Prayer for strength …. Overcoming ego love ….

B.D. 8461 from April 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

I take all your weaknesses into account and will truly not ask for anything that is not possible for you to accomplish …. And so that you can remedy your state of weakness at any time you need only make use of the grace of prayer …. For as soon as you only pray for strength in order to be able to carry out your soul’s work you will receive it, for through prayer …. if it is directed towards Me in spirit and in truth …. the contact between you and Me is already established and the strength can overflow into you. Hence it only applies that you decide to pray, to send a heartfelt call to Me that I may take care of your weakness and help you to reach the goal which was set for you in earthly life. But in order to be able to pray sincerely you must also believe alive …. you must be convinced that your God and creator is also your f ather, Who does not think sparingly of any of His children when they turn to Him and request help because they feel too weak themselves to fulfil My will …. But My will is that the human being lives in love …. And because self-love is still stronger he has to fight against it and feels too weak to do so …. But if he asks for My help in complete trust then he will always think less of himself and the caring love for his neighbour will become stronger, and the more he now practices love the more he will also be happy himself, since love itself is also the strength which remedies his state of weakness. You can truly be confident that your prayer for strength will be answered, for if you come to Me of your own free will I will also reward you and give you what you ask for, and if you are first concerned about your soul’s salvation, that you thus request strength for your spiritual ascent and thus prove to Me that you strive for Me and My kingdom, then you will also receive everything else you earthly require ….. but whether I grant you earthly wishes, if only such move your heart or cause you to pray, depends on your maturity of soul or also on the danger such an earthly fulfilled wish can be for you. But My ear will always be open to you as soon as your call comes from your heart and you intimately unite with Me. This is why you need not fear a state of weakness, you need never think that I will set you unmanageable tasks, for I want nothing more than for you to practise love, and this can only be achieved through a battle against self-love, for which you therefore should and may request strength. For you are weak creatures due to your past fall into sin, where you gave away strength and light in the blindness of your thinking …. But if your thinking has only changed to such an extent that you turn it towards Me, then your state of weakness will also change and you will be amazed at what you are now able to do with My strength, which I irrevocably give to you as a result of heartfelt prayer in spirit and in truth. Therefore you need never be discouraged, even though time and again you become aware of your powerless state …. For He Himself is the source of strength from eternity, He also supplies all His creatures with it without limitation, only the creature has to open itself to receive it …. And this happens through the bond with Me in prayer …. This is why prayer is a grace of utmost importance, because you achieve everything with it …. Only the strength of your faith determines the degree of strength you receive, and this faith will become ever stronger if you only test it once, if you sincerely commend yourselves to Me and confidently wait for My help …. I truly leave no prayer unfulfilled because I Myself want your strength to increase, so that you will become powerful and light-filled beings again, as you were in the beginning …. Only I cannot provide you with strength against your will but you must come to Me yourselves and desire strength, you must open yourselves through heartfelt prayer and you will truly be allowed to receive everything you need in order to mature while still on earth …. And the body will also be considered so that it will serve the soul to mature, so that it will then use the strength to work with love and thus fulfil the purpose of earthly life. Don’t fear your weakness, for I will be able to be powerful in the weak if only he turns to Me Myself in his weakness and asks Me for strength and light and grace ….

Amen

God's protection in the fight against the enemy ….

B.D. 8462 from April 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Time and again you will experience evidence of My love so that your faith will always become more alive, so that you will be aware of My constant presence and thus I can also work in you. I constantly want to speak to you, even if your body is not aware of it, but your soul hears Me and constantly receives My illumination of love, it gains spiritual treasures and constantly matures further. And thus I reward your work for Me and My kingdom, which is extremely urgent because the time is coming to an end and I still want to find access everywhere in order to make Myself known to people. And I bless every activity which is done for Me, and therefore I also bring My own together so that one will support the other, so that everyone will give to the other what the latter does not possess …. that you will support each other, be it earthly or spiritually. For a time of battle will still come for all of you where you will have to prove yourselves but where you will also be able to do so, because you need only constantly call upon My strength which will also flow to you in abundance, for I will not abandon My own and guide them through to the end. And time and again I also draw your attention to the attacks of My adversary, the enemy of your souls, that you should be vigilant and not allow yourselves to be tricked, for he, too, will approach you under the mask of an angel of light, and there will be great confusion amongst My own who do not want to believe that the adversary fights with means which have the appearance of good and righteousness and which are lies and deception. Therefore be vigilant and persevere in prayer, hand yourselves over to Me in fullest trust that I will protect you from his attacks, and the more intimately you unite with Me the clearer you will also be able to see through the enemy and turn away from all those who are connected to him and approach you as his accomplices. I will always hold My hands over you and yet there will be battles for you, because you shall decide of your own free will for or against Me, for or against him …. But I know My own and will not allow you to be deceived by him …. I enlighten your thinking, I instil in you the feeling of resistance if he approaches you, under whatever mask it may be …. But you should always bear in mind that you are in a dark area, for this earthly world is his domain where he can and will work if he is not opposed …. And you can only ever ask for light and through your will cause light to be supplied to you, and then you truly need not fear the prince of darkness, for where there is light he does not stay, he flees the light because he flees Me, Who is the light of eternity. Nevertheless, you must always be vigilant, for you yourselves are not yet perfect, and wherever you give the slightest impetus he will use the opportunity and try to confuse you, to agitate you, to become impatient and to push your thoughts away from Me. And therefore it is a constant battle for you against his temptations, but for which you only ever need to appeal for My support and you will emerge victorious, he will not be able to harm your soul …. And I promise My protection to all of you who want to belong to Me, whom I therefore count as My own because you surrender your will to Me, because I possess it and therefore will no longer leave you to My adversary …. And everything will also be bearable for you, even though difficult times will come upon you, for I have also promised you My protection, My help and guidance for these times. And you can let everything approach you without worry, it will always happen as I have determined in My plan of salvation and as it will be beneficial for those who belong to Me …. As soon as you completely hand yourselves over to Me I will take care of you, earthly and spiritually, and I will guide you through all hardships of life without harm …. My strength will flow through you no matter what approaches you, for you can always feel safe in Me, like children you can always trustingly come to the Father and He will lovingly take care of you, He will always be there for you and guide you through to the end ….

Amen

Jesus suffered immeasurably ….

B.D. 8463 from April 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

You should always remember how much the man Jesus has suffered on your behalf because His love wanted to help you free yourselves from Satan’s bondage. He has taken upon Himself all your guilt and suffered enormous pain as atonement for this guilt and ultimately paid for this guilt with the most excruciating death on the cross. And although you are repeatedly confronted with the magnitude of His sacrifice and the extent of His suffering it is emotionally impossible for you to empathise with this pain. And yet you should remember it often in order to understand His immense love for you which was the reason for His act of Salvation. His soul was pure and immaculate, it came from the highest realms of light into the dark, sinful world, it came to a human race which was sinful because of its former apostasy from God and which continued to sin during its earthly life because it was influenced by God’s adversary, who constantly provoked it into committing ac28.12.1962ts of unkindness and whom it could not resist because it was completely weakened by the burden of the original sin …. The people themselves lived in dense darkness and therefore could not know their soul’s enemy, and thus they were in a state of acute spiritual distress and without help would never have been able to free themselves from it either. And Jesus took mercy on this human race, they were His fallen brothers who would have remained eternally separated from the Father and thus He wanted to help them, He wanted to show them the way of return to the Father’s house again. Jesus voluntarily offered Himself for an act of atonement, the magnitude of which cannot be understood by you humans ….

He suffered physically and psychologically because whatever could be done to torment Him, whatever could be done to cause Him suffering and pain, was done by people who were followers of the adversary who sought to prevent the act of Salvation with all his might …. But what the soul had to endure in the region of the lord of darkness at the hands of his servants and accomplices is inconceivable to you humans. Because it came from a divine, bright realm and descended into hell, into the dark region of God’s adversary, where the soul now had to suffer intense torment since all sinfulness and darkness affected it painfully, because everything unspiritual clung to it and attempted to pull it into the bottomless abyss …. But it resisted, it used the strength out of God …. Because Jesus’ soul was filled with love and this love was its strength which enabled it to accomplish the act of Salvation …. Jesus saw people’s wretched condition on earth, He saw their weakness and their blindness, and with His love He began to fight His adversary who controlled humanity, who had pushed them into disaster and sought to prevent them from breaking away (from it). He (Jesus) opposed his hate and evil actions with His love …. And this love was stronger than hate, it defeated the opponent …. Love sacrificed itself for other people, and with His death on the cross love had purchased humanity’s freedom from bondage.

(10.4.1963) The price had been very high, He had paid the ultimate for people’s guilt of sin, He had sacrificed Himself …. He had proven to the adversary that love is stronger than hate, that love can accomplish everything, that it does not even fear death if it wanted to give freedom to the enslaved by this means, if it wanted to lead the dead back to life again, if it could snatch the captivated from its dungeon master …. No pain and torture was too much for the man Jesus to abandon the act of Salvation because His mercy for the sinful humanity was so profound that He did not fear anything any longer and obediently and willingly accepted death, that prior to this He suffered excruciating pains for the sake of humanity’s sins …. And when you humans remember this then you must rush to Him with intense love, you must hasten under the cross in order to belong to those for whom the human being Jesus has shed His blood …. You have to be so imbued with the strength of His love that you respond to it from the bottom of your hearts and completely give yourselves to Him, to eternally become and remain His Own …. You cannot contemplate His suffering and death often enough, and then you will constantly draw closer to Him when you consider that every pain He had taken upon Himself should have been suffered by you in order to make

Amends for the immense guilt …. and that He has redeemed you from it …. This was only possible due to the love within Him …. And this love was God Himself, Which totally permeated the man Jesus and gave Him the strength to complete the act of mercy and defeat the adversary, because love is the strength to which even God’s adversary had to succumb …. so that he has to let go of those souls who are walking the path to the cross, who acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Divine Saviour and who pray to Him for forgiveness of the guilt ….

Amen

God's instruction to educate fellow human beings about Jesus ….

B.D. 8464 from April 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Wherever the opportunity of mentioning the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ presents itself to you, you should speak of Him and emphasise His great significance for every single person …. Where possible, you should motivate people to remember Him, for everyone knows Him, everyone has heard of Him, yet only a few have a living faith in Him, and only they can partake in the blessings of the act of Salvation …. But they are precisely the ones who should try to invigorate their fellow human beings’ faith in Him, Who alone can save them from spiritual adversity, which will only be perceptively felt after their body dies. You should not fail to make use of every avenue in order to steer the conversation towards Jesus Christ, even if the other person feels uncomfortable about it …. you should simply ask him what Jesus means to him, whether he has already thought about the doctrines regarding Him and what conclusion he has come to …. Even if they only want accept Him as a human being, Who advocated His own philosophies of life and sacrificed His life for these opinions, you can nevertheless explain to them that He was certainly a man who lived among people, but that He had to fulfil a spiritual mission and that every person can derive benefit from that mission if he wants …. Indeed, most people only regard their life on earth as an end in itself and don’t believe in their souls’ continuation of life …. Nevertheless, you should also try to unsettle these opinions and truly, I will place the right Words into your mouth if all you endeavour to do is kindle a small light for these blind people, if you want to help them fulfil their purpose of earthly life. If you are imbued by the knowledge which corresponds to the truth, you will time and again feel impelled to convey this knowledge to people and then opportunities will arise where it is possible for you, and I truly bless everyone who tries to persuade his fellow human beings to believe in Jesus, because Jesus must not be by-passed if the soul wants to attain bliss one day when it enters the spiritual realm after physical death. This faith in the soul’s continuation of life is likewise lacking in most people, consequently, it is difficult to educate them, yet no stone shall be left unturned, for the misery such souls are approaching is indescribable and if you can help them spare such wretchedness they will be eternally grateful to you, for one day every soul will gain realisation, even if it still takes eternities ….

Everything relating to Jesus, His life on earth, His crucifixion and His ascension, is a myth for people which they certainly know, but cannot believe that these events, which are hugely significant for each individual still unenlightened soul, to be true. However, you humans live on this earth to attain the goal of releasing yourselves from every form and entering the kingdom of the beyond in a spiritualised state. But to do so it is crucial that you find redemption through Jesus Christ, that He helps you attain freedom, because only He can loosen the chains which still tie you to God’s adversary. He alone can help you attain eternal life, and thus you must acknowledge Him and hand yourselves over to Him so that He will take your immense guilt upon Himself and so that He might have given His blood for you as well, which He shed on the cross for all people, past, present and future. If you accept Him and appeal to Him to take the immense guilt from you, you will also suddenly be able to think differently …. many things you previously were unable to understand will become comprehensible to you. For this reason you should at least accept information about Him when it is conveyed to you, for no-one shall go astray, but it is up to the human being himself whether he wants to let himself be saved …. Let yourselves be educated about Jesus and His act of Salvation, about the spiritual reason for it and about your past original sin, which you cannot atone for yourselves but can only be released from through the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ …. And don’t walk past Him in earthly life, try to muster the understanding for the kind of mission He had to fulfil on earth and believe that every person must take the path to the cross …. believe that every human being must carry his guilt of sin under the cross, which means, that he must acknowledge Jesus Christ as Son of God and Redeemer of the world, in Whom God Himself became human in order to redeem humanity from sin and death ….

Amen

Why is the information about the process of return not known? ….

B.D. 8465 from April 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

If only you would always take the path to Me, you would be helped in every adversity and distress, be it spiritually or earthly …. you would be looked after such that it will benefit your soul, for only pure truth is beneficial. I have not imposed any restrictions on you, and if you want to increase your spiritual knowledge I shall always be willing to instruct you.

You want to know why information is revealed to you now of which you have had little or no knowledge so far …. I want to give you the reason for this: time and again there have been people whose spiritual state enabled them to be introduced to the most profound mysteries of creation, and who thus also knew about the very first beginning of creation, about the apostasy from Me and about My eternal plan of Salvation. But such knowledge could never be passed on to other people as long as their state of maturity was lower than those who had received it from Me …. Its profundity would never have been understood, and had people merely adopted it literally their intellect would have caused them to reject it as the fantasy of a dreamer, since an unenlightened spirit would not have been able to grasp it …. And so, at the time of My life on earth people still had a very low spiritual level too, because they were still completely under the control of My adversary, who had been the cause of the immense spiritual darkness ….

Consequently, there were only a few people whom I could instruct about such mysteries of creation, and even they had difficulty in understanding it because they were still burdened by the original sin and this meant that their power of perception was inadequate. They certainly questioned Me time and again but I could only refer them to the enlightenment of their spirit after My crucifixion, after the act of Salvation, which lifted the dense darkness from those who loved Me. Hence they gradually came to understand what I had taught them but they would not have been able to pass the knowledge on for the very reason that their fellow human beings, whose spirit was not yet awakened, would not have been able to comprehend it …. Since this knowledge …. i.e. the enlightened spirit …. was only the result of a right way of life, of the fulfilment of the commandments of love which I had taught people as a matter of priority, people first had to be motivated to fulfil My commandments of love ….

Furthermore, you should also know that I gave My disciples the task of writing everything down for future generations …. For even they were still unable to understand the most profound wisdom and therefore only adhered to My instruction to proclaim what I had said to the people who followed Me, who regarded Me as a prophet and expected miracles or the healing of their every affliction from Me, who drew comfort and strength from My Words, and whose faith in the one and only God I was able to strengthen because they were of good will …. But there were only a few who wanted to learn more, and they were more motivated by their intellect than their heart to ask about things which only I was able to answer …. They certainly accepted the explanations but they did not leave a deeper impression on them apart from a few whose hearts were very willing to love and who recognised Me as their God and Creator ….

The fact that they were initiated by Me and very happy about such knowledge need not be mentioned, but it always just remained pleasing spiritual knowledge for those followers whom I instructed Myself, however, it did not get passed on to their fellow human beings or their descendants, since they were unable to understand it and therefore such discussions were not mentioned by My disciples either. Besides, such knowledge about the very first beginning and ultimate goal of all creation was not necessary for people and indeed not always beneficial. Had they been informed of it as dogma it could have, to some extent, compelled people’s will, who …. if they had faith …. would have considered their development until the human stage with a shudder and would have felt unfree or unable to muster love for a God Whose plan would have been totally incomprehensible to them …. But where it was possible for Me to transmit divine revelations to earth this knowledge was given to people as well ….

And the proximity of the end explains why clear information about this is always given, because people cannot be reminded strongly enough of their responsibility now, for the act of a new banishment is at stake, which only takes place at the end of a period of Salvation and is extremely significant for all ascending souls …. Prior to this, souls who had failed to reach maturity on earth still had the opportunity in the kingdom of the beyond to reach full maturity …. But at the end of a period of Salvation this opportunity no longer exists, then the most appalling event occurs whereby the souls will be disintegrated into individual particles and be banished into hard matter again …. What would now be more reasonable than Me informing you humans about the fate that awaits you if you fail?

You are also able to pass your test of earthly life without any knowledge if you lived with love …. But when love has grown cold, so that failure is inevitable and the souls’ fate is sealed with a new banishment, then I will use any means beforehand in order to disturb humanity. Then I will also make sure that people receive the information about the great plan of creation …. even though the success is nothing more than that people will listen with incredulity to such information and far more will reject than accept it. But I also know the will of individual people, and therefore I also know who will not reject this knowledge and who will draw the consequences from it …. and truly, they will receive it from Me, just as I have always guided those into truth, into profound spiritual knowledge, who desired it in their hearts and through a life of love were also receptive to it …. For you should also recognise a God of love, wisdom and might in every happening that you experience, and you should trust Me and always call upon My help, because the hardship will still be considerable before the end, yet anyone who perseveres will be blessed ….

Amen

What is prayer in spirit and in truth? ….

B.D. 8466 from April 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

This is your actual task, that you enlighten those who are mistaken, that you give truthful answers to those who ask questions and that you thus bring light into the darkness …. For humanity walks along in darkness, their thinking is misguided and therefore they do not recognize the right path which leads to Me …. to the final perfection. Truth alone can bring about this perfection, but never error or lies …. And if you, who want to serve Me, want to give clarification you must first receive it from Me yourselves, because only I can convey truthful knowledge to you …. And therefore you should come to Me with all questions which move you, so that I will answer you and thus train you to become teachers who will now work beneficially amongst their fellow human beings …. When you pray to Me it is only important that you intimately unite with Me, that you don’t call upon a distant God like a being Who is inaccessible to you, Who certainly has great power and therefore you hope for help from Him …. from Whom, however, you consider yourselves far away but would like to make use of His power because you are in need …. Such a call gives Me no pleasure …. But if you see your Father in Me, Who lovingly cares for all His children …. if you now converse with your Father in all humility, if you trustingly present your adversity to Me and thus have entered into an intimate bond with Me through your trust, then this is a prayer which I hear because it is a living call from the child to the Father …. Such a prayer has nothing veiled, nothing secret, it is also nothing formal, but something deeply felt in the heart …. Hence it is a true prayer where the child’s heart exposes everything before the Father, where it spreads itself out before Him and confesses its weakness and helplessness and is therefore also valued by Me as such, for it demonstrates profound humility and love for Me and I can now pour out the cornucopia of My grace in abundance. Then you will pray in spirit and in truth, and then you can also safely hope for fulfilment, for as soon as you are devoted to Me with love you will only address such requests to Me whose fulfilment will not harm your soul, because your love for Me enlightens your spirit and your thoughts are already far more turned towards the spiritual kingdom than towards the world and its illusory goods …. But now consider the nature of the prayers which are mostly uttered by people. Consider that a true prayer in spirit and in truth requires a ‘withdrawal into the quiet chamber’, by which I only want to be understood that at the moment of prayer the human being must mentally withdraw into the chamber of his heart. And no matter how short the prayer is, if it is only a call to Me in adversity …. But this call has to come from the heart, and then a prayer truly needs no learned words or a certain form …. for I understand the babbling of a child and don’t want to hear any high-sounding words which have already been born again by the intellect or which are taken over by other people …. This is why a mass prayer can only have a beneficial effect if everyone prays silently in his heart, even if everyone has the same request, for as soon as masses say the same prayer aloud they have to use a specific form, and then it will not be possible to have a confidential dialogue with Me which alone guarantees the fulfilment of the request. You humans can achieve a lot through right prayer but for the most part you don’t pray right …. As soon as you believe in a God your heart shall impel you to unite with this God in thought, and then you will speak to Him like a child speaks to its father, and then you will pray correctly, you will pray in spirit and in truth, whereas formal and general prayers usually lack the intimate, confidential bond with Me, which, however, is entirely human, because external impressions always have an effect and therefore the withdrawal into silence is required. But you cannot expect any particular blessing for the souls from loudly spoken formal prayers, from general prayer actions, except for those people who are able to completely close themselves inwardly and pray in their heart …. who don’t listen to what their fellow human beings say aloud …. I only want to explain all this to you so that you will understand why so many prayers remain unanswered and why I require of you a prayer in spirit and ‘in truth’ …. Only the core is ever valid before Me, not the outer shell, and I see into a person’s heart and cannot be deceived by lip prayers or daily habits which are performed soullessly. However, if a person calls loudly to Me in his heart’s distress, then such a call is also proof that it is not just a form but deeply felt internally, and this is how it is also valued by Me, Who always endeavours to help in order to prove the Father’s love to My children …. because I also want to win your love. And therefore you should always give account to yourselves when you pray whether you first establish a child’s heartfelt relationship with the Father or whether you are satisfied with a habit, with a form, with prayers which cannot reach My ear. For prayer to Me is also an immense gift of grace, because you can thus establish the bond with Me at any time and thereby also provide the evidence of having passed the test of will, which is the purpose and goal of your earthly life ….

Amen

Where do the temptations go out? ….

B.D. 8467 from April 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Much is offered to you because My love for you is boundless, and do you believe that I will leave a request unfulfilled which is for the benefit of the soul? But the soul will derive the greatest advantage if I instruct it in truth, for then it will learn to recognize and love Me, and then its goal is also guaranteed, that it will unite with Me through love …. You humans shall still experience much through My teachings, you shall penetrate ever deeper into an area which can only be made accessible to you spiritually, and therefore I will reveal Myself to you time and again, through My spirit I will impart knowledge to you which shall make you happy and help you achieve perfection. And it is important that you know how you are made up and why you are made up the way you are as a human being on earth. You have to pass your last test of will on this earth, it is a matter of accomplishing the reshaping to your original being, which means as much as that you change everything negative, which still clings to you, into the positive and become the perfect beings again, which you were in the beginning. Your imperfection consists in the fact that your free will, which was able to develop in all directions, turned around, that it strived for the opposite of what corresponded to My will, that is, it was lawful order. It stepped out of the law of eternal order, it misused its will and thus turned its nature into the opposite …. But now, through the endlessly long process of return, it has again become able to make a decision of its will again …. which it could not do before in the state of bound will …. This process has already been explained to you in detail …. But now, at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being, the being is still far from perfection because it has many negative things in itself which it first has to overcome in earthly life …. For the being is still entirely under the power of the one who caused its fall into the abyss …. And since the beings once voluntarily followed him to the abyss, he also still has a right to the souls …. But I also have a right, because all My creatures came forth from My strength …. Now the soul itself has to make the decision to which lord it wants to submit itself, and both I and My adversary fight for its will during earthly life …. Thus My adversary also has the right to influence the human being’s will, and therefore he also does everything in order to win him over …. Since the human being …. the embodied once fallen creature …. has much negativity in him, i.e. characteristics and urges which mark his affiliation to My adversary, the human being must now wage a battle against these characteristics and urges …. He must overcome himself, reject everything negative and change his nature again by adopting divine qualities …. by finding a just measure for all instincts which are naturally inherent in him as a human being, so that he can test himself and wage a battle against himself, i.e. against the thoughts, actions and senses of the human being which have been brought into disorder by the adversary …. and which, as a result of the former fall, have completely perverted the nature, i.e. violate the law of eternal order …. The battle for the human being’s will between Me and My adversary constantly takes place during earthly life, and the adversary will use his arts of seduction at all times, he will always encourage the human being to act contrary to law, thus to violate My order of eternity …. And time and again the human being will have to muster the will himself to resist these temptations but will always receive the strength to do so if only he asks Me for it …. The temptations always originate from My adversary, whereas I only want to be called upon to protect the human being from falling. Whatever it may be …. in which way the human being is tempted …. it is always the work of My adversary. Such temptation never emanates from Me, but I Am always willing to help you humans to resist temptation. It is a matter of you humans detaching yourselves from My adversary who fights for you by repeatedly trying to tie you down and bring you down …. I will never lead you into such temptations in the same way but seek to deliver you from them …. But I cannot dispute My adversary’s right to fight for you who have become his kin in free will …. And likewise, I did not place these wrong urges in you, so that they could pull you down by natural law …. but your free will must set the limits itself, you must find the just measure, then you will never sin …. My adversary, however, will always try to induce you to transgress the just measure …. thus to turn everything good into the opposite, to abuse all natural law instincts within you and thereby drive you to sin …. He will never cease to tempt you until the end of your life, but you can overcome him with My grace and My strength …. However, the fact that I allow all these temptations does not mean that I Myself “lead you into temptation” …. but I lead you out of temptation and deliver you from all evil …. if you ask Me for it …. Nothing negative can be claimed by Me, I Myself cannot have put anything negative into a human being either, but I can only ever create perfection, which, however, the being itself can turn into the opposite in free will through the influence of My adversary …. But in earthly life you should test yourselves as to whether you are willing to fight against everything ungodly in you, and I will help you to do so in every way …. For I want you to reach perfection, but I Myself will not increase your spiritual adversity by adding to your possibilities of defeat …. For I love you and want to make you blissfully happy forever ….

Amen

Only Jesus can strengthen the will ….

B.D. 8468 from April 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

The fact that I died for you humans on the cross was an act of grace of such profound significance that it cannot be held up to you often enough, so that you will also make use of the grace which the man Jesus acquired for you humans through this death. For as soon as you disregard Jesus Christ’s act of salvation there will be no redemption for you, and you will remain bound in the power of the one who is and will remain your enemy, who never wants your beatitude but will only plunge you into ruin since he lacks all love. You yourselves are also devoid of all love due to your past apostasy from Me, for you rejected My illumination of love …. And as long as you are still in the power of the adversary who caused your apostasy from Me you will never be able to receive My strength of love either, for this requires your own voluntary willingness to let yourselves be illuminated, and you will never be able to muster this will, for your will is extremely weakened. Through My death on the cross I acquired for you the blessings of a strengthened will, thus it will no longer be impossible for you to release yourselves from the adversary’s power if you seriously want to do so and turn to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ to release you, to redeem you from sin and death. Apart from Him there is no-one who could help you in your adversity, for Jesus is your redeemer, He is your God and Father, it is He to Whom you owe your existence, for Jesus and I …. your father from eternity …. are one. I Myself offered the act of salvation for you humans in the form of the man Jesus, so that the act of atonement visibly took place for you humans and you can now also consciously carry your guilt of sin to the cross, for you can only be redeemed from your original guilt if you want this yourselves …. when you realise that you have sinned against Me yourselves and you now ask Me Myself in Jesus to forgive your guilt …. What was impossible for you before My crucifixion, that you were able to muster the strength to fight the enemy of your souls, became possible for you after My crucifixion, because then you had an abundance of grace at your disposal which you only needed to use by turning to Jesus of your own free will and asking Him that He may also have died for you …. And truly, your guilt will be redeemed for the sake of Jesus’ blood. Yet you can never be released from your past guilt if you pass by Jesus Christ, then you will irrevocably continue to carry your burden which presses you to the ground, and you will remain a slave to My adversary, you will continue to live in darkness and weakness, you will be wretched beings who walk the earth without any spiritual success, whom My adversary does not release and who alone cannot muster the strength to detach themselves from him …. If only you humans could grasp the significance of Jesus and His mission on earth, and if only you could muster the will to turn to Him for help in your adversity, for only if you acknowledge Him as the Son of God, in Whom I Myself became human and Who died on the cross for you and your sins …. will He strengthen your will, and then you will also have the strength to detach yourselves from the enemy of your souls. But because you don’t know about the correlations, about the cause of your existence as a human being, about your actual relationship with Me, your God and Creator, you don’t seriously think about what Jesus’ earthly life and His suffering mission was based on, and you don’t consciously make use of the blessings which, however, are at your unlimited disposal if only you want to accept and make use of them …. Just as once Lucifer …. the first-fallen angel spirit …. plunged you into the abyss, so now Jesus, the Son of God, will help you up out of this abyss again …. but you were not forced to fall then, and so you are not forced to return now either …. Your free will has to prompt you to turn to Jesus, and then you will truly feel His strength and power, then you will be released from My adversary and become full of light and strength again yourselves, because the divine redeemer will give you light and strength as soon as you acknowledge Him and thus Me Myself in Him …. He redeemed the great original sin of all fallen spiritual beings and has now opened the door for them again into My kingdom, which they would not have been able to enter in their state burdened by the original sin …. He paved the way for all beings to return home to their Father’s house. Yet no being is forced to take this path, instead, he (the human being) has to follow Jesus voluntarily, he has to want to be redeemed through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross and therefore also voluntarily renounce My adversary …. And what he cannot achieve on his own he will be able to do with the help of the divine redeemer, Who has paid the ransom for all souls, so that the adversary must release every soul which wants to be released from him …. And in order for it to want to do so, the man Jesus died the most bitter death on the cross, He offered Himself as a sacrifice and bought all souls free with His blood …. This work of mercy is so immeasurably significant and yet many people pass it by and do not avail themselves of the most delicious thing that can be offered to them on this earth …. They persist in sin and refuse to acknowledge Jesus, and thus they do not acknowledge Me Myself either, Who died for you in Jesus on the cross in order to redeem you ….

Amen

Resurrection of Jesus ….

B.D. 8469 from April 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Death has been overcome, and so you humans will also rise after the death of the body, and your soul will live forever. For I have given you the evidence that I rose from death on the third day because I overcame the one who brought death into the world. I Myself have promised you eternal life if only you believe in Me, for without redemption through Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself died on the cross, your soul cannot awaken from the state of death …. For so long My adversary still has control over you, who does not want to let the soul come to life …. And even if you humans doubt that I truly rose from the grave you can still attain life if only you abide by the teaching I gave you on earth …. if you live in love, for then you will awaken from the night of the grave, then the light of day will shine for you, then your soul will also have attained eternal life. But I had previously informed people that I would rise from the dead on the third day, and My promise was fulfilled, and numerous people witnessed that the grave was empty, that nothing had remained in it …. I only wanted to provide you humans with the evidence that you can also spiritualise your body if you follow Me, that there need no longer be any death for your body either when all its substances have spiritualised themselves and joined the soul, and that you can then truly enter the kingdom of the beyond alive, as My ascension has also proven to you. The fact that after a long time you are no longer able to believe what happened at the time of My life on earth and when this life on earth ended for Me is due to the state of unkindness in which humanity now finds itself …. But anyone who lives in love also knows of his own accord that everything happened as it was conveyed to you, for he is told by his spirit which introduces him to the truth …. And nothing will be able to dissuade a person who has been taught from within from believing in Jesus’ suffering and death, in His resurrection and ascension. And this person will have no fear of bodily death, for he knows that he cannot perish but will only now return to his true home where he will live for eternity …. I have overcome death, for without My act of salvation you humans would have remained in the state of death forever, because you would have remained eternally distant from Me and thus My love and vitality would not be able to shine through you …. But I gave My life in order to purchase life for you in return, so that you need never fear death again but will enter eternal life when your soul leaves the earthly body …. Yes, you too can take your body with you into the kingdom of light and bliss if you spiritualise it in earthly life, if you dissolve all dross from the soul through love, if you can also determine the body to completely hand itself over to Me and to live in My following …. Soul and body can rise from the dead, as I have proven to you, yet you will only rarely succeed in this total spiritualisation in earthly life …. But that it is possible is why I died on the cross and abolished all horrors of death for all who acknowledge Me as the Son of God and redeemer of the world, in Whom I Myself descended to earth to suffer and die for the whole of humanity …. And this act of salvation has found its conclusion with the resurrection, which was intended to be the evidence of the truth of My teaching for all people, for I predicted My resurrection on the third day. The fact that there is no longer any concrete evidence for it has to be in order not to curtail people’s freedom of faith and will, but they can create the evidence for themselves at any time if they live according to My teaching, thereby awakening their spirit and now receive teachings through this spirit which concern that act of salvation until the end, until the resurrection on the third day. Human beings will not be able to provide you with proofs, but the spirit within you …. which is of divine proportion …. can introduce you to the truth, and then you will be able to understand and believe everything which otherwise seems unacceptable to you. But as soon as you can believe in My resurrection you will also know that your life does not end with the death of your body but that your soul will be resurrected to a life which will last forever ….

Amen

Clarification about intercession ….

B.D. 8470 from April 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

The real purpose of your earthly existence has been presented to you so often already …. that it is just a matter of your relationship with Me, which you once voluntarily severed because you did not want to acknowledge Me …. For you could not see Me, and therefore you accepted the one whom you could see as your lord and creator: My first created spirit of light, Lucifer …. During your present existence you need only pursue one goal: to restore the relationship with Me and thereby acknowledge Me as your God and Creator again, from Whose love you once came forth …. No other being can establish this relationship for you, it can only be done by you and requires your will, which is and will remain free, even if you delay your decision for the time being. You cannot avoid taking it if one day you are to reach the goal of becoming blessed, as you were in the beginning …. And this final union can only be brought about by love, thus you have to be willing to live with love, nevertheless, you will never be forced to do so …. But due to the original sin your will is very weak and therefore needs strengthening …. And this strengthening of will is the great blessing which the human being Jesus has acquired for you through His act of Salvation …. Consequently, if you are able to give yourselves to Him and ask Him to strengthen your will, you shall certainly arrive at your objective …. However, your will can never be decisively influenced by the kingdom of light, only your fellow human beings are able to render kind-hearted intercession for you, if you yourselves are too weak to walk the path to the cross …. Then the love of a fellow human being can pray for you, and I will truly listen to such a prayer by giving strength to the person for whom it was requested by love. For love is strength, and if you consciously give it to a spiritually troubled human being it will affect him as strength, unless he then takes the path to the cross himself or acts with love himself and becomes enlightened …. Loving intercession for other people is at all times an aid to save erring souls, which should not be underestimated ….

But it is a completely misguided idea to ask beings of light for intercession …. Consider that these beings are utterly permeated by love which is, in fact, intended for all wretched beings …. Consider that no being would be exempt from their willingness to help and that no unredeemed being could exist if the beings of light were not constrained by divine laws which they cannot infringe against. These beings, however, know about a person’s last goal on earth …. they know, that the acknowledgment of their God and Creator can only take place in free will, and that this acknowledgment is the passed test of will, which is the purpose of a person’s life on earth …. They know that the bond with Me has to be re-established, which every being has to strive for and accomplish for himself in all freedom and without any coercion …. Yet the light beings’ love is so profound that it would truly suffice to instantly transform every being, precisely because it is strength that never fails to have its desired effect …. Thus this love has to be limited by Me, i.e., even the beings of light have to be subject to laws which they, however, respect because they are completely merged with My will, and therefore also know what helps the human being to achieve the last goal, the union with Me …. However, the beings of light can use mental influence and motivate other people to intercede, and this certainly will not fail to have an effect. I want people to take the direct path to Me and not try to reach the goal in a round-about way which is unreachable that way …. and you would understand that if you knew about the highly developed degree of love of all beings of light …. If you approach these beings for intercession …. what are they to request of Me on your behalf? …. That I should act in opposition to My law of order and release people from the conditions which facilitate a return to Me, a change of their nature? Anyone who genuinely appeals to the beings of light for help will also be led into the right way of thinking by them, and then he will do whatever corresponds to My will, since the beings of light are inspired by the same will as Mine and therefore merely try to influence you accordingly. But then you will also reach your goal on earth with certainty, for they only ever endeavour to guide you to Me, to remind you of Jesus’ act of Salvation …. They will show you the path you are supposed to walk, but they cannot walk it for you ….

And now consider that a prayer to Me already signifies the bond with Me, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life …. that you, …. if you pray to the beings of light for intercession …. thus bypass a direct relationship with Me …. And what outcome do you expect from the ‘intercession’ these beings should request of Me? Time and again I tell you that you can certainly ask the beings of light for help if you have already proven your will to Me …. and they will help you, because they are only the administrators of My will and therein experience their beatification …. But they will never be able to establish your bond with Me on your behalf through intercession, because they are always connected with Me and will want you to also establish this bond with Me voluntarily, since this is your true purpose of earthly life …. As long as you still appeal to the beings of light for ‘intercession’ your thoughts are not yet guided by these beings of light, but My adversary attempts to influence you such that you will only lengthen the path to Me, because he wants to prevent your final return to Me …. Intercession can only be made by people for each other or for still immature souls in the kingdom of the beyond. Then the requesting person’s degree of love affects the person prayed for as strength, and because then I will, for the sake of unselfish love, give strength to those who need it and who are lovingly remembered by others …. But the concept of ‘intercession’ does not apply to the kingdom of light. The thoughts of people who rely on intercession are misguided and only prolong their return to Me, which is My adversary’s sole intention through this misguided teaching ….

Amen

Attainment of sonship with God requires detachment from the world ….

B.D. 8471 from April 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

You can achieve everything if only you muster the serious will, for then you will also be able to receive unmeasured strength to carry out what you want …. Yet precisely your will is weak and the world still holds you too captive to be willing to surrender everything …. But if you want to attain childship to God while still on earth, this requires a complete overcoming of the world …. You must have completely detached yourselves from matter, which, however, does not mean that you should withdraw into the desert as a hermit …. You can also stand in the midst of the world and yet have completely overcome matter, for to deal with it does not mean to desire it. For the earthly fulfilment of duty need not be an obstacle to the soul’s ascent if it is a service to fellow human beings and if this service is not carried out solely for the sake of earthly gain, that is, if the human being’s activity is motivated by the acquisition of material goods. Even a person’s possessions are no obstacle to complete spiritualisation if they are used again for serving, unselfish neighbourly love …. But if self-love is satisfied first, then the path to spiritualisation is still very long, then the striving for the highest goal is not yet serious and thus the will is too weak, which also results in a lack of strength …. It is therefore up to you humans yourselves whether you still reach the goal in a short time …. You can have a whole life at your disposal and not get any further …. But you can also complete yourselves in a very short time if this is your serious endeavour, because then you will truly not lack strength. And as soon as you are given knowledge which also assures you an abundance of blessings you can now also consciously strive for perfection, which, however, always requires you to detach yourselves from the world. The extent to which you are willing to do so is also determined by your ability, for the serious will assures you the supply of strength. You humans, however, still expect too much from your life, you still harbour various desires and are not willing to relinquish them …. Nor do you trust Me unreservedly as yet, otherwise you would not doubt that I will also guide you through earthly life, that you need not suffer hardship …. if I recognize that your soul’s salvation is of utmost importance to you and you distance yourselves from earthly desires …. For it is I alone Who can give to you but also take away …. Who also provides for you most abundantly if you are willing to make a sacrifice to Me …. For you will truly not come to any harm, for what the body voluntarily relinquishes the soul gains a thousandfold …. And if you consider that you have to give up all earthly goods when your soul relies on your body …. that you cannot take anything over but only your spiritual gain, then you will also realise the worthlessness of earthly goods and try to free yourselves from them for the sake of spiritual advantage. But I cannot force you to renounce, I can only help you by taking away what still hinders you or by placing so many obstacles in your way that you voluntarily give up what is not helpful for your soul’s salvation. And you must seriously try to establish this difference between ‘fulfilment of duty’ and ‘your own desire for the world’s goods’, and if you feel completely free of the latter then you can truly also reach the final goal on this earth, to attain childship to God, for the course of your life will then also be shaped according to the seriousness of your will and striving, always offering you the highest opportunities to reach the highest goals …. But you will not lack strength because then you will enter into My will and your return to Me will be assured ….

Amen

Mission to vineyard workers: to spread light ….

B.D. 8472 from April 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

What you have to do if you want to serve Me is to stand up for the spiritual knowledge you constantly receive from Me. This is why I convey it to earth, so that people are enlightened, so that they are informed of the truth and made aware of error, so that they detach themselves from it, because truth alone is the path which leads to Me, to eternal life. Hence you need not fear at all that you will be left without protection, that I will leave you defenceless to My adversary’s attacks, but as soon as you are active for Me I Myself will walk by your side and avert every danger from you. For I need you, I did not choose you to be labourers in My vineyard for nothing …. I know how necessary the supply of pure truth is for humanity, and therefore everything will also happen on My part so that you can fearlessly carry out your work …. And you can be certain that I will determine all your paths, that I will direct everything in such a way as to benefit people’s spiritual development …. I also know the hearts of those I can still address who are open to My word, which is offered to them in purest form through you, who have offered yourselves to Me in free will …. The effects of error and lies are so appalling that I truly use all means to lead people out of their error …. But My adversary likewise fights against the truth with cunning and treachery …. And you must courageously take up this battle by openly representing the truth, by proclaiming what you yourselves may receive through My grace and thus inform your fellow human beings of it. Do not fear the adversary and his accomplices, for they will not be able to contradict the pure truth, for this testifies for itself …. However, you must reckon with the fact that My adversary will still launch fierce attacks against you, yet My presence will always protect you and My messengers of light will likewise protect you, so that you will be able to speak freely and unhindered and the strength of your speeches alone will reveal the origin …. For you don’t need to think about what you should say, for I Myself will put the right words into your mouth …. There is not much time left and therefore much work still has to be done, which mainly consists of spreading the truth. Therefore you must also speak wherever the opportunity presents itself, and you should always know that I Myself will guide people into your path whom you should inform of your vineyard work …. And depending on the willingness of their hearts to love they will listen to you or reject you, yet always with their own responsibility, for it is an overwhelming grace when I take care of the individual person and want to pave the way for him to Me, back into his Father’s house …. I alone am the way, the truth and the life …. Only through Me can you attain the pure truth and only through the truth can you acquire eternal life …. But on the path of error and lies you go directly towards the enemy of your souls …. Then you will never take the right path, and you can never attain salvation as long as you still move in error …. You must not walk your earthly path so indifferently that it is irrelevant to you whether you move in truth or in wrong thinking …. You must recognize the consequences which you must strive for or which you must fear, depending on whether you accept spiritual knowledge which originated from Me or from My adversary …. Be aware of your responsibility, for I have given you the intellect so that you can also take a purely intellectual stance on every spiritual good …. And if you are of good will and believe in a God Who is love, wisdom and might, then you will also appeal to Him for help if you consider yourselves incapable of an examination …. And I will help you and truly guide your thoughts correctly, for this is My greatest concern that you humans live in truth, and thus you need only seriously desire the truth and it will irrevocably be given to you, for I convey it directly to earth, because there is great spiritual hardship amongst people and because only the pure truth can remedy this hardship and then you will only be able to fulfil your purpose of earthly life if you live in truth. The truth originates from Me, but every error has My adversary as its source, who only ever wants to keep you humans in spiritual darkness so as not to lose you, because the truth exposes him and clearly shows you the path which leads to Me and to eternal life ….

Amen

Bids in coercion are not God’s will

B.D. 8473 from April 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Also this is not My will, that the people are handicapped in their free decision, that they are given commandments, after which they are allowed to move only in the limits of what again people only have determined …. Free will is the decisive factor in human life, for it alone gets done the maturing of the soul, but it also can fail, because it is completely free …. If now the freedom of this will is cut, then people get guilty in doing it …. But the man himself has the gift, to be able to use his mind, and he could make himself free from this fetter of the coercion of will …. But most times he does not find the courage in the face of the human orders. But I ask the question: Why do you just now follow this order so eagerly, while otherwise you easily break the commandments …. It is much required from you humanely, and you don’t consider it …. why are you obedient, when it is required from you to believe everything unconditionally, what is offered to you? Why don’t you obtain yourselves a clear light, before you accept teachings as truth? For upon which indifference do you break the commandments, which I Myself have given to you, how do you behave without passion to the commandment of neighbourly love? But you follow the commandments eagerly adopted by people …. And how much light would you receive, if you fulfilled the commandments of love …. All veils would fall from your eyes too, which covered the truth until now. And you would ask one thing: Who gives you the guarantee, that you have been presented pure truth? And even the slightest doubt means, that you open yourselves to the light, that you desire truth, and then also this desire can be fulfilled. To put the people in a kind of compulsory state is a great offence against Me, Who I have given free will to all My creatures, for which they must also justify themselves one day. And this is especially significant, because it has to do with the upward development of the soul, that presupposes free will …. The spiritual maturation can only promote that, what is done in free will …. And you prevent this development of soul by putting your neighbours in a compulsory state through commandments, so that a free decision is made impossible for them …. Indeed everyone could break free of this tutelage, if he is only doing for truth in best earnest …. But he likes shifting his own responsibility and does, what people demand from him, but not that, what I demand: that they live in love …. But always a life in love contributes to the clarity of mind, and then the person will also know, that I never could be the author of such commandments, that might cut man from his spiritual freedom. You shall not accept anything, before you may have thought about it, and you only shall ask for My help always, so that your thinking is right …. And believe it, you will have joy with the thoughts, that rise in you after a heartfelt prayer to Me, for it is My will, that you walk in truth, and therefore I will put you also the right feeling for truth in the heart, and you will be able to break away from all error slightly, as soon as you will accept Me Myself as the right teacher, if you come first to Me, to receive enlightenment from Me. This doesn’t have to be an obvious process of literal interpretation, because I have many ways to bring the truth to you, and that you also recognize this as truth, I direct your thoughts, and you believe then, that it is your own thought, but you are also fully convinced, that it is right …. And know, that the fellow man has no right to blank out your own thinking, as he commands you indubitably to accept, what he teaches you …. I didn’t give this right to any man, to curtail the freedom of the will, but the man himself is to decide, what he wants to accept and reject …. Because once he will have to answer for that, because it is about his spiritual maturation. But if he puts the fulfilling of commandments of love before anything else, so his maturation is also guaranteed, then he will come to the truth by himself more and more, and he has not got to give up so much of error, when he enters the spiritual kingdom …. For his light is strong and breaks through the darkness, which means any error for a soul …. Love alone is necessary to mature and to stand in truth …. But who doesn’t have love, will hardly get out of darkness, because he is not helped by the alleged means of grace, to which the man relies too easily, who is not in the truth ….

Amen

Knowledge is given according to the soul's maturity ….

B.D. 8474 from April 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 89

The knowledge you humans require for the maturing of your souls will always be made accessible to you. For you live in the last days before the end and are in utmost danger of going astray again if you don’t receive information about what kind of responsibility you have for yourselves, i.e. for the immortal part in you, for your soul. You humans carelessly live from day to day during these last days because you only take notice of what is useful for your body, which will perish, but not for the immortal part in you …. You are also indifferent towards all spiritual instructions, be they from ecclesiastical organisations or from those who aspire spiritually and who are therefore in contact with the spiritual kingdom, which is not of this world …. You don’t believe them and are therefore not receptive for divine revelations when they are conveyed to you through people who work as labourers in the vineyard of the Lord. Yet in your stubborn psychological state you urgently need help, you need a truthful explanation regarding yourselves, the meaning and purpose of your existence and your actual task on earth …. This is so essential for you because you don’t have much time left until the end. And you are truly richly endowed by God, for everything you need for your salvation of soul will be conveyed to you, providing you do not close yourselves to God’s grace when it so evidently flows to you. However, such spiritual knowledge should not remain worldly information which you, in turn, only utilise again in a worldly sense …. It should be the one and only nourishment for your soul, so that it can mature fully and reach its goal in earthly life …. to join God forever, since eternal life in beatitude depends on it …. And you should always pray for correctly realising what benefits your soul, and truly, such prayer will be granted to you …. For as soon as you consider your spiritual welfare imperative, you will also receive support in every way so that, with increasing maturity, you will turn away from the world and ignore its demands. And you can rest assured that a serious spiritual aspirant will also attain clear thinking, because the spirit in him is able to express itself as soon as he lives according to God’s will, of which every person is informed …. For every person will have the opportunity to hear the Word of God, irrespective of whether he hears it directly through His messengers or in the traditional way in churches …. He will be instructed of the commandments of love and if he lives up to them his thinking will become clear, his knowledge will increase, since he may also receive direct revelations through his heart in the form of thoughts which will be conveyed to him from the world of light …. And these beings of light …. because they are merely the implementers of divine will …. also know the spiritual state of the people in their care, and thus they will also know what a person will need for his soul’s salvation, and that is what he will receive …. For the soul will be offered what it desires ….

However, the intellect’s desire for knowledge is not part of the soul’s nourishment but will only ever benefit the intellect, which will then make earthly use of it, thus it does not signify any particular gain for the soul …. This is why you should be content with the spiritual information you are given and not ask for knowledge you have not yet received, which therefore remains purely intellectual knowledge as long as you are not so spiritualised that your spirit can delve into it, so that nothing will remain unknown to you because you yourselves, that is, your spirit, can penetrate everything and inform you of it, for then such knowledge will no longer pose a danger to your souls …. Just live a life of love, then you will instantly be placed into brightest radiance when you enter the kingdom of the beyond and no more unsolved questions will exist for you. But above all, try to attain maturity of soul yourselves, which allows the divine spirit to take effect in you …. Only then will you have reached the degree of perfection when you will receive clarification about everything …. Yet this degree of maturity is prerequisite first before the knowledge about the most profound secrets of creation can be disclosed to you and also be utilised by you in the right manner …. But as long as you lack this psychological maturity one can only speak of intellectual curiosity and not of a desire for spiritual knowledge which reveals your God and Creator’s nature to you and which lets your love flare up for Him …. Anyone who seriously strives spiritually can find his own explanation, because his train of thought is guided by knowledgeable forces, and these thoughts will become increasingly clearer the more he enters into God’s will and entirely subordinates Himself to His will ….Then he need only appeal to Him for clarification and he will receive it, if it is conducive for his perfection ….

Amen

God wants no compulsion …. The truth sets you free ….

B.D. 8475 from April 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 89

The will towards God is at the same time the will to detach oneself from God’s adversary …. But the will towards God will also always mean the will towards truth, for the human being who is completely wrongly taught can only free himself from the adversary when he walks in truth …. The truth alone sets you free …. through the truth the adversary’s nature will be revealed as well as his shameful work and activity, furthermore, through the truth the human being will also set himself free from all error, and he will realise that error is intended to keep the human being in bondage of thought and will …. that it chains people to decrees and commandments which, again, only originated from God’s adversary and which are therefore intended to keep the human being bound, to make him completely unfree and to prevent him from ever finding the truth …. But the truth sets you free …. for anyone who lives in truth no longer recognizes the adversary as his lord, he has recognized him and detests him, he consciously turns to the One Who is the Eternal Truth …. Thus an ecclesiastical organisation based on error can never permanently bind a person to itself who has found the truth …. And thus as long as the human being is bound to this organisation by commandments or laws it cannot possibly represent the pure truth, because truth does not tolerate coercion and because coercion has only ever been imposed on people by My adversary, since God Himself created every being in fullest freedom of will …. Hence, as long as people are required to perform earthly or spiritual actions or tasks under the threat of punishment, there is obviously coercion, because the human being shall then be burdened with the feeling of having sinned if he does not comply with those requirements …. The human being should have complete spiritual freedom, under no circumstances should he be subjected to spiritual coercion …. He should only ever be taught in love that God’s commandments must be fulfilled …. the commandments of love for God and love for one’s neighbour …. This alone is the task of those who want to help people to the well-being of their souls, who want to be God’s servants and thus have to render this service to Him, to educate people to love …. But love must also be exercised freely, no services may be demanded under compulsion which are devoid of love, which are only done again in order to comply with human requirements but which do not result in the slightest progress for the soul. Now it is a false objection if it is said that humanity needs laws because without them it would go through earthly life completely indifferent and its state would be completely disenchanted …. You humans, who consider such things to be good, only seemingly maintain a certain order which appears externally, yet the souls are raped because they are deprived of all free determination, because people have to act what they should do of their own free will and this is therefore entirely worthless for their maturing. Moreover, they are deprived of their sense of responsibility if they strictly adhere to what they are offered by individuals who feel called to lead the masses …. With only a little thought you must realise that such commandments, which signify a compulsion of will for the human being …. because in the case of non-fulfilment they are called sin …. can only have come from the adversary of God …. For precisely in the stage as a human being on this earth free will alone determines his spiritual progress, and every spiritual coercion is satanic activity …. And if you know all this it will also be easy for you to completely detach yourselves from spiritual knowledge which obviously reveals the work of God’s adversary …. For the truth sets you free …. Memorise that you are no longer subject to the adversary’s fetters if you live in truth, which only comes forth from God and which you can only receive and understand if you have already intimately united yourselves with your God and Father, so that you have made a free decision of will and the adversary has lost all right to you. Then you will also no longer fear anything that has been threatened to you by those who are still connected to the adversary, otherwise they would also recognize and strive for the pure truth and try to completely detach themselves from error …. Know that God Himself is love and that He will never impose those punishments on a human being which are threatened to you if you do not submit to the teachings and commandments which were given by human beings under the influence of the adversary in order to keep people in bondage …. The truth alone sets you free, and without hesitation you will release yourselves from those fetters if you are in possession of the truth which God gives to everyone who earnestly desires it, and which alone is the light through whose shine the adversary and his activity is unmasked …. And anyone who has the truth is now also a divine creature again, and he truly no longer needs to fear his adversary ….

Amen

Love and dedication needed for vineyard work ….

B.D. 8476 from April 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 89

You are all called to redeeming cooperation on earth, yet you must fulfil prerequisites so that you will be chosen to serve Me and can be instructed by Me as to what you should do …. You must first be filled with love for your fellow human being whom you want to help out of spiritual adversity …. For if you cultivate love within yourselves you will also recognize the degree of spiritual hardship in which people live …. And then you will also be willing to help …. You also have to be in close contact with Me which, however, is already guaranteed by the love within you or I would not be able to assign you your task. And you must firmly believe that all people have a task to fulfil and, in realisation of this, also instruct your fellow human beings …. And there are not many people who have recognized the meaning and purpose of their earthly life and would also like to lead their fellow human beings to the same realisation, because love has grown cold, because every person only thinks of himself, thus he still has a strong selfish love which he should overcome during his earthly existence. This is why I keep recruiting co-workers on earth, for this work can only be done by people, because I cannot influence people supersensibly due to their free will test …. But I know every individual person’s heart, I know his state of maturity, his spiritual condition, his will and his love, and truly, I choose the right servants for My vineyard …. And thus they can work for Me to the greatest blessing if only they are willing to serve Me in all freedom of will and in love, for then I will take over the guidance and the human being need not fear to undertake anything which contradicts My will …. I only want full devotion to Me from those who are willing to serve Me, then I can choose them, for full devotion to Me guarantees that the human being is full of love and willing to help, and then he can also work beneficially amongst his fellow human beings …. If people would only concern themselves with the fulfilment of the commandments of love, then the great spiritual hardship would not be …. There would be no such spiritual low that would cause the dissolution of the work of creation on earth ….. Yet My commandments of love are only little respected, self-love predominates, everyone is his own neighbour, and people stifle the divine spark within themselves, the spark of love which I placed in every person’s heart, and they remain enslaved by My adversary from whose power they should liberate themselves in earthly life. And these people can only ever be helped by a fellow human being who recognizes the spiritual adversity and wants to remedy it. And this person will also always find My support, because I don’t want to let any soul go astray and the salvation of just one soul is a great gain for Me …. because it is eternally released from My adversary’s control. And therefore I bless every person who serves Me with utmost unselfishness, who only cares about his fellow human being’s salvation and whom I therefore endow with strength and light as My co-worker, which he shall pass on again to those who dwell powerlessly in darkness, who need help to find their way out of deepest spiritual hardship …. And I instil the right thoughts into all those who want to serve Me and also guide them to the people on whom redemptive work is to be done …. However, it is by no means a spiritual coercion which I exert on you but I direct your thoughts which you voluntarily move within yourselves again …. and driven by the love within you …. now also carry out what is My will, because My will also fulfils a loving heart …. Therefore the first thing is love, and no person can ever be a faithful servant and diligent co-worker to Me who does not have love …., by which alone you can recognize God’s true servants …. For even such people call themselves ‘servants of God’ who are completely without love, and these will never be able to achieve spiritual success, for their speeches are dead even if they are based on My word, but they lack life because their spirit itself is not alive, which only love can awaken to life. Time and again love is placed in the foreground by Me, and anyone who has love cannot go astray, for he is united with Me through love and has fulfilled his actual purpose of earthly life, and therefore it is also your most urgent task to stimulate your fellow human beings into a life of love, and then you will also be successfully active in My vineyard and do redemptive work according to My will ….

Amen

There is no coincidence …. Nothing happens arbitrarily ….

B.D. 8477 from April 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Believe Me, there is no coincidence, instead everything is divine providence and every human being’s course of life proceeds in accordance with divine will …. For whatever does not correspond to My will nevertheless has My permission so that you may derive spiritual benefit from it if you make the right use of everything …. However, you are not at the mercy of a blind power, every experience during the course of your life has its reason and serves a purpose …. But how you use it is up to yourselves, because what matters in earthly life is the test of your will. And in order to evaluate every happening properly you should always request My support, and truly, you will think and act in the right way, because I will not guide you the wrong way if you entrust yourselves to Me voluntarily …. And thus everything confronting you is determined by Me or permitted for the purpose of your perfection ….

When you are in constant contact with Me through works of love, sincere prayer or in thoughts which relate to Me, you can also be certain that you will not think and act in opposition to My will, because then I will bless your every action and your souls will mature …. Hence you should view whatever confronts you every day as My direct action on you, because I direct all threads, I start relationships, I bring those together who shall serve Me and seize every opportunity to guide you humans into truth, who sincerely desire it …. This is most important in the last days, because passing the test of volition, which will determine your future fate, entirely depends on the truth. Sparks of light will flash on earth and tear the dark night apart, yet only few people will ever strive for them, the majority will be content with the night and flee the light …. But there will also be deceptive lights causing confusion as their light is short lived and plunges people into even deeper darkness than before …. But where there is desire for light the darkness will lift and people will find their way into the light of day ….

You, who ask for it, shall all become enlightened, and need only ever take notice of where the light is coming from …. If its radiance is bright it will make you feel good, you will be able to penetrate the darkness and be happy with the light which shines for you …. Deceptive lights, however, will confuse you, you will not be able to find complete understanding and therefore feel uneasy, if you are interested in the pure truth …. if you genuinely just want the pure truth …. But I know My Own, and thus I can speak to them, and they will recognise the Father’s voice, and as soon as I can speak to them Myself they will be saved for time and eternity …. And thus it is only important that you humans do not walk any path alone without first praying for My guidance. Because this prayer guarantees My protection and My help when you are still too weak and inexperienced to differentiate between true and deceptive light by yourselves. But I will place the right thoughts in your heart and then you will always live in truth, because you are seeking it ….

I can prepare vessels for Myself anywhere, which fulfil all conditions and thus allow the ‘working of My spirit’ within them …. And anyone with an awakened spirit also knows whether and when I speak Myself, because My sheep know My voice …. And when I Am able to send revelations to earth I will also take care of their distribution …. But My adversary will do the same by also trying to communicate with people who are gullible and facilitate his actions, and he will also try to spread error and find people to help him …. Nevertheless, the truth will shine like a brightly radiating light, whereas the adversary will only be able to ignite deceptive lights which will merely increase but not disperse the darkness …. But people’s free will has to be upheld, and this free will must sincerely want the truth and request it from Me Myself ….

Amen

How do you recognize the truth from above? ….

B.D. 8478 from April 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

I truly want to bring light to you and therefore also uncover all errors, and you can believe that you will recognize every error if you remain intimately united with Me and only ever desire to know the truth. Then you will also possess the right faculty of judgement, for My word from above guarantees you this, because you should work for Me and on My behalf. Thus I can only send disciples into the world with the mission to proclaim Me and My gospel who possess purest spiritual knowledge themselves, who have received it from Me and who are also able to differentiate between spirits, who are able to separate truth from error and only have the sole will to serve the pure truth. And even if people’s maturity of soul differs so that, depending on their maturity, a light can be conveyed to them from Me which shines brighter or weaker …. yet it will never deviate from the truth if I Myself am the source of spiritual knowledge which comes to people unusually. And even if a piece of knowledge is not so extensive it must still be the truth and allow it to be recognized …. But every contradiction must be clearly pointed out as error. People will always err because their intellect is still too active, which My adversary can influence and which he also does because he is an enemy of truth …. Yet precisely for this reason I guide the pure truth down to earth, and you need not fear that the adversary has the upper hand if you seriously want to stand in the truth …. Then it will also be given to you. But you must not forget that the adversary has great power at his disposal in the end and that he truly makes use of it because people themselves grant him this power …. And the battle will be a fierce one which will be waged between light and darkness, and where only one light emerges he is also already prepared to extinguish or dull it by interspersing it with error and time and again finding people whom he can mentally induce to make changes to spiritual knowledge which was originally conveyed to earth by Me. Yet people who only desire the truth will always reject of their own accord that which does not correspond to the truth. Yet forcibly I neither influence My adversary nor the people belonging to him, because I respect the will of the latter but, on the other hand, the sincere will to stand in truth will always protect a person from accepting erroneous spiritual material …. Yet because it is the time of the end, time and again a new source will be opened to you where you can draw purest water of life, and from this you will also be able to easily test whether you are inwardly healthy or whether you feel no effect of strength at all. I will not leave people without help who are inwardly connected to Me and trustingly turn to Me for the supply of truth …. And I enlighten their thinking, I give them the right faculty of judgment, and thus you humans need never ever fear to fall prey to error. And I always give you the touchstone, the act of salvation of Jesus Christ, which will solely be the content of My direct revelations, even if these do not yet convey wisdom to you in all depth if the soul’s maturity does not allow it …. Yet if I convey My word to you at all I will always emphasise the act of salvation, because you must have found redemption through Jesus Christ on earth if you want to freely enter the kingdom of the beyond …. This is enough for you to know if you want to check whether divine revelations are conveyed to you or whether the adversary has intervened in order to confuse you, for as soon as you are not given sufficient information about Jesus and His act of salvation he is the one who wants to prevent your redemption, which you can only find through Jesus Christ. And I will always convey this knowledge to you through My spirit about the significance and spiritual reason for the act of salvation, only then will you become enlightened, and only then will you know if and when you are being addressed by Me Myself, and you will no longer be able to fall prey to error …. Therefore examine everything and keep the best, for as soon as you are stimulated into loving activity good spiritual forces are also at work …. because through a life of love you will also be able to recognize error and it can no longer be dangerous for you ….

Amen

Touchstone of divine revelations: Jesus' act of Salvation ….

B.D. 8479 from April 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

How far have people distanced themselves from the truth, it is so difficult to introduce them to it because they are still awash with wrong thoughts and unable to let go of them. They accepted everything and made it their spiritual possession which they can hardly get away from. And precisely this wrong thinking, the adherence to error, is the immense spiritual adversity people find themselves up against. No matter how often I correct misguided teachings again, no matter how often I convey the purest truth to Earth, it does not gain acceptance because people’s wrong thoughts repeatedly oppose it, because there is no will for the pure truth and everything is deemed to be true which merely seems to be a message from the spiritual kingdom. In addition, especially Jesus’ act of Salvation cannot be properly grasped by humanity as yet; they don’t know its profound significance and reason and thus concepts developed in due course which no longer correspond to truth but which are not abandoned either …. Time and again I say that the reception of pure truth requires entirely empty vessels which need not be purged from wrong ideas first, but that the pure truth must enter such a vessel entirely unimpeded …. Only then will it be possible to provide a correct explanation, and only then can one speak of the ‘transmission of truth through the spirit’. However, for as long as Jesus’ act of Salvation is still argued about, as long as there is not complete clarity about the fact that Jesus’ soul came to Earth in order to accomplish a work of redemption, a unique act of mercy on behalf of the sins the human race had committed …. as long as people don’t know the magnitude of the original sin they are burdened with and that they actually take the path across earth because of it …. they will not fully understand the fact that One has redeemed this immense guilt of sin through His death on the cross …. that they can therefore release themselves from their guilt if they acknowledge Him as the divine Saviour in Whom I manifested Myself as a human being, and the person must take the path to Him of his own free will and appeal to Him for forgiveness …. This free will must be present, otherwise he cannot become redeemed …. Thus, every human being can find forgiveness if only he wants it himself …. And what does ‘forgiveness of guilt’ mean? It means that it will be completely deleted, that it was paid for by the One Who took the guilt upon Himself …. that the human being will then be completely free and all effects of the offence will be removed, because Jesus, the man, had accepted the effects upon Himself through His immense suffering and the most bitter death on the cross …. Every suffering a human being was able to endure was accepted by Jesus, the man, of His own free will and He truly atoned for the guilt, the atonement He rendered was sufficient for Me in order to wipe out the immense original sin which led to My living creations’ fall, as well as to forgive the sins which were committed by the human being in earthly life on account of his state which was burdened by the original sin ….

I Am indeed a God of righteousness and demand restitution for all guilt, for I cannot let any being enter My kingdom of light and bliss until it has been redeemed …. This is why a being’s wretched state can last for an infinitely long time depending on its will to accept the blessings of Jesus’ act of Salvation …. It will truly have to suffer accordingly, either in the kingdom of the beyond or through a renewed banishment in matter for another infinite time …. However, since Jesus, the man, has accomplished the act of Salvation, every soul which turns to Him, acknowledges Him and avails itself of the blessings of the act of Salvation, will also be redeemed …. And that means that its guilt will have been deleted, that it will be completely free from its guilt and able to enter the kingdom of light …. And if the soul has not found Him on Earth it will still be able to find Him in the realm of the beyond. Redemptive work is constantly carried out on the part of the world of light, the path to Him is pointed out to every soul, everything is done in order to help the wretched beings, and only totally hardened souls will descend ever lower and, at the end of a period of Salvation, can expect to be banished into matter again …. As long as you humans have not recognised the significance of Jesus and His act of Salvation for all spiritual beings which had become sinful, you will not get rid of your guilt either …. But do not believe that you may take the path across this earth for as long and as often as it takes you to come to this realisation …. Why do you cling to this hope that you will be able to catch up on what you neglected to do, or to atone your own sins? You will never be able to atone for the original sin yourselves, even if you lived a thousand lives on earth as a human being …. Because of this alone the pure truth needs to be conveyed to you, for each misguided thought is misleading and you allow it to be followed by constantly more wrong thoughts. You can believe that an enslaved soul also has to put up with enough agonies in the beyond in order to do penance for the sins it committed on earth. But you will never be able to cope with your original sin by yourselves, and as soon as you allow yourselves to be redeemed from it by Jesus Christ …. for which your free will must always impel you …. your earthly guilt will truly also be forgiven, because for this I Myself died on the cross. And believe that I do not convey opposing teachings to the people on Earth …. There is only one truth, and this truth I try to convey to people, and every person who sincerely desires the truth will also recognise it as such, for I will not leave anything unsubstantiated, I will provide you with understandable explanations and instruct you comprehensively so that you will also recognise error if it is offered to you. Time and again I highlight Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation only to show you the path you need to take in order to reach your goal. And it is wrong to say that you cannot reach this goal during one life on earth, for Jesus Christ died on the cross precisely for the purpose of enabling you to return to Me in one period of Salvation ….

However, if you ignore the blessings of the act of Salvation, it may well be possible that you will have to take the infinitely long process through the creations again …. Yet I will keep denouncing the misguided teaching that you may return to Earth as often as you like, because it will lead to completely wrong thoughts and because only truth can lead you to the goal ….

Amen

Distortion of truth ….

B.D. 8480 from April 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

I must constantly remind you of the fact that nothing will remain as pure as it originated from Me where it concerns the transfer of My Word from above, because people are still imperfect and therefore do not take sufficient care of that which is extremely precious. And precisely this impels Me time and again anew to convey the pure truth to earth as a countermeasure to My adversary’s efforts of consistently undermining the pure truth. However, it is up to you humans which spiritual information you accept; you are not subject to any coercion, neither from My nor My adversary’s side, only your own desire for truth is the decisive factor …. You don’t realise what gift of grace you receive when I talk to you directly time and again and repeatedly try to cleanse what had become worthless through My adversary’s influence because error is being endorsed, because the truth had become interspersed with inaccuracies and thereby rendered the spiritual nourishment impure and harmful to you. You will question how this could have happened. If all people who listen to or take notice of My Word were of the same spirit, it would indeed be impossible for incorrect spiritual knowledge to creep in …. But precisely people’s different spiritual state allows for the fact that personal and wrong thoughts are included in the pure truth which emanates down to earth from above …. And it is not sufficiently scrutinised by those who then try to spread the spiritual knowledge …. I Myself cannot infringe upon people’s free will, I can only emanate the pure truth to earth, which will also be recognised as such by those with the serious will to know the truth themselves and to only distribute pure truth …. And to these you shall listen, then you will hear Me Myself …. However, I cannot contradict Myself, I cannot teach one thing here and the opposite somewhere else, for the truth from Me forever remains unchangeable, thus your only responsibility is to scrutinise what you want to accept as truth …. I can only ever refer you to the criterion as to whether and what you are taught about Jesus Christ …. I can only ever enlighten you about the reason for your human existence, about the mission of Jesus, the man, and about His acknowledgement as Saviour of the world …. If you take notice of this explanation then the question of what you can acknowledge to be truth and what you may reject as error will answer itself. I don’t demand blind faith, I present profound knowledge to you so that you can clearly recognise all correlations.

No unconditional acknowledgement is demanded of you; instead, you should think about it and, at the same time, appeal to Me for spiritual enlightenment and then, truly, everything will become clear and understandable to you, you will comprehend My plan of Salvation and then also know that it can only be like this and not anything else …. For as soon as I instruct you, it will truly take place such that you can understand it, that no gaps remain open for you which might cause you to intertwine misguided thoughts again. Then you will be able to conduct an examination at any time, for all divine revelations must have the same contents, they cannot contradict themselves or the divine source would be questionable. And what is credible to you then will always be determined by your desire for truth, for if you are incapable of completely liberating yourselves from error then you will not be suitable for receiving the pure truth …. In that case misguided teaching will be spread again, yet then you will not be able to claim that you received them from Me …. I only convey the pure truth to you …. The pure truth does not contradict itself, and this pure truth comes to you through the spirit. You are being taught by your indwelling spiritual spark which is in contact with the Father-Spirit of eternity and which knows everything and therefore will only give you pure truth …. You must carefully inspect the origin of all spiritual knowledge and the manner of its transmission. You should not accept and spread something without having scrutinised it if you are not entirely certain that the spiritual knowledge you endorse is absolutely pure. Test everything and keep what is good …. So always accept My divine doctrine of love, for this will never be misguided …. live accordingly, love Me and your neighbour as yourselves, and make an effort to live your life in keeping with My will, and truly, you will soon be spiritually awake and realise whether and when you are offered the truth, for this will make you happy, whereas misguided teachings are only gladly listened to by very immature people who can still be influenced by the adversary …. You humans must make the decision, and your desire for truth must predominate, then you will not run the risk of falling prey to error and you will recognise who is talking to you …. Yet the errors will become ever stronger the closer it is to the end, because My adversary knows that he won’t have much time left ….

Amen

The earnest will to the light is the prerequisite of truth ….

B.D. 8481 from April 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

The spiritual confusion is great, but you yourselves must long to get out of it, you yourselves must ask for clear thinking and pure truth. But as long as you yourselves are not willing to do so, you remain in a lightless state because you dwell in the territory of My adversary, who is the lord of darkness and who seeks to extinguish or dim every light. But you will understand all this when you think about the fact that you have voluntarily stepped out of the light, that you have voluntarily given away the light of knowledge, because you turned away from Me, who am the light from eternity. It is therefore impossible that you are in the light and yet are distant from Me ….. You first have to re-establish the connection with Me, which then also surely results in the influx of light and you possess a bright, clear thinking and all connections are now also clear to you, but for which you cannot muster any understanding as long as you stay in dark areas ….. As humans you do not sense the lack of spiritual light, your thinking is filled with earthly material desires, and your striving is solely directed towards the increase of earthly goods ….. But in spirit you are blind, you do not know what you are on earth for and what your God and Creator demands of you, why He grants you the graces of earthly life as a human being ….. But you also don’t demand to know anything about it, you are content with the fulfillment of bodily desires and live thoughtlessly into the day, and My opponent uses your spiritual blindness to deepen the darkness more and more. And once questioning thoughts really arise in you, he himself will answer them immediately by confusing your thinking more and more and you will not find out of the darkness of the night to the light of the day because your will is also too weak to seriously find a way out. That it is possible to come out of the darkness only presupposes your serious will to learn something about the meaning and purpose of the existence on earth as a human being ….. For I will strengthen an earnest will and never leave man without an answer, but the first step must irrevocably be taken by you humans yourselves …. For you left Me voluntarily and now also have to return to Me voluntarily. But that I will also help you, of that you can be sure, because I only wait for man to muster this serious will, because then he has already taken the first step, and truly, it will always be easier for him to now also go the way of return to Me. And then also a small light will shine in him, and he will have other thoughts as before, he will desire to know what lies at the basis of his emergence, he will ask again and again: “Why”, and again and again an answer will come to him mentally, so that his thinking starts to order itself, and this thinking will now certainly also be directed by Me Myself …. You can truly believe that I pay attention to your innermost thoughts and that no thought is foreign to me, which you move within you, and I also truly use every opportunity to guide your thoughts to what is important for you …. to know about your purpose of life on earth and your task. Because obviously I can only address few people so that also the fellow men gain knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation ….. But I work in every man in such a way that I transfer light thoughts to him and only demand his willingness to accept them …. I cannot determine him to be willing, but he is permanently exposed to the influence of the light beings who look after him, and therefore it is possible for every man to find his way out of the darkness of the spirit, if only he does not openly resist the loving efforts of his spiritual attendants …. In the same way, however, My adversary also works, and he very often finds great willingness, although neither I nor he force the will to open or close itself to My or his streams …. You must be free if you want to become again what you were in the beginning, you must voluntarily let My stream of love flow in and reject the influence of My adversary …. And if you sincerely want it, then you will also receive power and be able to move in the light …. I can help you, but I will not force you, but just as also My opponent cannot force you and therefore the last decision lies with you men. But the light will touch you immensely beneficially if you let it flow into you, and then you will also increase in strength, which I give to every being that only does not reject it …. Escape the darkness and desire light, and you will experience a radiant morning and never ever fall back into darkness, because I Myself then illuminate the way for you, which leads upwards, towards the eternal light …..

Amen

Process of the Word-reception ….

B.D. 8482 from April 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

You must not grow tired of standing up for the truth, time and again I say this to those who may receive the pure truth from Me, whom I Myself have chosen to serve Me as a vessel into which the outpouring of My spirit can flow …. These are characterised by a plain and simple way of life, by their genuine nature and humble attitude towards the greater than great gift of grace they receive …. For the pure truth cannot endure any unusual side effects …. the recipient of the truth will be just as clear and pure as the truth which originates from Me, even though he need not be a Saint in order to serve Me as a vessel. For only rarely will a person on earth attain the degree of perfection for which he could be called saintly …. But he will be able to show certain prerequisites which allow for My extraordinary working within and in aid of him …. The Word-reception will therefore always take place in a most natural way, without strange signs or happenings, and the person himself will always firmly have his feet on the ground, he will not demonstrate any kind of ecstasies or raptures …. He will simply hear My Word and write it down in order to preserve it for future generations. Anything which appears sober and clear to other people’s eyes is also suitable to appeal to those who are still living in the midst of the world, and especially these shall be persuaded to turn their eyes to spiritual spheres. They gladly dismiss everything of a psychic nature but they must nevertheless form an opinion about that which is offered to them in this way …. because they will have to acknowledge an extraordinary power since the results stand up to firm scrutiny. And anyone who is seriously willing to examine will truly feel a great spiritual blessing, for he himself comes subsequently in possession of the most delectable that can be offered to him on earth: he comes into possession of the truth, which can only come forth from Me as the Eternal Truth …. And although this natural process only finds little credence despite its explanation, it does not exclude the fact that many people pay attention to spiritual transmissions which exhibit unusual side-effects, thus they look for and allow themselves to be deluded by a framework whose brilliance intends to obscure the poor quality of content …. However, only the content is important, and in order to convey the pure truth to earth, which is the most delectable content of a vessel, I chose the most insignificant vessels.

Nevertheless, one prerequisite has to be in place: a strong will, for they must defend the spiritual knowledge against My adversary’s every onslaught and therefore they have to be so devoted to Me that they will constantly receive My strength as to be able to cope with their task. And since an ability of judgment is simultaneously conveyed to them with the truth they will always be capable of recognising misguided teachings and of confronting them with the pure truth …. And only like this is it possible to spread true spiritual knowledge on earth, which originated from Me directly …. The fact that My adversary tries to be equally active during the last days before the end means that he is also grooming vessels for himself by encouraging people to listen to spiritual influences sent to them from the psychic world and that he tries to gain these people by disguising himself as an angel of light, by making people feel secure in the belief that they are being addressed from the highest spheres. It would not be a danger for the souls of fellow human beings of good will as long as they are prepared to accept good advice …. Yet his only intention is to prevent people from handing themselves over to Jesus, Who alone can bring salvation for their souls …. He wants to stop people from releasing themselves from their immense guilt of sin, and no means is too evil for him to achieve his aim, hence he will also avail himself of My Words in order to mislead people and to be believed by them …. He will stop at nothing, and it requires immense love for Me and one’s neighbour that his activity will remain without influence on a person …. And this requires My countermeasure again by prompting My bearers of light to step forward with the truth and to provide clarification wherever possible so that people will not fall prey to error, so that they will not get caught in his nets of lies …. so that they will not bypass Jesus Christ, Who alone is Saviour and Redeemer of humanity and Who has to be called upon for forgiveness of sin, so that earthly life is not lived in vain and the human being will still find redemption on earth …. Time and again the significance of the knowledge about Jesus and His act of Salvation has to be presented to you, and this can only be accomplish by the pure truth which is directly conveyed to earth by Me. It is, in fact, a light bearer’s most important task to inform the human race of this and to do everything in his power to spread the truth …. And everything will be done by Me, too, in order to support your work for Me and My kingdom …. For humanity still lives in profound darkness and bright light shall be given to those who desire it, who long for Me and the truth ….

Amen

Purpose and meaning of the revelations …. Signs of Truth ….

B.D. 8483 from April 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

You will be given spiritual knowledge which your soul needs to mature on this earth. And thus My gospel of love will be preached to you first and foremost, which you now also have to live out in order to feel the effect, because love is the first thing and no spiritual progress can be achieved without love. Only love will open up your understanding for the knowledge I want to impart to you so that you will recognize My nature and then also learn to love Me …. For you are completely darkened in spirit when you start earthly life as a human being, you first have to be slowly guided to the light, and the light has to be brought to you by light bearers who are inwardly enlightened and thus able to instruct you truthfully …. And I take care of your enlightenment because I want your earthly life to bring you the success for which your soul is embodied as a human being. I know best what knowledge you need on earth, and I also supply it to you. I also know how much error there is in the world and how this error has to be countered …. I know that My adversary also exerts his influence on you and therefore I offer you My help so that you can survive the battle against him …. And thus I also give you knowledge about him and his activity, I give you knowledge about the reason for your humanity and show you the right path you have to take in order to reach the final goal of re-establishing the union with Me which you once voluntarily severed …. You should know why you are on earth and then also adjust your life according to this knowledge …. This is the purpose and meaning of My everlasting revelations, for I alone can impart knowledge to you which entirely corresponds to the truth, because I am the beginning and the end …. and because you came forth from Me and shall return to Me again in order to remain with Me forever. And I say to you that you can abide by what I convey to you by way of revelation with all certainty, for it originates from the Eternal Truth and can only be purest truth. And if you raise the objection that the revelations do not correspond and that you cannot know which revelations are genuine, i.e. which originated from Me, I can only ever reply that you need only have the firm will to recognize the pure truth and that you should ask Me Myself with all your heart to let you recognize it …. And you will definitely gain the inner conviction that I Myself address you when you receive a revelation from Me, whereas you will remain inwardly untouched by spiritual knowledge which did not originate from Me …. It always depends on yourselves, on your degree of desire for truth, that you also have the right realisation, for anyone who only accepts spiritual knowledge indifferently will remain unimpressed by whatever is presented to him …. And he will also be unable to make a decision between truth and error. And time and again a person’s degree of love will be decisive as to whether he is impressed by the truth, whether he feels touched by it …. For this reason My teaching of love is repeatedly emphasised first, and as soon as this is merely followed a person’s thinking will already be enlightened to such an extent that he will be able to recognize what is truth and what is error …. And I also give a second recognition sign of pure truth: the presentation of Jesus Christ’s act of salvation …. its justification and its effect …. If you humans are without knowledge about it, your earthly existence will not lead you to the goal, and therefore I give you a right clarification through My revelations. But if spiritual transmissions leave gaps so that people cannot grasp the depth of the divine act of mercy, then they are not ‘divine’ revelations …. For since I know that Jesus Christ is the only salvation for the once fallen spiritual being, that He is the only path which leads to the goal, to Me, I will give you a truthful clarification precisely about this in order to induce people to entrust themselves to Him, to appeal to Him for strengthening of will and for forgiveness of your guilt …. For this forgiveness opens the gate to the kingdom of light for you humans. And therefore you can always use the presentation (emphasis) of the act of salvation and its profound spiritual reasoning as a touchstone, and then you will also certainly recognize and accept a genuine revelation, whereas you will not allow yourselves to be impressed by wrong spiritual knowledge but reject it if My adversary tries to consider you in the same way, so that he will cause confusion amongst people. Not much time will pass anymore and then his activity will be put to an end …. But the time until then demands a serious battle from you which, however, you will pass with My help …. For your bond with Me alone secures you clear knowledge and My protection and support, which you can request at any time …. And never will such a prayer be in vain as soon as it is sent to Me in spirit and in truth ….

Amen

Activity of demonic powers disguised as angels of light ….

B.D. 8484 from May 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 89

You shall be fighters for Me and My kingdom, and thus you will also have to stand up to My adversary’s onslaught …. But you will not fight alone, you will have Me as your commander and truly, I will lead you to victory, for he will be unable to bring you down since you fight with My strength and as My messengers. My might is certainly superior, you just have to utterly and completely entrust yourselves to Me to come into full possession of strength when you need to resist him. Thus you need not be at all afraid, no matter what form his approach takes. He hides himself behind many disguises and will always try to scare My Own, but he will not succeed when I Am asked for protection.

But you should know that I do not speak with two tongues …. I will not give one person this and another person a different teaching and explanation, and thus two masters have to be at work where conflicting spiritual teachings occur …. But I know every person’s heart, I know his attitude towards Me, His eternal God and Creator, and I therefore also take possession of the heart which completely entrusts itself to Me, and guide the person on all his journeys through life …. If you could see to what extent My adversary’s kingdom has spread and with what weapons he fights in order to gain supreme control during the last days, it would no longer surprise you that so much wickedness reveals itself and that the dark world fights the pure truth in every possible way. I can only ever tell you to trust Me by completely handing yourselves over to Me and allowing Me to take care of you ….

And do not let satanic activities deter you …. For I will prove to you that My might is greater and will show him his limitations too when the time has come …. You should believe that there are also strong connections between the spiritual realm and earth and that the adversary is particularly busy due to disguising himself as the brightest being of light, which he is able to do because the state of each person’s soul itself gives him the power for it. You don’t know these demonic forces who will do anything during the last days in order to pull people into ruin …. But anyone who stays close to Me truly will not need to fear these forces …. even if they tried everything to worry the soul which is devoted to Me …. Many bad spirits are also embodied on earth during the last days who serve their master as messengers from hell and cause much spiritual harm …. They, too, are granted freedom, for they also could find salvation from an eternally long state of torment if they would accept salvation from Jesus Christ during their earthly life ….

These are demon-possessed souls whose time of embodiment as human beings has come, but who are still wholly satanically minded and do not stop their resistance, they are still totally subject to the adversary’s influence and are fine accomplices to him. They believe to spread light but constantly try to extinguish it. They are in profound darkness and cannot escape from it …. and yet they have to travel their earthly path with freedom of will, which can just as well bring them salvation …. These demonic spirits will also try to mislead everyone who voluntarily belongs to Me …. But I Myself will always stand between them and you, for they don’t like Me and take flight to avoid the light …. Therefore you need not fear them; nothing can harm you as long as you entrust yourselves to Me, and My increased flow of strength will enable you to fend off every onslaught. You may not be touched by them because I Myself will protect you from every harm and danger and because you work for Me and therefore can also always rely on My help ….

Amen

Doubts about end prophecies ….

B.D. 8485 from May 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 89

One redemption period has expired and a new one begins …. And whatever can still be done to save souls from the end, to spare them the path through the creations of the new earth, that will truly still be done, for all good forces in the spiritual kingdom and also on earth make it their business to help the souls to reach the goal before the end. But the fact that the end of this earth has come is irrevocable, after all, the day of the end has been fixed in My plan of salvation since eternity, and it will also be kept. But what such an end of a period of salvation means cannot be described to you in words, for it is a process which is incomprehensible to all of you humans …. that everything you now still see around you ceases to exist …. that an end has come for everything, be it living creations or other creations, and that therefore humanity will also fall to the lot which corresponds to the satanic state. All these references to the end find little credence because it is simply inconceivable to people and because they cannot look back on anything similar to consider it credible. Yet everything unwinds according to My eternal plan of salvation, for I foresaw from eternity the spiritual state people are in and that there is no other possibility left to promote the further development of everything spiritual. Everything has to progress upwards, and therefore new opportunities have to be created for the still bound spiritual to mature …. The act of transformation on earth is therefore an immense blessing for this spiritual substance, for it enters a new stage of its development when it is released from hardest matter and enters less hard deformations where it can mature more quickly than before …. But the souls of people who failed in earthly life are severely affected, for they experience a complete dissolution again and are banished anew into hard matter in order to start the course of ascent development again in endless agony and bondage. And in order to save what can still be saved before the end, everything is truly being done, and a work of redemption is underway, both in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth, which could have great success if the human being himself did not determine the success through his will ….. He cannot be forced to believe in an end of this earth, yet the mere belief in it would cause him to change, and then he could truly still mature so far in the short time that he would be saved from a new banishment …. But people lack faith, and whether they are repeatedly reminded of the seriousness of the time, whether the purpose of existence is repeatedly explained to them …. The time set for this period is coming to an end, and a completely new earth will arise after the destruction of the old earth, which again offers countless possibilities to the spiritual, which has not yet reached its goal. For I hold fast to My plan of salvation because My resolutions are unchangeable. And therefore you humans are not able to prevent Me from doing so, you are not able to change My will when it concerns the very plan of salvation which I reveal to you humans because of the imminent end and let you see so that everything is understandable to you and you shall only ever learn to recognize My infinite love as the reason …. And this love would truly be small if I wanted to comply with your wishes and requests and depart from that plan, which, however, is not possible in eternity, that I would reject and change decisions once taken …. But I will hear all requests which you humans send in love for your fellow human beings for their salvation, and therefore the serious request goes out to you who believe and are not entirely without love: Remember all unbelievers and pray for them so that they may escape the dreadful fate of new banishment …. Take care of those whom you know are unable to believe and pray for them, that they may be enlightened in spirit, that bright thoughts may come to them which they will take up and that they may change their mind …. You should only give them a small impulse and wish that it will not remain unsuccessful, and your love for these wretched people will truly have an effect and bring about a change of heart in them. And this, too, is redemptive work which you can all do and which can still save souls from the end …. For I am truly a merciful God, and I value every kind thought which applies to such souls and help so that I can still reap a rich harvest before the end comes.

Amen

Jesus' life before His teaching ministry ….

B.D. 8486 from May 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 89

I will always educate you in all truthfulness, as soon as you desire it …. And I will also always answer the questions that arise in you, because you only desire the answer for the sake of truth …. that is, you would like clarity where various opinions prevail …. If I give you the instruction to spread the truth, you shall also always receive an explanation, no matter what it is: The earthly path of Jesus, the man, can no longer be verified, only by spiritual means can you humans be informed as to how and where Jesus spent the years which preceded His actual work as a teacher …. Even so, it is certain that he lived a very simple life with His family and that He always remained reticent even within the circle of people who frequented His parent’s house.

He kept away from all festivities, as well as larger gatherings; He always kept Himself to Himself and inwardly matured as a result of His exceptionally helpful attitude towards His needy fellow human beings …. For His heart was full of love and this love increased His wisdom, knowledge revealed itself to Him so that He clearly recognised everything …. even though in the beginning this inner light came to Him in a flash only to withdraw again for a while, and then He spoke and thought like everyone else again, yet in His knowledge He was far more advanced than His contemporaries. However, He refused to accept instructions from people ….

You humans may well believe that love is the best teacher and that someone …. who correctly develops his love …. will gain inner knowledge which can never be offered to him so comprehensively by another person …. You should know that Jesus’ soul had come from the kingdom of light, that it had indeed forfeited the light during its life on earth but not the love within itself because, as a purest being of light it was illuminated by My eternal Fatherly love …. As a human being the light of love could not shine in abundance, because His fellowmen would have been unable to endure it, yet in Jesus the man it glowed on and revealed to Him all knowledge, on account of which He soon recognised humanity’s immense hardship and His mission and consciously prepared Himself for this ….

But you also know that He already preached in the temple as a boy …. that He gave answers to the scribes which took them aback …. Thus it testifies to the fact that He already possessed knowledge as a boy which He was not taught by people but which was caused by the bright flame within Him …. His love grew ever stronger and thus His wisdom increased …. and the Pharisees and scribes already treated Him with hostility because He wouldn’t allow Himself to be taught by them, instead He stayed away from every school ….

No records survived for future generations about the time between His sermon in the Temple and the beginning of His actual ministry, and therefore many different assumptions and descriptions are being advocated, as worked out by human intellect …. The reason why no records exist is because Jesus’ life proceeded quietly in His parental house, because He seemed to have lost all divine abilities during this time, He stepped out of public view and led a very secluded life and, as a carpenter’s son, also worked in His profession as such …. Nothing extraordinary happened to Him, for during these years Jesus had to mature as a ‘human being’ because He wanted to exemplify to people the way of life which leads to full maturity, to perfection ….

Throughout this time His life was quiet, He did not possess any remarkable abilities, in fact, He gave the impression of a simple-minded person, because He withdrew from all people and only ever gave short answers and even the usual worldly knowledge seemed unfamiliar to Him …. Most of all He avoided contact with those who belonged to the Temple and whose task it should have been to provide spiritual guidance to people …. And so, soon there was no-one in His environment …. not even His close relatives …. who were still convinced that the once so extraordinary child had a divine mission ….

This time of Jesus’ life on earth had been especially grievous, for what was no longer externally visible was nevertheless deeply hidden within, it is just that Jesus had to deal with it Himself, He had to come to terms with everything as a human being, He had to fight as a man against all inner cravings and passions which besieged His body just like all other people …. He had to suffer and fight and mature through being of service …. For by virtue of His love, which emanates wisdom, He soon realised all correlations and He knew that He Himself first needed to attain the degree of maturity which would enable Him to accomplish His mission ….

And He covered this process of development in silence and solitude as a plain carpenter’s son …. Who did not leave His hometown, Who often merely looked for solitude for the purpose of attaining inner maturity by withdrawing into remote regions, by climbing hills and frequently staying alone for days, only in contact with His God and Father and remaining in prayer for strength and fortitude for that which was ahead of Him, which He often saw before His eyes in great detail and which plunged Him into dreadful states of fear. During these times He turned to Me in search of help …. And I was with My Son, I gave Him strength and granted Him increasingly brighter realisation, so that He time and again offered Himself to complete the work which was intended to bring humanity salvation from sins and death ….

However, the notion that the man Jesus acquired more profound knowledge through association with philosophers and teachers in foreign countries is completely misguided …. Who else could possibly have taught Jesus better than I Myself …. But I Myself dwelled in Jesus, the human being, as a result of His boundless love …. It is an absolutely absurd idea that Jesus would have needed instructions from another person …. in order to then be able to undertake His teaching ministry on earth in His country of origin …. If you humans have proof that I Myself convey the truth to earth providing specific preconditions exist …. how much sooner was Jesus therefore able to be taught by Me directly, after all, His love and total devotion to Me surpassed all of you …. Only someone who has no idea as yet about the consequences of a life of love, can make such allegations that Jesus had acquired the knowledge in other countries in order to appear as a teacher, that He had to visit other people in order to study their doctrines ….

That which I evidently allow to happen to a simple earthly child: that I convey to it through the spirit the pure truth from above, you humans must truly grant the man Jesus as well, Who descended to earth in order to let Me Myself speak through Him to you, Who really did not need any teachers, instead, He accepted the most profound wisdom from Me directly and through these instructions became suitable to teach and to impart the pure truth to His fellow human beings …. And now you can also accept these very Words of Mine as purest truth, after all, it is My will that you should not live in error and that you shall receive an explanation where you yourselves are still lacking knowledge.

Most of all, it concerns the fact that you humans gain a clear impression as to Who Jesus essentially was and why He came into the world and grew up in the humblest and poorest circumstances …. For although He was as human as anyone else, He nevertheless proved to people that every person can develop the highest spiritual abilities in himself and that the knowledge He possessed and imparted to people came from within Himself …. but that He never had the need to be educated by others or to take notice of doctrines, since everything was, after all, known to Him, otherwise He would not have attained the highest perfection on earth which resulted in complete unity with Me, so that He became as One with Me …. in Whom I Myself became a human being in order to redeem you ….

Amen

False Christs and prophets ….

B.D. 8487 from May 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Beware of false Christs and false prophets …. I warned you about those when I lived on earth because I knew of My adversary’s activities, of his snares and unscrupulous machinations whereby he tries to pull you humans into ruin. He is using all means, and this especially during the last days in order to increase the darkness in which humanity languishes. There will be people everywhere who claim to be knowing and initiated into the secrets of creation, who demand people’s recognition and faith in their spiritual experiences and who are but My adversary’s tools, because they support and spread spiritual knowledge which completely contradicts the truth. False Christs and false prophets will appear in large numbers …. They will all wear the cloak of divine messengers, they will all claim to possess knowledge and to be in contact with the highest representatives …. They will pretend to be messengers of light and yet walk in profound darkness themselves, and therefore they will only ever spread darkness amongst their fellow human beings. They cannot emanate light because they don’t possess light themselves, yet their mannerisms are so self-assured that people do not dare doubt the divine mission of those who, nevertheless, in reality work for My adversary. But only people who live in truth themselves will be able to recognise this and they, in turn, will be described by them to be false prophets …. And it will be difficult to convince oneself of the true prophets’ divine mission, yet it is not impossible …. The fact that true prophets exist is proven by My warning against false prophets ….

However, you need only ever seriously desire not to fall prey to the latter and truly, you will also know whom to turn to. For My messengers will bring you a message which will touch your soul in a comforting and helpful way, which will affect you like a nourishing meal and refreshing drink, which you will continue to desire and thereby become noticeably strengthened for your earthly life’s path. Whereas the alleged knowledge conveyed to you by wrong teachings cannot convince you of the truth and does not result in any illumination or stimulation of your soul …. It is and remains barren knowledge which you will find barely credible and of little use to you. It is more likely to cause you dread and fear because you are unable to detect a loving God therein, Who behaves like a Father with His child. False prophets will never be able to offer people pure truth, and the adversary’s only intentions are to undermine the truth, to entangle people in error. His most eager endeavour consists of withholding from people the truth about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, about God’s human manifestation in Jesus, or to confuse their thoughts such that they won’t take the path to the cross and thereby their earthly path remains unsuccessful for their souls …. And no means is too evil for him to use, because Jesus defeated him through His crucifixion, and he is trying to regain the fruits of His victory again …. Souls who turn to Jesus are lost to him; consequently he will try to give an entirely wrong description of Jesus so that they do not see any reason why they should take the path to the cross. The truthful portrayal of the act of Salvation also has a redeeming effect, and this means that My adversary will lose his followers, what he tries to prevent by cunning and trickery. And you humans can truly and easily recognise every false prophet yourselves by the fact that he withholds the knowledge of the Salvation through Jesus Christ from you, and thus you are entitled to dismiss him as a ‘false prophet’ …. And especially during the last days you can notice increasingly more often that most diverse descriptions of spiritual subjects are given by those who present themselves as prophets of truth. Yet in one instance they all agree, that the salvation through Jesus Christ …. the sacrifice on the cross by the man Jesus to redeem the immense guilt of sin …. is doubtful, because the belief in this signifies a loss of followers for My adversary and he does not want to lose them ….

Jesus Christ has been argued about for centuries, because time and again false prophets arose who had already proven their affiliation to My adversary and were influenced by him to act against Jesus …. Although they were unable to completely dispute the earthly life of the man Jesus and thereby remove the knowledge of him entirely, the real purpose of His earthly existence …. His redeeming mission …. was repeatedly portrayed as a misguided teaching which removed people’s hope of ever being released from their guilt of sin unless they themselves made

Amends …. unless they thus believed these false prophets. Yet no human being will ever be able to release himself from his immense guilt of sin without the help of Jesus Christ; no human being will ever succeed in perfecting himself by his own strength without Jesus Christ, because the original sin absolutely prevents this …. Hence ‘self-redemption’ is impossible, irrespective of how sincerely it is aspired to, because the human being’s will is too weak and would fail time and again …. Regardless of how you are instructed …. if Jesus Christ is not portrayed as the Son of God and Saviour of the world, in Whom I embodied Myself, you are not taught the complete truth, and you will not become eternally free, since only truth will set you free. And I Myself transmit this truth to you, I Myself, your God and Creator of eternity, the greatest and most perfect Spirit in infinity …. I transmit the revelations to you directly and guide you into truth, because I want to give you the light of awareness again, which you once gave away voluntarily and which will be returned to you providing you willingly accept it, providing you let yourselves be taught by Me and surrender to Me with love, thus also fulfilling My will …. providing you change yourselves to love and accept your original nature again in which you were happy beyond description. Only One can promise all this to you, and only One can help you to achieve it, and this One is Jesus, Who is completely merged with Me, thus He and I are one …. God from eternity to eternity ….

Amen

Statement on mental and literal address ….

B.D. 8488 from May 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

How often have you already been informed of the fact that I speak to all children who desire to hear Me, and that their thoughts will therefore also move in truth if they only ever intimately unite with Me. And thus what they say in order to communicate with their fellow human beings will also be correct …. it will not go against My will, for an earthly child devoted to Me is now also guided by Me and therefore cannot move in wrong thoughts either. And then this will be expressed in constant admonitions to love, in the effort to also induce fellow human beings to live a life of love, and this will always correspond to My will. Therefore you need not take offence at such words either which only ever refer to love for Me and for the neighbour. The thought of this is not wrong, it is a mental spiritual good which originates from Me and therefore also has to be good, for an earthly child which completely hands itself over to Me will also be permeated by My love and will want to radiate this love to its fellow human beings again …. This must be recognized and acknowledged, and thus such a person cannot be portrayed as a false prophet as soon as it concerns the spreading of My divine teaching of love …. A mental influence on My part cannot be denied …. However, a word transmission on My part may not always be assumed, because such a transmission requires very special prerequisites. A word transmission would exclude all error, and once a person has fulfilled the conditions which enable a word transmission directly from Me, then the form of My address will also let Me Myself be recognized, for then a person’s degree of education or knowledge will no longer be decisive, because My word radiates in all perfection, irrespective of a person’s nature and circumstances …. Then a direct word reception from Me can no longer be denied, because the human being as such did not possess knowledge which is now offered to him in a simple but perfectly formed way. The thinking of an earthly child devoted to Me is certainly quite guided by Me …. but it will always express its thoughts in its own way of speaking, which, however, can also be a blessing for fellow human beings and is often more readily accepted than My word, which originates directly from Me. But believe it, where I express Myself in direct speech I also want to be recognized as the giver Who is supremely perfect and to Whom everything is possible ….

And therefore I speak in direct form through simple, plain earthly children who allow such direct address and have been chosen by Me as mediators between Me and people, for these have no special talent for the form and language I use when I reveal Myself. Their human abilities and knowledge are far surpassed by the nature and content of what I convey through them to earth …. For a perfect being shall be recognized as the outcome of what people shall accept and what is offered to them as a special gift of grace, so that the truth of these proclamations need not be doubted either …. For only pure truth is conveyed from Me to earth. I have to point this out so clearly because erroneous views can only slip in and have also set in (which has also happened) where a certain spiritual arrogance has revived the belief in high pre-embodiments …. precisely because only mental objections leave open the possibility that other thoughts will also creep in, because the human being is constantly exposed to temptations …. And the fact that the adversary is also interested in confusing people whose will is good and turned towards Me is only intended to remind you to be extremely cautious, to be deeply humble and to be ever more intimately attached to Me, Who alone can protect you against his attacks …. Yet I Myself am never the source of misguided teachings, and I have already explained many times that and why even the beings of light which have descended to earth know nothing of their pre-embodiment …. And time and again I will point out that you are misled in your thoughts to assume certain pre-embodiments, and from this you must also recognize that it cannot be a direct address on My part, otherwise I would contradict Myself, which eternally cannot be. You will receive the richest blessings if you dedicate yourselves to serving Me with love and encourage your fellow human beings to live a life of love, to pray for them with intercessory love so that the great spiritual hardship will be remedied …. I bless you who are therefore active for Me and My kingdom and always request My support for this …. Much blessing will accrue to you, for I value your will to serve Me …. yet the pure truth must also always be requested, and then no erroneous thoughts will be able to creep into you either …. You will enjoy My protection in every way, for I am pleased with every faithful servant who willingly carries out the work in the vineyard of the Lord ….

Amen

Battles for souls …. Counterpole ….

B.D. 8489 from May 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

As long as My adversary serves Me as an antipole, his activity will also come to light openly, for he has the right to influence people’s will because they once followed him voluntarily when he strayed from Me into the abyss …. So these creatures belong to him but they now have the right of free decision from Me in the stage as a human being …. The human being’s will shall consciously turn towards Me or towards him. And therefore this will is also influenced from both sides …. from the side of light and from the side of darkness …. And this free decision will always mean a fight, for My adversary is driven by hatred …. He does not fight for the fallen one‘s possession out of love for him, but he is only driven by hatred towards Me and also towards everything created which he does not want to let attain bliss …. And in his hatred he uses the most despicable means, and therefore the human being’s path through earthly life is not a state of bliss, peace and harmony but a constant battle against the adversary if the human being wants to become free from him and return to Me …. And this state can only improve if the human being makes an effort to live a life of love, for then he will already come into harmony with himself, he will establish contact with Me as the Eternal Love and he will become powerful, for love is strength …. And where love is, there the adversary’s activity is restricted, for love is the only weapon he succumbs to …. He flees love, for love is divine, and it spreads light which he shuns …. And thus the human being himself is always decisive as to whether I or My adversary is victorious over the soul, for where love is there I am Myself …. Where love has grown cold My adversary has dominion, and these souls belong to him. It would truly be victory on My side if the battle only took place between the adversary and Me, yet the outcome is decided by the human being …. And that is why you humans bear such great responsibility for your earthly change. I Myself cannot render the adversary harmless because it is his right to fight over you, who are still in his possession as long as you do not voluntarily try to detach yourselves from him, but the strength to do so is certainly at your disposal. You just have to request it from Me in prayer or acquire the strength yourselves through loving activity. Love binds you together with Me and I Myself can then defend the adversary if he approaches you and wants to tempt you …. Your earthly life can truly remain without struggle if you let love flare up in you and thus serve with love, by which you safely detach yourselves from the enemy of your souls …. For every service of love brings you strength from Me which is easily able to push the adversary away. Then your earthly life will not be so difficult either, for anyone who serves with love will need to fight less, because the adversary will become weak in the face of love and his oppressions will become ever less …. And then, by working with love, you will also have expressed your devotion to Me, then you will have decided the battle yourselves and your soul will have voluntarily turned to Me, My adversary will have to give it up because I will not let My living creation, which voluntarily returned to Me, be snatched away from Me. This is why humanity can only experience a peaceful time when it makes it impossible for the adversary to work through a way of life which completely corresponds to My will: a way of life in love, which is also a way of life in divine order ….. And this will always be the case at the beginning of a redemption period when the earth is inhabited by people who have passed their earthly test of life, who resisted all My adversary’s temptations and are in a paradisiacal state again …. whereas before, at the end of a redemption period, My adversary has overwhelming power which people themselves grant him through their loveless way of life …. And because everything is out of order as a result, because all upward development of the spiritual is prevented, an end has to come, divine order has to be restored, people have to be separated from each other, the earth has to be cleansed and arise anew in order to continue to serve as a training station for the spiritual being on its way of return to Me …. And love is the only way to still reach Me in this last time, to free oneself from the fetters of My adversary in order to be allowed to start a new life again in harmony and bliss on the new earth …. For where love is, there I Myself am also, and I truly also bring you peace ….

Amen

Overcoming the world ….

B.D. 8490 from May 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Anyone who loves the world still belongs to My adversary, for the earthly world is his kingdom where he rules and reigns. All desiring thoughts which apply to the world’s goods are whispered into your ear by him, and therefore you will hardly accept the guidance of light beings’ thoughts which try to direct you towards spiritual things and would like to induce you to turn away from this world’s goods, to recognize them as transient and to strive for imperishable goods. But you have to go through this world in order to overcome matter, for you shall become free from it, you shall leave earth as spiritualised, for this is your goal. My help for you now consists of the fact that I repeatedly make you aware of the transience of earthly goods, that I often also take from you that to which your heart is particularly attached, not in order to inflict suffering on you as a result, but through such suffering you shall come to the right realisation: that everything passes away, that everything has no value for eternity …. Only when you learn to recognize the true value or unvalue of material goods will you detach your heart from them and strive for more valuable possessions which remain with you and which you can take over into the kingdom of the beyond. Yet you lack one thing and therefore only think purely earthly …. That is the belief in a continuation of life after the death of your body. Only your earthly body can die, precisely because it is matter, but what animates the body …. the soul …. cannot die, it can only leave your material shell, and then it can be poor or rich when it enters the kingdom of the beyond. And you yourselves prepare this lot for your soul during earthly life. Its purely earthly attitude puts the soul into an extremely miserable state which it will one day feel bitterly and ruefully remember the unused earthly time as soon as it has a small glimmer of realisation. But in earthly life you can also gather riches for the soul if you learn to overcome earthly matter and think of the soul spiritually, if you direct your thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, which is your true home. And believe it, you will easily and joyfully leave this earth when the hour of your departure has come; matter will not hold you back and you will gladly detach yourselves from everything that belongs to earth. And because a far more beautiful life then awaits you I am only ever concerned to make you overcomers of the earthly world and its goods, to help you recognize their worthlessness and to free you from things to which you chain your heart and which nevertheless can easily signify a danger for you, that you forget your spiritual striving over them, that you still pay the tribute to My adversary which he demands from you. Earthly life is short but the whole of eternity lies ahead of you, and you can easily forfeit a glorious life in eternity for the sake of this short earthly lifetime because you misjudge earthly goods, because you attach a value to them which they do not possess. And thus you have an explanation why fate sometimes hits you hard by taking what you love, be it people or earthly possessions, because I only want to direct your thoughts to spiritual things which will compensate you a thousand fold for earthly losses and for earthly suffering of all kinds. Everything is a blessing if it is able to detach your senses from worldly possessions, and I will truly reward you abundantly with spiritual possessions for every voluntary renunciation, and one day you will be very grateful to Me that I helped you to become free from material desires and cravings and that you were able to enter the spiritual kingdom unencumbered by such …. Everything that belongs to the world is still an obstacle on the path to Me, therefore you should overcome such obstacles and cast off all desire in order to be able to enter your true home freely and light-heartedly in order to be allowed to be eternally blissful there, as is your destiny ….

Amen

Feeding souls with the right food ….

B.D. 8491 from May 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Your soul must constantly receive the bread of heaven, it must draw the living water from the spring if it wants to recover and mature, for it needs nourishing food and a revitalising drink …. And I am always ready to give it this nourishment if only you come to My table to take supper with Me, if only you always find yourselves where I offer you food and drink …. if you listen to Me as I speak to you. And My gifts will never be sparse but you may take in abundance what My fatherly love offers you …. For you must not let your soul go hungry and only think of your body, for it is transient but the soul is everlasting, and therefore its condition shall be improved as long as you live on earth. And when I Myself give you food and drink it means that I Myself speak to you, that you listen to My word which teaches you love …. And if you now follow My word so that you are not only hearers but doers, then your soul will revive, it will mature and reach perfection for the purpose of which it lives on earth as a human being. But how do you want to fulfil your earthly task if you only pay attention to what serves your body’s well-being …. you only live in the world and completely neglect your spiritual task ….? Your soul will leave the body in the same state as it entered it, it will enter the kingdom of the beyond miserable and meagre, for it had to live in want during its earthly life and was therefore unable to mature. It was deprived of nourishment, it never came to My table to be fed and watered by Me, it passed by all gifts of grace without making use of them, and one day it will bitterly regret this …. Yet I cannot force you humans, I can only instruct you and ensure that you take notice of My word, that you hear My address one day, that the great gift of grace is offered to you one day, which you now only need to use …. Your pilgrimage is long and you will often sink down on the path without strength and long for proper refreshment and then you should also give it to your soul, and truly, you will continue your earthly path strengthened and time and again go to the spring in order to strengthen and refresh yourselves anew …. And once you have been My guests, whom I Myself was able to feed with My word, with the true bread of heaven, you will soon no longer enjoy any other food, for you will feel the benefit of food which your soul needs and never want to miss it. And then you will no longer need to worry that you will not be able to fulfil your earthly task. For you will be powerful and comply with My will, your soul will constantly join Me more and more, and in the heartfelt bond it will receive ever more strength, it will completely transform itself into love and become again what it was in the beginning: a divine being which, in full possession of light and strength and freedom, can work and create in My kingdom …. And therefore you humans should always abide by My word, you should desire to hear Me and open your ears and hearts so that I can give you what you need …. For My word is the right nourishment which comes from heaven, without which your soul can never recover, for it is still weak and imperfect at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being, and it shall mature and perfect itself during earthly life. And where I Myself now open up a spring from which the living water …. My word …. flows out, there the soul can and will also be able to refresh itself at any time. For this spring is still pure and clean, the water of life is not yet exposed to contamination, it flows brightly and clearly and has a revitalising effect on the soul which refreshes itself from it. And if you humans receive My word directly you need not fear any contamination either, you will receive knowledge from Me in utmost truth which signifies light for you, which breaks through the darkness in which you humans live like a ray as long as you don’t let Me kindle such a light for you. Do not walk in the night but seek to reach the light of day …. Do not accept all kinds of food but let yourselves be fed and watered by Me Myself, and do not shy away from the path to the source if you want to be sure to receive unadulterated spiritual knowledge which is truth because it originates from Me Myself …. And truly, your earthly path will not be an idle one, you will strive towards the goal and also come ever closer to it, for I Myself call you to My table, I invite you as My guests to take supper with Me, and I will truly offer you the right food and the right drink, I will nourish your souls so that they need not starve ….

Amen

With God no thing is impossible ….

B.D. 8492 from May 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

As long as your faith is not yet rock solid I can only ever work on you within the framework of the natural, that is, I cannot let anything unusual happen which would now force you to believe …. And therefore I often hold back although everything is possible for Me and there is nothing I cannot remedy. The faith in you must be so strong that you will not let the slightest doubt arise in you, then even an unusual working on you will no longer harm you, you will only feel an ever deeper love for Me …. I can do anything, nothing is impossible for My might, and I also want to make you, My children, happy and grant your requests if only you present them to Me with complete trust and let go of all doubt in you about My love or My might. Yet there will always be a small doubt in your hearts unless you are so deeply united with Me through love that all doubt is eliminated …. But I also know what serves you, and therefore you should surrender to Me and My will, and truly, I will reward you for your devotion …. And you will praise and glorify Me and serve Me on earth already and one day in eternity. Everything you encounter during your earthly life has been planned from eternity, for I have also known about your spiritual development since eternity and constantly seek to increase and promote it. And I often have to use the strangest means, for it not only concerns your own soul but also that of your fellow human beings who surround you and always one person shall mature in the other …. And thus they, too, must not be forced into faith, instead, they, too, must first have matured to such an extent that they will also accept unusual experiences as a matter of course through the strength of their faith. And since faith grows in accordance with a person’s activity of love, love is a prerequisite, and this has to be cultivated first if I am to be able to make an unusual appearance, but then nothing is impossible for Me …. Strong faith is necessary in the coming time, for only someone who has a deep spiritual bond with Me, which is the result of love, will also be able to endure the adversities of the coming time because he constantly draws strength from Me and is also convinced that I am always ready to help. And again I say to you: Through love you unite with Me and can therefore also withstand all adversity, you will be able to overcome every weakness and ward off every enemy, because I Myself always stand by your side and guide you through all hardships of life. If only you make an effort to shape your nature into love you need not fear anything, no matter what may come upon you, for then your faith will also increase in strength, and then you will be able to achieve and do everything because you possess the strength for it which love and faith earn you. You are only powerless as long as you have not yet reached your original being. But if you live a life of love then the reformation of your nature will take place and you will soon be full of strength, your faith in Me and My might will increase, and if you then address a request to Me you will also be fully convinced that I will grant it to you. For I want to show you My love in order to gain all your love, so that the unification can then also take place again, which results in a complete radiating of love, and then you will also have achieved the deification of your being, which is the purpose and goal of your earthly life as a human being. Every thought you turn to Me causes Me to send you a ray of love, and therefore you should often unite with Me in thought or prayer, and My strength will constantly flow into you and cause you to work with love again, and that also means constant unity with Me as the Eternal Love …. it also means constantly increasing faith which is unshakeable in the end and enables you to persevere until the end, to overcome all adversities of the coming time in order to then receive the reward and be able to be transferred to the new earth …. For then you will be able to experience even the most inconceivable things without danger to your soul, because then you will know that nothing is impossible for Me ….

Amen

Completion is also possible in a short time ….

B.D. 8493 from May 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

And however you may be constituted …. you all still have the opportunity to perfect yourselves on this earth as long as you seriously strive for it. The firm will to fulfil your earthly task will also motivate you to pray heartily that I will grant you strength to do so, and truly, you will not address this request to Me in vain …. You will receive strength in great measure and My grace will pour out upon you and you will feel urged to work with love …. And then your transformation of being will begin and you will come ever closer to Me in order to unite with Me one day …. But this firm will must first be present, and it can be stimulated by all kinds of causes …. Strokes of fate can also lead you to think differently than before, you can be prompted by fellow human beings to think about the meaning and purpose of life, you can be driven by your fellow human beings’ adversity to unselfish neighbourly love, and all this can rightly direct your will to come to Me and establish the bond with Me, and then you will already be seized by Me and receive all help to reach your goal. This is why you should not always regard difficult times as misfortune, for they can bring about a change in your thinking more quickly, and you can make spiritual progress in a short time, always in accordance with your will to love, which can be stimulated in times of adversity and now the change of your nature back to love can take place. And truly, you can achieve the same success in a short time which other people can achieve in a far longer time if they go through earthly life more indifferently, certainly making an effort to always live and think right and righteously but lacking the strength which an activity of love earns them. Their maturing process requires far more time, whereas such maturing can also come about in a very short time if the human being’s will seriously strives for it. But it always has to be the drive from within, not the prospect of reward, because then the works of love can no longer be called unselfish. Yet every person who has the serious will to perfect himself will also have enough opportunities for love work …. And the bond with Me will thereby become ever more intimate, his soul will feel where it came from and that the spiritual kingdom is its true home, and it will consciously strive towards this kingdom, it will detach itself from the world, and with the turning away from the earthly world the desire for the spiritual kingdom will also become stronger, and all danger of being linked to the earthly world again will be over, it will have safely escaped the new banishment and therefore need no longer fear the end either …. For this reason all this shall also be held up to people time and again, through you, My servants, they shall gain knowledge about themselves and the meaning and purpose of their earthly existence. You can only impart the knowledge to them, for they have to muster the faith in it themselves …. But if they remain without any knowledge then only a life of love can put them into the state that they will be mentally taught by the beings of light, and then they will also travel their earthly path in accordance with My will, for love imparts the knowledge to them. However, since love has grown cold amongst people the knowledge has to be conveyed to them from outside, which can happen truthfully through you since you receive it directly from Me. And such true knowledge can also have the effect that the human being will mentally take a stand on it and thereby turn his will towards Me and seriously seek the bond with Me. And where there is only the slightest prospect that a person will still change, every possibility to achieve this change will also be exhausted …. and all of you who want to be of service to Me can contribute to this, because through you fellow human beings’ thinking can be directed into the spiritual realm, which is necessary first, because no-one in the world can attain this realisation that he should strive towards the spiritual kingdom in order to fulfil the meaning and purpose of earthly life. As the human being now attunes himself to knowledge which is conveyed to them by you, he is free to …. But you should undauntedly do your work in My vineyard and I will support you in every way, for time is approaching its end and it shall still be well used for the salvation of erring souls which only see the world and therefore are also in danger of falling prey to this world, i.e. to matter. Yet the possibility of a soul’s transformation still exists until the end, because I pursue it with My love until the end and it only needs to give up its resistance in order to be seized by Me, and then it will be saved for time and eternity ….

Amen

Gift of grace before the end …. Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 8494 from May 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

I will pour out an abundance of grace in the last days before the end, for people are in need of it; they require much support in order to still be able to cover the last stretch of their earthly path successfully. And many people will even have to be guided onto the right path first and they, too, will require help for this, for they are still on the path into the abyss and have to be called back and guided correctly. Every means used by Me before the end is a means of grace, for people themselves do nothing to prevent it, they travel their earthly path indifferently and therefore don’t deserve any help, since they still rather resist than accept help. Yet I love all My living creations and don’t want even one of them to go astray …. I don’t want them to languish in a wretched state for an infinitely long time again …. And this is why I will temper justice with mercy …. I will leave no stone unturned to save them before the end. And I also know what will help every individual person; I know what is suitable to guide him onto the right path. And this is what I will use without, however, compelling the human being’s will, for he has to make a free decision. But it will be made easy for him, for the means of grace will be brought to him so visibly that he will also be able to recognise them as such.

Time and again the human being’s attention is pointed to the spiritual kingdom …. Time and again he is approached by death in some form or other, he experiences it in his surroundings by having to let go of people who are very dear to him, and he hears of various kinds of death. He will always be reminded of his own fleeting nature and can then reflect on thoughts about what comes after death …. His thoughts will be directed towards the spiritual kingdom, since they often also follow the deceased and thus give rise to such questions as: Where are they now? Have they completely ceased to be? Or is there a prospect of meeting again? …. And then time and again spirit guides, to whose protection people are entrusted, will intervene by trying to influence them and giving them an explanation …. They make it possible for such people to receive knowledge of My Word, which is directly transmitted to earth, or they let them come across books which will offer them clarification, they do everything to direct their thoughts to the kingdom which is their true home and which they will enter when they pass away from this world …. And the departed, too, exert an influence from the beyond by constantly entering their thoughts which, to a certain extent, will establish a connection from the spiritual to the physical world. My measure of grace is inexhaustible and everyone would be able to take advantage of it, if only they were willing to do so.

That is why I let My Word be heard, for whoever hears and accepts it will truly make use of the greatest gift of grace which certainly will also bring him the right result, which will help his soul to mature and let him reach his goal while he is still on earth, so that he will find Me and enter into union with Me, which then will also assure his perfection …. For it is important that the human being establishes his bond with Me before his soul leaves the body, before the hour of departure from this earth has come …. As soon as he has recognised and acknowledged Me he will not get lost, for then he will take the path to the cross, to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, he will recognise Me in Him and thus will also have taken the path to Me. And then he will have been saved from the adversary for good, for Jesus Christ will deliver him from his bondage; Jesus has taken his guilt upon Himself and opened for him the path to the Father …. Jesus and I are one …. To realise this is the guarantee of return for the once fallen spirits to Me, and for that reason I will always provide people with the information through My Word, that is why My Word is the greatest and most effective gift of grace which I can still offer humanity before the end, and blessed is he who accepts it, for he will truly not go astray anymore …. There is not much time left, and the battle for the souls is fiercely waged on part of the darkness …. But I, too, Am fighting for you, My living creations, and I will help you, so that you, who will settle this battle, will make the right decision, so that you will take the path to Jesus Christ, in Whom I became a human being Myself in order to redeem you …. Make use of this immensely merciful act of Redemption through Jesus Christ and, truly, you will be victorious and delivered from the one who wants to destroy you ….

Amen

Explanation about re-incarnation …. Jesus and Salvation ….

B.D. 8495 from May 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

It is completely misguided to assume a return to earth in order to atone for the guilt of sin, although God’s law of divine justice demands compensation for all guilt …. Yet there are truly many possibilities open to Me, so that one day all guilt will surely be redeemed and the being can be admitted into the kingdom of light and bliss again, which is closed to it in the state of guilt. The kingdom of the beyond, into which the soul enters after the death of its body, corresponds to its degree of maturity, hence it can either stay in utter darkness or in brightest light and as a result its fate will either be an agonising or a glorious one.

And both the torments as well as the splendours are indescribable and impossible to explain to you humans, and therefore the torments …. thus the fate of the unredeemed, sinful souls, can be dreadful and the soul consequently often suffers beyond imagination for its guilt or for the sake of its guilt, thus with its suffering it also makes

Amends for much of its guilt. And its state of suffering can last an infinitely long time if it is incorrigible, if it refuses to accept advice from the spiritual guides who want to help it out of its misery. For it cannot enter the kingdom of light until it has redeemed its guilt …. as far as it concerns the sins it has committed on earth ….

But since the original sin of its apostasy from God is far greater and this guilt can never be redeemed by the being itself, the human being on earth or his soul in the beyond irrevocably has to find Jesus Christ, for He alone is able to deliver it from this guilt for which He died on the cross …. Without Jesus Christ the soul will never be free from its guilt, even if it languishes for ages in the darkness of the beyond …. Thus it has to call upon Jesus for mercy, for forgiveness of its guilt, and time and again its spiritual helpers will try to persuade it to seek salvation in Him, Who sacrificed His life for this guilt.

And if the soul hands itself over to Him, then its original sin as well its guilt of sin committed on earth will be redeemed …. Then it will be free from all guilt and for the sake of Jesus’ blood will be accepted in the kingdom of light and bliss …. If, however, the soul is so obstinate that it will not turn to Him despite all efforts by the beings of light trying to help, it will descend ever lower, its torments will be immeasurable, and if it still doesn’t succeed in lifting itself up from hell …. which even then is still possible with the light beings’ help …. it will have to take the path through the works of creation again in order to sooner or later reach its goal after all …. Yet this return to earth is not the soul’s re-incarnation as you humans assume, and it is also all but desirable, because once again it is an infinitely long state of agony for the soul, having been dissolved into the tiniest of particles, until it reaches the stage of a human being again ….

You humans have to be told time and again that you will never be released from your guilt without Jesus Christ. This is why Jesus’ act of Salvation is so significant, because He alone is the gate to the kingdom of light …. For even if your immense torment in the beyond makes

Amends for the guilt of sin which you committed on earth …. you will nevertheless be unable to enter the kingdom of light without redemption from your original sin by Jesus Christ …. And similarly, even a repeated life on earth would be of no use to you, because you would add new guilt and first have to find Jesus, Whom you can also find in the beyond …. hence you don’t need to return to earth again ….

Time and again I draw your attention to this misguided teaching, because you thereby also devalue the act of Salvation, because by way of this misguided teaching you try to convince your fellow human beings that you are able to remove the guilt by yourselves, and thus you bypass Jesus, but without Whom you can never be delivered from your original sin, which cannot be redeemed even through the greatest agony on earth or in the beyond. Let yourselves become convinced of the importance of taking the path to the cross, and don’t deceive yourselves with false hopes by which you will only prolong your unredeemed state and languish for an infinitely long time in darkness, for He alone is the light Which descended to earth, Which brought you salvation from sin and death, if only you would voluntarily appeal to Him for forgiveness of your guilt, if only you didn’t rely on being able to cope with your guilt in further earthly lives and through such belief only ever prolong the state of darkness and suffering, for without Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation you will never attain light, freedom and beatitude …. without Jesus Christ you will never be delivered from your guilt ….

Amen

Every man must answer for himself ….

B.D. 8496 from May 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

The human being has to take responsibility for his earthly way of life, for his speech, thinking and actions, for he has received the gift of intellect, the gift of thinking, from Me and can therefore also weigh everything up as far as it corresponds to My will …. This applies in particular to his attitude towards the teachings which are supplied to him on the part of fellow human beings, which touch spiritual areas …. Because as soon as something is presented to him earthly he also adjusts his thoughts to it and accepts or rejects, and that often with great eagerness, as soon as he expects some advantages from it. Man is able to think and is now also to use this ability. And if spiritual material is now supplied to him, he should also subject it to an examination in order to be able to accept or reject it justifiably …. But then he should not just rely on his fellow human being’s advice but take a stand on it himself, for he himself will have to answer for it, and then he will not be able to pass the blame on to his fellow human being who advised him to think and act the way he did …. Every man bears responsibility for himself …. because every man can think …. And if he is not sure of the correctness of his thinking, then he should take the way to Me Myself, but not rely on the fellow human being, whose thinking can be just as wrongly directed …. And a great injustice is committed by the man who believes himself called to have an effect on fellowman, that he imposes his views on him …. so that the latter is to accept without contradiction what the latter offers him. A person can certainly be instructed, but he must always be free to accept these instructions, for the person himself must decide and be responsible for his decision, but he cannot pass on the responsibility to those who have instructed him, and they must never determine a person to accept the teachings. Freedom of will is the great factor, which is determining for the perfection of a man. And every curtailing of free will is a wrong, a sin, which I cannot accept without demanding retribution for it …. And again it must be pointed out that on the part of a teacher first the commandments of love are to be emphasized and only the fulfilment of these commandments is to be demanded, because then man’s thinking will also recognize brightly and clearly what is true and right and man then decides for it of his own accord …. But to accept a teaching but to eliminate a life of love can never lead to spiritual success …. even if that teaching corresponds to truth …. But unloving people will never be able to pass judgement where truth and where error is …. And that is why ultimately not the intellect of man decides, but the love of the heart …. Where this is missing no right judgment will be able to be passed, but then also the acceptance of a teaching without contradiction is of no use, for it is completely worthless for the soul …. That is why I first demand the mental opinion about that spiritual material, which is imparted to a man from outside. And if the teaching of love is now presented to him and he also thinks about it, then already a small light can be kindled in him, and he can make an effort to live out love …. And this alone brings the soul to maturity …. Who therefore seeks to stimulate his fellowmen to love, he will be blessed by me. But who imparts spiritual knowledge to them with the demand to accept and acknowledge it without contradiction, he does not act in My will, because he causes fellowmen to think inertly and these now believe to be relieved of their responsibility, to be able to pass it on to those who taught them. One day this excuse will not be valid before Me because I have endowed all men with the gift of the ability to think and this is now also to be used when it is about the salvation of souls, especially then when you eagerly think of everything earthly whether and how it could be of use for you. No man once takes the responsibility from you, therefore also give no man the right to have a determining effect on you when it is about the welfare of your souls. Because also about this a light is given to you by Me when you listen to My word, which sounds to you from above, which I send to all who are of good will ….. I will do no compulsion to you; I will always just explain everything to you and give reasons, but always leave it up to you to accept or reject My word. Because I want that you perfect yourselves on earth. And therefore I also want to enlighten you about everything wrong, so that you do not let yourselves be determined to think and act in the will of fellowman, but to first check yourselves whether and how you act and think right before me, who has created you so that every man must also bear the responsibility for himself and his soul’s salvation.

Amen
