Choose a proclamation

Blind faith is worthless ….

B.D. 7834 from February 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The human being shall believe but he shall not believe blindly …. he shall form a mental opinion about everything he is required to believe and then let his heart decide whether to reject or accept it. This is what I expect of people, but I Am not content with blind faith when the demand of such signifies a coercion of will, as I gave people completely free will. And you always have to bear the human being’s freedom of will in mind, then you will also recognise whether a doctrine has originated from Me, for I gave you humans absolute freedom, I gave you no other commandments apart from the divine commandments of love, the fulfilment of which, however, also presuppose free will. So now I want to guide you into bliss, and for that reason I repeatedly convey My Word to you …. I instruct you and familiarise you with spiritual knowledge …. and once again it is up to you to believe it or not …. Yet you have to form your own opinion about it, you have to think about it and have the good intention to recognise and accept what is right. I don’t expect you to blindly believe what you receive through My Word; yet I expect you to scrutinise it before you make a judgment, and after serious examination you will also recognise the truth of what you are presented with, and then you will no longer believe blindly.

But I cannot absolve many people from the accusation of having accepted spiritual values without checking them and then holding on to them …. which, after serious consideration, they would have had to recognise as being untrue …. Many people are satisfied with what was handed on to them by way of tradition, and they deem it wrong to dwell on it because this is what they were also taught …. But how do they want to justify themselves one day? Every human being received from Me the gift of faculty of thought, but does he make use of it? Why does he scrutinise the value of earthly commodities but refrains from doing so with spiritual goods? Why is the salvation of his soul of so little significance to each individual person that he would anxiously ask himself whether he can rely on the fact that he was offered the truth? Why is he indifferent to the ‘truth’? For truly, anyone who desires the truth will not live in darkness …. And this state of indifference can be found wherever any kind of spiritual knowledge is unreservedly and without scrutiny accepted because it originates from a specific source …. and precisely this source was not made accessible by Me, or the human being would live in truth and also clearly recognise it as such as soon as he forms an opinion of it. You, however, accept and believe blindly, and thus you strengthen the power of the one who is My adversary, who wants to push you into darkness and keep you there …. For you have dedicated yourselves to an organisation but not to Me, Who in fact wants to guide you to the light ….

However, you have free will and therefore I have never proceeded forcibly but left the decision to you, and as long as you have searched for Me in all sincerity I allow Myself to be found and kindle a bright light in you which also clearly illuminates My adversary’s activity. And every person can possess this light by just desiring the light …. But it involves the sincere will to be released from My adversary and this necessitates a close bond with Me …. And thus you need only ask yourselves whether you …. who believe blindly because you are told to do so …. feel impelled towards Me …. No one having sought this close bond with Me has remained empty-handed, for I reveal Myself to everyone and grant him the enlightenment which illumines his path ahead. For if he is searching for Me then love is in him too, which soon will bestow upon him the correct realisation. And thus he will also be able to separate error from truth, he will no longer believe blindly, his bond with Me will release him from My adversary, who will no longer be able to keep a person in darkness once he has seen the light, which makes him happy and only increases his desire for more light …. And he will free himself from the influence of those who pretend to be My true representatives on earth, who do not live in truth themselves and therefore cannot distribute it either …. who exert spiritual coercion on their followers, which can never correspond to My will, because earthly life is a matter of the human being’s free decision of will which is being prevented by the former ….

Amen

Help for the beings beyond through the word of God ….

B.D. 7835 from February 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

An unusual flow of light can be recognized in the spiritual world when My divine ray of love pours to earth, when My word is conveyed to earth, which is light from the eternal light. And countless beings are touched by this ray of light, all of which have entered My flow of love, which no longer offer any resistance to My illumination. In the spiritual kingdom My ray of love touches the beings which are constantly fed with My light of love in order to pass it on into areas without light. But also the beings in the beyond who are willing to listen to Me when My word is sounded to them in order to mature themselves happily accept My illumination of love and have great blessings …. People on earth must also be willing to be addressed by Me in order to experience the blessing of My illumination of light of love …. But all will be considered without limitation according to their degree of love and willingness. And thus you humans will also understand how you yourselves help those beings in the kingdom of the beyond into the light if you contact Me in order to receive My word, for they are not yet in the kingdom of light where the beings are constantly blessed by the illumination of love …. They still need the mediators whose love would like to help them into the light, because they still live in spiritual regions where darkness or twilight predominates and where rays of light only flash up when this connection with Me is established from earth and then it is up to them whether they follow the rays of light in order to enter the realm of illumination. And since these beings are still in earthly regions due to their spiritual immaturity they will also constantly surround you but also be infinitely grateful to you if they come into the blessing of My illumination of love through you …. For I Myself cannot yet directly convey the light to them but I will never prevent them if they voluntarily join the flow of love. And this is why the transmission of My word to earth is such a great help for these souls, because their free will remains with them and yet the possibility exists that the souls will seek you out and receive light from you. And thus you contribute to an unusual degree to the redemption of these souls, for the ray of light attracts countless souls and they follow it and thus enter the blessing of My divine word, which truly has a great effect because it is an illumination of love on My part which the souls cannot resist. But the souls in the beyond are by no means forced, they can also avoid the rays of light if they shun the light, yet their resistance will not last long because other willing souls will already take care of this again by participating in it. My adversary’s activity on earth is unmistakable …. but redemptive work of the greatest magnitude is also underway in the kingdom of the beyond …. And therefore you humans should not grieve when your loved ones are sometimes called away before their time, for many no longer reach the state of maturity on earth which secures them the kingdom of light, but they can still ascend in the kingdom of the beyond in a short time because they are more likely to take hold of My hand there than on earth, where they don’t want to see it, where they pass by My gift of love, where they don’t let themselves be addressed by Me because they have turned their eyes towards the world. Yet to you, who receive My word, I call again and again: Remember these souls to whom you do a great service when they are allowed to become involved in My activity, when they are allowed to participate in My illumination of love. And often let My ray of love enter this darkness, because you are surrounded by many souls which feel at ease and only ever wait until a ray flashes up again and touches them …. For where My love is legally bound there are no barriers to your love, and for the sake of your love I can help those who are in need …._>Amen

Faith in and knowledge of the work of redemption ….

B.D. 7836 from February 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I opened the kingdom of light for you again through My death on the cross My adversary’s power over you was broken insofar as you were able to oppose his will yourselves, which was not possible before because you were completely weakened in his dominion. But now he could no longer keep your will bound, and as soon as it was willing to turn to Me you escaped his power, and now you draw the strength from Me because I had acquired it for you through My sacrificial death …. In the human stage your will is free, it is not forced from any side …. but it can be completely weakened and then it cannot offer My adversary any resistance …. But the fact that this weakened will was strengthened is why I died on the cross …. And now you humans need only ask Me in Jesus Christ to strengthen your will …. and you will be able to free yourselves from the adversary’s power. Thus you must acknowledge Jesus Christ’s act of salvation, and thus the knowledge of it must be conveyed to you humans. You humans must be taught that an original sin is the reason for your earthly life as a human being and that this original sin is also the reason for the act of salvation. You must know why a human being suffered death on the cross and what mission this human being fulfilled in truth: that He offered Himself to Me as a cover because I wanted to redeem the great guilt for you in Him, which had kept the kingdom of light closed to you since your apostasy from Me …. And therefore you will be instructed again and again in the truth so that all correlations will be clear to you, so that you will now also recognize your purpose of earthly life, which consists of believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world, for you will not be able to enter through the gate into the kingdom of light until you have also found redemption…, until you have found redemption, which only requires your own will to turn to Me again, Who embodied Myself in the human being Jesus, Who died for you Myself on the cross in order to redeem you from My adversary’s power. And if you humans are still weak-willed, come to Me in Jesus and ask Me to strengthen your will …. And truly, you will be released from this power, for then your will will already be turned towards Me and your earthly life will not have been lived in vain, it will lead you towards the aim which, however, you will never be able to reach without redemption through Jesus Christ. And already the will to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation earns you strength and grace, for it testifies that you want to detach yourselves from My adversary who tries to keep you in spiritual darkness. But truth is light, and thus you then desire the light when you ask for the truth …. And the ‘eternal light’ will shine for you, it will truly guide you to the right knowledge, and then you will also turn to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and also to Me Myself, Whom you now recognize in Jesus as your God and father of eternity. Then you will have voluntarily returned to Me, and then My crucifixion will not have been in vain for you, then the gate into the kingdom of light will have been opened for you, you yourselves will be united with Me again, the abyss will have had to release you, and you will now also remain with Me forever …. And therefore I will never stop giving you humans enlightenment through My word, for one thing is entirely necessary: to know about the redemptive work of Jesus Christ …. He cannot be excluded, without Him there is no beatitude …. and I Myself cannot be thought of in any other way than in Him. And if you want to make contact with Me it can only happen in Jesus, Whose shell I chose for Myself in order to be able to be a visible God for you, Who is a spirit, inconceivable to you …. Who fills the whole universe but manifested Himself for you, His creatures, in the shell of the man Jesus …. In Him, therefore, you must look for Me, and then you will also find Me and never lose Me again …._>Amen

Free will ….

B.D. 7837 from February 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Only your will determines whether you achieve perfection on this earth. Hence earthly life is a matter of your free decision of will. But this does not relate to earthly questions or opinions about earthly plans, it is purely a matter for your soul to make the right decision as to which Lord it accepts above itself. But the human being cannot be forced by either side to make this decision, consequently ‘free will’ cannot ever be refuted, in spite of the fact that people repeatedly attempt to do so. Only the human being’s innermost thoughts matter and this is not subject to any force. For this reason the person can only be influenced by ideas, speeches and various events which are thus intended to affect his thoughts (his will). And this is attempted by the divine as well as by the God-opposing aspect. However, it is always the person’s own decision as to which influence he submits himself (yields) …. The human being’s will is free …. Hence one day he also has to be accountable for the direction he gave his will, because he was given his life as a human being for the purpose of testing his will and sooner or later the soul will have to endure the consequences of its will’s decision.

The human being is able to turn his will towards God in every situation of life …. And he can equally submit himself to His adversary …. but he will never be able to hold anyone responsible for his decision of will, neither his fellow human being nor a worldly power, neither God Himself nor His adversary, because it is entirely up to his free will as to whether the direction of his thoughts aim towards God or His adversary …. But his destiny is always determined by God such that he can easily find God, as long as he no longer offers Him inner resistance …. which is thus determined by his free will. People are inclined to refute free will because they are not always able to do what they want to do, however, it is not always a question of what they do, but what they want. For they can be prevented from carrying out actions, again due to the effects of spiritual influences …. but the volition itself cannot be prevented. Therefore the human being should be critical of himself with regard to the direction of his will’s expression …. because during his life on earth he knows that he is expected to turn towards God, because God Himself constantly conveys this information to him and he does not live his earthly life entirely without knowledge …. But since he is also influenced by God’s adversary it will be inevitable that he has to think about it, and therefore he is already urged to make a decision ….

And thus this, too, is the battle between light and darkness, which has to be settled by the person himself and which would be inconceivable without the human being’s free will, otherwise only the positive and negative powers would fight each other and one power would then emerge as the winner …. But this is not how the battle between light and darkness should be understood, because it concerns the human being’s soul which, in free will, makes its own choice regarding itself. The human being’s life on earth is therefore an uninterrupted chain of experiences, discoveries and impressions which stimulate his thinking and which can also enable his thoughts to move into the right direction. But since God’s adversary was granted the right to fight for the soul as well, his thinking will also be subject to negative influences and then he will have to make his choice. And the intensity of his resistance to God determines the outcome, it determines the soul’s fate after the body’s death, which can be exceedingly joyful but also intensely painful. However, irrespective how the will decides …. God’s love never abandons the soul, and if it does not achieve its goal in this earthly life it will indeed delay its salvation for an infinitely long time, but sooner or later the right decision will be made by the will, since God’s love is strength which the soul will not oppose forever ….

Amen

Return of the opponent ….

B.D. 7838 from March 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The adversary’s return to Me can also only take place in lawful order …. And since his apostasy from Me was an offence so unusually severe that you humans are unable to comprehend it, it will take eternities until he has atoned for this offence …. until he has changed his will himself and gives himself to Me again, as it was in the beginning. He, whom My greater than great love had brought into being, had become My adversary, and this meant that he turned everything within himself into the opposite …. that he shaped himself into a being which stood in stark contrast to Me …. that he became the antithesis of the eternal deity, even though he had originated from Me Myself. And this ‘turning’ into a being completely opposed to Me required eternal times, and therefore the return cannot take place in less time, for he has to go back the same way, he also has to turn his nature into his original being again, and he is still in the hardest opposition to Me, as an enemy and adversary he is still in the greatest defensive position and constantly works against Me …. And yet, in this resistance he unconsciously serves Me as an antipole in My plan of return, for once all beings have to freely decide between Me and him, because the return to Me cannot take place under compulsion but has to be started in free will, just as the apostasy from Me once took place in free will. My adversary, however, has lost all realization through his fall into the abyss …. he turned away from Me as the eternal light, he no longer allowed himself to be permeated by My light of love, and due to his ever increasing distance from Me he lost all light …. he became darkened in spirit, he was in wrong thinking, he no longer recognized anything but he considered his blinded thinking to be truth. And his activity consists of carrying darkness everywhere, of extinguishing all light and fighting against truth because he perceives it as a light from Me. Thus he created a kingdom of darkness into which he plunged his following and thus dominated it. And because his following is overwhelmingly large it will take eternities until light can be brought to this following for the time being, which, however, is the purpose of My plan of eternity to illuminate everything with My love again until it stands in the brightest light of realization again and then thus has also returned to Me. Yet if its fall required eternities until it had landed in the deepest abyss, if it has to take the same path back again, it is obvious from this that a return of the counter-spirit is still far from being thought of, because the entire appendage has to be redeemed first before it feels so weak itself that it voluntarily returns to Me. But until then he will also use the strength and power he still has left on people, for they will live on earth in possession of free will which will now have to prove itself, i.e. which will have to choose between Me, the lord, Whom the being once refused to acknowledge …. and him, the lord, whom they voluntarily followed to the abyss. Thus he unconsciously and unintentionally serves Me as an antipole …. And I foresaw this from eternity and built My entire ‘plan of redemption’ on the wrong will of My first-created being, or also: the plan for the creation of ‘children’ who had to pass the very test of will which presupposes becoming ‘children of God’. Since countless beings were created by His will using My strength, it will also take eternities until these beings arrive with Me again as My children …. And for just as long will the first-created spirit, Lucifer, serve Me as an antipole …. And for just as long will he postpone his return to Me, for it will take eternities to change his completely wrong nature …. But one day his return is also certain …. But you humans should not be misled when you are told that he is on the path of return …. indeed his followers, but not he himself, whose hatred towards Me is abysmal, but also towards everything spiritual which belongs to him, for he knows no love, he seeks to ruin everything, and he also seeks to prevent his followers from becoming blessed, because he himself is evil since he turned himself and his nature wrong and likewise has to carry out his change on himself, so that he returns to the father again as the prodigal son from Whom he also once took his departure …._>Amen

Directing the souls in the beyond to Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 7839 from March 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Anyone who professes Me in the spiritual kingdom will be redeemed for all eternity …. As soon as the souls, which are still dwelling in darkness or twilight, are no longer opposed to My name when they are informed of My act of Salvation by disguised messengers of light or by the thoughts of loving people, the darkness will leave them …. the strength of My name alone will take effect in them and drive them to Me, they will start to look for Me and I will also allow Myself to be found …. But the soul’s will is and shall always remain free, hence it might also take a long time before they accept Me, before people’s intercession becomes effective or the messengers of light joining them in disguise are successful in bringing them the Gospel.

Yet the efforts to gain these souls will not cease, and therefore it is very beneficial if souls are consciously invited to join spiritual conversations relating to the act of Salvation, so that the souls will time and again be directed to Jesus Christ and voluntarily take the path to Me and ask Me for forgiveness of their guilt …. As long as they are not happy they will still be burdened by guilt, and their misery will be able to encourage them to strive for an improvement of their situation and think about themselves, about their life on earth and their relationship with Me, their God and Creator of eternity. It will already reduce the soul’s will of resistance if it receives people’s loving intercession, if it is kindly thought of and feels their willingness to help. This will also decrease its rejection of help which it is repeatedly offered in the realm of the beyond, and its surrender of opposition is the beginning of progress, for every inclination of such a soul is taken into account and it is bestowed with a small light, which makes it happy and increases its desire for it.

The souls in the beyond have to find Me if they have not found Me on earth already. And you humans can greatly contribute towards it by frequently thinking of souls which suffer adversity …. by only ever directing every soul coming into your mind to Me, to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, Who alone can help it attain beatitude. Your loving thoughts of these souls are like sparks of light, which make them happy and which they always look out for and to whose origin they hurry. While on earth they had kept away from all spiritual instruction, they had only lived their earthly life and thus entered the spiritual kingdom devoid of all spiritual possessions after their death …. Now they first have to acquire spiritual possessions of their own free will, they should not offer any opposition if the Gospel of love is proclaimed to them, and they must also pass it on with love to those who, like themselves, would like to improve their situation.

However, as soon as you humans take care of these souls they will not be lost; your thoughts will always draw them to yourselves and they will also be able to accept what they hitherto had rejected …. and now experience it as a blessing because it is given to them by your love …. For love is a power which will not remain ineffective …. You should often remember the souls which still languish in darkness, which have not yet found their way to Me in Jesus; show them the way and inform them of the Gospel; and you will accomplish a richly blessed work of redemption that is most significant, especially during the last days, because many souls shall still detach themselves from the abyss, so that they will not fall prey to the new banishment when the end has come ….

Amen

Serving in must-law …. serving in love ….

B.D. 7840 from March 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Everything you see around you strives towards perfection, for the whole of creation contains fallen spiritual substances which, dissolved into countless particles, wander through the individual works of creation with the aim of returning to Me from Whom they once originated. I saw these creations as suitable to change the former resistance of the spiritual substance, and an ascending development will always be recorded in creation because this spiritual substance fulfils My will in the law of compulsion, because it also fulfils the law of eternal order in the law of compulsion: because it serves …. Serving is an act of love …. Although love as such does not really break through in the law of compulsion, the once fallen being nevertheless slowly inserts itself into the fundamental law of eternal order again, and thereby the distance from Me decreases, so that it can then once again gain possession of free will and now serves of its own accord …. which then, however, also requires love and this brings the once fallen being back to Me again, because through love it unites with Me again as the original source of love. Everything you see around you is developing upwards, but you yourselves, the human being who is now the spirit being endowed with free will …. can also bring this upward development to a standstill if you fail, if you do not “serve in love” in free will …. And thereby you can jeopardise the whole course of upward development beforehand, you can sink back into the abyss again …. And I would like to protect you from this, but I Myself cannot determine your will, I can only present the effect of it to you, warn and admonish you and help you if you are of good will. And again and again you should look at the creation around you and remember that you have already overcome everything, that you were of service because every work of creation has its purpose, and that you thereby attained a degree of maturity which earned you the grace of embodiment as a human being …. And you should thank Me with all your heart that I made this degree of maturity possible for you, and you should love Me for it …. and you would soon also reach your aim, you would soon unite with Me and be blissfully happy. But if you keep yourselves distant from Me …. and you do, if you live along without love and without thoughts of Me …. then you are in utmost danger of sinking back and having to cover the whole long path of your ascent development once again. And this is a state of unimaginable agony and darkness for you. But as a human being you are able to change this state and acquire light and bliss. Use this time of grace for yourselves, think of yourselves and your fate after the death of your body, and eagerly work on the transformation of your soul …. so that you still discard your unspiritual urges, so that you change yourselves into love. For then you will also take on the original nature again which was your state before your past apostasy from Me, and you will also be able to enjoy light and bliss as you once did in the beginning. For I want you to come out of your state of wretchedness because I love you, and therefore I also let you take this long path of development in order to help you attain the highest possible maturity, but which you now have to increase yourselves in free will as a human being in order to be completely united with Me again. I was your starting point, and irrevocably you must also return to Me again. And once you have reached your aim you will also be immeasurably happy and sing My praises and thanks that My infinite love did not let you fall, even though you voluntarily left Me. But you determine the duration of your distance from Me yourselves and thus also your return, which I do not force out of My love and My power, because you are free, divine creatures who are therefore also free to determine yourselves. But My love is boundless and will always help you to reach your aim as long as you are of good will …._>Amen

The adversary's disguise as a spirit of light …. Miracles? ….

B.D. 7841 from March 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Your thinking is utterly wrong if you look upon the adversary’s machinations as divine miracles, because they can be recognised as soon as you humans are of good will and subsequently also desire to think correctly …. For the sign of My working consists of the fact that everything testifies to love, wisdom and power; consequently, you need only investigate as to whether love, wisdom and power can be recognised when you are informed of such alleged miracles …. My adversary also disguises himself in the form of light, he appears as a spirit of light and confuses gullible people who are looking for sensations and therefore also accept anything unverified. You should not believe blindly, each one of you should examine and keep that which seems acceptable to you after serious scrutiny. So if phenomena are reported to you which supposedly are My ‘divine’ activity, you should know that I do not work in unusual ways in order to lead people to faith, because a living faith can only be gained through kind-hearted actions and any other faith is of no value before Me. Why should I therefore offer you unusual phenomena and what would be My purpose for it? You can find out anything you need to know from My Word, its transmission is certainly an extraordinary gift of grace but it does not oblige anyone to believe who does not live a life of love …. But it shall stimulate you into kind-hearted activity, and then your faith will become firm and alive. A spiritually highly mature person will occasionally be able to experience spiritual visions, but he will find it very difficult to describe to his fellow human beings what he had seen …. In that case one cannot speak of ‘unusual phenomena’ which originate from Me …. Yet My adversary often works by dazzling people and thus creating an illusion of things which are only perceived by people akin to him, who are not in heartfelt contact with Me, their God and Father of eternity …. This can only happen if people think the wrong way and thereby prepare their own foundation for wrong images …. if they themselves are willing to confirm inaccuracies by testifying to them …. Their lack of earnestly requesting the truth leaves them open to any error, and then it is easy for My adversary to build upon this error and to increasingly confuse people’s thinking more and more so that they see and hear what he feigns to them because they want to see and hear it. Don’t believe that I try to prove or reveal Myself to those who do not shape themselves such that I can reveal Myself to them …. but even then it does not happen so obviously that it would compel someone into believing who has not reached a specific degree of maturity …. And ask yourselves whether people advocating unusual experiences or phenomena can be credited with this maturity …. because only the masses will let themselves be deceived but fully matured souls will never experience My adversary’s obvious activity …. Anyone who believes blindly gets more and more caught up in Satan’s web of lies, for he has an easy game with them …. But if you seriously desire the truth, he will not be able to deceive you, then you will recognise him regardless of what he does …. For his activity emerges from darkness and only increases the darkness …. However, where I Am at work there is light …. and there can only be light where love is present. And this light of love can only emanate from Me, but it will also illuminate and penetrate the darkness …. Therefore, look for light, try to escape the darkness and turn to Me as the light of eternity …. And you will easily recognise where My adversary has intervened, for neither My love nor My wisdom nor power can be recognised there …. His activity will be clearly recognisable, as he will only ever fight the light and therefore also the truth ….

Amen

Right enlightenment about Jesus Christ …. work of redemption ….

B.D. 7842 from March 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Faith in the divine redeemer guarantees that you will enter the kingdom of light after death, because then you will also have found redemption, the forgiveness of guilt, which has so far kept the kingdom of light closed to you. And you can only attain living faith if you make an effort to live a life of love …. if you keep the commandments which He Himself gave you when He lived on earth. But you also need to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation; you need to know what motivated Him to die on the cross for people, and Who actually existed in the man Jesus, Who accomplished the act of salvation …. You must know that God Himself was in Him and therefore also acknowledge Jesus as God’s son and redeemer of the world, in Whom the eternal deity manifested Himself in order to accomplish the act of salvation on the cross. As soon as you humans are taught the pure truth you can also attain faith, because then love for Him will be kindled in you humans and this love will then also let faith come alive in you. This is why it is so extremely important that you are given a true picture of the mission of the man Jesus, for you will be willing to accept the truth if only you are of good will. But if you are given an unclear picture then you will doubt and also completely reject it, you will only regard Jesus Christ and His life on earth as a legend which is not to be taken seriously, and you will not be able to experience the blessing which arises from living faith in Him …. You will not be released from your great guilt of sin and with it burdened you will enter the kingdom of the beyond after your death, where no light and no beatitude awaits you, because you do not avail yourselves of the grace(s) of the act of salvation on earth, which require faith in Him …. And if you humans think you cannot believe in Jesus and His act of salvation, then only want what is right in your heart.… want the truth and ask God, Whom you acknowledge as your creator, to grant you the truth …. And you will truly receive right enlightenment about Jesus’ work of redemption. You will receive knowledge, in whatever way it may be …. which you then willingly accept because you inwardly feel that it is the truth. For God does not want you to believe blindly …. He wants you to be serious about standing in the truth …. And therefore He will also help you to gain a living faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, because only such faith can open the kingdom of light for you, because only in living faith will you recognize the father Who died for you on the cross in order to redeem you …. The truth will bring you full assurance that you have been redeemed from sin and death …. On the other hand, wrong or inadequate knowledge will cause you to doubt and you will reject the divine redeemer and thus also God Himself, but you will have to profess Him in earthly life if you don’t want to have lived it in vain. Just try to attain a living faith in Jesus Christ and pray for it with all your heart and soul …. And the gates to beatitude will open for you, you will be allowed to enter the kingdom of light after your death, you will no longer be burdened by sin and you will only ever be allowed to experience His infinite love and mercy and praise and glorify Him …. And through the truth you will still be able to believe on earth and receive this truth again and again through His word, which God Himself conveys to earth, so that people will find Jesus Christ through the truth and thus also Himself, Who was in Him and Who died on the cross for you and your guilt of sin …._>Amen

Acquisition of spiritual knowledge ….

B.D. 7843 from March 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

To possess spiritual knowledge is only possible in a certain degree of maturity of the soul, i.e. it must have ignited (awakened) the spiritual spark within itself through a life of love, which now also opens up its understanding for spiritual knowledge, otherwise the human being only reads dead letters which give him no light. To possess spiritual knowledge is therefore already proof that the human being is on the path to ascent …. It is proof that he has already entered into the bond with God, that his spiritual spark has received that knowledge from God Himself which is inseparably connected to the father-spirit from eternity. But anyone who possesses spiritual knowledge cannot be idle, he will use his knowledge, he will constantly strive for increased knowledge, and he will also try to transfer his knowledge to his fellow human beings because he feels that he represents the right knowledge, that it is the truth and that this truth will bring blessings to himself and also to his fellow human beings. And therefore every person can consider himself fortunate who has gained spiritual knowledge which is understandable to him, which provides him with answers to questions which could not be answered by human beings. For this person no longer believes in a merely earthly life, but his thoughts are now often spiritually directed and his way of life is also carried out according to this spiritual knowledge. The human being strives to live in love, to enter into God’s will …. inwardly strives towards God, he begins to despise the world and its goods and only uses them as far as the preservation of the body requires. But he knows that life is not an end in itself but a means to an end …. Yet he first has to be introduced to spiritual knowledge …. His intellect must first occupy itself, and then it is up to his will whether the knowledge, which is supplied to him from outside, penetrates the heart and takes root there. And only then can this knowledge become spiritual knowledge and increase, which, however, always presupposes a life of love which the human being can lead on the basis of divine commandments but also of inner impulse, and then his knowledge will increase accordingly from within …. through the working of the divine spirit which rests as a spark in every human being’s soul. But if the human being has no spiritual knowledge at all his earthly life has been in vain so far, it has not yet brought him any spiritual success, he cannot register any degree of spiritual progress, he is still completely in darkness because the light in him has not yet been able to shine, because the spiritual spark has not yet been ignited and therefore it is still night in him. And this state is worrying for the human being, for it proves his spiritual low, it proves the uselessness of his earthly life so far and the danger he is in if he does not change …. which can only happen if he lives a life of love. Love is light, and love gives light to man …. Love awakens the spiritual spark to life, love connects the human being and thus also his spirit with God, and love therefore brings him knowledge …. And this is why you humans are constantly admonished to live a life of love, this is why the divine commandments of love are constantly held up to you, which Jesus gave you and exemplified to you when He lived on earth and which will always be the most urgent thing for you if you want to ascend in your development as long as you live on earth …. Without love no human being will attain wisdom, i.e. the spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth; and without love there will be no maturing of the soul which shall shape itself such that it can enter the kingdom of light and beatitude after its departure from this earth …. For it shall attain realization on earth, the spiritual darkness shall already fall away from it on earth, it shall attain light, it shall gain knowledge which informs it of all correlations and which will also make it happy, because it will only now enter the original state again in which it was in the beginning …._>Amen

God's address to the souls in darkness ….

B.D. 7844 from March 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I am a kind father, full of mercy and long-suffering, full of patience and love, and you will never need to fear that I will turn away from you, even if you have become sinful, even if you have distanced yourselves from Me and resisted Me …. My love and grace is for you nevertheless, and I seek to help you who, through your sinfulness, have also fallen into wickedness …. I take care of you …. I send My messengers to you and they speak to you as human beings so that you will believe sooner than if I were to address you Myself …. which, however, would not be possible in your sinful state because then you would not be able to tolerate the light which would shine upon you if you were addressed directly. But you shall nevertheless experience the benefit of light when small sparks of light flash up and illuminate the darkness in which you still dwell as a result of your sin, as a result of your inner defensive position towards Me, which always brought a state of darkness and wretchedness for you …. But it can also become light again around you …. You just have to believe that the God Who called you into life is a God of love Who does not want His living creations to live in wretchedness but wants to make them happy forever. Therefore you should turn to this God of love and ask Him to have mercy on you …. And you will learn about Jesus Christ, Who once walked the earth as your brother in order to redeem you from your guilt of sin …. You will learn of Him and also of His work of redemption, of His death on the cross, which He suffered for your guilt …. And you will also learn that you must turn to Him, and when you do so you will also recognize that it was your God and father from eternity Who laid down His life on the cross for your guilt …. and then you will truly be saved for all eternity, then you will be drawn to Me in Jesus, and you will make use of My love and grace, My mercy, gentleness and patience …. You will ask Me to accept you, and now you have given up your resistance and stepped out of darkness into brightest light. Your state has changed into a state of bliss, and you will now be full of love yourselves and distribute love to all those who, like you, dwelled in deepest darkness (shall reach the light) …. Let all of you be addressed by My messengers who want to bring you light into the darkness; follow the sparks of light when they flash in the darkness and you will truly be guided to where you may hear My word …. the word which is directly conveyed by Me to earth and which also resounds in the kingdom of the beyond in order to bring salvation to the souls there which are in great distress …. And believe that you were created by a God of love Who also wants you to be blessed, you who made yourselves unworthy of this bliss …. But I see your suffering, your darkness, I want to help you find the light, so that you return to Me again, Who is the light of eternity and Who wants to and can give you beatitude. And believe that I am waiting in Jesus for your coming to Me, that you only need to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the divine redeemer and that you will then no longer refuse to acknowledge Me as you once did but return to the father from Whom you once originated …. Let yourselves be redeemed, rise from the depths, follow the light which occasionally flashes upon you, and you will truly be saved from darkness, you will ascend to the light and be blessed …._>Amen

Deepening into the word of God ….

B.D. 7845 from March 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

What leads you towards perfection is repeatedly announced to you through My word: You should work on your soul, you should bring it to maturity as long as you walk the earth as a human being …. You should change your nature into love. For you lack love as long as you do not turn to Me and open yourselves for My illumination of love. And therefore I speak to you again and again, and it should always be your desire to hear Me, you should desire the ‘word of God’ and again and again take time to immerse yourselves in My word, be it by reading or listening to My word of God or also by intimate thoughts which have Me as their content …. You should connect with Me as often as possible …. and your earthly course will truly not be in vain. As long as you let Me speak to you, you will also know My will, you will know My teaching of love, My lawful order; you will know your purpose of earthly life, and you need only take My word to heart, think it through and live it out according to My will …. And then you will also carry out the work of the soul, you will help it to perfection and make use of the blessings with which I abundantly shower you. Thus you will then live a spiritual life next to your earthly life, which will also make demands on you but which can be easily led if you think of the soul‘s life first, because its maturing is the actual purpose of earthly life. But anyone who never lets Me Myself speak to him, who never desires the ‘word of God’, his life will be an idle one, and his soul will not have taken a step in its higher development at the end, for it has only lived out its earthly life and the soul has not gained any advantage, it is on the same level as at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being and will enter the kingdom of the beyond in a dark state if it has the grace to be called away before the end …. which can therefore be called a grace because it still has the opportunity to mature in the spiritual kingdom if its resistance then is not the same as on earth …. But if it still lives on this earth until the end without having changed beforehand, its fate will irrevocably be a new banishment into matter, because then there will no longer be a possibility to ascend in the beyond; for then the gates will be closed there too and a separation of spirits will occur …. as it is proclaimed. For this reason every person should let himself be addressed by Me so that he will become aware of the seriousness of his situation …. he should seek to know My will and submit himself to this will of his own accord, and he will truly still be saved, because I will not let a soul fall whose good will I recognize, whose resistance against Me subsides and which listens to Me when I speak to it. Only the human being should ask himself why he lives on earth …. He should try to fathom the purpose of earthly life and will always be assisted by Me so that it will be fulfilled …. He will be addressed by Me in various ways so that his soul will be touched and begin to work on itself. And it should only be willing to work with love …. Then the right realization will truly come to it, then it will also seek and find the bond with Me, and earthly life will not be lived in vain, because I will certainly help where the soul itself is still too weak, and with My help it will certainly reach its aim. Therefore don’t shut yourselves off when I want to speak to you, for I have many ways and many means to address you, only you should not resist Me, for I will not violently break it, yet then you will be in great danger …. But I want you not to perish; I want you to gain eternal life and will therefore never leave you without help …._>Amen

Remembrance …. rejoicing in the kingdom of light ….

B.D. 7846 from March 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

One day you will be able to look back and follow your whole course of development when you have entered the kingdom of light, and you will not be able to praise My love and grace enough and thank Me when you realize how I only ever endeavoured to create spiritual progress for you so that the path to Me became ever shorter and you were able to reach Me one day. But during your earthly life as a human being your recollection has to be taken away from you, for you have to pass the last earthly life test in free will, but this would make the recollection of your past life in the creations of earth impossible, for you would turn to Me driven by fear. Yet this would not be enough for Me, for I want your love …. I want your voluntary return to Me which will then also prove your love for Me. Nevertheless, I instruct you about your infinitely long process of development, only you are not forced to believe this, and even if you believe it you don’t know about the torments and the state of wretchedness during the time when your will is still bound …. you don’t let yourselves be impressed to such an extent that you now change your will out of fear. Your nature alone will always be decisive as to whether you change it into love …. Accordingly, your desire for Me and the guarantee for your voluntary return to Me. But again, it is good if the knowledge of the state of torment in the bound will is presented to you, for it can make you think, and it can also convince you of My infinite love and patience which does everything to win you back again …. The knowledge can cause you to lead your way of life responsibly and make an effort to fulfil My will, of which you also take notice as soon as this knowledge is also presented to you. But it is always your free will how you adjust yourselves to such knowledge which informs you of a long course of development before the embodiment as a human being. And that is why only few people consciously live their earthly life. For only a few accept such knowledge, only a few allow themselves to be taught by My messengers, and I can only speak to very few in order to impart this knowledge to them. Yet the jubilation in the kingdom of light will be indescribable when the soul has completed its earthly life, when it has voluntarily taken the path to Me, when it brightly and clearly overlooks everything and thus also overlooks its long course of development …. Then My greater than great love will become apparent to it, then the love for Me will also flare up ever more hotly in it, and then it will also want to show its gratitude, and it will want to take part in the work of redemption in order to help the still struggling spiritual being to attain the same happiness and the same abundance of light in bliss again …. For love impels it to constant activity, love is meant for Me and also for the still wretched spirits, and love does not rest, for it wants to make everything happy and know everything blissfully that once came forth from Me …. And therefore My love is also constantly endeavouring to return the spiritual substance, and it truly does everything to make the path easier for you, which is of utmost importance especially in the human stage, because free will decides and I constantly influence this will in a good sense but without forcing it. But once I will also certainly reach the aim that you return in free will; but you yourselves can also endlessly prolong the time you need for this if you fail in earthly life as a human being and turn your will wrong again …. yet as soon as you keep to My word, which is offered to you again and again, you can also be certain that you will reach the aim …. For then you will also receive the strength to ascend, and then you will also fulfil My will of your own accord and rightly pass your final test …. And you will thank Me and praise and glorify Me eternally when you are allowed to enter the kingdom of light where you may behold Me face to face …._>Amen

Only love will achieve the return ….

B.D. 7847 from March 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I want to guide you into beatitude …. consequently I will also do everything that will put you into the state of maturity when you yourselves have the will to become blessed. Love, however, guarantees this state of maturity, love guarantees happiness, because love signifies unification with Me and then I can also give you the bliss caused by My emanation of love. Thus time and again I encourage you through My Word to do kind deeds, I arrange your earthly fate such that you will have many opportunities to serve with love …. I try to ignite the spark of love in you which spreads and seizes everything with its glow. You can only become blessed through love because it was your original state, since you once came forth from My love and therefore were love yourselves in your fundamental substance …. And you were happy in your original state since you were closely connected to Me and thus constantly received My emanation of love which could only be bliss.

The fact that you changed your nature into the opposite of yourselves, that you rejected My emanation of love, that you turned towards the one who was devoid of all love, has made you wretched too …. But you are My living creations, and My infinite love will not allow you to be eternally wretched, for love wants to bestow happiness, love wants to know happiness and make happy …. and My love will never end …. Thus, as long as you are wretched because your nature is still imperfect, since it has not changed back into love, I will pursue you with My love and thus never leave you to yourselves …. and consequently you cannot be lost forever. But you can prolong the time of your wretchedness yourselves, you can let an infinitely long time pass by without endeavouring to change your nature, and you provide the evidence of this in your earthly life or you would make use of this short earthly life in order to regain your state of blissfulness.

And therefore I often have to intervene harshly, I have to bring the immense earthly hardship home to you which could prompt you into lovingly assisting your fellow human beings, and I have to let you experience such hardship yourselves so that you feel for yourselves how soothingly another person’s kind deed can affect you, and thereby you will become motivated yourselves to reciprocate such actions of love …. For only love can achieve a change of your nature, only love will put you into the original state again where you are happy. Yet My love takes all your weakness and faults into account, My love knows your imperfection, your weakness of will and former resistance and yet reveals itself to you anyway, it will help you time and again during earthly and spiritual hardship in order to gain your love too …. For then you will be saved for all eternity.

And if you always just open your eyes and look around yourselves during your earthly life you will be able to recognise My infinite love which is intended for you, My living creations. For everything around you was only created for you, creation emerged for the sake of your return, you experience your existence as a human being for the sake of your return, and for the sake of your return I reveal Myself every day through happenings and experiences of all kinds. For I don’t want to leave you in wretchedness, I want you to recognise Me in earthly life as your God and Creator, as your Father Who loves you and to Whom you shall belong again as in the beginning ….

And truly, one day you will be blessed again, one day you will push towards Me full of love, one day you will return to Me as children into your Father’s house …. And I will always help so that you won’t delay this return due to your own fault …. but I will always leave you your free will which is part of supreme blissfulness since it is the evidence of your divinity. And therefore you have to become active yourselves, you have to live in accordance with My commandments of love, you have to improve yourselves and shape your nature into love, you have to fight against selfish love and engross yourselves in unselfish neighbourly love …. Yet without love you cannot become blessed ….

Amen

Call to Jesus …. address to souls beyond ….

B.D. 7848 from March 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And you will only be saved if you let yourselves be addressed by Me, for My address guarantees you grace and strength which you need for your ascent. You are still in the abyss as long as the light of realization does not shine upon you …. But if you have light then you will also know which path you have to take. Then you come to Me yourselves in Jesus and ask Me for forgiveness of your sins, for redemption …. And this small light will always be kindled for you, for the knowledge of Jesus and His act of salvation is necessary for you to believe in Him and take the path to Him. However, if you still live in darkness then you don’t know Him, your God and father of eternity …. Then your thoughts are wrongly directed, then you walk in dark spiritual night, you are blind in spirit because you are still in the bondage of My adversary from whom the divine redeemer Jesus Christ has to release you …. so that you will become free and now also have access to the kingdom of light …. And you can be certain that the knowledge of Him will be conveyed to you again and again, that a small light from Me will shine upon you again and again and that you only have to enter this glow of light yourselves in order to also gain the realization that there is one Who can release you from the darkness. And if you take the path to Him then you will also be safely led out of the darkness, then you will also receive the strength to take the path upwards, for the path of ascent requires strength, and again and again My infinite love grants you blessings which you have not deserved because you sank into darkness through your own fault. Yet even if you have become sinful of your own free will I am always willing to forgive your guilt of sin if only you acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus, Who suffered death on the cross for you in order to redeem you. No other can bring you salvation from darkness, no other can loosen your chains which My adversary has thrown over you, no other opens the gate to the kingdom of light for you than Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world …. For in Him I have embodied Myself, in the shell of the man Jesus the great spirit of eternity has manifested Himself …. Thus it is I Myself Whom you call upon for the redemption of guilt when you call upon Jesus and appeal for His salvation. And you who know nothing about Him …. whether on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond …. you must therefore be given the knowledge, and therefore My name shall be proclaimed in the world, therefore Jesus’ act of salvation shall be mentioned, therefore I instruct My disciples of the last days in all truth about the mission of the man Jesus, so that you will also be able to believe if you are willing to believe. Through My word I impart the knowledge to you which is necessary for you to take the path to Me, for you must take the path to the cross, through your acknowledgement of Jesus Christ you must also acknowledge Me Myself, just as you once rejected Me and therefore became sinful. And you will truly not go astray if you accept this knowledge, if you call upon Jesus Christ for mercy. He will truly change your wretched fate into a blessed one, He will take care of you and lead you to the heights …. And you, who still languish in darkness, will become increasingly brighter; you will feel at ease in the light and constantly desire more to be illuminated by Me Myself, to hear My word, which is a direct illumination of love on My part …. You will truly not remain in the abyss, for as soon as you call upon Jesus He will stretch His hands out to you in kind compassion, which you need only grasp in order to be lifted up from the abyss …. You will find entrance into the kingdom of light as soon as you approach Him for the redemption of your guilt …. For My light shines into the darkness, and blessed are those who follow the rays and come to Jesus Christ …._>Amen

What is creation? …. reshaped power ….

B.D. 7849 from March 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When the world was created, the fall of man had already taken place in the kingdom of the spirits, for this was the cause of creation …. it was the cause for a world to arise which was formed from the strength which flowed forth from Me when I created the spiritual beings. It was a world whose substance was precisely that once created spiritual substance which fell away from Me. The strength emanated by Me for the creation of those beings did not work according to My will, those beings did not fulfil their purpose, and thus I gave the strength another purpose …. I dissolved the beings, the fallen spiritual beings, and now let creations of a different kind arise from the strength …. For the power had to become active according to the law of eternity …. It was not a lifeless world which now came into being, for all strength expresses itself, it is constantly active. And thus My will also assigned each work of creation its purpose, which was then fulfilled by the inherent strength in the law of compulsion …. Thus the beings were transformed into works of creation of various kinds, thus it was certainly a ‘spiritual’ world but the strength had condensed into form, visible creations had arisen through My will …. However, they were only visible to the human being, to the being which, having once fallen, had passed through this creation for the purpose of changing back to Me, from Whom it had once fallen away. Thus the human being can see My creations and he can also be instructed as to what this creation is in its essence …. And when his soul has attained a certain degree of maturity then the human being knows that he lives in the midst of the once fallen spiritual substance, that everything around him is reshaped spiritual strength which was once formed into beings which My will of love let arise …. To possess this realization is already the sign that the once fallen original spirit …. the human being …. is close to its original state and that everything around him is a transformed spiritual force and that it only needs to take a few more steps to arrive at Me again, at its father from eternity …. What is creation? …. Every person should ask himself this question, and if his question is serious he will certainly receive clarification and be given proof that he is already in a high state of development. The strength which flows forth from Me must become effective, it cannot remain inactive. But the beings called into life by Me refused to carry out the activity assigned to them; they turned away from Me, closed themselves to the inflowing strength of love and consequently also became incapable of activity. They hardened in their substance …. which is why I dissolved them and let them become creations of a different kind, so that the strength could become effective again, and this according to My will. But My love and My wisdom also intended a plan with the creation: That which once voluntarily refused to be active in My will now exercises the activity in the law of compulsion, and thus the once emanated strength was induced into a serving activity. That is the meaning and purpose of the whole of creation, that the strength becomes effective according to My will …. And thus every work of creation also has its purpose, which again serves another work of creation to come into being and to exist. Everything that is visible to you shall remind you of My greater than great love and wisdom, for you shall recognize everything as a work of help for the fallen original spirits to regain their former nature, where they were exceedingly full of light and mighty …. You should see in everything that is visible to you the path I have prepared for My living creations so that they can return to their origin on it again; you should learn to look at creation as a great work of mercy by Me which gives you the opportunity to attain the beatitude again which you gave away yourselves of your own free will. But you should also never forget that you yourselves, in the stage as a human being, have to strive for the final perfection, because this can only be achieved in free will. Therefore you should also learn about your earthly progress through this creation and now try to achieve with all your strength that you will find the union with Me again on earth, which you once voluntarily severed. For you shall finally return to Me from Whom you once came forth in all perfection …._>Amen

The true church of Christ …. Peter, the rock ….

B.D. 7850 from March 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Every devout Christian belongs to the church which I Myself founded on earth …. But I emphasize: every devout Christian …. For many people only call themselves ‘Christians’ because they belong to a ‘Christian’ denomination, to a denomination which certainly preaches of Christ …. but this does not prove that the people also have a living faith in Him …. And I demand this faith in Me because My church is built upon a profound, living faith. People do not, in fact, openly reject the teachings which have been passed on in tradition …. they dare not disagree, but they have no profound unquestionable faith in My act of Salvation, in My actions as a human being on this earth. Therefore, I cannot acknowledge them as living Christians who belong to My church either, rather they are mere nominal members, formal Christians …. They are people who have never spent serious thought on the problem of God’s human manifestation in Jesus, nor do they know about the mission of Jesus the human being, instead they merely consider the events surrounding Jesus the man as a myth, possibly believing in Him as an idealist who wanted the best for His fellow human beings …. But even this cannot be rated by Me as ‘faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation’ ….

However, anyone with a living faith also knows why I demand such faith, so that I can bestow eternal bliss upon him …. This is because an irrevocable part of it is love, only this gives birth to a living faith, and you humans must have this love in order to clearly understand the significance of My act of Salvation for humanity and the reason for My life on earth. And only those who have arrived at such awareness can talk about a maturing of their souls, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life as a human being …. Because My spirit, which I promised to everyone who belongs to My church, to everyone who believes in Me, is working in them …. Enlightenment by the spirit is the sign of belonging to My church, which I Myself founded on earth and if you humans call yourselves ‘Christians’ while your spirit is not yet enlightened the name ‘Christ’ cannot mean anything at to you at all …. You are outside of My church even if you belong to an organisation which speaks of Me, because you do not heed the only important sermon: that you should fulfil the commandments of love, which are undeniably taught by every church but which are not made the focal point and therefore it mainly produces dead Christians. However, anyone living with love can belong to any ecclesiastical organisation …. he will be a member of My church, because it is built on the living faith which sprung to life through love …. You can only become blessed through love ….

Thus, you will have to comply with My divine teaching of love and thereby prove to Me that you want to belong to My church. And since the divine teaching of love is being preached in every Christian organisation you have to exemplify this teaching first and foremost, you should not give precedence to other additional commandments by people, for these do not benefit the soul’s maturity but only stop you from fulfilling My will, Who gave you the commandments of love for God and other people. Thus, living Christians, who will subsequently be regarded as members of the church founded by Me, will be able to emerge from every church. But not one of these churches can claim to be the only beatifying one, because only love results in blissfulness and this love can and will be practised by followers of all denominations, who will then also be regarded as true Christians, who are aspirants for My kingdom which is not of this world. Consequently, it is irrelevant which school of thought you join in earthly life if only your life of love leads you to a living faith in Me and My act of Salvation …. Then I will admit you into My church, then you will also exemplify My Word which I taught on earth; you can follow Me by living with love, as I have done. In this way you will become true followers of My teaching, because I came to earth to ignite the love which you humans had stifled due to My adversary’s influence …. I taught love and exemplified it …. and anyone living with love like Me follows Me, he joins Me …. He belongs to the church I founded because he has the same faith as Peter, the rock on which I built My church …. Do understand these Words correctly and do not apply their wrong interpretation …. Because Peter’s followers are only those who, by means of a life of love, have acquired the very same solid faith within themselves and who thus have the right to call themselves followers of ‘My church’ ….

Amen

Complete devotion to God is return to Him ….

B.D. 7851 from March 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And it is enough for you to know that all things are known to Me, that I know every person’s thoughts and that nothing can remain hidden from Me because I permeate everything, because I know everything that happens in you and therefore you cannot deceive Me. And when you have this realization you can only worship Me in spirit and in truth, then your mouth will not just speak empty words, then you will openly and confidently direct your thoughts to Me and present all your needs to Me, you will not try to gloss over anything, you will not want to hide anything from Me, and then you will hand yourselves over to Me and let Me rule according to My wisdom and My love, for then you will have the right concept of God …. I am the most perfect being for you, you no longer apply a human standard to Me and make yourselves My own …. You recognize Me as your God and father of eternity and also consciously acknowledge Me. And because you recognize Me as the most perfect being you will also love Me …. and love has no secrets from each other, you offer your heart to Me completely openly, you don’t try to hide anything, for the love within you urges you to completely devote yourselves to Me, it gives you complete trust …. Love now establishes the right relationship with Me: the relationship of a child with its father. Love indissolubly unites the child with the father and the aim is reached, the return to the father, to Me, from Whom the child once came forth as a creature. You humans should all gain this realization during your earthly life that the living God, Whom you certainly acknowledge as creator above you, wants to be your father with Whom you should seek intimate unity …. Who wants to possess your whole heart because He loves you, because you came forth from His love …. And therefore you should also know that I am supremely perfect …. But perfection includes everything: Love, wisdom, power, justice, mercy, long-suffering, patience …. And you shall be allowed to experience all these qualities in yourselves, so that you may learn to know and love Me …. And you should never doubt that the most perfect being loves you and longs for your love, that It longs for your union with It and therefore will also reveal Itself to you again and again as the most perfect being. And you should only open yourselves, thus let yourselves be drawn by Me without inner resistance …. And then you will push towards Me of your own accord, because you will learn to recognize Me as soon as only My love can touch you. Then you will humbly approach Me and entrust yourselves to Me, then you will no longer hold back, then you will understand My nature, that it can only be supremely perfect, and in the awareness of your own weakness and imperfection you will give yourselves to Me …. But devotion to Me is union with Me; complete devotion to Me is the return to Me; then the human being himself has broken down all barriers which still existed between him and Me …. he has become Mine and will remain so for all eternity …._>Amen

Knowledge of the spiritual motives of the work of redemption ….

B.D. 7852 from March 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is up to you yourselves how you will engage in My work of redemption, for your will is free …. I will not force a person to take the path to the cross, he has to walk it on his own …. but I will always make sure that he receives the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, because the path to Him is also the path to Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation Myself in the human being Jesus. And this knowledge must correspond to the truth, for it is not enough to merely mention an event whose significance is not made comprehensible to you. Nor is it enough to look at it from an earthly-human point of view, for profound spiritual motives were the reason why the man Jesus walked across earth and suffered the most bitter suffering and finally the most agonising death on the cross …. And these spiritual motives will give you light and now also determine your will to acknowledge Him and consciously avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation if only you are of good will. If this knowledge is presented to you incomprehensibly then you will never recognize and acknowledge Him as your redeemer from sin and death, for only the pure truth will bring you the right light as soon as you take a stand on it. And since I long for your return to Me, Who embodied Myself in the man Jesus in order to redeem you humans, I will also always make sure that you are instructed in the truth about Him, because I want you to take the path to the cross, that you also carry your guilt of sin there, that you also appeal to Him for forgiveness of your guilt …. For then you will also take the path to Me, your God and father from eternity, and you will return to your father’s house …. But in the end time My adversary rages, and he fights with all means against it, that it becomes light in you …. In the last days the image of the divine redeemer fades more and more among people, they don’t know or recognize Him, they don’t know the significance of His earthly life, they often completely doubt His existence or they reject everything they are told without any reservations and don’t know that they also reject Me Myself with Him, for He and I are one and I Myself came to earth in Jesus in order to release you humans from My adversary’s control. But he wants to stop everything that could give you humans clarity, he wants to block the path which leads to Me, and therefore he also wants to eradicate from you humans all knowledge, all truth about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, he wants to induce you to deny Him, He wants to cause you to deny Him in order to keep you under his control from which, however, Jesus Christ would like to release you and can do so if you are of the same will to be released by Him and approach Me Myself in Jesus to help you and redeem your guilt of sin …. And again and again I will therefore address you humans and again and again point out the act of salvation and its significance to you, I will enlighten you and make the spiritual motives of My human manifestation in Jesus comprehensible to you, I will instruct you in the truth, because this alone can bring you the right light, and again and again I will admonish you to take a stand yourselves on the spiritual knowledge conveyed to you, so that you will find the right path, the path to the cross …. For no other path leads to beatitude, you must take the path Jesus took, you must follow Him and He will truly open the gates to beatitude for you, He will not leave you in darkness, He will release you from the adversary’s power, for if you take the path to Him you will also take the path to Me, Who was Myself in Him when He accomplished the act of salvation …. You come to Me, Who manifested Myself in Jesus, in order to be able to be visible to you, My living creations. Only ever let yourselves be instructed in truth and then you will also be drawn to Me, Whom you only learn to love through truth and Who constantly draws you to Himself through His love, Who will not rest until you have returned eternally …. until you have become Mine and will now remain Mine forever …._>Amen

Strokes of fate …. Spiritual death ….

B.D. 7853 from March 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

People who no longer have faith in a God and Creator, in the soul’s continuation of life after death, have already succumbed to spiritual death, for they do not believe that they live on earth for a purpose and reason but only regard this life as an end in itself. They only move on an earthly level, their thoughts don’t find the path into the spiritual kingdom, for they refuse to accept and follow thoughts which originate from there. They are purely humanly-orientated creatures with such a low degree of maturity that the destiny of a renewed banishment almost certainly awaits them, because their free will, instead of striving upwards, aims downwards again …. They have already attained some life and yet surrender to death again …. And neither can they be stopped because it is their free will, because it concerns the last and entirely free decision of will in earthly life. God, however, wants to give everlasting life to people …. And people must accept it from His hand, they cannot receive it from anywhere else than from their eternal God and Creator, nevertheless, they don’t believe in Him and thus they won’t ask Him for it either. Consequently, He can only impose upon them a destiny in earthly life which dissuades them from the material world and makes them think …. He can only shatter their earthly happiness and hopes because he wants to save them, because He wants to help them to attain the life which will last forever …. For if the human being’s every earthly wish and craving finds fulfilment, he will constantly want more and increasingly turn his thoughts towards earthly things, and then his life will only be an end in itself for him but never become the means to an end.

You should therefore not be surprised that events which, in an earthly sense, have a disastrous effect on those who are affected by them, will increase during the last days …. that accidents and all kinds of disasters will claim countless human lives, that earthly possessions will be destroyed and that people will have to suffer illness and distress …. These are merely the means used by God Himself in order to find access to those people’s hearts who refuse access to Him as long as their earthly way of life is good …. Anything He can still do will be done by Him in order to save those people who are approaching death. For spiritual death is far worse than physical death, which need not affect the soul if the person has lived his earthly life appropriately …. the soul cannot die but it must suffer the consequences of the person’s thinking and conduct on earth. It will irrevocably have to experience the fate of renewed banishment if it still hasn’t found God before the end, if it does not learn to recognise Him before the end and consciously acknowledges Him and appeals to Him for help and mercy in its spiritual adversity. And to make this possible much is yet to happen which you don’t think you can reconcile with the love of a God …. But it is love, no matter how cruel it seems to you, for the soul’s spiritual death is far more painful than the most horrendous strokes of fate can be on this earth …. For earthly life comes to an end, the soul, however, must spend an infinitely long time in torment and darkness again before it will receive the grace once more to live on earth as a human being with the same task: to voluntarily make a decision in favour of the One from Whom it once originated …. to voluntarily decide in favour of God from Whom it once voluntarily turned away and therefore became wretched. And it can only become blissfully happy again if it has fulfilled the meaning and purpose of its existence as a human being …. Then it will attain life again, it will no longer need to fear death, it will live forever as soon as it returns to God once more, as soon as it has united with Him again, for which its existence as a human being provided it with the opportunity to do and its will made the right decision ….

Amen

Sacrifice and renunciation ….

B.D. 7854 from March 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The father fulfils all your requests which you send up to Him in spirit and in truth …. For it is only possible for you to receive true enlightenment in a spiritual way if you desire it. Yet you should also be aware of the fact that you must also prove yourselves worthy of being addressed by Me and that you therefore must also have the firm will to live for My pleasure …. Hence your salvation should prompt you to ask Me questions, not earthly motives, for I want to win your souls and for the sake of this purpose you listen to My word. And so I ask you: Why don’t you give yourselves completely to Me? …. Why do you still seek the world and its lust? …. Why is it so difficult for you to renounce the latter when you know that I have far more glorious joys in store for you which will compensate you a thousandfold for everything you voluntarily sacrificed to Me on earth? …. All My love belongs to you, and this desires your love in return …. and you shall prove it to Me by also being willing to make sacrifices to Me. And you will know for yourselves when and how you can bring Me a sacrifice …. and truly, every sacrifice will result in its blessing. You yourselves have free will and I can only call out to you: Remember your souls …. But whatever you do or refrain from doing must be done entirely voluntarily, you must not be influenced by anyone, for every influence can also have the opposite effect, that you inwardly rebel and distance yourselves from Me. You should put self-love on the back burner but let neighbourly love come to the fore, and you will truly achieve much …. and always seek refuge with Me …. For you should know that My adversary constantly tries to harass you and that you only reject him if you take the path to Me. (20.3.1961) And I want your love …. as soon as it is meant for Me you will no longer be able to love anything apart from Me which still belongs to My adversary …. Do you understand this? Love for Me also protects you from physical desire, for then I will be above everything, you will also want to gain and keep My love forever. Hence love should always motivate you to give yourselves away, love should always motivate you to relinquish …. You should always place your fellow human being’s well-being above your own desire, and through your love for your fellow human being you will also prove your love for Me. You should fight self-love, and that also means overcoming your own desires if you can help your neighbour by doing so, i.e. by making your neighbour happy, by giving and helping him when he is in need …. If you have love within you, then you also know what you have to do, for love guides your thoughts right …. Love also awakens counter-love, and you should always bear this in mind that every lack of love awakens hostility and you will then no longer be able to cope with the evil spirits which will beset you …. You should always bear in mind that I do not evaluate the deed but the will, that I always judge according to whether love is the impetus for your will and action …. I condemn all self-love, I will bless all self-sacrificing love. But where all love is missing the door is opened for the adversary and you will not easily get rid of him again. And yet I know your innermost thoughts, you cannot hide anything from Me, your thoughts are open and clear to Me. But nevertheless you should come to Me and present everything to Me with complete trust that I will help you in all adversity. But I want to see your love, for if you are without love you will never be able to unite with Me, you will not be able to pray to Me intimately either, for there is resentment in your hearts if love is not in you, because My adversary has planted the seed which will now sprout where I Myself cannot be. Therefore seek to purify your hearts from such thoughts which are not in accordance with love for Me and your neighbour. Free yourselves from every kind of selfish love because it will prevent you from showing your neighbour the love he needs in order to be able to radiate love in return. And you will join Me ever more intimately, for true love, giving love which wants to please will always lead to Me, for it does not seek its own happiness but only that of the other person. And this one alone will now also live his life with Me and I will help him if he needs My help, I will bless his good will and protect him from every adversity of body and soul …._>Amen

Divine Working of the spirit …. Speaking in tongues …. I.

B.D. 7855 from March 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is My will that everything will become clear to you, that you will receive the answer to the questions you entertain and which you present to Me for a reply. For it is necessary to still correct many errors you humans received from ignorant sources and which can only be clarified through My spirit, for it will guide you into all truth. Only My spirit can give you the right answer, but My spirit must be able to express itself, which presupposes a certain degree of maturity of soul. And it is definitely a blessing for you humans if you don’t reject this spirit within you, if you allow its working by shaping yourselves such that I can illuminate you with My spirit …. that your indwelling spiritual spark therefore seeks contact with the Father-Spirit of eternity and instructs you, that it enlightens you, that it informs you of spiritual knowledge, that it guides you into truth …. Since you still live in spiritual darkness as long as My light cannot shine in you, you urgently need light which I Myself will ignite in you if you live according to My will, if you thus work at attaining the said maturity of soul which allows for the working of My spirit in you …. And now I Am asking you: What blessing do you humans derive from My working of the spirit if you merely hear the sound of unintelligible words? …. If a person goes into raptures and speaks words you cannot understand? …. Do you believe, My spirit works like that? Do you believe that you thereby become enlightened in your thinking, that you attain realisation, that truthful knowledge is imparted to you in this way? …. You call this ‘speaking in tongues’ and don’t know what to make of such a tangle of words which are voiced by people who are controlled by evil spirits, who want to show off and deem themselves beyond being tested …. Such ‘working of the spirit’ is a deception by spirits …. which can take possession of people whose need for admiration is still too strong, who want to stand out and send themselves into ecstasies …. For that which comes from Me is light and clear, it does not spread renewed darkness amongst people. And thus, as long as you experience things which do not grant you light, not complete clarity, I Am not at work, as I Am the Light of eternity …. You humans need only ever apply the yardstick as to whether and to what extent you gain light and realisation …. Then you will have the clear answer to the question, who is at work …. For forces will never express themselves such that it only causes confusion, and I will never want you to be plunged from one question and ambiguity into another and for this emanate My working …. It is My will that there shall be light amongst people who desire the light themselves, but I also want you to turn to Me Myself and shape your hearts such that I Myself can work through My spirit in you …. I do not want you to hand yourselves over to immature spirits which throw you into ever greater darkness and are able to do so because you merely want to be imbued by ‘a spirit’ …. but not awaken the spiritual spark in you to life through love, which will then seek contact with the eternal Father-Spirit …. And this spirit will truly guide you into truth, it will speak to you clearly and comprehensibly, it will give you light, providing you seriously desire light ….

Amen

Divine working of the spirit …. Speaking in tongues …. II.

B.D. 7856 from March 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You may constantly receive My love and grace, at no time ever shall your measure be small, you shall always be given according to your desire. And thus you shall also be instructed if you are uninformed, spiritual knowledge shall be conveyed to you as soon as you require it for your salvation of soul. You shall become enlightened, and this light shines forth in you through the working of My spirit, because I love you. And nothing I bestow upon you will ever increase your darkness, it will never contribute towards spreading spiritual night over you. For when the ‘Eternal Light’ sends Its ray of love to you, you must be enlightened yourselves, everything must become clear to you. Don’t forget this fundamental truth, then you will also always make the right judgment if this is demanded of you in regards to spiritual activity whose origin is debatable. Anything that comes from Me can only be light and only ever ignite light in you …. In contrast, anything that cannot offer you light does not come from Me; instead, its source is with My adversary, whose greatest endeavour is to keep you in spiritual darkness. But now, do not raise the objection that you are incapable of making a correct judgment …. For as soon as you turn to Me with the appeal for spiritual enlightenment, as soon as your request comes from the bottom of your heart and is voiced for the sake of pure truth, you may truly also rely on the fact that it will be granted to you, for every person is pleasing to Me to whom the truth is sacred, who strives for it and who turns to Me Myself, the Eternal Truth Itself. I won’t leave you in spiritual darkness, and then you will always have the right thoughts and brightly and clearly recognise as to whether spiritual knowledge originates from Me or My adversary. However, only a few people genuinely desire truth, consequently, much can be presented as truth to the others without recognising the error. For then they will also accept everything thoughtlessly and endorse it again to their fellow human beings as truth and thereby add ever more darkness among the human race.

From My side no forceful elimination of such misguided teachings can ensue, because time and again people will be taken in by My adversary’s activity and grant him access for as long as they don’t seriously desire and request light from Me and because, until they do, countermeasures on My part will remain unsuccessful on account of people’s free will. And so I can only ever grant light to those who want to escape the darkness; but they will indeed be illuminated by My light of love, and they will always recognise where My adversary has intervened in order to confuse people’s thoughts. They will know that anything that is puzzling to people can never be My activity …. that I Am never at work when people speak what no-one can understand …. when they present themselves as being ‘filled by the spirit of God’ and cannot provide their fellow human beings with any light whatsoever. Don’t believe every spirit, instead, test them seriously …. For My opposing spirit is working as well, especially during the time of the end, and he will cause increasingly more confusion by hiding behind My Word, behind the Book of the Fathers. He will draw you humans into error and be able to do so because you believe you know the truth and therefore don’t seriously desire the truth, for which you must call upon Me for enlightenment. You believe that you can draw the truth from the Book of Books and fail to appeal to Me for the right spirit, so that you will understand this book properly, so that you won’t merely read the letter without grasping the spirit concealed behind the letter. For the letter kills, only the spirit gives life. However, you can only grasp the spiritual meaning of the Word if a light has been kindled in you, if My spirit is able to work in you which enlightens you from within, so that you then will understand the meaning of the written Word. And you should always make sure as to whether you receive a very clear explanation …. For only that which comes from Me gives you this clear explanation. What you cannot understand despite your best intentions, what makes you question even more, is not from Me …. And you can unhesitatingly reject it as the working of My opposing spirit and need not be afraid that you will be held to account because of your rejection …. For the light will always affect you beneficially, whereas the darkness will make those of you withdraw who desire light. And My spirit is not at work as long as you question, as long as you cannot see clearly, instead, it is the work of the one who fights the light, i.e. the truth, and you should keep away from him ….

Amen

Charity …. following Jesus …. truth ….

B.D. 7857 from March 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

O take My way of life as an example for all of you and follow Me …. Live a life of love, practice patience and gentleness towards your neighbour, be peaceable and merciful and only ever strive to win your fellow human being’s love, for then you will also encourage him to take you as an example and to live a life of love according to My will. Only love can help you to become blissfully happy, and therefore you must change your nature …. You must overcome selfish love, you must merge into love for your neighbour, your whole will and thinking must be borne by love …. you must not think of your neighbour in spitefulness, you must not harm him, you must not make yourselves judges over him, you must also patiently bear his weaknesses and only ever lovingly help him onto the right path so that he also recognizes himself and endeavours to change his nature …. And My blessing will rest on all will and actions, you will now follow Me in truth, Who was full of love and always ready to help. Therefore, whatever you undertake must always be determined by love …. you must always ask yourselves how I would act in your place? And your heart will always give you the answer that you only ever let love rule and don’t give room to any ignoble thoughts in your heart. But you should also always remain in truth and not let your neighbour walk in error either, you should help him to recognize his error because it cannot result in blessing. Therefore, what you recognize as error you should lovingly present to your neighbour and leave it up to him whether he comes to Me with it and asks Me Myself for right thinking, for clarification. I Myself have promised you that I will not leave you in error if you seriously desire the truth, and I will also always fulfil My promises and give you light where it is still dark in you. But then also expect the answer in your heart when you ask Me questions from your heart …. Let yourselves be addressed by Me Myself and you will also hear a clear answer within yourselves …. It is My will that you enter into a heartfelt bond with Me yourselves, that you come to Me yourselves, so that you hear My address within yourselves and then also prove yourselves how you relate to Me. And I will always give you the opportunity to do so when you are moved by thoughts which you alone are not able to judge properly …. And then you should come to Me and ask Me …. and I will instruct you correctly so that you will feel clarity within yourselves and no longer question but act according to My will, because I put this will into your heart as an answer. And so you should all act yourselves who want to belong to Me …. you should also try to influence your neighbour if you want to be lovingly active towards him and protect him from error or wrongdoing. You only ever need the father, and just as I worked on earth with love, only ever taught love and gave love, so your earthly path should only ever be determined by love, then you will truly be true followers of Me, then you will work for the benefit of your fellow human beings, then you will truly be redeemingly active on earth …._>Amen

God answers every question through the heart …. I.

B.D. 7858 from March 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Everyone can work in My vineyard if only he has the will to be of service to Me. Yet there are many different things he can do because I only require a profoundly faithful heart which emanates love for its fellow human beings …. thereby awakening love in them again and this will spread and help to gain a living faith in a God and Creator …. And everyone who has a convinced faith of his own can also proclaim Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation …. And he will be of service to Me, he will be My faithful servant, for he will also try to lead his fellow human beings to gain this faith. And I shall bless his will and manifest Myself to him, I will speak to him through his heart, he will sense it, he will be inwardly impelled to accomplish his vineyard work and be stimulated from within to speak to fellow human beings of good will when he meets them. And thus you can all serve Me and participate in the redemption work if this is your will …. The strength to do so will be conveyed to you by Me, Who knows your will and gives it My blessing. For there is great spiritual hardship because people no longer have faith, and My servants must be able to convincingly endorse this faith again if it is to be accepted by their fellow human beings, too. However, this redemption work need not be associated with any unusual activity, anyone can do it if he has living faith in Me and whose love applies to their fellow human beings suffering spiritual adversity, for My spirit works in everyone, even if it is not externally noticeable. And this silent redemptive work is frequently of greater value to Me than work of an externally obvious nature, the latter easily reveals earthly side effects which detract from the redemptive work. This risk occurs if overly eager people want to emphasise spiritual gifts …. if, regardless of where they are, they always expect My direct communication concerning personal wishes …. In that case they no longer allow Me to guide them, instead they try to oblige Me to take their wishes into account …. And then My spirit remains silent …. Then they speak themselves as people and jeopardize My working in them.

I indeed speak to all people through a human mouth if I seek to make the Gospel accessible to them in all purity, and if you humans comply with My will by living up to My Gospel then I will also be able to address every one of you through the heart, so that you will truly receive an answer to every question you have in mind …. But anyone who has not yet shaped himself though love such that he will be able to hear Me by feeling the answer I give to him, cannot expect a communication from those who would like to convey it to him either and thus the latter will pass on words which do not come from Me …. After all, it is My will that you should establish a close bond with Me yourselves, it is My will that you come to Me yourselves, that everyone should shape himself such that I will be able to answer him when he asks …. If you silently assure Me of your will to serve Me and to render redemption work you can also rest assured that I will look after you and you will truly not need any instruction conveyed to you from a fellow human being, for you thereby admit your own inadequacy: lack of love and trust in Me Who knows every question which moves you and Who will answer it if you ask Me …. The silent redemption work rendered by every individual person is truly more pleasing to Me than that carried out due to human influence, for you know that I welcome and accept all of you as My servants if you yourselves offer your services to Me and aim to fulfil My will …. Thus why do you desire confirmations which you expect Me to give to you through a human mouth? You thereby open a door for your adversary who will then try to express himself in accordance with your desire, because you demonstrate that you don’t believe in My direct working within you, because you don’t believe that I place the answer into your heart when you make contact with Me in prayer …. And due to this unbelief, he whom you should avoid will gain influence …. For he, too, uses fine words and you will seriously have to examine where these words originated from ….

Amen

God answers every question …. II.

B.D. 7859 from March 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The reason why people so easily fall prey to misconception is due to the fact that their attitude towards Me is not yet entirely correct, even if the will for it is there, that is, if they have the will to be of service to Me. Their constant bond with Me would truly protect them from error, that is, they would recognise it as such. However, this bond is still not deep enough, and thus earthly thoughts still come to the fore which are taken up and considered by the intellect, but the intellect often consults a fellow human being and he can, if he is not closely enough united with Me either, also advise him wrongly. For this reason I Am only rarely able to convey the pure truth to earth, because this necessitates the most heartfelt contact with Me which prevents all interference by other forces. And therefore, only that person who establishes this intimate bond with Me and rejects any external influence, who only listens to what I Myself say to him through the heart will be protected from erroneous influence or error. It is indeed My will that you humans should unite in love, that one shall strengthen and support the other in faith, that you treat each other as brothers and strive together towards Me as your Father, but I also want every single person to connect with Me too; I want you to ask Me for advice yourselves …. I want you yourselves to appeal to Me to fulfil your every spiritual and earthly request …. I want this direct bond with Me when it relates to personal questions and wishes …. just as I, on the other hand, send to you My mediators and messengers to whom you should listen if you receive spiritual teachings, if My Gospel is intended to be conveyed to you ….

Understand that I want to speak to you through My instruments and will always do so when ‘spiritual information’ shall be imparted to you, because you are not capable as yet of receiving such teachings or deeper wisdom directly. Then I will always say: Listen to My messengers and fulfil My will …. But I will never impart thought concepts to you through your fellow human beings which have a different content than a ‘spiritual’ one …. because you should come to Me yourselves with every personal request. You should learn to differentiate between the ‘transmission of My Word’ and ‘personal speeches’ which can be received by anyone who makes heartfelt contact with Me, whereas My Word requires a special mediator or vessel in order to be able to flow into it as an outpouring of My spirit …. And therefore you should be careful and realise that you can easily fall prey to error, for where My adversary recognises a human weakness he can effortlessly slip in and avail himself of it. However, you can rest assured that I protect ‘My Word’ from every error, from the adversary’s influence, because I want to guide you humans into the truth. Nevertheless, you should not carelessly believe every Word which rings out to you as a spiritual transmission, you should seriously scrutinise it as to whether its content is purely spiritual, whether it aims to achieve the maturing of your souls, whether it can be spoken of as given by Me for your soul’s salvation. And you should entrust your own wishes to Me, and then I will also speak to you through your heart and you will subsequently know what you should or should not do ….

Amen

Love, wisdom and power of God ….

B.D. 7860 from March 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Where My love and wisdom is active, where My might can become effective, My blessing will also be recognizable, for I only ever endeavour to help you humans to perfect yourselves on earth …. And I bless those who support Me in this endeavour, who enter into My will as a human being, who make it possible for My love, wisdom and might to express itself …. who establish a close bond with Me, their God and father of eternity …. For deep darkness is spread across the earth, people walk in spiritual darkness, they are wrongly guided in their thinking and therefore their way of life does not correspond to My will either, and it would never be possible to lead them towards perfection if a light could not shine for them which leads them out of the darkness of night …. If you humans walk in the light then you will clearly recognize the path which leads to perfection …. And you will also walk it if only you ignite the spark of light within yourselves in free will. For this spark is light whose ray can intensify if only you are of good will. My love for you is boundless, My wisdom recognizes your state, and My might can and will truly seek to improve this state if you don’t oppose Me. And therefore I convey My word to earth and bless every person who prepares himself such that he can hear My voice, that he can hear My word, which is truly the greatest means of grace for you to mature in your souls, to perfect you as long as you live on earth. You should never forget that My nature is love, that this love applies to you, My living creations, and that it wants to help you …. And this love of Mine will not let you walk in error if you seriously desire the truth. My wisdom, however, recognizes that you lack the truth but that you can only attain perfection through the truth. So what could be more obvious than for My power to express itself because My love and wisdom would like to supply you with what you lack? If only you seriously try to imagine My nature, if you first believe in My infinite love for you, then you need never fear that this love will deny itself to you …. Thus you need not fear that you, who need the truth, will be deprived of it …. because this would not correspond to My wisdom, which only wants to promote your perfection but not error, confusion and your decline …. And I truly also have the power to push away My adversary who would certainly like to counteract but cannot do so as soon as you are devoted to Me, as soon as you only want to comply with My will, as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me without reservation. Only believe in Me, believe that the father will not let His children run into ruin who trust in His protection and His love …. do not believe that My might was not sufficient to resist My adversary when he wants to oppress you …. when he tries to prevent My working on you …. Love, wisdom and power …. that is My Essence …. Love protects you, wisdom knows all means and power carries out what love and wisdom decide. And thus My ‘essence’ is always expressed in My word which I convey to you from above and which you can therefore also always recognize as My word …. For I want you humans to attain eternal life, beatitude, light …. For I am the truth, the way and the life …. Whoever entrusts himself to Me unconditionally will also truly reach the light, the truth will be presented to him, he will take the right path and irrevocably reach the life which lasts forever …. Only open yourselves to the light from above which wants to shine upon you, don’t close your hearts when My word sounds to you, when it is given to you, because you need My flow of strength of love in order to attain life …._>Amen

Free will must accept the work of redemption ….

B.D. 7861 from March 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You are bound, and this shows mercy to Me …. you are still in My adversary’s bondage as long as you don’t let yourselves be redeemed by Me. And therefore you are weakened, you lack strength and light. For he still has you under his control which prevents you from voluntarily letting yourselves be illuminated by My strength of love and coming out of your state of weakness. Yet My love is for you, My living creations, and it has also followed you into the abyss; My love wants to lift you up from the abyss, it wants to help you to ascend again, to return to Me, and My love will not rest until it has reached its aim. But you must remember Me, you must acknowledge Me as your divine redeemer, otherwise you place yourselves outside of those for whom I shed My blood on the cross. Through My crucifixion I redeemed your guilt of sin which caused you to become weak and wretched, I paid the ransom for you to My adversary, but you must now also accept My redemption, you must have the will yourselves to get away from your jailer, you must press towards Me deep in your heart and thereby prove to Me that you have changed your will, which once turned away from Me towards My adversary. And then you will truly become free from him, you will emerge from your state of weakness, you will receive strength and light again and come ever closer to Me, Who is only waiting for your union with Me in free will, which will then also provide you with abundant beatitudes. I did everything for you …. I gave My life on the cross in order to lead you out of wretchedness towards a new life, an eternal life in bliss. However, your own will always remains decisive as to how you relate to Me and My act of salvation. If you don’t come under My cross, if you keep yourselves far away from Me, then the burden of sin will remain with you, you will not be released from it and it will press you to the ground, it will keep you in the abyss and you will not be able to lift yourselves up under your burden. And then My death on the cross was in vain for you, you refuse to avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation, and you will never be able to cope with your burden of sin, you will take it with you into the kingdom of the beyond where only He can remove it from you Whom you did not want to acknowledge on earth but Whom you inevitably have to acknowledge if you want to be released from your guilt. For this reason you should take the path to the cross on earth, you should turn to your redeemer Jesus Christ Who, full of mercy, also took your guilt upon Himself when He walked the path to the cross …. You should entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for forgiveness of your guilt, Who took abode in the man Jesus in order to suffer and die for you as a human being, because I took pity on your wretchedness and weakness and wanted to help you in your adversity with My infinite love. Believe that you need Me in order to become blissfully happy and realize that you are not blissfully happy in your present state, that you are weak and helplessly dependent on My grace and mercy, that you therefore have to turn to Me Myself because I will not make your will unfree, because your will itself has to turn to Me, which once turned away from Me in blindness of thought. I died for you on the cross and took all your guilt upon Myself in order to buy your freedom back from the lord, who dragged you down with Him to the abyss …. He will not release you if you yourselves do not want Me to deliver you from his power …. But he is powerless against you if you are only willing to let yourselves be redeemed by Me …. if you go under the cross and there lay your burden of sin at My feet …. and My endless love will truly take it from you …. My endless love will open the gate into the kingdom of light for you and you will reach the life that lasts forever …._>Amen

The "bound" shall be redeemed ….

B.D. 7862 from April 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should open your hearts to My illumination of love from above and you will receive delicious spiritual knowledge, because My love pours into an open heart and thus the flow of My love is synonymous with the ‘truth from God’ which resounds in you as My word. And thus, as soon as divine truth can be bestowed upon you, you will also most lightfully recognize My once spoken word to you of spiritual meaning …. You will know how I want these words of Mine to be understood:

You are in My adversary’s chains as long as you have no faith in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, for you have become his property of your own free will, he has power over you, you are not free but creatures bound by him …. And if you want to become free again, then you must be redeemed by the one Who is stronger than he is and Who broke his power through His crucifixion, Who redeemed you humans from his power with His blood …. This one, Jesus Christ, has broken the chains, the adversary can no longer offer resistance to this one, since He gave His life on the cross in order to restore freedom to the bound creatures, in order to “redeem” them ….. But this ‘redemption’ could not take place abruptly because every creature which had emerged from My strength and love had its free will which now has to decide for itself whether the creature longs for redemption from its dungeon master, whether it wants to escape from his control. When I appointed My disciples to their ministry, when I instructed them to go out into the world in order to proclaim the gospel to all nations, I instructed them to mention My act of salvation so that people should know that I had descended to earth in order to restore their freedom …. I Myself initiated My disciples into My plan of salvation, I informed them that people were ‘bound’ and in the adversary’s power if they did not take their path to Me, that I would release them from his power …. I instructed My disciples to exercise their ministry and, in turn, to instruct their fellow human beings which path they had to take in order to escape their bondage, in order to become free from My adversary’s chains …. for they were supposed to be active in My stead, because I only lived on earth as a human being for a short time, even only with the ultimate aim of redeeming people. But anyone who fully consciously availed himself of the blessings of My act of salvation was prompted by My disciples to change his will, and his return to Me was now also guaranteed, he had taken the right path on earth and this path was now also decisive for eternity …. You humans must understand that you are still ‘bound’ when you embody yourselves on earth as a human being, and that you take this earthly path in order to find your way out of this bondage. Yet for this reason you must also know that you are bound and who keeps you bound …. And again you must know that there is one Who can bring you release from your bondage and what you must do in order to become free. The knowledge of this is conveyed to you through My word, which My true servants proclaim to you. And these servants must be taught by Me themselves so that they can impart truthful knowledge to you …. And My instruction to these servants will always be to make My will known to people. And whoever listens to these servants and messengers will therefore let them show him the path which leads to freedom …. For My servants will point him to Jesus Christ, Who alone can set them free from the adversary’s power, Who can loosen their chains because He broke the adversary’s power through His death on the cross …. He alone redeems, He alone sets them free, and it is He Who shall be proclaimed by My servants and representatives on earth. And therefore their work is also blessed, for through their service for Me they can show people the path to freedom who are therefore willing to walk it …._>Amen

7863 (Easter)

Original light from eternity …. Jesus Christ ….

My spirit has become effective in you when you enable Me to speak to you, when I convey My word to you and you hear it in your heart as My direct address. And this word shall convey the truth to you which you need in order to become blissfully happy. Everything you need to know will be announced to you through the voice of the spirit. For as long as I cannot teach you Myself you are blind in spirit, that is, you are without all knowledge, you are without inner light. But I am the original light from eternity, and all beingness which has emerged from Me shall move in this light, otherwise it cannot be blissful …. Thus I let My light emanate into infinity; I radiate through all beingness which does not oppose Me …. I let My light shine down to earth, I guide it to people who are lightless at the beginning of their embodiment …. I guide them into truth, into truthful knowledge which also explains their existence on earth and which provides them with information about the meaning and purpose of their life …. And this knowledge means light for them, which emanates from the eternal light and also leads back to the eternal light again. This knowledge is very extensive, for it encompasses My entire plan of salvation, it encompasses the work of My creation, the apostasy of the created and its return to Me …. It is an act of My greater than great love for you that I convey this knowledge to you, that I give you a light again, you who once rejected this light and thereby became darkened in spirit. But you shall not remain in this darkness forever, and therefore I Myself want to illuminate your earthly path on which you can return to Me again …. If you know about your past apostasy from Me, about your original sin, which was the reason why you once had to walk the earth as a human being, then all other knowledge will also become understandable to you …. And when I Myself can impart this knowledge to you through the voice of the spirit then you will have already come considerably closer to Me, then you will have already separated yourselves from the one who once dragged you down with him to the abyss …. You have then established the bond with Me, otherwise I would not be able to speak to you …. You have become free, you have escaped the adversary’s power, you have consciously turned to Me, your will desires Me again, from Whom you once took your departure …. And you were able to set yourselves free because the divine redeemer Jesus Christ helped you to do so, without Whom it would never be possible for you to become free from satan’s bondage. And the knowledge of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ is the strongest light which shines to you through My love, for it determines your beatitude …. You must be permeated by this light, for as long as you are without knowledge of the great act of mercy of the man Jesus you will walk along in darkened spirit and be unable to recognize another light. For in Jesus Christ I Myself, the original light from eternity, descended to earth in order to dissolve the darkness, in order to kindle a light of love in people’s hearts which illuminated their path upwards. All of you humans will come to a crossroads on your earthly journey …. And then you will be pointed to Jesus Christ and you will have to take the path to Him, Who died on the cross for you humans in order to redeem the original sin of your apostasy from Me …. My greater than great love will try to provide you all with the knowledge about Him, I will also give you all a light beforehand by trying to enlighten you about Jesus and His mission …. But first this light has to find nourishment in yourselves and light up into a bright flame. You yourselves must turn to Him of your own free will …. And then your return to Me is also assured, Who Myself in Jesus accomplished the work of salvation on the cross …. In the darkness of spirit you lack all knowledge, and darkness of spirit is when My adversary tries to push you away from the light, when he prevents you from working with love, because love is the light from eternity …. And therefore I will only ever stimulate you into loving activity and do so through the voice of conscience as long as I cannot address you directly.… But My spiritual spark in you expresses itself very quietly for the time being, so that only a small help is given to you …. And your will will then decide. And when it has decided in favour of Me then My light will shine ever brighter in it; it will recognize Jesus Christ, it will recognize Me in Him and never ever will it fall back into darkness, for My light will draw it upwards, in the light it will recognize the path and reach its aim …. he unites with Me forever …._>Amen

Redemption of guilt through death on the cross ….

B.D. 7864 from April 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

From the night of death you came to life through My death on the cross. Darkness was your fate and would have remained so if I had not taken pity on you and opened the gate into the kingdom of light for you again by redeeming your guilt of sin Myself, by shedding My blood for you, by paying the purchase price for your souls to the adversary who had held you captive for eternities until I Myself redeemed your guilt on the cross. Now he had to release you, he could no longer keep you in bondage if you are willing to release yourselves from him, if you take refuge in Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation for you …. Your guilt of sin of the past apostasy from Me was immeasurably great, and thus the work of atonement also had to be unusual …. And a soul of light, an original spirit that came forth from Me, offered itself for you …. His fallen brothers …. to make atonement for you in order to lead you back to Me Myself again, in order to clear the path into the kingdom of light for you again, which otherwise would have remained eternally blocked for you. This soul of light descended to earth, it took on a human shell, it lived a life of love as a human being and thereby prepared itself to become a vessel in which I Myself could now take shelter …. And I took abode in this human being Jesus and accomplished the work of salvation in Him …. The man Jesus took immense suffering upon Himself, for He wanted to atone for all of humanity’s guilt of sin through His path of suffering, which ended with the most bitter death on the cross …. He wanted to make satisfaction for My righteousness because He knew that no being could stay close to Me which was still burdened by sin. And I accepted His sacrifice because love brought it …. For love was in Him, and love was I Myself …. This act of becoming human in Jesus will always remain a mystery for you humans, for only when you have fathomed the ‘essence of love’ will you also be able to understand this act of love of My becoming human …. For I Myself, as ‘God’, could not suffer, the atonement had to be made by a ‘human being’ who was capable of suffering and also willing to suffer, for I could not determine a human being to make such a sacrifice for his fellow human beings …. But Jesus, the human being, was full of love, and this love determined Him to freely offer Himself as a sacrifice of atonement to the father, Whom He loved with all the ardour of His soul. Thus He accepted Me completely into His heart, for every thought, every breath, was meant for Me, from Whom He had come forth …. But he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him …. thus it was I Who completely filled the man Jesus and Who therefore also offered the sacrifice, Who accomplished the act of salvation for all people of the present, the past and the future. The man Jesus took immense suffering upon Himself in order to atone for the great guilt, and I was satisfied with this act of love and redeemed the great guilt, and the path to the kingdom of light was cleared, the bridge from the kingdom of darkness to the height was built, which can now be entered by every person who wants to ascend from the abyss …. And I conquered death, which he had brought into the world who first apostatized from Me …. I have risen from the dead, I have conquered death and acquired life for every human being who only acknowledges Me as redeemer of the world, who consciously avails himself of the graces of the work of salvation, who bears his sins under the cross and asks for forgiveness of his guilt …. I have risen from the dead to give you humans the evidence that you, too, will rise to eternal life if only you believe in Me, if only you let yourselves be redeemed by Me. Then there will be no more death for you, then you will be free from all guilt because I Myself have redeemed it as the man Jesus …., then the kingdom of light with all its glory will be open to you …., then you will truly have emerged from the night of death into the light of life, and then you will also never lose this life again, for you have now received it from My hand, Who has loved you from the beginning and will love you for all eternity …._>Amen

A renewal of earth must come ….

B.D. 7865 from April 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Earth will have to be renewed if the higher development of the spiritual beings is to progress; all works of creation will have to release the spirits so that they can continue their development within new forms, as this is the purpose of the work of creation called ‘earth’ …. For it does not just concern you humans who voluntarily ought to reach your final goal on earth but fail to do so …. it also concerns the spiritual substance bound within the form which has not yet been able to arrive at the possibility of being of service and to which the path of service shall be opened. As long as you humans do not know the meaning and purpose of creation, you will not consider the possibility of an impending transformation of the earth’s surface either. And yet it is about to happen and may only be experienced by people who have fulfilled the purpose of their earthly life, who have matured fully and therefore will populate the new earth …. Hence they also know God’s plan of Salvation, they believe that they live in the last days and expect the end and with it the coming of the Lord, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture. But there are only few of them ….

People’s low spiritual level is so obvious that the time has come when a change must happen again …. when all spirits have to be placed into forms which correspond to their state of maturity …. And thus the human being, having completely failed, will also have to be banished into hard matter again and start a new process of development; whereas the spiritual being bound within matter may occupy increasingly softer forms until it reaches the stage one day when it can take the path across earth as a human being for his last decision of will. The fact that people will experience this harsh fate of a new banishment is the result of their free will, for they no longer have any spiritual aspirations on earth, they are totally attached to matter and will therefore become what they aspired to in this earthly life. Nevertheless, they have been sufficiently admonished and warned, during their earthly life they have been informed of the purpose of earthly life, and no person will be able to say that he had absolutely no knowledge of it. The fact that he, of his own free will, had rejected everything that could have increased his maturity is his own fault which he consequently will also have to pay for. A continuation of the old earth, however, would never ensure that these people would change; they would only ever descend further and also prevent the spirits within the form from progressing further. But who will believe this if he is informed of it?

As soon as people no longer believe in God, in a continuation of life after death, in a responsibility on their part, the said low spiritual level will have been reached which necessitates the end, the dissolution of earthly creations. For in that case people’s existence on earth would be pointless, the blessing of an embodiment as a human being would no longer be made use of, the earth will have ceased to be a place of education for the spiritual beings and a total transformation will have to happen to put an end to this unspiritual state of affairs. And you humans will shortly face this transformation, you will shortly face a spiritual and earthly turning point, for the time which was granted to you for the maturing of your souls has come to an end. Until the end you will be warned and admonished, until the end you will be instructed about the purpose of your existence, you will receive the knowledge of God’s plan of Salvation, of His infinite love for all His living creations and of the possibility and help on His part to become blessed before the end arrives …. However, you have to accept all this of your own free will, you have to seriously want to fulfil the purpose of your human existence …. you have to acknowledge a God above yourselves and appeal to Him for mercy …. And truly, you will still be saved in the last hour, otherwise the Judgment will take effect on you, otherwise you will get what you are striving for …. you will turn into matter again which had kept you tied to the earth so that you didn’t take the path of ascent and therefore will end up in the abyss again ….

Amen

People need the truth ….

B.D. 7866 from April 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The transmission of the pure gospel to earth has become urgently necessary, and therefore I chose an instrument for Myself which is active in My will, because it completely subordinates its will to Mine and serves Me as a suitable vessel into which I can let My flow of love flow …. For My flow of love is ‘My word’ …. It is My gospel which I proclaim again in all purity as I did on earth …. but which has not been preserved so purely and therefore always needs correction from My side if you humans want to speak of ‘My word’ …. You church Christians do not want to believe that the pure word of God is no longer offered to you. You undoubtedly accept everything as ‘My word’ but serious reflection would reveal many contradictions, you would certainly not recognize Me Myself in this word which has been distorted by people, so that you have long since ceased to live in truth and are therefore also in danger of not reaching the aim which has been set for you in earthly life, because only truth guarantees you this aim. But again and again I therefore want to convey the pure truth to you, and you need only accept it in order to safely take the path of ascent, the aim of which is Me Myself, with Whom you should unite …. And thus I offer you the truth Myself which will enable you to attain beatitude. And you humans should listen to what is conveyed to you through an instrument chosen by Me Myself, what is brought to you as My true gospel, so that you will walk the path of truth. If I call upon you to do so, I nevertheless want you to examine everything, that you don’t accept anything thoughtlessly, for it shall become your own spiritual knowledge, and this requires a serious opinion, an examination in the will to only accept the right spiritual knowledge which corresponds to the truth. And then your thinking will truly also be enlightened, you will feel what you are allowed to accept, for the truth will beneficially touch your soul, whereas every error leaves the soul unimpressed, i.e., it will not result in spiritual progress for you. For you can truly believe that I want to convey the truth to you and that this is also possible if I find a heart which is willing to serve, which completely submits to Me and My will, which desires the truth itself and allows My spirit to work within itself. For it is the end time and it has become urgently necessary that the pure truth is presented to people …. It has become urgently necessary that I Myself take care of those who desire the truth, it has become urgently necessary that the many errors are denounced which are also spread where people believe they are ‘serving Me’ …. Although every person could recognize for himself the errors which have crept in where truth is allegedly proclaimed …. For as soon as people lived in accordance with My divine commandment of love they would also be of enlightened spirit, i.e. their thinking would be correctly directed and they would reject all misguided teachings; yet they pay too little attention to My commandments of love and therefore do not realize that they are being wrongly guided. And therefore they have to hear My divine teaching of love anew, they have to be given the gospel anew which only ever contains this teaching of love, because love is everything …. because without love the human being cannot live in truth and because without love he can never reach his final aim: the union with Me, Who am eternal love Itself …. And thus don’t be surprised when I address you humans and send you My disciples again …. don’t be surprised when I convey ‘My word’ to you in all purity, for this word is necessary if it is to become light in you, because only truth is light which originates from Me and leads back to Me again …. because only truth shows you the right path which leads to light and beatitude …._>Amen

God's infinite love wants to give itself away ….

B.D. 7867 from April 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You will enter the spheres of heavenly bliss if you have lived your earthly life in accordance with My will …. Yet it is not this promise that should persuade you to live your life correctly but your love for Me, Who wants to give you these beatitudes because I love you beyond measure but I also want to possess your love …. I created you out of My love, and this love will never end. And one day, when you have become enlightened, the concept of love, which you cannot grasp as a human being as long as you still lack love, will also have become comprehensible for you …. But to be without love is a state of unhappiness for every living creation that came forth from Me, because it is also a state of weakness and darkness in which happiness is unthinkable. A life in accordance with My will is, however, a life of love and this will also lead you back into a state of blissfulness ….

After the death of your body you will enter My kingdom which will provide you with unimaginable splendours that My love has prepared for all My beings which will join Me again in love. Love cannot do anything other than give joy and seek unification, for love wants to give itself away, it wants to please because this is the nature of love …. And since My love was overwhelming and wanted to give itself away I created beings for Myself to which I could give Myself …. I created vessels for Myself which accepted the flow of My love and I united Myself with these beings and continuously let My ray of love flow into them …. And thus I made them abundantly happy …. The fact that they eventually resisted My illumination of love was due to a special reason but it did not prevent Me from pursuing these beings with My love, it just didn’t make them happy anymore because they resisted it, because they had detached themselves from Me.

Nevertheless, since love is never-ending it will also never remain inactive but try to regain what had fallen away from it …. My love has never stopped to entice back to Me that which had fallen away and will continue to do so until it has returned to Me of its own free will. For no being can remain closed to My illumination of love forever, because love is a power which does not stay ineffective, and because the beings’ resistance will diminish sooner or later, becoming constantly less until they finally open themselves again in order to be made blissfully happy by My love for all eternity. And that which has found its way back to Me will never leave Me again …. It will not be able to descend into the abyss anymore, for once it has travelled the path through the lowest points with the ultimate accomplishment of having attained the pinnacle again it will also be inseparably united with Me, for it will have reached perfection which I was unable to give to the being Myself, since it required free will to remain in perfection, and this free will has been proven …. otherwise I could also forcibly obtain their love, but then one could never speak of unrestricted happiness, for love does not tolerate compulsion, it has to turn to Me voluntarily, which is proven by the human being when he lives on earth according to My will, when he shapes himself into love, which is his fundamental nature ….

In My kingdom, however, everything is love …. and you all shall enter this kingdom of love, you all shall be immeasurably happy one day when you unite yourselves with Me, your Father of eternity, Whose love created you and Whose love will also pursue you if you keep yourselves distant from Me …. Yet you will not remain distant from Me forever, because My love is stronger than your will of resistance, because one day you will submit yourselves to My love again, because it will also ignite itself in you and grow into a bright blaze, because I will then be and remain the goal and the object of your love for all eternity ….

Amen

Address of God to the disciples of the last days ….

B.D. 7868 from April 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Nothing shall hold you back from standing up for Me and My word; you should always be ready to testify of Me if you want to be true servants to Me who proclaim My gospel to people …. You should mention My gifts of grace, My working in you, which you can prove through the abundance of spiritual knowledge, for you will not need to fear any objection which you cannot refute, because then you speak on My behalf and your spirit is guided by Me. Great spiritual knowledge has been conveyed to you through the working of My spirit within you, and if possible you should also convey this knowledge to your fellow human beings, and especially to those who do not oppose you, who willingly listen to you, for it is then up to their will how they utilize this knowledge. You should pass on this knowledge wherever possible, for what has been given to you by Me truly has its strength within itself and must also have a beneficial effect unless My gift of grace is opposed by a defence which renders its strength ineffective. And you should not tire of working for Me and My kingdom, for this work alone will result in everlasting possessions because it is done for people’s souls. And you should always emphasize Jesus Christ’s act of salvation and stress that it is repeatedly mentioned by Me, that the redemption through Jesus Christ is the main content of the spiritual knowledge I impart to you …. You should emphasize how important the problem of redemption and becoming human is and that no person can become blessed who lives without Jesus Christ and departs from earth without Him. But you should also explain to your fellow human beings why Jesus came to earth and what His actual mission was …. You should constantly be active for Me and My kingdom, for this alone is necessary that people seek contact with Me, that they direct their thoughts into the kingdom which is not of this world …. that they don’t just remain attached to the world but that people remember their actual purpose of earthly life …. You, My servants, have been informed of everything, and you are constantly instructed so that you, too, can teach according to the truth, so that you can pass on the spiritual knowledge which is intended to be a blessing for you humans …. For I alone know why I convey this gift of grace to you, I alone know what you need, what you must know in order to attune yourselves correctly to Me, in order to successfully travel the earthly path for your soul’s maturity …. I was able to reveal Myself to you, My servants, because your will allowed it. Yet not all people can receive these revelations directly, and you should be mediators for them so that they, too, can partake of the blessings if they are willing to listen to you, if they don’t completely unbelievingly reject everything that is offered to them. Humanity is in great spiritual hardship because it lives in complete ignorance or has been instructed in wrong knowledge and lacks the truth …. therefore I want to bring them the truth so that they can believe with conviction …. for only the truth can trigger this conviction in them. You are in possession of truth and you shall carry it on …. And anyone of good will will also recognize the value of what you bring to them, for My word speaks for itself, My word has strength and is able to touch people’s hearts so that they strike Me, so that they feel My flow of grace beneficially and turn towards Me and I Myself can then take hold of them in order to never let them go again forever …. I send you, My disciples of the last days, out into the world again …. i.e., I give you the task to spread My gospel again, which you receive from Me yourselves, and I will always bless your work, you will be able to carry it out for Me because I also supply you with the strength to be able to work for Me. For you are My mediators, you are My servants in My vineyard, and truly, your father of the house will always assign you the work so that you will be able to do it …. I will take care of you spiritually and bodily, and you need only earnestly want and your work will be successful …. You will find open hearts, you will not knock at the doors in vain, for you will walk the paths where I guide you, because I know who opens himself to My address, who desires My word and whose souls can be nourished because they are of good will …._>Amen

Final aim of the act of creation: childhood of God ….

B.D. 7869 from April 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The fact that you are My share will also have to be experienced by My adversary one day, for he will not be able to keep you for himself forever, because what originated from Me must irrevocably return to Me according to the law of eternity. And he himself will also take the path to Me when he is deprived of all his strength, which he sees in his now following …. Nevertheless, it has been granted to him to also wrestle for your possessions because you once followed him voluntarily. And it will be proven which power is stronger …. My love, which applies to you, My living creations, for all eternity, or his hatred, which keeps you bound but from which you yourselves can escape as soon as this is only your will, because then you will strive back to Me again and then also experience My support in abundance …. And therefore My endeavour, as well as His, is only ever to win your will, and as this decides, so also is the ‘lord’ determined, whom you call yourselves …. And even though you still turn this will towards him for a long time, even though you still remain with him in free will for eternities, your resistance will nevertheless one day be broken and you will surrender to My love, for love is strength which achieves everything and to which you will one day surrender. And thus his strength will also diminish more and more until he himself lies powerless on the ground and will appeal to Me for an influx of strength. But eternities will still pass until then, and until then we will both wrestle for souls, for I will not give up anything which has emerged from My love …. just as he no longer wants to lose what he believes to possess eternally. But the time of distance from Me is a process of development for you towards the highest perfection, a process towards the attainment of childship to God …. You do not yet understand what this means, for you were indeed created by Me as supremely perfect beings but you were only ‘creatures’ which could not be other than as they were created …. I had created you and thus you were ‘works’, coming forth from My hand …. But I wanted to have something beside Me which had shaped itself in free will in such a way that it was supremely perfect …. I wanted to have beings next to Me which I could call ‘children’, which therefore were not so formed as a result of My will but whose own free will had striven for and attained perfection …. and who then were also in truth My ‘children’ …. But this decision had to be made by them themselves, they had to have taken the path of development of their own accord, and therefore it was left up to the created beings to remain in their state of perfection given to them by Me or to strive away from Me …. and the latter meant that they surrendered the light and freedom they possessed …. it meant that they themselves resisted My love which wanted to illuminate them and they became imperfect because they separated from Me of their own will. And I allowed this to happen for the sake of the lofty aim that they returned to Me again as ‘children’, although they would never have had to do without My illumination of love if this had been their free will …. For My angelic spirit, which was the first to emerge, was also the first to detach itself from Me, and since it was visible to the beings in radiant abundance of light, countless beings followed it …. Thus they likewise separated from Me of their own free will, they relinquished their perfection in order to regain it again by an infinitely long path …. in order to go through the process of attaining childship to God and to approach supreme bliss …. Since this was and is the final aim of My act of creation, everything that once fell away from Me also returns to Me again. But the process of development can take eternities, depending on the spirit being’s will, if it walks across earth as a human being and is to prove its now free will …. And whether it fails and fails again and again …. one day it will return to Me, and then its bliss will find no end …. for then I will have achieved what I wanted but could not create for Myself: supremely perfect children who do not have to work according to My will but create and work in free will, as it is also My will, and therefore they are immeasurably blissfully happy …._>Amen
