God's rightful representatives on earth ….

B.D. 7585 from April 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Living ‘representatives of God’ on earth must be filled by My spirit otherwise they cannot serve Me in the right way. For they shall speak in My stead if they want to be My true representatives, and therefore they must speak as My spirit announces to them …. they must allow Me Myself to speak through them and thus address people directly …. They have to fulfil the conditions which allow the working of the spirit in them: they have to live in love themselves and lively believe that I reveal Myself to those who prepare themselves, and they have to constantly seek intimate contact with Me in order to be able to hear Me Myself within themselves. My true representatives on earth are driven by My spirit, for as soon as they are in living contact with Me My will is theirs and they cannot help but speak what I want to say to people. My true representatives must be filled by My spirit …. then they will also be able to give to their listeners what touches their hearts, because then I will speak to them Myself and My word will truly penetrate the heart when the human being longs for ‘God’s word’ …. This is why My word can be heard everywhere on condition that the proclaimer first makes such heartfelt contact with Me that I Myself speak through him. And such intimate contact also includes love, otherwise the preacher does not desire to establish the bond with Me but speaks to his listeners out of his intellect and these words do not find an echo in their hearts …. unless the longing for My word is so strong in a person that I Myself want to address this person and then he also withdraws the strength from the word of God. However, the knowledge of the working of the spirit has been lost to people and even the proclaimers of the divine word lack the understanding for it. They don’t believe that I speak to people Myself, that I only use the right instrument to address people directly …. They don’t believe that God always reveals Himself in every way, that He speaks directly to a person who fulfils the conditions I attach to a direct reception of the word …. And because they don’t believe in it themselves, they don’t make themselves a receptacle for My spirit either …. And then they are also not suitable to work as My ‘representatives’ on earth, for a true representative has to serve Me as a mouthpiece, he has to let Me speak through himself so that people will receive ‘God’s word’ in truth, for the proclaimers shall speak in My stead, they shall not submit their own intellectual work to people, they shall only ever hear what I Myself speak to them …. they shall let My spirit work in them …. But where faith in My working of the spirit is lacking, a person cannot claim to be ‘My representative on earth’ either, for only the working of My spirit in him stamps him as such. And this office can never be transferred from one person to another, no person can ever feel called to elevate a fellow human being to a ‘representative of God’ on earth, for this office belongs to Me alone. I choose My servants for Myself, I send the disciples into the world, I Myself speak through those who have prepared themselves to be a receiving vessel of My spirit …. I choose the right representatives for Myself on earth, for I know who is suitable for such an office, I know who serves Me as a mouthpiece, who completely enters into My will, who unites with Me so intimately that I can speak to people through him. And people will also recognize for themselves if and when they feel addressed by a sermon, for the right representative will find the right words which touch their hearts. Yet there are only a few of them, and yet I cannot deviate from My condition that the working of the spirit is necessary if proper vineyard work is to be done. Anyone who wants to work for Me and in My stead must have an awakened spirit or he will not be able to pass on the truth to his fellow human beings which originates from Me Myself. But without truth the path to Me is blocked, for no human being will be able to reach Me by the path of error …. But the truth is conveyed to you humans by the spirit from Me, which is why only such one in whom My spirit can work can be a true representative of Me on earth …._>Amen

Gospel of love ….

B.D. 7586 from April 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Again and again My gospel will be proclaimed to you, for I will never stop presenting the commandments of love to you because it is the most important thing in your earthly life to fulfil them. Therefore, again and again I will send you My messengers who will convey the divine teaching of love to you, again and again you will have to hear the gospel of love so that you will know My will and be able to live your life in accordance with it. I will not cease to preach love, for you can only become blessed through love alone. Your whole earthly existence is useless if you fail to work with love …. And you can still achieve earthly successes and still …. they are worthless for your soul, which can only mature through loving activity. And when I send My disciples out into the world I only give them the task of proclaiming the divine teaching of love, because this is the most important thing people need to know, because all other knowledge remains incomprehensible until the human being makes an effort to live a life of love. And so you will hear the same again and again: Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself …. And a way of life in accordance with these two commandments will be blessed, it will earn you success, you will not cover earthly life in vain but reach the aim for the purpose of which you are on earth. For the fulfilment of these commandments brings about the transformation of your nature, in your last deformation as a human being you reach the state in which you originally moved, and you can leave the form as mature, you can enter the spiritual kingdom freely and light-heartedly after the death of your body. Practicing love is the most important commandment, it is the first and most important commandment, the fulfilment of which determines your fate in eternity. Every success you achieve on earth, every knowledge, no matter how extensive, earthly honour and fame …. everything is of no value if you don’t have love in you, which first gives you the right realization, which correctly evaluates everything earthly, which leads you onto the spiritual path, the aim of which is Me Myself. For love alone leads you back to Me again, from Whom you once originated …. love alone shapes you such that you can come close to Me again, and love alone establishes the connection with Me which turns you into blissful beings. And if you ignore love your soul is dead, for love alone awakens it to life. But you shall acquire eternal life again in earthly life, which can only be found through love alone; you shall escape the state of death, you shall come to life …. And therefore I repeatedly bring My gospel to you, I address you Myself, I demonstrate the importance of the commandments of love to you, and I will never cease to send My messengers into the world with the instruction to proclaim the divine teaching of love. For your fate in eternity depends on it …. on the fulfilment of My commandments of love depends whether your earthly life is the conclusion of an infinitely long life in form, whether you will also cast off the last form and be able to enter eternity as a free spirit …. I want to help you achieve this, and that is why I speak to you again and again. And again and again it is My urgent admonition to all people: Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself …._>Amen

Blessing of the spiritual activity ….

B.D. 7587 from April 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The work for the spiritual kingdom must be continued undaunted, for every spiritual activity results in its blessing. And although fellow human beings are not receptive to it, countless souls nevertheless benefit from your spiritual activity, for the hardship in the kingdom of the beyond is immense because it is necessary to bring help in the form of light and strength to the souls which still languish in the abyss …. And this certain help means My word for them, which they can hear just as much as people on earth if they don’t completely reject it. The hardship of these souls is great, they sense that a decision lies ahead of them, that an even worse fate awaits them if they don’t strive to change their situation …. But they also have bright moments, and at times they hear words which apply to them, to which they pay attention and which can cause them to seek the outcome of those words …. And this will always happen when you, My servants on earth, carry out vineyard work, when you hear My word or pass it on, when you yourselves move it in your thoughts. Then countless souls in the spiritual kingdom will also hear these words, and for many they can signify a change of heart and an improvement of their situation, because My word is the only means of help for those souls through which they can ascend from the abyss. You don’t know how your spiritual work is pursued in the kingdom of the beyond; you don’t know that you are constantly surrounded by countless souls who are only waiting for sparks of light to flash when you are spiritually active. For your spiritual work means the offering of nourishment to them, for they are starving and long for food and drink. Therefore don’t let yourselves be depressed if your vineyard work on earth is seemingly fruitless …. It will always be successful, for no word that comes from Me will go unheard in infinity. But since the last days are about the redemption of countless souls from the abyss, these souls shall also be remembered from your side, for many souls are still close to earth and follow your activity. And to bring help to them is truly a vineyard work which is blessed by Me. What is often not appreciated by people is gratefully accepted by those souls once they have felt the strength of My word …. And you should bring My word to them as often as possible, and you should know that no spiritual work of yours is in vain and that these souls are eager listeners, that they always feel an influx of strength and are therefore also already won for My kingdom …. that they now strive upwards of their own accord once they have enjoyed this help which My word signifies to them at all times. And these souls will never turn away from you again, they will also bring other souls to you, they will receive My word as soon as you open yourselves to My word, and they will also experience blessings themselves from every spiritual activity you carry out for Me and My kingdom. No word is spoken or written in vain, every word will be heard and gratefully received by the souls in the kingdom of the beyond, for all of them desire the light, and you kindle this light for them when you work for Me and My kingdom, no matter what kind of work it is …. My word will always sound to them too, and they will always draw the strength from My word so that they can likewise be active and bring help to souls which are in the same need as they were before My word could sound to them. For this is My word’s strength, that it motivates spiritual activity …. so that again and again new souls are won for Me and My kingdom …._>Amen

Feeding the truth to earth and the spiritual realm ….

B.D. 7588 from April 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Wherever truth is desired, spiritual progress will also be achieved, for the will to be instructed in the spiritual field is recognizable. This applies to knowledge which cannot be proven but which can move a person to reflect because his thoughts often wander into spiritual territory. A worldly person, however, will not desire spiritual truth, his thoughts are exclusively turned towards the world …. But if the desire for truth is present then it is also proven that the human being has other than worldly thoughts in him, and then he is also of good will and already unconsciously strives for spiritual higher development. And such a person will truly also be offered the truth, and he will recognize it as truth. When the word of God from above is conveyed to people then it will also be imparted to those who desire truth, even if the number of them is small. Yet God knows where His word is willingly accepted, He knows whose thoughts move in the spiritual realm and where the desire for truth predominates …. He knows which people are open-minded and faithfully receive His word …. He also knows where new ground can be opened up, and He will also send His messengers to knock at their heart’s doors and offer them the gifts of their lord …. But He also knows how many souls in the spiritual kingdom are grateful for the supply of truth, and He truly considers all who merely desire to receive the truth from His hand, for this alone helps the souls to ascend in their spiritual development. And because the souls have to deal with everything on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom, the truth has to be conveyed to them again and again …. But it always requires the willingness of those souls in the spiritual kingdom or people on earth to accept it …. it necessitates the sincere desire for truth, so that they will also recognize it as such and be happy about receiving it. And thus vessels must always be available from which the truth can be drawn …. People must declare their willingness to serve as such vessels and prepare themselves accordingly …. And pure truth will be able to be conveyed, it will be directly imparted by God, His spirit will pour into such a prepared vessel, and then all who desire the gifts of the spirit will be able to feast on its contents. To receive pure truth is an unusual gift of grace from God, because truth secures the ascent of every soul. But anyone who accepts it indifferently derives no benefit from this gift of grace, his soul will remain on the same level if it does not sink back to the depths. But every soul is free to make use of a grace or not, yet it need only want to and it will receive …. it only needs to desire the truth and will also be allowed to possess it. But then it will certainly ascend, it will mature, irrespective of whether it is still on earth or already in the beyond, for as soon as it receives truth the bond with God is also established and the soul can no longer sink back into the abyss …._>Amen

"Behold, I stand at the door …."

B.D. 7589 from April 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Open wide the door of your heart when I desire entrance …. I knock at your door again and again, for I want to offer you a delicious gift; but I want to enter, you shall receive Me joyfully, you shall rejoice in My coming and desire with all your heart that I remain with you …. You shall recognize your father in Me, Who loves you and therefore wants to bring you good gifts …. You should not deny Me access to you …. This is all I ask of you, that you open the door of your heart wide to let Me enter. For this tells Me that you also show Me love, it tells Me that you have prepared the dwelling for Me in order to receive Me therein …. And now I can rule and reign in My house, and truly, it will only be for your blessing. For what I now offer you daily is food and drink for your soul, which now no longer needs to live in want, which unites with the spirit within itself and which will soon have found union with Me, because it will no longer let Me be displaced from its heart, because it is devoted to Me with all its senses and only ever wants the father to stay with His child in order to make it happy for as long as the soul lives on earth and also for eternity. Anyone who voluntarily accepts Me into his heart when I knock and desire entrance has achieved the greatest gain on earth, for he cannot be offered anything more delicious than My daily nourishment which I administer to the soul and which lets it mature already on earth. And thus I knock at all doors and seek admittance, and blessed is he who hears Me and opens his heart and prepares himself for My reception …. blessed is he who cleans and decorates the dwelling of his heart and at any time the lord can enter His house …. blessed is he who joyfully receives Me and no longer lets Me go away …. For I will never ever leave him, I will remain with him and bestow My love upon him, I will constantly speak to him and introduce him to the truth, because he has to know about it in order to attain the right knowledge, the light, without which he cannot be blissfully happy. And whose heart I was once able to take possession of belongs to Me, and I want to provide for him earthly and spiritually, for I will bring everything to him as soon as he lets Me enter his heart. For I do not come empty-handed, I have a rich cornucopia, and My gifts which I distribute will never end because I love you …. And My most delicious gift is My word …. for it is food and drink for the soul, it is My love’s pledge, it is spiritual wealth with which you will one day be able to work in the kingdom of the beyond. And everyone will have such wealth at his disposal who opens the door of his heart to Me when I desire entrance, because I never come without gifts of grace and because I always know what the soul needs most. And I knock on many a door of the heart …. but not all of them open for Me, and then I have to move on and could not bring the soul any strengthening; I could not impart any gift of grace to it, and therefore the soul’s nature remains miserable and it will also enter the kingdom of the beyond miserably when its hour has come. But it has forfeited the grace to accept Me into its heart, and one day it will bitterly regret it when it recognizes Who it was who knocked at its door without finding admittance. But I do not force My way in where the door is kept closed, I go further and only enter where I am joyfully received, where love opens the door wide for Me, where I can take abode and remain there, where the soul recognizes its God and father from Whom it never wants to leave …._>Amen

Limitation of knowledge ….

B.D. 7590 from April 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Your intellectual knowledge is subject to limitations …. Yet by way of inner enlightenment through the spirit you can gain unlimited knowledge, and this particularly applies to spiritual matters, it applies to knowledge which cannot be verified, which concerns everything of a ‘non-earthly’ nature …. For this knowledge can only be received from God Who distributes it in accordance with His wise judgment. Sharp as a person’s intellect may be …. he is unable to fathom spiritual domains, for God has reserved Himself the right to enlighten the person who asks Him for enlightenment and who also fulfils the conditions that make him worthy of an answer. But precisely this spiritual knowledge results in the person’s true understanding, which lifts him out of his state of darkness into the enlightened state of his original existence. Earthly knowledge is only of some value for the duration of earthly life, whereas spiritual knowledge remains forever.

As long as a person lacks this spiritual knowledge he lives in spiritual darkness. But he can gain this knowledge while he lives on earth …. he can achieve a state of awareness, he can receive clarification about things which his human intellect is unable to explain. He can transcend the limits of his intellect and gain knowledge which will please him and which he can take with him into eternity …. This knowledge is conveyed to him by God Himself through the spirit, providing he sincerely desires it and has fulfilled the necessary conditions: a 1iving faith in God, which he has awakened to life through deeds of love …. a sincere desire for truth and an inward listening in heart-felt contact with God, Whose Word he desires to hear. Living faith is necessary for a human being to believe that a direct communication from God is possible and listens for it …. And he will receive an answer …. God Himself will guide him into truth, God Himself will teach and explain to him whatever he wants to know. For God speaks through the spirit to the spiritual spark within the person, because spirit can only be heard by spirit.

And this divine spirit knows everything without limitation, only the human being himself limits the spirit due to his will …. due to the degree of his love which also determines the degree of realisation he will gain …. He can penetrate the most profound knowledge concerning the reign and work of God and His plan of Salvation, he can learn about everything which explains to him the purpose and meaning of creation and human existence, he can arrive at the most enlightening knowledge and thereby regain the degree of enlightenment with which he was originally blessed …. He can, in fact, find solutions to spiritual problems which human intellect will never be able to solve, and his knowledge will never be restricted by God unless the person limits himself as a result of insufficient love or adverse will …. which usually does not happen once a person could be taught by God’s spirit …. For God does not set limits, but human will is free and is always respected ….

Even so, there is no evidence for spiritual knowledge unless a person accepts the working of the spirit in himself as proof, which is indeed absolute proof to the believer, but it will not be accepted as proof by the unbeliever. For that reason spiritual knowledge cannot be conveyed academically, for even if it were passed on from person to person, the other person would lack the conviction that this knowledge is the truth, as long as he, in turn, does not meet the conditions required by God to receive spiritual knowledge. Hence, everyone has to acquire enlightenment for himself, or at least desire it and turn to the right source; but no one should believe he can gain this knowledge with his intellect alone, because God Himself is the primary source of all light …. because a human being can only gain true comprehension by way of God, Who could think of nothing better than guide people into truth, conveying true knowledge to them, and thus lead them from a state of spiritual darkness into the light. For light alone is beatitude, and to gain enlightenment is purpose and goal for every human being on earth .

Amen

Renewed banishment is the result of spiritual death ….

B.D. 7591 from April 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Spiritual death necessitates banishment into matter, that is: a spiritual being having succumbed to death, which remains in a lifeless state, must be engendered into hard matter again in order to slowly return to life. As long as there is still a small spark of life within the spiritual being everything will be attempted in order to guide it further towards life, and this can certainly be successful so that the being will then be spared being banished into matter, and it will nevertheless slowly come alive, if only after an infinitely long time. But there is also a possibility that the being will become completely paralysed, that it will descend ever more into the abyss …. which many souls in the beyond allow to happen …. Then the spiritual substance of this being will be dissolved and once again placed into hard matter …. into the creations on earth. And it will have to travel a tremendously painful path in order to come back to life again. And people on earth can similarly descend in their spiritual state in the last days; they can keep striving towards the abyss of their own free will, they can completely commit themselves to the lord of darkness and, as his followers, descend into utmost darkness themselves …. And then it will also be necessary to dissolve the souls into countless minute particles and to place them into the creations again, they will have to take the path of higher development through untold forms once more until they awaken to life all over again …. And this low spiritual level has occurred; during the last days spiritual death is unmistakable and everything is being done on earth as well as in the beyond in order to stimulate individual sparks of life, in order to strengthen existing life and to prevent it from falling prey to death. For it is a time of infinite torment which the spiritual being will have to endure if it is banished into matter again. And God’s love and mercy also applies to what has descended to the lowest point and wants to protect it from this fate. However, where the spiritual being’s free will opposes Him God’s plan of Salvation has to be carried out, after which a renewed banishment into matter will be unavoidable.

Were people to have precise information about this they would truly do everything in their power in order to escape spiritual death …. But they do not accept the knowledge of it, they don’t believe in a continuation of life, they don’t believe in a justification before God and neither do they believe in a God and Creator Who will demand accountability from them one day …. Their ‘Ego’, however, cannot cease to exist anymore and its abode will be appropriate to its state, and although it will no longer be conscious of itself in a state of death it will nevertheless feel the agony of its captivity, since it was originally created as a free spiritual being. Even so, in its lifeless state it cannot be placed where life exists because it had voluntarily chosen a state of death and its will was subsequently complied with. Free will, however, is a state of beatitude and the bound state is a state of torment …. And as a human being the soul chooses its own state. And God’s love and wisdom allows it to keep its freedom but helps the human being in every conceivable way to attain eternal life …. just as He will grant His help again through a banishment into matter so that what is lifeless can awaken to life again one day. And God’s love applies to all once fallen spiritual beings, it also follows them into the abyss and helps them ascend again …. but it is particularly active during the time when the being has regained its self-awareness and free will …. during the time as a human being …. so that it will then change its initially still dead state into a state of life. But the human being’s free will remains untouched, it will be respected, and this free will determines whether the being will lose its external form for good or whether the form will become solid again …. so that it will return into hard matter once more. Then the being will have fallen prey to spiritual death and it will take an infinitely long time until it once again receives the grace of embodiment as a human being where it can acquire life for itself ….

Amen

The power of prayer ….

B.D. 7592 from May 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You should test the power of the prayer which is sent up to Me in spirit and in truth …. And you would have certain proof that your father hears you and listens to you …. that He inclines His ear to you and grants you what you ask for. But you must pray correctly …. You must intimately unite with Me and trustingly present your requests to Me, you must turn to Me with the trust of a child towards its father, you must be certain that I love you and that love will not fail. The right relationship with Me has to be established, and that is what your prayers often lack and therefore are not listened to. As long as you still see the distant God in Me, as long as you don’t nestle up to Me like children, your prayer will not arise from your heart either, only your mouth or your intellect will speak but not your heart. But I only listen to the voice of the heart, I want to hear the faithful stammering of a child and feel the love of a child which the person who faithfully calls upon Me as his God and father will also feel for Me. And these words of his will reach My ear and My love cannot help but grant the child what it asks for. The strength of a right prayer is so great that you could truly go through your earthly life without worry; but since it is up to you yourselves whether you pray in the right way, you will make many wrong requests, you will only pray according to form, your mouth will utter words which are familiar to you, the intellect will also deal with it but the heart will remain untouched, because this requires the most intimate bond with Me which you humans only rarely establish. And great adversity will first have to befall you so that fear will cause you to call upon your God and father, and then this call will come from the heart and be heard …. But if love drives you to Me then your prayer will also be a right one, for love pushes towards the eternal love, love speaks to the eternal love, and the eternal love does not deny Itself …. Again and again love is the path to the father’s heart, only love is able to send a prayer to Me in spirit and in truth, and love is never rejected by Me, it finds fulfilment in My love. And I know everything you need, I know your worries, I know your desires, and I know all your requests which cause you to pray …. But I want you to come to Me yourselves and appeal to Me with all tenderness of heart to help you, and therefore I require you to pray in spirit and in truth, for I do not pay attention to lip service, nor do prayers in form reflect your own thoughts and feelings, but which I require for a right prayer …. But if you present your requests to Me in all childlikeness then you will speak to your father like children, and then the father will also hear and listen to His children. He will release you from all adversity, He will take all your wishes into account, He will help wherever you need His help and you can live a carefree earthly life if you make use of the strength of a prayer which is sent up to Me ‘in spirit and in truth’. For the father in heaven hears His children, He inclines Himself towards them and draws them to His heart, He gives them His love and with His love also everything they ask for, for His true children will only ever pray for that which is not detrimental to their souls, because their inherent love also gives them realization and therefore they would not ask for anything which I would have to deny them …._>Amen

Right use of vitality ….

B.D. 7593 from May 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Every day you are allowed to experience as a human being on this earth is a grace for you, for every day can still help your soul to mature, which will then earn it a degree of light in the kingdom of the beyond which it could only achieve on earth. Every day is a grace for you which you cannot value highly enough. For as long as you still possess vitality you can also work with love and thus gather spiritual riches which will follow you into eternity …. At the moment of death this vitality is extinguished and you stand there powerless, even if you wanted to work with love …. if you have not acquired spiritual strength through loving activity on earth. As long as you live on earth you should enjoy your vitality because you can use it to create spiritual possessions for yourselves, because you can use it to work with love and thus accomplish your change of nature for the purpose of which you are on earth. Admittedly, you can also let your will become active in the wrong direction by using all your vitality exclusively to create comfort for your body, and then you will have left the grace of being human unused, which you will bitterly regret one day when you have attained realization in the spiritual kingdom …. But as soon as you make good use of your lifetime, as soon as you take every opportunity to work with love, your spiritual wealth will constantly grow and your soul will purify itself, which love and suffering can achieve. This is why days of suffering can also be a blessing for you, for the more the soul can purify itself on earth the more permeable it will be to light when it enters the spiritual kingdom and the higher its degree of maturity, which determines its fate in eternity. For this reason you should also humbly accept suffering days and regard them as a gift of grace from God, for it is far easier to attain a certain degree of soul maturity on earth than it will be in the kingdom of the beyond, even though an ascent is still possible then but it requires far more strength than on earth. And then the soul has to acquire this strength through loving activity first, but it usually cannot muster the will to do so and has to rely on people’s intercession or help from the beings of light …. And no matter how much your earthly life burdens you, no matter how difficult it seems to you to bear …. you can always request God’s help, you can only turn to Jesus Christ at any time to help you carry your cross or to provide you with strength so that you are able to carry the cross yourselves. But you still possess the strength of life which enables you to increase your strength yourselves when you carry out works of love. For love is strength, and you will always receive more strength the more you practice love. And you will also be able to overcome difficult days and mature your soul through every day which brought you love and suffering. It will be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond purified and will have gained a great advantage over the souls of people who only thought of their physical comfort and went through earthly life without any complaints. And the soul will also thank its God and father for the suffering which earned it that advantage …. It will be allowed to enjoy the light and be blissfully happy in strength and freedom, it will possess riches with which it can work for its own and other souls’ happiness who are still in poverty and torment in a state which requires help …. And they will be blessed to be able to help those souls because their need is unspeakably great …._>Amen

The fall and rise of the being ….

B.D. 7594 from May 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

In the beginning the beings were incomparably blissful …. My love shone through them continuously and they felt this illumination as bliss, and they gave themselves to Me in ardent love, for they recognized Me as their God and creator, as the primary source from Whom all bliss emanated. They were perfect and therefore also blissful in abundance. For the perfect felt united with Me, to Whom they were therefore also infinitely devoted. Love filled all these beings, which constantly overflowed from Me into them, was reciprocated and flowed back to Me again. It was the most blissful exchange of strength of love which made both the beings as well as Me endlessly happy …. And this blissful exchange could have lasted for eternities, it need never have stopped if the beings had not changed their will which, as a sign of their divinity, was free and could determine itself. Although the being stood in brightest realization, it was flooded with light, i.e., it knew about everything …. it knew about its outcome, about its destiny …. it possessed all abilities which characterized it as My image. Thus it need not have directed its will wrongly.… But My opposite pole had an effect on the being, My first-created being, which had likewise detached itself from Me in free will and now stood opposite Me as an opposite pole with a completely wrong will. And many beings joined this opposite pole because they were able to see it, whereas I remained an inscrutable God for them. And their bliss was thereby impaired, i.e., due to their wrong will they resisted My illumination of love and consequently were no longer able to feel the bliss which initially made them overjoyed. But I did not prevent them, I allowed them to distance themselves ever further from Me because I knew that one day I would win them back again and then I would be able to provide them with even greater bliss than before. My love knows no limits, and therefore the happiness through My love must also be limitless, it must be able to constantly increase, the ray of love must be able to have an ever greater effect and therefore the bliss must also increase infinitely …. But this also requires creatures which can tolerate such an illumination of love …. it demands that My creatures increase their perfection in free will by shaping themselves into My children …. a work which cannot be accomplished by Me, only by themselves, because free will is required for this. And My ‘children’ will now also be able to endure such illumination of love, they will constantly receive love and radiate it like Me, and therefore they will also be allowed to be incomparably blissful, and their beatitude will never find a limit. The being which is love in itself cannot help but give love and make it happy …. My fundamental nature is love, and I would not be God if I were not constantly moved by the strength of love into new creations, for I want to make people happy and everything only contributes towards eternal happiness for the beings once created by Me. And thus all beings which are full of love are also moved by an immense creative urge to create and shape new creations, for they receive the strength from Me to do so because love constantly permeates them and love is the strength which can create and create. But My strength of love can only radiate through a being if it has become love itself, if it has accepted My original being again in which it originally stood. But that it re-enters this original state is and remains My constant aim, which I will also achieve one day. And then the beatitudes I prepare for the being which has become My child and returned to Me for eternity will also be unlimited …._>Amen

Release of spiritual substances through destruction ….

B.D. 7595 from May 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Just let yourselves be guided by Me and you will take the paths which are successful for you as well as for your fellow human beings, for the souls which allow relief work to be done on them. And I truly place My servants in the right place, in the place where they can work successfully for Me and My kingdom. But the work I require of them is also very different because My servants’ abilities are different and because each one should work where his ability is needed for service to Me. A great work of redemption is underway and the whole universe is affected by it, for all spiritual beings sense the coming change and adjust themselves to it …. The evil spirit rages with increased strength, that is, its evil will intensifies and seeks to cause harm wherever it can, but the good spirit is also constantly active to weaken this work …. And I support what strives to carry out My will, both on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom …. Mature and immature spiritual substances fight against each other, and the battle is also evident on earth, yet it always ends victoriously where I, as the commander of the army, can assist My own. And this spiritual battle is also felt by people who strive spiritually themselves and tap into the good forces, for the currents find influence everywhere where I Myself am the aim of a person’s striving. And the end casts its shadow ahead …. Destructions will take place which no one thought possible before but which are nevertheless spatially limited …. before the total transformation of the earth will take place …. For the enemy of souls seeks to liberate spiritual substances through material destruction in order to gain them for himself, as he believes, and he uses people for this purpose, since any destruction of matter is impossible for him himself …. But the liberated spiritual does not come under his control but is bound again in form. But the destructions will take place and bring much misery upon people …. And this has to happen for the sake of the many bound spirits, which will still experience a change of their outer form before the end and can then already be conceived into lighter forms on the new earth. But people are also to be roused from their sleep of death, which will only ever be brought about by events which are unusual in their nature and extent. People themselves contribute much to destroying works of creation and thereby release countless spiritual substances from their bondage, but they don’t consider that these still have to leave their form immaturely and that they don’t exert a good influence as long as they are free …. that people will therefore feel oppressed and not recognize the cause of their restlessness …. And they would have to suffer far more under their influence if I did not soon want to bind this spiritual again in new forms …. This destructive work comes from My adversary who knows how to take advantage of people’s greed for matter and causes them to carry out such works of destruction in order to release the spiritual substances bound in it …. But he gains nothing in the process but loses far more, because the human being in his urge to build up contributes to the new deformation of this spiritual substance again, albeit in a purely material sense. You who want to serve Me should know about all these processes, and you should do nothing more than try to lead your fellow human beings from the purely material path onto the spiritual path, which requires much effort and work from you but will always be a blessed beginning, no matter in which way you accomplish this task. The work you do for Me and My kingdom will be according to your ability, but the fact that you want to do it already earns you My blessing, and with My strength you will also be able to do it. And all beings of light will support you because they, too, carry out redemptive work in the universe and will always be active where their help is needed …._>Amen

Serious warning about the end ….

B.D. 7596 from May 7th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Consciously receive My Word as your Father’s loving speech and listen to what I want to say to you: You are living in the last phase of this earth, it is you who live in the last days, it is you who can still experience the spiritual turning-point if your state of maturity allows you to persevere to the end. The time of the end has irrevocably come, regardless how implausible you deem this to be. For the day is predetermined in My plan of Salvation and it will be adhered to because the time is fulfilled. There will be no more delay, for the adversary’s activity is getting out of hand and his actions will always be brought to an end when he exceeds the boundaries of his authority …. when he has influenced people to the point that they lose all faith in a God Who one day will hold every individual person to account as to how he has lived his life. The human being is supposed to choose his Lord during his lifetime on earth, he is supposed to choose Me and reject My adversary and thus he must also be informed about both powers who want to possess him and fight for his soul. This knowledge is crucial for making a decision.

My adversary, however, tries to suppress this information and he succeeds because people, due to their attitude and their will, leave themselves open to his influence. And he takes advantage of it in a way which surpasses his authority by far: He influences people to take violent actions against the believers, against everything that is to be understood as belief in a God and Creator …. Most of all, he tries to induce people into eradicating the belief in the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ. He will unleash the final battle of faith and, in a manner of speaking, force Me to put an end to his activities in order to save the few, who want to remain loyal to Me, from eternal ruin. And this time is near and therefore also the end. By repeatedly announcing this to you through My Word I only intend to make you realise the significance of the time you are living in, you should be aware of the gravity of this time and take care not to fall prey to My adversary’s artful temptations, for he influences people in an appalling manner in order to make them abandon their belief in Me and is very successful. And if I Am now counteracting his actions by speaking to people Myself in order to enable them to have faith in Me or to strengthen their faith, then this, in itself, is already an explanation for My Word from above, which truly ought to convince you, for My love for you humans motivates Me to help you in a time of momentous spiritual hardship, which can let you go astray for eternities and which I therefore would like to stop from happening to you.

Even though your free will alone is decisive I nevertheless take pity on your ignorance, your misguided thinking and indifference, and by talking to you I try time and again to shake you out of your apathy and motivate you to think. Believe that you will be in great spiritual peril if you don’t abide by My Word and fight against your enemy …. Believe that you have the strength to do so, that you need not fear to succumb in the battle against him …. Just change your will. Direct it towards Me if you want to find God and I will let Myself be found by you. But if you are indifferent My adversary will gain the upper hand over you, and then you will be lost for an endless time. This is the danger you find yourselves in and I know that you need exceptional help, yet I cannot determine your will, I can only ever speak to you again and warn and admonish you, I can only ever give you My merciful love and inform you of what is to come, of the time you are approaching …. I cannot do anything other than lovingly speak to you time and again, so that you may recognise a God and Father, so that you will believe in Him and loyally abide by this faith. But the end will come irrevocably, for My Word is truth and fulfils itself, and the hour of the end has been predetermined since the beginning of time …. Hence accept My Word in your hearts and just desire to become blessed …. And I will not leave you, I will give you strength to persevere until the end …. I will be a powerful protection and shield for My Own and support you when you have to profess Me before the world ….

Amen

Living faith …. Awakening of life ….

B.D. 7597 from May 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Awakening into true life begins when the human being makes conscious contact with God, when he acknowledges a Being above himself …. when he thus believes in this Being and tries to join Him, that is, when he feels a relationship between the higher Being and himself and would like to continue this relationship. In that case the spiritual spark in him has already come alive and is trying to influence him from within to strive towards the eternal Father-Spirit. The spark of love has already ignited itself, thus he will always feel inwardly urged to do deeds of love, although at first they will only consist of being kind towards his fellow human beings …. But love will always be recognisable or the life in him would be unable to arise. And now this life is making itself noticeable, it is effectively a second life within himself, independent from his actual physical life which every human being experiences even if the spiritual spark in him is still dormant and he is thus spiritually dead. But only this second life gives the human being real satisfaction, for then he will be associating with God through directing his thoughts towards Him and through prayer …. And this person will not forget his God either, because God Himself will hold on to him and prevent the person from succumbing to death once more ….

Nevertheless, a distinction has to be made between the intellectual knowledge of Him and the living awareness of a higher Being, for anything taught can be forgotten again, it can be rejected at a later time; it has not yet brought the soul to life …. The latter knowledge, however, can lead to a living faith if the human being is of good will …. And then he will never lose the life again once it has come awake in him. And it can arise from the moment the human being is able to think. For as soon as he is willing to love his thinking will be guided correctly, and then he will seek the bond with God, with a Being to Whom he can give himself with confidence. For the human being feels his own inadequacy, he feels that he needs a Guide and Protector because he is aware of his weakness …. And therefore he looks for the Being from Which he expects help in every situation of life …. It happens unconsciously at first but it makes him very happy if he can believe in such a Being and has entered into contact with Him. This is the plain and simple faith which can be gained by every child but which is alive in him and not the result of teachings, which the child can certainly accept but which do not bestow the inner conviction upon him. For this conviction involves the child’s willingness to love which brings the spiritual spark within itself to life. And everything else will then be induced by this spiritual spark, which time and again will stimulate the person’s longing for the eternal Father-Spirit until the person quite consciously establishes the bond through heartfelt prayer which then, however, will absolutely guarantee the Father’s care of the child and will never again let it descend into spiritual blindness, into death.

This is why the passing on of religious doctrines is not sufficient; although they will not be rejected they won’t necessarily bestow ‘life’. Only love manages to attain true life, and this alone motivates the children to think about the religious doctrines and look for the Father, Who will also let Himself be found …. And then the spiritual spark within the person will constantly urge him towards the Father-Spirit. He will feel inwardly pushed to bond with Him; he will feel inwardly pushed into kind-hearted activity and prayer. And both will initiate the unification with Him, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life …. both will awaken the human being into eternal life, into a life he cannot lose anymore because it is the spiritual life which has nothing in common with earthly life. And then the human being will have found his God, the child will have found the Father and surrendered itself to Him forever …. And from now on the human being cannot die again; he will live eternally ….

Amen

Examining spiritual good …. feeding the word ….

B.D. 7598 from May 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You may only accept as truth that which has its origin in Me. And thus you have to check where spiritual knowledge has originated which is presented to you as truth. And you will be able to do this if you are serious about recognizing truth or error, and if you approach Me for spiritual enlightenment that you will think correctly yourselves and thus also judge correctly. And you will mostly find out that it is spiritual knowledge passed on from person to person, the origin of which you are no longer able to ascertain. And then you will do well to inform yourselves as to what extent such spiritual knowledge corresponds to the word conveyed to you from above by Me …. The truth has to come forth from Me in order to be able to be addressed as truth. And again and again My pure word has also been conveyed to earth from Me …. Therefore it must be able to be compared and correspond with the spiritual knowledge which is offered to you from outside. And then you will recognize for yourselves to what extent truth has been offered to you. But you should never accept it unchecked, and if you can no longer ascertain its origin then be careful with accepting it, for only pure truth will result in spiritual gain for you, whereas error or lies mean danger for your souls. But this examination is usually omitted …. And therefore much error has crept into My gospel, it is no longer the pure teaching as I Myself proclaimed it on earth. Many changes have been made and people no longer know how to distinguish between the pure truth from Me and the humanly added extras and represent everything as ‘divine word’. But if ‘My word’ is to remain in existence for all eternity I have to convey it to earth again and again anew, because imperfect people do not keep anything pure but in their imperfection also disfigure the most perfect, My word …. and thus I must always ensure that My pure word is conveyed to people so that My word will be fulfilled: “Heaven and earth will pass away but ‘My word’ will remain for all eternity ….” And you humans should do your part, you should want the truth to be offered to you by Me, you should pay attention to what spiritual knowledge is then brought to you from outside, you should pay attention to the origin and desire that God Himself may address you …. And I will do so by awakening your spirit and you will brightly and clearly recognize where error has crept in and reject it as such. You are capable of doing so if only you are willing to receive truth and intimately unite with Me and appeal for the supply of it. Then your spirit will be awakened and able to precisely distinguish truth from error, and you will be able to book a spiritual benefit for your souls which only truth can bestow upon them. And you need never fear that you yourselves are incapable of rightly judging what is truth and what is error …. Your will and desire for truth also guarantees you such, because I Myself do not want you to go astray, that the truth is withheld from you by My adversary and his representatives on earth. Thus I will help My own to find the truth, only you should want to belong to My own yourselves, i.e. strive towards the truth and thus towards Me Myself, Who is the eternal truth. It is all so simple and should be understandable to you humans that I only ever want to make the truth accessible to you, thus everything is done on My part to bring you into possession of truth …. And you need only want to live in truth and your will will be complied with. But you should never unquestioningly accept spiritual knowledge which is given to you by people, for only a serious examination can guarantee you the supply of truth, otherwise you will be indifferent and never be able to distinguish error from truth because you lack the serious will to do so. You can and will receive everything you desire from Me, yet without your desire I withhold Myself because I respect your free will, because My grace cannot work against your will either …._>Amen

Admonition for all vineyard labourers ….

B.D. 7599 from May 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The waves of unrest trying to take hold of you, My servants on earth, will keep rising, and you will go through all kinds of problems and yet, you must remain faithful to Me in all problems of body and soul …. Always remember that you are living at the time of the end …. And this endtime will still bring you a great many surprises of various kinds. But one thing is certain, you should faithfully keep to My revelations, to My Word, which comes to you from above. For even in this respect My adversary will try to cause much confusion by aiming to intersperse the truth with serious errors, and he will be successful because people often lack the spirit of discernment …. because they often lack an awakened spirit. However, they can pray for the gift of discernment, for I will truly not let a person live in error who sincerely desires the truth. And I will certainly convey to you the knowledge you need in order to successfully accomplish your vineyard work for Me and My kingdom …. for this reason it is not necessary for you to adopt unfamiliar spiritual knowledge you have not received from Me. But you should pay attention to what happens around you, to what is going on in this world and to people’s actions, because thereby you will recognise the activity of the one who is raging during the last days because he knows that he does not have much time left. And thus I tell you time and time again that you should leave the control and guidance to Me, because I know where and in which way a person who is willing to work for Me is a faithful labourer …. And I will truly assign his work to him, he will not need to search for the work he should do for Me. However, it is My adversary’s activity to keep confusing people’s thoughts, to rush and irritate them, to deprive them of their inner calm, to turn people against each other and to destroy all good relations …. My adversary also exerts his influence by diverting people’s eyes from purely spiritual processes and directing them towards the machinations of immature spirits which avail themselves of ensnared people in order to cause trouble …. Follow your path steadfastly, be willing to serve Me as faithful servants and always wait for where I will deploy you for your service …. And I will guide you …. but do not act independently, instead, let Me arrange everything, because I know the success or failure, I also know My adversary’s activity and can only ever advise you to turn to Me, to hand yourselves over to Me and not to act overzealously, because all agitation is My adversary’s work, but you can only find inner calm in Me. If you let Me be your guide and constant companion, everything will work itself out in such a way that you need only follow your inner urging and you will be acting in a righteous and good way before Me and thus serve Me in truth as My labourers in My vineyard. But do not allow yourselves to be influenced by strange forces. And you will always have to fear a strange force if you lose your inner calm. Everything requires its time, and even the activity of evil forces is permitted by Me so that the extent of people’s resistance to them can be tested. When the time is right I will confront them with My strength and then you, My servants, will know that you are working and acting for Me. And therefore there is only one thing to do: trustingly hand yourselves over to Me and appeal for My guidance, then you will be called to service which could be a success for Me …. You should not tackle things of your own accord without having received instructions from Me …. but you should at all times be ready to serve Me, then you will be guided such that you can accomplish your vineyard work well, that you can save souls from their final downfall …. that you therefore will be diligent labourers for Me during the last days before the end.

Amen

God's revelation …. "Receive and eat …."

B.D. 7600 from May 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My word gives you everything you need on earth …. For as soon as you are addressed by Me you will not lack strength and grace, and you will be well provided for spiritually and earthly …. for My promise is “I will not leave you orphaned ….” I will reveal Myself to you and thus make Myself known to you as your father. And a father truly provides for his child spiritually and earthly if only it allows itself to be addressed by Him. For then you will give Me the evidence that you love Me and I will likewise prove My fatherly love to you by speaking to you. And a loving father’s heart is always ready to give. Thus you will not need to do without anything when you hear My address, for then you will know that you are My children who are also subject to My spiritual and physical care. And how happy you may praise yourselves that you hear My word, for thereby you are given the evidence that you belong to My children who have already taken the path to the father and who will also safely reach the aim. And no more anxiety should befall you, for your very will to let Me speak to you also gives you the strength to continue on your earthly path in the certainty that you will cover it until the end …. For it is “My flesh” that you eat and “My blood” that you drink …. It is bread and wine which you may enjoy for the strengthening of your soul. You receive Me Myself within you, for I am the word made flesh …. Just consider the depth of these words …. that I Myself am within you when you hear My word, when I speak to you, when I offer you My greatest gift of love which you can ever receive from Me on earth. I am in you or you would not be able to hear Me, and My presence must make you overjoyed. Therefore you can truly consider yourselves blissfully happy when you are in the grace of My direct address, when you receive My word directly conveyed to earth through messengers, when you are honoured by My address which stamps you as My children, for only My own can recognize My pure word and only My own accept it into their hearts. And the fact that you hear or are allowed to read My word will be proof to you that you belong to My own, and you should be happy in this certainty and only desire ever more eagerly to hear My word, you should not let any opportunity pass by where My word sounds to you, for then you will also have the guarantee that I Myself am in you and with you, otherwise you would not be able to hear Me, otherwise you would not recognize the father’s voice Who speaks to you Himself. And you shall hungrily enjoy the food I offer you …. you shall eat My flesh and drink My blood and thus receive Me completely into your heart …. You shall receive bread and wine from the heavens and let yourselves be strengthened in a way that no other nourishment your earthly body is able to receive. For I offer My nourishment to the soul, and this nourishment lets the soul mature and helps it to attain eternal life …. Do you now know why I sent the words to you through My disciples: “Receive and eat, receive and drink”? do you know then that I also addressed My disciples, that they heard My word and that they should carry this word out into the world? “Do this in remembrance of Me ….” What have you humans made of My words, and what meaning have you given them? That in the end only a few still know that I still give people bread and wine, that I give them My word as proper nourishment for their souls …. and that I am present to them when they can hear My speech, My voice. And My word will endure for all eternity …. Again and again I will address people where they allow My presence, and again and again they will be able to draw strength from My address so that their souls mature, that they fulfil the purpose of earthly life, that they shape themselves into love and now seek and find union with Me because My love constantly addresses them, because My love draws them and thus the soul can no longer resist My illumination of love, My word …._>Amen

Contact with inhabitants of other worlds …. ‘In My Father’s house ….’

B.D. 7601 from May 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Countless heavenly bodies circle the universe, and they all have the task of helping immature souls reach maturity ….

So now you can understand the Words: ‘In My Father’s house are many mansions ….’ And every star receives the souls whose state of maturity is suitable to its conditions; in other words, the potential for maturity differs on every star and the souls are placed accordingly. But the living conditions, too, are always different, because the stars’ nature and consistency vary. A detailed description cannot be given to people on earth because much would be incomprehensible to them and requires spiritual knowledge in order to be understood. But for all souls, whatever their degree of maturity, suitable stars exist for maturing, where souls of good will are able to ascend. For even there the spiritual beings’ free will is taken into account, even there spiritual constraint is not applied, although the respective living conditions constrain the beings to the extent that they have to accept them or they could not survive in their world. And everywhere the beings will receive a light which reveals the purpose of their existence …. Whether they accept and utilise the light is up to them but it is decisive for their ascent. And all these works of God’s creation are ‘mansions in the Father’s house ….’

Hence all spiritual essence will one day achieve the degree of maturity which will enable it to exchange physical creations with purely spiritual ones …. which you humans are unable to perceive with your physical eyes. Because everything that is visible to you are creations which shelter beings which are still immature, since perfected beings are active in the kingdom of light and no longer require ‘visible’ creations for their abode. But the distance between all these works of creation is vast and they are not within reach of each other either …. The inhabitants of all these worlds are tied to their planet, to the star on which they live …. They are only able to change their abode after reaching a certain degree of maturity, and not arbitrarily but in line with God’s fundamental law …. to which all His creations must submit, including the beings who are allocated to them. It is therefore foolish to assume that the inhabitants of these worlds could arbitrarily depart from them and approach other worlds without fearing their own destruction. Because the living conditions are different on all stars and these cannot be excluded arbitrarily. However, during the last days even such plans are being worked on.

(17.05.1960) God’s opponent takes advantage of people’s gullibility by feigning that they can have contact with inhabitants of other worlds and that these, for apparently good reasons, also want to make contact with the inhabitants of earth. He intends to undermine the belief in an end of the old earth and thereby prevent people from preparing themselves for this end …. But people should be informed that earth is a planet on its own which has no connection with other worlds, and that any connection with other worlds can only be spiritually established …. Hence the human being is, in fact, able to make contact with inhabitants of advanced worlds, with the kingdom of light, by way of good and appealing thoughts for help at times of spiritual hardship …. which will then be given to him spiritually …. but that it is not advisable for him to call on beings on other stars whose spiritual degree of maturity and their ability to offer spiritual help is unknown to him. Physical help is definitely out of the question, as God’s adversary would like people to believe that these beings could exert their influence on the inhabitants of earth before a final destruction. Only God can provide the right kind of help when the time arrives which is feared by you humans, and if you believe it He will grant this help to everyone who asks for it.

And He truly has enough angels who exclusively comply with and implement His will, and they will also take care of people when the hour comes …. But God’s adversary has found fertile ground in people’s gullibility onto which he can sow many bad seeds. People would rather accept his misguided instructions than pure truth, which shows the value of his seeds. Because error is always accepted over truth, the human being will always seek to gain advantage from error and reject the truth, which does not promise him any profits. The end is near, and it will come without fail …. Every teaching is wrong which questions an end or provides people with a way out that does not correspond with God’s will …. For God Himself will lead everyone out of danger who entrusts himself to Him, who takes refuge with Him, who belongs to His Own who need not fear an end ….

Meaning and purpose of existence: turning away from the world ….

B.D. 7602 from May 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And it will soon become certain to you that the world cannot fulfil your wishes and desires, for it will disappoint everyone who still has a spark of spiritual life in him, i.e. it will not be able to permanently satisfy him who strives for the life which lasts forever. Only the one who is completely enslaved by the world and thus by the lord of this world will not cease his striving for this world, for the lord will not let him who holds him captive. Yet again and again God Himself will let the human being recognize the signs of this world’s transience, again and again the world will disappoint the one whose soul God is still struggling for …. and again and again this will therefore be a means to release the human being from his love of the world, even though he still has to stand in the midst of the world because this is what life as a human being demands. But he will realize that the world is not the meaning and purpose of earthly life but that he is on earth for the sake of his soul and that it desires something else than the world can offer it. For this reason you humans can also expect a change in world events with certainty, you can be certain that many things will happen and might startle you out of your rest, for for the sake of the few who are still undecided which path they should take, the path will obviously be shown to them …. They shall still surrender their love for the world, and they will be helped to do so, for anyone who recognizes the world as deceptive and worthless will also not hesitate to surrender it for that which appears more valuable to him. And this purpose is pursued on God’s part when He allows things which you humans often cannot understand and reconcile with God’s love. For He always takes the individual’s spiritual hardship and attitude into account and is always ready to help. And if the world seriously disappoints a person he will also find the path to God more easily …. And this is what He wants to achieve, that they seek God of their own free will and that He can then also let Himself be found. (18.5.1960) But as long as the world fulfils people’s desire their gaze will also remain turned towards the world, and then they will not pay attention to a God, for they still regard earthly life as an end in itself which, after all, is only a means to an end. And only recurring failures can inspire them to think differently and make them reflect. And what people first perceive as a severe blow of fate can soon reveal a great blessing, it can change the person inwardly and also determine a different way of life which is beneficial for his soul. People are placed in the world, they are meant to prove themselves, to meet the requirements which serve the preservation of the body, but they should not forget the spiritual life for the sake of the world, which they absolutely have to live next to the earthly life if the earthly path of life is to be fulfilled. For the soul should mature, and it must be thought of, which is all too often neglected because of the world. And yet, the transience of earthly life, the worthlessness of the world, is so obvious and can be recognized by every person of good will and is also recognized by those who are responsible and therefore also think about the meaning and purpose of existence on earth. And God helps all those by letting them become ever more aware of the transience of the world …. by often forcibly removing what is only an obstacle to the ascent upwards …. And He will still often manifest Himself through fateful events which are not dependent on human will but clearly betray the intervention of a higher power. For He wants to be recognized, He wants to be called upon and asked for His help, He then wants to prove Himself to people through His obvious assistance, and He wants to push people away from the world and turn them towards the kingdom which is not of this world …. He wants people to seek Him so that He can also let Himself be found …._>Amen

God's blessing should be requested ….

B.D. 7603 from May 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Don’t fail to appeal for My blessing in whatever you start, for thereby you demonstrate that you have chosen Me as your leader, that you don’t want to do anything without Me, that you thus want to be in contact with Me …. And this assures you of My blessing and My guidance wherever you go …. And believe that you need not fear any setbacks if you have appealed for My blessing beforehand, that this request will truly protect you from failure …. for even what you possibly consider failure will then, in truth, only benefit your soul. You should only ever think of Me, that is all I expect of you; but you often exclude Me from your thoughts, and then you always run the risk that My adversary will intrude and influence you unfavourably.

I want to caution you of this, otherwise you make your earthly path more difficult, because you can have a far easier life if I Am and remain your constant companion …. And time and again you have to request My assistance, for the bond with Me is necessary in order to be protected from My adversary who will not stop bothering you. He has much power during the last days before the end which only you can reduce, for your will and thoughts when they are turned towards Me are a substantial shield in the battle against him, it is the best weapon you can use to oppose him, since then you will call Me to you, from Whom he takes flight and thus lets go of you too.

He causes much confusion even amongst My Own, because he will put everyone belonging to Me under extreme pressure by squeezing between people and turning them against each other. And then you only need to make contact with Me and he will set you free. For you and your will are the decisive factors as to whether he can take possession of you. This is why you don’t need to be afraid of him, because he is completely powerless if your will applies to Me and thus you give yourselves to Me with complete confidence and appeal for My protection. But he has great power over you if you walk alone, without Me and My illuminating guidance. Then he can be effective in his domain, and he does so in truly satanic style.

This is why I keep telling you, do not start anything without first appealing for My blessing, and thereby proving to Me your resolve to be connected with Me, and you truly will finish your day’s work with My blessing, it will be successful, you will walk along calmly and with inner peace, you will no longer be a target for him, for I will be walking by your side, and he will take flight from Me, because he cannot bear the bright radiance of My light that surrounds you now ….

Amen

Forerunner …. Knowledge about previous incarnation ….

B.D. 7604 from May 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You, who live on earth during the last days in order to be of service to Me, should not lose yourselves in assumptions as to whose spirit you embody. I have spread a veil across things which are not conducive to your earthly life and your mission. This is why the knowledge about your former incarnation on earth is withheld from you. Let it suffice you to know that I provide everyone willing to be of service to Me with great strength and grace and that, precisely because the adversary’s activity during the last days is so powerful, it also requires powerful spirits of light in order to counteract and stand up to his activity where redemptive work is carried out on earth. And these spirits of light must remain profoundly humble in order to accomplish their mission, because pride, or arrogance, in particular offer the adversary the best opening for an attack and might therefore undermine this mission. And all people are in danger of falling prey to this, his very attribute and arch-evil …. For this reason such opportunities are not supported on My part, instead I only ever try to influence the human being to remain profoundly humble, because then he will also be able to resist My adversary and not get caught up in his nets of lies. And it is not helpful for a person to know about his previous incarnation …. or he would receive this knowledge the moment he starts his work for Me and My kingdom ….

But one person will know about it, it will not be concealed from him, because he has to accomplish the most demanding task in the last days: as My forerunner to announce Me, as a voice in the wilderness to proclaim My coming in the clouds and to pay for his mission for Me with his life …. This knowledge, however, will not burden him because he will be a supremely powerful spirit who consciously undertook his last embodiment on earth in recognition of the urgency of his task, which he shall be willing to accomplish out of profound love for Me. He is one of the few who seal what they proclaim with death …. He has the strength to do so because he loves Me Whom he once did not quite recognise, who indeed had to give up his life for Me once before but who is willing to die a thousand deaths on My behalf …. who therefore also travels this final earthly path in awareness of his mission and his origin. But he will only be certain of this when his final mission begins, when he …. having previously lived in utter seclusion …. steps into the limelight, when his heartfelt bond with God suddenly enlightens him about the task he has to accomplish on earth …. Then he will proclaim Me with fiery zeal, he will do whatever it takes to refer people to the end and the last Judgment; he will speak frankly and boldly against the rulers whose power he does not fear, instead he will publicly denounce them because he recognises them as emissaries of Satan, against whom he openly campaigns.

And this will be My last sign, for he will appear during the final stages, during the time of the battle of faith, which will be waged shortly before the end. Regardless of what you hear earlier …. his time of activity will not start until this battle of faith erupts, when the lights will shine brightly to point people to the path which all people shall take …. And he will be the brightest light which will shine where you least expect it …. his radiance will outshine everything and therefore also be recognisable by all who don’t shun the light …. But be patient and wait until then, and don’t entertain false assumptions in advance …. For you will often still be misled by My adversary who wants to divert your vision in order to stop you, who are willing to serve Me as loyal servants, from your own missionary work. Don’t let yourselves be deceived …. you will very clearly recognise when the time has come where such extraordinary things will happen that I, too, will have to intervene extraordinarily in order to help My Own. For My adversary’s actions will shake their faith as well if they don’t firmly adhere to Me and hand everything over to Me in confidence of My right guidance. And then you shall also feel My will within your hearts, so that you no longer need to ask what you ought to do. My will shall be within you, you shall not be able to act against My will, and you will also know that your actions are merely fulfilling My will. Time and again I say to you: don’t be hasty, wait until I call you, until I place My will into your heart, for your premature actions can also destroy what has been laboriously built up before.

Always bear in mind that people’s faith is still too weak, that they occasionally need a lighter fare so as not to harm their souls …. And to these you should only preach My Gospel of love but not present them with teachings which they are unable to grasp. And this also includes the knowledge about the incarnation of spirits of light, because they often lack belief in the soul’s continuation of life altogether. It is not always appropriate to announce the appearance of the forerunner prior to My second coming to such people, yet if they accept My Gospel of love they will also learn to believe and recognise him when he appears, because he will be preceded by grave events and a ‘separation of the spirits’ will then be recognisable …. people, who are either for or against Me and therefore exhibit corresponding spiritual understanding. Not much time will pass before all these Words will be understandable to you, and then you will no longer ask but know that My coming is imminent, because you will recognise the one who was My forerunner during My time on earth and who will be it again, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….

Amen

Grant of grace and efficacy ….

B.D. 7605 from May 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My grace flows to every human being …. Hence it is wrong to say that this or that person is unusually gifted, rather, it is his own will that the human being opens himself to a flow of grace which touches him, that he accepts what I bestow upon him …. and since I distribute unlimitedly he can therefore also receive unlimitedly. Thus he is then under the influence of a flow of grace which is also recognizable to his fellow human beings and is also felt unusually. But then it is also obvious to fellow human beings that this person must be extremely willing to love or he would not positively relate to the flow of grace which touches him. For the love within him also lets him recognize that he is considered by his God and father, and then he consciously accepts the gifts of grace from My hand …. Thus My word from above can reach a person or be conveyed to him through My messengers …. the person willing to love will recognize and accept it as My address. And this is an unusual gift of grace which can promote the soul’s development to the highest degree in a short time. But the same word can be offered to a person who ignores or rejects it …. He has received the same unusual grace and …. because his heart has little love …. he still does not let it take effect, he does not make use of the grace and therefore has no spiritual progress to report. But he was no less lovingly considered by Me, yet his free will was decisive as to how he accepted My gift of grace. And I also know whose will is turned towards Me and whom I can therefore also bestow with gifts of grace which seem unusual …. I know whose soul only needs a little impetus in order to completely embark on the path of salvation, to brightly and clearly recognize its earthly task and to eagerly work for the salvation of its soul. I also know where a spark of love has the strength to ignite and let a bright flame flare up, and I am always willing to help by supplying you with graces, because My love for you is boundless and I want to give you everything you lack so that you will become blissfully happy. And thus only simple devotion to Me is ever necessary which also secures a strong influx of grace for you. And you can be certain that you will be helped in every way to mature spiritually. You can be certain that I know about all your shortcomings and always want to compensate for them with graces which you then only need to use. And you will do so if the spirit of love predominates in you, for then you will also feel My love for you and gratefully accept what My love offers you. I constantly want to give and make you happy, and all My blessings are gifts because they flow to you without merit …. because they are only ever intended to promote your upward development, which is determined by your free will itself …. And My blessings flow to you so that this will is used correctly. And no-one will be ignored, everyone can draw unlimited grace from My love …. But no-one will be forced to accept My grace …._>Amen

God's protection to His own and to the vineyard workers ….

B.D. 7606 from May 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You will have to attach yourselves ever more firmly to Me, for the afflictions will also become increasingly stronger and you would be unable to resist without My help. But you know that I always want to be your protection and shield and support if only you stick to Me and no longer leave Me out of your thoughts …. Only the bond with Me can be your secure help, and the more intimately you establish it the less you will be affected by all adversity which, however, will increase the closer it is to the end. And I speak to you as your father Who truly wants to spare His children all adversity …. I speak to you as your God and creator, Who truly also has the power to protect each of His children from adversity and suffering …. And I speak to you as the father of the house Who promises safe protection to His servants who faithfully serve Him. For I need you …. There is still a time when much rescue work can be done, there is still a time when you live in a certain freedom, when you can be active for Me and My kingdom without being prevented by worldly power. But the time will soon come when this activity will also be forbidden to you, when you will only be able to work in secret and when you only have to place all your trust in Me that I will protect you, no matter what you undertake …. And I have always promised you My protection and will thus grant it to you so that you can still work until the end comes …. Therefore, don’t worry unnecessarily and don’t let yourselves be weighed down by afflictions of any kind, but only ever seek to strengthen your bond with Me and you will have nothing to fear …. no matter how troubled things are around you …. I am your protection and shield and your companion wherever you go …. For there are still tasks to be fulfilled until your day’s work is completed, and as long as I need you, you are also under My protection. None of you can shape his life’s destiny according to his will if I am not of the same will or allow his plan; but since I know what task you still have to accomplish on earth I will also shape your life’s destiny accordingly, and in this confidence you should only completely hand yourselves over to Me and everything will take care of itself. Every earthly worry is unnecessary as long as your spiritual salvation appears to be the most important thing for you. And if you want to serve Me you should also strive for your spiritual salvation, and then you can also be sure that I will take care of you fatherly and guide you until the end of your life. For I will not leave My own in adversity of body and soul, I will stand by My own and reveal Myself to them as God and creator, as the most loving father from eternity …._>Amen

Good will guarantees approach to God ….

B.D. 7607 from May 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The will to do good also ensures that the human being comes closer to God, that he learns to recognize Him and submits to His will. The spark of love is placed in the heart of every human being, and it is this that determines the course of development of the human being, his spiritual maturity. A person can be of good will from his youth, he can prove to himself and his environment that he is of good will to help if he complies with his inner urge …. if he allows himself to be guided by his conscience. And he can now also certainly come to a certain spiritual realization very soon …. he will learn to recognize God and seek to approach Him, and God will meet him because He knows about the human being’s good will. And this is the secret of love …. Eternal love powerfully attracts the person who nourishes the spark of love within himself, who is therefore of good will. And this person will then also recognize the love with which God is inclined towards him, he will recognize God in everything that surrounds him, in what happens and in what concerns him …. He will surrender to Him and of his own accord do what is God’s will: he will live in love and awaken his spirit …. and he will mature in his soul. Thus it only requires good will to achieve the aim on earth for the purpose of which the human being lives. And even if he initially knows nothing more about it …. the realization comes to him of its own accord because the spark of love is active in him and thus awakens the spirit in him to life. Then he has emerged from the initially dead state and becomes active himself in God’s will. And God will now give him the task which the human being declares himself willing to fulfil, consciously or also unconsciously, for God knows to what extent he will comply with this task and what abilities the human being possesses in order to walk on earth for blessing. And the human being offers Him no resistance because his will is good and he completely submits himself to God’s will. This devotion to God is the most beautiful thing in life, for then it relieves the human being of all responsibility, it gives him inner peace and joy, it leads him ever closer to God Who now draws him in turn, Who does not leave his side and Who protects him against all attacks by the enemy of his soul. And then it will truly also be easy for the human being to fulfil his earthly task, he will not need to use great force in order to acquire the kingdom of heaven, the yoke will be gentle for him and the burden light, for he is of good will. And his love for God and his neighbour grows daily and constantly fills him with more strength to be able to accomplish everything that is required of him, both spiritually and earthly. Then he will also have entered into the right relationship, he will then associate with God like a child with its father, and the child will feel the father’s love and walk through earthly life in peace with God …. it will also know that its true home is not earth but that it will return home to its father’s house after its death, because the father draws His child in His love until it has found its way home to Him …._>Amen

Love and suffering purify the soul ….

B.D. 7608 from May 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Love and suffering purify the human soul, love and suffering are the purifying agents which make the soul permeable to light, which repel everything impure from it and shape the soul in such a way that it can enter the kingdom of light without having to perish from the radiation of light which then happens to it. Love alone could bring about such a purification of the soul, for love is radiant light which consumes everything that exposes itself to it, so that then only the spiritual substance remains which once came forth from God as a perfect being. Love alone would therefore bring about a transformation of the soul so that it could enter the spiritual kingdom completely spiritualized and clear. But love is not brought by people to the degree which would result in such a transfiguration of the soul …. And that is why love must also be accompanied by suffering, which is also a sure means for its purification. And suffering must therefore be humbly borne by people if the soul is to completely purify itself and become a spiritual being permeable to light. And therefore you should also bless suffering and accept it as a gift of grace from God’s hand. You don’t know the effect of love and suffering, again and again you are told how successful you can be if you live in love and patiently endure the suffering imposed on you during your time on earth. Yet you don’t value this knowledge, you are negligent in your activity of love and you often rebel when suffering weighs you down …. You want to shake it off you, you don’t like to endure suffering, and therefore your soul needs a long time until it has completely purged itself, and often it doesn’t achieve it on earth, and then it enters the kingdom of the beyond without being sufficiently prepared …. It has not yet been completely purified on earth, and therefore it is not so easy for bright light to shine through it, because again and again the dross darkens the light, because again and again it prevents the rays of light of love from touching it, which will always constitute its beatitude. Love and suffering are necessary in earthly life because they help the soul to mature …. However, the soul can reduce the amount of suffering at any time if it exercises love to an increased degree, if its degree of love is so high that all dross of the soul is dissolved through love …. thus if the process of transformation through love has taken place and the soul is completely purified when it departs from this earth. Yet the person who is unable to be depressed by suffering can consider himself blissfully happy, for the soul increasingly repels the dross and more and more freely receives the light which it can now radiate through on earth and which then constitutes its bliss in the spiritual kingdom. All spiritual substances shall mature, body and soul shall spiritualize themselves during earthly life, and this can also happen quickly if the human being endeavours to always live in love, and if he also bears the suffering imposed on him with regard to its effect on the soul …. if he bears it without grumbling or complaining …. if only he always regards it as a God-imposed means of purification which can earn the soul progress which will make it highly happy after the death of the body, where the soul’s maturity alone determines its fate …. where the soul alone is assessed according to its state of maturity and this therefore necessitates a complete purification which only the human being’s will can accomplish itself. For he must be willing to love and suffer on earth …. Then the soul will become increasingly more receptive to light, then its spiritual destiny will be sealed …. it will attain life and will now never lose this life again …._>Amen

The end will come unexpectedly ….

B.D. 7609 from May 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And unusual intervention by God will take place when the time is right …. This has been announced to you over and over again, yet you doubt it, because the time I still grant to you as a reprieve seems too long for you; however, you fail to consider that I regard time differently, that a short extension of time is irrelevant in view of the magnitude of My intervention, in view of the overwhelming act of destruction which this intervention as well as the forthcoming end will mean to humanity. You forget the fact that you were nevertheless only granted a short time of grace but that even the longest period of time will one day come to an end and that you should, therefore, expect every day that My announcements will fulfil themselves. And this is how you should also look at your life, always thinking that every day could be the last day for you. One day, when you no longer live on earth in the flesh, you will realise how short your whole lifetime on earth has been. And then you will also understand the urgency of My admonitions and warnings, for only then will you realise that your concept of time on earth is different from that in the spiritual realm. However, you should already recognise this while you are living on earth and therefore accept My admonitions and warnings, you should not doubt even if you think it takes a long time until My intervention will take place. It will nevertheless come unexpectedly and cause tremendous adversity to those people who are not yet so united with Me that, in their distress, they simply take refuge with Me.

The day will come unexpectedly, like all big natural disasters of a similar kind, which you humans are unable to prevent or evaluate in advance …. Even so, it will come without fail …. I will repeat this time and again with all urgency, because it is necessary for you to prepare yourselves for it, for you to believe and always live your life in view of this natural event. For no human being will know whether he will belong to the survivors, no-one will know where the event will take place and which countries will be affected by it. You all should count on it and be thankful to Me if it passes you by. For in that case you will still have to fulfil the task of carrying out labours of love for those affected unfortunate people and of showing them the path to Me, so that I can comfort and uplift them and lead them out of all adversity. For truly, nothing is impossible for Me, and an intimate prayer can avert much suffering and hardship, wherever it may be. This is why I repeatedly come in the Word to you, so that you can draw strength from it in advance and calmly face whatever will affect you. And time and again I say to you: take care that you belong to My Own, who will find refuge and protection with Me, whom I will strengthen over and over again and to whom I will impart extraordinary strength to work for Me and My name. And then the end will not be far away anymore. And you should all prepare yourselves for this end and learn to believe ever more firmly what is proclaimed to you through My Word …. For everything will come to pass when the time is right ….

Amen

Right or wrong will ….

B.D. 7610 from May 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You could already achieve the transformation into love in a short time if only you seriously thought about your purpose on earth and also reckoned with a quick recall. Then you would direct your thinking more spiritually, you would live more responsibly and thus also fulfil the commandments of love for God and your neighbour, always providing you are of good will. For it depends on the direction of your will whether it still belongs entirely to God’s adversary or has already turned towards God. In the latter case God takes hold of the human being and constantly gives him strength to ascend, and then his thinking will also be right. And this turning towards God is innermost experience which no human being determines, which even God’s adversary cannot prevent, which the human being does himself of his own accord and which alone is decisive for his spiritual progress, for this will turned towards God now also enables a supply of strength from God’s side. And then the contact is already established and this is also a guarantee for the change of being into love …. For the influx of strength from God means the illumination of God’s love, which will have such an effect again that the human being’s spark of love will ignite and grow into a bright flame, because the strength of love will not remain ineffective. For this reason, however, it is necessary that people receive the knowledge of God, of His infinite love, wisdom and power, so that the human being himself can adjust to it, so that he can turn to Him if his will is good. Everything else is taken care of by God Himself in His love, because He knows that the human being is weak and will never be able to ascend to Him on his own …. But the human being’s good will is enough for Him to supply him with the necessary strength …. And thus the human being is fatefully guided through his earthly life, always in such a way that it serves him to accomplish his change of nature, that he learns to recognize God and can turn to Him. Yet his will remains free, he will neither be forced by God nor by His adversary; he has to decide for himself and, if he makes the right decision, can reach his aim in a very short time …. For the will turned towards God now guarantees him His help in every way, and therefore it is not difficult to find and travel the path into the kingdom of heaven, because he can always be certain of God’s support, Who truly does everything to regain His children who were once lost to Him. Only the will to unite has to come forth from the human being himself, because the being itself had once separated itself from Him even in free will. But that the human being can achieve it in an earthly life, however short, is certain and therefore also the thought comforting that every human being can reach his aim if only he wants it himself. Life’s fate takes his nature into account, and God always helps in His love where the human being threatens to fail. He cannot compulsorily correct a will which is completely turned away from Him, and then the human being will go to ruin, then he will have to accept the consequences of a wrong will, which are truly extremely painful but cannot be avoided according to the law of eternity. The human being has full freedom of will, and he should only use it in the right way …._>Amen

Separation of the spirits …. The end of an earthly period ….

B.D. 7611 from May 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The path as a human being through earthly life is the once fallen original spirit’s last phase of development on this earth …. it is the conclusion of the time this spirit was granted for its higher development, it is the conclusion of the period of time during which the original spirit is able to attain perfection again if it makes good use of the last phase, the stage as a human being, if it turns its will in the right direction during this time. Thus it is able to achieve its goal of entering the kingdom, from whence it originated, in a completely spiritualised state again; it is able to return to the light, to the Primary Source of eternity, to the Father, from Whom it formerly emerged as His living creation. But although this earthly life is short, compared to the infinitely long period of time of preliminary development, the great risk nevertheless exists that the human being will misuse his will again, that he will not strive to attain his perfection but descend into the abyss again …. And since this is his free will he cannot be prevented from doing so, just as he, vice versa, cannot be forced to turn his will correctly. Hence it is a matter of testing his will for the second time, and he has to pass this test as a human being or his course through earthly life will have been unsuccessful …. which might also result in a renewed banishment into matter if he is not granted the last grace to gradually ascend in the kingdom of the beyond under far more difficult conditions than on earth. This possibility still exists for as long as the earthly period has not yet been concluded because the realm of the beyond is still open to the souls which depart from this earth in an immature state. Yet the gates to the beyond will close as soon as this period of Salvation comes to an end and a new one starts again …. For the end of an old era also means the complete separation of the spirits, it means a reintegration of all spirits into external covers or creations which correspond to their degree of maturity.

And for the purpose of a renewed banishment hell will also spew out everything during the last days, then every possibility to advance further in the kingdom of the beyond will also be over, on account of which considerable redemptive work is still carried out in order to still save souls from below from a repeated banishment into matter. Substantial sifting will take place in the beyond and on earth. And if people on earth would consider how far they have already progressed and how near they are to attaining their perfection they would truly muster all their strength in order to still make good use of the time they have left until the end …. Yet no matter what is said to them they take nothing seriously; they don’t use the time in order to reach their goal and the last grace of their embodiment as a human being is passing them by ineffectively, for even all other means of grace bestowed upon them during this time are either not accepted or used incorrectly, and an infinitely long process of development is coming to an end without have reached the right outcome for the human soul …. for the once fallen original spirit, which is intended to return to God …. However, people can only be admonished and warned, and that happens to a large extent through the divine Word which God’s greater than great love conveys from above to people on earth as an exceptional means of grace …. And all people will be addressed by it and need only open their heart and ears in order to feel the strength of the divine Word and to assuredly ascend. Thus every human being has the option to obtain strength for himself, he only has to be of good will and strive to fulfil the purpose of his earthly life …. He must live the short time until the end of his life consciously, he must want to comply with the will of the One Who had given him his life, he must hand himself over to Him and appeal to Him for strength and grace. Then he will also reach his goal, for this appeal will always be granted to him, and God will bless everyone who turns to Him for strength and grace, and his earthly path will not have been in vain ….

Amen

Spiritual compulsion …. Dogma ….

B.D. 7612 from May 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You shall have full spiritual freedom …. You should not be forced by any side to think, you should not be led or kept away from spiritual material of whatever kind by commandments and prohibitions …. It should be entirely up to you how you relate to the spiritual knowledge you receive, and you should not be prevented from receiving spiritual knowledge either, because it must be up to you whether you relate to it positively or negatively. And thus you must not be taught doctrines of faith as ‘dogma’ which you therefore have to believe if you don’t want to fall into spiritual or earthly punishment. It is wrong to command you to believe something, for you should only believe what is pure truth, and every doctrine of faith must therefore first be tested for its truth …. which, however, is often denied to you and you should therefore accept these teachings under ‘spiritual compulsion’. God has given you free will, He has equipped you with the gift of understanding, thus every person must also be free to believe what he wants, even if purest truth is offered to him. For he is only on earth because of his free decision, only his free decision is valued, but not a thinking and acting which was demanded of him under a compulsion of will. Freedom of will marks man as a divine creature, freedom of will is to accomplish the way back to God, man’s will is to freely decide for God. Spiritual teachings should now show him the right path to God …. And they will also show the human being the right path if they correspond to truth. However, due to the influence of God’s adversary many lies and errors have been brought into the world …. The doctrines of faith are interspersed with error and can now rather be an obstacle to reach the right path to God. And this is something the human being should decide for himself, he should freely choose the spiritual knowledge offered to him, for one day he will also have to answer for his way of life on earth, for his spiritual development. But he can achieve great spiritual progress through right faith, i.e. through the acceptance of truth, and therefore he should make an effort to experience this truth, and this requires free will and serious examination of what is presented to him. But if a doctrine of faith is elevated to a ‘dogma’, then the human being is, so to speak, forbidden to examine it, he must, as it were, submit himself to a higher authority which, however, is not entitled to curtail the human being’s freedom of will. For spiritual coercion is not God’s will, and a dogma is spiritual coercion …. Every individual human being must take responsibility for his salvation, thus every individual human being must also be allowed to deal with his thoughts when it concerns spiritual knowledge, teachings which are demanded of him to believe. He must be willing to reach God, and then he will also clearly recognize what has come forth from God, and only then will he accept it as truth. And this examination must not be forbidden to him by church organisations, otherwise the human being will be made unfree in his thinking and acting. Only through the freedom of his will can the human being attain the perfection again which he once also surrendered in free will. And therefore this free will may not be touched during earthly life, which, however, would always mean a ‘dogma’. Only what the human being makes his own in free will is decisive for his maturity of soul, for his fate in eternity …._>Amen

The Father speaks to His child ….

B.D. 7613 from June 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You all are able to listen to My voice within yourselves and it will speak to you …. Yet how rarely do you humans establish such an intimate bond with Me and keep constantly thinking of Me. How rarely do you give Me the opportunity to speak to you by consciously entrusting yourselves to Me in order to talk to Me personally, by withdrawing from the world and involving yourselves in thoughts solely of Me. You do this so seldom because you don’t seriously believe that you will be able to hear Me, that I will speak to you like a father speaks to his children. You have not yet established the relationship of a child to its father, I Am only ever the distant God to you, Whom you dare not address and Who therefore cannot talk to you like a father to his child …. But you can try it at anytime …. You only need to withdraw from the world, you only need to quietly enter into contemplation and take the path to Me in your thoughts …. You need only wish to hear My voice and your desire will be fulfilled when you listen attentively and observe the thoughts which arise in you more distinctly, because the more intimately you are giving yourselves to Me, the more you will desire to hear Me. For I will answer you …. because I do nothing more gladly than talking to My children who are now bound to Me by a strong bond of love, the Father’s love to His child. And if you would make this attempt more often, you would be delighted by the inner peace permeating you, for you would feel My nearness and in this nearness you would also know yourselves to always be protected. Every one of you could attain this blessing of My communication, even if he is not conscious of the fact that it is this intimate contact with Me which provides him with inner tranquillity. But soon he will not want to miss these hours which he gives to Me, which he spends in quiet contemplation, and his soul will mature, for he will never be without a flow of strength when he has looked for and found Me.

Every thought of Me is a blessing …. All people should avail themselves of this and time after time turn to Me in thought, for then he will have already addressed Me and I can answer him if he listens to this answer, that is, if he waits quietly and then takes notice of his arising thoughts. Then he draws Me to himself, and thus I can always be with those whose thoughts are with Me …. They induce My presence themselves, and My presence always has to be of benefit for your souls. Hence you should often give yourselves the blessing of My presence, for it requires your will to withdraw from the world and lift yourselves into spiritual spheres, where you will always be when your thoughts are with Me. And then your soul will truly not suffer anymore, for it will be strengthened by Me Myself, Who has access to it now, Who can now speak to and give it what it needs to fully mature during its time on earth. For I want that it should achieve perfection while it is still on earth, and as soon as I can influence the soul directly its perfection will also be guaranteed. And therefore I want to be able to address it directly, yet your will has to decide that you will intimately devote yourselves to Me and desire to hear Me …. Then I will surely be with you and I will talk to you like a father to his child whose love I want to win forever ….

Amen

Granting of graces through God's love ….

B.D. 7614 from June 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Only ever request My grace and I will grant it to you in abundance. For I gladly consider you as soon as you only address one request to Me, and you will never present a spiritual request to Me in vain, for I will always give you what is beneficial for your soul’s salvation. But graces are aids for the maturing of souls …. Grace is everything I bestow on you as a gift, everything which has not been earned by your merit …. Graces are gifts from My love, for it constantly endeavours to grant you spiritual and earthly support …. And when you approach Me for grace then you also acknowledge your God and father Who alone can and will bestow grace upon you. For My love guarantees you this, which applies to you and will always apply to you for all eternity. You will never call upon Me in vain for grace and strength, because I only wait for your call in order to be able to distribute what I want to bestow upon you so that you will become blissfully happy. And the person who always thinks of Me first in every adversity of body and soul can consider himself fortunate, for he will soon be relieved of his adversity again, after all, it is only a means to turn your thoughts towards Me. But once I have reached this aim all hardship will also leave you, and you will also have made use of a grace which was bestowed upon you by Me. I always want to stay with you with My grace, I want to constantly bestow gifts of love upon you, and you need do nothing more than accept these gifts of love, to appeal for My grace, and you will receive it in abundance. It is an act of mercy when I bestow this grace upon you, because you live weakly and wretchedly through earthly life and can use all help from My side, which you have not earned but which My love cannot withhold from you because you are weak and wretched. And thus you will always be carried by My grace, that is, My merciful love will always consider you according to your weakness, and you will never go empty-handed if only you inwardly express the request for mercy, if you appeal to Me in every weakness or adversity. And wherever you are, I will walk amongst you, I will be with you at all times with My grace, I will guide you along the paths you should take for your salvation, I will take part in everything that moves you and I will guide your thoughts right …. And all these are blessings which you cannot value highly enough, they are gifts of love which the father offers to His children, they are the evidence of My love for you which never ends. Therefore only ever commend yourselves to My grace, for then you will also turn your thoughts to Me, and then I Myself can also be with you and protect you against every danger to your body and soul …._>Amen

Work of the spirit …. right prophets ….

B.D. 7615 from June 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You carry the divine spark within you, that is, you are My share and will remain so for all eternity, for this divine spark of love is the spirit of My spirit, it is the bond which unites us, which will irrevocably bring us intimately together if you don’t completely spill the spiritual spark within yourselves through an unkind way of life and conscious turning away from Me. The embodiment as a human being would not lead you to any aim if it were not for this spark in you which you can ignite within yourselves and which then will certainly strive towards Me Myself as its exit …. The divine spark within you is therefore love …. You have the ability within yourselves to feel love and to exercise it because this spark of love causes you to do so if you give in to its urging, which you feel as the voice of conscience …. But whether you are willing to work with love is what your soul’s maturity depends on and thus your fate in eternity. For the ability is placed in you through that spark of love which has a direct bond with Me. But I cannot place willingness into your heart in the same way because this is the free decision for the purpose of which you live on earth. But if your will is ready for it then you can accomplish great things, because the spiritual spark in you affects you such that you seek unity with Me as the father-spirit of eternity and can then also develop unlimited abilities, or even that you acquire the abilities again which you once possessed but voluntarily relinquished through your apostasy from Me. This great sin has been redeemed by Me through My crucifixion, at the same time, after the redemption of your guilt, the possibility has now been created for you to allow the spirit to work in you …. that is, to establish the direct bond with Me as the father-spirit, so that My spirit can now flow into you for increased activity. This possibility did not exist before My crucifixion, even though the divine spark of love was dormant in the human being, thus people were not incapable of loving activity. But willingness first required the redemption of guilt, for people’s will was weakened by My adversary, and this will was strengthened by My sacrifice on the cross, by the recognition of Jesus Christ’s act of salvation. And the will could then cause My spirit to unite with the spiritual spark and thus work in the human being. But a distinction has to be made between people who were burdened with the original sin, who therefore first had to be redeemed in order to experience the working of the divine spirit …. and people who had missions to fulfil on earth, i.e. who descended to earth from above in order to inform people of My coming …. and who were also inspired by My spirit to speak for Me and My kingdom, who were therefore prompted by Me and also understood the language of the spirit, because they were souls from above, thus non-fallen original spirits. And again and again I awakened such prophets to announce My coming to earth. They heard My voice and understood Me, they lived in love and were recognizable at all times as My emissaries and servants …. But these prophetic announcements could not be compared to the ‘gifts of the spirit’ which all people were able to acquire after My sacrifice on the cross, who were prompted by their weakness of will to devote themselves to Me in Jesus Christ with complete faith and to appeal to Me for strengthening of their will and who were then impelled by their spiritual spark to consciously seek the bond with the father-spirit and also establish it through a life of love …. then they were guided and instructed by their now awakened spirit, they received the gifts of the spirit according to their ability and their task, which was now assigned to them by My spirit …. And they were now awakened to life which they could no longer lose eternally. And all of you humans can now strive for this awakening of the spirit, providing you acknowledge Jesus’ act of salvation, providing you yourselves have relinquished your past guilt of sin and therefore My spirit can unite with the spiritual spark in you again, which was not possible before My act of salvation. Understand the outpouring of the spirit right …. you must strive for it yourselves of your own accord by awakening the spiritual spark within you and then establish the most intimate bond with Me through loving activity and your own will, so that My spirit can overflow into you and think of you according to your desire and your task recognized by Me and now assigned to you …. Then you will be ‘filled with My spirit’ …. and it will guide you and introduce you to all truth, it will let you hear and feel what I Myself want to communicate to you, for ‘My spirit’ is ‘I Myself’, and I now speak to you because your spiritual spark has intimately united with Me and made the address possible …. And this is My love for you, that I speak through My spirit again and again and to all people and that everyone is able to hear My voice who believes in Me, who loves Me and keeps My commandments …._>Amen

Spiritual turn ….

B.D. 7616 from June 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The spiritual turning point can soon be expected but no longer on this earth. Individual souls can certainly still be saved, they can be induced to leave My adversary’s camp and cross over into My camp, but they will only ever be a few for whose sake I will also delay the end, even though the spiritual low has already occurred which justifies the end of the old earth. But I have fixed the day and therefore I will not accomplish the work of transformation of the old earth an hour earlier than it has been planned since eternity …. And with the end of the old earth a new time also dawns …. Then the spiritual turning point will have occurred and everything will again move in the righteous order which corresponds to My law. And all people will then also be spirit-filled, for the inhabitants of the new earth will then be in a state of maturity that My spirit can constantly overflow into their hearts. They live in and with Me, I Myself can instruct them, I can speak to them, I am in the midst of My children and all live a right and righteous life in paradise on the new earth …. This spiritual turning point is imminent …. Even if I still delay, but the time has approached, and the time limit is only short until the appointed day. But you still have a time limit, and you should make good use of it, for no matter how short it is, every individual can still achieve spiritual progress, and every individual can prepare himself to belong to those who may live the paradisiacal life on the new earth, as I have promised you. You should know that every day you work with love will bring you unimagined wealth; you should know that I accept everyone who calls upon Me and also grant him the strength to accomplish the work of transformation in himself …. And you should believe that you are close to the end of the old earth, that the day will come sooner than you think. And according to these words you should now live, i.e. shape your being into love, and you will have done everything and can then look forward to the end with great peace of mind …. Just let love flare up in you and know that you thereby unite with Me and that you can never ever get lost in your connection with Me. Make the spiritual change in yourselves before the end, turn back on the path you are now walking on …. if you have not yet taken the spiritual path. Let yourselves be called by Me and reminded to remember the end, and then eagerly start working on your soul …. Connect yourselves with Me in thought and don’t sever this bond, for then you will be saved, even if the end comes suddenly and unexpectedly, if you are called away beforehand or even if you still experience the day itself …. But then you can no longer get lost, you will have taken the path home into the father’s house, and you will reach your aim on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond if you have to leave earth first. But change yourselves and your nature into love …. I urgently call upon you who have not yet seriously thought about your purpose on earth, who walk your earthly path without Me and are therefore in greatest danger of losing yourselves completely to My adversary. There is still a short period of time, words of love still sound to you again and again which admonish and warn you …. But it will soon be over, and then irrevocable judgment will come, irrevocable the last day will come and the responsibility for each one of you. For I restore the order which is law from eternity, and that also means the end of the old earth, the end of a redemption period and the beginning of a new one …. It means an earthly and a spiritual turning point …. a new earth and a new heaven will arise, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture …._>Amen

Many are called, few are chosen ….

B.D. 7617 from June 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Anyone who feels called to a spiritual task should also regard this task as a matter of priority, for an inner calling has come forth from Me and therefore My will shall also always be fulfilled. And My spirit will announce to the human being what I require of him, and therefore he need only follow the inner urge in order to now also fulfil his task. Many people have been called by Me in the last days but only a few have been chosen because the tasks given to them require certain abilities as well as a firm will to serve Me. And I can truly assess what task I can give to the individual, and I know how he will now fulfil it. And accordingly he will now be employed to be successfully active in My vineyard. And his life’s fate is also arranged in such a way as to be advantageous for his service for Me. And at times it appears as if this fate would be detrimental to the human being’s task, as if the human being would be fatefully hindered in his service for Me …. Yet he should remain in the constant certainty that he is called by Me for his service and therefore will also be kept fit for it by Me as long as it is My will. And he should be eager and always remember that he is only a faithful servant to Me when he complies with My instructions …. when he does what is within his power …. And he should not let himself be determined by fellow human beings in his vineyard work, he should only listen to My word which will sound to him whenever he desires it. For My true vineyard labourers will also hear My voice within themselves, and thus they can only ever do the right work if they open themselves to this voice and obey it. But who is My right vineyard labourer? Anyone who seriously places himself at My disposal out of love for Me and his neighbour, who wants to cooperate in the redemption of erring souls and who therefore establishes and maintains the intimate connection with Me in which he can hear My word which instructs him about his earthly task. This serious will to cooperate is highly valued by Me and I take him into My service because I need labourers in My vineyard who are extremely active in the last days and thus help where there is great spiritual need …. But they are not allowed to act on their own authority, they shall wait for My call and accept My instructions which I will then also clearly send to them through the heart. And I will bless everyone who still offers himself to Me for service, because it is necessary in the last days that eager work is done so that people will still be saved from the destruction of earth, which is imminent in a short time …. which will bring about a spiritual and earthly change, as I repeatedly announce through My word, which you should therefore also believe so that you will not get lost …._>Amen

Where did evil come from? ….

B.D. 7618a from June 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You cannot assess to which abysmal distance the once-fallen spirit has sunk as a result of its opposition to Me, his God and Creator of eternity. He knew Me, he possessed an abundance of light which excluded all deficiency of realisation …. throughout eternities he received the evidence of My love and strength; he knew he had come forth from Me, that I had created him; he was inconceivably happy to receive My strength of love and he used this strength according to his will, which continuously augmented his bliss …. And yet, he left Me …. He rebelled against Me, rejected My love and plunged into bottomless depths …. He, whom I once created in My image, became My direct opposite …. And now you humans pose the question as to how this could have been possible; after all, the first being, the bearer of light, was created in all perfection, as nothing imperfect can come forth from Me …. This question can only be answered in that perfection knows no limitation, no restriction; it was able to move in any direction without being prevented from doing so. Free will is an imperative part of perfection …. perfection includes the fact that everything has the rightful measure but this also means that free will can exceed the rightful measure and that the rightful measure will thereby be revoked …. Lawful order is the rightful measure in all things. Consequently, if free will diverts from the lawful dimension, disorder will ensue, a state, which no longer corresponds to My will, to My eternal order. Hence something initially divine, something good, changes into something non-divine …. into something opposing God …. And this is therefore the concept of ‘sin’ …. On the other hand, it must be possible to exceed the ‘rightful measure’, otherwise free will could not become active, but it can just as well remain within eternal order. It is therefore indeed possible that a being created by Me can entertain wrong thoughts and intentions because it has free will …. but it is never pushed by Me Myself into wrong thinking and wanting, because it would be impossible for Me, the most perfect Being, to ever have a wrong thought, hence the allegation is wrong that evil is also inherent in Me …. Nor did the being I externalised have anything evil in itself when I created it …. everything it possessed was the lawful measure so that it did not have to fall ….

However, because the thoughts and intentions of the perfect being were unlimited, it was also able to go beyond the rightful measure …. it was able to lose itself and step out of the eternal order. But this spiritual confusion of the being could only occur when it turned away from Me, when it prevented My Word from sounding in him, for My Word was unable to give or demand anything else but perfection …. My Word would never have induced the being into leaving My eternal order, but once the bond with Me became loosened and the being no longer listened to My voice, it was also able to think and want in the wrong direction, because this option was open to it on account of its decision of will. Yet ‘sin’ …. the wrong will …. was at all times external from Me, I was only ever able to think and want in lawful order. I Myself was perfect, I created perfect beings and these remained perfect for as long as they upheld their connection with Me, but which they were also able to sever as a sign that they possessed free will. But this bond with Me guaranteed right inclinations and thoughts …. detachment from Me resulted in wrong inclinations and thoughts. For the being aspired towards something external to Me …. Lucifer, the light bearer, put himself in My place, although he recognised Me as the primary source …. The beings which came forth from both of us put Lucifer in My place, even though they, too, possessed the light of realisation …. Hence they deliberately carried out the separation and no longer moved within the right order, they no longer possessed the rightful measure, instead, the negative now predominated …. whereas in lawful order the positive prevails. In other words: perfection was being lost and something imperfect emerged from this change of will, which expressed itself in a negative way and thus distanced itself increasingly further. Something outside of Me also went outside the lawful order, because lawful order can only be in Me, the most perfect Being, and because everything that does not correspond to this order is evil …. therefore sin. And so the answer to the question as to whether I carry evil in Me is clear. Nothing evil can exist in Me or I would not be perfect. And evil is always that which steps out of this perfection and turns the rightful measure around, which thus revokes the eternal order, which is the fundamental principle of My nature. However, as evidence of its divinity I had to give free will to every being, and this had to have the option to change itself in any direction …. And thus the being itself created evil when it rebelled against Me, when it left the eternal order, when it wanted to use its strength negatively and work against Me …. when it distanced itself from Me. And for the sake of My ultimate goal …. for My living creations to become ‘children’ …. I did not prevent the being, nevertheless, it could just as well have remained with Me, it did not have to become sinful and fall, it could have voluntarily remained perfect and enjoyed supreme bliss, nevertheless, it voluntarily forfeited it.

Amen

Where did evil come from? ….

B.D. 7618b from June 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

However, it cannot be denied that the human being has evil within himself, for he does not live in lawful order as yet, he is still outside of Me and must first have entered the order of eternity again in order to then, as a perfect being, also have cleansed himself of everything evil, in order to be a divine being again …. My image. But, on the other hand, it cannot be said that at the birth of a human being evil has been implanted in him by Me either, for this does not correspond to truth; instead, the soul, which now animates the body, is an aggregation of tiny immature particles which are not moving within lawful order as yet and have to enter this order during their existence on earth …. It is still distant from Me when it embodies itself as a human being and shall unite itself with Me. Free will, which the original spirit once possessed, should strive towards unification with Me once more, it should liberate itself from all negative thoughts and will indeed only allow positive thoughts to arise in him the more the human being strives towards Me and seeks to unite with Me again. In that case he will push everything evil out from him, he will try to keep the order, he will find the ‘rightful measure’ in everything …. He will be good again just as he was in the beginning. Evil is only external to the Divine, it is the ‘disobedience to God’ …. But I cannot be disobedient to Myself …. My fundamental nature is love. I can only ever give and provide happiness, but I cannot force the being to accept My gift …. It must also be able to reject it because it has free will. However, as soon as it rejects My love, it opposes Me and places itself outside the circuit of My flow of love. And then the positive turns itself into the negative …. From then on the state of the being is such that it starts to want and think wrongly and distances itself ever further …. The process of return gradually reduces the vast distance; however, as long as the being has not voluntarily looked for and found the final proximity to Me it still harbours wrong thoughts which are …. because they are against Me …. evil and should be changed into the opposite during its human existence. And if the human being voluntarily seeks unity with Me, then he will reject every wrong thought, he will look for and only want the good, the Divine …. He will want to become again what he was in the beginning …. My image, My child, which is and will remain united with Me for all eternity ….

Amen

Turning to God is passing the test of will ….

B.D. 7619 from June 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

To pass the last test of will on earth is your own business. And that is why your earthly life is responsible, because your fate in eternity depends on passing it. You can develop your will in every direction, you will not be hindered; but you have received intellect and can therefore think and consider all pros and cons …. But you also have prayer …. But as soon as you are able, that is, willing, to pray, you have already passed the test of will that you turn to Me. Then your heart has already spoken …. But your intellect can also come to the same conclusion if your will is good; then it will also be able to recognize Me in everything that surrounds it and it will also turn to Me as the creator and Sustainer of all that. Yet by far the greater part of people do not use their intellect when it concerns spiritual problems, and then there is a great danger that they will not pass the test of will on earth …. There is a danger that people will not seek contact with Me, their God and creator, that their will will be directed away from Me, that they will see nothing but the world and live their worldly life until they die. Then their earthly life was in vain, for they cannot be forced to change their will, it must be entirely up to them which way they turn, and then they must also bear the consequences for their life in the beyond. Yet these people do not believe in a continuation of life, they do not believe that their souls are imperishable and that their earthly life has a negative effect on their soul. But they cannot be forced to believe either, thus only one possibility remains, that they repeatedly receive information about Me and My working through their fellow human beings and that they have to go through hardship and suffering in order to then take the path to Me in their helplessness …. Once his will has found its way to Me I can also take hold of the human being and help him further up, but this conscious turn of will towards Me has to be done by him himself, it has to take place in all freedom of will, and the human being is saved for all eternity. My adversary, however, will try everything to prevent this conscious turn of will towards Me, yet again and again My love creates opportunities for the human being which cause him to turn his thoughts towards Me, thus he will always be supported by Me without being forced to make a decision of will, but neither can My adversary. But the soul’s fate in eternity depends on the right decision of will, and therefore I will again and again point out to people through My word that they are on earth for that purpose, so that their intellect can deal with it and now also becomes active. Therefore, again and again people will receive information through My word about a God and creator Who also wants to be the father of His living creations …. And people will also gain knowledge but first have to adjust to it …. And whoever believes will be blessed …. but whoever does not believe will face an agonising fate in the kingdom of the beyond, and he will still remain in torment for eternities until he, too, will one day find his way to Me of his own free will …._>Amen
