The gift of speech …. backtalk …. willpower …. truth and will ….

B.D. 0562 from August 30th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Words which reveal the divine truth will reach you without interruption, after all, you turn your thoughts believingly to the heavenly father and try to fulfil His will. Yet the gift of speaking can only be granted to you at the time of your ministry …. i.e. when your knowledge is so great that you can distribute what you have received. For the world will always speak back to you and it requires a great gift of oratory to be able to respond to it consistently. However, all doubt will disappear when every objection can be refuted, and to reach this maturity of knowledge requires much devotion and strength of will, which you should constantly wrestle and pray for …. There will come days when a simple word of refutation can already weaken your strength of faith, and then you will have to take refuge in your saviour all the more intimately, and you will emerge doubly strengthened from such danger. Love should prove its strength there too …. Everything you do in love makes your strength and your faith stronger. And so the heavenly father wants to confront a new time with all power through His servants and therefore only needs the good will to be truly ready to serve the lord. Then all the necessary prerequisites will be clear and understandable to the earthly child, it will recognize its task and be able to turn to it without hesitation. All compulsion of the soul is eliminated, the child turns to the father completely voluntarily …. in the will to serve Him, and from then on its actions on earth will also be completely free because the will to serve provided it with everything it needed. For the will subordinated itself to the divine will, and thus the earthly child is protected from wrong influence. The future events will always be in accordance with divine will, for the spirit of God reveals them to the human being and he now directs all his steps according to divine will of his own accord. And thus he only ever hears within himself the instructions God sends to him …. He thinks and acts according to the truth as long as the will is in him to serve the deity in truth and pure love. The lord’s greatest grace is to impart Himself to an earthly being, and in full possession of such grace only truth can truly exist in a person …. And then the divine will can also work unhindered through him, for the heart willingly opens itself to everything divine and thus remains constantly under divine influence. There is often unexpected resistance on the one hand …. and energetic support on the other …. and this both from the spiritual world …. yet the good spiritual forces will be able to express themselves unhindered because the will of the human child longs for truth and consciously turns away from all counter-currents. The more the will strives to come closer to the deity, the more the deity passes into the human being …. and thus the spirit of God unites ever more intimately with the soul …. and from this again the soul draws strength ….

Earthly and otherworldly happiness in love …. sphere of light …. looking inwards …. war…

B.D. 0563 from August 31th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Detach yourselves with all your might from earthly pleasures and remain in My love …. this will replace a thousandfold what you give up for My sake. And thus heavenly peace will unfold in you …. you will find all happiness on earth in My love and be indissolubly united with Me. Let this be your principle that you give up everything for My sake, then you will receive infinitely more than you have given away, for if I fulfil you, you will truly desire nothing else ….

And you are in great need of refreshment for the salvation of your soul …. you do not know the joys of heaven and therefore do not appreciate the value of My promises, yet you will revel in unspeakable bliss if you follow My words …. What does the world offer you in contrast …. Only illusory goods and illusory happiness …. But true happiness is only with Me alone, Who created you …. You only have to know this much, that you create that blissful state for yourselves for an unlimited period of time …. without end …. that you will always feel the same longing for it and that this longing will always be satisfied by My love …. and that you do not know how to measure and evaluate such on earth, but will be desired by you in eternity. This fulfilment of your longing is incomparable, and for this you will have to endure earthly life with all its pain and suffering …. My love is constantly endeavouring to make this blissful state of happiness accessible to you, for God’s glory has existed for an infinitely long time and will continue to exist for all eternity. The more intimately an earthly being can feel for its creator …. the greater the love of the earthly child for the heavenly father, the more varied the spiritual experience on earth will be. If the human being already dwells on earth in spheres of light, if he cherishes love for the divine saviour in his heart and if love has thus been kindled to the highest fervour, then the lord is in the fullest form of light in the midst of his heart …. a look inwards lets His image shine, and from an overflowing heart a heartfelt prayer rises to the father, Who so richly provides for His child. Behold, My child …. compare that time of My life on earth with the endeavours of the present time …. Everything that opposed My teaching at that time was from the realm of darkness. Those people who accepted My word were indeed extremely willing, but it was only a small proportion compared to those who rejected My word. In later years, however, the number of My so-called followers increased, but these followers were not My true disciples …. They had moulded themselves into something according to My teaching, and in the following centuries war after war arose over this teaching. The cause was always a certain struggle for My word, and that in itself could not be the right teaching instituted by Me, for the sake of which bloodshed arose among mankind. But the advancing age became weary of faith …. and soon no longer recognized the purely divine in this teaching either, but it moved further and further away from the right faith instead of accepting My unadulterated word, which repeatedly reached people according to My will. However, in order to guide humanity onto the right path of realization a great shattering of the entire religions or the teachings represented on earth, which were supposed to be My work, had to occur once again …. and this upheaval should now lead to humanity seriously questioning what the eternal deity demands of it. Thus My teaching shall arise again amongst people and this will not be confirmed by any war or the like, nor will any religion fight the other but only that will be decisive as to whether people will want to acknowledge Jesus Christ as saviour of the world and accept His teaching as the only truth or whether they intend to banish everything true into the realm of legend and renounce all faith in the saviour. But this will never again be a matter of dispute that could lead to war. The living example of these words of Mine is in any case the long prepared battle against all faith, which is certainly raging everywhere but will only be decided in the hearts of people …. Everyone will outwardly fulfil the will proclaimed by earthly power …. but I fight for your hearts …. I do not want outward faith …. I want the deepest inner experience and your true devotion to Me …. This battle must be fought in the heart and will never relate to worldly events but only ever to the acceptance of My pure word or its rejection. Now the world has become far too entangled in earthly interests and will only ever stage a war over such, but the question about the eternal deity will never tempt people to evoke a war. People today are so far removed from spiritual experience that they would not make it the centre of a world conflagration, whereas material interests are extremely prevalent and these alone can be the cause of hostilities.

Thus those predictions (John 16:8) essentially refer to the wars arising from spiritual causes and a final elimination will not be possible until the whole of humanity has entered a more spiritual state, which then also guarantees a completely different spiritual attitude. However, all phenomena of the present time point to a de-spiritualization of the generations and the state of peace, which encompasses the whole earth, will still be a long way off. This, My child, shall restore your inner peace and in full faith you shall accept the words …. as pure truth and given in love …. for light shall become yours if you ask for it ….

Amen

Insight and inability …. work of love without knowledge of the value ….

B.D. 0564 from September 1st 1938, taken from Book No. 12

And you will be immeasurably rich in experiences, and your knowledge will cover areas which all earthly intellect cannot reveal to you, for you are active as spiritual beings yourselves in contact with the divine spirit …. At the moment of reception no earthly matter prevents you from receiving spiritual things from spiritual regions, and thus you will also remain active in spirit yourselves, providing that you do not fall back through your own fault. Insight and inability are two factors which are in conflict with each other, and yet a person can attain full insight without actually having the gift of being able to clearly judge something which is beyond his knowledge. A living representation of the spirit of God can hardly be given to people, but a person will then feel this spirit of God within himself, provided he only fulfils everything that is required to awaken the inner spark of life. By forcibly tearing himself away from the earthly, the spirit slumbering in the human being breaks through the shell surrounding him and awakens to life …. i.e., it now works powerfully in the human being. The mere persistence of thoughts in the spiritual realm is the soul’s greatest helper, for now spiritual forces flow inexorably towards the soul and allow the spirit’s activity to become ever more active, and a human child who surrenders to every impulse which leads closer to the eternal deity remains untouched by dark power and completes his career on earth with the right success …. that the soul has become the receiving vessel of the divine spirit and such unification of the spirit with the spirit of God is the final goal of life on earth. All earthly endeavours are as it were dead ways for the soul, not the slightest of such work benefits the soul, only what love produces in man can be of use to the soul …. Faith in the strength of such good works can be the cause of inner transformation, for if the human being practices them he will unconsciously receive the strength and grace to continue this activity of love and the soul will also have found a connection to the spiritual world. What it now does without actual knowledge of the value of such works of love is reserved for eternity, and one good deed will soon be followed by others, for he who has love will never lose it and will shape himself even without the realization of spiritual truths. However, the person who consciously strives to ennoble his being will work on himself much more diligently and …. mind you …. feel a significant relief in earthly life through the conscious utilization of the good spiritual forces, which has both spiritual and physical effects. Existence on earth remains a struggle for every human being, but since support is granted by the eternal deity it should also be requested and utilized as far as possible, because from now on the spiritual beings will take care of the support of a requesting soul …. whereas the one who walks through earthly life without all spiritual knowledge has to struggle far harder and has to generate such a strong strength of love within himself in order to be able to likewise provide the soul with the necessary help in earthly life …. And if the path is now smoothed for you humans so that you can easily attain the kingdom of heaven, then consider this well and investigate and ponder what could be the reason that the heavenly father carefully looks after you and wants to protect you from failures and wrong paths …. and only recognize His infinite love therein, which embraces all human children, and know that this love can never ever end and that it is eternally valid for you, His creatures …. and that this love is constantly courting your soul …. so that it may find its way back to Him, the all-father of light …. eternal love Himself ….

Amen

Word of God …. grace through it ….

B.D. 0565 from September 2nd 1938, taken from Book No. 12

So always turn your gaze upwards full of devotion and let all hymns of thanksgiving resound in you to the glory of God. For His love is infinite and only ever watches over His earthly children so that they do not suffer harm to their souls. And so begin: worlds will arise and pass away again, but God’s love, which expresses itself through His word, will never pass away in eternity. But you must keep to this word in order to also partake of the lord’s great love. For remember that the lord makes all His laws known through His word …. remember that He instructs you and admonishes you to follow all His teachings …. remember that through this word you come into the full possession of God’s grace and that all the promises of this word will be completely fulfilled in you if you live and act according to His words. And then you will also know what an immeasurable blessing lies upon the divine word and how little you receive God’s blessing if you do not hear His word and thus cannot draw any real vitality from it. The overwhelming awareness of an unutilized gift of grace will always trigger an inhibiting feeling, a remorse which is difficult to make up for …. For anyone who considers that the time on earth is only of such short duration and that the spirit must be on a very high level if the earthly child wants to become a true child of God will realise that every opportunity which can lead to the soul’s perfection must also be used, and thus the blessings are first and foremost indispensable for the human being, and these blessings are offered to the human being in so many different ways and should by no means be regarded as dispensable …. For they are always loving favours from the heavenly father Who wants to make His children’s task on earth easier by providing all kinds of aids which all serve to further the soul. Only with the help of such favours does the human being have the opportunity to ascend from level to level, and thus countless proofs of God’s love have been provided, all of which should enlighten earthly people as to the lord’s concern for His living creations so that they can all come close to Him …. for His love is boundless.

Amen

Lies and truth ….

B.D. 0566 from September 1st 1938, taken from Book No. 12

The greatest evil is lying …. If you recognize the truth and yet pay no attention to it, you allow the spirit of lies to gain power over you …. and its power is greater than you believe, for it poisons your whole thinking …. it robs you of all power of judgement and always has a myriad of vices and bad habits behind it, all of which have their origin in lies. If the light is to shine for you, you must remain in the truth, for where there is falsehood, there is also darkness. No soul likes such darkness, but it is inevitably pushed into it where the truth is not respected. All tribulation comes from lies …. The lie opens the door to evil passions and desires …. it is often so inconspicuous in itself and yet it destroys all good instincts in people. And so all corruption is rooted in the lie, for it is a product of darkness. And so listen up: as long as you do not endeavour to cultivate the purest truth within you …. as long as you take refuge in even the smallest paraphrases or untruths, the spirit of truth will never be able to enlighten you, for you can only unite with the eternal deity when you are completely pure of heart and detest lies with all your heart. And now you see the consequences of a lie swelling to enormous proportions …. You do not know how enormous the effects of the lie are …. how it creates evil and reproduces itself, always giving birth to new lies …. And that is why the lie is the death of the soul, just as the pure truth is the light from the heavens for it. But if you stand up for the truth, it will remain light and bright in you and you will defeat the lie …. For just as the lie is mighty in its power and constantly brings evil in its wake, the pure truth is nevertheless much stronger and can illuminate the night of lies with the brightest light by virtue of its power …. And if mankind only wanted to seek the truth, it would force the lie to its feet and bring infinite blessings to the earth. But as it is, too many opposing forces prevail and are fought little or not at all, and the lie spreads across the whole earth and brings about incredible destruction …. And this is one reason why so little credence is given to the possibility of a pure spiritual connection between the earth and the beyond. What is not so easy for people to understand, they immediately throw into the realm of lies …. They do not scrutinize, but immediately reject, because they know the lie and its accompanying phenomena only too well and know that its devastation extends over all areas …. Pure truth is a lie in their eyes …. they are much more likely to accept the lie unchecked …. If they were to turn to God for enlightenment, they would soon lose all doubt and their powers of judgement would be sharpened, and they would very soon know how to distinguish truth from lies. There would be light in their hearts and they would flee the lie as the most shameful work of evil …. But as long as mankind does not take refuge in prayer …. and plead for knowledge of the truth, it will remain subject to the lie, and that through its own fault …. For the lord imparts the pure truth to His children on earth and wants to offer it to all people …. But who accepts it? …. Only a small part, but the others grope in the blackest darkness and remain children of lies of their own will, and so they will hardly attain eternal life, for only the truth guarantees them this ….

Amen

Lies and truth ….

B.D. 0567 from September 3rd 1938, taken from Book No. 12

So follow the voice within you which calls you to order and do not fall into the error of following any request which is not audible in your heart but only comes from outside. You will soon recognize the essential difference of what you hear if you only always give honour to the truth …., i.e. do not allow yourselves to be beguiled by blind words, but only act as you should deem right. You can always find a pleasant side to any matter by deviating from the truth or making concessions …. But then the person does not take the right path of knowledge, but remains in spiritual error until he has taken the path of pure truth. For only through this can the degree of maturity be achieved that is the condition for entering into eternal bliss. In full realization of the truth, straying onto the path of lies is doubly painful and harmful for the soul. For man was given the intellect to recognize …. And he should inevitably also act in accordance with what knowledge dictates to him through the inner voice that tells him exactly what God’s will is. If the voice is heeded, it becomes a friend of man …. it helps him out of every need and danger. Like a faithful guardian, it is concerned about the salvation of man’s soul and protects him with all seriousness from going astray.

And if a person is fully accountable to himself, he will also listen attentively to the inner voice …. he will cultivate the truth and never deviate from the path of truth …. and eternal truth is also accessible to a truth-loving child, but never again to a child of lies. Man must give an account to himself, the voice of the heart must be his own judge, and he must take a sharp and unforgiving stand against his offences …. he must recognize himself and try to improve, and he can only do this with the fullest sense of truth in his heart …. For the lie whitewashes everything and will never accuse him of wrongdoing …. It will only ever excuse him and never spur him on to ever greater love of truth …. So you must never fall victim to this vice, you must seek the truth, even if it is sometimes harder to bear …. You must not make any concessions, but must remain strictly truthful …. if you also want to partake of divine truth …. for God, as the eternal truth, can only communicate Himself to a thoroughly truth-loving child who detests lies and never takes advantage of them …. You yourselves will gain the greatest advantage from it and will be considered unabridged, and thus you will also be able to proclaim pure truth again, and such will remain forever ….

Amen

Mercy ….

B.D. 0568 from September 4th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Just as all creatures bathe in the sea of divine love, so divine mercy is also indispensable to them, for without it everything would have to vanish into nothing …. People also need it without ceasing, for many withdraw themselves from God’s love through their own will and can only be preserved through God’s mercy …. Although mercy is also an act of divine love, it only brings happiness to the smallest degree, whereas love provides all bliss in abundance to the being that is worthy of this love. God lets no being fall forever, time and again divine mercy confronts this being and saves it from the worst …. the complete downfall …. as long as there is still the slightest possibility of bringing it to a better state. Mercy is therefore also the virtue that you humans should practice to the best of your ability. Anyone who can empathize with the misery of his fellow human beings has God’s spark of love active in his heart …. and the noblest work of neighbourly love is to help where the greatest misery has befallen a person. It is God’s will that man should be merciful who himself avails himself of God’s mercy …. and is there one among you who does not need it? …. Therefore, be merciful too and help those in need, even if they have made themselves unworthy of your love, for the lord will judge them, but you should also love your enemies and show them your full mercy if they need it.

All blessings come from above …. so every work of mercy will also be blessed from there …. God’s love therefore wants unfulfilled wishes to remain open to people, and if you practice works of mercy, the lord will also consider you in His love …. for the need among humanity is nameless, you can be active in neighbourly love without limit if you want to serve the lord God through it and make yourselves worthy of His blessing. Do not harden your hearts and give where it is needed …. help where your help is required or needed. For the father in heaven also continues to show you His mercy and therefore demands the same from you …. For as you measure out, it will also be measured out to you ….

Amen

Omnipotence and wisdom …. not arbitrariness …. arrogance ….

B.D. 0569 from September 4th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Everything created by Me on earth is based on a wise intention, and in order to understand this I will guide you into the sphere where you will learn to understand spiritually …. And even if it seems to you that God only acts arbitrarily, one look at the divine creation is enough and you will realise that your thinking was far wrong …. If you connect yourselves with spiritual strength, all earthly heaviness will fall away from you; likewise, all spiritual work will proceed better and better if the spirit is able to separate itself from all matter. Now you will noticeably receive those powers that make you capable of achieving extraordinary things …. In the same way the spirit of God reigns in nature in the same relationship to the things that stand outside of the directed creation …. i.e., the omnipotence of God will always express itself in matter, but the wisdom of the divine creator in the spiritual …. Since wisdom and omnipotence are manifested in every work of creation, each of these works will not owe its existence to the arbitrariness of God, but will have been created for a specific purpose and meaning.

Everything will correspond to a wise meaning and thus radiate and testify to the wisdom of God in both spiritual and material respects to every thinking person. However, all references to such a kind of well-planned creation are not enough for the human being to fully believe and trust in divine omnipotence, but the human being always quarrels with God about his fate imposed on him and does not recognize all measures of the eternal deity as wise and well-considered …. He grumbles and complains and yet cannot comprehend in his small mind how little power of judgement he himself possesses …. Can a person even presume to criticize or condemn what ever happens through the will of God? And yet man so often transgresses the commandment to love God …. In deepest humility he should accept everything that comes upon him, whether good or bad, and always bear in mind that everything corresponds to a wise purpose. If he strives to develop his spirit, he must soon realise that he experiences such a visible intervention of the eternal deity in all events and that all threads of eternal creation emanate from this deity …. Thus the entire universe is proof of the divine love which manifests itself in all things on and above the earth and testifies to His infinite wisdom and omnipotence ….

Releasing the mind from the body …. answer to all questions ….

B.D. 0570 from September 5th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

The spirit’s power penetrates infinity, but the body can only absorb what is conveyed to the mind through the spirit, and so it will always be a question of how far the body grants the spirit within itself the right to separate itself from it, and this through the willing yielding of the body …. through the occupation of the thoughts with the spiritual. All matter will interfere between spirit and body. If the body can now detach itself from matter as far as possible, the path to infinity is cleared for the spirit within it. All problems that affect people and whose solution seems important to them can now be presented to the spirit, and immersion in purely divine miracles of creation soon results in a clear solution to such questions …. for there is only one truth, and this can only be grasped with the spirit, which is God’s, but never with that which still belongs to the earth, the purely human mind …. Only when man’s thinking has subordinated itself to the spirit within him can he be guided into the truth …. For God gives him knowledge when man has given himself to Him and strives to fulfil his task on earth. Man may approach the greatest problem and he will receive answers to his questions if only he always desires them in order to attain a state of maturity. It is not permissible to combine earthly interests with it, for everything spiritual must be completely separated from materialism in order to be purest truth. It is given without reservation to those who see their mission in life as serving God and fulfilling His will. The lord gives them unlimited …. they may only ever turn to Him in order to be fully heard, for a willing soul on earth is an instrument in the hands of God …. it is called to participate in the lord’s work of redemption on earth, will therefore gladly and willingly fulfil all its tasks and thus again work as a blessing for its fellow human beings, for the connection with the heavenly father will guide it into eternal truth ….

Power of God …. revelations in the heart …. instrument of God's will ….

B.D. 0571 from September 5th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

You will find enough divine strength within you to achieve everything you ask for in prayer. Behold, My strength fills every heart that seeks and loves Me …. No being passes through the valley of the earth harmed when love for Me, its creator and father, has awakened in it. And this grace is the overflowing of My strength into the human heart …. Every thought you send to Me is now already proof of this strength, which expresses itself in such a way that everything that comes from Me longs for Me again …. And thus your heart harbours an endless number of revelations, for they are already written into it by Me and come to your awareness through your ever new will to serve Me. The power of God is likewise expressed in these revelations, for the human being is unable to penetrate My truths from within …. he is unable to hear My word if the power of the spirit does not permeate him. And so it is entirely up to you whether you are willing to serve or whether you want to close your ear to My word in sluggishness of spirit …. So you are only allowed to want and you are in full possession of divine power …. It is still up to you to do or not to do the duty that has become dear to you …. but the days will come when, as a faithful servant of God, you will have to carry out God’s will …. For once you have passed the test as such, you will willingly give yourself as an instrument and then act on My behalf as My representative on earth, as it were. And then your will, which you have subordinated to Me, will only ever have to act according to the highest commandment. The opposing power is inherent in all matter, and everything that persists in love for matter will be subjugated by it …. But spiritual power is born out of love for God, it revitalizes, awakens, ignites and strengthens everything it flows through …. If this divine power is to truly enliven the human being, he must completely free himself from material thinking and entrust himself in all devotion to the divine father’s heart, then those opposing forces will be completely eliminated and only the divine power will flow through the earthly child and have such a powerful effect in it, that a noticeable progress in the spiritual is achieved and no inhibitions oppose the so spiritualized, but the heart longs more and more to the father and therefore strives ever more eagerly for the union with the spirit of God, and so you will also become aware into which spiritual sphere your will places you …. In a short time you will not be able to live without the power of God, for it is lost in matter …. but eternally this divine power permeates everything spiritual and can therefore only be granted to the spiritually striving …. Therefore, whatever spiritual good you ask for will be granted to you in full, for your prayer is conditioned by love for God …. and God returns this love a thousandfold, and with His elemental power He will strengthen all those who love Him and long for Him ….

Amen

Power of prayer …. flee the pleasures of the world …. body and soul ….

B.D. 0572 from September 6th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

So try to put yourself in a state where you only direct your senses towards God, and if your thoughts want to stray, call upon Him for help. You will then hear every word we say brightly and clearly, for the power of prayer is unspeakably great, you just don’t know it yet …. In worldly things the fulfilment of your prayer becomes tangible to you, but in the spiritual it is not so noticeable to you, yet the soul derives immense benefit from it when you turn intimately to the heavenly father. And that is the blessing of prayer, that you develop higher and higher and the pressure falls off the soul more and more. The soul lifts itself up and no longer takes such an interest in earthly suffering, and this also allows the body to bear suffering much more easily. In hours of earthly hardship, the soul returns to the body and gives it the strength to patiently accept everything in view of eternity, for body and soul struggle together for inner peace. Flee the pleasures of the world …. This admonition cannot be given to you often enough, for only then will you be able to truly realise your spiritual existence. Raising your thoughts to God is far more valuable than devoting them to earthly pleasures, and at the same time you begin the separation of the soul from the body. Guided into our spheres, such a possibility is offered to the soul that it soon makes contact with the spirit slumbering in it and earthly existence is only a means to an end for it. It will only ever stimulate the body to fulfil its earthly duties and to fully commit itself to a work of love in …. to cultivate love with all its strength and thereby supply the soul with ever new strength, which is again directed towards the union with the spirit of God. Diligent labour of the body with the soul must have spiritual success. It therefore only requires blessing from above, which should be implored in fervent prayer. Every sigh of relief, sent to heaven in childlike trust, also assures you of heaven’s support, and in spiritual concern you will not make any request in vain. For everything is revealed to the deity, including the innermost corner of the heart, when a cry for help to the father comes from there ….

Amen

Eternal kingdom …. bridge …. pillar …. distress and tribulation ….

B.D. 0573 from September 6th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Hear the divine voice and prepare yourself to receive a proclamation which shall completely captivate you …. Behold, an eternal kingdom will arise for you, but it will never be understood in earthly terms. All power in the universe, which is divine power from the beginning, will unite to extraordinary work, and indeed, a bridge will be built from the beyond to earth, which all My children shall enter in order to reach Me. Where the state of the spirit is close to maturity, there I will erect the pillars of the bridge and I Myself will descend to you in order to be among you at all times. But this time is no longer far away, only a cloudy period of time still has to occur first in order to bring about clarification as to who wants to confess Me as My child or denies Me …. This time of adversity and tribulation will take on unimagined proportions and some will tremble who believe to stand firm …. yet no anxiety will arise in My ranks, for those who come to earth with Me will always be with My own as a source of comfort and strength, and those who always carry My word in their hearts will enter the kingdom of peace. But when the lord of heaven and earth Himself will enter the bridge that leads to you, then all those to whom I have promised this will see Me …. Then a time will have dawned upon you that will bring manna and refreshment …. comfort and peace to those who hope for this from Me. But woe to those who have turned away from Me and to whom My voice will not resound sweetly …. When the time is near, My love will remain among you, who are Mine, to help you against those who deny their lord. Every hour will then be precious, for I will save everyone who calls out to Me in his distress. And I will send out My messengers so that every stray sheep will be found when only the will still longs for Me. Mankind still has to experience visible hardship before it turns its eyes to Jesus Christ, the crucified …. and therefore the earth’s time of suffering is not yet over. But you should recognize from everything that the father in heaven remembers His children and leaves no stone unturned to win them, therefore let yourselves be found by Me and listen to My call from above …. I will make you happy forever if you love Me and follow My voice. The eternal home is only with Me, and anyone who wants to build an eternal kingdom on earth has to ask for My help, yet this eternal kingdom can only be the father’s kingdom alone, the father wants to receive you there, therefore constantly care only for this and leave all your earthly worries behind, for they are not of the slightest use to your soul …. And so continue: legions of angels from heaven will descend to earth and try to bring light to people, and the whole army of these spiritual beings will stir up a storm among people …. Everything that can think will be drawn into a world conflagration, but it will only apply to spiritual chaos …. There will be no end to the disputes, the battle will rage everywhere, for the activity of God will be faced partly with amazement, partly with rejection, yet forces will express themselves on all sides and God will make Himself known through people …. and people will begin to think who until then paid no attention to the spiritual direction. And this time will be the time of maturity …. and blessed is he who sowed at the right time …. When then the hosts of heaven will come, then the new time will begin …. the time of eternal peace ….

Amen

Matter – banished – evil …. concept of good and evil ….

B.D. 0574 from September 7th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

All protection from above is granted to you, for like you, countless spiritual beings are struggling for the souls of the children of earth. A spiritual resistance opposes them, and to break this power requires much effort and patience. But the ways of the lord are wonderful, and many a person will still have to recognize that he is guided by a higher will. But now listen up: living beings always have the destiny to offer a soul an abode and are therefore always carriers of the spirit of God …. which means that in every embodiment, no matter what kind, the divine creator Himself is active …. That therefore all work of creation again harbours the eternal deity within itself and thus can also never completely pass away, only changes in its external form. The external form is likewise spiritual, which, although it originated from God, has turned away from Him …. And this spiritual substance was banished into form, which is now subject to perpetual change and transformation through millennia …. in order to slowly return the spiritual substance within itself to the eternal deity, so that after an infinitely long time it can leave the banished state and develop into active spiritual beings in living beings. That is why all matter is also from God, but, as it were, the banished evil which, originally created good, fell away from God and …. in order to finally return to God again …. must travel an indescribably long path, the last station of which is existence on earth. Thus the concept of ‘good and evil’ will perhaps be incomprehensible to you at times, since everything is from God and should therefore only be good, but the original spirits created by God had free will just as much as God Himself, and this brought about the apostasy …. Thus, however, free will must now also strive for ascent again, but God in His great mercy does not allow a single being to fall into ruin. Although the path of return is unspeakably difficult and arduous, such a measure of grace is nevertheless accessible to it through the embodiment on earth that it can easily reshape itself into the highest being of light if only it has the will to do so. But precisely this will is often sluggish and misses so many opportunities to mature the soul …. And evil also lures the human being downwards, so that he really has to wage a battle if he wants to achieve victory over evil …. over matter ….

Amen

Floods of love …. palace of the rich …. hut of poverty ….

B.D. 0575 from September 6th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

All those who comply with the divine will and only endeavour to save their souls may immerse themselves in the floods of divine love. Whereas mankind is only concerned with daily worries and lives thoughtlessly, the strengthening bath will be sorely lacking, for without divine love it will never be able to free itself from worldly desires. But love is so easy to acquire …. Just a loving thought for the one Who gave you life …. just a thank you for it and the desire to always do the right thing on earth in the spirit of the one Who created you …. And you will already be seized and guided by God’s love, and this for as long as you are of good will. But if you turn away from the thought of God …. you want to carve out a life for yourselves as you see fit, then God will also turn away from you, for He loves everyone dearly who recognizes Him but does not impose His love on anyone who wants to walk alone on earth. How easy people could make life for themselves if they walked with Him in all situations, in joy or sorrow …. how much happier joy would be and how easily bearable suffering …. if you wanted to share everything with Him, the lord and saviour, Who is always close to you with His love. If people see their God in earthly possessions, they will only find a hard heart there, for earthly riches are not suited to ennoble human hearts, but all bad habits and vices are rooted in the desire for gold and good …. for earthly possessions …. Where can you find divine love in this? The lord dwells where He is called, but the call to Him rarely comes from the palace of the rich, but more often from the hut of poverty. The darkest need often forces a person to take refuge in God and turn to Him for help, and a person who is not attached to earthly possessions can offer himself fully and completely to the heavenly father. How mercifully the love of God now descends on such a human child …. But those people who revel in riches and do not find their way to the father must live in want despite all their wealth …. although they snatch everything from the world that it offers them, they are in great spiritual poverty, for their spirit and soul suffer unspeakably because they lack the love of God. Worldly splendour and worldly power do not replace the power of grace of divine love, so you humans must be all the more anxious to acquire it, since it is accessible to all of you and everyone can step into the floods of divine love so that he is strengthened in body and soul and finds strength in abundance for the task he has been given for his earthly existence ….

Amen

Foolish Vvirgins …. woman in the night …. earth wanderer ….

B.D. 0576 from September 8th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

People are given so many opportunities to ease their way upwards, and so everyone is inevitably capable of mastering life if only he always lets the lord God rule. Yet people often presume to exercise judgement before they have seriously examined …. are therefore often very close to the source of grace and do not find it because they believe they can do without the refreshment. If the heavenly father takes pity on such earthly children and wants to make it very easy for them to find the way up and encounters stiff resistance, then the valley of life is henceforth a vessel without content for these people …. their lot will continue to be a barren emptiness of the heart, which they try to banish through worldly interests. Your fellow human beings who do not grasp the father’s saving hand are also in such need, and their behaviour is like that of the foolish virgins who go into the darkness and leave the light at home. Where such a bright light shines that it can shine far and wide, and yet this light is shunned, there the love of the divine saviour can do just as little until the day comes when they remember you with repentance …. And in this hour a parable will be sent to you, which should explain the father’s love for His own quite vividly …. In the darkest night a woman wanders through desolate streets and carries within her the longing to be at home. Longing and hope drive her to hurry, and soon she sees a shining light in the distance …. In her heart she prays to God that this light may shine for her on her way home. And God answered her prayer, and bright light broke through the darkness of the night …. He gave her strength and did not let her tire until she reached her destination …. And this bright light was faith …. strength was love …. and her steps were the will …. As soon as she turned to the father in supplication, she was helped, the night became day, for faith and with it love entered her heart. Who among you earth travellers does not need this bright light? …. Who among you can find the way to the eternal home without faith? …. And where you lack the strength of love, there you resemble a wanderer who never endeavours to advance …. who only ever quarrels about the long path and yet makes no effort to reach his goal.

He lacks the will, and without it he remains in the same place time and time again. Man always remains on the same level if his will does not become active in order to then break through the dark night through faith and love and walk towards the bright morning. Let it be said to all the world that without will, faith and love the eternal home is unreachable …. that without these the traveller remains weary on the path, that the money in his pocket is of no use to him if he does not recognize the abyss in the darkness and strays from the right path …. On the other hand, the brightest light of grace will shine on the earth traveller who calls to the father in childlike faith, and the path to home will be easily and quickly accessible to him. For God’s love protects him and gives him the strength he needs ….

Amen

Soul chooses its own whereabouts as a human being …. people as creating power ….

B.D. 0577 from September 10th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

The path that the soul has to travel before it is worthy of the lord’s presence in its mature state is endlessly long. Regardless of this, however, the soul takes this fate upon itself, initially without its own will, only obeying the will of God, but before the birth of the human being it chooses its place of residence in free and clear realization of the environment in which it is most likely to reach its state of maturity. Although this is also an order from God, she submits to it with full will and without hesitation it now takes the path which brings it final liberation from the rigid form, matter, and this in a time which it can determine itself …. depending on how it fulfils its earthly task. To an indescribable extent, it now has the opportunity to live only the liberation from it last shell …. It only needs to will and submit to God’s instructions, which it can also resist by virtue of its free will. And its state becomes ever lighter and purer and moves towards spiritualization. Where the soul now faces resistance, God’s help will not fail to materialize by strengthening its will, which demands upwards. Only the completely unwilling …. who have not the slightest will to reach upwards …. cannot receive this power, since it arises from love for God …. but love for God also triggers the will to come closer to Him ….

Thus the human being only ever needs to recognize the greatness, omnipotence and goodness of God, then love will also take root in him and this will again generate the firm will to ascend to the proximity of the heavenly father. Thus all endeavours in the world beyond will always first aim to make the miracle of creation clear to the earthly child …. and through this he will enter into living contact with the creator, then a deep reverence will take hold of the human being and creation will teach him ever more thoroughly …. For everything in the world happens only for the sake of man and exists only for the sake of man …. Thus the eternal deity is also prepared at all times to allow the earthly child to participate in the work of creation, for it also gave man the power, in a small measure, to create on earth and to bring things into being …. and this power should already allow the ignorant human being to recognize his relationship to the divine creator, that he is in the smallest detail the same as the eternal elemental force from Whom he emanated. The power of creation is inherent in every human being, even the unrecognizing one. Everyone has a different ability and can thus work completely independently on earth, partly creating …. partly by fathoming cause and effect and utilizing his knowledge for the creator. Thus divine power dwells in every human being, only how he utilizes it is up to him. The presence of God’s power in man should lead to the realization of whose creation he actually is.

But anyone who blindly passes by all that is wonderful and believes in self-conceit that he has placed himself on the level of earthly existence through his own strength, his soul will still have to walk the path of embodiment or bondage for a long time, for matter will hold it captive until it has recognized it. God always presents man with new questions, events and decisions, and innumerable possibilities are given to him where he can find the connection to eternity, to the heavenly father. When he has to recognize in his weakness that his power alone is no longer enough …. All resistance would then have to be broken if man would humbly bow his will before Him to Whom all power belongs …. It is man’s boundless self-love that makes the path to the father so difficult to find …. man always wants to make himself the centre of attention, and everything around him should serve him to fulfil his wishes. Instead of serving the lord and creator of heaven and earth with everything that is his …. This will one day bring him greater reward than he can ever achieve with all his endeavours on earth and will return him to his original state, which will make him free and infinitely happy for all eternity ….

Amen

Turn of the century …. power of God …. healing the sick ….

B.D. 0578 from September 10th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Behold, My child, many of your spiritual friends have gathered around you and are giving you news of My will. So remember that you are also one of My faithful ones and have a task to fulfil which requires your whole devotion. But I want to increase your strength and strengthen your faith as you desire. So unite with Me in spirit and listen:

You shall come alive and see My kingdom in the spirit, and you will experience miracles and feel the power of My love in you. Only rarely does a person have the stamina required to fulfil such a task on earth, and therefore I want to stand by you in every situation in life so that you shall always feel the closeness of your saviour. Keep a pure heart and give love everywhere, then you will receive My grace and this will make you truly alive …. You will be able to draw strength from the source, and in future you will be offered food and drink so that you will never need to hunger or thirst for spiritual nourishment. But now be attentive and lend me your ear:

At the turn of the century you humans think and then believe the time has come when I Myself will come to earth …. But then you would no longer experience this coming of Mine on earth as earthly people …. But you are called to be witnesses of My glory and harbingers who are to prepare humanity for it, for the day is not far away. Behold, I am still giving you time and delaying it further and further in order to avert the great suffering of millions and millions of people. And that is why I want to endow you with immense strength so that those who want to see the morning when the first rays of the rising sun illuminate the universe will still be awakened from their sleep. This is why prophets are sent to people time and again to warn and enlighten them …. who are to save souls with love and thus vividly proclaim God’s love to people. And thus in this time, which precedes My coming, there will be such an unspeakable struggle for the lost souls, and no-one will remain on earth without spiritual guidance …. I impart the pure truth to people and let them gain an insight into My entire creation and make sure that all My strength will flow to you, whom I have called, and will be at your disposal if only you want something in My name out of love for your neighbour. The proof of My words will soon be given to you and then pay attention to …. What you start early in the morning will always be blessed. For you will then work in all your strength. Therefore, always let the sick strengthen their aching limbs in the morning and then lay your hands on them in My name and you will succeed in restoring their health and all infirmities will fall from them …. This is what I lovingly lay on your heart, My child, that you act as your father asks of you …. Once your will has steeled itself, you will achieve great things and shall do this for Me and My name in order to give news of My return on earth. Behold, it is now already two weeks that I have announced to you the way in which you can attain a firm will …. You must take this deep into your heart and endeavour to put the words into practice. You will not be left without help, but your hesitation must be overcome and you must unconditionally accept what I bring to your attention. Behold, so few earthly children give Me their full will and perseverance …. But I need them if I Myself am to be able to work through them among My earthly children. I have no other goal than to make an infinite number of people happy and therefore need your help on earth because you are My instruments through which I can speak to people unhindered and yet be listened to by them without shyness. But as long as you do not have the firmest faith you will not carry out what I ask of you. You shall receive everything from Me in order to be able to stand up for Me, and I will give you My strength so that you can accomplish incredible things …. to proclaim My name to the whole world anew …. for the time is drawing ever closer which I have proclaimed to My own for the rising of the spiritual morning sun. And if you, My servants on earth, want to fulfil My will then only ever keep to the words I give and have given you …. for I am eternally the same, I am the truth and the life …. whoever has Me will never die in eternity, and whoever works in My name will be strengthened by My will and by My strength which will overflow into him and enable him to work like Me …. for I have all power from the beginning and for all eternity ….

Amen

Diversity of earthly existence …. You would pray for suffering ….

B.D. 0579 from September 11th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

You see, My child, in the world of your parents you accepted a destiny that allowed you to mature considerably and your earthly life was rich in experiences which stimulated your thinking, and the way to ascend could be revealed to you more easily. Although people’s circumstances of life are often even more difficult and with far greater poverty and aguish but then their souls are even less mature and can only purify themselves in such hard conditions; and thus people’s burdens are as different as are their results. Before its incarnation as a human being each soul longs to utilise its embodiment as quickly and as successfully as possible and therefore inhabits a body which has a predetermined difficult fate. On the other hand, many souls must go the path of purification which requires other circumstances of life …. which leads to their goal sooner through an easier and more pleasant existence but where other dangers have to be fought which the soul has to overcome.

This is arranged by the Heavenly Father in His wisdom even if people on earth can’t yet understand it and often become indignant about the uneven distribution of earthly wealth. But He Who knows all, Who understands every deficiency of the soul and would like to see the same perfection in everything also knows to offer the right help and only places upon each human being what is necessary for the benefit of his soul. Every day is a step closer to happiness …. so take care that you climb one step after another …. and not step back ….

You will eternally thank Me, your Creator, for every sorrow that I have put upon you and will praise the wisdom of Him Who created you and Who wants you to be near to Him forever …. You should always know that the Father does not want to lose even one of His children and that He cares for every being. And this care often necessitates methods which seem hard to you, since you cannot imagine the magnitude of the calamity that threatens you …. if you could fully understand you would pray for suffering only to avoid this adversity, but you must live your life without knowledge of your situation and strive to ascend of your own free will and in order to achieve the highest reward ….

Amen

Answer in love …. explanation for suffering ….

B.D. 0580 from September 12th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Where there is much light, there is also much shadow …. People often harbour an unusual hatred towards their creator, Who loves all souls equally without reservation. Nevertheless, people do not know how I share, as it were, in the suffering that oppresses them and how I take it upon Myself to offer them the healing potion that makes their fate on earth more favourable. They can partake of every grace and every relief will be granted to them if only they want it …. Yet in such a hardened state it is difficult to turn their will towards Me, and yet I must respect everyone’s free will …. I must not intervene arbitrarily and change destinies, which would only have the opposite effect …. a strengthening of their self-consciousness …. because this would move these children further and further away from me. If a permanent state were to arise in which the human being on earth were to be liberated from his suffering, immense selfishness would soon take hold and the soul would find it difficult to free itself from its shell, for every spiritual question would remain unanswered by people, since life in carefreeness would offer enough to satisfy the human being’s thoughts. It would indeed be incomparably better for the earthly body, yet it will pass away and nothing of the pleasures of the world will remain for the soul, but it will pass into the beyond naked and freezing and have to accept the same battle there …. …. yet far more difficult …. which I would have spared you in earthly life out of false fatherly love. Do you not believe that your father, in His wisdom, recognizes everything and always determines what is best for His creatures? Should it not be left to Him, to Whom all creation is subject, which path He marks out for the individual being? Would you know the torment that awaits you if I let you live unrestrainedly according to your wishes? Or can you judge what bliss awaits you if you correctly value the life imposed on you and live according to My will? Do you believe that I take pleasure in seeing you suffer.

O you fools, My love suffers with you whom I have created …. and yet no longer want to be Mine. The desire for you is unspeakable but My power is of no use there …. you must voluntarily find your way to Me, and this cannot be achieved again through a comfortable and carefree life …. In eternity you would then not find the path to Me. For I Myself am love, patience, truth and mercy …. How can you reconcile this if you believe that I want you to suffer …. If you confess Me you will feel My love like mild balm on your suffering and My grace will constantly help you …. and all suffering will be taken from you when it has fulfilled its purpose …. the connection of the child to the father’s heart ….

Amen

Renegades …. honour and glory …. earthly reward …. gods ….

B.D. 0581 from September 12th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Woe to the apostates who recognized Me and yet left Me again …. Their fate will not be easy in the hereafter …. They rejected, although they recognized what was right, and now bear witness against Me, for they are more tempted by earthly power and favour than by the crown I promised to My own …. And so their life on earth will certainly leave nothing to be desired in terms of honour, fame and prestige, yet they sacrifice their soul to it and depart from the world in poverty …. Whoever claims fame and honour for himself will be without My grace, for only the humble are entitled to it …. everything that pays its tribute to the world must also receive its reward from the world, and this will be meagre for the soul. If you are offered the food of heaven, you will stand high above them, for you will be granted divine favour where they crave human recognition. There are no people so great before God that they should be celebrated like gods …. Everything breathes only self-love, imperiousness and pride …. The free man feels this and turns away, whereas the slaves of the world and its rulers unite and offer their gods the sacrifice of their subservience ….

Thus countless people do not see the coming time as a spiritually revolutionary turning point …. instead, they only pay attention to earthly goings-on and do not focus their attention on the most important thing, how God Himself relates to all earthly events. How many thoughts people give to trivial problems and how unimportant the one problem seems to them …. the question for what purpose they are here on earth …. And it is certainly such a desolate time that they would have to turn their attention to their inner life and would like to pay full attention to every time phenomena, in what connection these are with the eternal deity. Life’s only task is to redeem the soul …. it is infinitely more important than to raise perpetual questions of controversy which have absolutely no connection with spiritual fulfilment.

O, what strength these people waste on trivialities and how poorly they consider their own soul …. which is far more in need of help in adversity and misery …. As a result, live peacefully side by side, you who are all My creatures, and make no distinction between the value of the peoples …. Have I not created them all, and who will presume to be the most valuable of their kind? If you had grasped the true meaning of life, then the noble instinct should prevail in your hearts, which turns to protect the oppressed and abhors the oppressor. The time of suffering on earth will still teach you many things …. But before you do not become humble and stretch out your hands, pleading for help …. until you first give glory to God and recognize Jesus Christ as the son of God, the suffering on earth will not turn away from you, for He Who took all guilt upon Himself and suffered on the cross for mankind …. He was one of the least of these and had all power to exalt Himself as king of the people …. He remained poor like His poorest brothers on earth, He was a friend and saviour of all the poor, and His redemption was the ignominious death on the cross …. Whoever on earth becomes a partaker of worldly honours is far inferior to the lord Jesus Christ …. He must first descend from his throne and humbly bow his knees before Him, the crucified …. before the ruler of the universe and all creatures …. so that He may raise him from the dust and draw him to His father’s heart ….

Freedom of belief …. natural explanation …. joyful labour of the soul …. reject ….

B.D. 0582 from September 13th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

If your prayer is to remain unconstrained, unite yourself in spirit with your heavenly father and let the thoughts come to you, then every mechanical exercise will fall away and you will pray to God in your heart. The lord hears everything, every thought and every longing for Him, and words are therefore not necessary …. On the other hand, all truly good thinking and willing will be blessed.

This connection with the world beyond is the only way through which the lord can make Himself known in such a way that people retain their freedom of faith. An obvious proclamation from above would put them into a state in which they would be forced into a faith even against their will …. And such a directed faith, an acceptance of the doctrine of God through certain coercion, is without success for the soul. This is why God’s messages must be conveyed to people in such a way that they are not forced to believe in any way …. The lord certainly has many means to make Himself heard, but as long as the human being has a purely natural explanation for it at the same time, he is completely free to decide to regard something as an act of nature or as God’s openly expressed will and then to take a stand on the eternal deity. It is extremely difficult to restore faith to people who have dropped it after a brief examination and wrong judgement, and it takes unspeakable patience and perseverance to steer them again and again towards an area to which they are more hostile, and therefore it always remains a tremendous task to teach such apostate people the profound knowledge of God’s love. On the one hand, extremely strong evidence is required, and on the other hand, this evidence must still be within the realms of possibility, because otherwise there could no longer be any talk of faith but the person would have to accept what is obviously presented to him ….

The soul has a wide field of work …. without rest it must be active as it has to utilize earthly life appropriately …. With profound faith and clear realization it has to use all its strength to reach its goal. Yet if it loses time by neglecting its work on earth for lack of realization, it will have to struggle increasingly harder the later it has found it …. It will have too little time for its actual activity and only an extremely strong will will succeed in making up for what it has neglected and working on itself with increased vigour. So now the lord wants to come to the aid of those and give them hints, so that they easily accept faith and through this acquire means of help …. (interruption)

But again there are so many dangers which threaten such a soul if it unwillingly approaches the work which is only meant for its advancement. For it remains in a constant battle with evil forces as long as it does not strive joyfully upwards …. Only when the strong urge to always do only that which is pleasing to God can be felt in the heart will the influences of the evil powers become weaker and finally no longer be able to bother the earthly child at all, for then this power is broken by the heartfelt desire for light, which can only come from above. If the soul is aware of its weakness in its desire for God and sincerely asks for strength, then it will be carried upwards, as it were, by spiritual power …. A soul that asks will have everything at its disposal that is conducive to progress, and once it has realized its task, it will follow it joyfully and eagerly. However, the stronger desire can also apply to matter, and this is the decline or death of the soul …. and completely useless is the time on earth, where only the body comes to its supposed right, but the soul languishes and languishes. And then no thought will turn to the spiritual, rejection, mockery and contempt towards all spiritual subjects and complete emptiness of heart are the characteristics of such erring souls languishing in the shackles of matter. They do not recognize the lord’s great goodness and are too far removed from the father of the space …. And if the divinity also works visibly, they prefer to close their eyes and remain in spiritual darkness …. All will see the signs of heaven, but they will only mean what they are supposed to mean to a few …. warning signals of greatest distress …. Those who heed them are not in danger of being completely engulfed by the devastating torrent of fire that is now to pour over humanity …. (interruption)

Inner humility …. fright and panic for the obstinate ….

B.D. 0583 from September 14th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Above all, take care that you do not fall into the error of valuing yourselves higher than you are in relation to the deity …. This will always mean a lack of love for God, for only those who feel small can find the highest concept of love in God and become a true child of God. It is still up to man to create his own relationship with the eternal deity …. The way he looks at himself will also be the way he acts towards the deity. A child with the right will can completely hand himself over to the father and can then only ever, under the influence of divine love, utilize earthly life powerfully for eternity …. Cast all your cares upon the lord …. If only you would take this to heart …. To know that there is one Who can avert everything …. and then to be able to make yourselves worthy of His help is a comforting thought that makes life on earth far easier to bear …. There is still time for inner repentance, for God’s mercy and patience have no limits …. Time and again it tries to draw people’s attention and intervenes here and there through strokes of fate in the ranks of people, so that everyone should pay attention to an invisible hand and a supernatural power …. Anyone who only ever gives a little space to such thoughts which point upwards will also find it easy to recognize, yet there are so many who cannot tear themselves away from the world even for moments …. who accept everything with the greatest matter-of-factness and never seek a spiritual explanation for all occurrences …. There it is unspeakably difficult for the spiritual beings to make contact with them in order to be able to work spiritually. In order to come to the aid of these countless souls, even worse things will have to happen on earth if a small spark of light is to light up for them and their thinking is to be stimulated. Behold, there the lord must intervene with increased power …. He must awaken the sluggish from their slumber and instruct them to do their work so that they do not perish in spiritual sluggishness. But even then only a small part of them will seize the lifeline and allow themselves to be guided by knowledge …. And so in the near future the obstinate will be exposed to nameless misery …. Terror and panic will reign among the sluggish, for all these are God’s creatures …. He wants to save all of them from their misery and can only do so in such a way that the freedom of will in man remains inviolable. If the lord has expressed Himself so obviously and people carelessly pass by this call of mercy, then the gate of life will remain closed for them and their portion will be death and destruction, for they carelessly rejected God’s love ….

Now mankind has been given a clear picture of what will befall it at all times, and yet it has remained the same in its actions and behaviour because it does not respect the word of God for what it is …. But when this word will be fulfilled, then there is still the opportunity to repent, and you will be accepted in the last hour …. Therefore, when the Lord speaks to you, open your eyes and ears and pay attention to His words …. For His word is truth and life ….

Amen

Work of the spiritual forces …. inner life …. grid …. mercy of God …. necessity of sorrow ….

B.D. 0584 from September 15th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

It is in the power of the most high to create whole worlds …. and it is also possible for Him to dissolve everything into nothingness, but what is of God will never perish, and even if the earth and its inhabitants become entangled in the deepest darkness, it will never be destroyed, but the good forces will immediately seek to win back all beings on earth. An endless battle will be waged against all those powers that oppose this endeavour of the good spiritual forces. Such an endeavour will certainly extend over thousands of years, but divine love will never cease, and this love will ensure that no being will forever distance itself from the supreme deity but will gradually approach its starting point again, albeit over a truly endless period of time …. Without question, the spiritual forces find themselves in situations where all their efforts and labour seem hopeless, but thanks to their perfection they can approach the most difficult problems …. they can initiate people into everything, both in the earthly and in the spiritual realm …. they can first train him to become a person capable of thinking and judgement, put questions into his heart that he seeks to fathom …. they can make the wonders of creation clear to him so that the spirit in him becomes active …. and after a person has been prepared in this way, they approach him with the most important task of life …. They direct his mind upwards towards the eternal creator, and now an awakening of the inner life begins in the quite pre-formed earthly man …. a searching and questioning …. a feeling and sensing. And once the human being has come this far, he is no longer lost for eternity, then the heavenly father Himself puts him in a position to nurture this inner life so that it grows and flourishes and bears fruit. Once a person has reached this stage, he can no longer fall back, for he has eaten the bread of life and will eternally desire it and yet also be satisfied. Only to the weary and sluggish is ascent tremendously difficult, for just as he does nothing to expose his body to any exertion, so he also leaves the soul in permanent inactivity, which is like death. For a spiritually active person is, as it were, at the source of life where he finds refreshment in abundance, yet, as in a desert, no refreshment will beckon to the sluggish person, he will only ever carelessly walk past this …. has no desire for spiritual strengthening, and therefore his soul is constantly in need as long as the body is empty of divine grace. Thus the soul does not leave its shell so easily …. (interruption)

(15.9.1938) This is, so to speak, like a lattice which can only be opened through the mercy and love of others …. If a person does not make himself worthy of this mercy, he cannot be assisted, but again the slightest deed of love is enough to give the soul God’s mercy and love. In the sphere of the world beyond only mercy and love can intervene to help, for the soul is unable to do anything on its own …. it must only have the will to separate itself from matter and long upwards …. otherwise, however, it is completely dependent on the love of other spiritual beings or the prayer of earthly people, whereas its earthly existence gives it daily or hourly opportunities to cultivate a field of love for itself which will again bear rich fruit for its life in the beyond and it need not go hungry there. Either the soul leaves earthly life with a treasure of imperishable goods, such as works of love for its neighbour …. Or it stands completely empty at the entrance to eternity and remembers with remorse what it missed out on earth. The state of their helplessness is so extremely oppressive that, if humanity knew about it, they would never be so hardened as to prepare this state for their soul …. but even if they are told, they do not believe it and still remain unteachable, for all otherworldly messages disturb their enjoyment of life and therefore they prefer to deny everything and easily ignore things which come from the realm of the invisible. The world wants to be dealt with harshly …. with all love and kindness alone the divine saviour achieves nothing, for they do not hear this voice of love or deliberately ignore it …. then only such events can still bring help which shake the calm of man, that he only then realizes that he does not live arbitrarily on earth, but that everything must have its well-considered reason and final purpose …. If God is not heard in His love, then He must let the human being feel His power so that the resistance will be broken and he will recognize the greatness of the one Who created him ….

Amen

Word of God …. work …. bread of life …. power ….

B.D. 0585 from September 16th 1938, taken from Book No. 12

Whoever believes Me in everything will always be blessed …. But work on yourselves is a prerequisite for this, for only through this will it be possible for you to recognize. Behold, so many have the will to enter into eternal glory but do not consider that they must also strive for it immediately and that the incomparably beautiful reward must also be attained.

They only take everything in with their ears and put it aside again at will, whereas they should allow My words to penetrate deep into their hearts and only ever live by them. Only then is My word the true life …. And that is why a true master of his life can be called the one who takes My word as his guiding principle and endeavours to fulfil My will, to keep My commandments and thus cultivate love. And then My word is the source of all his vitality …. it is My guiding word which introduces him to eternal truth, which he now recognizes because My word gives him the strength to do so. Thus you need only always endeavour to listen to Me and you will be guided into all truth through My word and will no longer be able to go astray. Through the ether waves you will hear the voice of the one Who is in you, around you and above you …. And you walk as it were as receivers of this voice on earth and have no idea how the spirit of God already embraces you, no longer leaving you out, you who give yourselves to Me …. If only you are willing to hear My word you are accepted into the circle of My angels and will henceforth be able to do nothing against My will if you trustingly hand yourselves over to Me …. Put your ear to My heart and hear the voice: under your hand the work will arise which shall testify anew to the world of My love, and you are instructed to let the divine spirit speak in you in order to bring the promised solution to a new world of peace, which is that everyone shall share in the glory of God who lives according to My word. For he will see no boundaries between earth and heaven …. he will be able to walk unhindered from this world to the beyond, he will be allowed to let his gaze wander into all glory and nothing will remain hidden from him, for those who have My word have the strength and this strength allows them to overcome everything that stands in the way between earth and the heavenly paradise. And this word of Mine will endure for all eternity …. But you endeavour to absorb it as the true bread of life, for it will lead you over into the spheres of paradise and prepare eternal bliss for you ….

Amen

Lorber Great Gospel of John Volume 8 Chapter 189/Verse 20, read on 22.9.1938

“For truly I say to you: A pure and spiritually strong man is a lord of the spirits of nature, thus also a lord over the elements and also over all animals, plants and minerals, whatever kind and species they may be. For if a soul is filled with the spirit of God, in whom dwells all power and strength from God, he can also command all nature, and even the mountains must bow before the power of his will and his undoubted faith and trust in the one true almighty God.“

Banished powers …. matter carrier of spiritual substance ….

B.D. 0586 from September 17th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

All the forces of heaven and earth are held under the spell of My will, as it were, for if they were to express themselves completely and freely, people would freeze in horror. Everything that exists on and above the earth would have to fall victim to a single moment of unhindered unfolding of the forces of nature. But the effect of the evil spiritual power would be even more devastating if it had unrestricted influence on people. But there is a limit to these powers where the soul decides in favour of the good. Thus, those souls also remain untouched by the constantly lurking danger of losing themselves into the boundless …. i.e. they are not exposed to the forces whose endeavour is to dissuade the soul from the intention once it has taken hold and to become unfaithful to itself. Anyone who has not yet recognized the power of such hostile forces in the maelstrom of life has not yet penetrated the world that bears witness to God’s greatness and omnipotence. Good and evil forces fight against each other, each allows its power to come into its own …. every being feels the influence of both, and yet people move away from believing in such supernatural powers …. They attach too much importance to their earthly life and have thus become completely incapable of distinguishing between the concepts of creation …. They completely misjudge the purpose of life, they remain in no way creatively active when they deny that every matter in the space of creation has the task of being the bearer of a spiritual power, for without this prerequisite they can never contribute to its higher development, but they are like a plant, which means that the outer shell of a plant, according to God’s will, often only serves as a feast for the eyes of people but otherwise does not fit into God’s work of creation in any useful or fruitful way …. In the same way, such people would certainly enliven the valley of the earth, but in complete ignorance of their task they would be like those plants, merely a witness to God’s will to create, but without any appreciable benefit for themselves or their fellow human beings. And such a person could also never be spiritually active, he would be deprived of every ability since he would not utilize such an ability in the creator’s will. All matter is a carrier of spiritual substance …. and everything that arises on earth only ever has the purpose of higher development, but it is never up to the human being to arbitrarily deprive matter of this spiritual strength …. Only those people would always lose divine grace who regard God’s creation as so imperfect that they deny the smallest being in nature the divine power …. the soul …. They do not consider the close connection between themselves and those small beings …. They are only convinced of their mission on earth when they recognize the same in all other creatures, and this cannot be made credible to them …. According to their concept, all the value of life lies only in the fulfilment of their earthly activity. They prioritize this and henceforth remain anxiously concerned about the well-being and woe of the body …. This, My child, should make your endeavours easier and give you new nourishment, so that your will does not falter and you continue to devote yourself joyfully to your spiritual work. Faith shall revitalize you and strengthen every deed of love, and My love shall be bestowed upon you at all times …. for in love for Me you will find everything that is beneficial for your senses and your spirit …. it brings you into a state of ever more ardent desire, and this will be fulfilled through your lord and saviour Himself ….

Amen

Earthly knowledge …. wisdom of God …. truth through the spirit of God ….

B.D. 0587 from September 18th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

All that the earth harbours of knowledge and experience is not in proportion to the infinite wisdom of God. People want to put their own wisdom first and do not consider that understanding is also a gift from the most high, and even when used in a good sense, it is only tiny compared to the wisdom of God. Do you have the gift of being able to fathom what purpose the millions of stars in the firmament serve? You can only ever accept what is given to you from above as an explanation, but you can never go one step further on your own, because for you all the stars are distant from the world, only visible to your eyes as tiny dots. But now consider that God has accomplished unspeakably many creations which are completely alien to you …. consider that every work of creation, in wise foresight of its purpose, fits into the overall creation in divine order …. consider that you face all these works of creation without the slightest knowledge …. Then perhaps the lack of your own wisdom will be clear to you, you will realize that you can only fathom nothing in the world in depth purely intellectually with the gift which the lord has given you …. You can guess and just believe …. and therefore always remain ignorant as long as you do not give the spirit within you the freedom to be active for you. This spirit will then introduce you to the truth and completely open up all areas to you if only you have the desire to receive enlightenment for the purpose of your spiritual further education. After all, you see so many riddles in nature every day which you accept, perhaps questioning yourselves about them or wondering …. you cannot find a comprehensive answer if you want to explain them purely intellectually. Ask your creator Himself …. He will not withhold the answer from you if, after fervent prayer, you listen attentively to the voice within you that introduces you to inexplicable territory. A little while longer, and all doubters will experience things that will shake their security to the core. For the lord will make himself known to everyone in order to try to save everyone’s soul, and then your speeches will form an easy foundation on which to build …. The distant shaping of life will also help to change the minds of those people, for God has the destiny of each individual in his hands. God’s wisdom is unlimited, how could a person measure himself against it and claim something with the certainty of someone with full knowledge that is completely beyond his judgement. God gave man the intellect to be able to judge everything in, around and about himself to the extent that it visibly gives him cause for enquiry and pondering. But God has reserved the answer for Himself …. And He gives it to the one who, as a child, begs the father for enlightenment …. but not where man relies on his own knowledge and deems himself too exalted to childishly ask for enlightenment. Put aside your arrogance where problems of creation are concerned …. Knowledge of spiritual things is completely independent of worldly experience, and intellectually highly developed people often find the gulf to spiritual knowledge considerably wider because they find it too difficult to descend from the heights …. than a human child who trustingly and believingly recommends himself to the divine heart of the father. These bridge the gulf with ease, but all the knowledge in the world only helps to widen the gulf, for the human being distances himself from pure inner faith in the lord God as the sole controller of the universe ….

Direct connection …. breath of God …. heavenly peace …. happiness ….

B.D. 0588 from September 18th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

Behold, the power of the spirit fills your heart …. you must never worry about what is beneficial to your soul. For man continues to receive the food of heaven as long as he desires it. By your desire for it you can recognize how the spiritual forces protectively accompany you through life …. how they are only ever intent on guiding your soul fully and completely into their sphere, and once this has been achieved you will never want to return to earth. Everything earthly will glide past you like a dream and you will only ever hear the voice of the lord when your spirit is awake …. What is offered to you is all the more valuable as no human influence extends to this work, but arises from a direct connection with the spiritual world, and so no counter-expressions of fellow human beings may put you off or make you undecided. Behold, when does a person experience such an obvious grace from the lord without entering into contact with that world …. Those people will only concern themselves with earthly questions and can therefore never gain insight into an area that does not interest them because they close all their senses …. The person who opens himself to the power that wants to flow into him will receive, and the breath of God will touch such a willing child …. This breath is power, is grace and is divine spirit. If you declare your willingness to receive, you will be given unlimited …. And a peace will take possession of you that only the saviour Himself can impart to you. And where heavenly peace beckons to you, you will hardly long to return to earthly life and only long for the moment when the soul is robbed of its outer shell. Take care now that you remain at peace …. that you do not loosen the connection to the divine saviour …. that you only ever strive to come ever closer to Him, and the lord will stand by your side again and again. Whoever loves Him will be loved again with full strength, and what it means to possess the love of the heavenly father cannot be explained to you humans on earth. That is why the lord has already placed the feeling in your heart for your earthly existence, which triggers the bliss of happiness in you …. if you love and are loved again on earth, you will bear the burden of earth much more easily …. How much easier to bear this burden must then appear to you when divine love is given to you. And this love expresses itself so tangibly when you walk joyfully through life and only ever long for the upward. This is only a foretaste of the great bliss that awaits you in eternity. Your longing for the saviour will be indescribable and the fulfilment of this longing will be unspeakably blissful. Anyone who tries to clarify the concept of ‘happiness’ within himself must give himself the answer that this concept can only be explained in supernatural or supersensible terms …. That no human being can create this satisfying state for himself at will, but that this state of happiness always presupposes the fulfilment of a longing. And so the spiritual forces on the other side constantly bring such teachings to the earthly child, through which the desire is awakened in him to become a partaker of divine love …. The love for the saviour becomes ever more powerful and soon takes hold of the earth child with all its might …. The more intimately he strives towards the lord, the more lovingly he is received, and the radiance of divine love makes him happy and creates such blissful peace that there is nothing more blissful to be found in the whole universe than to always be honoured by the love of the lord.

So let our teachings penetrate you and listen up! In the time of ripeness you will all have to work to bring in the harvest, and so you will be constantly required to work as labourers in the vineyard of the lord and have willingly offered your services to the lord. In this way, everyone has taken on their mission from the lord, and the lord will guide you according to His will; as obedient servants you will carry out what He asks of you. In these times, increased commitment is required, for only love for one another can bring salvation …. the lord blesses every labour of love and is anxious to draw souls to Himself. Nevertheless, you will have to struggle, practice patience and love, for only through good example will you be successful. The call will go out to you to stand up for the name of the lord ….

Limits of the mind …. worldly wise …. "I know that I know nothing …."

B.D. 0589 from September 19th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

The work of the spiritual forces must begin at the limit of the intellect, for you humans would never be able to solve the riddles of nature with your knowledge if these same forces did not want to impart knowledge to you at the same time so that you can easily enter into the workings of divine creation. The spirits who dwell around you instruct you and try to guide your thoughts so that they come close to the truth. And the more you cultivate faith within yourselves …. the more you feel the essence of the deity within you, the brighter and clearer these thoughts will be able to penetrate you. Only those who believe that they can completely fathom out of their own strength what the father of the universe has still concealed will remain unsuccessful in their struggle for knowledge for a long time …. He will always be unsure of his success …. he will always have doubts about the truth of his findings, and he will have to admit the inadequacy of his knowledge with the words: “I know that I know nothing”. But the inner connection with God gives him the key to all knowledge and at the same time the guarantee that he is on the right path and in the fullest truth. God has arranged it in such a way that the spiritual life in a person is completely separate from purely earthly endeavours and that the spiritual bridge is only entered by those who are absorbed in the spiritual and whose actions and deeds are rooted in the realization that they belong to God. Let the wise of the world enquire and ponder …. The lord has set His limits, which they cannot cross without His help, and this again must be fully consciously requested …. For he who thinks himself above prayer is on the way to losing himself completely …. However, anyone who is able to send up a heartfelt prayer to the father of all is already working with spiritual strength and can now continue his research and pondering without having to fear going astray …. For the help he asks for is granted to him from the very beginning. Thoughts now come very easily to the truly pious person, he only needs to absorb them and knowledge will be opened up to him about all things he deems desirable to explore. However, if you allow such people to express their experiences they will always encounter hostility and rejection from those who believe that they alone possess the ability to find authoritative insights, and thus the worldly wise man who does not recognize God correctly …., if not godless world wise, with his supposed knowledge and the seeker of truth who stands in deepest humility towards God and wants to serve Him and people, to whom this truth is conveyed in the richest measure by the lord Himself, will always fight against each other. Yet the world will never allow itself to be convinced of how little it can achieve in the field of knowledge through its own efforts. Rather, it will oppose this right endeavour with everything and will want to persecute and pillory the bearers of truth …. But as long as the lord Himself works through them, any action against this is fruitless. The power of worldly people is small, they are only able to carry out their disgraceful plans through free will, but the effect will be weakened by God so that the child who wants to serve God need by no means fear falling victim to these counter endeavours …. After all, the final decision is always in the hands of the heavenly father, only in order not to interfere with the human being’s free will He must allow each person to act as he pleases …. Yet He protects His own from the poisonous spittle of those corrupters of the world and creates confusion in their own ranks that makes them take notice. The laws of nature are always the cause of well-calculated results …. But when the wise deity Himself overturns such a law, because He has the power to do so from eternity, and people are then perplexed by phenomena for which they know no explanation, then they are given proof that their knowledge alone is still very incomplete. And so generations can deal with problems again and again …. they will never reach the final solution by purely intellectual means, but will be completely initiated and enlightened in a very short time with God’s help. If you ask for it, you will never walk in darkness and on wrong paths, but your path will lead you safely towards your eternal home, since God Himself has shown it to you ….

Amen

Revelation of God's love …. fatherly love ….

B.D. 0590 from September 20th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

It is unspeakably blissful to gain the kingdom of God and the urge to ascend is powerful when God’s love has revealed itself to the earthly child. For the human being dwells in earthly regions as long as his spirit is veiled, but as soon as God’s grace pours out upon the earthly child, acquired through activity in love, the soul will detach itself from its covering and seek its goal in union with the spirit of God. It will realize how all spirit emanates from God, which brings about the ennoblement of the human being …. And now it will never fail to gain and ask for God’s grace so that it will not lack the understanding to recognize what is right and to use its time on earth in accordance with God’s will. For once God’s love has revealed itself, the earthly child will never be able to let go of its creator and will now choose the shortest path which will lead it to the father and will focus all its attention on establishing the right relationship with the heavenly father, which will then also secure all the father’s love for it again. For God promises His children eternal life …. and wants them to share in His power and His glory. Whoever wants to see the glory of God must feel like a child of the father, love Him above all else, and out of this love will grow the strength to always live according to the divine will. Thus the path to eternal bliss will be easy and will not require much effort. The lord will take possession of anyone who joyfully submits to God’s will, endow him with His strength, strengthen him with His love and prevent him from ever straying from the right path, but only ever striving upwards ….

Right representatives of the word of God …. position in earthly life ….

B.D. 0591 from September 22nd 1938, taken from Book No. 13

So know that righteous judgement will be expressed where one will stand up for the name of the lord. These are the true representatives of My word on earth who will stop at nothing and follow the voice of their heart. Such people cannot always withdraw from earthly life, for their position often requires them to persevere in a place which they have chosen themselves, and yet even in this situation the spiritual powers come to their aid so that they can separate themselves from every activity which is directed against the word of God. In direct connection with their earthly activity they also have the opportunity for lively spiritual exchange and thereby also find the necessary strength to resist where they are required to stand up against the word of God. Once a person has acknowledged his God, his fellow human beings will not be able to throw him off course and will even find in him an energetic opponent who fully stands up for what he has recognized as right. Just always convey the pure truth to them and they will stand up for it wholeheartedly and fear no earthly power. They will cling to suffering, it will only give them ever greater reason to be spiritually active …. All their endeavours will be aimed at learning to understand divine providence …. They will recognize a test from God in every adversity and regard their whole existence on earth as a process of purification, and they will endeavour to work on themselves to the best of their ability, well aware of the only purpose of earthly life. Once the truth has been revealed to them they will remain faithful to the divine creator and willingly sacrifice their good life and earthly possessions to Him, for they value the word of God, His love and grace far more than earthly possessions. The lord makes them think twice …. by sending them the truth from several sources …. Only the attentive observer sees how the threads of the eternal deity converge …. and He will guide man’s steps to where he hears the voice of God. The desire for this has become so strong in him that he will always be on the right track, regardless of whether he is threatened by external obstacles. He remains true to himself and does not let go of the father once he has recognized Him …. That is why he will also be protected by Him Whom he carries in his heart and he will be allowed to walk his path without worrying about falling victim to the workings of earthly power. Therefore always only let your father in heaven rule …. He alone knows what you need …. He alone has the power to avert physical and spiritual disaster from you, and He alone will one day give you the reward that He has promised to those who are faithful to Him. The greatest power and the surest protection is His word …. if you have this, you will go through earthly life in safety and reach the goal ….

Amen

Spirit of God ….

B.D. 0592 from September 23rd 1938, taken from Book No. 13

Thus the spirit was guided so that it found the way to God in the midst of all dangers …. He was unable to resist His divine power and remained in the power of the one Who gave shape to his life. Yet how unspeakably difficult it is to get rid of the demons who also test their power on him …. How the spirit of God must be active and seek union with the soul without interruption. And all the more so the more purposeful the person is as such. How often his perseverance is directed towards precisely the opposite endeavour than this union with God. Then the soul moves on the wrong path as long as it is in spiritual distress. For the violent intervention of divine power would never trigger love for God …. man must find himself to God and then want to serve Him in love. Thus every spiritual product …. every instruction will bring about a finding of divine love, and a rebirth of the spirit will now take place without resistance, and the heart will now open itself to everything spiritual, and the human being will receive the grace of heaven and now only care for his soul. Therefore, only let the father take care of how He cares for His creatures and only include all those you love in your prayers …. Remember the power of the most high and resist all doubts. Those who descend to you through the etheric blue have great power, and by virtue of this power they work in the spirit of God and leave no stone unturned that is useful for the soul to recognize. Many will be left on earth on a trial basis in order to express themselves visibly, and you cannot judge which paths are prescribed to them …. but light will shine wherever their work begins and hearts will be kindled in love …. Then know that their task is an extraordinary one …. Meet them with good will, allow yourselves to be taught and listen to every word that is given to you. For if the spirit of God is to fill you, you must grant Him entrance into your heart ….

Amen

Light beings in matter …. help for the weak-willed …. humility ….

B.D. 0593 from September 24th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

Begin in the name of Jesus: And the way will be shown to you which leads to salvation. The earth will harbour countless beings which descend to men from the kingdom of light, and all these beings pass over into matter, and they likewise seek the connection to mankind …. by allowing the spiritual to have a strong effect on them in order to flow over into the earthly people who enter into contact with this matter. And so a new bond is created from the light to the dark night …. This light will spread a strong brightness and trigger a sense of well-being in its bearer. And so, in turn, the opposite pole will lose its power, for that which is its abode will also be seized by a good spirit and weaken evil and immediately turn it into the opposite. In this way the lord seeks to grant succour to those who are indeed in battle with the darkness but do not possess the necessary willpower …. and who want what is good but do not fight sufficiently …. But their will allows God to mercifully intervene, and the great love of these beings of light willingly carries out this task in order to save souls for eternity …. Such an endeavour is by no means harmless for these beings of light which embody themselves in matter, since it likewise requires and presupposes great spiritual strength …. yet the beings of light help each other so that none of them will succumb to the power of evil …. And people are thereby offered a grace that cannot be measured by human intellect. Admittedly, people will still have to bear much suffering, yet anyone who senses within himself that life not only imposes earthly duties on him …. anyone who quietly contemplates whether and how he fulfils God’s will can already expect such a willing response from the spiritual world; and whatever he then touches in blissful awareness of the helpfulness of inscrutable forces will radiate such strength upon him …. And so the lord allows those whose minds are receptive to His gifts of love to taste the divine power …. And when they then pay attention to their free state, when they fulfil their longing upwards …. for detachment from this earthly world …. then the word of God will also be proclaimed to them at the right time, and with a hungry soul they will willingly accept it. They will no longer seek the land promised to them on earth …. Similarly, the spell that the forces of light voluntarily took upon themselves when they succeeded in awakening a soul to a spiritual morning has also been broken. The sole aim of all beings of light is to gather the divine and guide it back so that it may recognize the eternal deity and merge with It again for eternity. Where such great help is offered to you through the infinite love of God, it only requires your will for good …. The lord recognizes the weakness of His creatures and does not want to let this be the cause of your downfall and therefore strengthens you where you yourselves lack strength. This strength will come to your aid in everything that surrounds you and you should only pay attention that your spirit becomes active and demands clarification …. The lord prepares the strangest experiences for you and allows everyone to share in them. Only the hardened and completely turned away from God will want to dismiss this experience with contemptuous behaviour …. But the rest of you, who feel in your heart that the father is calling you, pay no attention to these people and do not be put off …. but accept what the voice of the heart tells you …. listen to the father’s call and give yourselves to Him with all your will, and you will experience His strength and love in you, you must not waver once you have made the decision to commend yourselves to the lord. Only your complete devotion will make you overly strong, yet those who resist will become weak …. for their strength is not from God, it is a deception of the evil one who incites them to resist in order to plunge them into the abyss forever. Thus the earth has been granted a time of grace which will be extremely beneficial in the midst of suffering and misery, for those in misery will seek and find help …. and often in a marvellous way …. Just watch out for the signs, for the lord will make himself known everywhere …. Jesus Christ is near you …. to deliver again from the bonds of darkness all who are of good will. And He will come as He has promised. He will gather His own around Him and be in their midst …. and He is near to everyone who willingly opens his heart to Him …. Whoever prepares a home for Him in his heart will have His grace and love to look forward to and will always feel the caring hand of the father for their time on earth …. “Let the little children come to Me”, so His call will ring out to all who want to recognize Him as father …. “For theirs is the kingdom of heaven ….”

Amen

Separation from the matter …. arrogance …. consciousness of weakness ….

B.D. 0594 from September 24th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

It is of incalculable advantage if all inclination towards matter is stifled in the human being, if the spirit can free itself from it and thus take flight into infinity unhindered. The world holds the soul on earth with iron fetters, and only a strong will succeeds in loosening such fetters, and if now for the time of earthly existence all strength is lacking and man lets himself be driven without will by the storm of passion, the world’s drive unleashes itself …. Then the spirit will never be able to soar freely and rise above the earthly sphere, it will rather be held captive …. only the body with its desire for worldly fulfilment comes into its own, but the soul is poorly considered …. it languishes and suffers unspeakably, unable to unfold and pursue its liberation from matter. At the threshold of death, the scales often fall from a person’s eyes and he realizes the extent of his guilt, which entails unspeakable torment in the afterlife. The soul from God always remains the same in its essence, it has only fallen away from the path of knowledge …. it has, as it were, fallen victim to arrogance and can only ascend again in the opposite way …. through the recognition of its weakness and the strong desire to be received again by God in love. This is most likely to be achieved on earth as a weak earthly creature, because the awareness of its weakness and inadequacy allows it to approach the creator humbly and pleadingly …. But if, instead, earthly existence again produces an arrogant being which does not want to humbly submit to its creator, then the extremely difficult transformation of this soul must now be brought about in the beyond and the suffering for the purpose of purification will therefore be far more painful there than on earth, and before such a soul is purged of all impurity, a very long time often passes and many a soul is spared great suffering until (if) it allows itself to reach the state of maturity on earth ….

Amen

God's word …. spiritual power …. mind …. inventions ….

B.D. 0595 from September 25th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

In this solemn hour, the lord speaks to you through His servant John and informs you of things that are beyond common knowledge and that should help to enlighten you. For there are those in heaven and on earth who represent the office of mediator …. who receive from God and give …. and who pass these gifts on to people. Every instrument on earth is under divine protection so that the words given from above are also received and passed on purely. Whatever messages spread across the earth during this time will always remain an incomprehensible blessing for people. Every teaching from God is opposed by opposing powers who want to destroy what the lord God Himself wants to build up, and if there is now a threat from this side, the lord will inform you first in order to prevent this plan, which applies to this work and thus to the pure word of God Himself. Attempt after attempt will fail, which will always be directed against the word of God. All recognition of divine wisdom is of no avail against the ignorance of people who only reckon with earthly powers and pay no attention to anything spiritual. A sharp boundary will be drawn, for all that is spiritual will unite and separate itself from the world of thinkers and know-it-alls who deny all spiritual power. People demand proof of such a power and would be just as incredulous of an obvious proof, only in the remote effect would they still want to recognize a miraculous intervention of a divine power, but even then still to a limited extent. For science has recorded successes on all sides and this will push faith back more and more, but one thing people do not consider is that these successes were also more or less brought to people by spiritual power …. that this spiritual power has manifested itself through all those people who have made new discoveries and inventions in the field of science. The more simple-minded a person is, the more deeply he can devote himself to the belief that the worldly wise …. the intellectuals must also recognize their cleverness as a gift of the supreme deity …. as a spiritual manifestation of power, which turns more to some people and less to others. All spirit from God stimulates man …. the more intensively this spirit of God flows into the human being, the more active such a person’s work will be …. that the spirit and divine power is therefore the cause of every earthly invention …. but that all this is dead beginning, only of use to the world and earthly followers as long as it is not recognized as a purely divine product but the human being claims recognition of his achievement for himself. Every human being only carries out what he is commissioned to do, and this commissioner is always the eternal deity, Who presides over everything that is created with His will …. and every human being is always only the executor of God’s will in everything that comes into being …. Only that man uses his creative power and creative power, which comes to him from God, of his own will to create works that do not serve the common good of mankind. This is against God’s order and can never be approved of. If everything that is created by human hands and for which God gives His power would always correspond to the good purpose, then such a work would truly remain blessed by the lord for a long time, and only good things would always adhere to such works and endure. The inventions, which again are only to fulfil their purpose in destruction, can by no means be blessed by the lord, even though the divine power has also animated man and produced earthly things. The power is given to every human being without distinction, but one’s own will uses this power for good or evil, for evil powers likewise sought to exert their influence, and man willingly accepted such influence, making use of divine power, yet subordinating himself to evil. Furthermore, in their arrogance people want to attribute all successes to themselves …. deep, serious reflection would have to teach them that they did not create themselves in this way, that their intelligence is also a gift from a higher power that cannot be appropriated arbitrarily by anyone. Thus God endows each one differently and gives each one the gifts that enable him to live his higher development. Spiritual endeavour brings him no visible benefit, and therefore he also leaves aside the urgent necessity. He exploits himself exhaustively and the gifts bestowed upon him for the purpose of spiritual development have just the opposite effect …. to place his own ego even higher instead of giving thanks and honour to the divine creator, Who in His love has so richly provided for him as a small being. Tireless spiritual labour earns the human being the highest reward in eternity …. yet no matter how valuable earthly work may be for earthly existence and also be of benefit to countless people, it will not be of any noteworthy advantage for eternity, for the most significant work on earth is invalid in the face of death …. Nothing the soul can take over from its work on earth, unless excessive love for fellow human beings has stimulated the creative urge and the works have only arisen purely out of compassion and neighbourly love. Then God does not judge the work, but the degree of love of the creator. Thus, intellectual wisdom can indeed become a great blessing, both for fellow human beings and for the person himself …., but only where it is recognized as a gift from God and received with the deepest humility and gratitude. For there the childlike relationship with the heavenly father is not disturbed, but established in all intimacy, and thus the person’s knowledge can unfold blessedly and assume the highest dimension, for the father will always increase this gift where it is used correctly. The light will therefore always shine brightly and clearly where divine strength comes to light, and this strength will express itself where wisdom originating from God is recognized. Such people can be completely permeated by the spirit of God and their thoughts will never be focussed on earthly possessions but solely on exploring divine wisdom ….

Amen

Revelation teaching of Jesus Christ and suffering on the cross …. God's voice …. wrath ….

B.D. 0596 from September 26th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

In a short period of time, the word of the lord will be heard. Everything that lives there will hear it. The lord will also allow insight into the realm of the supernatural for a short time …. you who are destined to make His will known to people …. and things will be revealed to you that will astonish you and make you realize the greatness and omnipotence of God. If you always remain willing to serve God, He will introduce you to all glory so that you may make this known to people on earth and thereby avert much suffering from them. Nothing will be left untried by the lord of heaven and earth which could have an enlightening effect on humanity, the lord will always bestow His love and patience upon the children of earth once again in order to save them for the eternal kingdom. You are so far removed from true faith that it truly requires great things to awaken you …. you must completely change your thinking in order to come close to God’s activity and reign. For His goodness and gentleness will not reach you who turn away from the eternal deity …. of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten son. Abandon all modern-day constructs and receive the lord alone into your hearts, and you will get through the worst of times safe and sound. You will want for nothing, and no danger from outside can harm you if you only lift your eyes trustingly to Him who suffered for you on the cross. What was His death but a labour of unspeakable love for you? And this love still applies to you to the same extent today …. again the saviour would like to take all suffering upon Himself in order to redeem humanity, yet it so stubbornly turns away from the one Who alone brings you salvation …. They only know God as the creating power in nature …. its thinking is so blinded that it believes itself to be self-creating, that it does not recognize a being Which, as it were, holds all the strings of people in His hand …. Mankind is still being granted a probationary period in which it wants to pay attention to this problem and can still adapt in time. But woe betide them when the lord lets His voice be heard and anyone who closes his ear to this voice is dealt with harshly …. The lord will show Himself to them in His wrath and everything around them will perish in great distress when the lord will stretch out His arm over those who deny Him …. Then His word will be fulfilled, that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in the ranks of those who are from below ….

Amen

The great of the world …. Security for life …. Struggle for the soul …. Prayer ….

B.D. 0597 from September 26th 1938, taken from Book No. 13

And the great ones of the world will realize that they are small and powerless and cannot do anything on their own that could improve their situation. And if they do not reflect on their origin out of God, they will not find a way out of their misery ….. Only the one who is aware of this has the means in his hand, because he will trustingly turn to the One who created him and present his plight to him …. and also find there the help he hopes for. The others, however, wander restlessly through hardship and danger and find no way out, because they close themselves in false pride.

The condition will be especially agonizing for all those to whom the world has offered a lot so far. Their only concern is to find an adequate security for the later life, and they do not consider that this life can already be finished another day …. they do not consider how much more valuable it is to provide for the peace of the soul than for the security of the body. For in the former, they can leave life every day with the guarantee of exchanging it for a better hereafter ….. The security of earthly life, however, never guarantees the same in the hereafter.

And so such a soul will always leave earth in need and find an empty place over there, wherever it wants to take up residence ….. In the struggle for existence on earth, it is always advisable to consider the soul first and to lead the struggle primarily for the soul, then the body need never fear to be considered disadvantageously on earth, because then all sufferings are unnecessary for such an earthly child, which without these, already finds it’s way to the Father and has recognized the advancement of it’s soul as important.

Therefore, earthly knowledge, earthly power and reputation will not bring any advantage to the soul, but every human child must strive for this equally eagerly, whether high or low, whether poor or rich. No-one can easily or carelessly gain entrance into eternal bliss ….. All face the same work, which only free will can overcome and accomplish. And every human being can only be helped to fulfill his earthly task by heartfelt prayer …. Whoever thinks himself too exalted to ask God for help, will certainly be great on earth, but one of the last in eternity ….

Amen
