Do not be beguiled by the charms of the world. For you are in great danger and the salvation of your soul shall be more important to you than anything in the world. If you want to serve the lord you have to give up everything that connects you to this earth, you have to consciously defend yourselves against the temptations of the world. The fight against these strengthens the spirit in you, and you become as it were conquerors of matter free from the power of evil. Everything you see and feel harbours immature spirituality which you must resist, for the earth with all its glamour and outward appearances is given to you as a stone of offence …. as a temptation …. so that you should test yourselves against it and learn to resist this temptation of your own free will. Once all the glamour of the world has taken possession of your heart, the struggle is unspeakably difficult and then you must use force to acquire the kingdom of heaven. Only in the constant battle against temptation is it possible to lift the soul’s distress and redeem it from the dark night. It languishes all too much in the bonds of the matter surrounding it, and its desire is to be liberated from it. That is why man must avoid everything that could thicken its shell …. He must try to bring it relief by willingly giving up everything that binds him to the earthly world and turning his thoughts to the spiritual world. As a result, the soul becomes light and bright and its state becomes freer and more …. It seeks connection with the divine spirit slumbering within it, which can unite with the soul the freer it becomes from matter. Thus, resistance to all worldly desires is always a prerequisite for the awakening of the spirit within …. For the state of the soul can never improve if the body gives in to earthly desires, and therefore the soul can never become a receptacle for the divine spirit. The world is indeed very tempting and is therefore a constant danger for the soul, but since man has all kinds of help at his disposal during his life on earth, he still has the power to resist it. The divine creator leaves no being defenceless and powerless through earthly life …. he can procure every protection and every help through prayer, and whoever makes use of this means can become master of every earthly temptation, for through prayer he becomes partaker of all the lord’s grace and need never again fear being defencelessly at the mercy of all the temptations of the world. He increases his spiritual possessions to the same extent as he makes use of prayer, thus he himself has the possibility and the power to figuratively separate himself from the earth and to fully satisfy himself spiritually in return and to exchange far more beautiful things for the soul than the earth can ever offer the body in terms of worldly fulfilment. And thus man gives up nothing when he avoids the pleasures of the world, but gains unspeakably much, for the pleasures of the world are not of lasting …. they are fake and fleeting …. but the spiritual pleasures outweigh all earthly things and will last for all eternity ….

Amen

People do not pay attention to their spiritual state when they are in the midst of their daily worries. They go about their earthly work and are not in the least concerned about connecting with the eternal deity. They are therefore unable to establish the child’s relationship with the father, and so they remain separated from the father in heaven as long as they are too busy with earthly activities. The simplest solution at all times would be to commend themselves to divine grace …. They would then draw in such great measure, and their earthly activity would also be blessed by the lord. Insofar as the thought of God accompanies the path of life, the earthly child is in an unutterably happy situation, for with this thought he also receives the spiritual powers which stimulate the earthly child to spiritual work and protect it from relapsing into completely earthly interests. The actual work on the soul begins when the human being only deals with the divine being in thought …. when he asks the question within himself what the purpose of life on earth is and what his own relationship to the divine creator is. Then he has willingly given himself into the power of good spiritual forces, which now utilize this power and in turn use everything to keep the thoughts in the same direction …. that they are constantly concerned with infinity and their creator. Anyone who once directs his spirit in such directions will also change his own nature at the same time, for the thought of God …. which is always preceded by a turning away from the earthly, will understandably result in self-refinement, which is again an influence of higher spiritual beings on the human being’s mind …. But the strength will only be given to the human being in all fullness when his heart has become love …. when it cannot help but give love out of God-consciousness …. then the human being will increasingly shed his bad habits, he will spiritualize himself more and more and the greater will be the influence of his spiritual friends on his soul. Man’s endeavour is then an easy one if he willingly surrenders to this spiritual power that is well-disposed towards him …. What at first caused him unspeakable trouble has now become easy work for him, which he joyfully fulfils. To know what task God has assigned to man and to be able to fulfil this task wholeheartedly is in itself such proof of divine grace that gratitude for it will drive man to strive most eagerly. For to go through earthly life without knowledge moulds this earthly life into difficult activity that does not satisfy the soul. As long as the connection with the father is not found, the days lived on earth are useless for eternity. Only when love is active in man, consciously or unconsciously, does man truly begin to live on earth. The state of mind will then be a bright one, he will look at everything around him with recognition, he will give in to the subtle stirrings of the heart and seek and find inner peace in the thought of his creator …. He has recognized the sole purpose of life and now seeks to fulfil it with zeal …. He only looks at everything from the point of view of this realization and willingly allows himself to be guided from above …. the help sent to man by God …. and his path must now lead him safely towards his eternal home and his divine father ….

Amen

Without beginning and without end, from eternity to eternity, the lord God makes people feel His love …. All things breathe God’s love, and the patience and gentleness of the lord makes them endure. And if the lord so obviously works to bring light to His children on earth, this is also proof of His immense love for human beings, whom He has placed in the universe in order to make all its glories accessible to them one day. Such fatherly love also never allows beings, great and small, to be hopelessly at the mercy of evil power. God’s will and power will always set a limit to this power so that it does not seize the erring soul too much. People’s energy is already an obstacle where the enemy feels paralyzed. The power of action is given to man and he can use it at his own discretion, since at the same time he was also given free will for the earthly career. Whoever makes little use of this energy puts himself into the hands of the enemy, and the eternal deity, Who placed him in the universe, must never be blamed. For every human being is considered by the father in such a way that he has a measure of willpower at his disposal. However, he often opposes this with his own sluggishness and the strength of will is thereby extraordinarily weakened. This is a danger of the greatest importance …. for this sluggishness extends to both earthly and spiritual life. The person who is always active in the worldly sense will also tackle the work on his soul with the same vigour in the case of realization …. He will have the same endeavour to continue the work he has begun for the soul as he does for earthly activity. It is therefore the greatest danger for a person to be inactive on earth, for his soul will then likewise die and his time on earth will pass unused for eternity. The heavenly father’s love constantly influences the human being and provides him with every stimulus in order to awaken him from such weakness of will, inactivity and lethargy, and if the human being’s will to serve the lord God is good, these stimuli will increase the urge to be active …. But if the human being resists, then the soul, in its distress, seeks a way out by inflicting all kinds of plagues on the body with the help of the good spiritual beings, with physical suffering, depression or discomfort, which make life difficult or unpleasant for him. And then the person looks for a way out himself and, in order to overcome all these resistances, begins to strengthen his will, which then also has a favourable effect on his physical creative power ….

Amen

Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them. The lord’s words should bear witness to the lord’s immense love and goodness, Who accepts all who long to come to Him. Man often does not realize how easy it is to connect with the lord …. how he only needs to open his heart …. how he only needs to be willing to hear the lord’s words and how the father already draws near to His child and listens to it …. Let your thoughts wander to the lord and saviour, and do not resist them, and you will soon come to Him yourselves, and He will bless you …. And once you have opened your heart to Him so that the lord can enter it, He will never leave you, He is concerned about you in constant love to protect you from harm. He wants to take up residence in you Himself, and so that this residence becomes worthy of Him, He gives you strength and perseverance to love Him and thus come ever closer to Him. Like children you should throw yourselves to the father’s heart, you should ask Him in childlike trust that He, as father, may look after you constantly and …. you should endeavour to establish a really intimate relationship so that you turn to Him without shyness and no anxiety or fear prevents you from opening your heart to Him. He has created you and destined you to enjoy all the glory of heaven one day and, as His children, to share in all power and glory …. But now you must also see your father in Him, you must love Him with all your heart, ask Him and entrust yourselves to Him, as the relationship of a child to its father demands …. In childlike love you must do everything the father asks of you, you must keep His commandments and practice love so that the father’s eye rests favourably on His child and He blesses you. And if you are blessed by Him you will fare well on earth and you will find the strength to turn your full attention to the salvation of your soul, for love for the father is able to do everything ….

Amen

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Word shall remain forever. And anyone who believes in this Word will never ever die, for everything that belongs to Me has eternal life …. And yet you will have to struggle and fight for this Word of Mine. You are approaching a time which will demand utmost responsibility from you, you will have to demonstrate that you are living creations of the Deity and not the children of evil. And if you produce this evidence you will be blessed for all times. My Own will have to fight and must indeed very much defend themselves against the enemy, for all earthly powers will oppose that which came forth from the eternal Deity and will not shy away from any means to achieve its complete annihilation. Yet even during the darkest night the light will shine for all those of you who hold on to My Word, and you will be able to take the path without worry of going astray.

And thus listen: Wherever the world intends to work against Me that is where I prepare the counter-offensive, and this will make the earthly power’s resolve waver, for it will suddenly behold the Lord’s avenging hand in the sky. And this will only show itself after their regulations and laws attempt to utterly eradicate My teaching …. thus, when it is clearly recognisable that the teaching of Christ may no longer be offered to people …. Only then will I intervene in order to safeguard My fighters who are working for Me from the worst danger at the same time. So wait for this time calmly and confidently; when the need is greatest I will stand by your side with My help and will certainly know how to stop the host of My fighters from becoming dispersed or destroyed. Everything is subject to Me, in heaven and on earth …. Oh, what folly it is to oppose Me! …. And if they don’t believe in My might then it must be visibly proven to them. You should use your power on earth truly wisely for the glory of God and your own salvation of soul and not try to establish a kingdom on purely earthly desires and advantages which can only be described as a kingdom of Babel if you overestimate your own power and, with total lack of responsibility towards the divine Creator, believe yourselves able to issue instructions which oppose the Lord’s will …. At the moment it is still left up to individual people to deal with this issue, which is decisive for eternity, in their hearts …. But soon you will be given guidelines as to how you ought to be thinking …. The world and its representatives will endeavour to curtail all knowledge about the teaching of Christ …. It will be most strictly demanded that the still existing documents and Scriptures must be handed in, and people who won’t let go of My Word will suffer serious inner conflicts …. And then I will remember them in their adversity ….

Anyone who wants to keep Me in his heart will never be abandoned and earthly authorities will not be able to touch him, for My power is greater than theirs. The instigation of the world which concerns the total destruction of God’s teaching will be recognisable both in its consequences as well as in its defeats, for at first I will allow it to happen in order to draw everyone’s attention to it …. Only when the effort is clearly identifiable, when no more doubts regarding the seriousness of such plans exist and when the distress of My Own is greatest will I reveal Myself and stretch out My hand in judgment against the deniers of My Word, and when this hour has come you, who are faithful to Me, will realise that you are visibly guided by the Father’s hand. Regardless of what the world imposes on you, you should only ever look up to Me and in firm trust of rescue from adversity look for My spirit …. which will equip you with strength to resist and will never ever let you move towards ruin. In order to protect your soul from danger I will constantly work in the midst of you as a sign of My presence ….

Amen

Let the heavenly Father’s Words gently end in a prayer, which all of you should send up to Him whenever you suffer adversities: ….

Let Your peace be with Me ….

my dearest heavenly Father ….

Give me strength to fight down here ….

and fortify my will.

Grant me Your grace at all times ….

show me the right path to go ….

Let me always and without hesitation

be of service in honour of You ….

And when I come upon difficulties

let my faith grow even stronger ….

Hold on with Your love to me,

your weak earthly child ….

Help me to find My Saviour

through the flurry of the world.

Protect and look after me ….

always and forever ….

Amen

Now pay attention to the words that come to you from the height …. The spirit of man has the ability to rise above all earthly things and to take up residence in a region that is inaccessible to the body as often as he wishes. He then leaves the body behind on earth and swings out of the earthly sphere into the sphere of otherworldly spiritual beings in the blink of an eye. Only the body has entered into a connection with the earth and its matter, but never the soul and the divine spirit. These can free themselves at will from the bodily cover surrounding them and take up residence completely according to their will in the height or also in the depth. Not the slightest compulsion can be exerted on this soul that has escaped the body …. The sphere in which it sometimes thinks is freely chosen by it and will naturally always adapt itself to the state of maturity in which the soul finds itself. And only the shortest time will be needed to mature an earthly being staying in spiritual regions such that it can leave the valley of the earth …. yet such a person is often assigned a task which requires more time to be accomplished than was needed for the actual state of maturity. Such cases are extremely rare that one can speak of perfection on earth, but it is certainly possible for a seriously striving person to overcome earthly life with all its attractions and temptations, with all the dangers for the soul, even in a shorter time. It then only remains to fulfil the activity destined for him on earth and to be active in the will of the lord …. and that in spiritual relationship. Such people are called to offer a firm anchor point to the many weak, erring souls on earth who are tossed about by the winds and weathers of earthly life and who have so far cared little or not at all about their soul’s salvation. And such people will fulfil the task assigned to them in a far shorter time because they themselves felt the lord’s grace in them and can now eagerly and convincingly commit themselves to something which is exclusively for the soul’s advancement. And therefore your activity on earth will certainly secure your earthly life but first and foremost put you in a position to impart all the wisdom you have heard to your earthly brothers and sisters, and thus the word of God will constantly work through itself …. It will be heard by those who desire it, and the spiritual world will only ever endeavour to convey this word to people on earth in order to train steadfast, eloquent and fully instructed teachers who are living carriers of God’s word and who have been chosen by the lord with wise foresight for the consolidation of God’s word among humanity. And thus the extraordinary will take place on earth, that those who have hitherto walked ignorantly through earthly life will know about the word of God …. and that the knowledge of the worldly wise will be of no other use than to fulfil the human being’s physical needs. But what the soul needs, the lord Himself gives as food …. He nourishes those who approach Him for food and drink and sends it to them directly from the heavens, and the world of spirits in the beyond completely joins the lord’s will and works ceaselessly to honour the most High by giving news of all the glory which, created by God, is to come to His children in eternity. And thus the truth will be proclaimed to every child on earth who is willing to serve …. For to the humble the lord gives His grace ….

Amen

See how powerful the urge for perfection is in you once you have taken the right path …. You will then listen to the soul out of inner impulse, you will help it if it seeks to unite with the spirit of God. And you will use all means to ascend, for the voice of the heart speaks within you, which I make sound Myself so that you will find Me. And thus your path on earth in constant contact with Me will be an easy and blessed one, for in the midst of all the dangers of the outside world this voice will keep reminding you of your actual task …. Behold, My child, the voice resounds so often in your heart and admonishes you to be constantly spiritually active. And again and again you receive teachings which are intended to mature you for your destined earthly activity. High demands will still be made of you but you will grow in will and faith and thus you will always receive the strength from above which you need for your earthly as well as spiritual work. If the state of your body so often wants to keep you on earth and you find it difficult to find the way upwards, then remember that a struggle strengthens and increases willpower and that the soul must therefore also be subject to such moods, precisely for its perfection. The heavenly paradise will make you completely forget the difficult days on earth and you will also understand why everything had to be the way it was …. And you will thank the creator, Who guided you in His wisdom. Behold, My child, blessed is he whose will is able to subordinate itself to My will …. to whom the struggle on earth brings this success and who always seeks his highest satisfaction in the fulfilment of My will …. His days on earth will also be easy for him, for his confidence is great that My will guides him correctly …. Always endeavour to put yourselves into the state in which you surrender to Me without will, then you will grasp My promises and become worthy of them, for you humans still resist My instructions too much …. You still very often want to go your own way and do not completely abandon yourselves to the guiding hand of your father. The slightest resistance will make your life on earth considerably more difficult, for then the father in heaven will have to admonish you and send you disagreements so that your soul will heal. Therefore, in every ailment always only see the loving care of the father, Who wants to make you submissive so that you remain in His will, Who finally introduces you to all glories if you submit to Him unreservedly ….

Amen

The lord’s ways are marvellous, and by completely submitting to God’s will the human being is always visibly guided towards what serves his soul’s perfection. And so all the hours you use to win erring souls for the kingdom of heaven are also particularly blessed for yourself. The slightest encouragement of such a soul can already cause it to turn more and more to spiritual thoughts. These people will see something unusual in such an experience and, even if they cannot completely fathom it, will nevertheless pay more attention to the words and try to give an account of it to themselves, and their further life will always be somewhat under the impression of what they have heard. Similarly, their thirst for knowledge will also be stimulated, they will seek to investigate and no longer live thoughtlessly, for many are willing to believe if only God’s teaching is offered to them in the right way. That is why people on earth should use the time and diligently seek and investigate, only always on the path of the heart …. They should never switch off God when faced with the most important, solely unsolvable question of life, but ask their creator for an answer, and this will then become clear and undoubted …. For God alone is able to solve this question and will instruct man and give him explanations according to his desire and willingness to believe. Man is indisputably the greatest miracle of divine creation and was truly not created this way without meaning and purpose …. All functions of the body serve to maintain and determine it, and likewise the activity of thought must also be based on a certain intention which aims at more than just the exercise of earthly activity …. It must be clear to the human being that, if many miracles of divine creation exist apart from him, visible and invisible to man, the activity of thought can and must also extend to such. For what else would the whole of creation be for if man, standing completely apart from it, could not make it the centre of all mental activity …. How could everything be explained if all research appeared to man to be completely pointless and no connection whatsoever could be established between human thought and creation in the universe? What is visible to man must inevitably stimulate him to reflect, and this in turn must lead man to conclude that he is a being to Whom everything is subject …. Where thoughts are once in such activity, faith must also start there, and if the human being then turns to precisely this higher being in incipient faith, asking It for realization, then his desire will be granted and his thoughts will wander ever deeper and, because they are correctly guided by God, will soon come closer to the truth and strengthen faith in the human being, for no-one who takes refuge in God goes the wrong way. Everyone who recognizes a deity should bear this in mind …. that this eternal deity will not let Its living creations grope in darkness if they have approached It for enlightenment. The creator of heaven and earth will always have the means at His disposal to approach the human being in a clearly recognizable way, only the human being must have the full will to do and recognize what is right and turn to the creator with complete faith, then his path on earth will truly be the right one ….

Amen

Every being that comes into contact with earth has to fulfil a visible earthly purpose and at the same time an activity corresponding to the spiritual sense, which is only understandable when the whole life on earth is properly considered …. At certain intervals the being separates itself from its respective form …. it has fulfilled its task in it, was earthly active by enlivening God’s work of creation and has also used the spiritual time of maturity allotted to it by God in this form, so that a new form can again take up the being for further development. However, the more mature and extensive the external form becomes, the greater the resistance the spiritual being has to overcome. Every being in divine creation can only reach the state of maturity through resistance, for by overcoming this resistance it strives upwards, and this alone is valued by the eternal creator. It cannot test its strength without resistance, so to speak, and therefore cannot provide proof of its inner strength and power. If the being now approaches its perfection, which only then enables it to embody itself as a human being, then the urge for earthly activity will also increase accordingly, and therefore the souls will constantly endeavour to be worthy of a great task in order to be able to increase their own progress through this. Before its embodiment as a human being the soul very well recognizes the situation it finds itself in and has no other goal than to soon have the time of its life on earth behind it and therefore only ever wants to be active in every form in order to be able to improve the most painful earthly state, which oppresses it immensely, as soon as possible. And yet countless opportunities are missed which could alleviate the soul’s suffering …. The fight for the last promotion is often given up without resistance, it is not worked for its own good on earth, but in weakness of faith the soul is held back from its actual activity …. (30.10.1938) This process can be explained to everyone if only you consider that no forward development can take place if the being in matter is always in the same state …. but that this state will not change if the divine power cannot take effect …. but this only expresses itself when the preconditions have been fulfilled, which in turn consist of: first firm faith in a divine power and out of this faith obeying the demand made by the divine power. The spiritual being before the embodiment as man fulfils all these requirements of God, because it has to carry out the will of God, therefore fulfils his activity, which is intended for it in every form. But as a human being it is endowed quite differently, with the gift of reason, intellect and free will. Man can therefore scrutinize and accept or reject everything. And since a spark of divine realization has been placed in his heart, he can now think for himself and place himself in a state of inner faith, and only then does the ascent begin. But without faith the human being also walks his earthly path in an unchanged spiritual state and does not fulfil his task on earth. The time now passes unused which the being has striven for before, knowing that only this embodiment as man can bring him liberation from matter. All demands which earthly life makes on the human being are fulfilled to the best of its ability, and the only most important one, the higher development of the soul, is disregarded. And yet the being has to walk this earthly path without knowledge of the actual purpose …. it has to acquire this knowledge on its own, since it has also been given the ability to do so …. It must find its way to the highest deity of its own accord and desire it, since only in this way can the complete return to the father’s house take place. A compelled being would never be able to shape itself in a God-like manner and would also not remain in any lasting connection with the heavenly father, for it would not yet have completely detached itself from its desires …. It must conquer them in full faith and of its own free will and thus pave its way upwards. And now it is also understandable why the spiritual life of the individual is completely independent of earthly activity …. The spirit is free and unbound and takes up residence where it pleases. However, it is precisely this activity and its consequences for earthly life that often stimulate the intellect and thinking in such a way that an explanation is sought and found as to how the spiritual activity is related to the earthly …. Then faith will set in, and with it the redemption of the soul from matter begins. For true faith brings about love for God and one’s neighbour, and love in turn is the only way to redeem oneself …. Love has a beneficial effect in every relationship …. it puts people in a state of realization …. it ennobles him and raises everything spiritual in man to the heights …. Love brings about the final union with the heavenly father, Who is love Himself ….

Amen

Those of you who long for it in your heart shall always hear My voice. Behold, My child, your life on earth is indeed a constant struggle and has to remain so until the end of your life, for this will uphold your strength of will; were you to find complete fulfilment of your wishes on earth already you would slow down in your endeavour to reach Me, and therein you can always find the explanation for days and hours which weigh heavy on your mind. Nevertheless, My love is close to you and protects your soul from being harmed. The state of constant satisfaction on earth is extremely perilous for the soul …. and My love wants to avert such danger from you and nurture ever greater spiritual activity and longing for Me in you, for this is the true driving force for the spiritual work of improving yourself …. And I Am always close to all of you, but you often fail to recognise Me and do not look for Me nor listen within yourselves, where I affectionately speak to you …. Just persevere and don’t let your longing for Me diminish, then I will take complete possession of you and give you blissful peace one day, when you have victoriously overcome the battle of life.

And thus let Me tell your heart the following: To taste of unmixed rapture here Is never to a mortal given …. This frequently used saying describes the state of suffering on earth in a nutshell, and anyone who enjoys many pleasures in earthly life is truly not considered by the heavenly Father’s love. He can only ever speak of true Fatherly love if he also gets to feel the Father’s strictness …. unless he so willingly gives himself to the heavenly Father that the Lord has already blessed him in earthly life. Yet anyone who is loved by the Father will also have to purify his nature through the fire of love or through suffering …. If his heart is willing to love and ready to lend a hand then the suffering will not depress him, in his anguish he will even look up more to the heavenly Father and become pure love in earthly life. Yet anyone who is spared suffering is indescribably poor on earth, and this as a result of his own fault …. He did not love his fellow human beings and therefore will not receive the same from the Father either. His earthly life of undisturbed enjoyment and untroubled days will indeed be far more agreeable to him, yet the state of his soul is lifeless and agonising beyond words ….

His alienation from the Father’s heart will noticeably express itself in the fact that all his thoughts and wishes only apply to his greedy striving for earthly pleasures, for due to his heartless nature he becomes subject to the power of adverse forces, turns towards them increasingly more and will be drawn by this power into the whirlpool of the world with all its temptations, glamour and sensuality. This is why you should never envy people who are apparently well-off in earthly life …. their life is so unproductive …. They gather nothing for eternity, do nothing for their soul …. yet everything for their downfall and spiritual death. And earthly life is short but life in the beyond is infinitely long …. they have forfeited much and received little on earth and are poorer than the poorest people on earth who have to endure suffering and troubled days. The more lovingly active you are on earth the more you will also be fraught with suffering …. your own and even more so your fellow human being’s suffering, for a loving heart also feels his loved-ones pain …. Yet all suffering is love again …. your heavenly Father’s tender love Who thereby wants to make you worthy of His presence and the heavenly paradise …. And if you are in a position of suffering then you should know that you are also loved by Me …. know, that you then should take only your Saviour ever more into your heart so that all your suffering will be changed into blessings ….

Amen

The world with its demands is mostly satisfied and there are so many occasions when a person is far more concerned about that which is transient and completely worthless at the end of days. And yet people’s activity should continue to be focussed solely on the salvation of their soul and the struggle for daily needs should only weigh them down to a very small extent and not be regarded as the most important thing in earthly life. For it is much easier to fulfil the requirements of the body on earth than those of the soul for eternity. After all, the greatest problem has to be solved in earthly life, it is about the liberation of the soul from the matter which has held it captive for thousands of years, it is about the final return to God, the bearer of all light, whereas the body only demands its external maintenance for a short time and this desire can be easily fulfilled with the right realization and the right attitude towards God. If the human being completes the school of the spirit in the right way, he is guaranteed to be able to expect the separation of the soul from the body well prepared for eternity, for he has then utilized the time on earth as it was his task and worked on the perfection of his soul of his own accord. The body, however, which God has given him for his earthly task, also receives the kindness and love of the heavenly father and provides him with everything necessary for life. And so worrying about it is completely unfounded; life on earth will also be far easier to bear if the state of the soul is constantly taken into account. However, this can only be considered extensively if little attention is paid to all worldly interests …. It is not possible to solve both such opposing problems at the same time …. The world with all its demands cannot be satisfied at the same time if the work on the soul to achieve the state of perfection is to progress …. Only one thing is completely possible, and therefore the human being must make a decision and can only ever be fully active in one direction. People consider so little that they have to give up everything earthly when the hour of death approaches them …. but that they can gather another treasure in their time on earth which is imperishable …. which cannot be taken from them in the face of death and which can turn death …. the parting from the world into a painless, liberated entry into eternity …. This alone should be an incentive for them to devote themselves more diligently to the actual activity during their physical life and to stifle all earthly desires, the thought of earthly care should be so far from their minds, yet every hour should seem important to them for the redemption of the soul from its shell. Anyone who worries too much about his physical well-being only has to expect that this will be reduced by an invisible power …. that both the state of the body and the possession of earthly goods will be exposed to alarming shocks …. he has to expect that both the one and the other will be taken from him in order to point him to the actual task of earthly life and to make him realize the transience of everything earthly. On the other hand, the needs of daily life will always be given to an active earthly child who is concerned about the salvation of his soul, just as the father Himself commands the children, so that they are relieved of worrying about them and can pursue their spiritual work undisturbed. What the human being willingly gives up will be given to him in abundance, for the lord knows about everything …. He also knows the needs of the earthly child and wants to make life bearable for it if it only strives for that which alone is of importance …. However, all endeavours aimed at improving earthly life are useless and therefore cannot meet with the approval of the heavenly father …. on the contrary, they prevent the human being from fulfilling the task which is the actual purpose of his embodiment on earth ….

Amen

Look within yourself and recognise your failings and appeal to the Lord for His help, then you will grow in strength and succeed in enduring all tests of life gently and with patience. After all, the Lord’s will only sends these to you for your own advancement …. A person will rarely submit to the suffering imposed on him without grumbling, and yet precisely this is a willing submission to God’s will, when the human being gladly and gratefully accepts all suffering from the Father’s hand and so only ever acknowledges that whatever happens will be right for his soul’s salvation. When the pain increases, the Saviour is placing a small cross upon you which, for His sake, you should carry patiently. Such days will make the soul infinitely happy, for whatever is tolerantly carried by the body is removed from the soul and it will enter an increasingly more liberated state. The body’s suffering is the soul’s greatest help, and if the human being bears it gladly, the soul will be grateful for it and, in turn, will use every opportunity to help the body through inner suggestions which benefit the human being’s earthly work. All suffering will only have an ennobling effect if it does not cause bitterness in the person against the One Who inflicts this suffering upon him, and thus it will only ever benefit the person’s soul. And if the temptation is great to revolt against God’s will, then remember the Lord’s suffering on the cross …. How unspeakably painful was His death, and how humbly did the Saviour accept all suffering upon His shoulders out of love for the sinful human race. If you bear this in mind, then you will also gladly carry you small cross, for the Lord will not impose anything upon you that you are incapable of carrying. And the right love for the Saviour will sweeten your every suffering …. One day the significance of suffering will dawn on you and your soul will rejoice, if you were willing on earth and gained many merits through the bearing of suffering, which has an extraordinary effect in the spiritual world. Your lifetime on earth certainly burdens you with much which seems insurmountable to you at first, and thus you quarrel with God and want to object to His most sacred will; nevertheless, God’s love will soon teach you otherwise …. it will let you realise that it is only in your best interest when He allows you to suffer, and your earthly existence will be richly rewarded if you have realised it. Therefore, always pray from the bottom of your heart ‘Lord, Your will be done ….’ and your suffering will turn into joy …. and you will gratefully accept the reward which, one day in eternity, will compensate you for all the suffering on earth ….

Amen

Perseverance in faith is unspeakably blissful for the soul. It gives it a feeling of well-being, as it beneficially experiences the blessings of divine strength and grace and the ascent to higher regions becomes easier as a result. And so a soul can only be redeemed if the human being, in profound faith, accomplishes everything that is beneficial to the soul. For faith is followed by love …. and in love the human being then seeks affirmation …. and works of love again increase the strength, attract the closeness of God, and the soul gradually releases itself from its bonds and unites with the spirit from God within it. For all progress can only take place when the soul separates itself from the desire that has hitherto bound it …. when it desires nothing other than to be with God, then every endeavour will be easy for it and will certainly lead to the goal. In order to come into possession of complete faith, man must free himself from all false doctrine, from superstition …. He must try to entrust himself to the supreme being, Whom he cannot intellectually deny, and ask this being for spiritual enlightenment …. Then the right faith will already be offered to him in a palatable form, for if the human being wants to, then he is already on the right path as soon as he freely turns to the supreme being in supplication. Only someone who is so completely without faith that he does not want to recognize anything and looks at and accepts life around and within himself with indifference, his heart is very hardened and will not come closer to faith so easily. He too will be told about the faith and the teaching of Christ, but he will reject everything and arrogantly consider himself to be knowledgeable and recognizing, while laughing at others. If such people are not taught otherwise by the deep suffering sent to them by the lord, then it looks very sad for such a soul and all endeavours of the good spiritual beings, whose protection they are entrusted with, are in vain …. It is an unparalleled struggle for such souls who persist in faithlessness, and the most extreme means must be used to dissuade them from their deluded thinking, whereas a believing earthly human being triggers indescribable joy in the kingdom of the beyond and inspires the good spirits to ever greater activity of love towards the souls entrusted to them. The slightest concession on earth will be used to influence a person’s train of thought, and thus even unbelieving people will often feel prompted to think about the most unsolved problems. They certainly reject everything but they cannot always resist their thoughts, which often lead people into areas where they themselves cannot find their way, and such musings are always of value even if they are still far removed from the truth. And no matter how devoted a person is to the world …. there come hours when even all earthly things cannot entice him …. where he thinks about the beginning and the end …. where a quiet restlessness creeps over him when he thinks of his demise. If nothing in life could change him, then the thought of death will shake him out of his mental torpor, albeit in a less than pleasant way, but it can then be built upon by the spiritual forces that care for him. And blessed is he who follows the admonitions within him …. who, even at the end of his days, deals with everything that can lead him to faith and who seriously repents in earthly life of what he has neglected and asks God for His help and mercy. The father will lovingly meet him in the last hour and bless him …. and his struggle in the afterlife will be an easier one ….

Amen

Behold, My child, you would implore the help of your spiritual friends in vain if you were not serious about serving Me. The earthly child is selfish and only ever has its own advantage in mind, and then it can never be worthy of pure spiritual instruction, and that is why such a connection from the beyond to earth cannot often be initiated, and that is why humanity is incredulous towards such proof of My love for it and yet could draw so unspeakably much comfort from My word. All gates shall be opened to anyone who serves Me with all his will, and I Myself will teach him that nothing he desires to know will remain hidden from him. And therefore I bless you, My child, and hear your prayer to give you strength and willpower without ceasing and to strengthen you in love and faith. Whoever desires such things only for My sake, in order to serve Me and come close to Me, is a candidate for the eternal kingdom and a fighter for My word and My name. The living fire of My love shall glow through such an earthly child, it shall always be honoured by My word and stand in My blessing …. and every day shall bring him My grace and My love. For I need you, My servants on earth …. I look with compassion on the great multitude of those who reject and deny Me. I see their fate in the beyond, their struggle and their despair …. I want to bring them help before it is too late …. I want to shake them awake and preach to them about My love …. And you are to do all this in My name. You are to tell them what fate awaits them if they walk their earthly path in obduracy and blindness. You should also tell them how much I love all these poor people and how it is My concern to open the gates of paradise for them …. how lonely and abandoned they are without My love and mercy and how greedily the adversary will seize their souls if they do not resist. My desire for them is indescribable and therefore I also want to use all means to win the souls that still stand apart from Me. What you often call cruel in its effect is only a sign of My love for you …. How else can I draw you to Me …. You often go through earthly life so confidently as if you had your fate in your own hands and you don’t consider that I alone have the power to rule over everything in the universe. And you sin without shyness and fear no judge …. and yet My love does not condemn you …. I bear your earthly fate with you and patiently wait for you to turn to Me …. and I am always ready for you and will never leave you even if you have missed it, if only once you have taken the path to the father and turned to Me with desire …. And if your body becomes weak then I will immediately stand behind you admonishingly and hold up your weaknesses and infirmities to you so that you pay attention, fear and then entrust yourselves to Me for help …. And then the hour will have come when the heavenly father will lovingly take you to His heart and never abandon you again. And you will therefore be needed on earth in order to prepare the ground well to receive My seed …. I will speak to people through human mouths so that they will easily understand My love, and I will work through you in order to convince them of My power …. and whoever listens to Me and finds his way to Me, I will also hear him and deliver him from the distress of his soul. But you, who serve Me, must faithfully stand by Me in every danger …. Then you will be able to carry out everything on My behalf that is intended to make the unbelievers fearful and the believers strong …. You will proclaim My name to the world and your deeds will bear witness to the power of My name. For I want you to work in My name for the blessing of those people who still go their way on earth in blindness of spirit, so that they may receive light and recognize the father in heaven ….

Amen

Let your thoughts wander into the infinite universe, which is the carrier of countless souls, and try to imagine the hardship of those who are still in the darkness of unbelief and who have not yet recognized their existence as indestructible …. These still believe themselves to be on earth, only transferred to another region and another environment through some process and cannot yet familiarize themselves with the thought that their life on earth has come to an end. They wander and search for a way out of their situation and are despondent and desperate when they see the same unfriendly and gloomy picture before them again and again. They do not want to succeed in improving their condition, because wherever they turn, they find no brightness, and therefore their condition is boundlessly miserable. If God’s mercy did not send them help their fate would always remain the same, but even for these souls there is the possibility that they will be able to free themselves from their hardship as soon as they have recognized it and are willing. The help sent to them compels them to reflect ever more deeply on themselves until they have made up their minds to take action to improve their situation. Then they will also be shown the way by the spirit beings who look after them, but who are not recognizable to them as such, and the more eagerly they follow this instruction the sooner the change in their state will become apparent, and even the smallest success will make such a soul all the more eager as soon as it notices just a glimmer of light and begins to suspect the truth. In order to make the state of suffering comprehensible to you earthly children you could only see it in a dream, and this would be so dreadful and depressing for you that you would be inhibited in your life’s work and perhaps want to take the right path out of fear, which, however, would not benefit your soul. On the other hand, however, you should be aware of the pitiable situation of these souls in order to turn your love towards them and to help them through this in their adversity. Anyone who is able to imagine their suffering will, seized by profound compassion, be able to help them through prayer for the alleviation of their agony, and this should be an indication to you to remember the poor erring souls in the beyond and not to deny them your help, on which they are so greatly dependent if their time of suffering is to be shortened, for they lack the strength which is supplied to them through your prayer or through the love of spiritual beings in the beyond ….

Amen

In hours of greatest need the saviour has always made Himself known, and so the lord will also appear now, and the power of the most High will be revealed to all the world. And indeed, the eternal deity will express Himself directly …. In a few hours all people on earth will be at the mercy of the elements of nature, and with a voice of thunder the lord will shake them out of their sleep …. And he who is blameless will see the sun rise radiantly in the firmament, and the glory of God will be revealed to him. But the others will be seized by horror …. They will try to flee and recognize the same judgement in all directions. And the lord will still gather those who pray to Him in greatest need, to them He will lovingly turn and save them, whereas everything will be destroyed that does not yet grasp the father’s saving hand. Every word of love that He speaks to His own will trigger unspeakable delights, but His voice will resound terribly to those who do not respect Him. And everything that served people for pleasure and joy will collapse under this voice. He will smite the mighty, overthrow the high and mighty, and cause the mighty to tremble, who fear nothing in the world …. The lord has proclaimed this time in word and writing …. yet people do not respect His words, and some even feel called upon to alienate His divine word, which was given to people for their salvation, and declare war on it …. This battle will take its revenge in such an obvious way on the doubters themselves, and the divine power will crush them. When that time is near, the storms will roar day and night …. The stars will go out, and the sun will remain behind the clouds, and the sky will be darkened and fire will fall to the earth, and what gathers in His name will look upon the forces of nature without fear and trembling …. but the others will be seized by unbridled terror, and no region will be spared …. panic will break out among the animals, and people will not be able to tame them, for their own fate will keep them in fear and terror. And only the light from the heavens will be able to calm people’s minds, and confidence will reign wherever this light shines and proclaims the lord of heaven and earth. All assistance will be granted to those who hear the word of the lord and abide by it, for the lord promises eternal life to those who hear His word and live by it …. He will also protect His own in the trouble that comes upon the earth. But you who serve the lord should then stand firm and not waver, for the lord has need of you and will give you strength, and if you hear His voice you will rejoice and serve Him for ever ….

(3.11.1938) And without ceasing you will be cared for by Me, for I know My own and My own know Me. They will not deny Me but openly confess Me before those who threaten them, and thus My love is also always ready for them. But because the adversary will dwell too badly to harm My own, the time of judgement and visitation will only be short-lived, for man is weak and My own shall not suffer any harm to their souls. I will also take care that the adversary can no longer harm those who plead to Me in their distress and will strengthen them in a marvellous way. Every call to Me will be heard and I will quench every suffering as soon as possible, yet anyone who remains in darkness and rebels against the one Who imposes such things on humanity will be devoured by the earth, he will turn to where his soul already lives, in the darkest night in satan’s chains. But then the bright morning will break over all My sheep, I will lead them and they will follow My call …. And there will only be one flock and one shepherd ….

Amen

Offer yourselves to the lord by overcoming yourselves and taming all intolerance for His sake, and soon nothing will be able to become a stumbling block for you. Whatever then stands in your way is only ever an attempt by the opposing forces to bring you down, and their joy is immense when they succeed. You must put these endeavours to shame and never again become entangled in the snares of evil. What is life but a constant battle against obstacles …. You are to prove yourselves in this battle, you are not to allow yourselves to be defeated but always emerge victorious yourselves, and the resistance you have to fight against will become less and less. For the power of your opponent will diminish with your strength. And every overcoming of yourselves brings you great benefit …. Your soul matures and soars upwards to bright heights because it liberates itself. However, if the weaknesses of the body are granted more rights than the soul, then the soul can easily be harmed far more than the body is benefited through false consideration. To prevent this, people are put to the test of patience, and then it is only advantageous to renounce bodily desires and think only of the good of the soul. Now try to give us your attention and listen:

The lord will not allow His creatures to make use of His name and thereby wrap the world in error. People want to reject what they should be completely committed to and, conversely, they accept without reservation what is only piecemeal …. Their zeal is to be praised, for they act with the best of intentions and do not want to go against the lord. And it will also be difficult to ever teach them otherwise, and yet such opposition should not prevent you from pursuing your activity as before. Whoever recognizes the present time and the endangered situation of true christianity will also have to have understanding for the extraordinary work of the deity. Anyone who recognizes the state of christianity today will himself consider it necessary for the lord to reveal Himself in order to inform people of His true will …. There have always been wise people devoted to the word of God, and they know only too well what effect a so-called formal faith can have, how it gradually leads to complete faithlessness …. and they would realize that people must always receive new strength if they are to remain in the word of God. And God can only give them this strength again through His word …. which in a new form …. never destroying the old, but only offered to people in pure clarity and unadulterated. No man works against God’s will who willingly surrenders himself to the lord and thus only carries out what is the lord’s will …. Immerse yourselves in the book of the fathers and read it in all wisdom after fervent prayer for understanding …. and you will pay attention and recognize that only that which the lord has already proclaimed when He walked on earth will ever happen …. And only truly pious people can pass judgement …. for those who want to serve God will also always do and recognize what is right. So only devote yourself to your spiritual activity with the same zeal and trust in God that He will lead you rightly on the path towards your eternal home ….

Amen

What has come to you through the grace of the lord, you must utilize in the form that finds the easiest access to the human heart. Man’s mind is only ever intent on cultivating the pure spiritual in second place and putting the world with its joys and demands first. And such an attitude will make it difficult to vouch for the soul’s state of maturity in life …. For only undivided labour can help it to achieve perfection while still on earth, and any higher development of the soul is always called into question if worldly interests still predominate. This is therefore a light but also shallow faith, which only expresses itself when the thoughts of God are given space in the heart …. but this requires a certain amount of time. Man should always and at all times have faith, i.e. allow it to dominate his life in such a way that he does not begin anything without an intimate connection with God, i.e. that he endeavours at all times to fulfil God’s will and thus makes it his first concern to serve God before he complies with the world and its demands. If the father in heaven were only ready for His children on earth at certain times, then things would truly look very sad for them …. And so man should always seek God first, then the earthly activity will also take its regular course, but God never wants to be put at the back or only come in second place when it is pleasing to the earthly child. If people who only keep formal commandments were to consider this, they would very soon have to realize that this cannot be true worship of God …. Man should always and forever be imbued with love for God, then he will also be able to hold dialogue with his creator in every hour of the day and will no longer be able to start anything without having asked for His blessing. And only this is true worship when a person always and at all times professes his faith in God and is prepared to serve Him. Anyone who believes in life cannot help but find the highest bliss already on earth in constant contact with his lord and saviour, he will feel drawn ever closer to the divine creator and will ultimately no longer do anything without God’s help and blessing …. And the world will no longer irritate him, nor will it be able to replace the blessings of faith, for the lord and saviour is truly the epitome of all pleasure, and His closeness and love outweigh all the joys of earthly existence. And therefore you have to shape yourselves such that the desire for the lord increases in you, and in the same measure you will be fulfilled, and your faith will awaken to life, you will now be active for the lord of your own accord and not just fulfil what is demanded of you by the commandments. And only then will you have become true aspirants of the kingdom of God, only then will you be imbued with true faith and thus live life in a truly God-pleasing way ….

Amen

The essence of the earthly path will always remain the union with God, everything else is void and improbable. And thus a person can be in full possession of all spiritual earthly abilities and yet not recognize the true reason for existence if he does not consider the whole of creation in the sense required in order to attain union with God. For nothing is more obstructive to man than to remain in the consciousness of his own ability and talent, which keeps him away from true realization …. For true knowledge is rooted solely in the feeling of nothingness towards the eternal deity. Only then does man seek a connection with the deity, and only then can the spiritual work on himself be tackled. Without this realization, however, man remains blind in the delusion of his value, and all his worldly wisdom is only a greater obstacle the more it strengthens him in his sublimity. If you want to recognize God, then look up to Him …. But you can only look up to Him in deep humility and realization of your vain ego …. And then the lord will lift you up …. for His wisdom is always and forever the same …. But what is human wisdom in comparison …. And he who thinks he possesses it is little wise before the lord. To awaken the divine spirit within oneself alone is wise and right before God, for only then can he make wisdom his own which God Himself imparts to him and which puts all earthly wisdom in the shade, and it will therefore be the only thing worth striving for in life to unite with God in spirit and then to be honoured by the eternal creator and heavenly father, the teacher of all divine truth, to receive it. And therefore only a complete devotion to Him is necessary in order to find oneself in the greatest wisdom and clearest realization. Thus all human knowledge will only be vain piecemeal, yet the knowledge of divine truths will be profound and unlimited where divine truth is offered to the earthly child in its purest form. And thus it can never be denied that every intervention by the eternal deity only ever aims to deepen humanity’s knowledge …. The human being should, as it were, be placed in a position to increase his field of knowledge without earthly help, and this through divine help in order to awaken the desire in earthly people to likewise most eagerly strive for the connection with God, so that the knowledge of things which contribute to the realization of creation and thus also strengthen the faith in the eternal creator will likewise be made accessible to them. All life gains content as soon as man has a correct image of the eternal deity and His creation, and he now seeks to harmonize every action with divine wisdom …. he tries to live as far as possible in the right order according to the acknowledged will of God and fears and is afraid of a relapse into spiritual blindness, and he will now again turn to the eternal deity pleading for help, and the spiritual friends will hastily support the earthly child so that only the will and the desire for spiritual truth will always remain active and can again and again become fulfilment for him …. Thus such human being alone remains knowledgeable and truly wise who in all humility unites himself with the lord …. who, without having striven for this union, no longer begins anything and thus his whole being is permeated by love for God, which only ever expresses itself in the desire for finite union. And this is why people often go through life so completely uselessly because they do not recognize the essentials, for without this realization all thoughts and actions are worthless …. it only moves in an earthly direction and does not contribute in the slightest to the advancement of the soul …. That is why true wisdom is only to be sought where the connection with the lord is most intimately striven for, for there the heavenly father Himself instructs, and His teaching ministry is truly beyond all doubt …. He gives purest, most pure truth to people on earth who are of good will ….

Amen

And you will be taught what you need to know, everything will be revealed to you which was previously hidden from you, and divine wisdom will be conveyed to you in an endless chain if you are willing to accept it. For the father knows what is pious for you, and thus He also knows how differently His children on earth have to be considered and how many-sidedly a child has to be taught if it is to acquire knowledge which will again enable it to assist its fellow human beings by teaching them. In this world of unbelief, such powers are certainly needed who are executors of God’s will, and this again in a human way, in order to leave fellow human beings freedom of faith …. What comes from God is also recognized as such by the true children of God, but the children of the world have no part in the working of the deity and the deep meaning of everything remains hidden to them, it is empty sound to them, which is the deepest, most delightful revelation to the child of God. The word of God is power and strength only to him who receives it believingly into his heart, but never to the man who rejects God in his heart and only grasps the literal meaning. And thus only the one who thirsts for divine wisdom will ever be instructed in it …. he need not fear that the source of truth will ever dry up and leave him without refreshment, for God distributes without limit and His word is always and forever the same, because the truth will always remain the same. And anyone who frequently tries to establish contact with the father-spirit will undoubtedly be well instructed in everything, for God will place the constant desire for ever new spiritual nourishment into his heart with the word and this desire will always be granted. And the child will hear the voice of the father, Who lovingly instructs it as it serves him. Man soon recognizes the power of God’s word in himself …. he flees the world and its pleasures and seeks his happiness solely in the frequent connection with the father, well realizing that in this connection the divinity itself is revealed and the earthly child is thereby granted grace upon grace. And once it has recognized this, it will always try to come into ever closer contact with the lord and saviour …. it will only focus all its attention on always living pleasing to God, serving Him and fulfilling His will …. for the result of the revealed will is established faith, active love for the neighbour and deepest, most selfless devotion to God …. and thus complete redemption from the fetters of matter and complete merging with the eternal deity …. and union with the father-spirit for all eternity ….

Amen

Times will still pass before the great work is completed and can be offered to mankind for inspection. However, the most important guidelines should already be followed now, and so the lord reveals to you that an intermediary will soon be found who will offer to take care of the publication of the writings. This applies first of all to the chapters which are to serve the instruction of men, and these will still be made known to you by the lord. For people should first be made aware of His greatness and omnipotence, which is expressed in His works of creation. Only then will man also gain a true understanding of God’s infinite love, and if he recognizes himself as a work of God’s creation seized by love, it will then be easy for him to serve the lord God and keep His commandments. That is why He now mentions a servant who is prepared to do everything for the lord and who is committed to multiplying the work in part. However, this only happens in secret, because God’s programmes do not yet bear the eye of earthly power …. only when faith becomes more and more purified, when mankind has recognized that only in deep faith lies the true blessing of God, will the word of God find its way into wider circles. So recognize in this the will of God when you are asked to divest yourself of the scriptures in order to make them accessible to humanity. However, the work will require much preparation and therefore cannot be tackled so quickly, so only books 8-9-10 should be covered first and from these only those articles that can serve to instruct man insofar as they illustrate the reign and work of God. The lord has wisely given them to you in a certain order so that they are easily recognizable where the number 5 is repeated. The opening words of the 7th volume are to be placed first as the leading article, and you can accept this message without hesitation, so that your will or your concern will not be opposed to the intention of the commissioner, but that you yourself will endeavour to the best of your ability to promote the spreading of the words of the lord. And every work that is dedicated to this spreading will be blessed by the lord ….

Amen

An insightful person will know how to appreciate the divine gift, and full understanding will be all the more necessary for those who themselves endeavour to give God the glory and walk on earth in a manner pleasing to Him. And these are the lord’s bodyguards …. They will stand firmly and faithfully together and fight for the word of God, they will teach the word of God everywhere without fear and thus be zealous fighters for the name of the lord. And their love for God will increase their courage and their faith will spur them on to become actively involved in the battle against the enemies of God’s teaching, and thus there will always be those on earth who all pursue the same goal and in joint spiritual work will counter every physical danger …. And unspeakably many resistances will impede their beginning, which is only aimed at spreading the word of God …. but this should in no way hinder the faithful …. The lord God always has His strength ready, and whoever stands up for Him will never be forsaken by Him. Man as such will not be able to overthrow what has already been determined from eternity, and if the lord says: “I am the way, the truth and the life …. whoever has Me has eternal life ….”, the word of God will not be destroyed in eternity, and he who makes it his own will live. So if the whole world opposes the word of God, the whole world would be destroyed before this word would be destroyed by human hands. And so the representatives of God’s word will never need to fear death, for if they fight for it, death can never be their fate …. For the death of the body would also only be a transition into eternal life, but never a sinking into eternity …. If the lord promises you this, you truly have nothing to fear, for those who want to take your earthly life can only bring you closer to eternal life, and if you lay down your life for the glory of God, your death will only be an entry into eternal glory. Anyone who feels connected to the word of God is free from all fear …. He only ever lives in faith in the hereafter and gladly and joyfully gives up his earthly existence for the bliss that awaits him on the other side. And the infinitely happy feeling of being secure will also give him all the strength on earth to stand up for the word of God, and it will also prevent him from ever denying the divine saviour and Redeemer …. he will always freely and openly confess the name of the one Who rules everything in the world …. he will feel himself to be His child and will never tolerate the name of the most high being dishonoured …. And so the gift of the lord will find its way there and give equal strength to those who believingly receive the words. They will listen and their hearts will rejoice that the lord God is so visibly telling them of His presence on earth …. And faith and confidence will increase, and the power of God will visibly overflow into people’s hearts, as God has promised to those who remain in His word ….

Amen

Abide by your inner voice which will always remind you to do what is right, and remember that the Father will in fact instruct His child correctly if only it wants to hear it. For there is a far greater possibility that an orderly accomplishment of the work will no longer be possible, but all means will nevertheless be at your disposal, and therefore you should not worry about obstacles which the Lord will be able to remove time and again if it is conducive to the work He wants to be done.

And now draw closer and receive our message: What can possibly happen to you humans if the Lord keeps His protective hand over you …. He will protect your body and soul from being harmed, He will guide you according to His will, and whatever is inflicted on you for the purpose of overcoming it only serves to benefit your soul. Therefore, don’t worry, and submit yourselves to your heavenly Father’s guidance with complete confidence. Everything on earth has its purpose; no human being knows the eternal Deity’s plans and therefore cannot easily recognise how well and wisely everything has been arranged for people’s benefit. His severity, which people often consider cruel, is always just a loving means in order to offer you something incomparably more magnificent one day. And since you do not voluntarily want to make yourselves worthy of it, it is the Lord’s will to lead you by way of suffering and sorrow to the path which makes these glories accessible to you. One day you will realise it and wholeheartedly thank the Father for every reprimand in earthly life. People on earth constantly receive God’s grace and even suffering is grace …. which is still incomprehensible to you humans. But if you completely entrust yourselves to the Lord you soon will feel the blessing of suffering on yourselves, you will realise how infinitely lovingly you are being guided by the Fatherly hand so that such suffering will have a favourable effect on you even in earthly life, however, the benefit on your soul’s life will be incomparable. And therefore meet everything the Father sends to you with complete submission, consider that not one sparrow shall fall on the ground without your Father’s will, and that everything he sends to you is only an expression of His will and mercy, the full extent of which you can only comprehend when you have become perfect. For at the moment you are still incapable of judging what is helpful to you or what is to your disadvantage, you must only ever devoutly sacrifice your will to your Father in heaven and in all suffering and sorrow pray to Him in your heart ….’Father, Your will be done ….’ Then you will also always be comforted ….

Amen

Behold, My child, whoever fights for My name will also have to suffer in earthly life, yet you shall easily endure these sufferings because you will then remember Me with firm confidence and find relief and comfort in your love for Me. And anyone who thinks of My suffering on the cross in a difficult hour will have a heart glowing with love and will, as it were, carry the cross with Me …. But he who lacks faith will have to fight much harder against the adversities of life, but these must be imposed on him if he too is to find his way to the heavenly father …. But you, who have found Me, do not fear suffering, for I approach you with great love and this expresses itself in every way, but always for your benefit …. Love knows no bounds, it is always and eternal and can never pass away, it embraces you, My children, and cannot leave you …. And all good is rooted in love, it draws man upwards, it educates and promotes him, it remains unchangingly the same, always the epitome of divine creation, it is the driving force of everything striving upwards, it is longing and fulfilment at the same time …. And without love no being will ever be able to become perfect, love is the stream of life which, emanating from God, gives rise to everything in creation and ensures its continued existence …. And so love can never be switched off, it is divine power and therefore life-giving. Thus, whatever lives must be seized by God’s love and can therefore no longer cease to exist, for the divine strength can never experience a decline, it will only become ever stronger and more intense in itself without ever losing this strength. And if you have now become pure love yourselves then you must of necessity also be strength, and this strength will then work like Me and with Me according to My will, for everything that is the emanation of the eternal deity cannot be used up …. Only the human being’s firm will is required to accept this strength within himself, that is, to devote himself so devotedly in love that the divine strength, which is pure love in itself, communicates itself to the human being …. And the human being should utilize this strength extensively …. he should only ever love, so that the spiritual power, divine love, also increases in him. He should only ever put love in front of all his actions and thoughts, then he can face any danger that threatens him from the outside, because he then has the strength within himself to be able to command a complete standstill to everything that is undertaken against him from an unloving side. The power of the enemy will be crushed by the superiority of love …. hatred will be defeated by love, and man will become master over all matter only through the fire of divine love, which purifies the soul and thus redeems it from matter …. And everything will become free through love ….

Amen

The laws God gave to the world from the beginning as being necessary for the beings’ spiritual development are always applicable for the human being’s journey through life. Forces often actively oppose them, but these are subject to a superior invisible Authority, they will always experience the effects of their adverse actions as being detrimental to them and will either turn around and work according to God’s will or, if they maintain their malicious nature, experience God’s power increasingly more severely. Hence, the activity of natural forces, too, is always and forever subject to God’s will, for were this left at the mercy of the opposing power everything would soon be a total work of destruction, since the opposing forces only ever cause destruction, whereas God’s wisdom and will applies to the preservation of all created things. Where natural forces manifest themselves destructively nevertheless, it is always the work of God’s will, but this destruction is by no means the permitted action of evil forces. In that case there are carefully considered reasons for God’s intervention which, however, only ever help the advancement of spiritual beings or the development of human beings. Even destruction has its good side in many ways. It releases natural spirits from their indescribably long state of constraint …. other natural spirits may become extensively active and thereby comply with their purpose …. and it arouses sleeping spiritual beings from their tranquillity, which can do nothing but harm to them. The fact that the effects of such destruction are often regretful for humanity is also permitted by God, it refers the complete unbeliever to His existence and is a touchstone for believers, whose strength and faith shall be fortified by it. For only such extraordinary phenomena, which natural catastrophes will always be, can place a person into a state of reflection …. When all human power is not enough to stop it, and rich and poor , high and low are equally subject to such God-intended disasters, then the question may still occur to this or that person as to why humanity has to suffer such a judgment and to what extent a divine power is noticeable. Such questions could lead to a complete turnaround of his present way of thinking and guide the human being to the path of realisation. Every natural disaster is preceded by smaller events which make such thinking easier for the human being, and each previous inner state is, in a manner of speaking, a preparation for the ensuing experience. Would the human being only once realise that all worldly power cannot achieve the slightest change in such elementary effects of nature …. that all those within the vicinity of a natural disaster are at the mercy of it …. he would have to turn his thoughts upwards and try to attain a spiritual explanation ….

However, the human race has already become far too arrogant …. at best it will describe such evident activity by the eternal Deity with the words: Activity of natural forces …. and will thereby try to dismiss everything which disagrees with its spiritual attitude. It deems itself knowledgeable and considers everything it does not understand merely an inherent manifestation of nature …. but very rarely a visible intervention by a divine Being. Their most acceptable explanation of all natural phenomena is the continued development affected by the sun’s rays which, again, are still an unexplored source of strength in the universe and which manage to achieve all life on earth, but, in accordance with that, people are nothing else but living beings having been brought to life through these natural forces, who have their beginning and end on this earth. The fact that one Being is in control of the whole universe, Which, in accordance with Its wise plan, through Its will and omnipotence, has placed each one of the living creations, from the tiniest creature to the crown of creation, the human being …. on this earth for a specific purpose …. cannot be grasped by such uninformed people. They do not acknowledge such a Being and, therefore, will never regard the activity of natural elements as the manifestation of God’s will. Those who are further away, who are not affected by it, don’t pay any particular attention to such disasters; they only ever quote similar instances and thus quickly dismiss such events. And God must use increasingly more obvious means …. He must ever more quickly let one disaster follow another and have a serious effect on people if these phenomena are to make an impression. It is regrettable as to how seldom the suffering of fellow human beings triggers true sympathy …. and how habitually a hint from above is taken in. And so the signs will have to take on ever greater proportions are they to arouse people from their tranquillity. Only when their own lives are in danger will they attach importance to something, and thus much suffering and fear will still have to be people’s fate …. and things will have to manifest themselves which draw people’s attention to a will which cannot be resisted …. Yet even exceptionally unusual natural phenomena will be explained and accepted with the greatest of ease, because worldly scholars are instantly willing to give a completely natural explanation for everything people cannot understand, yet such an explanation will never refer to God’s reign and activity and His will. They deem themselves superior to this and therefore have a completely misguided point of view which cannot be of any benefit to the people they are instructing. Many a person will still change his attitude and, therefore, will still have to make many sacrifices until he gains completely realisation, and in order to precipitate this, the Lord will now intervene more than ever by rattling and shaking the world so that all those living on it shall take note and pay attention to the divine voice, which informs them of God’s will, of His omnipotence and wisdom, and anyone who looks upon every natural phenomenon and the turbulent reign of the elements in this sense, will recognise these as the voice of God and make an effort to always do what is right before God ….

Amen

Always be aware of the great blessing you receive and always remain willing to carry out the task given to you, and the Lord will bless you. The message you receive today is intended to briefly explain the eternal Trinity to you. This is a problem you humans find difficult and yet it is so very easy to understand, for only the Deity is everything in one Person. It unites wisdom, love and strength of will within Itself. Whenever a Trinity is spoken of, it is always just the quintessence of love as the Father, of wisdom as the Son and of will as the Holy Spirit. For the Father’s love brought everything into existence …. God’s wisdom subsequently put every creation into its rightful place and allocated their tasks …. and the spirit of will animates everything and assures its existence ….

Only in this way, that everything is united within the one eternally unchanging Deity because God is forever the quintessence of love, wisdom and might, can the most comprehensible solution to the problem be found, but people often came to the wrong conclusion and, as a result, gave the misguided explanation of three deities. The living relationship of the child with the Father makes it easy to find the right explanation that God is everything in One and that no separation whatsoever is possible …. that therefore everything also has to unite itself in God. People’s limited intellectual capacity also tried to apply human limitations to the eternal Deity and imagined an entity which was intended to represent the Eternally-Divine and this in line with their own opinions and concepts.

Any personification of God is a wrong concept …. for a Being Which unites everything within Itself and Which is incomprehensible in Its abundance of light and strength cannot find expression in one person. But to enable people to form a mental concept this eternal Deity embodied Itself in a human being, so that they are indeed able to conceive an outer appearance of what became comprehensible to humanity as the Son of God. Love and wisdom, will and omnipotence were also united within this Son of God, and again nothing was separated from each other.

Through Jesus’ death on the cross the power of death was broken …. that is, it now became possible for people to conquer evil by using their will …. Will became strength at the same time, and from this time on the willing person on earth also received God’s strength to turn his will into action and thereby release himself. This strength of the Holy Spirit in turn is an emanation of the all-embracing Deity again, yet it is never a person in itself …. Intending to ascertain this kind of problem intellectually would only ever lead to ever greater misconception, for you humans have devised something that is far too human and comes nowhere near the truth if you try to imagine the Deity in triple form ….

Amen

The love and wisdom of God wants to initiate man into all the mysteries of God’s being. It wants to give light where it is desired, but worldly wisdom obscures the light from heaven, it teaches in a complicated form what is offered to man from above in the simplest form. And this has given rise to a complete remodelling of the lord’s former teaching, which Jesus proclaimed on earth. This teaching was so simple and only gave repeated references to God’s will to keep His commandments …. to cultivate love for God and one’s neighbour and to always observe that the lord’s will is always fulfilled. However, in order to achieve earthly gain, in not too long a time a state developed that strongly interspersed the initial pure and simple teaching of Christ with subsequently added doctrines and regulations, and the newly formed structure was no longer the pure, unadulterated word of God and thus also lost its power …. People have to struggle through arduous spiritual work in order to arrive at the same results which are intended by God, and so a person can certainly also arrive at that which is the goal and purpose of his life through the current pseudo-doctrine, but often only by circuitous routes if there is not the far greater danger that he will not reach realization and a false belief will not allow him to find the right path …. i.e., that is, if he is all too satisfied with the rigid form, but his heart does not find the intimate connection with the father’s heart. He who has love finds the way, but he who without love also fulfils the other requirements remains astray and finds it very difficult to find the right relationship with the father. And therefore all formal faith should be avoided, the human being should endeavour to be active in love, he is then most likely to fulfil God’s commandments and live in the true teaching of Christ …. whereas the person who fulfils all the requirements of his church simply because it demands it of him will never be imbued with the true teaching of Christ and thus will not feel the blessings of faith to the same extent as an earthly child who is turned towards God in love, who longs for God in his heart and strives to fulfil His will. So let a person always make sure that his heart is always involved in everything he does and thinks, that he is never satisfied with just one form but that he devotes himself wholeheartedly to serving God and living in a way that is pleasing to Him, then he will be in full possession of the true teaching of Christ and remain in it for all eternity ….

Amen

For all power is given to Me in heaven and on earth …. And what I do is only ever a work of mercy and love for My living creations to whom I gave life. The circle of those who want to serve Me also remains subject to My will and I make My will known to people on earth through them. For the adversity is great, people are standing on the precipice of ruin because they no longer recognize Me as their father. And I have to intervene if I don’t want to abandon them completely to ruin. And so you only see all the terrors of the earth, but not My heart, which longs for you in love and wants to save you through these terrors. The more you stand in darkness, the harder I have to attack you so that you pay attention to Me. Faith has become so distant to you, the thought of Me so rare and My nature and work so improbable that nothing can shake you up and teach you right thinking. On the other hand, the world holds you in strong bonds. You sacrifice everything to it, even that which you should still quietly keep in your hearts …. faith in Jesus Christ as saviour of the world. You also sacrifice Him for the sake of sober advantages of the world. But what use are these to you if the father calls you away into eternity. Reflect on yourselves, be selfishly mindful of your soul and detach yourselves from the world and its attractions. I fear for you and seek to penetrate your hearts …. do not close these hearts and live in love so that I can draw close to you and bring you strength in your soul’s adversity. But anyone who turns away from Me will have to struggle and fight even in apparent comfort on earth. For nothing earthly can replace the father’s grace for him, and this alone is precious for eternity. Oh, if only you would realize the worthlessness of earthly goods …. If only you would always bear in mind that the very next day can separate you from it and that you will have to pass into the beyond poor and empty …. My love and mercy constantly endeavours to spare you the great hardship there, and through suffering and sorrow I try to guide you onto the path of realization, which is never possible through joy and earthly happiness. And so I bring you anew the proof of My might and power and make the earth tremble …. A short time yet and the earth will become a place of ruins in many places …. And those who stand by Me will be given work to do on the souls of the erring yet willing children of the earth. I will remain among you, My servants, and help you in word and deed so that you only ever work according to My will. Yet I cannot avert misery from humanity, which has brought it upon itself through its depraved thinking and lack of faith. If My voice is no longer heeded, all faith among people will die out, but I want to prevent this and intervene where there is great danger. World law assures you protection if you deny Christ, yet who will protect you in such adversity? …. Therefore recognize that I alone am lord over heaven and earth and that everyone who recognizes Me and is full of faith stands in My protection, yet without this only darkness is your lot …. Recognize that all power on earth cannot rebel against My will …. and that everything must be subject to it because everything created by Me will also be governed by Me for all eternity ….

Amen

Anyone who is given authority on Earth shall administer his office wisely, for My will gave him the power which he should now use according to My will. People often place great value on exercising the latter with as much pomp as possible and forget in the process that the plenitude of power by no means rests in this and that they can be relieved of it at any time. Acting in opposition to My will is always a dissent against the One Who appointed them to this office of judge. And if whole circles unite to commit adverse deeds, the guilt of the ruling powers grows exponentially and every pressure exerted by them will result in enormous responsibility. Let Me tell you: The days of anyone who rules in the world to humanity’s horror are counted, and whoever believes himself to have sole right of existence on Earth is very much mistaken. It is not you but I Who have placed people into this world so that every soul shall mature during the course of its life, and that which is your share you should also allow the other person; don’t let countless people fall prey to great misery but prove yourselves with them. I Myself put right where it is needed, and My judging hand is just. You should never consider yourselves entitled to throw the whole world into turmoil …. you should by no means exert your authority with pressure but act as wise and charitable judges, so that one day your actions will be rewarded leniently and wisely, because …. judge not, so that you will not be judged.

Your actions on earth have such appalling effects in the beyond that you, if you knew the fate that awaits you, would be so horrified that you would be incapable of living. Do not forget My love and mercy which gives itself to all beings on earth …. I alone have the power on Earth and in Heaven, I will know how to punish those who so exceed My laws that fear, misery and horror are the consequences of their orders. The Last Judgment will affect everyone, regardless of where they come from, and then it will show who walked his earthly path righteously and who refused to recognise and follow My will. For all power is given to Me in Heaven and on Earth …. The human race will be seized by terror and those who disregarded My will shall then be stricken, and I will severely punish those who so opposed Me and in heartlessness and injustice do as they please on earth. Try to reform people, then you will exercise the judicial office according to My meaning, and not that you impose inhumanly cruel punishments on them which will never be a blessing for you, neither in this nor in the other world. For your action is merely revenge and retribution but not a just exercise of your power. You incessantly only consider how you can increase your authority and don’t shy away from using means which dishonour you, and thus you will never be able to find mercy before My eyes, for your activity is sinful and detestable. You certainly appear to benefit humanity’s physical well-being, yet your soul will perish in profound darkness if the driving force of your conduct is not love and compassion, and thus the misery of people you oppress will fall back on you a thousand fold, for I indeed gave you the power but not the right to abuse it for acts of violence which are far beyond My will ….

Amen

Behold, your life on earth is always subject to the same adversities against which you must fight. You have been given the ability to fight on the path of life and will now also have to make an effort to strengthen yourselves in this fight if you do not want to fall victim to the opposing power. The slightest weakening of your will and vigour will allow the opposing power to gain the upper hand and your battle will become all the more difficult …. whereas the more you prove yourselves against it, the less you will be exposed to resistance. So let this serve as a warning to you: Watch out for the dangers that lurk around you and fight against them …. You will have to fight as long as you walk on earth, and even in the beyond this battle will continue if you are defeated on earth. However, what is easy for you on earth will be considerably more difficult for you in the beyond. On earth you are given the strength to overcome but you often lack the will to do so, whereas in the beyond you may well have the will but you lack the strength and are dependent on the help of love. Not one being in the beyond has the strength of its own accord as long as it is not perfected and has a free spirit …. And that is why the fate of those in the beyond is so extremely difficult and painful. And on earth everything is at your disposal to a great extent; everything you want in order to mature spiritually you can achieve through your own strength …. On earth it is only decisive to what extent your will is active and to what depth and intimacy you establish the relationship with the father …. If you do both exhaustively, you are already assured of a state of perfection on earth, for then you will draw all your strength from the father Himself, and anyone who takes up the battle in earthly life against the enemy of his soul equipped in this way can be certain of victory …. His earthly career has brought about the success which should be the final goal of every human being. And when the true meaning of life becomes clear to you at the end of your days you will be grateful to the creator Who allowed you to mature through ever new adversities …. you will then see that earthly life was only a preliminary school of the spirit and recognize with bright eyes the glory which is your share in eternity ….

Amen

In the night of terror you will see the crucified one in the sky, Who will come visibly in a cloud, for His suffering and death shall again be brought before the eyes of people who believe in Him and shall give them strength to work for Him. When you see the sign in the sky do not think that all suffering is over but know that the struggle for souls will start with renewed vigour and that you shall be His fighters on earth …. know that the lord Himself is among you in order to give strength where it is needed, and not one wrong request shall be made for the salvation of people’s souls. However, you will be greatly disturbed by the renewed opposition from outside, which will hold you back from your work for the lord more than ever. You will ask yourselves why the lord allows such things, but you will soon realize that even these resistances have a beneficial effect on those whom you have already won, that they begin to follow the word of God with ever greater zeal and that the resistances from outside are only an incentive for them. For they will recognize true salvation in the word of God wherever it is offered to them, and there will be no one among them who does not also feel the power of it if only he receives it with his heart. Whoever has found the saviour in the night of terror will never let Him go, even if there is a storm around these children of the earth …. In them is peace and the firm confidence that all suffering on earth will one day be replaced by heavenly bliss. Yet the world will endeavour to make the fate on earth even more unbearable for the followers of God’s true teaching, but to the same extent they will also be given the strength to endure all the burdens imposed on them. For heaven blesses those who trust in Him. A wise householder will keep all his buildings in good repair so that he loses nothing of his property …. The heavenly father will guard all His building blocks from damage even more …. He will not allow what is His to be lost, but will only strengthen His building more and more so that it can withstand the onslaughts from outside. Therefore, leave your worries to this time of trials. Those who are willing to serve God and fulfil His will will overcome every danger victoriously and only ever work for the greater glory of God ….

Amen

God’s judgement must come upon mankind, for the lord has proclaimed it in word and scripture, and His word is fulfilled in all truth. For the lord foresaw the will of mankind to shape itself in such a way as it currently rules the world. And He repeatedly pointed to the judgement in order to persuade people to repent and thus avert the judgement, for it is only up to humanity’s will to avoid it, but if people do not listen to all warnings and admonitions, they themselves are to blame for the misery that will afflict the earth. There is an incessant coming and going, a living and dying on earth, and every generation has received news from above and heard the will of the lord …. But faith has become weaker and weaker …. everything that the lord sent to people for the purpose of instruction was rejected in disbelief, and people’s thinking became increasingly shallow. Similarly, all so-called piety has become merely formal, and this is what compels the eternal deity to intervene …. so that mankind may be led back to true faith, and so it will happen as the lord has said. The powers of heaven will unite with the good of the earth; without any visible cause, a change will occur in nature that will unsettle all minds and then freeze them in horror. Towards the end of the day you will see the threatening shapes of the clouds and know no explanation for them …. Your senses hear a strong roaring around you and above you …. You try to flee and save yourselves and yet do not know where to go, for all around you is night …. And so you are now hopelessly exposed to the powers and have only one protection …. prayer to the creator …. to the heavenly father …. He alone is your refuge and protection, He alone can bring you salvation and keep the judgement away from you …. And He will be close to everyone who calls upon Him in his distress. And therefore do not flee wherever you are …. Judgement overtakes you everywhere, and God’s help is also ready for you everywhere …. No one can escape disaster by his own strength, for the arm of God reaches all, and His love and mercy also reaches as far as it is desired. Every disaster will be stopped if the earthly child has recognized and turns to the father …. But where hearts are stubborn and hardened, the earth will threaten to burst, and many a person will fall victim to God’s judgement because he does not listen to the lord’s final warning and so there is no salvation for him. A full year beforehand the earth will be afflicted with tribulations of all kinds so that people’s minds will turn …. away from the world and towards the true goal, so that he may become a believer and seek God. And the suffering will be great but indispensable …. for the lord is longsuffering and merciful, He wants to avert the great suffering of the judgement, which can only happen if humanity turns to faith …. And that is why such immense spiritual work is being done, as it is aimed at rescuing countless souls from the night to eternal light …. Those who have found the lord will not need to look forward to the judgement with fear, they will find comfort in the promise of the lord, Who knows His own and will protect them from every danger of body and soul. And all adversity will pass them by if only they look up to the lord and saviour with faith. Anyone who is aware of the coming time and endeavours to fulfil God’s will, who always asks the lord for firm faith and commends himself to Him and His grace, will not be surprised by the time of judgement …. Whoever only looks upwards cannot be frightened by the judgement, but only the word of the lord will be fulfilled as predicted, and the lord will only visibly make His power and His will known to the terror of those who do not want to hear Him …. But this voice does not frighten His true children …. He is close to them in all love and grace and protects them so that they will not be harmed and waver in the great adversity that will come upon the earth. Therefore, pray constantly that you will remain in His love and you will be spared from all harm ….

Amen

Remember the poor souls always and in all places. They need your help and are still in contact with the earth until they have made their way to the light. All means which you use to mature your souls are denied to them, and they are only ever concerned that their suffering is alleviated, and so they wait for the help which you humans can so easily give them through your prayer. All care for your soul will one day be supported many times over if only you often remember the deceased who, once in a state of light, will amply reward you for your efforts. Therefore never disregard that your concern on earth, apart from earthly activity, is to be active in true neighbourly love and that this also extends to those who have departed from earth. Do not let them live in want, where already a thought in love, a prayer in loving remembrance provides them with great relief …. For strength flows to countless beings when a loving heart turns to the father in heaven pleading for mercy. Likewise, you should also consider how immensely important it is when love follows the deceased …. What benefits people here on earth for their physical well-being can never bring relief in the beyond, where love is the only strength and fortification, and without it the soul is exposed to all states of suffering …. Whoever has been given a long life by God should appreciate and utilize this grace for eternity and also often remember those who were called away early into the hereafter. Life often gives people the opportunity to take care of the state of the soul, where only the will of the beings is free in the beyond. If this turns upwards the soul is already very much helped because then it also receives spiritual help from above, but often the soul also lacks willpower and then its state is pitiable. And there you have to help people, you have to try to imagine that you can help helpless beings but carelessly pass by their misery …. that you only need to make very little effort and thereby can already make their state of suffering more bearable …. You must never believe that your prayer could have little influence on the situation of such souls. Where love really is the cause of prayer for the deceased, love also has an extraordinarily soothing and helping effect on their souls. No human being on earth is able to imagine the suffering of the imperfect souls in the beyond, nor can they be granted deep insight at the creator’s wise discretion, but you humans can imagine even the most terrible situation and yet you will never be able to find the right measure. Therefore give your love to the deceased and let them have your help, which you can give them if it is your will. Only love is capable of alleviating all suffering, in heaven and on earth, and you should cultivate it and never tire of it, for only love can bring redemption in heaven and on earth ….

Amen

You will be given a ministry on earth which you should endeavour to administer properly. And as you impart the word of God to people, do not neglect to ask the lord for His blessing so that every word you speak will fall on fertile ground and the seed will sprout. For you shall begin nothing without the lord …. in His name you will succeed, and His grace will sustain you effectively. And again, you must be careful to take care of your fellow human beings who go astray in all love. You are blessed to know about God’s love and His working, yet they still lack realization and thus still resist God’s word, but love will soon teach them otherwise. Earthly pleasures will also soon disappoint such human children, a deceptive happiness and an often unsatisfactory existence will mature their realization, they will realize the worthlessness of everything earthly and deal with the questions which they still reject for fear of having to forfeit the beauties of life. From this often fearful rejection, a tiny seed sometimes grows into a tender little plant that takes in more and more nourishment until it has finally become viable and resilient and defies all storms, and such a seed, planted in a person’s heart, can sprout and develop and flourish under the blessing of God and bear good fruit …. All opinions have to be confronted and every wrong opinion refuted, and if you are not yet able to do this in your own strength, you must call upon the lord for help, and He will immediately put the words into your mouth so that you speak powerfully and convincingly according to God’s wisdom. For the lord will not forsake you who call upon Him, and wherever you fight for His name, His strength will constantly come to you with every word that applies to the winning of erring souls. How often do people find themselves in situations which make them serious and thoughtful and the question of the purpose of their earthly existence is forced upon them. In such situations they then remember the word imparted to them and thus find the connection to eternity. And therefore commend such erring ones to the grace of the lord before you try to awaken them and before you want to bring light to those who are still in darkness of spirit. With the help of the heavenly father every success will be easier to achieve, they will listen to your speeches and they will be moved in their hearts, even if no obvious agreement is recognizable at first. For the word of God Himself is power, and those who hear it without resistance are already imbued with this power …. A slight resistance, however, can be overcome with God’s help, and only those who reject it with their full will cannot visibly feel the power of God …. However, their hour will also come if they have only once had the opportunity to have God’s will pointed out to them. Life itself often moulds people very quickly and has all kinds of unpleasantness in store, and no event on earth is without purpose …. And God’s love and mercy is always ready to intervene where a person despairs and anxiously pleads for help …. and even if the time is still far away …. the hour comes to everyone when he remembers his better self, and blessed is he who then still grasps the father’s saving hand ….

Amen

The greatest problem in this present time is the seizing of earthly possessions. It is truly growing in a frightening way and infinitely long times will pass by until the consequences of such projects are cancelled out again …. Intervening in public life is only possible to a limited extent, for countless followers of mammon might take advantage of this again by unlawfully trying to acquire what God’s mercy wants to take away from the human being for the sake of his soul’s salvation. For earthly goods must exist in order to test the human being’s strength and to divert their will and craving from it, for only the voluntary rejection of such enticing stimuli can cause the soul’s separation from matter. If therefore the arm of God reached out to all owners, taking or destroying their possessions by force, then this spiritual level would never ever be reached through a deliberate voluntary rejection, and for that reason all temptations for the soul need to remain in the world, to enable the human being to rise above himself and to detach himself from the longing for whatever the world has to offer. If, therefore, people strive for money and goods in such frightful way that they only consider this but never their soul’s salvation, then a time like this also poses a terrible danger for the human race, and only the Lord can counter this danger by making people aware of the transience of all earthly possessions through natural disasters, ailments or other events which reduce all possessions and more or less disintegrate them completely, without having been touched by any other hand, so that the incentive for sin will diminish and people can easily recognise the Originator of their supposed damage.

It certainly makes sense to think about it when the intervention of a higher Power is so very distinctly perceptible. That which the human being believes himself to own with absolute certainty and which he anxiously wants to protect from the world and his fellow human beings has to be shaken time and again. For this need for sole ownership is detestable before God …. Anyone who willingly shares his worldly goods with his neighbour if he owns only little …. anyone who uses his surplus to support the poor, his goods fulfil their true purpose and will be protected for the person, yes indeed, even be increased …. And a person need never fear to experience great hardship if he always makes an effort to alleviate the hardship of the poor …. For the measure you give will be the measure you receive …. Someone who always thinks of himself and his good living standard first has to be prepared, for the Lord will make His presence felt and take hold of him where he is most sensitive …. by losing his worldly goods and putting his supposedly good living standard into question, and only then will the soul have to prove itself by finding its way out of the physical hardship and doing everything on its part to live a pleasing life before the Lord and to strive for spiritual possessions. Money and possessions certainly signify power on earth but not in eternity …. Everything will be null and void there, the souls of those who regarded power and wealth as their God will exist in a very lowly state, while those who were disinclined to worldly goods and recognised their worthlessness will be placed into an elevated position ….

Amen

The need on earth is great, and standing in direct contact with the earth, the dangers for the soul are endless and manifold …. There are so few possibilities that ensure ascent without struggle. Only when love is exceptionally active in the human heart are such souls in a state of maturity in a short time. In general, however, people are not urged enough by love, and so the soul has an extremely difficult time until it has overcome all earthly dangers and is released from the heaviness of earth. But as soon as the endeavour to only act according to God’s will sets in, the dangers for the soul will also be less, for the conscious search for the deity is the first step towards the soul’s advancement. At present, however, there is great hardship on earth, for the inclination to live is predominantly …. and this inclination only ever extends to earthly life but not to life in the beyond, which should of necessity be lived in a correspondingly listless and God-pleasing manner for the beyond …. But people don’t think about that …. they only know life on earth …. but a continuation of life after death is completely unthinkable to them, and therefore they do not prepare their lives for such a life. And so the majority of humanity lives as if the hour of reckoning would never come for them, every day is devoted solely to earthly worries and plans …. They strive incessantly to increase their possessions, to bring themselves prestige and honour and to savour the joys and pleasures of the world, and hardly listen to their fellow human beings who, with a view to a higher being, would like to give them exhortations and lead them to faith in God. What they were taught as children has probably remained in their minds, but very few are convinced of the truth of what they were taught and are much more inclined to ridicule the teaching they were given or not give it any attention or importance. And thus a spiritual alienation will increasingly occur amongst humanity; there will only be a few who enter into contact with the eternal deity, but most will displace all christian teachings with purely worldly ones, and all faith will be destroyed if people themselves do not fight for it. People will instruct each other in everything necessary for earthly existence, yet what should be most important to them, to cultivate true profound faith as the foundation of knowledge, they will overlook as indifferent and thereby harm themselves the most, for the more they distance themselves from faith the more incapable they become of fathoming the truth. All earthly endeavours are then so unimportant because they do not improve the soul’s lot in the slightest but rather shroud it ever deeper in darkness …. Only faith is able to bring light to people on earth, and only the acceptance of faith fulfils the conditions for a God-pleasing life on earth. You are not yet aware of the latter as long as you turn away from faith, and you will realize for yourselves how empty and stale life as such is if you do not know the true reason for your earthly existence …. Only the knowledge of this is necessary in order to make you work hard in earthly life for life after death, for eternal life in the beyond …. then you will know your task, then you will also try to fulfil it completely. And even if life then offers you hardship, worry and suffering, you will gladly take it all upon yourselves in the belief that you will continue to exist and without complaining, for one day a life of joy in the beyond beckons to you if you have devotedly borne the suffering on earth in God’s will and have been purified by it from everything that would have prevented you from entering the heavenly paradise. In the same way, your bodily burden will also be taken from you, and your survival after death will make you forget all hardship if you are allowed to dwell in the neighbourhood of the lord. Therefore, pay attention to the coming time. The hardship on earth is great and anyone who recognizes it should make every effort to alleviate it and offer his fellow human beings spiritual and physical help if they are in need of it ….

Amen
