthly task. His aim is also to reveal the problems of creation to them differently in order to destroy the belief in a God and creator. And all those who try to solve the secrets of creation and are not firmly and intimately united with God can only draw wrong conclusions because they are influenced by the adversary due to their own unbelief. On the other hand, the opponent’s power does not exceed the power of God …. But everything proves the nearness of the end of this earth, for people not only seek to make the earth but also the universe subservient to them, and therefore the answer will also come from the universe. You humans will still experience much because all the forces of hell are at work in this last time, and what you consider impossible will be possible through their influence. But nothing will be a blessing for you because it is not God’s spirit but the spirit of the adversary which instigates people to try to prove their power and strength. In no way will spiritual development be promoted, in no way will the divine order be established, which has been overturned by humanity, which lives devoid of all love …. In no way does humanity seek to attain peace, hatred and imperiousness alone determine people’s actions, and everyone seeks to outdo the other, but never in working with love but only in emphasising power and knowledge …. And every thought, every striving is only meant for earthly aims. And thus people live outside of divine order, and therefore they can never accomplish or achieve anything which is in line with divine order. But they overestimate their own strength. Although God allows His adversary to express himself in a way that seems to cancel out His creative principle …. there are limits to Him and His activity and thus also to the people who are under His influence. And human creations do not last, for their original substance is not strength of love emanating from God but strength gathered and wrongly directed by God’s adversary through people’s will …. or also misused natural strength which …. could be a blessing to humanity if used correctly. But right application can never be spoken of where divine order is not first observed …. where spiritual development suffers damage, where God and His rule and activity are not acknowledged, where God’s adversary visibly drives his nature and people are willing servants to him. For divine-spiritual striving cannot be concealed, it becomes evident, just as the working of the opposing spirit can be recognized ….

Amen

You have been allowed to take possession of the earth in order to mature on it during your short earthly lifetime. You can subdue it as far as this corresponds to your degree of maturity, and you can make it serviceable to you, for everything serves you for the preservation of your life if you use it properly and integrate yourselves into the law of eternal order. Earth has been assigned to your soul as a place of residence for the purpose of maturing, and full of gratitude you should only make use of this gift of grace, for having to walk the earthly path is not easy but it offers the greatest possibility of success, and the human being can leave it as a true child of God, for which only earth thus offers him the opportunity. But this great grace is not valued …. In their delusion people believe that life on this earth alone is the purpose of their existence, and they also arrange their lives according to this opinion. They truly proclaim themselves rulers of this earth, yet not in the sense that God has given them the right to do so, but only with a view to earthly success, to increasing their material goods and taking possession of all things which are common property but which are illegally appropriated by individuals. And this attitude of people leads so far that they soon no longer allow themselves to be satisfied with the domination of this earth, that they climb into an area outside the work of creation which was assigned to them by God …. But the creator of heaven and earth also foresaw this procedure from the very beginning. He built His plan of salvation on people’s free will, on the direction of their will, and this plan of salvation will always be carried out when people’s will gives cause for it. Thus, as soon as human souls are in serious danger of completely forgetting their purpose of earthly life, when it is no longer possible to speak of a development or a maturing of the souls at all, then the purpose of earth will also have been missed and God will end one epoch of salvation in order to start a new one under different conditions. People are increasingly distancing themselves from their actual aim, they draw up plans and work overzealously on their implementation which have nothing whatsoever to do with the development of the soul, and this attitude reveals one thing in particular: that the ruling principle is becoming increasingly more widespread …. thus also that God’s adversary is visibly at work and that people are all too obedient servants to him. For what people are striving for in the last days is by no means aimed at a return to God, at the transformation of their being. It is merely earthly-materially oriented; the search for power and strength, for honour and fame and a prominent position is all too evident, and all this testifies to the influence of the one who, as God’s ‘adversary’, also wants to hold people back from their actual earthly task and who therefore tries to direct their eyes towards anti-divine intentions. But God does not prevent people …. But He foresaw this, and He puts an end to the redemption period in the knowledge that the earth no longer fulfils its purpose. People will still provide incredible evidence of their wrong thinking and striving and boast of their successes …. but they will not be allowed to enjoy them for long …. The adversary has great power in the last days, and he also needs it extensively, but people need not fall prey to him, for they also have an abundance of grace at their disposal so that they could free themselves from him and his power. Yet people themselves misjudge their purpose of earthly life, people themselves like to be dazzled, and therefore they also have to bear the consequences when the end has come ….

Amen

Fight the battle with all zeal against error and lies …. Know that I have chosen you to be My fighters, to whom I give the task to fight with the sword of the mouth for Me and My kingdom. I don’t want you humans to go against each other and inflict bodily harm on each other, I don’t want the strong to abuse his strength against the weak, I don’t want a battle for the sake of earthly possessions, but you shall wage one battle which is just: the battle against untruth, against false doctrines, as long as they concern Me Myself and My kingdom, which is not of this world. For misguided teachings prevent people from feeling love for Me, and misguided teachings have led many souls to My adversary …. But the misguided teachings also originated from the adversary, and therefore you should fight them if you want to serve Me. Wherever you recognize that people’s thinking is wrongly guided you should be active in enlightening them and oppose the truth to the teachings which are advocated by them. For only truth is able to give light, only truth can promote the soul’s development, whereas untruth causes the soul’s cover to become increasingly denser and the human being lives in darkness, in ignorance and wrongly guided thoughts. I guide the pure truth to earth …. You who receive it should pass it on and not be afraid to cause offence. But you will have to fight, for My adversary will fight you, he will also oppose you with his fighters, but you should and can withstand them because your weapon is sharp, because your weapon is truth which no-one is able to refute as soon as you speak in My name and thereby give Me the opportunity to speak through you Myself …. And truly, no-one will be able to ward off My blade, it will strike and incapacitate the adversary. And especially in the last days so many opinions will come to light, many will believe themselves called to stand up for the truth and yet eagerly advocate lies and error, because this is the adversary’s cunning to feign divine activity where human work is unmistakable …. And because they neglected to take the path to Me directly with questions which were also raised in them in the beginning, which certainly would have been answered truthfully by Me. And thus they will now prove to be opponents to you, they will attack the pure truth from Me and seek to invalidate it in the influence of the one who is an enemy of truth …. And then your counterattack will be necessary, then you should only quietly appeal for My help and you can take up the battle without worry and you will emerge victorious. My word truly has great strength, and if you let Me Myself speak through you, you will certainly wield a good blade and the adversary will have to retreat in a weakened state …. The truth will be victorious …. therefore don’t be fearfully silent where speaking is appropriate but fight with the sword of the mouth, because I Myself instruct you to do so in realization of the great spiritual misery which is the result of error and lies. Only truth can banish this misery, only truth brings light to people. And they must walk in the light if they want to take the right path which leads to the aim but which can never be found in the darkness of night ….

Amen

It is a blessed beginning to want to bring help to the souls in their distress, and therefore it will never remain without success, even if it is not immediately recognizable. Anyone who is only able to address a soul once will also remember it, even if it only comes to mind later. But since its will has to be respected at all times, many a soul needs a longer time before it comes to its own senses, and it can also depart from earth without having made use of the gift of grace it was offered on earth. But even then it can still remember your words because they are spiritual possessions which are everlasting and which can therefore still have an effect on the soul in the kingdom of the beyond, always providing it is not in hard resistance and thus completely darkened in spirit. Therefore you should never believe that your efforts are completely unsuccessful …. You don’t know about the strength of the word which originated from Me and which never loses its effect once the resistance has been abandoned …. Therefore it is first necessary to break that resistance of a soul which prevents the effect of My word’s strength …. Thus My word must once be offered to a person on earth with love, because love can break the person’s resistance …. And on the other hand loving intercession must be offered to the souls in the beyond which is also able to break their former resistance …. But then they will also experience the effect of My word’s strength, then it will suddenly resound in them again, just as you offered it to them on earth, and then it will be gladly and gratefully received and become understandable to them …. You can therefore scatter much seed which will one day also come up, even if your effort now seems futile to you …. My word is not lost once it has flowed out of Me and found its way to a heart …. It can rest in stony ground for an infinitely long time in order to take root one day, however unbelievable this may sound to you, but it is emanated strength of love from Me which never loses its effect, it only pauses in its effectiveness where it encounters resistance. But since one day every being will give up resistance, the time will certainly come when the word conveyed to it by Me will start to have an effect. And when a soul awakens to life in the beyond, i.e. when it gives up its resistance and follows the instructions and advice of its spiritual friends, then everything it was offered on earth in terms of spiritual nourishment, which was conveyed to it by Me Myself through My servants, will also arise in it. Then it starts to become bright in her, and then she also recognizes her great guilt of having spurned the word, for she realizes that she was able to achieve far more on earth, and the word itself, which she once rejected, judges her …. Her remorse is great and yet she can escape the wretched state and now also ascend, although she can never ever reach the aim again which was possible for her on earth. What has taken its origin from Me can eternally no longer pass away …. But the effect of it is bound to the time of giving up resistance …. it can soon become effective and help the soul to unexpected beatitude, but it can also take endless times until its effectiveness is permitted, but it will not be lost. And this knowledge shall spur you, My servants, into eager activity. You should scatter the seed at your disposal everywhere, you should carry My word wherever an opportunity presents itself …. You should only pass by the servants of satan because then you would be working in vain, for their effort is to oppose Me. They are in open battle against Me, and they will also attack and hostile you, which is why you should turn away from those who obviously belong to My adversary. Yet you will recognize them, for they do not hide their faces when it is a matter of taking action against the light which shines down to earth from above ….

Amen

You had distanced yourselves from Me infinitely far, and therefore your path back to Me is also infinitely long. For you have to walk the path upwards again exactly as you had undertaken it downwards, you have to develop yourselves upwards again step by step, just as you once regressed in free will. And this requires the maintenance of a plan of salvation, it requires a re-insertion into the eternal order from which you had stepped out through your fall. To put it simply: love was your original nature …. you changed it into unkindness and now have to accomplish the transformation into love again, which therefore took an infinitely long time because you no longer had the strength for this transformation …. When you know this you also become aware of the immense significance of your earthly life as a human being in which you have a measure of strength at your disposal again compared to the infinitely long time before when you lacked this strength. This vitality enables you to change your nature if you use it correctly, but you can also misuse it, you can use it in the wrong way, and then you will have left the great and last opportunity to return to Me unused. Thus, in earthly life you can easily accomplish the change back to your original being again, because you only need to use your vitality to work in love …. Then you will cover the last short distance step by step and return home to Me, to your father’s house. This is the purpose and aim of My plan of salvation of love, to be able to give you the bliss again which you were allowed to enjoy in the beginning. But due to your fall into the abyss you have lost all knowledge of this …. and even if it is conveyed to you, you lack the evidence, and therefore you don’t take it seriously and don’t strive towards the aim of your earthly life. But only the approach to Me will restore your bliss, whereas the distance from Me is and remains an unhappy state for you. And thus you should only ask yourselves whether you are blissfully happy …. And you should answer this question truthfully …. you should ask yourselves whether ‘blessedness’ means the goods that the world offers you …. whether they make you happy without desire …. whether you can force them upon yourselves and whether they last and give you lasting happiness? If you are honest, you must answer all these questions in the negative, even if you temporarily believe that you can create your own joys and pleasures. But you know that what you love can be taken from you daily and hourly, that there is no guarantee that you will be allowed to possess the world’s goods and pleasures permanently …. You know that the goods you strive for and which make you happy are only pseudo goods and that you cannot speak of eternal bliss …. But precisely this beatitude shall be your aim, for I want to give it to you when you have returned to Me again after this infinitely long time of distance from Me. And thus these serious questions should prompt you to make the right use of your vitality, which is an unheard-of gift of grace from Me because you once rejected it. How rich this vitality can make you, how easy it could be for you to carry out works of love, precisely because you have vitality at your disposal …. Yet you also have free will at your disposal in earthly life as a human being, and this therefore determines whether you ascend or fall back into the abyss. And even if My love provides you with abundant grace, even if I create all possibilities for you and show you the path which leads back to Me …. I do not force your will because otherwise you would never be able to reach perfection. I merely continue to make you aware of the great responsibility earthly life as a human being means for you. And I will not let up informing you of what you were, what you are and what you should become again …. And if you can also believe this without proof, then you will also live responsibly on earth, then you will increasingly try to reduce the distance between us, and I will help you as soon as you yourselves want to return home to your father’s house ….

Amen

Anyone who closes his door and denies Me entrance will have to live in want, for only I can provide him with what his soul needs. You humans believe that you can provide yourselves with food and drink everywhere, with nourishment for your soul, and you don’t think about the fact that only I can give the soul the right nourishment and that you …. wherever you may go …. always have to approach Me Myself for it, thus you have to open the door of your heart so that I Myself can enter to feed you …. And if you approach Me Myself for this, it doesn’t matter where you address this request to Me, for I will always hear you and come to you wherever you call Me. It is not the case that I have stored food and drink somewhere so that you can now provide for yourselves without making contact with Me …. You will only be able to receive the right food and the right drink from My hand, which will enable your soul to recover and strengthen itself for your pilgrimage to the homeland. And therefore I Myself must be able to enter you, you must willingly open the door for Me and now also take supper together with Me, because I Myself want to feed you, because I Myself offer each individual this nourishment he needs for the recovery of his soul …. I only knock at the door of your heart, but you yourselves have to open it and let Me into your heart. So what use is it to you if you fill yourselves with food which I Myself have not prepared for you? Then you will indeed fill yourselves but you will not be able to take the substances from the food which your soul needs to build itself up …. it will remain dead or weakened, it will feel hunger and thirst and no help will be brought to it in its need …. And this is the lot of the souls of those who are eager to penetrate ‘God’s word’, who constantly occupy themselves with the word of God and only burden their minds with it, who seek to fathom the meaning of the divine word by way of study and whose souls come up empty in the process. Thus they believe to nourish their souls and yet only their intellect receives what they call ‘bread of heaven’, which they now want to distribute again to their fellow human beings. They themselves will go empty-handed, i.e., their souls will go hungry, and their fellow human beings will not be able to receive anything for their souls either if the intimate bond with Me is not established first and I am approached to feed them, if the door has not been opened first that I can enter them in order to pass the supper to them …. All My words had a spiritual meaning but people no longer pay attention to it. And when I said to My disciples: “Take and eat, take and drink …. do this in remembrance of Me ….” so also the spiritual meaning of these words was always only the direct connection with Me …. that they should remember Me as well as receive food and drink which serves as nourishment for their soul. The presentation of bread and wine alone is just as little use to the soul as the reading and listening to the divine word if I am not first sincerely remembered and thus, as it were, the feeding of the soul by Myself takes place …. Nor are mere empty words sufficient to call upon Me Myself …. It must be a call in spirit and in truth …. The door of the heart must be opened to Me and I must be asked to come in …. And I will truly distribute food and drink what every soul needs. Thus the opening of the door is equal to the voluntary turning to Me, the desire for union with Me and the request for the bestowal of gifts of grace, it is the soul’s admission of weakness and neediness which wants to be nourished by Me Myself, and through such an opened door I will truly enter the heart, I will administer food and drink to the soul and it will recover, it will mature, it will come to life which it now can no longer lose eternally ….

Amen

You seek to gain from life everything it offers you; you strive for the goods of this world with all your senses, you increase your possessions and eagerly collect earthly treasures. You do not even think about how worthless all that you desire is …. You do not think about what matter is in the first place and in what relationship you already stand to it. Material goods should indeed serve you, you can make them serve you, but you must not let yourselves be dominated by them …. And this is what you do when your thoughts and aspirations are exclusively directed towards the acquisition of material goods. Then you have already become the slave of matter or also the slave of him whose domain is the material world. For all matter is spiritual that once fell away from God, which hardened itself through its resistance to God and is now forced by God’s will into a serving function in order to emerge again from the hardened state …. But the human being was once the same which, after an infinitely long time, worked its way up again through involuntary service, that it was allowed to shed the material coverings and has now regained freedom again to a certain extent in order to now also become free from its last material cover through a right relationship with God and also towards matter, which it has therefore overcome. He should help matter to serve, but he must not let himself be dominated by it. But the behaviour of people proves the latter …. The addiction to matter has become excessive, people only live with this aim in mind, that is, to acquire what the world offers them, and the joy of possession is an open devotion to that from which their earthly task is to detach themselves. For he who desires the world with its goods has no desire for the kingdom that is not of this world. For anyone who desires the world remembers little or nothing of his God and creator, he is not in the right relationship with Him, he is not the ‘child’ who seeks his ‘father’ …. He still has much fellowship with the one who is lord of the material world and strives to return to him, from whose power God had already helped him so far through his walk through creation that it is easy for him to completely detach himself from him on earth. But man can never accomplish this release if he does not first free himself from the desire for these material goods. Only when he learns to despise them, when he no longer attaches more value to them than that they serve him according to divine order, only when spiritual goods are worth striving for can he accept the latter and thus accomplish the change from this world to the spiritual kingdom, and only then will he succeed in complete detachment from the lord of this world. And everyone could do this if only he would consider the worthlessness of earthly goods, if only he would think about the value of even the most desirable things in this world at the hour of his death, which he cannot determine himself but which can be granted to him on any day. Man lives and therefore thinks only of life, but not of death, which is insecure for him …. and he shakes off every thought of it unwillingly …. And yet he knows that he cannot take anything into the kingdom of the beyond that he has acquired in earthly life …. Yet he allows himself to be dominated by the thought of making his earthly life as beautiful as possible, and again and again he is influenced by God’s adversary in this sense, so that his greed for material goods will always increase because one tries to outdo the other and no-one thinks of how poor he really is and in what hardship he will cross over into the spiritual kingdom when his hour has come. But no human being can acquire earthly and spiritual goods together. Only he will be richly blessed at the end of his earthly life who has become master of the goods of this world, who has only sought to gather spiritual treasures that will last for all eternity ….

Amen

The living evidence of My love is the word which comes to you from above as a direct emanation from Me …. for I speak to you because I love you and also want to win your love. Eternal, everlasting love unites Me with My living creations and this love also wants to express itself. It is not satisfied that it sustains you, that it ensures your existence. It wants to communicate itself to you, it wants to give you proof that the highest, most perfect being Which created you is also constantly connected to you …. It wants you to desire this being, your God and father, and likewise to re-enter the firm bond which you once severed …. And that is why I reveal Myself to you, that is why I speak to you humans again and again, that is why you hear My word from above. If My love for you had diminished due to your former apostasy, the great distance from Me would certainly be reason enough for Me to keep silent towards you, because it was you yourselves who distanced yourselves from Me …. But My love for you cannot ever diminish, and the further you distance yourselves from Me the more eagerly I endeavour to fetch you back to Me again, which is precisely the explanation for My greater than great love. But you humans cannot grasp what it means for a being to possess My unlimited love. Nor can you imagine what effect this love would have on yourselves if you reciprocated it, if you pushed towards Me again with the same love as you did in the beginning …. You live in a world which hardly knows love anymore, you yourselves are only willing to love to a small extent, you also make no attempt to test the strength of love because you don’t know that love is strength in itself …. And in your ignorance you keep yourselves distant from the source of love from which you could draw strength in abundance. And if I want to remedy this ignorance of yours for the time being, then I Myself must speak to you and enlighten you. And this alone is proof of My love for you that I want to help you achieve a happiness which is still completely unknown to you. If I wanted to leave you as you are then I would not need to speak to you, but then you would eternally live in ignorance, thus in darkened spirit, and you would not be happy, for darkness is not happiness. But I created blissful beings out of My strength of love, which My love constantly permeated and always gave them new happiness, because My love cannot help but give itself away …. But you, as beings which have fallen away from Me, are deprived of this happiness but you will never need to do without My love. And this love tries to shape you again such that it can also give you gifts again without being rejected. Such a gift of love is also My word spoken to you from above which wants to give you a glimmer of light, which shall touch your hearts and open them for the flow of My love. I only address you because you humans doubt a connection with a higher being, with the being Who created you …. because you have isolated yourselves so much from this being that you already doubt His existence. Yet My address shall prove Myself to you, for I will not let go of you even if you still resist …. My love follows you, and My love will prove itself to you again and again without exerting any coercion of will upon you. But the strength of My love will nevertheless touch you one day and you will voluntarily surrender to it. But you shall always have the opportunity to recognize your God and father, you shall be able to take notice of His never-ending love through the word which I Myself convey to earth …. For it will become increasingly more difficult for people to believe in a God of love and mercy because they lack all light, because people themselves give access to error rather than truth and because only truth can spread true light. My word from above, however, is truth, it is the light in which I Myself can also be recognized and loved and which I therefore will ignite again and again in order to win My living creations’ love ….

Amen

Every person could attain correct thinking if only he lived his life in divine order. And then every person would also possess the right knowledge why and for what purpose he takes the path across earth, for God does not keep Himself hidden and He also enlightens the person who listens to Him, who desires clarification about the meaning and purpose of his earthly existence. But a way of life in divine order is synonymous with a way of life in love …. And people usually lack this, and the result is wrong thinking, a darkened spiritual state, lack of understanding and rejection of truth. Love is the bond with God, where love is missing there is great distance from God. This is the simplest explanation for the fact that people lack knowledge and do not accept it when it is offered to them. Only a person who is willing to love can be given knowledge which he lacks, for only he will also be able to understand it and it will appeal to him, he will recognize it as truth. A change of thinking can therefore only be brought about if people are made so urgent about the commandments of love for God and neighbour that they seek to change themselves …. And as long as those commandments are not emphasized as important, as long as people’s attention is drawn to completely unimportant things, it is also impossible to familiarize them with the truth, to present them with knowledge which explains their purpose and reason for being. Proof of this is that the same knowledge is readily accepted by one person while it meets with rejection from the other …. and that the former unmistakably possesses a heart willing to love while the other is hardened and pays little attention to God’s commandments of love. ‘Knowledge’ will also never cause people to become ‘active in love’, but only the will to love opens up the meaning of knowledge to the human being. Love is therefore the factor that must always be reckoned with if people want to achieve spiritual progress. For even the most ignorant person can mature his soul if his way of life is a change of love, even though he lacks all knowledge on earth but it is imparted to him in a flash in the spiritual kingdom. And therefore love will always have to be preached to people first …. This is far more important than introducing them to knowledge for which they lack all understanding as long as love has not been kindled in them either. Jesus’ teaching of love, however, is proclaimed everywhere where a spark of faith can still be found amongst people, for Jesus’ teaching of love is the foundation on which every church organization was built. Therefore, anyone who belongs to a church organization also knows about the commandments of love for God and love for one’s neighbour …. He himself can now make use of this knowledge …. He can make the commandments of love the guiding principle of his way of life, but he can also put the fulfilment of these commandments on the back burner and give priority to unimportant commandments …. He can forget about this latter of the divine commandments of love …. He is not prevented from doing so, for he has free will. But then his spiritual state is darkened and he cannot be illuminated in any other way than that the light of love ignites in him. For this reason the blame does not lie solely with those who offer people false food when they have been informed of Jesus’ divine teaching of love. For every human being can freely choose to observe the commandments of love for God and neighbour …. If he considers them to be of primary importance, as he was taught, then he will also kindle in himself the light which will give him brightness even about the occasion and purpose of his earthly life …. If he neglects the fulfilment of these commandments then it will remain dark in him, no matter how much truthful knowledge is supplied to him. Therefore only one thing is necessary, again and again to point people to Jesus’ divine teaching of love, again and again to preach love and to urge the fulfilment of the commandments …. Only then will the human being make himself receptive for knowledge which explains God’s plan of salvation to him, and only then will he utilize the knowledge and eagerly strive for perfection ….

Amen

I descended to earth because of the great spiritual need, because I had pity on the people who were held in captivity by My adversary, who could no longer resist him and who cried to God for a Saviour. But only few still believed firmly and steadfastly that the Messiah would come as it was written, but these few expected Him with great longing, they expected Him as their Saviour from severe difficulties and distress …. And I descended for their sake, because their cry for help reached My ears and I did not want to disappoint their faith. Besides, the time had come for the mission of the man Jesus …. I wanted to release the whole of humanity from the adversary’s ties, and I also wanted to bring redemption to those who had already passed away but could not enter My kingdom until the immense guilt of sin had been redeemed, which was the cause of humanity’s existence on earth …. I Myself came to earth in this human being Jesus to bring salvation to all people, to rescue them from the chains with which they had been bound since eternity and to open the path into My kingdom for them, into the kingdom of eternal peace and bliss.

Only few people were willing to receive Me when I descended to earth, that is, only few recognised Me, because they were living a life of love …. And hence the flock of My followers was small, even though I constantly endeavoured to motivate people to do works of love which would have resulted in their recognition of Me as their God and Father of eternity. Because the immense hardship was caused by the fact that there was little love amongst people, that they were already completely controlled by the one who, being entirely without love, confronted Me as My enemy, whom I wanted to fight and, through My victory, rescue the souls which he held captive. Thus I Myself exemplified a life of unselfish love to people, because love was the weapon which I Myself wanted to use against My opponent and which also gave the people themselves the strength to resist him. Without love they were his slaves, but he cannot resist love, love is the only weapon to which he succumbs, but at the time of My descent to earth it could barely be found amongst people …. Love was the only bond with Me, their God and Father of eternity. And this bond had to be established if people wanted to hear My Word.

My Word could no longer be spoken to them, because without love they no longer believed in a God Who wanted to speak to them. And so I came to earth to speak to people Myself, to reveal to them My will once again, to give them My commandments of love once again, and to once again proclaim My Gospel …. the divine teaching, which was to guide them into bliss. But I had to bring yet more significant help to people …. First I wanted to save them from the power which kept them enchained, which depleted their will and prevented them from fulfilling My will. I wanted to release them from his control …. And to this end I chose the form of the human being Jesus in order to accomplish an act of love and mercy which would deliver humanity from all hardship …. But all the people who wanted to be released from their tormentor also had to side with Me. Those who voluntarily stayed with him could not be saved by Me, but those who turned to Me also received the strength from Me to release themselves from his clutches.

However, this act of Salvation had to be accomplished by human means, because people’s will must not be compelled. They should be entirely free to acknowledge or reject the act of Salvation by the human being Jesus …. in Whom I Myself was made flesh. For this reason I walked on earth as the man Jesus and prepared people for the immense sacrifice of compensation, which was to make

Amends for the enormous guilt of sin, on account of which they lived on earth. But only few recognised Me and saw Me as the Saviour, the Messiah, Who always and forever had been proclaimed by seers and prophets. The hardship was overwhelming when I descended to earth but the act of Salvation was accomplished, because My love was overwhelming too, and thus Love wiped out the guilt of sin by sacrificing Itself on the cross. And this love will time and again try to help people who have not yet found salvation, who have not yet made use of the blessings of the act of Salvation and thus still languish in My adversary’s captivity, who would never be able to release themselves without help and whom I will nevertheless never abandon. Instead I will cross their path time and again and draw their attention to the act of Salvation by the human Jesus, Whose love as a ‘human being’ recognised his fellow human beings’ spiritual hardship and Who, by virtue of His love, made the sacrifice to die on the cross in extreme agony. And time and again I will come to people in My Word and inform them of Jesus’ act of supreme love and mercy, Who received Me Myself, Who totally united with Me by means of love, and Who became the Saviour and Redeemer from sin and death for all of you ….

Amen

The possibility exists for every human being to attain perfection during his life on earth. This is why he is accountable to God as to how he uses his time on earth. Thus he cannot sin ‘with impunity’ …. i.e., it will not be without consequences if he does not live a correct way of life, if he lives it in a way that the soul does not derive any benefit from it. And these consequences have to be accepted by him, which he subsequently indeed views as ‘punishment’ but which are merely the result of his wrong way of life …. Thus he has to blame himself for his apparent state of punishment, he caused it of his own free will, for he could just as well have lived correctly, because it was possible for him. But people very rarely think of their future responsibility towards God, Who cannot judge any differently than earthly life demands. They don’t think about it because they don’t believe, because they don’t want to believe, that they have to fulfil a purpose during their earthly life. People’s lack of responsibility keeps steadily growing the more faith dwindles amongst them. The actual earthly purpose of life is not considered and the time after the body’s death is not thought of either, because all faith in it is lacking. That is why the soul will be horrified when it becomes conscious of its existence as well as of its miserable state and when it realises that it caused this state itself …. On the other hand, however, the human being on earth can only ever be admonished to live a responsible way of life, he can only be informed of a God’s judicial authority but he cannot be forced to believe by means of evidence. And people also believe that it is sufficient to do their duty and not to commit any obvious offence …. But thereby they do not reach perfection and a life like that is not the purpose of their earthly existence. The grace of embodiment as a human being must be utilised, because it is a gift for the being which had disfigured itself and which should, and is able to, attain its former perfection again. It is a gift, because the being turned away from God of its own free will, thus it had spurned His divine strength of love. But God offers the being His strength of love once more, and He does this when the soul travels the earthly path as a human being. This incredible gift of grace should be respected by a person, he should not treat it carelessly, he should accept what God’s love offers to him …. Therefore he will have to justify himself before God as to how he used this gift of grace. He must do everything in his power in order to make himself worthy of God’s love, he must gratefully accept what is offered to him in order to attain his past high level again; but he should not live his earthly life irresponsibly, for this grace is only given to him once. And although God will not let go of him, he will nevertheless never be able to catch up with what he had neglected to do during his earthly life because of his own fault …. And his remorse will be immense once he recognises in the beyond the significance of the gift of grace he had left unused on earth ….

Amen

Only the one who has decided for God will also follow the path that leads to Him. First of all, the will is necessary to rejoin the highest being, even if the human being knows nothing about his former apostasy from Him. But as soon as he recognizes and acknowledges a God and creator above himself and is urged towards Him, his will will have turned towards Him again from Whom the being once turned away in free will. And then the human being will also receive the strength for the path which leads upwards. But no human being will take this path who has not yet turned to God of his own will. For the path to Him demands self-sacrifice, it demands a conscious work of the soul which no-one undertakes on himself as long as he does not yet strive towards a aim …. For one thing has to be declared, that the human being still belongs to God’s adversary as long as his will has not yet decided for God. And the adversary will never tolerate the human being’s soul work which contradicts his own fundamental nature, and he will always use his influence for selfish thoughts and actions as long as the human being is still in his possession. But God helps every person whose eyes or thoughts only turn towards Him that his will becomes active and he decides in favour of Him. But then he will also be able to constantly receive strength and his ascent will be assured, for God will never ever leave him to His adversary once he has professed Him. But before that the human being is not only exposed to the influence of God’s adversary but his thoughts are also influenced by the world of light, a silent battle is waged for the human being’s will, his thoughts are directed from God’s adversary to the world while the beings of light try to guide his thoughts into the spiritual kingdom and also fatefully intervene in his life to support their endeavour. But coercion is not used from either side, which is why this battle can often last a very long time before it is decided in favour of one lord or the other. Every person will at times occupy himself with thoughts which lie outside the earthly, but not everyone persists in them for a long time. Very often he resists such thoughts and quickly returns to the realm of the earthly-material world. And this has been defeated by God’s adversary, his influence was stronger than that of the beings of light who nevertheless do not give up the fight and again and again try to gain stronger influence over him. Yet some people cannot let go of thoughts of the spiritual world, they keep returning even if the world temporarily captivates them, and these are the ones who feel they belong to a higher being and would also like to establish contact with this being but have not yet found the right contact and therefore have not yet openly expressed their will to God. The beings of light do not work on them in vain, and they also achieve that people themselves send questioning thoughts out into infinity and are now also grasped by the spirit, Which fills infinity, Who then also never lets them go but continues to guide them until they consciously unite with Him, until their will only strives to reach the aim for the purpose of which they live on this earth. Every searching, questioning thought is already a turn of will towards God, which is noticed by the beings of light and now supported in every way. And what does not succeed straight away can nevertheless be successful for once as long as the human being is still undecided, i.e. has not completely surrendered to the adversary so that he stifles every budding thought …. The battle for souls continues until a person’s physical death if he has not already decided in favour of God, for God will not give up a soul as long as it lives on earth as a human being. But even the adversary will not rest from harassing souls which have already willingly given themselves to God; only his efforts will remain unsuccessful, for then the human being will no longer be without strength and he will be able to offer resistance because God Himself will help every person who has found the path to Him ….

Amen

My plan from eternity is the return of the spiritual, which My adversary bound to himself after his fall into the abyss, after his apostasy from Me and his rebellion against Me. My adversary emerged from My love as a first-created being …. I had created this being in My image and therefore it stood by My side in an inconceivable abundance of light and strength, exceedingly powerful and wise …. it was the most blissful creature because My love constantly permeated it, bestowed supreme beatitude upon it and again and again sought to increase this beatitude for that being. My fundamental being was reflected in this being created by Me, except that it was visibly externalized for Me, whereas the being was unable to behold Me Itself. But it knew of Me, it knew that I had let it come into being and that it received this blissful strength of love from Me. For I Myself transferred that knowledge to My image because I Myself wanted to establish an exchange of our thoughts with it …. because I had also given it the ability to understand the ‘word’ which sounded in it as an imprinted thought and which it was now likewise able to return and thus the most blissful exchange took place between us for the sake of which I had let the being arise. For My infinite love sought a resonance, it sought a vessel into which it could pour itself, it sought an object which it could make happy, for which it wanted to prepare the most blissful existence forever …. This plan had certainly been designed by Me since eternity but it always left open the question whether this being would also join My plan, because it was created in all freedom of will and externalized by Me as an independent being which could also determine itself. Although My thoughts in the form of the word resounded in it, the being was nevertheless not forced to think and want like Me …. It possessed the ability to consider My word in all directions …. it was therefore able to arbitrarily give the word a meaning for itself which I had not put into it. But it was only able to do so as soon as it entered into an inverted relationship with Me, its God and creator …. whereas it completely agreed with Me in its thoughts and intentions as long as it opened itself to Me with devoted love in order to receive My ray of love. But the being was also aware of this very ability and therefore also attempted the state of repelling My strength of love in order to be able to form its thoughts according to its own will completely uninfluenced …. These attempts only took place after an infinitely long time of unlimited bliss which My love had prepared for the being …. And during this time of the first-created being’s most intimate communion with Me it was creatively active to such an extent that it called countless beings into being, because this urge for exchange, for objects to receive its love, was also present in it as a sign of My image and I therefore constantly supplied the being with the strength necessary for creation. However, when the being made the first attempts to repel My inflowing strength of love, the process of wrong thinking also began …. and the strength to create temporarily diminished …. But the being also felt the decrease in bliss and turned to Me again in pure love, so that I was able to make it happy again as before and the creation of supremely perfect beings also continued again …. But those temporary interruptions increased …. (25.10.1957) For again and again the being considered within itself whether it should not be able to achieve and create the same without Me, and it also tested itself in its creative activity by temporarily isolating itself from Me, thus also denying Me the supply of strength of love, and yet used its existing strength to create beings entirely according to its will, which then also already carried something of its will within themselves. But these were only ever short attempts and it always returned to Me again in order to experience the happiness through My strength of love. Its thinking, however, took on an increasingly more hostile form …. The strength of love, which it knew had its origin in Me, was envied by this being …. of light bearers …. Me, and he toyed with the thought of inducing Me to divest Myself of My strength of love by perpetually creating new beings, of appropriating the right of possession over these beings for himself and thus weakening Me …. while he wanted to enjoy the evidence of My strength withdrawn from Me and surpass Me in power and strength …. These thoughts did not suddenly arise in him, but a single wrong thought …. one moment of wrongly-directed thinking …. gave place to ever new wrong ideas. The light-bearer was at odds with himself. And he could easily have found his way out of this conflict if he had discussed it with Me, which was certainly possible for him. He constantly drew My strength of love, and precisely this uninterrupted influx caused him to think wrongly that this influx would not change forever, even if he isolated himself from the one Whom he certainly recognized as his God and creator. But every thought directed against Me weakened the supply of strength and caused him to become ever more rebellious against Me …. until he finally completely renounced Me and thereby also put an end to the influx of strength which enabled him to create …. But during this infinitely long time an endless number of beings had also emerged from his will with the help of My strength, which were of the same inner nature as their creator was to Me at the moment of creation …. But My strength of love permeated all beings otherwise they could not have come into being, and this strength of love also urged all these beings towards Me to the same extent as towards their producer. For although the latter placed his wrong will into these beings, the light of realization was nevertheless still in them which ignited My strength of love in them. Hence the beings were not yet sinful when My now adversary let them come into being. But they were also easily inclined to believe his ideas when he presented himself as the highest being, because none of the created beings could see Me. They were impelled by love for Me, yet the one who was visible to them wanted to be acknowledged by them as God and creator, and He was also acknowledged by those beings whose act of creation had taken place at the moment of an inner opposition to Me …. Light was given to those souls from Me, they were also able to hear My word and they were also able to think …. Hence they need not have believed his ideas and acknowledged him, but their will was also free, they could neither be forced by Me nor by My adversary, and therefore they became sinful when they were supposed to use the right of self-determination and decided in favour of My adversary. For they recognized Me even though they were unable to see Me, but they voluntarily followed the one they could see …. It was, as it were, a decision against their better knowledge …. and therefore a huge guilt which caused the being’s complete weakening, a darkened spiritual state and lack of all strength …. For the influx of My strength of love was consciously rejected when they followed My adversary into the abyss …. Only those who are able to grasp the perfection in which all beings once emerged from Me, how brightly the light shone in all of them, can imagine the magnitude of their guilt for having given up the light and followed the one who led them into darkness. All these fallen beings could not have been called to account if they had been deprived of all knowledge beforehand by My adversary’s will, but they were all products of My strength of love, and thus they were also permeated by it and, as beings of light, able to make the right decision when this was required of them. But they directed the will in themselves wrongly, and they were not prevented from doing so, and therefore the distance from Me is also in accordance with their guilt, and the return to Me requires eternities and can also only take place when the substitutionary atonement of the man Jesus is acknowledged and requested by every being which once fell ….

Amen

Only on earth is it possible for you to attain the highest degree of perfection, so that you, as God’s true ‘children’, will be able to enter into supreme happiness. Earth is the place of education for the spiritual essence which makes the greatest demands on the human being’s will. All places of education in the entire universe serve to mature the souls, and they can also help them to achieve immeasurable bliss, but only the process across earth can gain the being the childship to God, a degree of happiness which signifies a direct influx of strength and light, utmost proximity to the heavenly Father and the beholding of Him face to face in all glory. There are so many different degrees of blissfulness in the kingdom of light, and it already denotes happiness and bliss if a being has found admission to the realm of light at all. But the degree of bliss can constantly increase, and this concept cannot be easily explained to you humans as long as your thinking is still limited, as long as you still live on earth. However, you can nevertheless be educated to strive for the highest goal that can be achieved by your life on earth. You shall know and believe that God has embodied you on this earth precisely because He wants to prepare an inconceivably magnificent fate for you, but which you have to acquire for yourselves, which he cannot just give you, but He is providing you with all possibilities to make sure that you can attain the goal.

The souls which travel the path across this earth have already ascended from the lowest abyss, they have left such an appalling path of suffering behind themselves that they are indeed sufficiently prepared to still travel the last short path, but precisely this last time of trial is dangerous, since after the infinitely long time of extremely painful constraint they now sense a certain amount of freedom and can easily misuse it. Especially this earth is a place of temptation, because the embodied souls on this earth have been the most loyal followers of God’s adversary, which he doesn’t want to release and thus he constantly influences the souls which strive to ascend. But if these once most loyal followers of the fallen original spirit can detach themselves from his bondage then an really wonderful fate will await them, for then the change from God’s ‘living creation’ into God’s ‘child’ will have taken place, but this also necessitates complete dedication to God, a total change of their nature, a shaping into a high degree of love …. hence an extremely difficult and sorrowful earthly life, if it is to lead to the goal. But only few people will reach this high degree of perfection, nevertheless, the path across earth will be more highly valued by God than a path across other places of development which offer easier conditions for the beings yet also grant them happiness and bliss as long as they fulfil the tasks required of them in all these schools of divine love.

All souls shall return again, and their bliss consists of the fact that there will be no end, that the being will constantly strive in order to constantly receive fulfilment, that the bliss, too, will forever increase, which God is bestowing on those who approach Him. However, people on earth don’t know what they are able to attain through their earthly life …. they don’t know that they can pass over untold intermediate stages, that it is possible for them to gain a place at the Father’s heart which will eternally compensate them for the most difficult earthly fate, for a life on earth which almost seems unbearable to them …. God therefore has embodied Himself as a human being on earth in order to demonstrate to people what kind of life a person ought to live in order to attain the highest goal. He has shown to them that it is possible to so spiritualise the soul through love and suffering, that it can completely merge with God, in order to then be and remain forever indescribably happy in total union with the Father ….

Amen

When the eternal love descends to you in order to prove Itself to you, countless rays emanate into the darkness of this earth, and attracted by these rays countless beings find themselves, to whom the darkness causes agony and who also notice the tiniest glimmer of light and rush towards it. A connection from earth to the spiritual kingdom is exceedingly blessed because it is a possibility to also impart a glimmer of light to the souls in the beyond, for these keep themselves …. especially when they are still very immature …. near earth, and through such connections they can come to the realization that they themselves no longer dwell on earth and that nevertheless a contact exists between the earthly kingdom and their present abode. Yet even such souls are attracted by the rays who no longer have an earthly bond but feel the torments of darkness in darkened spirits …. A small ray of light can now also give them a little illumination of spirit, and it is therefore a great blessing if a person enables the eternal love Itself to send a ray of light to earth, for the light cannot shine down into darkness against people’s will. The benefit such souls feel when a ray of light also touches them is indescribable, and even a hardened soul can soften and give up its resistance, for it was love which had touched it and which also does not remain without strength as soon as the soul voluntarily finds itself where it beholds light. And if you humans now consider that every intimate connection with the spiritual kingdom, every spiritual thought and especially every prayer in spirit and in truth always transfers you into radiant light …. if you consider that you are always surrounded by souls which are only waiting for the flashing of a ray of light because they have already been able to observe it with you, then it is a conscious work of redemption on your part if only you often establish this bond which enables the shining down of the divine light of love. For the souls in darkness can only ever be shown the path through a glimmer of light to you …. where, through God’s love and grace, the path leading out of darkness to the light is also shown to them. And if those souls only once receive light about the redemptive work of the man Jesus, if only once they can be truthfully informed of the greatest work of love and mercy which was offered for all people, for all sinners, then even the unredeemed souls in the spiritual kingdom will know that they themselves have to take the path to Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ …. Then the small glimmer of light will have helped to ever brighter light, and every soul which allowed itself to be touched by the divine light of love will now bring large crowds of souls from darkness again and likewise seek to push them into the circle of light where it found help and a light which did it unspeakable good …. which is why it seeks to pay off its gratitude with redeeming activity. It is difficult to address the souls in the beyond who dwell in darkness, for they are still in the same defence as on earth, and light cannot be given to the souls against their will either …. But as soon as a connection is established between earth and the spiritual kingdom, which is not concealed from such souls by God’s grace, a quite human curiosity first awakens in them and they unconsciously enter the circle of light which surrounds these people in order to also be touched by a ray of light from which they then no longer want to separate themselves …. Once such a bond is lifted again that the human being pursues his earthly thoughts or duties again, these beings nevertheless remain close to him in order not to need to do without a ray of light when it shines again. And therefore every spiritual activity is an immense blessing, for it has far more effect in the kingdom of the beyond than on earth, where you humans often have little success. But the souls you called out of darkness through God’s ray of love, which you yourselves granted access to through your will, are eternally grateful to you. And if you still consciously call upon these unredeemed souls you can truly accomplish a work of redemption of the greatest magnitude, for there is great hardship in the kingdom of darkness where many souls are already languishing for endless times and are approaching a new banishment if they don’t escape the darkness before the end and allow themselves to be touched by a ray of love …. Always remember those souls in prayer and often give them the opportunity to experience the merciful love of the divine saviour Jesus Christ by giving them light through your will to help them by consciously calling them to every spiritual mediation …. And it will be a blessed work that you do ….

Amen

You are all not yet strong enough in faith otherwise not the slightest doubt would befall you when you turn to Me in heartfelt prayer. You lack the strength of faith which can move mountains …. Although I always want you to submit yourselves to My will, to completely enter into My will, with strong faith you would not doubt that My will is other than to give you what you ask for …. For this is the strength of faith that you feel at one with Me and My will, that you feel so intimately united with Me that the same will also controls you, that you no longer feel isolated from Me but that you walk your earthly path in the feeling of complete agreement between My will and yours and therefore also always know that you will only request what I want to give you. You all have to form your bond with Me even more intimately and then you will truly be able to move mountains, for then it will always be Me Who carries out everything you want. And therefore you should ward off every doubt, you should approach Me for help in full faith that I will help you …. For as soon as you sincerely join Me you will only address such requests to Me whose fulfilment will not be detrimental to your soul. And therefore only ever ask yourselves whether you desire something for the soul or only for your body …. I truly do not withhold from the soul what serves it, what is desirable for the body alone I can certainly withhold from you, but then only ever out of love for you so that your soul will not suffer any harm. Yet again and again I tell you that you will only address such requests to Me yourselves which I will grant as soon as you are sincerely devoted to Me. And thus you first have to ask yourselves what kind of bond exists between you and Me …. And as long as you doubt, this bond also leaves much to be desired. For if you are convinced of My presence within you then you will also know that I regulate everything and think and act for you. Then you will also know that nothing is impossible for Me, that I only want you to trust Me …. that I only require strong, unshakeable faith from you in My love, wisdom and power …. You should gain this faith in order to also be able to transfer it to others, and the stronger this faith is within yourselves the more convincing you can also influence your fellow human beings, who shall also attain faith again. You don’t doubt My power but you doubt My will …. Therefore you must still be of a different will yourselves, otherwise you would know yourselves to be in complete agreement with Me and then you would not desire anything which does not correspond to My will …. But if you desire, then you should also know that I desire the same for you …. that I therefore also want to fulfil your requests as soon as you submit yourselves to Me and My will. For then you cannot want anything else. And then your prayer will be right and you need not doubt. So only ever strive to let Me be present in you through your will to live to please Me, through heartfelt prayer and unceasing love …. Then you will also always be of the same will as Me and only ever request what I will certainly grant you, for then your will will be Mine and you will only ever request what is beneficial for your soul’s salvation ….

Amen

I can only ever just kindle a light for you and illuminate the way, but you have to voluntarily walk it yourselves. And I can also offer you My company but at the same time I will not impose it on you, precisely because I won’t force you, instead you yourselves have to join Me and appeal to Me that I should always walk by your side as your fellow traveller. But then you cannot go astray …. I, for My part, will certainly do everything to enable your ascent to Me, nevertheless you have the freedom to want and act at your own discretion. So many people fail because they misuse their freedom and turn a deaf ear to all My advice and words of caution, yet their rebellious determination will not be forcefully broken. You can certainly force people on earth into obedience, there you can use your power when you believe that people resist you unjustifiably. But My eternal plan of Salvation excludes all use of force where it concerns the retrieval of the spirit; because the final goal I want to accomplish can only be achieved by the being’s free will. My love will persistently strive for this goal and will also find the right means to turn the spirit’s will to its favour so that it then will voluntarily walk the path of return into the Father’s house.

Love achieves much, and any loving being’s influence on the still undecided spirit can be successful …. but this will be difficult if the being still favours My adversary. But the human being’s will is respected, it is merely constantly pursued …. or, in other words, the path will always be shown again to the person. That is, a light is kindled, time and again My Word will be made accessible to the human being which, as a light from above, clearly and precisely informs him of his earthly goal and shows the divine Saviour’s cross in its brightness …. And once the human being can see this bright path, the will is also able to decide whether to follow this path and to aim towards the cross …. this path has to be taken by every human being himself. It is pointless just to see it and not to follow it; hence it is pointless to ‘merely take notice’ of My Word or of Christ’s act of Salvation; instead it is essential to walk the path which leads past the Calvary Cross: My Word has to be exemplified in the same way the man Jesus did on earth, and then the path, which is clearly shown to you humans, will be followed. And thus no human being should believe that it is irrelevant as to which path he walks, no human being should believe to reach the same goal on lesser ways, nor should any human being believe that he may walk without the right guidance, because then his path will inevitably lead into the abyss, back to where he came from, from whence My love had already lifted him ….

He has to commend himself to Me Myself, he has to appeal for My guidance, one day he will have to look at the path brightly lit ahead of him and should not be deterred when he sees the cross which shows that he will have to go through suffering. He should always think of the magnificent goal that can only be reached in this way, and he must …. if he wants to walk this path ….petition Me for strength and trust in My guidance …. And he will indeed be able to walk the path of ascent because I will always guide him such that he will by-pass all treacherous cliffs, that he can easily step across each obstacle and climb the peak with ease. For I will always give him the strength not to tire, no matter how steep the path appears to him …. But he will not reach the goal alone, for as soon as he walks alone someone else will join him who will quickly and easily push him away from the right path towards the abyss. However, My love will always pursue you because My love does not abandon any of My living creations ….

Amen

You will still often find yourselves in spiritual distress, for My adversary will do everything in his power to win you back whom he fears to lose. And his means are only ever those which cause you severe distress, mentally or physically, so that you should doubt Me …. in a God Who promised you His help, Who said to you: Ask and it will be given to you, knock and it will be opened to you. If he succeeds in causing such doubts to arise in you then he has already taken you one step back, but you yourselves are decisive, for he cannot force you to follow the thoughts which he tries to transfer to you. You can immediately ward off every such thought as soon as it touches you if you are always aware that it originates from My adversary who wants to tempt you. You, who strive towards Me, need only ever fully consciously reject My adversary, you need only want not to fall prey to him and his temptations will bounce off you, for this will of yours gives you the strength to do so. You need not doubt My love for you, and even if your fate in life depresses you, you must still firmly believe that this, too, is only for the salvation of your soul and that one day you will thank Me, Who truly knows what is good for you. But again and again My adversary will also try to intervene and want to exploit every weak moment for himself and his plans. But the fact that you acknowledge Me and turn to Me is an abomination to him, and it is his greatest endeavour to prevent this, to tear you back from Me again. And therefore he tries to cast doubts into your hearts about a God Who loves you and helps you at all times, as He has promised. And whenever such quiet doubts arise in you, then remember that he is at work and resist him, and know that you are My children whose well-being is close to the father’s heart and from whom He never withdraws His love. And then take everything upon yourselves with submission, for it will only benefit your soul. His activity in the last days, however, will assume devastating proportions and it requires strong faith to resist him. For this reason I repeatedly draw your attention to the fact that you should not cease to struggle for a strong faith; that you should pray for strength and grace which I can then also supply to you in great measure; that you also acquire the strength for yourselves through a life of love and that your faith will then also increase …. and that you again and again hold heartfelt dialogue with Me, your God and father, from Whose love you came forth. You will be able to draw much strength from this intimate dialogue, for it can flow into you directly if you give Me the opportunity to speak to you. For My word is a source of strength which will surely supply you with what you lack …. And as soon as you immerse yourselves in My word, as soon as you give Me the opportunity to speak to you Myself, it will be completely impossible for My adversary to harass you, because then you will stand in a glow of light which he will flee, which is your best protective barrier against his attacks. And if you are therefore in spiritual or physical distress then test the strength of My word. Give yourselves to Me in humble dialogue, let My word take effect in you and you will be equal to My adversary’s every attempt, you will be able to resist, and your faith in My love and mercy, in My might and wisdom, will grow, and you will increasingly push towards Me and detach yourselves from the one who is My enemy and yours ….

Amen

I Myself assign the work to My servants which they are capable of doing and which they will always do successfully if only they willingly follow My instructions. I alone know where the plough has to be placed, I alone know the nature of the field and what kind of seed it can take up in order to bear fruit …. And thus I also always lead My servants to where their work is needed …. I always guide My servants on earth into the path where right vineyard work is to be done. And therefore the individual person’s path of life will always be guided by Me so that everyone can enter My servants’ sphere at some point, the right guides will step into every person’s path, every person will have the grace that his heart’s field can be planted with good seed if only he does not resist and deny My servants entry into his sphere …. I truly always find ways and means when I see that a person is in spiritual and earthly adversity. And in order to control the spiritual adversity I will again and again hire labourers for My vineyard, because many servants are needed who shall help Me to cultivate the soil for My sowing even in the last hour, for the time of harvest will soon have come …. (4.11.1957) That much still has to be done in this last time I keep telling you, My servants. And none of My servants should think that their work is dispensable, for the spiritual hardship is very great and there are only a few who offer to help Me. Yet the world of light is also constantly active but it needs your help because you first have to establish contact with your fellow human beings so that the beings of light can then intervene. For people are rarely willing to exchange the earthly sphere of thought for the spiritual one, yet their thoughts must first be directed into the spiritual kingdom if they want to make contact with the spiritual world or if the beings of light want to mentally influence people. And you, My servants on earth, can accomplish this by talking about the kingdom which is not yet a real concept to people, which seems unreal to them and yet is the kingdom which alone has reality, which is everlasting and shall one day become the abode of all people. But people who are still without any knowledge, whose thoughts only have purely earthly aims, these are the fields which are to be cultivated, which is certainly hard work which requires patience and perseverance and for which I have hired you in the last days before the end. It is hard work, for the resistance is often very great, but I will also give you the necessary strength, I will give you the right tools, I will provide you with seed which promises the best fruit …. And therefore it is certainly possible to transform those fields into good soil but it requires a great deal of love …. Love for Me, your lord, and love for your neighbour who, in his present state, is only to be pitied and needs help, and therefore not everyone is suitable, not everyone is willing to tackle this difficult work because he lacks love …. But I constantly solicit their services and I will truly reward My servants well, for time is short …. Soon night will fall where no more work can be done. The day will soon come to an end, but as long as it is still day, the light of the day shall also still be used. That is why My call for workers who want to create and work in My vineyard according to their lord’s instructions keeps ringing out. Yet I can only use those who adhere to My instructions, because I alone know in which way a rich yield can still be achieved, and because I also know how much time is left until the harvest is brought in. And therefore I will bless every servant who wants to serve Me, and he will truly not do any work in vain, no matter how arduous it may seem to him and he himself cannot see any success. His love for Me and his neighbour will ensure his success, and he will not need to fear the night either, because he will have accomplished his day’s work at the right time ….

Amen

Man has been given the ability to think. This also gives him the opportunity to research, to penetrate previously unknown territory, he can use his intellect to draw conclusions and build on his conclusions or experiences …. This also enables the human being to be creatively active, for everything he wants to bring into being must first be considered so that it also corresponds to the purpose for which it is created. Admittedly, the human being can also draw wrong conclusions, he cannot use his thinking ability correctly, his thinking can move in the wrong direction and the results can therefore also have a detrimental effect on people. But it is always possible for him to bring his thoughts back into the right order, because it is up to him how he uses his thinking ability. Therefore, the human being must first be aware of the fact that he can think right as well as wrong. And he must try to fathom the reason for this …. if he wants to secure himself against his thoughts taking the wrong direction. As long as there are different views even among those whose intellect is highly developed, not all can make the claim to truth of their intellectual results …. And as long as there are still disputed questions, even in earthly areas, the individual’s ability to think will also be evaluated differently. If the human being only considers his ability to think to be a talent arbitrarily placed in him by nature, which is his own business to develop, then the intellect will certainly always be stimulated to increased activity but he has no certainty of right thinking …. But if it sees its ability to think as a good bestowed upon it by the creative power, then it also seeks to win the affection of this creative power, and then its thinking will also be directed such that the intellect will produce truthful results. And then all results of these researchers will also agree who entrust themselves to a creative power acknowledged by them before they approach research which unusually demands their thinking activity. And then a structure will also be recognizable, the created works will be a blessing for people, they will have a serving task and also fulfil their serving purpose …. But just as the creative power does not refuse its assistance to people who ask for it, a counter-power also participates in the thinking of those who isolate themselves from the former …. and this counter-power seeks to guide thinking wrongly in order to prevent the emergence of blessed creations, in order to disturb all order. For the human being himself is not the ‘producer’ of his thoughts but they are sent to him from the spiritual kingdom, but the human being processes those thoughts according to his will, for which he was given the ability to think. He can also create evidence for the correctness of his thinking and therefore also draw logical conclusions despite opposing influence …. But then the aim he strives for is determined by the opposing power, and that is why once irrevocably a wrong conclusion is to be recorded, which destroys all previous successes or research results …. no matter how tremendous and convincing they seemed to be. But the human being can be certain of his success and need not fear erroneous conclusions if he consciously hands himself over to the power Which has endowed him with intellect and the ability to think …. if he appeals to this power for right thinking in accordance with his purpose on earth. Then he can also penetrate areas which are still unexplored, and he can expand the knowledge he has gained and again and again gather new knowledge, he can be active for the benefit of humanity, for what he now undertakes will also correspond to the will of that creative power Which was asked to guide him …. Science must work with God …. For even the sharpest intellect can err, and it will err if God, as the epitome of all wisdom, is eliminated …. because then God’s counter-spirit will have access, which wants to confuse people’s thinking, because it hates and seeks to overthrow everything that reveals divine order, and because its activity will never result in a blessing for humanity …. but his activity will irrevocably begin where people give their God and creator no room in their hearts. Therefore, even if there is still progress to be made in the scientific field …. you humans will only be able to enjoy it if divine assistance is evident …. But you will have to fear the results where man alone brings about works without God …. For the latter does not create alone but in cooperation with the one to whom he is in bondage, through his isolation from God …. and whose intervention brings destruction and death ….

Amen

To let faith come alive in oneself also requires a lively activity of love, an unselfish activity of love for one’s neighbor. Everything that a person does to himself, he should also do to his neighbor, as soon as the latter is in need, and this requires a putting aside of one’s own demands, it requires a fight against self-love, which clings to the human being as an inheritance of him, who is completely devoid of any love. But you humans will be able to notice a wonderful effect of such an unselfish love life, because you will gain a convinced faith …. It will be possible for you to believe when the divine teachings of faith are presented to you, because through the life of love you are also no longer so darkened in spirit to understand these teachings of faith rightly, and you therefore accept them without doubt or contradiction. To have found a living faith is truly happy, because you then also enter into contact with Him in Whom you believe …. You give yourselves to your God and father as a matter of course, you enter into the right relationship of a child to the father, and your earthly life is now also purposeful because you recognize your actual earthly task. If you are unselfishly active in love, your life is a constant giving and making happy …. but you receive a thousandfold back again …. first of all a convinced faith which makes you happy, and furthermore a measure of graces and spiritual goods which accumulate to a wealth which you can already utilize on earth, but even far more in the kingdom on the other side when you have left this earth. Unselfish activity of love is a proof of the presence of God, Who expresses Himself in every work of love, Who is love Himself and Whom you therefore cause to be present with every work of love …. For “he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ….”, ‘love’ and ‘God’ are inseparable terms …. Where love is, there is God, and where God is, works of love are also always performed. But where love is, faith in God must also come alive, because His presence is unmistakable. And the convinced faith lifts man beyond the earthly sphere, faith does not only stick to what can be proved, but it also gives understanding for what cannot be proved, as well as this faith has come out of love. What you therefore gain through love activity is far more than what you give. On earth you humans are still subjected to natural law difficulties, which can affect your body as well as your soul. But as soon as you have gained a living faith, you can also banish such burdens, you can become master of every adversity in communion with Him, in Whom you now firmly believe, because for Him there is nothing that He cannot remedy, and if you firmly lean on Him, then you are, as it were, also in the midst of His sphere of power, no disaster can befall you, no adversity can approach you anymore because you feel your father beside you by virtue of your living faith and thus you also know yourselves to be safe in His love …. But all this can only be achieved by a living faith, the firm certainty that God’s power and love will be revealed to you, because He is your father from eternity …. When you consider this, that only the will to love needs to be stimulated in you to relieve you of all adversity on earth as well, that you are as it were raptured from the heaviness of earth by virtue of love …. when you consider that you only need to take care of your neighbor in unselfish love and now also a faith will fill your heart that can move mountains …. and if you consider that a living faith also lets you make completely different use of your earthly existence, then you truly sacrifice nothing through your work of love, but you gain an exceeding profit …. You receive light and power to such an extent that you regain your original being. And what you have believed becomes a blessed certainty for you: You are firmly united with your God and father from eternity, you stand in the light again, i.e. in fullest knowledge of your destiny, and you possess the power to now also create and work according to this destiny with God and in His will …. For you have become His children, and you will remain His children forever ….

Amen

It is impossible for you to generate your own thoughts but you are able to pick-up and make use of thoughts flowing to you. For the thought is a spiritual emanation of strength, which you will understand if you consider that you are certainly capable of thinking about what is presented to you in some form or other but that you will not think about something that is entirely unknown to you until you have been touched by a ray of thought which, however, cannot originate in yourselves. On the other hand, however, it is possible for everyone to mull over and resolve problems if he accepts the influx of thoughts from the spiritual kingdom, but this will never be proof that he generates these thoughts himself …. When I brought you to life, when I externalised you from Myself as independent living creations I nevertheless established a connection between Me and you, which consisted of the fact that I spoke to you and you were able to reply …. And you were able to feel as well as hear these Words …. The feeling was the ‘thought’ which you audibly perceived as ‘Word’. But then, due to your ‘thinking ability’, you were able to form an opinion about this thought or Word and reply to it according to your will …. or continue on your own to think about the thought you had received, you are able to form or shape it as you want, thus more or less develop it further in either direction, judging the thought sent to you either correctly or incorrectly …. This is the thinking ability I granted to you as created beings in order to communicate with you, again, according to your will. Something must exist first, only then will you be able to deal with it. And I Myself Am the primary cause of everything in existence …. Everything originates from Me, regardless of whether it is the life of the creature or the blissfulness of the most elevated spirits …. And thus ‘the Word’, too, originates from Me, which first appears as thought in the human being but has to be voluntarily seized by the person. And then he will be able to deal with it and use it according to his will.

Thus, intellectual thinking cannot generate a thought but it can choose and receive the thought currents surrounding it. The intellect can deflect or pick-up inflowing thought waves, which can be easily understood if you compare it to the transmission and reception activity developed by you humans in radio technology …. The transmissions come forth from a higher Will or Being and can be received by every person but do not forcibly impose themselves if a person opposes them: And because this is determined by the person’s will, the will is influenced from a good as well as an evil side …. You should know that you are always surrounded by all kinds of thought waves …. by those coming from Me, which are conveyed to you by the world of light that works according to My will, but also by those which certainly originally emerged from Me, yet which, through deliberately using strength in order to oppose Me and their thinking ability, were shaped adversely and are now also sent to you by this power …. once again demanding your will, which can accept but also reject them. And so you are also able, by virtue of your free will, to use the thought currents from the world of light wrongly, that is, your thinking ability can take a negative attitude towards these thoughts if you hand yourselves over to the adversary by isolating yourselves from Me. The beings of light will never abandon you, they will always try to influence you, but they cannot prevent you from taking My adversary’s side. However, were you unable to give the thoughts sent to you from the world of light another direction, you would not possess free will either, you would more or less be compelled to think correctly and no error would exist in the world …. Thus, you must use your thinking ability, you must form some kind of opinion of what first affects you as a thought …. And that gives you the impression that you ‘create’ the thoughts yourselves …. In that case, however, your ‘thinking’ would be very restricted, it would constantly revolve around the same thing, around that which can be seen by your eyes and touched by your hands, because you are also physically limited. But that which is limitless in you …. your soul …. is indeed in contact with Me and constantly receives the evidence of belonging to Me …. It can also make unrestricted use of My influx according to its will …. this is why the human being by virtue of his thinking ability is also able to do what he likes with the thoughts sent to him …. thus he can think correctly or wrongly …. And the guarantee for correct thinking is offered to him by Me Myself, he need only make conscious contact with Me. If he fails to do so he is subject to My adversary’s influence, and then darkness prevails over light …. and everything the human being does in this dependence on him will be wrong and opposed to My divine order ….

Amen

You came forth from My strength, and all strength which emanates from Me flows back to Me again. And thus you cannot remain distant from Me forever, you will irrevocably take the path of return, even if this requires a long time, because it is an irrevocable law that the strength emanating from Me will return to Me again. But in what period of time this happens is not determined, because it depends on how long the strength remains ineffective …. which therefore means long distance from Me. And the ineffectiveness is caused by the free will of the beings which originated from Me, but just as free will also has to cancel the ineffectiveness, but then the now again active strength will also strive towards Me. Now you yourselves are this beingness which emerged from Me, which abused its free will and thus you yourselves …. as radiated power …. as it were, into something dead, which could no longer work, which became incapable of activity. But according to My law of eternal order this strength must one day become active again. And therefore I transformed this frozen strength …. yourselves …. into creations of a different kind …. to creations in which the strength could not work arbitrarily but had to submit to My law of eternal order again …. while I allowed the once emanated essence to work completely freely. Thus the strength which was now bound in the works of creation had to become active again, and at first only very minimally but always increasingly testifying to its effectiveness. This made the return to Me possible. But it is not enough for Me that the strength merely works according to My will, I want the once created being to work according to its own will, but that this will urges the being to unite with Me again in order to now be able to create and work without limitation for its own happiness. And that is why I withdraw My will again at a certain stage, and that is when the once fragmented forces have united again through the course of creation and the being which once came forth from Me can be placed into the state of free will, in which it is now to prove to itself which direction free will now takes. The cycle of strength once emanated by Me is now almost complete, the being can reach Me again in a very short time …. But the cycle can now also be interrupted again, the being can prevent its strength from being effective again if it steps out of My eternal order and re-establishes the state where it is in inner resistance to Me and thereby also causes the effectiveness of the strength from Me to falter again …. because My divine emanation can only work in lawful order, in union with Me, through constant influx from My eternal original source. Any distance from Me reduces the effect of strength and delays the return of strength to Me …. But the fact that every strength will return to Me again one day is likewise a law of divine order, only it is not insignificant how long the strength remains distant from Me …. It is therefore not insignificant because the beingness once emanated by Me is also unhappy as long as it is isolated from Me. And this isolation has to be lifted by the being itself, namely when it has overcome the deepest depths through My love and grace and is in possession of free will again in the stage as a human being. For I do not fetch the beings back for Me by force, I only help them to overcome the greatest distance from Me …. but then it must strive towards the place of origin again in complete free will. The being as a human being must seek unification with Me, its God and father, the once emanated strength must flow back to the original source of strength …. The union must take place, which will then bring unlimited bliss to the being, which will never end again ….

Amen

If you have the grace to be addressed by Me then open your ears and heart to My words, let them penetrate and work within you, and then you will evaluate a gift in the right way and experience the greatest blessing from it. You just have to give up all inner resistance, you have to free yourselves from prejudices, you have to willingly allow My voice to touch you and then you will also recognize by whom you have been addressed. But every resistance makes you unable to recognize this. Faith is not demanded beforehand but only the abandonment of all resistance. But faith will then come because you will feel the effect of My address. And this is all I want to achieve, that you give Me the opportunity to address you. For I do not force you, it must be your completely free will to listen to Me or to listen to the one who brings you My word as My mediator. I speak to you through a human being but it is not his words which you hear, instead you hear Me Myself …. but only if you don’t oppose him, if you listen to his words without defending yourselves. All of you humans cannot yet grasp the love which prompts Me to speak to you …. And you don’t want to believe that My direct address can touch your ear …. You cannot imagine that your God and creator seeks contact with His creatures …. You consider this God of yours to be far away, and you are also very distant from Him as far as your spiritual state is concerned …. But I try to reduce this distance by addressing you and telling you that you must approach Me yourselves, that your will determines how great the distance between us is. You must try to reduce the great distance yourselves, but I help you and also give you the means which you only need to use in order to approach Me again. You have distanced yourselves from Me but I am always willing to accept you again, and I show you My willingness by speaking to you even though you turned away from Me of your own free will. And you can hear Me …. I offer you an unusual gift of grace because the end is near, because you all only have a short time left to cover the path of return to Me, and because you therefore have to hurry so that the end will not surprise you at an even greater distance from Me. People have always been able to hear My voice but in the end time it will come through louder because the noise of the world has also become unusually loud and can easily drown out My voice. And therefore you humans will also be unusually addressed by Me revealing Myself to individual people and instructing them to take care of the spreading of My revelations. For everything shall be tried to touch people’s hearts, for what the ear alone hears has no effect on the human being’s will, who must seek close unity with Me in order to still be able to fulfil his earthly task in the short time until the end. Obvious help has to be given to people, for they are all weak in faith …. They are unable to recognize Me Myself and their close relationship with Me, they only see the world and consider their earthly life an end in itself, they walk along unaware of their actual earthly task and leave this earth without any spiritual success. But I want them to attain life in this short earthly lifetime, that they gain faith in Me and know their actual purpose. And therefore I reveal Myself again and again and convey this knowledge to them …. And if they only let Me speak to them once they will also feel in their hearts that I love them and only want to help them to live …. But anyone who rejects My servants also rejects Me Myself, for these servants do not speak but I speak through them. But anyone who listens to them also knows that he will attain life, for at the same time as he receives My word he will also receive the strength to be able to accomplish a change in his life …. He will turn towards Me, he will strive to come closer to Me and I will draw him as soon as his gaze is turned towards Me. And then the way back to Me will also be assured, the vast distance will become ever smaller, he will intimately join Me …. He has found his way home to the father and will now remain with Him forever ….

Amen

You must be willing to give everything if you want to be true servants to Me, if you want to serve Me with the zeal which your work in My vineyard requires. You don’t know how necessary your activity is in the last days before the end, but again and again I have to emphasize that everything has to be done in order to still bring help where salvation is possible. The work for Me and My kingdom requires self-conquest, that is, a putting aside of earthly desires and pleasures, because all time for it is lost and yet you humans don’t have much time left until the end. For this does not only mean the end of this earth but also the hour of death, which can happen to every person sooner than he thinks. And it is extremely difficult to achieve in the kingdom of the beyond what the human being can still easily achieve on earth: the bond with Me through a living faith …. As soon as you, as My servants, can only achieve the one success that people seriously consider their death and the life of their soul after their death, as soon as you can only motivate them to establish the right relationship with Me, as soon as you can only awaken or revive their faith in Me, then great work will have been successfully accomplished and the further development in the kingdom of the beyond will no longer be doubtful when the human being is unexpectedly called away from earth. And thus in order to be able to accomplish this work you need strength and love for your fellow human beings, for you have to take care of them with patience and perseverance, which often requires you to put your own wishes aside. You cannot proclaim My gospel enough, you cannot scatter enough of the seed, and you should seize every opportunity where this is possible for you. For you don’t know when each individual will be called away from earth, and therefore you should carry out the work of love on everyone I lead you into the path to impart spiritual good to him. Only diligent vineyard work can succeed in opening hearts for My word, for only living ‘representatives of God’ are able to stir human hearts and cause them to seriously reflect. For the dead proclaimers of the word will have little success, for they are lukewarm, useless servants who lack the right seriousness because they themselves lack living faith. The spiritual adversity has to be recognized and it has to be tackled with a firm will to remedy it ….. And you, who have freely offered yourselves to Me for service, you know about this adversity and also have the opportunity and the means to remedy it, for you possess My word and can pass this on …. You can enlighten your fellow human beings and also point out their actual earthly task to them, you can also impart knowledge to them which can make them thoughtful and determine their will to hand themselves over to Me …. And then you will truly have achieved great success, and you will have been efficient servants to Me, for then you will have done a work of redemption and the soul will already be able to pass over into the kingdom of the beyond with a certain degree of freedom when the hour of death has come. And you can still bring salvation to many a soul through diligent vineyard work, but you must not become lukewarm and indifferent, for there is not much time left for all of you. But anyone who is willing to give everything will also receive an abundance of strength in order to be able to carry out this redemptive work. He will always find it easier to detach himself from the world, from earthly pleasures and desires, the more eagerly he devotes himself to the work for Me and My kingdom …. And in the end only this work will make him happy, because it will provide him with spiritual strength which he will use again and again according to My will for the salvation of those who are in greatest danger of losing their spiritual and earthly lives ….

Amen

You are in spiritual bondage as long as your fellow human beings force your will, as long as you are not given the right to make your own free decisions. Consequently, it cannot ever be My intention for you to be under threat of eternal punishment or be obliged to accept or reject what is prescribed to you …. You should make an entirely free decision, because your free will should decide, hence each individual person should make his own decision because this determines the soul’s fate after death. I Myself will not force you, neither have I given you any commandments which could restrict your free will …. Because even My commandment of love requires your free will, since love may not be compelled, which should be self-evident to every person. But only love will develop the knowledge of truth …. And thus you humans cannot benefit when it is specified what you should believe, what you should accept as truth …. because only a person living with love will be able to assess whether the doctrines given to you will correspond to the truth …. And this assessment has to be undertaken by every person himself, he may not be prevented from doing so by prohibition or commandments …. Because the latter is ‘spiritual coercion’. The consequence of such coercion is that people are living by a variety of misguided teachings and will not make their own effort to find their way out for fear of threatened ‘punishment’.

Every human being is entitled to his freedom of thought, and only his own assessment can result in happiness. Every dogmatic set of guidelines is spiritual coercion, irrespective of whether it is true or not. I constantly offer you humans the pure truth but I do not force you to accept it …. precisely because you should make your own free decision during your earthly life. And coercive measures are always an admission of weakness, of inability, to make people achieve an objective by other means. Anyone who genuinely wants to serve Me should, with much love, try to draw other people’s attention to the benefit of thinking and acting correctly. Time and again he should preach to them My Gospel of love, he should urge them to conduct themselves with love but refrain from all coercive measures. He can ask his fellow human beings to repeatedly listen to the proclamation of the divine Word …. he should remind them to do so kind-heartedly, but he should not make them do so under threat of divine punishment or use the commandments to force them …. because this is not in accordance with My will. For this reason I cannot agree with humanly decreed ecclesiastical laws which all merely impel a performance of duty but frequently undermine the voluntary dedication to Me …. And I can even less approve the prevention of inspecting the spiritual literature of other schools of thought …. Because every person should also be allowed to consider its truth, and he will also be able to do so if he is sincere in his desire for truth and asks Me Myself for assistance ….

Freedom of thought and free will are decisive for a successful earthly life of a person, because I only value the results of free will, whereas anything that was imposed as a duty or fulfilment of a commandment is worthless before My eyes. Anyone who is making an effort to live a life of love will also clearly recognise that love alone is the crucial factor for the human being to live in truth …. Then he will also realise that all commandments have become null and void because a loving person will act in accordance with My will by himself. He will also know that every person has to struggle with himself so as to be able to make a decision based on free will. Because love alone is the bond with Me, Who is love Itself, and as soon as he walks the earthly path with Me, due to his life of love, his will is also directed such that he will no longer require any human commandments …. As far as I Am concerned you are free at all times …. but My adversary will forcefully try to gain you for himself. And since he is unable to force you himself he will attempt to achieve it through people who belong to him …. Therefore reject all coercion because it is always a sign of he who intends to corrupt you ….

Amen

Only that which helps your soul to attain full maturity can be beneficial for you. If only you always strove towards that which is useful for your soul then I would also take appropriate care of your body, for I gave you the assurance that I will look after you like the birds in the sky and the flowers in the field. You would truly not need to worry about ‘tomorrow’ if you considered your soul’s salvation paramount, if you sincerely sought Me and My kingdom. But you humans have forgotten what is most important, your thoughts are fully and completely occupied with the world, with your body’s well-being, and thus you are burdened by worries and problems, you let yourselves ever more increasingly be diverted from your actual task on earth, you pay constantly more attention to the world and only create and work for your transient part and don’t consider your soul. For you don’t believe My Words that I will add everything unto you if you first seek My kingdom and its righteousness …. You don’t take these Words seriously and therefore don’t test their truthfulness either. But I have only given you earthly life so that your soul should mature, for the body will perish, but the soul will exist forever. And the soul should …. not being entirely capable of living …. attain life on earth. This awakening into life should be brought about by you. That is the purpose of your existence as a human being …. and in order that you will be able to accomplish your purpose, you will be supported by Me in every way …. Excessive worry about your body should not hinder the work of improving your soul, for this reason I take care of the former as long as you regard your actual task as more important, as soon as you ‘seek My kingdom and its righteousness’. Then you will truly not lack anything, you will be taken care of both physically and spiritually, for I look after your body as well as after your soul and I will provide abundantly, because I love you and want to win your love as well.

However, people remain permanently burdened because they don’t give credence to My Words nor do they try to procure the evidence of the truth, on the contrary, they completely ignore the soul’s life because they neither strive to reach Me and My kingdom nor want to help their souls to attain a more bearable state. For they have no faith in Me …. Therefore they often have to endure severe suffering; they must go through physical hardship because they don’t believe in My promise and faithfully wait for My help, because the well-being of their soul is not their priority and therefore they won’t let Me Myself as a Father take care of His children. A little more faith in My Word could manage to achieve a considerable change in people’s spiritual state, for as soon as people seriously strive towards Me and My kingdom, they would also keep My easy commandments of love, they would treat their neighbour with love and thus live completely righteously and remain within the divine order. In that case they would already have taken possession of My kingdom and accepted Me, because love would drive them to Me …. I would be able to provide them with everything they need for body and soul, for both physical as well as spiritual possessions could be given to them, as I have promised. Nevertheless, no-one will be forced to believe, but the Word of the Gospel will be recited to everyone ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you ….’ And every person can spend serious thoughts on this Word; he can make his earthly life easier for himself if he trusts in Me and My Word. First I expect his dedication to Me, which I will then reward him by taking care of his earthly worries, since he will now be a true aspirant for My kingdom. But as long as the human being regards his physical well-being of greater importance than his psychological development he will barely find time to consider his soul, for the body’s demands will increase and discard every silent admonition on part of the soul, and the soul will go short and be badly withered at the end of its life on this earth …. for it was unable to gather riches, since the body took precedence. But regardless of what earthly wealth a person has attained and acquired …. he must leave it all behind when the hour of death arrives. The soul, however, will enter the kingdom of the beyond in a bare and deprived state, because the human being had neglected to do in his earthly life what is most important: to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness ….

Amen

Faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation is increasingly disappearing the closer the end approaches; the activity of God’s adversary solely intends to keep people away from the divine Saviour to prevent their calling on Him, because then the adversary will have lost the entitlement to their souls, because then Jesus Christ Himself will step between him and the person who calls to Him for help. And thus in the end time it can be very clearly noticed that faith in Jesus Christ is repeatedly counteracted from all directions …. that everything is done to stop the knowledge of Him and His act of Salvation. Admittedly, it will not be entirely successful because God’s activity is also visibly evident, Who time and again proclaims Jesus Christ through His Word. But the adversary will cause much harm amongst people and will spare no means in achieving his objective. And since human beings hardly ever practise love, since their love has grown cold, it is easy for God’s adversary to destroy faith in Jesus Christ, because even where it still faintly exists it is nevertheless not sufficiently alive to resist the adversary’s temptations. People without love succumb to him because their spirit is dark and for this very reason the adversary has an easy time.

But he uses dishonest means …. He oversteps his permitted authority …. For although he does everything to cause people’s downfall, without being prevented by God due to the human being’s test of free will, he nevertheless does not have the right to stop people from receiving knowledge of God, Who embodied Himself in Jesus Christ on earth to redeem humanity …. Where two opponents fight each other, i.e. where human beings should freely choose between one power and another, they also have to know about both powers and their characteristics, activities and goals, otherwise it is impossible to make a free decision. And hence God’s adversary may not cause disorder on earth for much longer, because He, Who is mightier than him, Whom all powers of heaven and earth have to obey, will put a stop to his activities because he is overstepping his authority. Therefore it is of particular importance during the end time to provide people with the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer …. And everyone who wants to serve God should consider this task a priority, they should counteract the adversary’s activity by it, they should inform people of the One to Whom they should turn if they don’t want to fall into the hands of their enemy and destroyer. Because he does not want to get people in order to make them happy …. he only wants to turn them away from God so as not to lose followers who, in his view, are his whole power.

And the state of affairs in this world is sad, only a few people still have a living faith in the divine Redeemer because most people only speak dead words without spirit and life when they describe themselves as Christians to their fellow human beings …. but they have no living bond with Him, and therefore they are not yet redeemed either and fall prey to the adversary as soon as a serious decision for or against Jesus Christ has to be made. And this decision will be demanded …. Because the adversary also successfully induces the people in his bondage into proceeding ruthlessly against everyone who has faith. And then they will have to confess openly and before the world their relationship with their Saviour and Redeemer. They will have no more choice …. and only those few will stand firm who, with living faith, turn to Him for help. But those who fail this last decision are only to blame themselves because they are all given the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and the divine teaching of love is not unknown to any human being either …. And if only they would accept and exemplify the latter their faith would also be awakened or reinforced, and they would not be without strength to resist. Yet every human being’s will is free, but it also results in appropriate consequences ….

Amen

And even if it seems to you as if you are approaching a period of peace, you should not let yourselves be deceived …. it is only the calm before the storm and sooner than you think there will be changes in the face of those who speak of peace but start to throw the torch amongst the nations of this earth. The lull is dangerous for you because you get drowsy and in this state only value your earthly existence …. Therefore, I will continue to disturb people from their tranquillity in order to keep them awake. And thus much more will happen still, time and again people’s attention will be drawn to accidents and disasters of all kinds. In addition to the apparent progress and earthly prosperity people will also have to take part in such events where human strength does not suffice to avoid them. They should learn to realise that no-one is safe from such blows of fate, no matter how secure his earthly life appears to be.

Do not be fooled by the world situation which seems to calm down, for they are all deceptive machinations, and you might get a rude awakening if you trust this calm and ignore every caution that points to the end. The change will come suddenly, and then you all should be prepared and thus believe that the turning point will come. You will be able to observe many signs of the last days, but at the same time My adversary will throw sand into your eyes too …. For he does not want you to believe in an end, to take serious stock of yourselves and change. For this reason he also influences his servants to make people believe that they are approaching a new, glorious future in peace and joy. And he succeeds, for people will always rather believe what they can observe themselves than what is proclaimed to them from the spiritual kingdom. In any case, they rather want to believe in a beautiful and happy future for themselves in an earthly sense than in an end of this earth.

But I will not stop warning and cautioning you, for it does not merely concern the few years of your earthly life but it concerns eternity …. And My admonitions will become increasingly more urgent the more an evident ‘calm’ spreads across the earth …. the more people accept a seemingly peaceful existence and forget their good intentions, which they might perhaps have already taken due to the constant references to the approaching end. By using the world My adversary will once more extend his tentacles to people, and it requires a strong faith not to fall prey to his power.

For this reason I will draw your attention time and again to what still awaits you …. Don’t let yourselves be deceived …. My Word is truth and will come to pass, and My Word tells you of an approaching end, which is preceded by a distinct intervention by Me, a natural disaster on an huge scale …. And this catastrophe will surprise the believers of peace, and even then they could still turn around and take the short path until the end in constant striving for perfection ….

But this catastrophe will cost untold human lives …. And how do you know whether you are not amongst them? Whether it is not already too late for you, who live indifferently and with future hope and allowed yourselves to be dazzled by the prince of this world? Therefore you should always remember My Word when you hear about people’s sudden death, about misfortunes and all kinds of human suffering. I thereby want to remind you all of a sudden end, I want to turn your attention to the Power Which can destroy everything you fabricate, and Which can ruin all your plans …. Unite yourselves more with this Power …. find the path to Me, entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for right guidance, for protection and mercy, and believe that there is only peace in unity with Me …. that you will be deceived when earthly peace is promised to you. For humanity no longer lives such that it can have a peaceful earthly existence, it no longer strives for spiritual development and therefore has also lost the right to live on this earth ….

Amen

Countless worlds have already come into being through My will, and countless worlds will still arise …. For the work of the spiritual’s return requires them, because all once-fallen spiritual has to be integrated into the process of activity again if it wants to come close to Me again. And every single world gives this spiritual substance the opportunity to become active, even if My will is decisive for the time being and assigns it the activity which slowly helps the fallen spirits to ascend again. All worlds only serve the one purpose of returning the once fallen spiritual substance, and all worlds are therefore governed by My will, they are subject to My law of order, they testify to My love, My wisdom and My might. Nevertheless, their original substance is spiritual substance which has fallen away from Me, thus it still belongs to My adversary, but at the moment of the creation of these worlds I withdrew the power over this spiritual substance, otherwise it would forever no longer be able to ascend from the abyss to the height …. My adversary, however, knows about the endless number of those who followed him into the abyss, and this knowledge strengthens his adversarial attitude towards Me, it strengthens his belief that he will one day be able to dethrone Me, and it strengthens his hatred because I have wrested a large part of his following from him which, bound in the works of creation, has taken the path of return. And therefore he does not cease to exert his destructive influence, that is, to work towards destroying as many works of creation as possible in the belief that he can then release the bound from them and take possession of them again himself …. It is not possible for him to destroy those works of creation because he has no power over them. But he exerts his destructive influence at the time when that spiritual substance has reached the final stage where it is in possession of free will again, which My adversary has the right to influence, because the once fallen spiritual substance shall now freely decide for Me or for My adversary. And at this time he not only seeks to regain the human being himself but through him he also seeks to seize the still bound spiritual by trying to determine him to destroy creations which My love let arise in order to help the spiritual to return to Me. The adversary’s domain is the earth inhabited by people, and in this domain he works in a truly satanic way. People are the target of his activity, for he can only exert his influence on them, for he has no access to the other works of creation, to the countless worlds in the universe. But he believes that he can still find access to those worlds, but he will never succeed. But he also transfers his confused thinking to people …. He also tries to persuade them that they can take possession of other worlds, and he also finds servants in bondage to him who adopt these thoughts and strive for the same as he. He also confuses their thinking and lets them make the most unbelievable attempts to break through previous barriers in order to explore worlds which are inaccessible to them. The adversary makes them believe that he can break down these barriers, and he is also listened to when he drives people into completely pointless research. For all such research is not aimed at spiritual development and can therefore never correspond to My will. And they will have an even less destructive effect on works of creation which I let arise outside of earth …. precisely because neither My adversary nor the human being possess the right of rulership over those creations, because My will also guarantees the existence of every work of creation until I Myself deem the time to have come when its purpose is fulfilled and it can be dissolved again into pure spiritual substance …. (18.11.1957) However, the adversary’s efforts will take on an increasingly more threatening form the closer the end is. He drives people to attempts which even accelerate an end of this earth …. These experiments take place on earth and have an effect on earth itself. Although people’s aim is the spheres outside of this earth, what they will achieve is obvious evidence of satanic influence, for the living conditions on earth will change, harmful air changes will be created for people and animals against their will; and the earth itself will become a source of fire which will one day also claim its victims …. For the destruction of this earth is My adversary’s main aim …. And since people are already strongly addicted to him he will also succeed, yet without bringing him the slightest advantage. For he does not win back his followers but loses them all the more surely …. His aim is the destruction of the creations I let come into being for the purpose of returning the spiritual. And he will achieve much through people on this earth but he will never be able to destroy the other worlds created by Me because he lacks the power to do so himself and is only allowed to influence the spirits if they live on earth as human beings. And thus you can gather from this that the adversary will not be able to take possession of the universe either …. and thus neither will the people who devise such plans and believe they can control areas in space by virtue of their intelligence …. They can certainly make attempts and keep expanding their attempts but they will inevitably come to death when they step out of the realm of this earth. Yet this is also My adversary’s purpose, that no creative authority will be recognized anymore, that people will deem themselves capable of investigating every law of nature and that the distance between people and Me will constantly increase …. He will achieve much but he will not be able to intervene in My plan of creation and salvation. He will only cause hopeless confusion in the thinking of all those who are already in his power and blindly follow his instructions …. until finally his activity takes on such forms that people themselves put the globe in danger, that they experiment without a second thought and …. since I am completely eliminated from their thoughts …. trigger an all-destroying catastrophe which means the end of this earth and every living creature on it. Before that I will give people a serious warning which alone could make them realize the absurdity of their plan: I will send them a warning from outer space, I will bring the earth into a danger which will be triggered without human influence …. I will let a celestial body step out of its orbit which you humans will not be able to resist, which you are powerlessly at its mercy …. in order to show you that it is I alone Who rules the world and all creations moving within it. And thereby you could still come to an understanding and give up your plan. But you are already too much a slave to My adversary, and thus the end will come as it is proclaimed …. The earth will ignite and people themselves will be the cause of it because they follow the one who wants to destroy and ruin everything ….

Amen

When doubts creep into your hearts about the truthfulness of the divine word, when you fall into uncertainty, when it is necessary to stand up for it …. when the inner joy of working in the vineyard of the lord leaves you, then you know that you are severely harassed by God’s adversary who takes advantage of every weak hour to make you incapable of your God-serving task. But you have support in Jesus Christ …. don’t forget that …. If you call upon Him, He will confront the adversary and He will certainly push him back and not let your work for Him be endangered. But Jesus Christ demands one thing from you: that you completely hand yourselves over to Him, that you are willing to detach yourselves from the world and thus from your adversary, who is the lord of this world. You will understand this when you consider that the adversary still has a claim on you as long as you still take pleasure in the world, and that he can then also still exert his influence on you in the form of what your heart is still attached to. And you all still have an inclination towards this world, even if your thoughts are mainly directed towards the spiritual kingdom. But they still often stray, and God’s adversary then uses this to work on you in his will in order to alienate you more and more from the spiritual kingdom. But devotion to Jesus Christ protects you from him and you will be able to resist every temptation …. For Jesus Christ is the victor over him, He has the power to push him away from you if you seriously want this. Jesus Christ is your redeemer from sin and death, He brings you salvation of the soul, He stands ready for your protection and leaves no-one in His adversary’s hands who calls upon Him in the battle against him. But the adversary will also let up in his oppressions if you are at his beck and call, if you turn to him again through the desire for the world …. Then he will give you what you desire, and then you will be in serious danger of falling into his power again and turning away more and more from the spiritual kingdom. And thus only your serious will is necessary to be the property of your divine redeemer Jesus Christ. Then he will have to let go of you and you will be saved for time and eternity. These words are addressed to all people who are in physical and spiritual distress, for as soon as they endeavour to live a life according to God’s will they are also exposed to constant temptations from the adversary, which are understandably particularly strong for those who have offered themselves to God for service. And so they are also often unusually harassed, but all have the one at their side Who is truly their protection and shield in every adversity. Only call upon Him in sincerity and hand yourselves over to Him will lead you out of all adversity and you will be freed from all kinds of temptations ….

Amen

The work of redemption began with the emergence of the creations in the universe …. it began with binding the hardened spiritual substance in the form, thus with the shaping of material forms which at first were spiritual in substance themselves and then also sheltered spiritual substances within themselves which had already gone through a certain process of development. The spirits which once had deserted God had distanced themselves from Him to a point that God’s strength was no longer able to touch them, therefore they became immobile and rigid, they became hardened in themselves. And during this time they belonged to God’s adversary and would never have changed their situation. But it was God’s plan to provide these hardened spirits with an opportunity to attain a state of splendour which surpassed their past beatitude by far …. God wanted to shape His ‘living creations’ into ‘children’ …. which, however, had to be achieved by the creature itself. Hence the created being, which had rebelled against God in free will and consequently fell abysmally low, had the opportunity to completely voluntarily ascend to maturity again in order to then be able to achieve the work of deification …. but it had to be lifted out of the abyss since it was no longer capable of ascending by itself due to its total lack of strength. And God provided this help for the fallen spirits by letting the creation arise, by shaping the hardened spiritual substance through His will into many different kinds of creations. And with these creations began the redemption or the return of the spirits to God.

Now the fallen spirits were guaranteed ascension up to a certain level, because divine will is the decisive factor in this plan of creation and the adversary has no influence whatsoever on the bound spiritual substances within the works of creation.

Even the continued ascent as a human being would have been guaranteed had the first human beings faithfully lived according to God’s easy commandment and resisted the temptations by God’s opponent …. for which the first human beings, Adam and Eve, certainly had the strength …. But since they were allowed to use their free will and let themselves be beguiled by the adversary, they failed and thereby made the work of redemption far more difficult for the whole of humanity than it should have been had they used their will correctly. Hence the people who followed were considerably weakened by this sin of the first human beings, they no longer had the strength which the former had at their disposal and to a certain extent carried the burden of this sin, so God’s adversary had achieved a great deal:

He endangered the prospect of people …. the once fallen original spirits …. ever attaining the final goal of deification. And therefore God provided help for them again …. He sent His Son to earth, i.e., a supreme being of light started his process on earth in order to fulfil the conditions as a human being which the first people neglected to fulfil and which devastated them …. He thereby wanted to help them escape their state of weakness, He wanted to enable them again to reach the deification. It was the man Jesus in Whom the Divine Love Itself took abode …. the Father Who wanted to help His children liberate themselves form the adversary and to come back to Him …. He sent His Son to earth, a being Who likewise emerged from His creative strength and Who had to enter a human shell in order to first become a vessel for the eternal Spirit of God Who in this human form wanted to bring salvation to His living creations. But again the human being’s free will remains decisive …. For now he first has to acknowledge the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and accept His redeeming help if he wants to reach the goal of unification with God, of childship to God, which is a state of supreme perfection and beatitude. All fallen spirits are able to reach the highest pinnacle, because the act of Salvation by the man Jesus has demonstrated that a human being’s will is able to offer resistance to his opponent and arch enemy, that love is the strength of resistance which everyone can kindle in himself …. and because every human being need only appeal to the divine Redeemer for help in order to then also emerge as a conqueror of death and attain the life which can only be found in unity with God …. and which also proves the release from God’s adversary, who only ever endeavours to keep all created beings in the abyss, in the state of death. Hence ‘redemption’ means ‘release’ from the one who brought death into the world, redemption means accepting Jesus Christ’s help, for without him the human being is weak as a result of the original sin and the sin of his ancestral parents, which were only atoned for by Jesus Christ’s death on the cross ….

Amen

If you ask how you can attain faith, this is already a sign that you want to believe and that you are looking for a path which will lead you to the aim. In times of earthly adversity you humans all need support, for then you feel that you are too weak on your own, that your physical strength alone is not enough, and then you would also like to believe that you could entrust yourselves to a higher power, but this faith is usually lacking. For you cannot acquire it through your intellect, you cannot intellectually create evidence for what you want to believe in …. in a power with Whom you are most closely connected, Whose will determines your destiny, Who is a being of supreme perfection and Who draws close to you when you call upon It. But you can cause this supreme being to prove Itself to you, and It will give you the inner conviction of that which cannot be proven intellectually. For this supreme being reveals Himself to the human being in many ways. But It places conditions on it: the acknowledgement of Itself, the creator-spirit, from Whom everything emerged, the serious desire for truth …. and a way of life in love …. These conditions are indispensable for this creative power …. God Himself …. will enter into contact with you and help you to a convinced faith. The rational man will constantly look for proofs and reject everything that cannot be proven …. He never steps out of the world he has intellectually built within himself into another world, and he therefore cannot recognize the latter either, it remains hidden from him. But it can be entered by every person who lives in love …. For through his life of love he already establishes the connection with the eternal love Itself, Which he is unable to deny with conviction, and love Itself then guides him into the truth he desires. But you humans are very far away from the truth because love has grown cold in you. And therefore you are no longer able to believe, everything you are asked to believe seems unreal to you; you only move with your thoughts in the real world, and despite eager intellectual activity you remain empty and poor in spiritual knowledge …. of the knowledge that reveals the ultimate meaning of all things …. yes, you even presume to reject the great revelation of God in Jesus Christ, His incarnation in Jesus, into the realm of legend. You do not give in to the quiet impulses within you to let the heart speak for once instead of the intellect. You try to meet everything with reason, which only the heart can judge …. because your heart is no longer able to do so due to a lack of love. The mission of the man Jesus, apart from the act of salvation, also consisted of living a life of love to people …. because such alone helps to enlighten the spirit, because a life of love is indispensable in order to come close to the truth and to develop all forces in the human being which testify to a divine origin. Love was preached by Jesus, the disciples were instructed to spread the divine teaching of love. And this doctrine of love is the foundation on which the christian religions were also built …. But so little attention is paid to this teaching of love that it is understandable why people’s spiritual state is darkened, why faith mostly does not go beyond a formal belief and why divine revelations are repeatedly attacked or rejected as untrustworthy. Love alone is the key to truth, and love cannot be replaced by worldly wisdom, no matter how great, by intellect, no matter how sharp …. for love alone is the irrefutable bond with God, Who unites Himself with the human being in every work of love, Who allows His spirit to overflow onto the human being who, through love, assimilates himself to His original being …. And God can and will reveal Himself to this human being, He will let him gain insight into areas which are inaccessible to the human intellect, He will enlighten his spirit and give him fullest understanding for profoundest wisdoms and for His plan of salvation and its reason ….

Amen
