Requested clarification regarding food ….
B.D. 8041 from November 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I want to enlighten your spirit if you ask Me for it: The soul’s actual task during its life on earth is to attain full maturity, for at the beginning of its earthly existence its substances are still more or less immature. It still has to tackle many instincts which it brought along from its previous embodiments and will always have the opportunity during its earthly life to master them, providing its will is good and directed towards Me. Nevertheless, it is passing through the satanic realm, which means that it has to wage a constant battle which lasts as long as it lives on earth. Time and again it will come into contact with spiritually immature substances, which it also consumes in the form of food in order to keep the body fit, and these substances must be spiritualised by the soul too, that is, it has to try to bring everything into the right order. Hence these spiritual substances will join the body; they serve the growth and preservation of that which was given to the soul as an external cover, in which the soul itself should attain full maturity. The spirits, the substances contained in food, are therefore of service and thereby slowly ascend as well …. irrespective of whether they come from the plant or animal kingdom …. The nourishment needed by the body as sustenance is spiritual substance in the process of maturity too, which has achieved various degrees of development …. The body can also consume something unhealthy, that is, nourishment which still contains too many immature spiritual substances …. which then might not only bother the body but also the soul …. and manifest itself in the form of diseases …. However, a strong soul is able to put these immature substances in order but it must already have achieved a high degree of spiritual maturity to be able to exert a redeeming influence on the still immature spiritual substance. The correct preparation of food can therefore promote faster maturing by eliminating virulent spiritual substances before it comes into contact with the human body. For all spiritual substances still constrained in creation have a low degree of maturity but they can be redeemed faster if they willingly serve the human being. Then their path can be shortened, which is the case when the body submits to the soul’s will, when the body does not prevent a soul’s conscious striving towards attaining perfection and when these spiritual substances also support the soul by subordinating themselves to the body and thus let themselves become spiritualised too …. But this only happens if the food the body consumes is pure, healthy and beneficial for the body’s continuation. For once the soul succeeds in making the body compliant by submitting itself to the soul’s will, the body’s spiritualisation will soon take place, providing the soul has united itself with the spirit within itself …. thus consciously strives towards spiritual perfection ….
If, however, the soul has no bond at all with its spirit then it will allow itself to be determined by its body …. i.e., all unspiritual substances of its external cover will strongly predominate and control the soul; in that case its thoughts and intentions will only aim to increase its physical well-being and then a high intake of food and drink will also prevent its spiritual development …. The body will consume an excess of unspiritual substances which pull body and soul down, for then everything of a satanic nature will push itself into the forefront and find no resistance …. thus endangering higher development if not preventing it altogether. And once again it follows that the prayer for blessing of all nourishment is the best means to avoid this danger …. I can and will transform everything that is detrimental for your soul if only you always think of Me before you eat your food, which will always contain more or less immature spiritual substances, because everything passing through the works of creation is still earth-bound whatever degree of development it may have achieved. Your will to attain perfection on earth is valued by Me, and a prayer for blessing everything you consume always proves your will to Me and I shall always comply with it. However, that which serves the maintenance and growth of the body fulfils its actual task …. it is of service …. And in this way you must always look at the consumption of food …. The fact that a certain moderation has to be observed, that you must not merely satisfy your physical cravings, speaks for itself, for then you will avoid the danger of your body being harassed by harmful spiritual substances …. You don’t need any special clarification as to which foods are useful and which are detrimental to you, for your will to live in My eternal order will also give you the right feeling in the choice of your meals …. and each one can be of use to you, just as each one can harm you if you don’t keep to the right amount or if base cravings incite you into satisfying them …. For you must know that only your free will determines to what extent you resist the temptations of the adversary, of your soul’s enemy. And he will always make use of everything that can become a danger to you. He will arouse cravings in you, he will use the body to influence your soul and put it under pressure wherever it is possible for him.
He himself is incapable of forcing you, just as he has no direct influence on the spiritual substance which is still bound in matter; but he can incline your will towards him if you accept the thoughts he transmits to you through cravings and you comply with them yourselves …. by either satisfying these craving or by being careless in the choice as well as the amount of your food or even consciously sin against My order which you, however, know full well and can also observe with good will. Hence in a sense you contribute towards the redemption of immature substances within matter by consuming the right amount of food and drink, because the maturing process of these small spiritual particles involves their being of service, and as soon as you enable them to ‘serve‘ you are helping them to mature. I Myself assigned this serving function or duty of service to every work of creation, and if the human being himself lives within divine order he will never prevent the spirits’ higher development, in whatever form they are still bound …. For I also created the human being with all his needs, and it is up to him to always observe moderation and to make use of that which I assigned to him in love and wisdom. And anyone who does not consciously want to sin will also make use of all creations I designated for him, on whatever spiritual level they may be, according to My intended order …. And in unity with Me he will always appeal for My blessing and then also contribute towards the fact that his body’s still immature spiritual substances as well as those the body consumes for its upkeep will be guided into the right order …. that they will mature during earthly life according to My will ….
Amen

God's great love ….
B.D. 8042 from November 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
Let yourselves be bestowed by Me, for My love for you is exceedingly great and only ever wants to give and make you happy. And I require nothing more from you than an open heart, that is, your will to accept gifts of love from Me. But then you will be abundantly provided for, I will provide for you spiritually and earthly …. everything you need for body and soul will be sent to you so that you can cover your earthly path with the success of being spiritually matured and having found unity with Me …. which is the purpose and aim of your existence on earth. Let yourselves be blessed by Me …. I want to pour out My blessings on you in abundance because you are weak and in need of help and because you would not be able to ascend without My help. But I want you to reach the height, I want you to become again what you were in the beginning: perfect beings who are unspeakably happy …. You are My share and therefore you shall also be united with Me. But you still keep yourselves distant from Me unless you voluntarily open your heart to Me and desire that I Myself take possession of you …. This will, this desire, must become active in you, and for this you need strength and grace, for you are still weak beings and you are still under My adversary’s control as long as you have not yet consciously joined Me through your will …. And therefore My love constantly endeavours to approach you such that you let yourselves be touched by it …. or also, I constantly bestow gifts of love upon you so that you should turn towards the giver, for only then will these gifts of love be of value to you. I love you and only want you to feel My love, but this requires an opening of your heart, an inner willingness to receive My radiation of love. And you prove this to Me when you think of Me when you think of a God and creator from Whom you yourselves originated. Then your will is already directed towards Me and I use every such opportunity to convey gifts of love to you in whatever form this may take …. I bring My word close to you, I stir up the desire in you for the bond with the one Whom you acknowledge as your creator, and I mentally enlighten you or forward scriptures to you which correspond to the truth, or I bring you together with people with whom you can have spiritual conversations …. I take care of every individual and want to radiate love into his heart so that this love will be reciprocated and you will consciously strive for unity with Me, Who is eternal love. For I constantly want to give Myself away, I constantly want to make you, My living creations, happy, because I also constantly want to win your love in return, which again establishes the original relationship which signifies eternal bliss. And you can be certain that My love will never give up on you, that it will pursue you even if you still keep away from Me …. I will not rest until I have also won your love, for only reciprocated love makes you happy …. My love for you, however, never ceases because you came forth from My love …. And therefore I will never stop giving Myself to you …. I will never stop encouraging your return to Me …. I will constantly touch your hearts, and even if you close yourselves off …. once My strength of love will break through, you will voluntarily surrender to it, you will push towards Me in love, and the bliss of receiving and giving will have no end …. For My fundamental substance is love, and you, too, will return to your original state again, because I will not give you up, because I constantly pursue you with My love until you have become and remain Mine forever ….
Amen

God seeks to inspire reciprocal love ….
B.D. 8043 from November 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
The darkness spread across earth is truly great and therefore people’s sinfulness also increases the closer the end is …. And again and again My love seeks to bring light to people, for no matter how low they have sunk, no matter how far they are from Me …. My merciful love knows about the dreadful fate that is destined for all of them who do not find their way back to Me before the end, who have not taken the path of return before the end comes. I know about the power of the adversary to whom people succumb, I know about their weaknesses and lack of will, I have to allow their will freedom, and I see how they constantly head towards the abyss …. that they will be banished again for an infinitely long time in creation …. And I take pity on their fate so that My love follows every single soul until the end and still tries to win it …. But I also know that every soul will one day come to the light, even if eternities pass by …. My love for My living creations is overwhelming and therefore leaves no stone unturned in order to shorten their wretched state, in order to snatch them from My adversary’s hands, because I fear for My children like a father and want to spare them all suffering …. because I want to provide them with abundant bliss. Yet My supremely perfect being will always work in lawful order, and thus a being can never enjoy beatitude which consciously opposes Me, which does not approach Me voluntarily but persists in its resistance, which once caused its darkness and meant great distance from Me …. I cannot make such a being happy but nevertheless I do not withdraw My love from it …. on the contrary, I pursue it with My love …. I try to make Myself known to it as a God of love so that it will be easy for it to return My love and then all danger of being lost will be averted …. Love awakens love in return …. If I now expect or hope for love from My living creations which live on earth as human beings, then I must first prove Myself to them as a God of love, to Whom they will then trust and offer Him love in return …. If I want to experience love from My living creations, they must also know about My love for them …. even though it is often difficult to convince people of the love of their God and creator, Who wants to be their father for all eternity …. Yet I want to win the hearts of My children, and this presupposes …. (20.11.1961) that they learn to recognize Me, it requires that I help them when they are in need and turn to Me for My support …. People must feel love from My side which then awakens counter-love …. Yet very often they are unable to recognize My love because their spiritual state is still very dark as a result of their own lack of love, and then they have to be enlightened in all truth, but always in such a way that My love is emphasized but not My judicial power. Threats of punishment will not lead them onto the path of love but they will only fear Me if they believe in a God at all Who has all power over heaven and earth. However, if it is possible to make them understand a loving God through the supply of truth, Whose means are only ever understood if the correlations are truthfully explained to them, if My love for all people is repeatedly emphasized, then it is also possible that their hearts will turn to Me in love, and then they will voluntarily do what is My will, and then I will already have won their love and their return to Me is assured. And therefore I will never stop wooing My living creations’ love, for it cannot be gained by force, and thus My words must also be addressed to you humans with all love if I want you to listen to Me and consider all My words with all seriousness …. For what is offered in love will also be more likely to be heeded; harsh, angry words, on the other hand, even if they were justified, will not awaken love but result in renewed resistance, and then I will have gained nothing. My gospel of love shall be spread throughout the world and where this happens with unselfish love it will truly not be without success. But if only fear of punishment is awakened in people, the change to love will remain undecided ….. Then a person can certainly make an effort to act correctly but his way of life is not yet an activity of love of his own free will, which alone, however, will bring the creations back to Me as My children who once left Me voluntarily …. I woo the love of these My living creations and only ever seek to reveal Myself to them as God of love, as ‘father’ …. And therefore I draw their attention to the effect of an unloving way of life, that they should think about it and give account to themselves as to how far they fulfil My commandments of love. For they must possess the knowledge of My commandments of love, it must be imparted to them, but fulfilment cannot be achieved through compulsion …. My love will eternally belong to you, My living creations, and it will not rest until you have returned to Me again …. until you, too, will return My love and the union with Me, which belongs to eternal bliss, is now also restored ….
Amen

Strengthened action of the opponent ….
B.D. 8044 from November 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 85
A great task has been assigned to you and you should not let yourselves be shaken by anything and unwaveringly carry out the work for Me and My kingdom. The fact that My adversary tries to prevent you from doing so with all his might is due to the end time, for he knows that he does not have much time left. And therefore he tries everything to withhold the pure truth from people; he will do everything to prevent you, My bearers of light, from being of service to Me ….. But he will not succeed, for I know whom I could choose for this mission …. I know that your will is Mine and will not be changed so easily …. great actions are planned on the part of My adversary and he will shake the walls of faith …. and the people who do not stand firm in faith will waver …. But I will enlighten the spirit of those who fully surrender to Me and they will see through My adversary’s machinations and resist him …. I Myself will fight with them against the one who wants to overrule Me …. Nevertheless, you humans must be very careful, for he disguises himself well and seeks to exert his influence as one of you …. Yet My working will also be obvious, you will also be able to recognize Me Myself and therefore also remain faithful to Me, Who truly can also be recognized in My word …. And My word will give you the strength to resist it, you will feel My language beneficently and will not be able to withdraw from its effect of strength …. And I have foretold you that My adversary’s interventions will become increasingly stronger, that he will use the most shameful means and that you humans will be in danger if you don’t turn to Me sincerely and appeal to Me for protection and for an enlightened spirit which is also able to see through his tricks …. do not waver in your faith in Me, Who Myself descend to you in the word …. You can recognize My language as the voice of your father as soon as you belong to My own, but then you will also hear what the father says to you, and you will also recognize My adversary, even though he speaks to you under a mask …. But it is not My word, and therefore you, who are Mine, will reject it and not follow the one who tries to seduce you. And yet, I must leave the decision to you Myself, because I don’t want to force you either, because I don’t want to make you unfree in your will, thinking and acting …. yet he cannot force you either, and therefore …. if you are undecided …. turn to Me and ask for My help, and truly, I will hear you and give you brightness of spirit so that you will be protected from the fall, so that you will not fall prey to him who wants to plunge you into ruin …. who wants to extinguish the light which shines from Me and which spreads its glow far and wide …. Only ever let the light shine, radiate it by taking care of the spreading of My word, only ever adhere to Me, remain intimately united with Me and keep everything unspiritual at bay through your will to remain in the light and in the truth …. and he will achieve nothing …. he will storm in vain against the walls of faith which surround My own …. he will have to desist from you but win over the weak whose contact with Me is not yet intimate enough to prevent his influence. Again and again he will try to extinguish the light from above, again and again he will harass My bearers of light but again and again he will also meet with resistance because he will be recognized, even if he appears under the mask of an angel of light. For I want to open your eyes to Me, you who serve Me, so that you know who is approaching you and can meet him by holding out the light to him, which he flees because he recognizes its exit …. Where I am, he cannot be, and therefore only ever hold on to Me and call upon Me …. And he will desist from you because My presence is unbearable to him …. Be mindful and remain in prayer, and truly, he will not be successful, and the light of truth will break through and illuminate his shameful activity ever more brightly ….
Amen

Striving for living faith ….
B.D. 8045 from November 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 85
Every person should strive to gain a living faith, for then he will never be without strength, he will always take refuge in Me, in Whom he has a living faith, and constantly be able to receive strength from Me, for this flows to every person who unites with Me in prayer or heartfelt thoughts of Me …. But a living faith requires a life of love …. because anyone who lives in love draws Me to himself, Who is love. And anyone who can be present to Me will no longer doubt Me, he will have gained a living faith and will no longer sever his bond with Me, he will never be without strength and thus need not fear anything he encounters. Living faith is to be highly valued, for the human being no longer walks his path alone but in constant company, because I will no longer leave him, for he allows My presence in him through love. Faith in Me is also the passed test of will, the human being has taken the path back to Me, for he acknowledges Me, otherwise he would not be able to believe or his faith would only be dead. But if his faith has come alive through love a change of nature has already taken place in him, love has kindled a light in him in which he now also recognizes Me Myself and cannot help but consciously strive towards Me and seek the union with Me which he once gave up. Love and faith cannot be thought of without each other …. for living faith emerges from love …. spiritual knowledge becomes conviction, as it were, which cannot be proven because love gives bright light …. And only convinced faith provides the human being with strength which I Myself can now give to him because I am present to him through love …. How calmly a person walks his earthly path who has a convinced faith …. he never feels abandoned or weak, he knows that I am close to him, he comes to Me with every request and knows that I will grant him every request he makes to Me in earthly or spiritual adversity …. A living faith is truly strength-giving; and therefore you should all strive to gain such faith. Then it will prove your approach to Me, your will to be united with Me, you will acknowledge Me and thus pass the test of will for the purpose of which you stay on earth …. And then I will also be able to give you life, as I have promised, “he who believes in Me shall not die eternally ….” You are therefore still doomed to death as long as you are unable to believe in Me Myself, Who redeemed the world from sin and death in the man Jesus …. For as long as you still don’t recognize Me in Jesus, and as long as you are still under the spell of sin, as long as your spirit is still darkened, and this always means that you refuse to acknowledge Me as you once did. And you should try to free yourselves from this dark spiritual state, you should change your nature into love again, and then you will also be able to believe in Me as your God and creator, as your father of eternity …. You will soon try to establish the bond and it will become a firm conviction in you, because love will shine in you …. if you let it shine in …. gives you bright enlightenment. And you will truly awaken from death to life, you will believe in My presence alive, and then I will also reveal Myself to you, I will prove Myself to you …. because you believe ….
Amen

Blessing of sufferings and hardships for the people ….
B.D. 8046 from November 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 85
He who created you also knows about all your weaknesses and needs, spiritual and physical …. and He will also be able to remedy them at any time …. But do you know what serves you for your perfection? Nothing is futile that I allow, and it only ever requires your right attitude towards Me, and your soul will benefit from everything that happens, from every physical and spiritual weakness, for it will then always turn to Me and entrust itself to Me …. and it then establishes a bond with Me which enables Me to turn strength to it again …. And as soon as the purpose is achieved that you have entered into the close bond with Me I can also remedy your hardship and suffering, and I will also do so in order to prove to you the love of your God and creator Who wants to be your father and also be recognized by you as ‘father’. And therefore trustingly hand yourselves over to Me and believe that I will turn everything into the best for you, even if you are sometimes unable to comprehend My working. The time you humans have left until the end is getting shorter and shorter …. Everyone has to reckon with being suddenly called away, and then he will thank Me that I gave him the opportunity beforehand where he could still perfect himself, where his soul could purify itself and he already acquired a degree of light on earth. For no one knows when his hour has come …. But there is not much time left for any of you humans, for the end is near. But I know every person’s will and his degree of maturity, and whatever I can still do Myself to increase the latter I will truly not refrain from doing. And if it means suffering and hardship for you I will only try to strengthen your bond with Me, and truly, everything will serve you for the best. But I will also help you earthly, I will strengthen your body and keep it fit as long as you want to serve Me, just as I will always support you with My love and grace, whatever may come. You should only trust Me and come to Me with all your needs, because only the bond with Me is your salvation, because this bond with Me signifies the passed test of will for the purpose of which you live on earth. People, however, would think little of Me if their earthly life were always calm and peaceful; their thoughts would only ever be worldly and turned towards pleasure …. But they shall find their way to Me, and therefore I have to bring Myself to their remembrance again and again, namely through suffering and hardship of all kinds which make them remember Him Who is powerful and rules heaven and earth …. Only then will they seek the bond with Me, and only then will they fulfil their purpose of earthly life …. But again and again I tell you that you can also ask Me to turn away what distresses you …. For I want to reveal Myself to you in My love and power …. I want you to recognize a God Who acts towards you as a father, Who also wants to prove His love to you so that you will also show love to Him. And the more trustingly you come to Me the sooner I will hear your prayer, for I will not let a true faith go to waste ….
Amen

Domination of the opponent at the end ….
B.D. 8047 from November 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I will not be able to reap a great harvest at the end of days, for My adversary’s activity is very successful because the spiritual substance embodied in the human being during the last days remained in opposition to Me for a very long time and only reluctantly entered into its last embodiment as a human being. Yet its time was fixed, and it is not impossible for this spiritual substance to release itself from My adversary’s control, because My measure of grace is inexhaustible, which I pour out in order to still help all spiritual substances to emerge from the darkness into the light ….. Free will must indeed be left to him, and this is often subject to the adversary’s influence, even though the human being could also direct it correctly. And thus many more people will belong to My adversary in the end, they will be submissive to his will, they will do what he demands because he tempts them with earthly goods and thus earthly matter will be aspired to and people will completely place themselves under his control. His harvest will be great but he will not be able to enjoy it because I will wrest the spiritual from him again and once more banish it into solid matter …. thus deprive him of all power over this spiritual substance and only weaken him by binding his followers again into the creations of the new earth. And there will only be a few who completely surrender to Me, whom I have won for eternity and whom I will therefore also rapture to the new earth, where a new redemption period has to begin again with people who are Mine and thus live a paradisiacal life in constant bond with Me and the spiritual substance full of light …. For the spiritual maturity of those who will animate the new earth as the stock of the new human race allows for such a heartfelt bond with the spiritual world, and I Myself will be able to dwell amongst My own because they are united with Me in love, because they have passed their test of earthly life and therefore may also live a blissful life in the paradise of the new earth. I will truly still try to increase their number, I will not refrain from anything that could bring another soul back to Me, I will fight until the last day for every soul where I still see a possibility of salvation …. but I will not be able to achieve much more success. Everything satanic will push itself forward and also try to seduce My own who, however, enjoy My protection and need not fear these evil spirits. Yet the separation of spirits will be quite evident, open enmity will prevail between those who belong to My adversary and the believers …. They will do everything to make life unbearable for My own; every thought of theirs is satanic, for they are constantly under the influence of the one who seeks to dethrone Me and wages a very open battle against Me Myself …. who is so clearly recognizable as the antichrist, and now it is also recognizable in which time you humans live, which hour the world clock has struck …. For as soon as My adversary takes action against Me Myself he exceeds his authority and will be bound for a long time. For people shall always be free to decide whether and what they believe …. I do not tolerate coercion because the human being can only perfect himself in free will …. But if they are forced to deny Me then My adversary will carry out the most shameful work on this earth which will cause Me Myself to bind him, to put a stop to his activity and to restore order on earth which alone guarantees an ascent development according to the plan of eternity …. And you will be able to observe for yourselves how people increasingly surrender to My adversary …. you will see how disenchanted humanity is with its way of life, how it increasingly falls away from the faith, how the thoughts and aspirations of fellow human beings are directed and what hardship befalls the believers who remain faithful to Me or even want to fight for My teaching …. They will be hostile and will be increasingly distressed …. but I take care of all those who are of good will …. I call them off so that they do not run the risk of becoming a victim of My adversary …. or I endow them with unusual strength to withstand all hostility …. and I will save them when the hardship seems to become unbearable …. then I Myself will come in the clouds and take them away to their new home where they will live in peace and bliss ….
Amen

Grace of God‘s address ….
B.D. 8048 from November 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I can certainly convey My word to you humans but I cannot force you to accept it, for your will is free …. But always bear in mind that even My adversary cannot force you to oppose Me and My word …. Hence you yourselves decide, and therefore you will also have to answer for it one day if you ignore My gifts of grace, if you pass them by unimpressed and thus your earthly life is an idle activity which has not brought your soul the slightest success. It is the great grace which is still given to you in the last days that you can hear Me Myself, that you can receive strength directly from Me which comes to you in the form of My word …. And you should make use of this grace, you should listen to Me and then let your heart speak, and you will truly also become aware of the strength which flows to you from My love. Especially you humans who are not yet in contact with Me should not close yourselves off to My word, you should unprejudicedly move My word within yourselves and you will feel addressed as if by a good friend, you will be beneficially touched as long as you don’t openly resist My word. And I also want to speak to you like a good friend, like a father Who only ever wants the best and wants to make His children happy …. I only want you to give up your inner resistance against Me, then every word of Mine will touch you like a loving address which will move you in your heart and which you cannot oppose …. Just listen to Me willingly and truly, you will not regret it, for My word conveys strength and light to you, and your soul will feel at ease when it is supplied with strength and light …. Therefore, again and again I will try to make My word accessible to you humans, because only My word is still able to change you if you have not yet taken the path to Me …. My word can be the good Shepherd’s call to you, Who follows His sheep who have lost their way and are going astray …. My call can still reach them, even if they have strayed far from their Shepherd …. And they can follow Him and return in free will. For I must respect your free will and may not compulsorily influence you. But I can address you at any time, for you always determine yourselves whether My address reaches your heart …. You always determine yourselves whether you hear your father’s call in it and turn to Him, because you feel His love in every word which touches you. And when you are struck by My ray of love, then don’t close your hearts …. open them and let the light shine into you, and truly, you will thank Me eternally that My love followed you even when you still turned away from Me …. For you will now come to life, My strength of love will awaken you from death to life, and you will now no longer lose this life, for My word will now sound to you forever and ever, and forever and ever you will desire to be addressed by Me, and forever and ever I will fulfil your desire ….
Amen

Sparks of love in man …. Awakening the spirit ….
B.D. 8049 from November 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
Each one of you humans certainly harbours the divine spark of love in his heart, which is part of Me Myself and which characterizes you as divine living creations which can be in constant contact with Me as the eternal father-spirit …. Yet as long as the human being himself does not establish this bond with Me this spiritual spark slumbers within you, it cannot express itself to you, for you yourselves first have to awaken it to life, and this therefore includes the bond with Me which you establish through loving activity …. Hence you have to ignite the divine spark within yourselves, you have to give life to the spirit, and then you will also become aware of the strength which flows through you as an expression of Myself. You are Mine and will remain so forever, yet you must want to belong to Me yourselves, only then will you establish the bond with Me …. you consciously join Me …. you allow Me Myself to work in you, which you previously prevented through your resistance, through your rejection of My strength of love …. So there is a spark of this divine power of love in you, and this spark remains eternally connected with Me …. If you yourselves let this spark in you become a bright flame, then it can now only strike towards Me, the sea of fire of eternal love …. And the union of your soul with Me must also irrefutably take place one day, which then will never be revoked again …. But whoever does not awaken My spiritual spark to life remains dead …. he cannot come to life because he is devoid of all love …. Once the original spirit of all love had given up, it repelled every influx of love power, it closed itself to every illumination of love and fell into the abyss completely devoid of all love …. Although My infinite love slowly helped this fallen being to ascend again, to the degree of maturity which now allows an embodiment as a human being again, there is nevertheless no love in him at all, because only free will has to open itself to a renewed illumination of love, but this was taken away from the being until the stage as a human being …. And a completely loveless being is also completely without strength and could never cover the path to the final height …. It would always and forever remain on the same level, and its being human would be completely pointless. For this reason I place a divine spark of love into the human being’s heart which only needs to be ignited by the human being himself in order to be able to radiate strength again, so that it is now possible for the human being to complete his ascent development …. because I constantly pull him, because the spiritual spark in him constantly pushes towards the father-spirit and does not rest until it has reached its aim. And therefore the awakening of the spiritual spark to life is the most significant task which determines your beatitude in the spiritual kingdom …. And since the spirit in you can only be awakened through loving activity, you now also recognize the importance of a life of love, of fulfilling the divine commandments of love …. The spirit within you will constantly urge you to be active in love. If you comply with this urge, then it will also express itself to you, for now you allow this its working in you …. The spiritual spark in you is love …. Thus you possess the ability to love again as a human being, yet you have to muster the willingness to love yourselves …. The spirit within you can only impel you, push you from within, but it will not force you, because this alone must be accomplished by your free will. But you are now no longer incapable, which, however, you would be if I had not added this little spark of love to you …. But you can now also see from this what a great sin it is to reject My illumination of love again if you make no effort whatsoever to give life to the spirit within you …. For it is the greatest gift of My love to lower a ray of love in you again, you who have apostatised from Me of your own free will, which enables you as a human being to form the bond with Me again which you once severed yourselves. For without this divine spark within you you would never ever be able to reach the aim of returning to your father’s house again. For you now have the opportunity to take the path to Me and indissolubly restore the bond with Me, whereas otherwise you would not be able to detach yourselves from My adversary and could not oppose him with the strength of love against which he is powerless. You can defeat him with Me Myself, for the spirit within you is My illumination of love which will certainly dispel him as soon as you strive towards Me, as soon as your spiritual spark establishes the bond with Me through loving activity. For since I Myself am love, the spiritual spark in you also urges you to constantly work with love, and where love is My adversary can no longer be …. There I Myself have been victorious and achieved the aim: I have regained the soul and will now also never lose it again …. for love indissolubly binds it together with Me for all eternity ….
Amen

Doubting the transfer of pure truth ….
B.D. 8050 from November 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
Anyone who wants to fulfil My will, will also only ever work according to My will. Nevertheless, it is a matter of sincere resolve, for I Am not satisfied with words which do not arise from the heart, which are only voiced by the mouth or which flow forth from the intellect …. For the will must utterly belong to Me, then the human being will have completely submitted himself to My will and will no longer be able to think and want anything other than that which corresponds to My will. However, the adversary will always attempt to gain this will of yours for himself, he will constantly try to tempt you anew by means of the world, he will try to loosen your bond with Me, in which case there is a risk that he will intervene in your thoughts …. which, however, will impel Me to send My angels so that they will build a wall around you, so that they will mentally influence you and assuredly push him aside because your innermost intention applies to Me. I Am aware of every human being’s attitude and therefore also know who so totally hands himself over to Me so that I can trust him with an extraordinarily important task in the end time: to accept the truth from Me and to spread it …. Truth can only come forth from Me, and it can only be conveyed into pure vessels, because everything of an impure nature would prevent the working of My spirit in the person and because the truth from Me can only be conveyed through My spirit to earth. Therefore, understand that the receiving vessel must be clean and that the human being must voluntarily be willing to be of service to Me …. Don’t you believe that it is possible for Me to recognise a person’s state of soul and to know who is capable of such a task? Do you think I would arbitrarily work in a person who cannot show the preconditions which make the transfer of the pure truth from above possible? If it is My will to bring the truth to you humans because you urgently require it, should it not be possible for Me to choose an appropriate tool which serves Me according to My will? Why do you deny Me the power to protect this tool from error? A tool to which I assign the task to receive the pure truth from Me and to spread it? …. Do you think I would keep urgently calling for the spreading of that which is conveyed from above to earth were it not the guaranteed pure truth which My last disciples shall carry into the world? The fact that people I have not chosen also appoint themselves makes your objections understandable; nevertheless, you should make clear whom you accept as true ‘Word recipients’ …. Indeed, you are entitled to conduct this examination if you carry it out with My support solely with the intention of serving the pure truth …. In that case, however, you will also recognise the true tools I have chosen for Myself, for anyone who desires the truth may receive it, he will identify where the truth is which originates from Me. Yet don’t believe that you can accuse every tool of ‘influx of error’, for every such suspicion merely proves to Me that you doubt My love, wisdom or power …. Have I Myself not given you the promise to ‘guide you into truth ….’ And should that not be possible for Me in your opinion?! When I recognise the necessity to convey the pure truth to humanity, then I also truly know the right ways and means, and I know the right hearts which completely hand themselves over to Me and My will, which I can choose for this task of being mediators between Me and people …. so that those who desire light shall become enlightened. Believe that everything is possible for Me …. Believe that Love wants to help you come out of darkness into light, and believe that I know how this can happen …. and accept with complete faith what you are offered by My love, wisdom and power ….
Amen

No mechanical reception …. understanding this ….
B.D. 8051 from November 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
You may gain insight into the deepest depths of divine wisdom when your love has reached the degree which unites you again with Me, your God and father, Whose nature is supremely perfect and Who then lets you participate in everything that could make you happy …. And you will be unspeakably happy when all knowledge is made accessible to you, when you are also allowed to gain insight into My reign and activity, when you realize how infinite My love is and My might …. and when you are allowed to behold all the glories your father has in store for you when you have found union with Him. Yet a person rarely reaches this degree of maturity on earth, and therefore the final knowledge cannot be made accessible to him, but this does not mean that he will not receive the pure truth from Me if I instruct him Myself. Yet he would not be receptive to the deepest wisdom from Me. And this is also not necessary for his earthly life, nor would he be able to bear the immense happiness such profound knowledge would give him. Yet the ever-expanding knowledge also belongs to the bliss which never comes to an end, which always increases …. for deepened knowledge also signifies increased radiance of light …. Radiation of My love which makes the being unspeakably happy. Nevertheless, you humans can believe that I always convey pure truth to you if you allow My spirit to work in you …. even if it is not yet granted to you that the brightest light shines for you, that everything can be made understandable to you …. For I Myself will never withhold the truth from you if you seriously desire it. A person’s degree of love is decisive as to how far he is in realization and how far this realization makes him happy. Yet no human being will ever be able to accept extensive, truthful knowledge from Me if he cannot demonstrate a degree of maturity of his soul which also provides him with the understanding for it, for that person will not accept dead knowledge from Me as soon as I Myself can speak to him …. because the prerequisite for the working of My spirit in the human being is a life of love, a degree of maturity which also provides him with the right understanding for what he receives …. It is not a mechanical transmission of truth from Me into a person but the transmission of My word presupposes a degree of maturity which therefore also guarantees fullest understanding at the same time, which now also enables him to instruct his fellow human being in truth and in accordance with the knowledge he has gained himself through the introduction into truth …. Thus no still immature person will be destined for a teaching task …. and no immature person will be able to receive My word from Me either …. but the recipient of My word will be permeated and illuminated by the light of love himself, and this also signifies fullest understanding and the guarantee to be a good teacher to his fellow human beings, for My word is life and must irrevocably also give life to a person who voluntarily accepts it from Me. My word is the emanation of light of love and must also have luminosity …. And the transmission of My word is connected with a task: to pass it on, to carry the light into the darkness …. And therefore the light bearer himself must be of bright spirit …. I only make this understandable to you because you humans often doubt the calling of the one who is My instrument and serves Me by receiving My word …. The acceptance is also linked to a task, and this, in turn, can only be fulfilled by a spiritually awakened person …. Thus complete understanding can also be assumed for the wisdom conveyed to him by Me, he can be acknowledged as a legitimate teacher, and his explanations can be unhesitatingly accepted as corresponding to truth, for he is willing to serve Me, and then he will also always be taught by My spirit as soon as he seeks to fulfil his spiritual mission …. I Myself train My disciples, I Myself choose the right representatives for Myself who shall proclaim the gospel on earth in My stead …. I prepare them for Myself and also give them the strength to work for Me and in My name …. And therefore My spirit must be able to work, which also requires a certain degree of maturity of its soul …. And you can then be certain that you will only be instructed in the pure truth, for I Myself speak through those who bring you My word, through whom I Myself speak to you if you are willing to listen to Me ….
Amen

Free will is decisive ….
B.D. 8052 from December 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 85
The human being must be able to decide in all freedom of will …. The fact that he cannot always carry out his will should not lead to the assumption that he has no free will, for his innermost thoughts and will are decisive for the direction of his will. But in most cases he will not be hindered by Me in the execution of his will. For I want him to experience the effect of his will himself in order to recognize whether he was right or wrongly directed. And with merciful foresight I also know how to direct the effect such that it will bring salvation to the affected person’s soul again, yet this does not change the fact that the human being has to answer for the direction of his will as soon as he has caused harm as a result, always on condition that he recognizes in himself the adverse divine aspect, that he is therefore not in union with Me but still exposed to the adversary’s influence …. which he himself certainly recognizes insofar as he does not consciously unite with Me. A person who seeks My presence is also inwardly driven to think and want correctly …. A person who lives without any faith whatsoever is influenced by My adversary …. he is in bondage to him and will rarely do and think as it is My will …. Thus his will will also be wrongly directed and he will have to answer for it …. And yet, it is possible that people believe to be of service to Me and yet their will is wrongly directed. In that case, however, the bond of the heart has not yet been established, a foreign relationship still exists internally, the human being outwardly fulfils forms which are intended to feign a close bond …. Thus he regards himself as a vineyard labourer and yet he is not yet accepted by Me as a servant …. as long as the heart bond is missing. Then, therefore, it can only be spoken of as a ‘worldly occupation’, although it concerns ecclesiastical organisations, and then the degree of love will be decisive for his will and his thinking …. And even then the adversary can still have supremacy, he can influence the intellect and it can then be active in a damaging way: that he mixes spiritual knowledge, which corresponds to truth, with his own intellectual thinking and thereby thus contaminates the originally pure truth, that he changes it because the adversary has an influence on him …. because his bond with Me is not yet intimate enough to protect him from wrong thinking …. It is always the human being’s free will which is not curtailed by Me, and therefore it is also possible that pure truth …. emanating from Me …. and that it is always the human being himself who determines whether and to what extent he stands in the truth …. But for a distortion to be prevented by Me would be a disregard of free will …. Moreover, every person is able to direct his thinking correctly himself, because he only needs to turn to Me, as truth itself, because he only needs to seriously desire it in order to then also receive it guaranteed …. Again, this is your free will, which is also certainly inherent in a person who seriously seeks the bond with Me, who has the right relationship as a child with Me and who therefore will also always direct his will as it is right before Me. And therefore no person can shift the responsibility away from himself who believes to have been wrongly instructed …. for it is up to him whether he is satisfied with such instructions or whether the desire for truth prevails in him, which will certainly also earn him such …. The human being’s will is free …. Neither My adversary will be able to force him, nor will I Myself exert My influence on a person, because the free decision of will in the human being’s earthly life decides his fate in eternity. And this applies in particular to the human being’s spiritual course of development. His earthly destiny is also so controlled that he can also let his right will prevail, even if restrictions are imposed on him in the implementation …. But spiritually he decides his state of maturity himself in free will, and he will always think and want correctly if he strives towards Me, if he establishes an intimate bond with Me and has therefore surrendered to Me, so that I Myself can now guide and lead him and he will also attain perfection ….
Amen

Feeding the truth …. Positive power ….
B.D. 8053 from December 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 85
You will be introduced to knowledge which corresponds to truth …. Again and again I can give you the assurance that you truly live in truth if you make this word conveyed to you from above your own, if you accept it as an instruction which you receive directly from your God and father, because I deem it necessary that you humans experience the truth. When I Myself speak to you then you can receive nothing but pure truth …. And you can feel for yourselves that I speak to you Myself if you listen to or read My word with an open heart …. For then it will give you strength and light. You can notice an unusual effect when knowledge reaches earth without any earthly aids, and you can also deduce the origin from the content of this knowledge …. Love is constantly preached, and this also reveals that the giver Himself is love, that it is a positive strength which expresses itself, which can only ever come to you from above, from the kingdom of light, and thus also proves Myself. It is the last time before the end …. It is urgently necessary that a light is kindled for you so that you know why you live on earth …. And I bring such a light to you Myself by revealing knowledge to you humans which you should accept because it is truth …. For it is still dark in your spirit, for knowledge which does not correspond to truth darkens your spirit, it confuses your thinking and truly brings you no blessing for your soul …. And you humans no longer walk in truth except for a few who receive it from Me themselves …. What is conveyed to you as spiritual knowledge is My adversary’s educated spiritual knowledge which can no longer claim to be pure truth from Me, although I taught it Myself on earth when I walked the earth …. My adversary’s effort is and always has been to invalidate the truth from Me, to enforce it with error and to make it impossible for people to recognize Me Myself in My nature …. And you humans must know that this is his constant activity to keep you humans in the darkness of spirit into which he has plunged you and into which you have voluntarily followed him. But I want to give you brightness of spirit again, and I want to show you the way how you can find your way out of the darkness and reach bright heights again. And therefore I will bring you the truth again and again, and I will make My will known to you …. And as soon as you fulfil this will of Mine you will also become enlightened again and you will be able to recognize Me as your God and creator Who loves you and wants to be your father for time and eternity …. You have to accept the truth otherwise you will continue to walk astray and unsuccessfully travel your earthly path. And you can believe that your God and father Himself will convey the truth to you, that He is omnipotent and thus it is possible for Him to convey the pure truth to earth …. that He is love Itself and will only offer you that which is beneficial for your soul, and that He is unsurpassably wise and therefore will also impart profound wisdom to you and introduce you to His plan of eternity, to His rule and activity …. You need not doubt the truth of the word which you hear through My messengers who serve Me as My instruments …. My great concern for you humans prompts Me to reveal Myself to you because the end is near, because you need the truth so that you change your way of life, so that you detach yourselves from the world and turn to Me …. I cannot force you to change, I can only always point out to you the fate you are facing, and therefore I can only ever present the truth to you …. but you yourselves must accept it and strive to fulfil My will, which is made known to you through the transmission of truth …. Believe that only My love moves Me to speak to you, and believe that it is I Myself Who speaks to you, for I do not want you to perish but to gain eternal life ….
Amen

Is the Bible completed ….
B.D. 8054 from December 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 85
How misguided you are to assume that with the Scriptures, the Book of the Fathers, My Word has come to an end …. that I Myself have set a limit in so far as that I now do not communicate anymore, that I do not speak to people any longer …. Who gives you the authority to make such an assumption? …. Who will deny Me to speak time and again as Father to My children? Who gives you the right to make the assertion that the Bible is sufficient on its own, that you humans need no other Word? ….
Those of you who reject every new revelation are still confined in the darkness of spirit …. And in this darkness you will not understand the Bible either, thus it is still a closed book for you because you do not understand the spiritual meaning of the letters, or you would also find the references concerning My continuous revelations in this book and the working of My spirit would be comprehensible to you …. But as long as your spirit is still unenlightened you cannot grasp the meaning of the Word which I Myself spoke to My disciples while I lived on earth ….You humans would be unfortunate if you had to content yourselves with a book which can no longer be checked by you yourselves for changes in its contents …. if you were not repeatedly offered the pure truth from above as a guiding principle as to whether you yourselves are living in truth ….
Those of you who only accept the Book of the Fathers have not yet penetrated ‘the Word’ yourselves, you have only read it intellectually but not allowed the spirit within you to speak, who instructs you and explains to you the spiritual meaning of the Word ….You adhere to the letter and do not understand its meaning …. And when I Myself want to guide you into truth you deny My activity, and you suspect My servants of associating with My adversary …. you question My will and the power to speak to those who devoutly offer their service to Me and who are thus also able to hear My voice within themselves ….
And you stubbornly hold on to your opinion that My Word is concluded with the Scriptures, which you acknowledge as the only book through which I have revealed Myself ….And that is your loss, because by rejecting My Word from above you prove yourselves to be mere dead Christians, because living Christianity is an ‘activity of love’, and this would result in your spiritual enlightenment and thus also in an understanding for My exceptional help in times of spiritual hardship ….
Then you would also comprehend the Bible words, the promises, which I Myself gave to you and which point out that I will reveal Myself to those who keep My commandments …. So how do you intend to interpret My promises, if you deny every ‘New Revelation’? …. Do you want to call Me a liar when I announce My ‘comforter’ to you who will ‘guide you into every truth ….’ How do you understand these Words which have to come to pass, because every promise I gave to people during My life on earth fulfils itself …. And why do you not want to believe? Because your spirit is arrogant, because you lack inner life, spiritual awakening, and thus you believe that you are able to determine and limit Me and My activity as it suits you …. But you are mistaken, even if you believe that you have acquired knowledge through your studies which entitles you to reject My Word from above ….You are spiritually arrogant and therefore you can never receive a revelation from Me yourselves, because I only bestow My grace to the humble, and you are lacking this humility …. And thus you still walk in darkness, and you will not be able to penetrate it since you avoid the light which could give you insight if you wanted to step into its radiance ….
My love for My living beings will never end, and hence I will never fail to speak to you humans wherever the conditions to do so are met. And My Word will always sound in those who are of good will, to whom the Father can speak like to His children and who have a living faith in Me. And to them I will give evidence of Myself, and My Own will recognise My voice because I can be present with them …. I can reveal Myself to them as I have promised ….
Amen

Testing of the will of the first-created being ….
B.D. 8055 from December 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
A being was once created by Me which has now become My most bitter enemy and adversary …. This being likewise emerged from My love, it was put forth as the first being by Me because I wanted to create a vessel for Myself into which I could let My love flow …. My love was exceedingly great and it wanted to communicate …. and since My will alone was sufficient I created an image for Myself, a being which was exceedingly perfect, which I was able to radiate with My strength of love and which, like Me, was now to create and work for its own happiness …. I wanted to give Myself away, I wanted to find a resonance for My immeasurable abundance of light and strength and thus created a being which could catch this flow of love, a being in which I could recognize Myself, which was My image …. And all My love was directed towards this being. I made it happy and found My own happiness in this happiness …. it stood in the highest abundance of power and strength, it was a reflection of Myself which, being exceedingly perfect, also carried the same will and creative urge within itself and was now incomparably blissful with Me …. And this being was active, its immeasurable strength urged it to create identical beings, its will used the strength flowing to it from Me and again and again gave rise to new beings which, like it, were supremely perfect, for only perfection could emerge from My strength of love, and the first-created being was of the same will as Me, in the same light, and was united with Me in deepest love, so that supreme bliss filled this being and it expressed its bliss again and again by creating beings identical to it …. It was a state which could have lasted forever and yet did not remain so …. For everything created were ‘works’ of My love …. It was perfect because nothing imperfect could come forth from Me …. My love for the first-created being was overpowering and its love also belonged to Me, Whom it certainly recognized but could not behold. I constantly beamed My love at this being but I did not force it to return the love to Me in the same measure, instead, I made the reciprocation of My love freely available to it …. I had created the being with free will because free will inevitably belongs to perfection. My will was indeed apparent to the being at all times, it was, as it were, anchored in My word, through which the creator’s communication with His created being was established …. The ‘word’ was the thought which had become form, which radiated into the being and which the being was also able to reciprocate, so that the most intimate exchange took place between us, which made both the being and Me immeasurably happy …. And thus the being knew about My will and in its love completely entered into My will …. (5.12.1961) And now I wanted to test its love, it was to provide Me with the evidence that its love for Me entered into My will in completely free will, although it could also think and want differently, because as a divine being it was not subject to any coercion, because love was the only thing which could have determined the direction of its will …. My first-created being had created countless beings of the same kind out of its will using My constantly flowing strength of love, and its will was always in unison with Mine because deepest love united it with Me …. And these acts of creation made the being immensely happy …. It constantly received strength of love and constantly used this strength of love in My will …. until I demanded the decision of its will from it in all freedom …. i.e., it became aware that it could also work on its own authority, that it was not hindered in any way because it was not subject to any limitation …. because it was a free being which was only bound to Me through love …. And since the being was able to receive the thoughts flowing to it from Me …. My word …. flowing to it from Me and to take a position on them itself, it was also possible for it to view them negatively …. that is, to oppose them with his free will. And so it also came to terms with the thought that despite its highest abundance of light and strength, despite its highest perfection, it was always only a recipient of strength, but not a source of strength …. To mentally adjust itself to this was My test of will, which the highest spirit of light truly could have passed if its love so filled it that it would have submitted itself to Me as its creator in free will, which, however, would never have been detrimental to its ranking because My love for it was so great that it would never have needed to feel its dependence on Me …. But it would have still increased in its bliss through the passed test of will, in its perfection, which was now no longer just My work but had also been proven by itself as its own will …. But the being failed …. It became My adversary out of the spirit of light Lucifer …. He could not see Me but he saw the army of beings he himself had brought into being, and he was aware of its immense power, and this awareness made him become arrogant …. He exalted himself and rejected any further illumination of love on My part …. This turning away from Me was a process which lasted for eternity and which can only be depicted to you humans, for the spiritual motives cannot be explained to you in a comprehensible way as long as you dwell on earth. I had created an image for Myself which turned itself into the opposite and was also able to do so despite all abundance of light because it was a completely free being which was in no way subject to compulsion or limited in its thinking and willing …. Nevertheless, its fall and also the fall of countless beings into the abyss is the path to the highest perfection …. because it creates the possibility of transformation into gods …. which I could never create because the created being’s free will has to accomplish this itself. The product of My love turned away from Me …. In its original substance it was love itself which turned away, which no longer gave itself away but desired to possess …. and which therefore completely contradicted My fundamental nature. Yet it was My emanated strength of love which irrevocably has to return to Me according to the order of eternity. But first the being must have changed again, and it must accomplish this change in free will. And every once fallen being will also reach this aim, even though eternities are necessary for this …. Even the first created being, which My infinite love had externalized from Me, will accomplish this transformation in itself, and it will be able to enter into highest glories …. but before that it will serve Me as an antipole because it has shaped itself into it …. For his kingdom also serves Me, he himself also works with …. even if unconsciously …. in the perfection of all spiritual things ….
Amen

Understanding spiritual knowledge ….
B.D. 8056 from December 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I want to open up your understanding for a knowledge which lies outside of intellectual thinking and which therefore cannot be taught to you by fellow human beings. Spiritual knowledge cannot be fathomed with the intellect, nor can it be understood with the intellect alone if it is brought to you …. I Myself must first be able to work in you through My spirit, which can only then give you the right understanding for it. You may well object that you don’t need such knowledge for your earthly life …. But this earthly life is not given to you to savour it earthly, that only your body creates what it believes it needs for its well-being …. For this earthly life will not last long, then you will exchange it for a life in the spiritual kingdom, in the kingdom about which you lack knowledge but which you should nevertheless strive to attain in order to use earthly life accordingly. You know nothing about what happens after your death; yet knowledge about it is imparted to you, and thus I Myself must provide you with the understanding for it, otherwise it will only remain dead knowledge which your intellect knows nothing about. And you should know that you will have to live a second life on earth which will not pass away, which will remain with you even if you have to suffer earthly death …. This second life is the life of the soul, it is the actual purpose of your earthly life that the soul matures, that the body is paid less attention to, that the soul gathers spiritual treasures in order to attain a spiritual life. However, empty knowledge about this is not of use to you, instead I Myself want to make this knowledge accessible to you so that you will understand it and then also lead your earthly life accordingly. Yet your intellect cannot give you sufficient clarification …. But I speak to you through the heart, and you will truly be able to understand this enlightenment if only it is your will to be introduced to the knowledge about the cause and aim of your earthly progress. Then My spirit will already be active in you and the bond with the kingdom which is not of this world will be established …. It will always be difficult for a worldly person to accept a world outside of the earthly, and if he is told about it his intellect will not be able to understand it …. Yet only a serious thought that there could still be a world makes My slight influence possible, even though I always respect the human being’s free will, thus I never force him to accept such influxes of thoughts which could bring him enlightenment …. But one thing is certain, that the earthly world …. earthly life as a human being …. is not an end in itself but a means to an end. Only this one thought should move people within themselves, and truly, they would be able to record success for the soul, which then would certainly desire and also receive further enlightenment …. Yet only I Myself can make spiritual knowledge accessible to you humans, I Myself cannot be switched off, for without Me you cannot prevent the fact that only your intellect is active and that it is influenced by My adversary, who does not give you light but wants to keep you in spiritual darkness. Hence, intellectual thinking without devotion to Me will only produce dead knowledge which only concerns earthly things, which only serves physical well-being but will not influence the life of the soul …. it will only ever answer material questions but it will never touch the kingdom which is your true home …. the spiritual kingdom from which you originated and into which you will enter again when your earthly life is over. But you should acquire knowledge about this kingdom, you should desire knowledge about it through the desire to establish the bond with Me, Who grasps every spiritually directed thought and also mentally answers it when I see that the will is good and the desire for enlightenment is serious …. Then My spirit in you will be stimulated into activity, and then I can make knowledge accessible to you which cannot be conveyed to you humanly …. unless My messengers convey it to you on My behalf, but then they will also have been taught by Me in order to proclaim the truth to you …. For you must learn the meaning and purpose of your earthly life so that you will also live it out with spiritual success, so that your soul will mature and attain eternal life ….
Amen

God's unusual help ….
B.D. 8057 from December 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I have to provide you humans with unusual help since you are also unusually harassed by My adversary …. He, who is completely opposed to Me, only ever strives to obstruct your way back to Me, to stir up resistance in you against Me and thus to prevent you from returning to your father’s house, which is the purpose and aim of your earthly life as a human being …. Therefore he will stop at nothing if he believes he can achieve his aim by completely separating you from Me. And thus you would be in greatest adversity if I did not help you, for I truly do not leave you to your fate, I offer you My help which you must indeed accept voluntarily because I do not force you. But even My adversary cannot force you, thus you are entirely free to turn to Me or to him …. This is why I appear unusually, I reveal Myself to you humans again and again, I address you unusually through strokes of fate when you are hardened of heart, but I also address you with gentle words and so obviously reveal My help to you if only you don’t close yourselves off but listen to Me …. Then you will receive unusual strength and need not fear falling prey to My adversary and his work …. You are not helplessly at his mercy, I truly hold My hands protectively over you if only I recognize your will which strives away from him and turns towards Me …. I reveal Myself to you, you can recognize a loving God and father if only you remember Me with an open heart and are only willing to live rightly and justly on earth …. Then you will not be at the mercy of evil forces, for then I will make sure that you recognize My extraordinary working, that you feel the closeness of your God and father and know that you are safe in My love and might. It is precisely My adversary’s obvious activity which gives rise to My unusual appearance, otherwise you humans would truly succumb to his arbitrariness and deceit. But I fight for your soul just like My adversary, and only your will decides who wins the victory over you. And therefore you should know everything, you should gain knowledge of My nature, of My love, wisdom and might …. And you should also know that you are still under My adversary’s rule as long as you don’t express the will to become free from him yourselves. And I Myself impart this knowledge to you because otherwise you would never be instructed in truth, because My adversary constantly endeavours to keep you in spiritual darkness, in lies and error, and then you will not see the path which leads out of darkness into light …. For this reason I light a lamp for you and show you the path, for this reason I also work in an unusual way, i.e. I use every opportunity to bestow the pure truth upon you humans so that you then take the path to Me of your own free will, Whom you also learn to recognize and love through the truth and Who can then also take possession of you if you voluntarily turn to Him and desire Him. Believe that the truth will set you free …. that you can liberate yourselves from My adversary’s power if you know that I Myself will help you, that I will stand by your side as soon as you merely request and allow My presence through your will, which is free and therefore neither I nor My adversary can forcefully turn towards it …. You alone decide, and so that you decide correctly you will be introduced to the truth, and blessed is he who accepts it, who recognizes and acknowledges Me as God and father from eternity and who now consciously takes the path to Me …. For I come to meet him and never ever let him fall into My adversary’s hands. I Myself take possession of him and never let him fall into the hands of My adversary again.
Amen

Incentive for vineyard work ….
B.D. 8058 from December 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
My love will carry you over everything, for I want to protect My own in every adversity of body and soul. The time is very serious and countless people are in danger of falling prey to My adversary’s activity and therefore need active help, they must be warned against him and admonished to stick to Me, whatever may come. And since I cannot address every person Myself, because not every person is in the spiritual state to be able to hear Me Myself, I need helpers on earth …. People who, wanting to serve Me, transfer My proclaimed will to their fellow human beings, people who inform their fellow human beings of a God of love Who still wants to win them all over for Himself before the end. People are addicted to the world and earthly goods and would never be able to hear My voice if I wanted to speak to them. And therefore a way has to be found to open up the spiritual kingdom to these worldly people as well, to make them understand that they only live in a world of appearances and that the real world, which will remain eternally, is the spiritual kingdom from which they came and into which they will return again after the death of their body …. If it is possible to make them think about this once, then much is already gained. And you, My servants on earth, should help them to do so; you should make it possible for Me to speak to them through you, and you do this by spreading My word, by also conveying to your fellow human beings what My love and grace allows you to receive and what is helpful for the salvation of your souls. And if you now work for Me, on My behalf, as My faithful servants, I will also protectively hold My hands over you and always provide you with the strength to carry out this work for Me. Anyone who wants to serve Me will be accepted, for I need vineyard labourers everywhere, there is great spiritual hardship among people everywhere and time is hurrying …. the last hour of the world clock will soon strike and My servants cannot be busy enough, for to have saved just one soul from the new banishment at the end of the earth is a gain which cannot be valued highly enough. And you can believe that My might is great, that I am able to do everything, that no thing is impossible for Me …. And therefore you need never doubt that you will be able to carry out My order …. Only your will should completely belong to Me, and then I can also work on you and bestow unusual blessings upon you, I can always provide for you physically and spiritually such that you will be able to carry out My will and that you will also be able to successfully complete your mission. After all, I alone determine every person’s fate, I alone determine his life span, and I alone know what is good for you and your salvation …. But I also know what work you are willing to do for Me, and I make use of your willingness, for I need mediators from Me to people in the last days whom My call shall also reach so that they will find Me and be saved before the end …. It only ever applies to build a bridge from My adversary’s kingdom into My kingdom …. it only applies to show people this bridge, for even the people of the world will come into great adversity and then they can remember your words, they can remember Me and call upon Me, but they must first have gained knowledge that I am a powerful and loving God Who can help everyone who just wants to be helped …. And you should convey this knowledge to them, again and again you should let My word go out into the world …. you should use every opportunity to proclaim Me and My will to your fellow human beings, and you should not miss an hour, for the time is hurrying and the end is near …. And My protection, My grace and My love will always be certain for you …. You will be led through all adversity, you will recover physically and spiritually if only you firmly believe in Me and trust Me, for I will not let a firm faith fail ….
Amen

Belief in the soul's continuation of life ….
B.D. 8059 from December 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
If only people would believe that their soul …. their actual Self …. is immortal, if only they would believe that the soul as a human being on this earth is preparing its own fate in the kingdom of the beyond when it leaves its earthly body …. One day people will bitterly regret their indifference to their later fate, for one day they will realise what they had neglected to do in their earthly life, what they could have achieved had they believed the warnings and admonitions which were constantly given to them on earth. The indifference to their future fate is the great evil which threatens to pull many people into the abyss …. And therefore they shall only ever be informed of the fact that there is a continuation of life after death, that they cannot cease to exist even if they have to shed their earthly body …. their thoughts shall be directed towards this time which will come as certain as one day will follow the other …. If only they were able to gain the belief in a continuation of life after death they would also live more responsibly. This, too, cannot be proven to them, they can only believe it …. but they can gain a convinced faith if they think about it and question their actual purpose of earthly life …. Just a spiritually directed thought would suffice for a person to mentally receive an answer from the kingdom which is the soul’s true home …. Yet such questioning thoughts have to be sent out by the human being of his own free will, for he cannot be forcibly urged into such spiritual thinking. But the smallest impulses are enough for him to question himself, and it will definitely only have beneficial results. Hence the human being will often have to suffer severe losses which can affect everything he loves …. earthly commodities or even people dear to him, the loss of which can motivate him to such thoughts …. And then even harsh strokes of fate will have become a blessing for him if they lead the person into a spiritual train of thought and thus enable spiritual powers to intervene, trying to instruct him. And if a person is asked whether he assuredly believes in the soul’s continuation of life he will usually doubt it, even if he is religiously instructed in such a way, because he has not yet openly contradicted it. But he lacks the inner conviction and this makes him indifferent in his conduct, which should be aimed towards this life in the spiritual kingdom. But time and again the human being will have to deal with experiences which can and should direct his thoughts to the end which is certain for him and yet will not denote an end for his soul. And frequently he will also receive instructions by way of conversations or as printed material, although he can accept or reject them of his own free will ….
And even the loss of earthly goods can make the human being think and wonder whether owning these is the real purpose of earthly existence …. Then it is possible that he will change his way of thinking; then it is possible that he will not regard a continuation of life after death to be out of the question and afterwards he will lead a conscious way of life, because he believes that he will have to be answerable for it one day. And then the certainty that his body’s death is not the end will steadily grow, for wherever there is the slightest will to live expediently on earth the human being will also receive help and he will not go astray ….

Promise: 'The outpouring of the spirit ….'
B.D. 8060 from December 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I have promised that I shall pour out My spirit upon all flesh, and servants and handmaidens shall prophesy …. And all My promises will come to pass because My Word is truth …. Hence you humans should not deem it unusual that I express Myself through the spirit, that I manifest Myself to you …. For it is the time of the end and it is necessary that I give evidence of Myself to you, although you are not forced to look upon these expressions through the spirit as proof of Myself …. It is your own free choice; nevertheless, you will find it easier to gain faith if you accept what is revealed to you through the outpouring of My spirit. I want to help you because you are too weak on your own, for you lack the strength which arises from love …. And love has grown cold amongst people …. Only love will bring your faith to life …. And therefore you shall be instructed by Me directly about the necessity of a life of love, because your fellow human beings’ advice to comply with the commandments of love is not taken seriously by you. But there is no other path to faith and thus also to salvation than love …. which expresses itself in selfless neighbourly love. And in order to inform you of what you have to do …. in order to inform you of My will, I reveal Myself to you through the spirit …. I pour out My spirit upon all flesh …. I Myself speak to you, insofar as that My Father-Spirit addresses the spiritual spark within you, which will subsequently guide you into truth, which will explain everything you are expected to believe, so that you will then affirm the knowledge which, although it cannot be proven, will nevertheless no longer seem doubtful to you, because I Myself convey it to you through the working of My spirit within you. And thus My promise is coming true.
My obvious activity has become necessary in the last days because people are completely without faith. If they therefore make an effort to fulfil My will …. if they make an effort to live a life of love according to My divine commandments, they will soon be able to believe, since the spirit within them will come alive and will teach them from within, so that they will also be convinced that what is revealed to them through the working of the spirit is true.
And since this promise is included in the Scriptures, it should not be implausible to people that I reveal Myself …. And yet, My Word is not being recognised as the fulfilment of the said promise and is rejected and attacked especially by those who draw upon the Book of Books …. For they take a negative view of the New Revelations because their spirit has not yet come alive and they are still spiritually unenlightened. Nevertheless, My Word shall not pass away, My promises will come true, and time and again I will reveal Myself to those who desire to hear My voice and who, through love, bring the spirit within them to life, who, through a life of love according to My will, also make heartfelt contact with Me, so that My eternal Father-Spirit can express itself to the spiritual spark …. And they will have a living faith, everything imparted to them through My spirit will become their conviction, for they know they only receive truth from Me, that I illuminate their hearts and that they are permeated by My spirit of love which dispels all spiritual darkness …. And thus I will help you find your way out of the spiritual night, I will help all people to realise My will and will also give you the strength to fulfil it …. And then you will be able to believe, nothing will frighten you anymore, for with unwavering faith in Me and My power you will entrust yourselves to Me and I will have won you over for time and eternity ….
Amen

"He who listens to you, listens to Me Myself …."
B.D. 8061 from December 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
You are given the task of spreading My word …. And you truly render Me blessed services when you act as mediators between Me and people whom I cannot address Myself but who shall nevertheless hear My word so that it will touch their hearts and they will listen to My voice. My word sounds down to earth from above …. I descend to you Myself, as it were, and speak to you. But there are only ever a few who hear Me, to whom I can speak directly and who also recognize My address as the father’s voice …. Yet My word shall resound everywhere, and for this I need you, for you find access to your fellow human beings, and what you convey to them they also accept while they …. to be able to hear My direct address …. would have to consciously open themselves to Me and My illumination of love and do not do so of their own accord. Hence you should serve as mediators, you should make it possible for Me to speak through your mouth, you should make it possible for them to read My word which then will truly not fail to have an effect. And thus many people can be addressed by Me if you take your task seriously, if you only ever make sure that people can take notice of My unusual gift of grace, which can have a great effect if only one person is of good will. How often do they not find what fully satisfies their hearts in church congregations…. they are and remain empty, for they lack My word’s strength which, however, My pure word from above vouches for. As soon as I Myself can speak to a person he will also noticeably feel the strength of the word, and he will happily accept it and no longer want to miss it …. Only ever carry My word out into the world …. Be diligent in your work in My vineyard and it will bring you and your fellow human beings the greatest blessing. Admittedly, most people know about Me as God and creator, they also know about My will …. But this knowledge is no longer alive for them, it was imparted to them when they were not yet capable of judgment themselves, it was brought up in them but has lost the inner spirit, or also: the spirit has not yet come alive, and everything they know about Me and My will is only dead knowledge which does not and has not found an echo in them and is therefore worthless …. And this knowledge shall come alive in them through you, it shall have an effect as strength, it shall stimulate people into activity on their souls; it shall contribute towards them seriously seeking contact with Me and that they now consciously fulfil their purpose of earthly life …. They must be informed of their earthly life task, of its outcome and its aim …. And therefore I call you again and again to diligent vineyard work …. Do not fail to convey My word wherever an opportunity presents itself …. Always remember that a soul can be regained for My kingdom, that the souls are in great spiritual need, which are completely distant from Me, which have not yet established contact with the One Who created them …. Bring My word to all I lead you into the path, for I know it who needs it, who has the maturity to let it come alive in him …. For not long anymore and My voice will resound audibly and then all those who have received My word within themselves, who have gained knowledge of Me and My working on you, of My love for all My creatures and My willingness to help those who appeal to Me in greatest adversity, will also possess exceedingly great strength. Still scatter much of the seed so that it takes root and still brings forth abundant fruit …. And be faithful servants to Me, for I need you all the more the closer the end is …. For I wrestle for every soul to find the way to Me before the end is there …. And I Myself will open the doors for you through which you shall enter in order to offer people the gifts of your lord to bring them the gospel …. And whoever listens to you listens to Me Myself, and he will truly not be lost ….
Amen

God's justice …. Judgment …. Work of redemption ….
B.D. 8062 from December 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I am a good and just God …. My love belongs to you, My creatures, always and forever. And yet, out of My love I cannot approve of an injustice, I cannot make you happy with My love if you have become sinful …. but this does not mean that I punish you for your sins, instead, you yourselves create an unhappy state for yourselves through sin, you distance yourselves from Me, and this always signifies unhappiness, for My love cannot touch you because you create the distance yourselves through sin and I cannot influence you against My eternal order …. And therefore every sin requires atonement according to My law of order, so that My justice will be satisfied, so that you can approach Me again in order to receive My love. My nature is love and mercy, and therefore I am also exceedingly long-suffering …. Nevertheless, My justice cannot be eliminated because it also belongs to My nature, which is exceedingly perfect. And thus I must also let punitive judgments come upon you, but you always initiate them yourselves, because you must come to order again in order to become blissfully happy, and because acts of atonement are necessary for this …. States which are only ever the effects of people’s wrong will, thus consequences of sin …. which I therefore allow so that the sins are atoned for and you humans enter a state again which brings you close to Me and you can then also be made happy by My love again. Such punitive judgments are only ever educational means, they are means to lead you back to Me again; but they are never evidence or expressions of My wrath …. For I feel no wrath because I am Love …. yet My justice causes Me to make you feel the consequences of your sins Myself in order to change you. And thus you draw every punishment upon yourselves, but you yourselves can also let it become a blessing for you if you turn to Me in every adversity, be it physical or spiritual …. if you confess your sin and appeal to Me in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your guilt. My love for you is so great that it accepts every sinner, that I write his guilt in the sand and that I also no longer demand atonement from you when you call to Jesus and hand your guilt over to Him …. But I cannot do this as long as you remain in sin, as long as you don’t believe in Jesus’ act of salvation and still live your earthly life at a distance from Me. Then I will have to try to win you in the form of a punitive judgment which will then only ever be a sign of My righteousness for you, which cannot accept you as long as you persist in sin …. Then the effects of sin will rebound on yourselves …. Then you may be affected by sufferings and hardships and adversities of all kinds …. but these are then the compensation for your sins, you make atonement, you bear away guilt while you are still on earth, and you can find the way to the cross …. And then the path to Me will also become free again for all of you, then I can accept you again, I can prepare a blissful fate for you because I can bestow My love upon you again …. and because My justice has been served ….
Amen

Spiritual petition: Prayer for grace and strength ….
B.D. 8063 from December 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
From My abundance you may take grace upon grace. For I distribute with full hands, I do not limit My gifts if only you want Me to give them to you …. And My love for you is truly exceedingly great, for I see weak little children in you who cannot ascend without help, who need My help to ascend. And if you now appeal to Me for grace and strength it will truly be granted to you, because I will gladly grant such a request, after all, it proves to Me your will to reach Me, from Whom you once took your origin. And you admit your weakness, you recognize the deficient state you are in and humbly come to Him Who is strength and light Himself and also wants to provide you with strength and light. You can certainly dispose of vitality in earthly life but this does not yet guarantee your ascent to the height because you need spiritual strength for it, which you can indeed acquire with vitality …. And if you therefore ask for spiritual strength you recognize your state of weakness yourselves and try to remedy it. I give you everything, I am constantly willing to hand it out, and no-one need go empty-handed who hopes to be strengthened by Me …. But you must approach Me for this …. For once you rejected My love …. and this meant that you became powerless, because My love loses effectiveness as soon as it encounters resistance. Therefore you first have to give up your resistance, and you prove this to Me when you appeal to Me for grace and strength …. which means that you are willing to return to Me, that you feel the lack of love as a weakened state and want to receive it again. And thus I can also give Myself to you and provide you with grace and strength …. And truly, I will distribute abundantly to you, you will have no lack and now also cover your earthly path of life with success. You will pass your test of will and only ever turn your eyes towards Me because I will now draw you with My love. You can believe that you will not be successful on your own, that you need Me and My help ….. My greater than great love guarantees that I will grant you this, yet you must request it yourselves, you must turn your thoughts towards Me and open yourselves for the influx of strength of grace. Just as you once turned away from Me and closed yourselves in free will …. so you must now come to Me again of your own free will, and your prayers will truly be answered, for My love only ever wants to give itself away, it wants to make you happy, it wants to awaken the dead, it wants to strengthen the weak …. It wants to draw you to itself and therefore seeks union with you, but you have to enter into it of your own free will because I don’t force you. But then I will know no restrictions, you may receive strength and grace in abundance, and the ascent upwards will be easy for you, you will live your earthly life in accordance with its purpose; you will come to realize that I Myself and the union with Me is the purpose and aim of your earthly life. And now you will consciously walk the earthly path, for then you will feel like your father’s children, you will establish the right relationship of a child to its father, and truly, you will return to your father’s house and now be and remain united with Me forever …. You will make right use of all graces and mature on earth …. You will now be able to enter My kingdom as My true children, which is your true home ….
Amen

Introspection ….
B.D. 8064 from December 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
You too, My loyal servants, have to be admonished by Me to improve your souls more eagerly, for as long as you live on earth you all still carry immature substances within yourselves. You all more or less still have to fight against inclinations, longings and all kinds of weaknesses, and you should always remember that you ought to spiritualise these substances during your earthly life. A constant struggle will have to take place, and you should overcome them, you should try to influence the unspiritual substances with much love to let go of you, to join the desire of the spirit within you, to stop pestering your soul so that it will be able to ascend to the pinnacle with ever greater ease and without being held back. I want to make the path to happiness easier for all of you, but you also have to work on yourselves, you seriously have to examine yourselves as to what weaknesses and faults are still burdening you; you have to question yourselves whether your soul is still constrained by any cravings …. you have to fight against every impure impulse, suppress each irate motion, you must not send out any ignoble thoughts and deny any human being your love …. you have to try to put right every injustice you have inflicted on a fellow human being ….
Your thinking shall always be noble and pure, which excludes every thought of hatred and vengeance …. You should avoid every unkind word and always remember that you expect love, compassion and forgiveness from Me, thus you should also grant the same to your fellow human being …. In everything you think or say you should know that I know it too, and you should ask yourselves whether you are behaving correctly in My presence? …. I know that you are all still weak, that the battle which you should wage against yourselves is indeed the most difficult …. But My strength is always at your disposal and you only need to send a pleading thought to Me and, truly, I will give you the strength and you will be victorious …. You will be able to pacify the evil spirits within yourselves. They will leave you progressively more alone, they will become modest and also comply with the soul’s desire to calm down and make use of the strength for their own purification ….
For they have this possibility to reach maturity themselves within the earthly body and to join the soul, because it will take all fully matured spiritual substances along into the kingdom of the beyond when it has to leave its earthly body. The soul itself still has various instincts within itself from its previous embodiments, which it is supposed to change for the better …. And it is also pestered by the body of flesh, because that is shaped from unspiritual substances …. But the human being also has the possibility to exercise a redeeming influence on these evil spirits …. if he tries to change all negative qualities to the contrary until he has become humble, gentle, peaceful, compassionate and just …. until he has become love himself, which includes all those virtues, and then the human being will also be able to enter the spiritual kingdom fully matured. And therefore you should seriously examine yourselves as to what virtues you are still missing …. investigate, whether you have changed your nature completely already …. check, what you still need and seriously work at improving yourselves ….
And you most certainly will be successful if only you have the serious intention and appeal to Me to give you strength because you are too weak on your own. Call upon Me in Jesus so that I will strengthen your will, so that you will lose your weakness of will, so that I will forgive you when you have become sinful, and truly, My help is assured to you, for it is My own will that your souls shall mature, and I Am truly pleased in those who take changing their nature into love seriously …. For as soon as you are full of love all unspiritual substances within you will also become spiritualised, because they cannot resist the strength of love. But wherever these evil spirits are still active, love is not yet profound enough, in other words, I Am as yet not able to work in all fullness within you and you will have to fight to become pure so that I can take abode in you …. And then you will also have been redeemingly active within yourselves ….
Amen

B.D. 8065 from December 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
How dark was the world when I descended to earth …. Only rarely did a light shine, only rarely were the people in whom a light of love was kindled, and they recognized the great adversity and called for a saviour Who should redeem the world from sin and death. For they had received the knowledge that the Messiah was to come to bring salvation to people, and they waited for this Messiah, for they had been informed by prophets of His appearance in this world. And this prayer of the few I heard …. I Myself descended to earth because the prophecies were to be fulfilled and because the need was so great that one had to come as saviour and redeemer of the world …. And I emanated My light, I let My love radiate upon all people, and those who stayed within My flow of love were truly filled by the light of love themselves, and they recognized Me as the Messiah Who was to redeem the world from sin and death. Where darkness is, there My adversary has supremacy, and he truly rages amongst humanity in order to corrupt it …. But I came into this world as a brightly shining light and illuminated his activity, so that he was recognized as satan and corrupter by those who desired to walk in the light, who kindled love within themselves and who therefore were willing listeners when I proclaimed My word to them: My divine teaching of love, the fulfilment of which alone meant salvation for humanity from its spiritual adversity …. The light itself descended to earth …. Love embodied itself in a human being Who prepared itself as a vessel for the divine light of love from eternity …. I took on flesh because I Myself, as an inexhaustible source of strength, had to choose a cover for Myself in order to be able to dwell amongst you humans who would have passed away if My immeasurable abundance of light and strength had shone upon you …. if I had met you unveiled. And so a soul of light offered itself …. an angelic spirit called into being by Me …. to animate this human outer form and thus to prepare a vessel for Me into which My strength of love could now pour …. so that I Myself could dwell among you humans in this human outer shell, so that you could now receive from My light of love what you desired when darkness oppressed you humans and you wanted to chase it away through the light …. which shone forth from Me Myself to you and illuminated the dark night …. I lived as the “man Jesus” in the midst of you humans …. I had therefore descended to earth because I wanted to bring help to you humans in greatest spiritual need …. I wanted to release you from the power of the one you once voluntarily followed into the abyss and from whom you alone were unable to escape. This is why I Myself came to earth as saviour, for I accomplished the act of salvation for you in the human being Jesus …. Through My crucifixion I redeemed the guilt which kept you distant from Me and which first had to find its just atonement if I wanted to receive you into My kingdom again, if you wanted to dwell in the light again as in the beginning …. The light descended into darkness …. A being of light had to come to earth in Whom the eternal light could manifest Itself …. A human shell had to receive a soul of light, which then prepared its body for Me so that it would not perish when I Myself took up residence in this human form …. For I Myself was the power of love Which emanated Itself into infinity but Which needed an external cover as long as It dwelled amongst you humans who had renounced all light. But I was only recognized by a few because a spark of love still glowed in them which pushed towards Me and they were also lifted out of the darkness. But first the act of salvation had to be accomplished, the original sin had to be redeemed, the purchase price had to be paid for the souls which were still under My adversary’s control who did not want to release them. And the man Jesus walked a difficult earthly path …. He prepared Himself to become My dwelling place and to receive Me into Himself. And thus His whole way of life was only a change of love, because love intimately united Him with Me and caused Me to take abode in Him …. And thus His greater than great love offered Me a sacrifice for His fallen brothers …. He took their guilt upon Himself and went with it to the cross …. He suffered and died in terrible agony and endured by virtue of His great love …. For He had received Me Himself, He had completely united Himself with Me, He Himself had become love, which is My primal element, so that I Myself thus accomplished the work of redemption in the man Jesus ….
(19.12.1961) And I redeemed you from sin and death, I restored you to the state which existed before your fall into sin …. yet I make it dependent on your will to acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ and to believe that you will find salvation. I shone down on this earth as a bright light, and in this light humanity was now able to recognize the path it had to take in order to return to Me again, into the father’s house. In the darkness before people did not find the way and therefore they constantly walked astray, they were in the realm of My adversary and knew no path which led out into My kingdom. I Myself first had to open up this path for you, on which you can now all follow Me, and that is why I descended to earth, that is why I put on flesh and offered the most difficult sacrifice for you in the human being Jesus …. I have lit a light that will never go out again, for the work of redemption has been accomplished for all time …. again and again the path to the cross will be the path for people which leads back to Me, into My kingdom …. And again and again you humans will be pointed to the one Who died for you on the cross …. the great love of the man Jesus will always be presented to you as the ‘path of discipleship’, and you will truly also walk in the light because you kindle it within yourselves as soon as you fulfil His commandments of love …. as well as you connect yourselves with Me Myself through love …. For you will have overcome darkness, you will be free from your enemy and adversary, you will return to the father again from Whom you once came forth ….
Amen

2 Peter 3:10 ….
B.D. 8066 from December 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 85
The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night …. the day when I will reveal Myself to humanity with a voice of thunder which will be heard by everyone and which no human being will be able to avoid …. For sooner or later the act of transforming the earth will have to take place, sooner or later order must be established once again; the earth must again become a place of education for the souls which should mature fully and reach perfection. And this day has been planned for eternity, My plan is based on the fact that a transformation like that will occur one day because the human race itself will provide the reason for it …. which was certainly recognised by My wisdom …. And thus My power will also implement the plan and you can expect this day with certainty …. it will bring one period of Salvation to an end and a new one will start, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture …. Time and again I point this out to you, but since you humans don’t believe, since you don’t take My Words seriously, it will take you by surprise, for even if My adversary reigns on Earth in the last days, even if he brings people so completely under his control that they lose all faith and in the end are true devils which oppress My Own and cause them utmost distress, they will nevertheless be equally horrified when My Own are lifted up before their eyes and they realise that they cannot be saved anymore, that they will fall prey to an act of destruction themselves, that there is no way out anymore and that the earth will devour them …. For there is no other way to purify the earth; all living creations will have to be dissolved and the spiritual substances within be placed into new forms …. a comprehensive cleansing work has to take place so as to re-establish order, which will also guarantee progression for the spiritual beings and which will completely exclude My adversary’s activity for a period of time, on account of which he and his followers will be constrained for a long time.
This day of the end is proclaimed to you humans over and over again, yet only a few believe in it and even these few have no idea how close it is …. yet I will repeat My admonitions and warnings until the end, until the end I will address everyone and draw your attention to it, and until the end every one of you will still have the opportunity to avoid the horror of this end …. And therefore don’t pity those who leave you, whom I take from this life prematurely …. don’t pity them, for their fate is better than yours who live until the end and don’t believe …. They still have the opportunity to attain light in the beyond, but the former continue to descend ever deeper, for I know that they would also choose the path to the abyss in the kingdom of the beyond, that they would not make use of the blessings of an early death; after all, I know the state of every soul and accordingly also shape its earthly destiny. And even if it is difficult to believe in an end of this earth, people will nevertheless have no excuse for they should only live righteously, then their end will not result in their banishment into hard matter, then they will either belong to My Own, whom I will return to the new earth, or they will still be recalled before and then they will not go astray either …. But it is better that they prepare themselves for an approaching end, that they take the possibility into account of being suddenly faced by an act of destruction from which there will be no more escape …. Anyone who reflects on these thoughts just once will certainly also find the path to Me, to the Creator of heaven and earth, Who brought everything forth from Him and therefore can also destroy everything again …. And I would like to rescue all of you from ruin; consequently I will bring the final work of destruction on earth home to you time and again …. And anyone who believes will not have to fear this day either, for he will prepare himself, and even if he is still weak and not perfect, he will nevertheless find a merciful Judge Who will not condemn him but help him attain eternal life ….
Amen

Meaning of the love commandments …. Love became cold ….
B.D. 8067 from December 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 85
It is the same adversity on earth as at the time when I descended to earth to bring people the light, to rescue them from deep night in which they would have hopelessly sunk without My love. And again I come to earth in the word, again I kindle a light for people which shall lead them out of the darkness of night into the light of day …. Again I Myself speak to people as I did when I walked across the earth. I bring them the gospel, the divine teaching of love, because I know that their lack of strength, their spiritual darkness, is only caused by the lack of love, which is light and strength for everyone who practices it, who lives a life of love for God and his neighbour. Humanity is in greatest spiritual adversity because it does not pay attention to what I announced to it …. it disregards My commandments of love and has completely fallen prey to the one who is devoid of all love. And this adversity cannot be remedied in any other way than through a way of life in love …. But love has grown cold among people and My adversary rules their hearts and drives them to ever greater lack of love …. For this reason I descended to people in the word and now walk the earth again and am present to everyone who wants to listen to Me and kindle love in his heart. And again and again I prove this presence of Mine to you by addressing you, by you writing down My word on My behalf and thus also making it accessible to your fellow human beings who want to hear it and who also believe in My address because the flame of love burns in their hearts and the heart recognizes Me as God and father from eternity Who speaks to His child. The great spiritual adversity prompts Me to address you as I did before when I Myself dwelled amongst people and addressed them in the same way. Few recognized Me then, and only a few recognize Me today, and yet it is the same God Who speaks to them, the God and creator from eternity, from Whose love and power you emerged and to Whom you will belong for all eternity. But you humans can only hear My voice directly when you live as I Myself exemplified life to you on earth, when you walk in love …. And thus I must proclaim to you today, as I did then, the commandments of love for God and your neighbour, I must tell you the cause of your spiritual darkness and your great adversity and show you the way to get out of it …. I must explain to you the meaning of a life of love and constantly admonish you to live in My will …. For I want to help you, I want to be your saviour again from night and death, I want to awaken you to life where you can enjoy light and freedom. And therefore I descend to you in the word and once again bring you the divine teaching of love, the gospel, in its purest form. For you shall recognize Me Myself in the word which flows from above to earth and wants to enter your hearts …. For then I Myself can also take abode in you, I can be present in you and address you Myself …. And you will recognize the voice of the father Who speaks to His child …. And what I have to say to you will always be the same: Love Me above all else and your neighbour as yourself …. Therein lies your whole task of earthly life, that you recognize Me Myself through a life of love in unselfishness, thus believe in Me alive, and that you now also acknowledge Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world and son of God, in Whom I embodied Myself …. and that you will be saved through this faith …. But living faith requires love, and therefore I will only ever proclaim My teaching of love to you, and it will be the content of the word which flows down to you directly from above, which resounds in you as the working of My spirit as soon as you live in love yourselves …. My word teaches love, and you can provide yourselves with the evidence of My presence in you if only you live a life of love, for then I will speak to you and you will be able to hear Me …. And the spiritual adversity will leave you, the night will give way to the light of day, you will be full of light yourselves, for then you will draw Me to yourselves, because love desires love …. And then you will fulfil your purpose of earthly life: you will become love again and return to Me from Whom you once originated ….
Amen

The Eternal Light descended to Earth ….
B.D. 8068 from December 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I gave you what you needed in the darkness of night when I descended to Earth: a light, which should illuminate for you the path back to Me into your Father’s house. Î sent My Son to earth, a soul of light, which shone brightly and took the path across the earth as a human being, which started its earthly path as the infant Jesus and ended on the cross, so that you humans would be able to attain bliss. A soul of light descended into My adversary’s dark domain, and I embodied Myself in this soul of light, because the human being Jesus drew Me, the Eternal Love, to Himself with all His might, because He accepted Me Myself in His heart, which was full of love for Me and for His fellow human beings. A soul of light was sheltered in the infant Jesus which indeed gave up its light because it had to stay as the human being Jesus in the midst of human beings, but He was full of love as well and did not let go of this love but increased it within Himself …. so that He, with an abundance of strength of love, thus performed miracles and taught in all wisdom on earth. He was a human being, for the mission of Jesus, the man, consisted of showing His fellow human beings the path which leads back to Me, to the Father, and to walk this path ahead of them, to live a life of love Himself, which alone brings people close to Me again, as I Am Love Itself …. But this happened in lawful order, a human body was animated by a soul …. yet His soul was a soul of light. Nevertheless, as a human being it was as subjected to the same temptations as every other person. But since Jesus, the soul, was full of love, this love also gave it the strength to resist the temptations …. It had relinquished the light, that is, at the start of His life on earth Jesus, the human being, was without knowledge like every other person, but the love within Him very quickly illuminated His spirit, the love within Him soon emanated bright light so that Jesus recognised humanity’s great adversity as well as its origin, which had been caused by the original sin of the human race …. Jesus constantly increased in wisdom and strength because love filled Him ever more, because He was in most intimate contact with Me and thus enabled My light of love to permeate Him completely …. And then He emanated light in turn, He instructed people with wisdom, He performed miracles by virtue of His power which was based on His great love ….
The man Jesus spiritualised Himself during His life on earth, because His love achieved that the body willingly submitted itself to the soul’s wishes, because body and soul always had the same aim: to help people in their adversity, to take redemptive actions, spiritually and earthly …. He healed the sick since He also wanted to demonstrate the strength of love to people and first expressed this in a perceptible earthly way in order to win them over to Himself, so that they would accept His divine teaching of love and make an effort to follow Him on the path of love. But people were still subject to My adversary’s power, who had no intention of setting them free and who weakened their will in every conceivable way …. And the man Jesus wanted to break this power, He wanted to defeat him with My strength …. for the love in Him was overwhelmingly powerful, and through this love He forced Me increasingly more to express My love, He drew Me, the ‘Eternal Love’ to Himself, and thus I was in Him and in this most heartfelt unity with Me the man Jesus accomplished the act of Salvation …. that is, as a human being He endured the greatest suffering and torment because the Love in Him …. I Myself …. gave Him the strength to accomplish this act of Salvation. Thus, He waged battle against My adversary as a human being, and through His death on the cross He achieved victory over him and over death …. That which previously had been impossible for people, to release themselves from his control, became possible for them after the act of Salvation …. The Saviour Who had descended to earth brought help to humanity in this immense adversity, yet this was only possible through ‘love’, and I Myself was this love …. The fact that ‘Love’ had chosen a human form for Itself was necessary on account of people, for they were meant to recognise Jesus as the One in Whom the Divine had manifested Itself in abundance, because I Myself was unable to be visible to people and therefore had to avail Myself of a human shell …. And that only a soul of light was able to offer this shell to Me is likewise understandable, because I would have been unable to take abode in an impure soul …. Besides, the human shell was meant to lead the way for people which I opened up to them in Jesus …. Consequently, as a human being He had to be of the same kind as every human being, otherwise people would have been unable to follow Him …. Yet, He Himself, the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, will always be at people’s side as a Helper …. while the man Jesus only used the strength of love, but this permeated Him fully and completely, so that therefore ‘love’ accomplished the act which signified redemption from sin and death for humanity. Time and again I try to reveal this mystery to you humans, yet you will only be able to grasp its full depth when you have changed yourselves into love …. Then there will also be light in you, then the divine light of love will permeate you again as it was in the beginning and you will be very happy ….
Amen

Teaching ministry …. 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise ….'
B.D. 8069 from December 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
You can only correctly administer a teaching ministry if you possess the correct teaching material which corresponds to the truth. And precisely this teaching material should be seriously scrutinised by you if you want to educate your fellow human beings, because only that which came forth from Me as pure truth is a blessing. Yet this scrutiny is usually omitted, people accept unhesitatingly and as a matter of course what they receive as truth and even take care to spread it without having established the origin, without being firmly convinced themselves of having received the truth. But a teacher’s position is a responsible one, for he can bestow great blessings but also poisonously influence people’s hearts because only truth benefits the soul, while error is genuine poison. And anyone who wants to teach can clarify for himself whether he represents pure truth, providing he has the serious will to stand up for it and appeals to Me Myself for assistance to enlighten His thoughts and not to let him go astray. He will certainly find My support and I Myself will guide him into truth. For this is My promise to you and it will come true because My Word is truth. And you must know the truth, for then you will walk with Me, whereas error will time and again result im My adversary’s company, who only wants to cause you damage and therefore prevents you from attaining the light of truth. For this reason, every teacher has a great responsibility if he spreads something that does not correspond to the truth. And you humans believe that you can acquire truthful knowledge through study …. you believe, that you can attain spiritual knowledge by intellectual means and only pay attention to those people who thus have adopted ample intellectual knowledge, and are also willing to acknowledge it as truth. But I will ‘destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent ….’ Do you now understand the meaning of these Words? You will never come into possession of the pure truth if you don’t come to Me yourselves and desire the truth from Me …. For I have reserved it for Myself to guide you into truth, because I alone know who is receptive for it, who has the spiritual maturity in order to recognise the truth as such …. And the spiritual maturity, in turn, depends on the human being’s serious will to live according to My will. Contact in spirit and in truth must have been established with Me first, so that My flow of love can pour into the person, and this flow of love is the transfer of My Word, of the truth, in the form of thoughts or the audibly conveyed Word ….
Then the person will be guaranteed to know the truth, his thinking will be right, and he need not fear to fall prey to error, for the heartfelt bond with Me and the desire for truth will protect him from it …. But where can such desire be found among the teachers, who believe themselves to know the truth …. who have not yet understood the spiritual correlations, who do not know which prerequisites need to be fulfilled in order to be deemed worthy by Me to receive the truth? …. Spiritual knowledge is indifferently adopted through tradition and taught, and people accept it again without thinking it through, and thus enter into spiritual darkness or they cannot find their way out of the darkness they are in …. For misguided teachings cannot enlighten anyone, instead, they only increase the darkness and cause spiritual hardship to souls, because they need light in order to take the right path which leads to higher spheres. And all this must also make the urgency of My revelations understandable for you humans, for the time left is only short, and if people are to find and take the right path they will need light to illuminate the path for them. Light, however, can only come from above, and everyone administering a teaching position should first make contact with the light of eternity in order to be illuminated by this light himself, and truly, the spiritual hardship would not be as great if the truth were accepted by people …. And whatever can still be done by Me will certainly happen, for only truth sets people free, only truth guides people back to Me, and only through truth can you humans become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Draw from the spring the water of life ….
B.D. 8070 from December 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 85
I will always keep the spring open for you so that you can quench your thirst at any time, for you need a healthy water of life from which your soul can strengthen itself because it is still weak and powerless. And thus you only need to want to receive and the water of life will flow out of the spring and flow to you without limit. In this you recognize My love for you which always wants to give itself away and which only requires an open heart in order to flow into it. I only require from you the desire to be bestowed by Me, and My gifts of grace will flow to you unmeasured because such a desire pleases Me, Who can only ever consider you if you give up all resistance against Me, thus desire to receive the water of life from Me yourselves. And thus you know that the source of life is always open for you and that you should only humbly ask Me to allow you to refresh yourselves with it …. And truly, you will not need to live in want, you will be given according to your state of weakness, for you shall recover at My source of love, you shall truly be allowed to refresh yourselves and receive what you desire. And thus I want to comfort you in suffering, strengthen you in weakness of soul and also of body, I want to instruct you and introduce you to the truth …. I want to please you through My personal address which, however, only ever applies to the salvation of the soul; I want to reveal Myself to you as a father Who dearly loves His children and strives for unification with them …. I will not miss any opportunity where I can speak to My children because they need My address, because they have to draw the water of life from the source so that it does not lose its strength …. And therefore I want to tell you that I am always ready to offer you a fresh drink and strong food, that only you have to create the opportunity for Me yourselves by opening yourselves, by desiring to drink and eat. And truly, you will not go empty-handed, I will always be ready for you, for I will not let any opportunity pass by to address you, because this is My bliss to be in contact with My children on earth, which makes a supply of pure water of life possible …. I always want to make you happy, and you shall always feel this happiness by being certain that you are addressed by the father and that this address only ever demonstrates His greater than great love for you ….
Amen

The earth's last hour ….
B.D. 8071 from January 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 85
And the last hour of the world’s clock comes constantly closer …. These Words don’t mean much to you humans for you don’t believe that you are so close to the end …. And for your sake I cannot give you compelling evidence of this for your fear would render you incapable of fulfilling your earthly task. And thus you may or may not believe it, and your nature will be in accordance with this unbelief when the hour has come. For My plan has been determined for eternity, and profound love for My living creations made Me decide on this plan in all wisdom and will also determine Me to bring it to fruition because the time is fulfilled. My Nature is forever unchanging, and what I once foresaw as being necessary and successful for the beings which are still separated from Me I will also carry out and not allow people to make Me change My plan, since it was based on humanity’s will which I have eternally foreseen as no longer capable of change on this earth. I do not plan and act arbitrarily but immeasurable love and wisdom determine Me in everything that happens. Hence there is no reason why I should refrain from implementing My eternal plan of Salvation, for I can see every situation clearly and therefore know that nothing will be gained by changing or deferring My plan of Salvation.
You humans must bear in mind that you truly have had enough time at your disposal and yet those of you who do not believe in Me have not changed …..Even if you had far more time at your disposal you would still not change, hence a postponement of the end would be completely ineffective and pointless and would even put My Own at risk of falling prey to My adversary as well if I do not constrain him as it is intended …. You really ought to grant Me supreme wisdom and profoundest love, then you will no longer appeal to Me for preventing the end of this earth, then you will expect the coming time with complete trust in My love which shall protect everyone who wants to belong to Me and which will truly also use its might when My Own need help in any adversity. Even if you humans don’t want to believe that your time is nearing its end you should at least consider the possibility that you suddenly will be recalled from earth; for you know that you cannot prolong your own life and that you don’t know when your last day will come. Just consider that you cannot stop death and think what will happen to your soul, which is immortal, which is your real Self whose fate you decide yourself during your earthly life …. But you do not even believe in your soul’s continuing existence, and as a result of your unbelief you are in serious trouble for it will not stop Me from carrying out what is proclaimed in Word and Scripture …. For the time is fulfilled and everyday is still a blessing which you can use if only you are of good will.
However, don’t put your hope in false prophets who deny an end, who believe that they can change My mind, for they do not speak in My name but are the instruments of the one who wants to keep you in spiritual darkness and who therefore wants people to believe that they have unlimited time …. People would rather believe these false prophets and only ever seek fulfilment by enjoying a good life but fail to consider their souls whose existence they doubt or deny. And it will come to pass as it was foretold …. I Myself will come in the clouds in order to fetch My Own before the work of destruction of the old earth begins …. Not one stone will remain on the other, for the earth will have to be renewed. A new earth will arise, a paradise-like creation which will accept all immature spiritual beings again which were released at the destruction of the old earth and require new forms once more in order to continue to mature fully. And this new earth will be inhabited by those who had remained true to Me until the end …. For they will have reached the degree of maturity which allows them to enter the sphere of light and therefore they will also be allowed to inhabit the paradise which will truly be the same state of beatitude for them as if they had entered My spiritual kingdom without their physical shell. Yet they shall serve Me as the root of the new human race ….
A new period of Salvation can only start with spiritually mature human beings who will also help all still constrained spirits within their environment to speedily achieve maturity, who have such a heartfelt bond with Me that they will also teach love to their children and children’s children and bear witness to their God and Creator’s glory, and thus the release from the form can progress quickly because I will dwell amongst them in the living Jesus …. Because all people who will then inhabit the new earth will also entrust themselves to their divine Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ and in awareness of the original sin also consciously take the path to Him and therefore all resistance will have been broken, for then every person will consciously take the path of return to Me so that I Myself can be present to him since his great love for Me will allow it. Hence this will be the thousand-year kingdom in which the victory over Satan will be evident, for he cannot and will not oppress anyone anymore since all have entirely freed themselves from him and achieved the return to Me, leaving him unable to enter My kingdom until even this blissful time will gradually change again …. until people once again show an inclination towards matter and thereby release the chains of My adversary …. who is lord over matter …. and his influence markedly manifests itself again …. Yet before this time comes to pass many souls will have entered My kingdom in a completely redeemed state …. I will have been able to reap a good harvest, and then the battle with My adversary for the souls will start again …. Yet I will be victorious and time and again wrest souls from him and reduce his follows who represent his power. And time and again he will contribute towards the fact that the redemption of the fallen spiritual will continue. For I will never surrender what is Mine, even if it takes eternities …. one day it will return to Me and then remain united with Me forever ….
Amen

The near end demands increased vineyard work ….
B.D. 8072 from January 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 85
Every one of you is reminded to consider the gravity of the time …. No-one among you should take it easy, no-one should believe themselves to have much time left, each one of you who wants to do so shall still work diligently in My vineyard, for everyone’s work is needed since it can still result in the salvation of a soul if it is carried out with a loving will to help. I see the many unhappy souls which still linger so far away from Me because they live without faith and only make use of their life on earth in a purely material way …. And I will guide you to wherever I can still see an opportunity to win them over through My Word, that is, I will guide your thoughts and actions such that they will obtain possession of My gift of grace, of My Word, which flows to you from above. Rest assured that you can still greatly contribute towards the redemption of erring souls, you just should not let yourselves become discouraged; you must constantly work and I shall truly give you the strength so that you will be able to work according to My will. And you should also take note of the fact that you will be able to discover a greater will to live and increased self-indulgence the closer it gets to the end …. For people don’t believe in an end and thus will uninhibitedly satisfy their wishes and cravings. And it will be just like it was at the time of the Flood: they ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage …. they will live in an exuberant lust for life and the floodgates will be wide open for sin. For My adversary will have predominance and will certainly make use of it ….
And this is the time you are approaching, and everyone who fails to remember Me and does not appeal for My protection and help will be at risk. However, anyone who believes in Me will also turn to Me and he will not go astray …. And anyone who wants to be of service to Me may also experience My special grace …. yet he shall also pay attention to My instructions which will only ever consist of doing redeeming work. And you can do this constantly by referring the people around you to the coming event, by admonishing and warning them, by conveying My Word to them wherever possible. Every such activity will be blessed even if the success is not immediately obvious …. So don’t get discouraged if you come across all kinds of opposition; don’t stop in your willingness to be a helpful co-worker for Me; consider the great spiritual hardship and carry out redemption work by distributing My Gospel, by spreading My Word, which is greatly effective and can touch those souls which are not yet entirely hardened belong to My adversary. And very soon you will realise the truth of My Word, since you are approaching the end with giant strides …. For the time is fulfilled and it will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….
Amen

Granting prayers …. The right relationship of a child with its Father ….
B.D. 8073 from January 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 85
Oh, why don’t you recognise your Father’s love Who only wants the best for you …. Let yourselves be stopped on the path which leads into ruin, listen to the coaxing calls of your shepherd and turn around …. Return to Me and let yourselves be guided by Me, for if you stay away from Me you will be at the mercy of the enemy who ruthlessly pulls you into the abyss, who scatters My flock and with the greatest of ease leads it into his domain if it does not take refuge in Me, where he cannot follow. And you humans should know that he constantly lies in wait for you, that he will not miss any opportunity to pull you into his trap and that he is very successful because you rely on your own strength when, in fact, you can only be victorious with My support. And I see your fate, I see the danger you are in and even if I want to help you …. you don’t accept My help because you turn away from Me in view of the fact that your will is not directed towards Me as yet. Your thinking cannot forcibly be changed, a voluntary transformation towards Me has to take place, only then will I be able to take you by your hand, only then will you be able to receive My evident help. And in order to achieve this voluntary focus on Me I have to let adversity come upon you, and you will find it difficult again to believe in a God of love, but the adversity intends to encourage you to take the path to Me and to appeal to Me for help ….
All I want to achieve is for you to find the path to Me, that you listen to your shepherd’s coaxing call, that you take refuge in Him when you are in difficulty …. And you will truly find help; however, your call to Me must come from your heart …. You are often surprised at the fact that your prayers are not answered, yet you do not give account to yourselves as to what kind of prayer you send to Me …. If I don’t feel that your heartfelt prayer was sent to Me in spirit and in truth I do not hear you, for such prayers rise up to Me every day a thousand fold, but they are soullessly recited, they are formal prayers which I cannot grant because they don’t yet testify to the bond, to the relationship of an appealing child to its Father, Who then will certainly help with anything …. for nothing is impossible for Me …. If, however, a prayer lacks depth of feeling it will not reach My ear and then it will not be granted either …. not due to insufficient love on My part but due to insufficient lack of childlike trust in Me, which is the assured guarantee that every request will be granted …. If only you were able to believe in My inconceivable love for you …. which only ever wants to give itself away, which does not want to let you suffer. Yet your conduct forces Me to use means which make you question My love …. And yet, I only want to help you …. And blessed is he who lays claim to these final means of help, who still finds the path to Me and calls upon Me in his distress …. For he will truly receive My help and may visibly experience Me, and he will believe in Me and not go astray ….
Amen

Are you living in truth? ….
B.D. 8074 from January 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 85
The will to attain truth also guarantees its receipt …. however, such genuine will is rarely to be found …. People unreservedly accept whatever is presented to them as truth and accordingly adjust their outlook, i.e. depending on the information conveyed to them they either live within light or within darkness …. For only light can grant pure truth …. whereas error will always darken the spirit. This concerns spiritual knowledge and not earthly information which can be substantiated by evidence but which has no influence on the inner life of a human being who was given his earthly existence for the purpose of attaining full maturity of soul. Aspire only to pure truth and you will receive it with absolute certainty …. Yet what you are presently offered as truth …. who gives you the guarantee that it can lay claim to be the truth? …. Time and again you should ask yourselves this question. You should know that many schools of thought advocate their spiritual knowledge as truth, that all teach something different but that there can only be one truth ….
Thus you should not ‘unreservedly’ believe either one or the other but always turn to the highest Authority …. to the Eternal Truth Himself …. you should turn to the One Who is in charge of everything, Who has created everything, Who is supremely perfect, Who knows all and Who is Love Himself …. Who therefore also wants to give light to you, His living creations, because He loves you …. Who truly did not create the beings in spiritual darkness but did not prevent them from striving towards the darkness of their own accord by following the prince of darkness …. Lucifer …. into his realm. But He Who gave you life does not want you to remain in darkness; He wants to give you light which you can accept from His hand at all times, He is always willing to illuminate your thinking and provide you with clear insight regarding all questions you might have …. regarding the reason and purpose of your existence …. And if you are taught by the ‘Eternal Truth’ Itself It cannot impart anything but the purest truth to you, and then you will also be able to believe with conviction, you will know that you live in truth. You can be absolutely certain that the truth will be granted to you providing you earnestly desire it …. This is the first requirement, for if a person acknowledges God as the Eternal Truth he will also approach Him directly and appeal to Him for providing him with the truth …. Thus he consciously opens himself to the ray of light …. he establishes the bond which is the purpose and goal of earthly life …. which once was voluntarily interrupted and thus resulted in the being’s fall into the abyss, into darkness ….
The fact that the human being consciously opens himself to be illuminated by God’s love also means that his lightless state changes into a state of light …. and then the human being will receive the kind of knowledge which hitherto had been concealed from him …. You humans can be assured that this process is possible and does happen …. you may also believe that everyone is able to experience it …. but not everyone can meet the necessary requirements which, however, only limits the direct receipt of truth and not the indirect supply of pure truth …. For truly, everyone who desires the truth will receive it …. Yet everyone can also shape himself such that he can receive the pure truth directly by merely living a life of unselfish love whereby he awakens the spirit within himself which, being part of God, lies dormant in every person and also knows everything and thus can teach a person from within. Take the path to the higher Authority; don’t be satisfied with what people offer you even if they likewise believe it to represent the ‘truth’ …. There would not be so much darkness on earth if the truth had established itself amongst people. But it is obvious that dense darkness prevails or earth would be in a state of harmony and peace, when in fact the opposite is the case ….
Amen

Every being fell and ascends voluntarily ….
B.D. 8075 from January 8th 1962, taken from Book No. 85
I certainly knew the direction of your will when I created you, I knew that you would make the wrong decision of your own free will …. Yet this did not prevent Me from completing My plan of Creation because I also foresaw the final goal which will result in unlimited bliss for the created beings once again. Besides, those beings really fell entirely of their own free choice …. Since every being enjoyed an immense abundance of light it also knew what it was doing when it distanced itself from Me …. thus it was fully responsible and cannot blame any other being …. not even Lucifer, its maker. For I would never have allowed a being’s will to be determined …. it was able to freely want and act by itself and so, accordingly, was its guilt which kept it chained to the abyss. Yet on the other hand, each one of these fallen beings had the opportunity to shape itself into a godlike being again. For the process that took place from the moment it fell into the abyss was a plan of Salvation based on love and wisdom which made this retransformation into perfection possible. The beings were by no means lost to My adversary forever, although they had followed him voluntarily …. Yet I, too, was entitled to these beings because they had emerged from My strength of love …. And I will not allow anyone to deny Me this right. Nevertheless, neither I nor My adversary will ever force the being to make a decision for Me or for him, instead, it is left up to its free will to choose its lord. I know that the final decision will sooner or later be in My favour but the being itself determines the time it takes for this final decision. But the goal motivated Me not to prevent the beings’ fall …. which I certainly could have done but, in My wisdom, recognised as wrong in view of the goal, which only an act of complete freedom of will can achieve. The fact that I knew every individual being’s decision in advance did not influence the act of creation insofar as I might have created the beings differently according to their direction of will ….Supreme perfection adorned all My living creations given that nothing flawed, imperfect, could have emerged from Me. And their free will especially demonstrated their divinity, even if it was aimed in the wrong direction and thus the being changed within itself into the opposite …. But retransformation is such an immense task for the being, something so enormous, that the goal motivated Me to nurture it with greatest love, wisdom and might.
Reshaping the fallen beings into all kinds of creations was an act which gave Me much happiness, something which you humans cannot imagine …. It was My strength, which once inexorably poured out of the Primary Source, which now took on forms according to My will …. And since every created spiritual being was My once-emanated strength which did not fulfil its actual purpose, it was now diverted into those forms, giving them life and performing tasks …. because all strength coming forth from Me must become active according to My will …. However, the once fallen spirits are no longer self-aware, instead, disintegrated into innumerable tiny particles, they carry out a designated task in the law of compulsion …. They must yield to My will in order to attain the state in which self-awareness and free will can be returned to them …. This process of development of the once fallen spirits is My plan of Salvation, which was designed with profound love and unsurpassed wisdom and which, with certainty, will return all once fallen beings to Me in supreme perfection …. which can only be achieved by the free will of the being itself and not by virtue of My power. But the fact that everything has to take place according to My law of eternal order may also prolong the process of return indefinitely, for I cannot intervene against the being’s will when it has to pass its final test as a human …. I must let love and justice prevail and cannot bestow bliss upon a being which is still burdened by the guilt of the original sin …. For this reason I must demand the acknowledgement of Jesus and His act of Salvation on earth, and the person must take his original sin to Him under the cross and appeal to Him for forgiveness …. Then he will have passed the final test of will, he will have acknowledged Me Myself again in Jesus, in Whom I became a visible God for him and can now provide him with supreme bliss again in My kingdom, in which he will stay united with Me for all eternity ….
Amen

Blessing from the connection with God ….
B.D. 8076 from January 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 85
You will achieve great spiritual gain if you often unite with Me in thought, if you commune with Me and thus turn away or withdraw from the earthly material world which will only ever satisfy the body but not the soul. But the soul receives strength from Me, from every bond, because such a bond always means an opening of the heart for the illumination from Me. Understand that contact only ever has to be established in order to guarantee an overflow of strength …. and that every mental turning towards Me creates such a contact which is of greatest blessing for the soul. I cannot have a determining effect on your will because it is free; therefore you must seek the bond with Me of your own accord. But you will never regret it, for you will never go empty-handed, you will always receive strength and grace from Me because I can now illuminate you with My strength of love. The clearest form of this illumination is My word directly conveyed to you …. But your soul can also receive an unusual impetus for loving activity, for spiritual activity …. And this is always proof of My illumination of love, which you make possible yourselves through a conscious bond with Me …. But if you receive My word then the blessing is inconceivable, because not you alone but countless spiritual beings are co-recipients who can draw strength from the word and mature …. Every bond with Me is a source of inexhaustible strength for you …. Physically you don’t feel anything of it, and that sometimes makes you indifferent. But your soul will thank you if you repeatedly switch Me on in your thoughts …. it matures itself, and it will not remain powerless but spiritual strength will be at its disposal as often as it needs it …. You only ever need to turn to Me in thought, be it questions or requests which move you …. only ever come to Me with them and thereby allow Me to illuminate your open hearts, which results in every voluntary bond with Me …. And then you can also assume with certainty that you will be able to make spiritual progress …. because it cannot be otherwise when you receive strength from Me than that it helps you to ascend. And thus every work of love will also establish a direct bond with Me, because I Myself am love, because …. “whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him ….” In your earthly life alone it is a matter of restoring the bond with Me which you once voluntarily broke off …. You turned away from Me of your own free will, and you must turn to Me again of your own free will. Then you will have passed your test of will on earth for the purpose of which your existence as a human being was given to you …. The distance from Me still exists when you enter embodiment as a human being …. And only when you live a conscious life will you be able to reduce this distance, and blessed is he who kindles love within himself and thereby re-establishes the intimate bond with Me …. blessed is he who often raises his thoughts to Me and converses with Me …. Now I Myself can influence him again as before, I can illuminate him with My love, and his earthly life will now not be an idle one either, he will bring the soul to its aim, for it is no longer powerless as it was at the beginning of its human existence but it can constantly receive strength from Me through the bond with Me, and it will be able to mature and perfect itself while still on earth. The human being needs My strength …. Although vitality is at his disposal he needs spiritual strength to mature his soul, which he can only receive from Me if he opens his heart, i.e. if he consciously turns to Me in thought, in prayer and through loving activity …. And I will truly provide you abundantly with strength, for I want you to return to Me …. I want you to become perfect, and I long for you who once came forth from My love and who shall find their way home again into their father’s house.
Amen
