Father words ….Love …. Appearance …. Participation of those in the hereafter ….

B.D. 0424 from May 18th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Behold My child, in a short time you will see Me in the light …. you will be blinded by the light and your eyesight will be taken away for a few moments, but in your heart a flame will ignite that will never be extinguished. Thus I will draw near to My children whose hearts desire Me. See, it is so difficult for you to recognize only because all your longing cannot yet be found in the image of your Savior …. For the time of your earthly existence you are still held captive by an indefined trembling. You cannot yet comprehend the actual essence of love …. everything is still undissolved in you, and when love is not yet recognized for what it actually is, also the heart will not be able to free itself from the heaviness of the earth.

My will never allows a violent ignition of love …. it must be quietly drawn into the heart and yet anchor itself so firmly in it …. It has an oversized power, which it draws from the Divine Love …. Desire and fulfillment are one, because God gives unceasingly where His nearness is longed for. My child, let your eyes see what will make you happy forever …. Let your truth-hungry heart refresh itself with spiritual light …. The food shall be offered to it fully, and body and soul shall be refreshed ….

What shall man still desire, if he once enjoyed the favor of the Savior? …. What you then feel in the heart, will lift you above all earthly things …. And this moment will let you recognize the oversized love of the Father for His children …. and if this has become understandable to you, then there is no more fear …. neither about faith nor about love …. Then everything, everything will be only a proof of eternal grace ….

All those who are well-disposed towards you in the hereafter look forward to this act of grace with joy, they know that you have been accepted into the chosen circle of those who serve God on earth …. they desire to care for you constantly, and for their work they hope for a supporting power in you, if you, blessed by the love of the Lord, surrender to your office …. They all want to take care that your spiritual work progresses and has a successful effect on all who hear you. To possess the heart of the Savior …. To be made happy by His love is the most precious gift that the Father can give to His children, because in possession of this love, all life in this earthly valley will appear miraculously lovely to them. Their own spirit will unfold and only always strive for union with the Father-Spirit, because everything unites in Divine love.

The farther work will become easy for you, if only love dwells in your heart. So prepare this your heart that it may receive Him who will offer you an unspeakable happiness and receive you to Himself …. Who wants to take you into His Divine heart and teach you love …. The eternal sun will then rise in you and fill you completely with it’s mild light, it’s warmth and bright shine and only then will you realize that the greatest wonder is love …. Therefore, My child, take not of when the Divine Being approaches you and receive Him deeply, humbly and in holy faith, and offer Him your heart willingly and without restraint, then you will be filled with fervent love-power and your faith will strengthen ….

Amen

Shaping the youth …. Intervention by God ….

B.D. 0425 from May 20th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

You will be faced with a task that requires great willpower to solve, and therefore it should be strengthened again and again through our teachings. Thus today the Saviour has given you a teaching that refers to the inner development of all political measures, which have the sole purpose of strengthening power but depriving the people of all their freedom. These are the measures that are used in order to fully get hold of the youth.

Just in these times, where the young person should reflect on his inner life …. where he should begin to look at nature in a Divine sense …. where he should learn to look at all the wonderful things in the world with spiritual eyes …. It is precisely during this time that he is called upon to perform mechanical exercises that suffocate or atrophy all spirituality in him …. A world-view is forced upon them, the whole purpose of which is to eliminate everything of the future from their thought-life, that could have a positive effect on the refinement of the soul ….

They start with the idea of forming a completely new line of thought …. this results in a degeneration of all spiritual thinking …. The train of thought of the youth will only move in those areas that are much more in accordance with the trivial demands on the youth …. but they can never bring the maturity of the soul. Because the youth knows nothing of a soul and it’s destiny, or sees such an enlightenment only as a fable, to which a person of the present time do not need to pay any attention, the task which is placed today on the youth, misses the spiritual sense completely ….

Everything that is striven for is only development for the earthly life, but not in the least a promoting influence on the spiritual constitution of the young person. The still existing reasoning is remodeled without consideration …. the responsible youth leaders consider their work full of satisfaction, consisting of a completely earthly shaping of the youthful soul, but blocks the way to the free search for the truth and deprives it of every opportunity to find or strive for food beneficial to the spirit. How are these earthly children to be guided …. how is the work to be accomplished in them, which opens another direction of thought for them ….

Depending on the length of time, these people take root in a soil that is not very suitable for developing of the right spirit. On the contrary, they will use everything to expose any teaching that bears witness to God and to the descent of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, to earth for the purpose of the redemption of mankind. They will strive to present this His teaching – which should be the most holy for all – to be completely invented, and this is the worst time for the youth, which should be opposed with all power and will. And the Lord will therefore also with this, pull up the lever ….

He will also bring judgment against those who are up to such a deforming of the youth …. Where should God’s love reveal itself more vividly than with those who are entrusted to Divine love and whom the enemy is now trying to wrest …. The Lord does not let go of them so easily …. He will protect the young mind …. He will also put the question into their hearts: What is the purpose of the whole earthly existence in the nature of man? …. And with the help of the Lord, this question will not be lightly dismissed. But this question will be answered in their minds, and the systematic extermination of all spiritual experience will suffer a strong blow through the will of the Lord.

And then …. take note, you unbelievers, how ever more strongly the impulse will become apparent in the youth to recognize a higher Being …. take notice that an ever stronger resistance will make itself felt and finally demands freedom for all inner life …. Because God does not forsake those who remember Him, and will especially take care of the youth, so that they do not suffer harm to their souls. Therefore wait for the time which is no longer far away and will free you from the gagging of the spirit …. Because all this happens in the will of the Lord, who will gather His children around Himself, to give them knowledge of their actual purpose, so that they may pursue it and escape the banishment of the world through it.

Amen

The sages of antiquity ….

B.D. 0426 from May 21st 1938, taken from Book No. 9

The greatest sages of the world were hidden in antiquity, and yet the laws of creation were closed to them as a book with seven seals …., like the secret code that inspired posterity to think diligently and yet could not be deciphered. As versatile as their knowledge was, the eternal problem between God and humans was unsolvable to them …. an enigmatic veil covered everything that reached into the mystical …. Even the wise Socrates completely wrongly concluded that there were undeniable natural forces, which, however, acted from within themselves, uninfluenced by any power that determined them ….

The Divine work as such and the conscious ability to serve this Divinity was, according to the opinion of these sages, something completely unproven and had to be denied, because in no epoch of time was the urge for truth stronger than in that very time of the sages. At that time God also awakened people who at certain intervals brought a glimmer of light among their peers and expressed themselves as follows: that the world with all that lives and exists witnesses to the work of a Deity and that this Deity expresses Itself in all life …. from the smallest creature up to man ….

The opponents could not argue against such wisdom, since they very clearly recognized the extraordinary power inherent in those who proclaimed the truth. This power was always used where people were in danger of being subject to a complete supremacy of matter …. In times of deep spiritual blindness, when spiritual night surrounded mankind, a ray of light broke through again and the Lord found His way into the hearts of the people. Thus each epoch has also felt the nearness of the Lord on earth, both before and after the great work of redemption of Christ ….

At all times, only few remain devoted to the Divine Lord and Master in such a way that they are able to hear the voice of the Lord. But these have always been blessed at all times. By the will of an earthly child showing such a readiness which is expressed in receiving Divine communications, the truths of the eternal creation was made accessible to people on earth, and therefore the earth did not remain unconsidered since antiquity …. it was always and eternally the same …. Brightness of spirit is given to those researching the deepest depths of their hearts, and the eternal Godhead was also always recognized by these, although this truth could not be passed on as a teaching, but had to be recognized again and again by each person himself.

So still a number of beings have attained spiritual maturity at all times, which now again and again continuously teach the children on earth and let them receive every suggestion to also seek and research in the heart for the eternally immutable and all-wise ruling Deity ….

Amen

Undermining the teaching of Christ ….

B.D. 0427 from May 22nd 1938, taken from Book No. 9

The Lord’s vision goes far ahead, and the threads of fate run together everywhere into eternity. Put the axe to the roots of a tree, and you inevitably have to cut down the whole tree …. and in the same way a whole building will collapse if you would break down the foundation walls …. and where work is constantly being done to undermine the building of God, which is the teaching of Jesus Christ …., there the whole of humanity must inevitably perish, because eternal life is based on this teaching alone ….

What once the Lord and Master clearly expressed to mankind, was the constant commandment to follow all His teachings. During the time when He walked on earth, His teachings accompanied and supported countless miracles and gave the unbelievers visible knowledge of the fact that God’s Being and supreme power hid Himself in the human shell of Jesus and spoke through it to the people.

A work as powerful as the teachings revealed to mankind through Jesus could never be the work of a human …. the Divine power of His words, combined with the deepest love for the people, testifies to the fact that it was the Lord Himself who spoke to the people …. and such a work, the Word of God …. which existed from eternity and will remain in eternity …. shall now be destroyed through the will of man …. The world itself will rather fall apart before mankind would accomplish this ….

And where someone nevertheless wants to lend a hand and will try to tackle the work of destruction, there he will rob himself of the vital nerve and slowly perish both psychologically and physically. For would you then fight against the Lord with your own hands and not be defeated? Like false friends, you will be advised by those who think they are justified in having an enlightening effect on this earthly life.

These are themselves so selfish beyond all measure that they also seek their own benefit in this striving …. that they themselves presumptuously issue commandments in an unmistakably calculating sense …. that they furthermore selfishly want to make people understand that God Himself never gives Himself to the earthly beings to recognize, except through the visible activity of nature …. a people spiritually impressed like this, rendering the connection of God with humans through Jesus Christ only credible in such a way, will be robbed of the power of their own will and the energy of this people would be weakened for unforeseeable times.

However, this view will presently not allow for unlimited power, for the people would rather keep the commandments of God in mind if they believe …. and they would live strictly according to them. But this would then be a disadvantage for the earthly rulers who want to dominate everything …. it would set a sure limit to their power. They therefore seek to present all Divine work as an earthly illusion in order to campaign against it. According to Divine counsel, Divine teaching must endure this admission in order to rise again purified and with renewed strength – and to assert itself all the more strongly in distant future times. And whoever shall lay hands on the word of God, shall perish in body and soul. But His Word will remain unchanged until all eternity ….

Amen

Explanatory note to no. 410 ….

B.D. 0428 from May 23rd 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Thus walking on earth is nothing more than a transition into the eternal regions, and again and again it is man himself who determines his own condition in those regions. If he has spent his life on earth in constant striving for spiritual goods, he will never have to fear that life in the other world will be a burden for him …. he will never have to fear the hour of death and will only leave the valley of the earth to swap it for heavenly realms, which will appear incomparably lovely to him.

But the inner return to God must have taken place …. the union with the highest Being must have preceded if man is to reach this state of mind, which guarantees him a complete dissolving of his covering. In the other case, however, the human shell will not separate so easily from the soul …. Although the soul has left it’s earthly body, it is still not free ….

The spirit’s covering still clings to it …. it is not completely free, but still prevented by the same fetters as on earth to be able to swing freely up into higher regions, and this state will then be the same as the state on earth, because the soul in the beyond still walks in the same ignorance and obduracy …. it is often unconscious that it has already left the earthly valley …. Therefore your spirit always finds the sphere equal to itself, and when the soul has already reached the state of maturity on earth, then it also, at the time of bodily death, immediately enters light-filled spheres ….

It then does not first have to go the endlessly long way of struggle in the hereafter, which is similar that of the earth, but cannot be overcome as easily as on earth. Do not fall therefore into the temptation to believe that over there the possibility still remains for you to mature the soul …. This is far more difficult, and unspeakably remorseful is the recognition of the unused time on earth. So it is always more advisable to remember the hereafter with horror as an unfinished being and then to restlessly strive for the greatest possible perfection already on earth, than to indulge in inertia in the hope that one can make up for what has been missed here ….

Life on earth with all it’s misery and suffering is nothing compared to the struggle of such imperfect souls in the hereafter; for you are not given such possibilities as on earth …. Your struggle will be far more difficult until all human earthly things have completely separated from your spirit and then your spirit has reached the degree that it can be absorbed into a new kingdom of light. Thus it is to be understood that the state of the human is passed on to the soul until it has reached the degree of maturity determined for it ….

Amen

Love ….

B.D. 0429 from May 23rd 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Those who love Me are in My grace …. My child, in your heart the embers that have Me at their center, have not yet been kindled …. The fire of love is a very tiny flame for the children on earth, to whom the highest and holiest is still hidden …. for those who have not yet grasped Me in My whole Being. As much as the intimacy with which I draw all who are Mine to My heart is still unknown to you, so also is the power of My love still unknown to you, and when this will expresses itself, heaven and earth will be opened to you, and love will ignite in you with such violence that you would almost believe yourself to have perished ….

Such a desire for your Redeemer will befall you that life on earth seems unbearable to you and you no longer demand anything but to be united with Me. And then it is to show itself whether you are able to bring Me a sacrifice …. whether you are content for the time on earth with the consciousness of My love turned towards you and want to be active for Me on earth for the sake of this love when your time has come …. I will not, never ever leave you and am with you always, but you must first acquire on earth that measure which is to bring you the highest reward in eternity …. the sonship of God with all rights handed down from the Father and most indescribable bliss.

If you want to carry this life on earth, I will give you strength through My love …. but you must first recognize who I am, only then will you be able to love Me, as all My children are to love Me …. You, My child on earth, walk in such exceedingly gracious ways, and portals will be opened to you, which will reveal to you much hidden things …. You walk in the light and seek Me daily and hourly …. I will let you find Me, and I will open the sight of Your eyes for you, that they may know Me, that thou may henceforth love Me with all the heat that thy heart is able of …. I must first completely take hold of you ….

I must let your desire for Me become ever greater …. only then will I quench your thirst and come to you Myself …. and awaken in you the holiest feeling …. burning, irredeemable love, which lasts until all of eternity. Those who seek Me will find Me …. and those who want to serve Me are not to rule, yet nothing is possible without love, because it alone brings you closer to eternity. So desire only warmly and dearly to know Me, and I will answer your prayer and give you a taste of heaven’s bliss, so that you may eternally desire nothing else but to live and die for your Saviour ….

Amen

Infinity …. Eternity …. Size of the work of creation …. Creative spirits ….

B.D. 0430 from May 24th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

The heavens praise the eternal glory …. The world is, spiritually speaking, an edifice of unimagined greatness and power, for the Lord has created everything on such a scale that millions upon millions of beings are lost in it as nothing …. Often the opinion is held that in view of this immeasurable size the army of creating spirits has only a limited effect …. that therefore this infinity is not everywhere created with beings and their necessary environment, that this creation of God is rather a further completely lifeless space which must only correspond to it’s purpose in many millennia and only then host countless beings ….

The people on earth cannot grasp the enormous size of the work of creation …. just as little the determination of each particle of the universe. Where the Deity works, human comprehension is insufficient to grasp this work in it’s full magnitude. The earth holds only the tiniest part of the beings and creations of God, but infinity has countless such small worlds, all created by God’s power and will …. and not one of them will need to do without the wise guidance and constant care of the Divine Creator; everywhere the Deity is equally active, always again and again training beings, to whom the same strength, power, and willpower is inherent and to whom then the same work is incumbent – to continuously create in the spirit of the eternal Creator.

Thus all walk since eternity in the same law, and this will take its progress into all eternity …. An endless enlivening of all worlds will never let the Divine Creator rest idly, and it will be left to every being to form itself in such a way that it can create and produce in the same way and through this again becomes a part of the eternal Godhead – and thus the same power dwells within it, which is expressed in the miracles of the Divine creation.

Thus the terms infinity and eternity will become more easily comprehensible to you, because an endlessly long time is necessary to reach this state, and again a limit cannot be set by a limited space for the development-potential of the beings …. The voice of the Lord constantly calls out to all these beings, and whoever hears this voice will be a true child of the Father, be with the Father, and will work like Him for eternity ….

Amen

Appearance of the Lord …. Strengthening in suffering …. Suspension Railway ….

B.D. 0431 from May 24th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

See, My child, everywhere My power rules …. every second, innumerable spirit-beings are active, which place themselves into My service for the salvation of the souls of people on earth, and I am before all these with My will, directing and intervening in all events. Who there hears My voice, is a child cared for by Me, which can be sure of My help at any time. You are standing at a time of inner disruption on earth, and this time requires many armed forces which stand up for Me, and only the greatest love for Me enable these fighters to take upon themselves all troubles, which is the lot of My followers.

Then I Myself will appear because they need extraordinary power, which only I Myself can and want to give them. Do not be afraid, you who want to serve Me, your lot will certainly appear difficult to the world, but I Myself keep pain and suffering away from you …. You have Me …. and he who has Me in his heart does not feel any suffering and does not fear bodily death. He longs only for Me and in this love, he can achieve unbelievable things …. This shall be My consolation for you and for your love-desiring heart …. The time is near, and your heart will rejoice when it is fulfilled ….

All of life resembles a suspension railroad …. Where on rugged, uneven slopes often no-one’s feet can pass …. where people are effortlessly transported high above the ground …. which means that the will of the Father also promotes the spirit of those who entrust themselves to Him, where in a natural way a stop is required …. where the spirit is gagged and can hardly find it’s way up. Let the heavenly Father take care in all things ….

His Fatherly love creates paths for you everywhere which lead to Him, if you only pay attention to these paths and shrink back from no danger …. But the essence of the Godhead will remain hidden to no-one who only calls for Me in the heart …. It will be revealed to him to his highest bliss, and from now on fight for the Lord and Saviour, who has taken up My image in himself …. And this fight will be a victorious one, because My fighters are blessed by Me ….

Amen

Recognition in the Hereafter …. Disguise of the light-beings …. Self-reproach ….

B.D. 0432 from May 25th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

At all times you are to remember those who have already long since left the earthly valley and had to enter the hereafter in an immature state. They has indeed landed a hard lot; they cannot find their way in the surroundings granted to them ….. they quarrel with themselves and are so very unhappy, that Love must meet them to redeem them …. i.e. to help them to find the right way out of their darkness also there …. Where now there the soul fights for light, it is guided rightly and inevitably advances.

But the time until recognition is so unspeakably hard for this soul. Here on earth, God gave them grace upon grace, so that they should find themselves in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ …. There they must still, much more from own strength, strive to reach …. i.e. with own will strive for this recognition, because the strength must as yet be supplied to them by the loving activity of the higher spirit-beings or by commemoration in love in prayer on earth. There is such a great difference between a perfect spirit-being and the soul entrusted to it, that out of such fullness of light it would be impossible to charitably influence the soul around which is still the darkest night.

It would inevitably declare the light, but it has to perish under such sudden fullness of light, and a complete purification of the soul would not take place. So the light-being is commanded to accept a disguise, which makes the interaction easier for the poor soul …. And in this garment, which is only slightly lighter than that of the erring soul, the light-spirit achieves to connect with it and now seeks to bring it into recognition of it’s situation …. Many possibilities are offered and described to it, which are useful for the improvement of it’s situation. The soul, which has already become so hopeless in it’s darkness, embraces everything with the most intimate desire to just free itself from the present situation, and so the aspiration after the light begins ….

The condition of such naked souls are often pitiful; they are left to themselves, and remember their failed lives in agony and self-reproach. And an exceedingly great work of love is done on these beings when a little help is brought to them, which people can do so exceedingly easily and abundantly if they remember in prayer these lightless, hard-pressed souls, which on earth, sure out of their own fault rejected all favours offered to them and now exceedingly gratefully accept every smallest help, which makes their situation more bearable for them.

If you want to acquire an extraordinary measure of gratitude, then come to the aid of these souls. They languish in darkness and cannot redeem themselves without it …. and they will also never be admitted to circles of light until they themselves have the firm will to wrestle themselves from darkness with all their strength and striving for bright regions …. And in order to be able to summon up this will from within yourselves, you are to be helpful to these poor beings and, in perpetual concern, remember them in prayer, so that the light may also penetrate there and innumerable beings may be redeemed through love ….

Amen

Closeness of God …. Earthly goods …. Renunciation and sacrifice ….

B.D. 0433 from May 25th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Bring to the Lord all that is dear to you and worthy of you, and you will be allowed to exchange them for far more beautiful things and receive them from His hand. But those who take pleasure in earthly things and do not want to give anything away will also be chained to matter …. They live one day at a time, but their hearts will never find the sweet peace that is only given to those earthly children, who willingly part with everything that is earthly ….

To become worthy of nearness to God, is such priceless goodness that all earthly goods collapse into nothing before it. Blinded by the fictitious goods of the earth, people find it difficult to separate themselves from it; they only always strive to increase these goods, and do not see thereby that the spiritual death accompanies these …. that they are led through a long, dark tunnel, which often have no end during their time on earth ….

The sun, the brightly shining daylight, they carelessly give up for a dazzling work, which however brings their spirit a dark night …. and thus the spiritual death – if humans do not come to the spiritual realization and sacrifice everything for this in order to attain for it the light of the Divine mercy-sun. Heaven’s highest honors will be bestowed on those who never sought honor on earth …. and heaven’s highest pleasure will be their share, who on earth willingly gave up for the sake of the Lord ….

Thus the Lord repays a thousand times what is sacrificed for His sake, and He considers each one according to his deeds on earth …. but each one will have to consider that he does not prefer the goods of the earth to those of eternity …. Because earthly property caters only for the well-being of the body and provides you with purely bodily pleasures …. it gives you reputation only before humans …. for eternity, it is completely worthless, yes far rather obstructive, because it will make the way upward more difficult for you …. but a heart that gives everything and has no joy in earthly possessions and recognizes only the Lord as a desirable possession, will be considered in all fullness in eternity and will increase it’s spiritual possessions and wisely provide for all the needs of the soul, and it will, because it gave, receive unmeasured what will bring it highest bliss ….

Will – Faith – Knowledge ….

B.D. 0434 from May 26th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Only the most perfect being of light will be able to penetrate into the deepest depth of Divine wisdom, but mankind will be granted an extraordinary favour when it is given knowledge of things, which otherwise remain hidden from the world, and this is allowed for the purpose that all those human children to whom the wisdom of God grants a view into infinity, are to find themselves into ever deepening faith. Faith in it’s strength can do everything …. Those who are willing to believe will be helped so that their weak faith will reach the strength of a wall, and only the unbelieving mind will refuse to accept everything that the Lord God dearly offers to His own.

Look at nature, how everything is formed in a regular course according to the will of the Creator and passes away again …. and how many people pass by it carelessly …. All these miracles give them not even an indication of the Divine work. To these, signs of even much greater kind could be given, they would also experience all wonderful things without any impairment of faith as long as there wants to be any human – i.e. earthly – explanation for it. Because what then would force their faith, would be useless for their spiritual progress.

That is why the Lord always chooses the earthly children for His revelations, who are willing to accept …. who want to believe and so the precondition is given for researching in the wisdom of God. These also have to master the doubts wanting to shake the faith again and again as the strongest enemy …. but the will to have faith is stronger, then it will also soon overcome all counter-currents …. and then there will be no borders to investigate the depths of Divine wisdom.

Very few are able to realize to what extent a strong faith helps them to acquire undreamt-of knowledge about things that are hidden from the earthly man who lives without faith …. And that is why the number of those who live in ignorance will always be far greater, because only a small part of mankind is able to penetrate to deep faith. But you have this in your own hands …. it is always prayer that takes you up step by step …. and where you cannot believe deeply and yet are of good will, there pray out of a sincere heart. If you still have faith in the power of prayer, you will be helped …. The help of the Lord and your own will go hand in hand …. And you must achieve what you ask for.

The love of the Lord is so great that it very eagerly fulfills the wishes of the earthly children on earth, when the driving force for these wishes is the will to reach the Lord. And what knowledge is imparted to you, has to form your faith deeper and deeper, and so you reach through the grace of the Lord, knowledge about things which otherwise remained hidden to you, but are imparted through deep faith to everyone who wants to extend his knowledge through Divine wisdom. And what is offered to you is always only an outpouring of Divine grace to make the path of life easier for you who believe – and to make you into beings of light in all reverence and love for the Lord ….

Amen

Agreements from acquaintances ….

B.D. 0435 from May 26th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Do not let your faith in your God be robbed from you …. the Lord and Savior knows better what is necessary for you, and He will therefore never hesitate to intervene by means of His power and to raise up an army of warriors who are to defend His word and His name on earth. This is why the call has gone out to willing children on earth, and the wise followed the call.

The earthly valley accommodates many people who want to extinguish the glimmer of light that shines for them because they shy away from the light and believe they are walking more protected in the darkness. Because the light illuminates too glaringly their errors and weaknesses …. they wrap it with the coat of darkness, then they feel better and can follow the wrong better. Suffering for these humans is if they are made aware on their wrongful life, and they would far rather like to remain in the old condition than to think of a serious transformation of their inner being. Then the greatest light has no ennobling influence; they prefer to withdraw again into their twilight state and are only ever active when it is necessary to achieve earthly success. The spiritual progress of the soul is not particularly important to them ….

But you must resist temptations of this kind. It is not any spoken thoughts that reflects eager reflection, but the contradiction is based only on the concern that constant writing might deprive you of the ability to be active in the same way as up to now. The commandment of charity is to be applied and obeyed, but where will a person who thinks only of himself observe such things ….

And already this love for one’s neighbor should express itself there, then every proclamation would also have the power to penetrate there …. the words of God would have to resound in the hearts and trigger a feeling of well-being, but then people put themselves into a kind of resistance and then turn away inwardly because the truth does not seem quite so bearable to them and they therefore prefer to remain in the previous ignorance where they feel more comfortable. Therefore leave them the will until they confess it of their own accord, but continue to do your duty, asthe heart and love of the Lord commands you …. for the blessing will not fail to come ….

Amen

De-religionizing the State ….

B.D. 0436 from May 27th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

So the people want to initiate an unmistakable de-religionization of the state that will promote every evil. One should always bear in mind that the State must necessarily collapse in itself when the simplest teaching about God and His justice is torn from the hearts of the people. All earthly order is first of all the consequence of the inner order of God. The peoples of all nations know that none of the laws given by the state could be fulfilled if the mentality of this people was not first judged by a doctrine of the God-being above all earthly, so that it complies with a fulfillment of the laws.

A hard being will always resist all desire for a higher power …. Now first transform mankind into compliant, willingly conforming beings, then they will also comply with what is desired of them. And nothing else can make a person as soft and pliable than the doctrine of faith. And so a God-fearing people will also always strive far more to fulfill all earthly laws than a people from whom one has taken away the belief in justification before the eternal Godhead and retribution after death.

Just a brief reference that such people will also soon no more fear an earthly punishment is enough, because in it each sense of responsibility is slowly suffocated …. This depends on the attitude towards God …. a higher being might still be feared, but not an earthly force …. if all faith would be taken from the people in retaliation. Then the passions would rather violently ignite in a human soul, they will want to seize equally unbound elements of all possession or unrestrainedly also destroy everything, because the urge for destruction is far more characteristic of such a faithless being than the urge to preserve ….

The further consequences of such a de-religionization would be that soon there would be no difference between people who are now still differently constituted. Because they would be averse to a supernatural Creator, i.e. they would no longer want to acknowledge Him, soon every soul would also develop only purely materially, there could never be any talk of spiritualization, and there would therefore also be no striving to reach a higher spiritual level …. So everything would remain unchanged soul-wise on earth and be influenced by earth forces and their unfavorable radiations. And the end of these beings would be a complete spiritual death after their earthly death.

But never has any authority been given unlimited power to have such a destructive effect on the soul of the earthly children and for this reason activity will begin in order to make people aware of the dreadful consequences of such a project …. What the peoples of the past had built up in ignorance and complete blindness as the doctrine of Deity, was infinitely more valuable than today’s plan to tamper with an already existing Divine doctrine and try to eradicate it. Oh what misery this earth still has to suffer …. what misery the human children must still endure, so that they again will turn completely to this pure teaching! ….

And what a most evil crime is the planned destruction of this teaching …. to fight against everything that up to now has saved people from evil, if it was only recognized and fulfilled …. the many attempts of the alleged purification of teachings harmful to the people will fail, but what exists since eternity will arise again in clear purity, and cannot perish …. the pure word of Jesus Christ, the truly Divine teaching …. which alone can bring only blessings to mankind and lead them to their true destiny …. to eternal life ….

Amen

Sacrificial works and works of love ….

B.D. 0437 from May 27th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Always do only good, and you will find recompense in Me because you draw Me closer to you with every good deed. It will simultaneously be given to your heart if you want to acquire Divine grace in unlimited measure, only you must always combine love with every good deed …. I regard only good works born in love ….

My dear child, how laboriously an understanding is often reached, that must make you think that your willingness is not always the same. In place of daily prayer you must also sometimes do an act of love, and the strength to receive will flow to you much more easily from this very work. What you people can achieve when you only want to practice love more actively, is so boundless, that you are already blessed by it on earth, but unfortunately you take far too little advantage of the opportunity to obtain such blessings ….

For the heavenly homeland you need so many works of love, because they help you there to enter the Kingdom of God …. Through love you all gain an advantage, but you cannot expect without works of love that the Lord speaks to you as a father speaks to his children, so pay attention to this …. If you offer one sacrifice to the Lord out of love for Him, you will also receive the strength to let others follow this first sacrifice, and your spirit, your faith and your confidence will be strengthened …. You will love the Divine Savior and will hear the words of love through Him.

But it must always be your heart speaking, it must be endeavored in recognition of the Divine truth from extremely noble motives to stop the need and misery of your fellow man, it must always only seek to alleviate suffering, to give peace and to serve …. people on earth and always, the Father in heaven …. Only he who serves, will become great in spirit – and he who exalts himself will be humbled. Only when you strive to serve yourselves in this way do you learn to know the power of love in all it’s effects. You are destined to be allowed to rule a kingdom …. administer and create on earth in moderation according to earthly needs, but take care of the soul without interruption ….

And so you also have to be uninterruptedly active in love because without this, no-one can become perfect and also very little Divine favour can be granted, but favour is so valuable for you and it is so difficult when you miss it, that you therefore have to acquire it through the works of love if you want that the Father in heaven to let you feel His love likewise. It will be a wide field of activity for everyone, if love is to be carefully cultivated and to produce the fruits that will be beneficial to us both on earth and in the hereafter …. And now put yourself in God’s care and trustingly place all your worries in His Divine Father’s heart …. He will know how to comfort you and will not deny you His help.

Amen

Flowers …. Transformation of the beings …. Work of creation ….

B.D. 0438 from May 28th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Accept the garden of the Lord as one of His dearest creations. The flowers in their oversized number and kinds, point you to the Lord’s immeasurable power and love of creation. As often as a being embodies itself, a form is conditioned by the will of God, in which this being can dwell and work. In the same way also all the beings, to whom the power of God has made a visible work a duty, are again and again brought into forms, according to their activity determined for them. That now thousands and thousands of such beings have an exceedingly short life span, has it’s justification in the fact that everything in the world must exist simultaneously …. the destructive urge on the other hand however, again causes a permanent change of these.

But since no concrete destruction of a being can take place, it must necessarily embody itself again and again in another form …. Therefore the rapid change in nature …. the eternal emergence and passing of all living beings …. (All heliotrophic plants embody the beings determined by the Father of the universe as carriers of the Spirit of God in the plant kingdom ….) Such a wonderful shaping of all creatures on earth has become the need of the creative spirit beings that they can manifest themselves in a thousandfold manners and diversities.

The all-time task of every being is to enliven the form so long until it itself has matured for the new formation in another form, and with the embodiment in every form also to fulfill the purpose of participating in God’s work of creation, even if without will and unconsciously. Continuous reshaping then results in ever higher tasks, and such a being separates itself also ever more from the still clinging force downward …. it strives toward the light in every embodiment ….

And in manifold forms such beings are therefore given the opportunity to proclaim praise and glory to the Lord of creation, because every form is a true miracle …. but the human mind …. just because it is not able to recognize, often does not even pay attention to these miracles …. Where has the great love of the Lord expressed itself more gloriously than in the manifold design of that which covers the earth over and over …. be it in field and forest, on the mountains or in the valley, be it on the ground or in the air …. it is an immense work of God’s omnipotence, which the Lord has put on display to mankind, and in the multiplicity of flowers alone lies hidden such a deep meaning that any one of them could occupy man’s mind beyond all measure.

As humans who carelessly passes them by, you always want to consider that you have not recognized the value of flowers, but that all of you have also gone this way and you have also received your present form only after a long, long struggle, but that you first could only find the connection with the earth through your participation in the work of creation of the Lord through the embodiment in such smallest forms and smallest creatures. Therefore respect in every flower, in every blade of grass the eternal creator of heaven and earth …. and respect also the smallest beings, who through their embodiment serve the Lord of heaven and earth ….

Amen

Danger of worldly pleasures ….

B.D. 0439 from May 28th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

The best weapon against evil is prayer, for already the request for strength saves you from being defeated. Everything on earth is a certain danger for man because it easily distracts thoughts from striving for eternity …. But the world must influence the senses of man with all stimuli, so that he can try out his resistance to it. But the easier the will to find the spiritual back, the more ineffective is the power of the earthly …. In all seclusion from the world, man can often prove himself far less than when the dangers rush at him from all sides, because spiritual power cannot develop and strengthen itself in such a way when little resistance is offered to it.

On the other hand an easy-going response to all temptations of life is an earnest danger for the spiritual state of man because this will always result in a flattening of the soul-life because never can one’s intention be directed towards both the earthly and the spiritual life simultaneously. But in the true striving for spiritual maturity, the earthly child will always entrust itself to the Lord, Who leads it safely and lovingly through all dangers, and an overcome temptation is always a rung further towards the spiritual height ….

That is why we so often issue warnings and admonitions to you, to hold you back from everything that could be a hindrance on the way up, and you will always only have to recognize His loving care for you from this, because not one of you can pass these temptations without the power of prayer. The whole world with it’s charms, on the other hand, will no longer harm you if you are so inflamed with love for the Divine Lord that you no longer demand anything on earth for yourselves, but seek and find fulfillment only in this love.

Then the danger of worldly pleasures is over for you because you then only know the one desire – to be near Him …. Every child longs for the Father, and His great love draws you to His heart …. but the world with it’s joys is then no longer desirable for you …. pray that you may overcome all temptations …. pray ceaselessly for strength and for Divine grace ….

Amen

Strong Faith …. Power of Judgement …. Prediction ….

B.D. 0440 from May 29th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Those who remain in Me will not need to do without My help …. says the Lord, and so also your heart will be cleansed from all doubt, so that a strong faith takes possession of you and you furthermore will stand completely in the service of the Lord. the Lord considers those who are His without distinction, but their own will can let them rise unbelievably high in the spiritual. Whatever will threaten you, the enemy can never harm you as long as you sincerely implore the heavenly Father for protection, because His will stands above everything, so also above the hostile powers, which are hindered to carry out their shameful plans as soon as in the child on earth ask for God’s help – even if only in thought – when he begins to feel disgust for it.

Therefore never tremble and put yourselves trustingly in God’s protection, and you will remain victorious in all temptations …. In the more distant decades, strange things are going to happen on and above the earth …. so the earth will gradually rebel against any excessive transformation through human hands …. This is a sign of the effect of the Divine will, which wants to point all consciously living beings the earth carries, upwards. This can only happen in such a way that also all these unusual phenomena have an inherent order …. because only by this one will recognize that one cannot escape from these things, and only then begin to notice and to think differently.

But only few will do this because the masses of humanity will also again try to give scientific explanations and will not draw any further benefit for their salvation from all these phenomena. It is up to each individual to decide where his mind wants to turn …. If the Lord would proceed too obviously, then soon everything would freeze in captured will …. as long as humans are able to think, they will also possess the power of free judgement and will express it at their discretion ….

A being on earth can never reach maturity if this power of judgement would be taken away from it or it would somehow be judged, because then free will would be switched off and spiritual maturity can no longer be striven for …. But how differently it behaves with those humans, who live only for the present …. their strength of judgement weakens significantly, they leave it completely to the world around them to judge what is uncomfortable for them …. They also thoughtlessly accept their judgement, but still again act according to their free will ….

And so again will only a small part be blessed …. and all phenomena will be beneficial only for this small part, but then these are to turn with all zeal to their actual purpose, because it would be only a short time, and unbelievably much and high can be achieved, if striving begins seriously. Do not let the hungry starve …. and enlighten all who are in darkness, who desires light from you …. You will be approached to hand out the bread to the starving, and it will be good because this will satisfy all who long for it, and it will give the strength to stand by their soul from now on, to redeem itself from matter and to turn completely to the spiritual.

These events will be such that many of them will try to start another life, because the recognition of an active Deity will come so suddenly over these earthly children, that also their whole thinking and striving will seem to have become different …. And then it just applies to utilize this condition of the people and to point everything out to them, which can anchor them firmly in the faith …. Heaven will give its blessing when you work for the glory of God and want to bring many sheep to Him …. A good will will always be blessed and bear good fruit ….

Amen

Spirit of God …. Germ of the love of God ….

B.D. 0441 from May 30th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

Desire the Spirit of God …. Then immediately everything in you will become active …. the soul will turn away from matter, the flesh will renounce the fulfillment of it’s desire …. love will enter your heart, and so you will feel how everything in you becomes light and bright. And all this, if you long out of your own free will for the union with God …. every being carries within itself the germ of the purest love of God …. Once it has risen in the heart, it then continues to grow, because the food that this little plant needs is supplied to it in the Word of God, which in it’s purest form forces it’s way into the hearts of people, where it is taken up and put to best use.

A heart fed in such a way will during the earthly existence certainly not need to live in want, it maintains itself in vitality and only needs to love with all the fervor it is capable of, then it will also soon be filled with the Divine Spirit, because the Father of the universe wants to reveal Himself to such people …. He nevertheless always selects those to such office, who carry the germ in themselves and care for the development of God’s tender little plant. The Divine Teacher Himself taught His disciples on earth never to let themselves be captured by matter, and so often gave them proofs through the most diverse people, on whom He fulfilled His work of love and introduced them to His wisdom and teachings.

The greater the flame of love was in the hearts of the disciples, the brighter their spirit received what the Lord preached, and soon the disciples were so imbued with the Spirit of God that the work of the disciples on earth only expressed what was inherent in the Divine Master Himself …. an unknown power that expressed itself in deeds and words. Completely ignorant, simple people reached a degree of faith and maturity of the soul that undeniably surpassed their natural gifts …. but with them was the Spirit of God, and a visible influence of this Divine Spirit was everywhere where it was necessary to lead erring souls onto the right path.

So the Spirit of God is always needed where a people is to be awakened and guided, because man would lack all power, who would strive to bring teachings and wisdom only out of himself, which without the Spirit of God, would be only pure human work and as such transitory. Thus man can accomplish everything, the Divine Spirit works through him, and it will therefore always be man’s most desirable task to prepare himself so that he is destined to receive the Divine Spirit – and full power then dwells within him, through which he can then accomplish what is pleasing in the will of the Lord and to himself ….

Amen

The sun …. The spiritual sun …. The Divine mercy-sun ….

B.D. 0442 from May 31th 1938, taken from Book No. 9

A sunny spring morning will revive the spirit and give it the right food. For it is prophesied in the Lord that the Divine Voice will be heard, which stands in the Divine sun of grace …. and so, as a sunny day delights the heart of man, so the soul is highly happy when the sun of Divine love shines upon it …. It is an inexplicable process for you that the sun does not always express itself with it’s power in the same way …. that it irradiates the earth valley at times with light and heat and again at times nothing of it’s power and beauty can be noticed.

This is due to the fact that the earth is surrounded by atmospheric shells which prevent the sun’s rays from reaching the earth or reduce their light and heat-power, so that the beneficial effect of the sun’s rays is weakened and is felt only slightly by the earth …. It is exactly the same with the spiritual sun, which in it’s elemental power wants to penetrate the human heart, wanting to shine through it with light and the warmth of love, and which often cannot work it’s way through because of the many shells in which the soul languishes.

As the forces of nature …. Severe weather, rain, wind and storm …. have a purifying effect in the atmosphere surrounding the earth and allow the sun’s power to penetrate, so must the human heart …. the soul …. remove all the dross around and within you and clear the way for the Divine mercy-sun to feel the effect of this invigorating and refreshing in the spirit.

To provide the spiritual sun unhindered entrance to the heart is a task, which should be quite recognized in life …. because you people on earth certainly long for purely physical sunshine and warmth …. how great is then the desire of the soul for the spiritual sun, which can come to it again only if the human will cooperates. How wonderfully the soul will then be able to unfold, and in what shining light it will stand …. and how soon it will then be receptive for the Divine Spirit, which can only stay in a completely purified and sun-clear soul. The sunlight and it’s power cannot be replaced in equal effect …. and so nothing will be able to replace the power of the Divine mercy-sun ….

Amen
