Choose a proclamation

Many are called …. power of prayer for receptivity ….

B.D. 0709 from December 12th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Behold, My child, the path to eternal life is still to be travelled under My guidance …. I have understanding for everything and endeavour in all love to dissuade you from the wrong path and to make you realize the futility of your worldly striving …. And I want to spare you all suffering on earth and in the beyond. If you now follow My word and draw all spiritual strength from it, if you allow the thoughts of eternity to enter you and serve each other with love, your path through life will not be difficult, yet without My word you will never find the right path, for you are already too estranged from the spiritual and your thinking has become materialistic …. I Myself am so distant from you because you have distanced yourselves from Me, and the more lonely you live your life the greater your distance from Me becomes, and I Myself cannot fetch you back because you have to be active of your own accord through free will, which is indispensable for gaining childship to God. And thus I see with sadness how little attention you pay to your soul’s salvation …. how you don’t give any thought to your wrong life. And again, it is only My great mercy and My infinite love for you that I inform you of My will …. And I call you all, you My children on earth …. You may all hear My word if only you desire it. But how do you want to receive if your will is not strong enough …. How shall I speak to you who do not come to meet Me in full faith and long for My presence …. How do you want to hear My voice in your heart if your heart is not inflamed with love for Me …. and yet I can only express Myself through love and in love. Many are indeed called, but only a few are chosen, and the latter must sacrifice their entire will to Me completely in order to then also endlessly receive more than they have given for Me. The power of prayer is underestimated by all of you …. it is so great that you will succeed in everything you ask for in prayer …. Thus you will also be honoured as a receptacle of My word of My wisdom if you strive for it sincerely and ask for the grace of such an honour from the father in heaven. All your spiritual endeavours will not be unsuccessful, for you will truly not make any wrong requests in this respect. I want to give this to the highest degree to the few people who love Me and desire My word, they shall draw all strength from it, lift themselves up in adversity and walk hopefully through earthly life towards a blissful life in the beyond. And every earthly difficulty will fall away from them if they are in possession of My word and endeavour to live according to this word. Therefore, whoever strives for it will also be honoured by Me with the word if only he pays attention to the inner voice …. For I dwell again among men on earth who are of good will and bring them refreshment and consolation, feasting and strengthening through My word, and if I send you this promise you need never fear the destruction of your body and soul …. Only the body can painlessly separate itself from the soul, but the latter can then enter the realms of bliss forever in the form of light ….

Amen

father's words of love …. employees ….

B.D. 0710 from December 13th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Know, little children, that I love you and that you should never despair or doubt My love for you …. The teachings which you receive daily bear witness to this, and if they awaken counter-love in you, the strength of My love will work in you. This love has no limits …. It will awaken in My true children a hunger and thirst for ever new proofs of love in the word …. There is nothing more blissful than to be able to satisfy this hunger and thirst with the gifts of My love and yet to remain constantly longing for the bread of heaven, to never be satiated and to always be able to enjoy the pleasures of fulfilment. And from this you recognize My love that I Myself constantly dwell amongst you, that I both awaken the desire in you as well as fulfil this desire and that I am always ready for you where you long for Me and let Me be found where you seek Me. The souls of My children seek the light and I kindle it in their hearts, I leave no stone unturned in order to also bring My kingdom to those who are completely ignorant and whose will so stubbornly rejects Me. For those children do not yet know My love, which would so much like to make them happy. They only ever walk blindly through life and also reject a guide who knows the way, but if they get completely lost and cannot find the way in the night of the spirit, then they will gratefully make use of the help I send them anew. For all these blind in spirit take Me …. they do not see the beauty around them and therefore do not recognize the creator of it either. And My love cannot warm them because they remove themselves from the sphere of the sun of grace and do nothing to test its radiance. And so I have countless tasks for you, My servants …. to mention My great love and mercy especially to such erring human children. You must diligently support Me by, as My co-workers, directing the thoughts of such people towards spiritual problems in the most natural way. The spiritually active person accepts such indications and does not let them pass by unnoticed. Although he will always say to himself that he cannot receive complete enlightenment on earth, he is now much easier to direct and also more accessible to such questions and considerations. But I have to send stronger evidence of My working to those who keep themselves completely aloof, yet often in a painful way. Anyone who does not want to recognize My love must feel My power, for he always has the opportunity to transform this tangible power into just such love if only he seriously wants to …. Anyone who grasps Me with his heart will constantly feel My presence …. I will be close to him like a brother and be his friend and counsellor in all his needs …. For I love My children and do not want to see any of them go astray …. And in My love I will bring together those who can help each other, and if they carry out My will and comply with the commandments placed in their hearts, the work for each other will also make itself felt in a beneficial way …. The resistance will become less and less, and the spark of love for Me will ignite and soon flare up into a bright flame …. And thus start working on all souls which are still distant from Me so that they will be guided upwards and recognize their creator, Who is love from eternity to eternity ….

Amen

Father's words …. dictation …. audible voice ….

B.D. 0711 from December 14th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

You must make use of every hour, My child, for the time on earth is short. An obedient and willing child is in My favour and will also be worthy of My word at all times, but it should be stingy with every hour that can give it the most precious thing an earthly child is given. Behold, you have a work to do which requires a lot of time, therefore not an hour should be missed because it can be used unspeakably beneficially. So today you shall be informed shortly that the most valuable gift is still offered to you in a continuation …. Some time will still pass, and during this time your thoughts will be very much occupied with Me, and when you have reached the degree of love which will let you hear My word in your heart, you will also be able to follow My dictation and directly reproduce everything you have heard. Yet anyone who is to serve Me in this way must completely subordinate himself to Me, his will must merge with Mine and his longing must be for Me alone. Seek to reach this state, My child, so that you can fulfil your task and merge into it yourself in order to be unspeakably happy already on earth. I form My servants on earth and want to possess their hearts completely, and the more intimately they love Me, the greater their longing for Me, the sooner they will be fulfilled and I will be so close to them that they will hear and feel Me. And every word shall resound in the heart, it shall proclaim My love for those who sacrifice their will to Me. When the hour has come which I have intended for you to receive the most beautiful and most precious, then only this task on earth lies ahead of you, to which all your fervour shall then be devoted, and humanity will be offered an indestructible work which shall make My love for humanity visible to it …. My suffering and death on the cross …. In order to become worthy of this task, persevere in prayer and keep your heart pure for Me …. So that you, sharing in the great grace, may serve humanity through your will ….

Amen

Warning against false judgement …. unkindness of the peoples ….

B.D. 0712 from December 15th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Behold, My children, in your weak spirit you do not yet have the appreciation for what is right and true and therefore only have to rely on My word alone, which will guide you correctly and protect you from all error if only you strive to fulfil My will. To be able to understand everything correctly requires far more, yet I will already show you the path which will lead you to the right realization. Yet if your inner voice warns you, follow it, the surest guarantee for truth is often hidden in your feelings, and if you only desire the truth you will not easily take the path of error. And thus you need not fear, for I will protect you so that you will not fall prey to lies and error. However, always pay attention to My word. Where you hear it you are on the right path …. yet do not fall into the error of wanting to extend your judgement to areas of knowledge which are distant to you and not yet explained. Everything will be offered to you at the right time and in such a form that you can absorb it and are convinced of its truth. However, try to avoid all criticism so that you do not reject something that could be of use to you one day. You must place unlimited trust in the lord of heaven and earth, only then will you also be worthy of receiving unlimitedly, and then the scales will fall from your eyes and you will learn to understand everything that previously seemed incomprehensible to you. But also keep your sense of justice …. that is suggested to you. By condemning, you can inflict great injustice on people, and a mild judgement will always be a blessing for you, whereas hatred and revenge will only result in evil. As the creator of heaven and earth, I can never agree with what is happening in the world …. I cannot approve when people are full of unkindness towards one another …. I cannot approve of the hatred and enmity of nations and even less can I give My approval if people’s behaviour has such an effect that hardship, misery and sorrow are the consequences …. and the sooner people come to realize their wrong actions the sooner they can expect My help …. But I will never give My support to wrongful, deterrent actions …. and the less love people have for each other, the less love they can expect from Me, I can only reveal Myself where I find loving hearts, but where feelings of hatred and revenge have the upper hand, I keep Myself at bay. People often prove themselves best when they are in misery together and yet try to alleviate this misery for each other. I take abode there, but where people endeavour to inflict wounds instead of healing them, I cannot dwell there but am far away from people who do not live in love. And so only ever adhere to what you receive as a principle from above: to cultivate love towards every person …. Every person should be equal to you; you should not treat anyone with contempt and do the same kindness to everyone, then your father in heaven will repay you in kind, and His love for you will never cease for eternity ….

Amen

Light and truth ….

B.D. 0713 from December 16th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Blessed are you who place yourselves at the lord’s disposal. For it is written that all the angels in heaven serve the lord and that the earth bows before Him …. and that light shines on those who recognize His majesty and are subject to Him in heaven and on earth. The world can certainly grant earthly goods, but it can never grant the light of truth to the children of the earth, for this is only possible for God, Who is truth Himself …. And the richest person on earth can be called poor if he does not harbour the truth, the knowledge of the creator and faith in His infinite love …. every earthly child, on the other hand, who possesses these goods, whose heart is full of love for the saviour and in whom there is a longing for ever deeper knowledge, is immeasurably rich. Everything earthly must appear worthless in the face of God’s supreme gift …. of truth from God …. And whoever helps and offers his hand, whoever makes the truth accessible to humanity through his will, is a true disciple of the lord, a servant on earth and a spreader of the teaching of God according to the will of the lord. The hour of redemption is near for him, all earthly heaviness will fall from him, and where he believes to serve, he will reign …. For the truth will make its way, it will be recognized and desired, it will touch the human being’s mind with unspeakable benevolence where truth is desired and striven for. Where a soul stands in the light of truth, it will abhor falsehood, it will rush through the whole world and always cling to the truth, for it will never let go of what it has taken possession of. If it seeks to take the truth from the soul once it has recognized it, it will give up the fight and fall into darkness. But to prevent this is the lord’s concern …. He does not abandon His children and lets the light shine brightly so that the truth breaks through and the soul is given help. And so the lord’s servants are busy at work. People do not yet grasp the miracle of divine love …. They still put up a quiet defence against it and yet are seized by the power of love …. Everything that is truth must again express itself in love …. what emanates from God, as love itself, must inevitably also lead to love again; it must develop into full activity what has its origin in love and therefore again entail love …. And thus the pure truth will also always be life-awakening and life-affirming, for he who has recognized correctly will only now see the true purpose in the right fulfilment of life and must therefore affirmatively attune himself to life. Which is to say that the human being with the realization …. with the right awareness of God, cannot look at life from the negative side, but surrenders joyfully and cheerfully to the divine power, always with the faithful trust that he will be guided wisely and rightly and thus also be equipped with divine power against all hostile activity. People are often unable to grasp how this power manifests itself, but faith in it allows them to receive it undiminished. For he who has love is in the truth …. and he who is in faith has the strength to recognize the truth and to live in love ….

Amen

Original power ….

B.D. 0714 from December 17th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

All currents emanate from the original power into the universe. Every radiation, no matter how small, has a vitalizing and awakening effect, and if the expression of power of all things and creations is the original state and therefore nothing can be imagined which was not produced by the original power, then every work of creation must also be God’s power in itself, and this to the extent that its nature in the overall creation expresses the omnipotence and wisdom of God …. The more appropriate the intended purpose of this work of creation, the more comprehensibly this power will become apparent to man, and so man, as the creature of God, to whom the noblest purpose is intended, must naturally also be inherent in divine power, for he is a bundle of rays awakened and animated by the elemental power, which divine will and love has created and sent out into the universe, which condensed itself into form and is always and eternally a particle of this elemental power. The diversity of the created beings will always allow the assumption that the abundance of strength is also distributed differently and is also expressed differently. And this assumption is correct, for every being is always able to let its strength work to the extent that it corresponds to the activity intended for the being. Every being is active in itself …. it is a completely isolated creature in the universe which has a certain task to fulfil, and it fulfils this task by means of the power working in it, which in turn is nothing other than the direct emanation of the divine elemental power. Anyone who takes a closer look at the miracles of creation will recognize the spirit of God, the eternally unchanging and eternally never-ending power everywhere. Everything that lives is permeated by this power, and everything that is dead lacks it, which is even more understandable that all life is power in itself and the lack of the same power means death for a thing. And as soon as this power becomes active, all life …. The power is divine and is therefore imperishable and eternally the same …. whether it also animates a being through millennia. It will always have its starting point in God, the eternal elemental power, and will also demand to return there, because the energy generator receives the radiations back into the universe undiminished and the cycle is always and eternally the same …. And so every created being is sent out into the universe with a well thought-out intention …. It should become aware of its power, which is from God and therefore lets the being be recognized as the same product …. as the same power in the tiniest part, as there is the divine power as the original power of all being ….

Amen

Care of the spiritual friends for the relatives on earth ….

B.D. 0715 from December 18th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

All resistance against the power of the lord is in vain; He places you into the sphere of activity which can provide you with the state of maturity, and all resistance against the will of the lord now also requires the intervention of divine power, for the lord does not leave man to his self-chosen fate as long as the will of man does not obviously oppose the will of the lord. In every adversity of life the lord knocks at the door of the heart and desires entry …. And so earthly hardship is very often the most salutary medicine against the rigid minds of earthly children. Therefore, confidently leave all worries to your divine saviour and patiently await the time of your loved ones’ spiritual maturity …. Your spiritual friends are now telling you how the first signs of your blessed work on earth are already making themselves felt. A whole circle of spiritual beings is already active to continue the work you have started on your fellow brothers and sisters, and there are many connections from the beyond to earth which are being utilized in the most diligent work in order to influence the thoughts of the earthly children to the best of their ability. All work in this regard is of such immense value, as it directs people’s thoughts upwards and progress is made in the spiritual realm. For without such indications on your part people enter the spiritual bridge to the beyond so little, and there are also still very few people for whom the scriptures as well as spiritual entertainment are real edification; the world still holds humanity too captive and the actual activity, the work on the soul, is a relative concept to them. Whether people’s thoughts turn to worldly interests or allow themselves to be captivated by spiritual questions is entirely up to their free will; and countless spiritual beings, who are entrusted with people’s care, endeavour to influence this will in the right way. A direct influence on the earth children is only rarely possible, therefore the co-operation of willing servants of the lord on earth is extremely joyfully welcomed. And in the same measure as the earth child helpfully supports the spiritual beings, so also the still erring relatives are cared for from the spiritual side; in all love the task is tried to be solved for them, and earth men are therefore never without protection. All help from earth is accepted and abundantly repaid to those close to the earthly child who are in need of spiritual care. And therefore no soul is helpless and abandoned to the darkness, but the spiritual friends wrest the erring and ignorant souls from the darkness to the best of their ability and bring them close to the light so that they also recognize their origin from God and their task in life caused by it. And the sun will rise where there is still night …. in the light of truth will stand all those who are in your care ….

Amen

Passing through each form is necessary …. (Microcosm?)

B.D. 0716 from December 19th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Your friends from the other side lovingly turn towards you to fulfil your desire, and thus receive:

The world as such has only one purpose, namely, to lead the many living beings, who are carriers of spiritual substances, towards higher development, which can only take place in an environment where all manner of conflicts occur, of which the world offers an adequate amount. Be it on earth or on the many other celestial bodies, living beings everywhere have to face unforeseeable difficulties and need all their strength to overcome them. However, such strength is present in every living being, since every living being receives strength to exist in the first place. Further development therefore always depends on how this strength within the living being is utilised. That means, the sooner any activity incumbent upon the living being is carried out, the faster the spiritual intelligence is released from its surrounding form and the next stage of development can begin.

Now it is possible to ask, which form guarantees the fastest development for living beings …. And the answer to this question can only be that it is vital to pass through every form …. and that a limit can only be set where the unification of innumerable small particles of soul result in one whole, when all substances of soul are present to give life to the final embodiment …. the form of the human being. The most subtle movement in the human being, the most gentle emotion is only due to the finely tuned soul, which in turn is composed of even more subtle particles of soul. These are a most important requirement in the construction of the whole as they, in turn, guarantee the completed soul the most delicate emotions and perceptions for the smallest miracles of creation by divine love. If these tiniest of components did not exist the human being would not understand current and future miracles of creation …. he simply would not be able to see something that is not already alive within himself …. he must have everything that exists in creation as the smallest components within himself …. that is, every substance must be a part of his soul, only then can he also observe what is outside of himself.

This instruction in turn raises the question as to what kind of components the small living beings consist of, and this is easy to explain: they all carry substances of yet smaller living beings within themselves but accordingly can only instinctively feel what has already progressed further in evolution, yet at the same time they control what already exists in these living beings as substance. Knowledge of this important information in the doctrine of creation is of greatest advantage for the human being because from this he will learn to understand the complex composition of human nature …. On the basis of this fact he can judge that the human being is indeed the crest of divine creation, so to speak …. that he, i.e. his soul, is so delicately constructed within himself, that it is impossible for such a work of art to have been produced by a wise Creator merely for the duration of earthly life, because everything he sees in nature, be it in the region of mineral, plant or animal life, exists in atoms within himself. The human being incorporates the whole work of creation in miniature within himself.

Therefore, he also has to overcome within himself the opposition that approaches him from outside …. from the world …. which means that countless external dangers motivate the human being into strongest resistance …. while likewise the spiritual atmosphere is stimulated by the continuous resistance and permanent struggle of the different substances of soul and only can become stronger and the soul open to higher truths of light in this way. Just as every living being, even the smallest, has to perform a specific task so has the human being, as the carrier of all these substances. And this task consists first and foremost of spiritualising all substances of soul that are still in harmful opposition to their real task, who would still prefer to perform the earthly task which is their nature due to their past earthly duty in an earlier form. For this reason the human being has to fight against many faults, mistakes and bad habits since the character of the substances bound in the soul repeatedly comes through and would like to seduce the flesh, the earthly cover, into compliance, which should be strongly resisted during earthly life. And only in this way can it be understood that the human being has an extraordinary responsibility during earthly life; that there must be a continuous struggle to triumph at the end of the day truly spiritualised as victor against all dangers and to have resisted all temptation. After all, how often indeed is the spirit willing but the flesh weak ….

Amen

Miracles of divine love …. father's words ….

B.D. 0717 from December 21st 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Behold, My child, the miracle of divine love is still incomprehensible to you and yet it will always be proof to you of My way of life among you who adhere to Me. See, where two love each other, they will give and do everything to each other, for love is only genuine when it gives in order to make the other happy. And in the same way I want to make My children happy whom I love dearly, and the whole nature of My love shall be revealed to them if their hearts are also turned towards Me. For love can only ever make people happy when both parts are united by the feeling of love. Therefore, love is the very substance which unbreakably connects the beings forever, and if I seize a child with My love it will remain eternally and indissolubly united with Me, and its share is eternal bliss through My blissful love. And I ask nothing of you, My children, but that you willingly give yourselves to Me …. that you allow yourselves to be seized by My love and offer Me all your childlike love. Secure in My love, an exceedingly blissful existence will blossom for you …. Every burden will seem bearable to you, every suffering will lose its bitterness, nothing can frighten you if you are aware of the heavenly father’s love …. Whatever events come upon you which cause you worry will pass you by like a breeze without having a depressing effect, for My love keeps everything away from you and is only ever concerned for your well-being. And even the suffering I cannot spare you is only love for you and necessary for your complete happiness in the future …. Therefore, do not be immediately despondent when life is hard on you, for I always stand behind you and hold My hands protectively over your soul, even though your body is exposed to bodily ills. Behold, My child, all gifts come from Me, suffering and joy, and love lets everything come over you, for as you come ever closer to Me through this, happiness will also become ever deeper and more inward, for in the final union with Me lies the highest happiness, which is not yet comprehensible to you. Anyone who wants to prove himself worthy of My gift must give his heart to Me completely and surrender himself to Me with complete trust and devotion so that I can work in his heart through My will, so that it will be a willing instrument in My hands and only ever listen to My word …. in order to one day find supreme fulfilment in My love and be unspeakably happy in eternity ….

Amen

Willingness to transcribe …. Receiving the living Word …. Authenticity ….

B.D. 0718 from December 22nd 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Infinite wisdoms are given by the Lord to those who are faithful to him. It often takes years before a child that is willing to transcribe offers its services to the Heavenly Father again and this also explains why such scripts remained incomplete for so long and that only the willing devotion of a new scribe made the imparting of new spiritual knowledge possible. The will was good, and thus ensued a work which was pleasing to the Lord, for it expresses His spirit and His love just as clearly, even though the wording has different characteristics. Anyone who understands the right meaning also recognises the Lord and attaches no importance to the style of writing as such, yet it is also advisable to exercise the same care in the assessment of spiritual issues …. It always has to be remembered that many a person indeed believes himself to be called and yet does not possess the necessary qualifications for such an important task …. to only devotedly and truthfully want to fulfil the Lord’s will. Anyone who makes every effort to strive only for that will also be welcomed by the Lord as a servant. Receiving the living Word is a responsibility in itself for the servant too. He must constantly check himself as to whether his will is totally subject to divine will …. he must accept the spiritual knowledge without resistance, make no personal judgment whatsoever while he is receiving it, and keep everything away from his heart which might weaken the spiritual power …. he must keep his heart pure and make himself worthy of a personal relationship with the Lord …. only then will he directly receive the Lord’s love in the form of His Word, and only then will he be able to be completely convinced of the truth of what he had received and transcribed.

The sentence structure of whatever the Lord gave to humanity was, at all times, so worded that it combined profound meaning with intelligibility …. so that everyone looking for truth and being lovingly active could recognise it …. Anyone who has different motives for wanting to investigate the authenticity of God’s Word and His revelations will hardly be able to find clarification as to what extent the scripts are of divine origin. For whoever endeavours to live in His spirit, whoever truly wants to be of service to Him and humanity will never again need to fear the spirit of lies, for his aim and striving solely applies to the Lord, and therefore the Lord will also protect their work and will not allow it to become detrimental to humankind. Hence, anyone who strives to remain subject to the Lord’s will has also the best guarantee of remaining in truth, and therefore only the spirit which rests within the Word will be crucial and not the wording by itself …. Anyone who therefore lives in love for the Lord will also recognise the Lord if He reveals Himself through a human mouth or in writing. Only ever pay attention to what your heart reveals to you …. whether the received Word kindles or enlivens your heart or whether it leaves you dull and indifferent and makes no impression on you. Your heart will always tell you what is lie and what is truth …. if you look for and desire truth. And don’t worry that the Father will let you fall prey to error, He is, after all, Truth Himself and always wants to give to people and therefore would not allow the God-loving earnest seeker to go astray ….

Amen

"The kingdom of heaven needs violence …."

B.D. 0719 from December 23rd 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Only he who uses force will enter the kingdom of heaven …. And so let it be said to you that two kinds of feelings are still fighting within you for supremacy; the desire for the world silences the inner voice at times, and you distance yourself from the lord through this desire. But on the other hand, your soul does not allow separation in the awareness of its belonging to God and soon seeks to lead you back again. If you then find it difficult to establish the connection with the divine saviour, this should always be a warning sign for you, for then you will have to use force in order to return to the spiritual sphere, whereas otherwise this is your soul’s actual abode. And thus the deviation onto the path of worldly pleasures is always a danger for the soul, which suffers unspeakably from the separation from the heavenly father and fears a flattening of your feelings. Therefore, people who cannot renounce the world and its pleasures can never stand in knowledge, for these will always destroy all incipient illumination and the light cannot flare up and spread a bright glow where the splendour of the world overrides this light of the soul …. Man cannot seriously concern himself with that which is the sole portion of the soul if his greater concern is for the well-being and enjoyment of the body. All worldly pleasures should only offer man the opportunity to test and strengthen his resistance, but if the body’s desire is given in, the earthly child must be offered an even greater test of resistance. Consider this very well when the world lures you and wants to make you incapable of your spiritual experience. Again and again such temptations must come to you so that you do not become careless and indifferent to the detriment of your soul. Every worldly joy, no matter how small, is a loss in the spiritual realm, for to the same extent as you pay homage to the former you fall under the spell of matter, which again blocks your path to the pure spiritual, for one cannot exist alongside the other, one is always achieved at the expense of the other, and therefore always choose the right …. choose the joys of the soul, the spiritual connection with the lord, and leave the stale earthly enjoyment, which cannot bring your soul the slightest advantage. For both the one and the other will become stronger in themselves through the fulfilment of desire …. He who strives for worldly pleasures will desire them to an ever greater extent, and he who strives spiritually will likewise have an ever greater desire for them through satiation. Therefore make no concessions, but fight against the desire in you, which can never be of use to you but can be extremely harmful to the soul. The joy of the soul is considerably greater than the joys of the world can ever be for man. And overcoming oneself results in the most beautiful success …. radiant light in which the soul bathes itself and which spreads a bright glow on the dark path of earthly life ….

Amen

Serious admonition …. (Discord and unkindness ….)

B.D. 0720 from December 24th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Where discord dwells inside a heart I Am unable to enter, for the master of the house is not prepared for My arrival. And thus I advise you to purify your heart first and banish all feelings of unkindness from it, for this contains the seed of evil. You must make a serious effort to comply with My admonitions if you want to be granted the grace to receive Me and My Word. You will receive so many countless hints which you should heed and live up to and your heart will ever more easily surmount that which, at the moment, still seems insurmountable to you. The feeling of longing for Me is always a sign of My loving activity in you …. If it is to be satisfied too then you must banish everything from your heart which has nothing to do with love …. You must only nourish the sacred and pure feeling of love within you and abhor every impure feeling, for it will merely increase your distance from Me ….

Everyone lives his own life and is absorbed in his own point of view, and thus everyone’s nature has to be considered and taken into account, consequently everyone has to endure his fellow man with tireless patience and try to adapt to his nature; and if he cannot succeed in doing so he must appeal to Me for My grace and help and he will receive the strength to rise above himself, he will emerge victoriously from all minor tribulations of life providing the love within him always keeps the upper hand. For I especially put you into this sphere of activity so that you would mature and control the weaknesses and faults residing in you. How much must you practice becoming patient if you want to become worthy of My patience …. And how much love you must give to your fellow men if you always want My love to be present with you …. And therefore you should always be lovingly united amongst yourselves, one should take loving care of the other, and don’t erect barriers between each other, for all these little temptations are merely the means to an end …. How can you become perfect if you don’t learn to overcome yourselves …. Remain in love if you want to remain in Me; know yourselves, then you will also know Me and make yourselves worthy of My blessing ….

Amen

Only love recognises the Deity …. Seekers of God ….

B.D. 0721 from December 25th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Only in love will you be able to recognise the Deity, and a tremendous urge for truth will arise in you if you are lovingly active. God will reveal Himself as Love Itself to people. Consequently, anyone who lives in the light of truth must be embraced by love and fit in with everything that is wanted by God’s love. Hence someone who fulfils the Lord’s will and strives for ever increasing perfection will, in a manner of speaking, base his every action on God’s love and thereby, having emerged from God, unite himself again with the elementary Power of everything in existence, with divine love …. All subsequent activity must therefore reinforce his inner strength of love. Henceforth the human being will inevitably draw all spiritual strength to himself which, in turn, will increase his will to love and stimulate him to put it into action. For all strength of heaven and earth originating from the love for God as the Love Itself will unite.

Therefore, all God-seeking beings on earth will first internalise themselves such that they, through their acceptance of God’s Word, which is the outpouring of divine love, become capable of knowing God. And from this realisation, love will emerge and continue to grow, and since God is Love Itself, the search of an earthly being will truly not remain unsuccessful, since the longing for God alone is already love, the human being is just not conscious of it, because the Lord in His love takes hold of every being looking for Him. If you want to understand this you should look around in nature where a perpetual coming into being testifies to the tireless creative will …. to God’s constantly vibrant activity of love …. Everything that comes into being shall live in order to reach God …. and even if its path is an infinitely long and arduous one, the being will nevertheless have the final opportunity of living in the flesh as a human being, and this shall result in his perfection providing his free will does not oppose divine will. Thus, God’s love will understandably take hold of the human being where just the slightest will to advance becomes apparent, and the yearning of anyone wishing to recognise God in his heart will truly not remain in vain. And all spiritual forces will come together in order to intensify the hitherto isolated strength through the influx of spiritual strength from the beyond, and thus a truly God-seeking person will never be prompted by the feeling of his own weakness to abandon his plan, but his obvious constantly renewed willpower will let him pursue the path of realisation and finally lead him to the goal ….

Amen

Grasping and discarding thoughts according to God's will …. Fear of death ….

B.D. 0722 from December 25th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

All thoughts flowing to you are grasped by your will. The true, God-devoted will always eliminates that which is not intended to be written down. Therefore, you will only receive such proclamations which utterly comply with God’s will, yet partly only intended for you and partly given as a pure doctrine to humanity. The more diligently and devotedly you carry out your work, which is intended to be a blessing for the human race, the more worthy will you become of the grace to receive God’s Word. For every happening has a wise meaning with God …. He is incessantly at work to open those earthly children’s eyes who are still blind, for the Lord’s love for His living creations is infinite. Anyone who entrusts himself to this love is constantly protected by Him and carefully looked after. Life offers the earthly children most diverse changes, but they only contribute towards not forgetting their Creator. They would like to spend their days on earth without worry and not needing to fear an end for their body …. And thus they only ever strive for material goods and gladly push any thoughts of death far into the background. Even so, the former is detrimental for the soul; death, however, becomes a thought of fear or unease as they grow older ….

And this is not in line with divine order. Anyone who bears his soul in mind on earth will not be frightened by death, for he will only look at it as a liberation of his soul and an entry into everlasting peace. The Creator is simply and solely concerned with making the earthly child understand that the earthly activity is only the smallest part of preserving the divine creation and that the work of improving the soul is a person’s most important task on earth. Everything which helps to maintain the body and a good living standard will sooner or later fall prey to transience, yet what a person does for the salvation of his soul is everlasting, just as the soul itself is everlasting. The soul can never cease to exist; however, it is of paramount significance in which condition, that is, in which state of light, it will enter the beyond, because the respective state of light is the decisive factor as to whether the soul will suffer or enjoy heavenly bliss. It is incredibly painful for the soul to desire the light and having to do without it due to its own fault. And then again, it will make the soul extremely happy if it is allowed to enter the regions of light and thereby take part in the heavenly Father’s nearness ….

Loving Fatherly Words ….

B.D. 0723 from December 26th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

The fullness of My grace will be granted to you so that you can fulfil your task on earth, providing you are fully committed to coming close to Me and to keeping My commandments. You do not realise that I only await your return into the Father’s house in order to accept you with much love and that I want to help you where your strength is failing …. You have in Me the most faithful friend, the most loving Father and most watchful Protector for your life on earth. And you can hand yourselves over to My protection without qualms if only you feel that you are your Father’s children and grant Me your heart for time and eternity. During the time of My return to earth you will all receive an abundance of blessings, for I Am so close to all those who desire Me, that they feel My presence …. Oh, you should all make yourselves worthy of My presence …. do not let Me court your heart and love in vain, but open your hearts instead in order to receive Me …. Allow Me to enter when I want to take abode in your hearts. And from that moment on your way of life will be blessed, for where I dwell grief and worries are banished, because I protect My Own who have recognised Me. Every right thought, every will inclined towards Me results in an abundance of My grace. I want to strengthen your faith and increase your willingness to love and open your spiritual senses for everything that comes from above …. Because I love you, My children, I want to save your soul for eternity …. One day I would like to make all beatitudes accessible to you and therefore want to guide you into true realisation.

Amen

Spiritual error …. guiding into the truth …. rotten fence …. living lessons ….

B.D. 0724 from December 26th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Search your hearts and ask yourselves who is likely to bring you salvation from spiritual adversity if the lord Himself takes pity on you and you reject His love. Then consider that every error in a spiritual respect should find clarification …. consider that precisely this error keeps the human being in spiritual night, but that you can never be guided into truth if your will does not strive for it. Consciously shying away from the light must inevitably be an obstacle in order to reach the brightness of the spirit. This will have the effect that the majority of people will never be able to penetrate the depth of divine truths as long as they dwell on earth and do not seriously desire the truth. Yet God’s love will reveal itself to a small part of humanity, and these are to be called unspeakably happy, for they are in closest contact with the lord and creator of heaven and earth. They recognize their mission on earth, seek to do justice to it and act in the will of the lord. Thus they are immeasurably rich in spiritual knowledge and find complete happiness in solving the task the lord has set them for earthly life. Now, however, the divine creator will have to make Himself known in other ways in order to intervene where all faith in an obvious manifestation of powers in the beyond is lacking. The lord’s ways are often marvellous and finally lead to the goal. But if the lord now brings His admonitions to your ears again, then this will often happen in a painful way, for you have rejected the path of love and gentleness and have always clung to a rotten fence which sooner or later has to collapse because it simply can no longer offer any support since it is unsuitable in itself and its existence has to be brought to an end. The living teaching that is given to people on earth also guarantees the recipient an extraordinary point of support and therefore corresponding resistance against hostility of all kinds. Whatever resists it will eventually be seized and help to strengthen the bulwark around the pure teaching of Christ, for the lord knows all those who believe to be strictly attached to His word and yet only know this word superficially and still prefer to reject the pure truth rather than admit to themselves that no earthly intelligence can accomplish something which only wants to help the spiritual to unfold …. And anyone who first lets earthly concerns prevail and does not wholeheartedly desire and strive for the truth will not come into question as an authoritative and sincere examiner of such a revelation …. He will not be able to detach himself from earth, and in order to penetrate spiritual spheres absolute truth and absolute will to reach God is the first necessity ….

Amen

Permission from above to increase the will to resist ….

B.D. 0725 from December 27th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

The events of daily life change with the lord’s full approval, and all events are, as it were, an authorization from above, as they always have only one purpose: to strengthen the will to resist and to make the state of the soul ever brighter and clearer. Where man often wants to become timid, he applies greater energy because he does not like his own state of weakness and wants to remedy it as quickly as possible. This increased generation of willpower to overcome such resistance allows the soul to become increasingly more mature, for all struggle which is directed towards spiritual resistance is in accordance with the creator’s will and must therefore also lead to perfection. And thus every event which gives rise to lively spiritual activity is also permitted by God, since it is necessary for the human being’s education and thus can only have a beneficial effect or also bring the human being a serious relapse, but only if the earthly child’s will to live in divine order diminishes …. i.e. if all striving upwards is suddenly perceived as unprofitable and therefore abandoned. However, this is only to be feared in the case of people who have never been serious about recognizing eternal truth or who cannot completely separate themselves from the earthly …. who are quick to strive for one thing and then another and do not gain the strength to persevere through prayer …. They will also always lack the strength to keep God’s commandments. It is precisely what they lack, be it willpower, knowledge or love, that they should seek to increase through fervent prayer …. they should not carelessly let the lord’s gifts of grace pass them by …. they should seek to make themselves worthy of these graces and, as long as they do so, wrestle in fervent prayer to God for union with Him, Who will then make the earthly child’s path through life easily passable; for the lord grants everything to a child who asks for his soul’s salvation. Again and again it must be pointed out how valuable it is when the human being no longer begins anything without having sought union with the heavenly father …. for then the father, as it were, walks with His child …. And where apparent resistance worries the child, there only new paths are levelled, not yet quite comprehensible and clear to the human being, but planfully inserted by the wise creator in such a way that a striving human being can always derive spiritual benefit from it, for in the everyday smooth running of earthly life a fighter can hardly develop who can one day stand up for the name of God with full conviction. Everything that a person is to represent before his fellow world, he must first have felt in himself …. he must have spiritually penetrated every problem before he is able to solve it for others. And if the lord wants to let a fighting army emerge from you, He also has to train you to fight for the truth, and this can only happen by practicing to fight for the name of the lord against all hostility from the earthly side …. who are misguided because they do not understand the great, infinite love of God and therefore look at everything with the eyes of the world, selfishly and lovelessly pursue earthly interests and thereby forget the most important thing, that a fervent struggle for the soul should begin during the time of earthly life. And to only work for God and the truth with true zeal will also always liberate the human being from oppressive, seemingly insurmountable situations in life and always give him new strength to pursue the path which must inevitably lead to the goal ….

Amen

Fate not an obstacle to cognition …. free will ….

B.D. 0726 from December 29th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

Behold, My child, the innumerable, widely ramified and yet always interlocking events, which you call coincidences, are most closely connected with My creation. Only a controller of all things and all events can ensure that creation and all activity in the universe takes its orderly course, and in this context you will realize that you cannot escape your destiny determined by Me for this life, and that is what makes you believe that you only ever have to carry out what has been destined for you since eternity. On the one hand you certainly have to do so, yet you are never forced to adopt a certain faith …. or a certain spiritual attitude through worldly events. This will be entirely up to you, and every worldly event, whether you find it pleasant or unpleasant, will truly give you more than enough opportunities to attain the right realization. Not one of the earthly children will be able to say that the life imposed on him has prevented him from true realization, for I always arrange all worldly events, even though people make them themselves through their will, in such a way that they give the earthly child the greatest possible opportunity to further his inner life. Thus it can happen that in the midst of the greatest and most painful events the earthly child’s true relationship with the father is established far sooner than in a carefree existence …. but even in this a child can find the father if the events of the environment are respected and the heart is not hardened and its ego is placed too far in the foreground. I truly give all My living creations what is best for them, for My constant concern is only for the final return of My living creations, and therefore My love and wisdom is also intent on allowing the human being to take the path which offers him the greatest opportunity to come close to Me. And therefore people experience this My care daily and hourly with every step they take on the earthly path marked out by Me. How they utilize the opportunities is completely up to them. Free will is then active there. If I were to deprive people of their purely earthly free will, they would deprive themselves of every possibility of maturing their soul, for they could then organize their life on earth as it suits everyone, unhindered by higher power …. Their endeavours would increasingly only apply to the world, matter would be increased and everything spiritual diminished. And in the end My work of creation would be completely destroyed where My wisdom is eliminated and instead the free will of the human being, whose wisdom is inadequate, wants to dominate the whole. And thus you only have to recognize My love for you humans again, that I only direct your earthly life according to My will in order to be able to give you the highest one day …. that you, however, are allowed to make unlimited use of your spiritual freedom of will, both upwards as well as downwards. Occasionally you also have your earthly fate in your own hands and can shape it as you like, yet even then the circumstances and events will always approach you such that you have the same opportunity to shape your inner destiny …. whether you have chosen it yourselves this way or that …. that you can therefore seemingly create different living conditions through your own will but nevertheless have to take the same path through suffering and worry if it is intended by Me for the purpose of spiritual progress. If you always base everything that approaches you on this realization then you will soon abandon yourselves to Me in complete trust and establish the right relationship of the child to the father, which is the first condition in order to fulfil the earthly task correctly in a spiritual sense. And therefore all spiritual experience will never be dependent on the earthly situation in life but each one will offer sufficient opportunity for the earthly child to submit itself to My will and thus derive the greatest benefit for its soul. And thus the objection that the earthly activity or task does not allow for an immersion into spiritual knowledge is invalid, for I guarantee the former to everyone but the latter is solely left to the human being’s free will ….

Faith and trust in God necessary for resistance …. storm ….

B.D. 0727 from December 30th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

All the world will be informed of how powerful the lord’s will is, and more and more evidence of His working among humanity will arise and bear witness to God’s eternally invincible love. The more obvious signs the lord gives to people, the greater opposition they will provoke, for humanity’s mind is completely removed from spiritual experience. There are only a few who stand in the light and these few will have a difficult time against the majority of unbelievers. And only the strongest faith and deepest trust in God will give them the strength to resist. Yet God’s help is not far away in adversity and you are only outwardly alone, yet your soul is not alone and thus you are not defencelessly exposed to the efforts and hostilities of your unbelieving fellow human beings. Everything that seems unsettling to you, that is, so to speak, directed against you, is like a storm that may blow around you but cannot overthrow you if you offer resistance yourselves. And the lord will never allow the force of the storm to be greater than your resistance if only you remain faithful to Him and recognize God’s omnipotence in everything that surrounds you and therefore trust Him with complete faith. The danger for you only lies in the fact that you forsake the lord for the sake of external advantage …. But whoever does not desire such things, the power of God remains in him and makes him strong against everything that is hostile to God. And new messengers will always arise for the glory of God …. A miracle of divine love fades visibly where the inclination towards the world is so unmistakable, and only he who turns his back on the world will recognize this miracle, and it will make him unspeakably happy ….

Amen

Love the antithesis of evil power …. partition …. word of God is life ….

B.D. 0728 from December 30th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

As the number of those to whom my word is accessible increases, the adversary loses power, because everything that lives in my word also stands in love …. And love is the antithesis of the activity of darkness. Anyone who therefore lives in love is inaccessible to the evil forces …. He erects an insurmountable partition between himself and the evil power and is protected against all attacks from this side, because the power of love is considerably stronger and cannot be overcome by the power of hatred. The stronger the will to love is, the more alive faith will be, and in the acceptance of God’s word every deed is blessed, for only the energetic adherence to My teaching is the surest weapon against everything that comes from below. My word is and has been from eternity …. To stand in My word is to live …. but the power of evil is ruin and death. Therefore, whoever hears My word and acts accordingly must live for eternity. And anyone who seeks the same power in works of neighbourly love will likewise recognize God, for he is already absorbed in Me through deeds of love. He fulfils the conditions of life who makes love his first principle …. For he has truly chosen the best part, that he stands in the power of divine love and at the same time is immune to the all-destructive opposing power. Man loses all fear of death when love is active in him, for his spirit awakens to life and he has found the bridge to the beyond. How should death still be able to frighten him then, since he already dwells in the spheres of light before …. how should he fear death, since he has eternal life within himself …. since he escaped the power which wanted his destruction and was thus given back to life. Everything that is love is eternal …. but that which does not bear divine love within itself is perishable ….

New year's eve …. anaesthetics ….

B.D. 0729 from December 31th 1938, taken from Book No. 15

You must accept every trial and show yourself equal to it. And when the lord admonishes you to be patient, humbly surrender to His will, for He alone knows what is right for you. At this time, everything on earth is endeavouring to numb itself. Only very few are quietly contemplating themselves and remembering their creator. And the lord sees with infinite melancholy the goings-on of His creatures who do not want to miss anything on earth that gives them pleasure and who give away without hesitation the benefits that only benefit the soul. They do not consider that they can stand at the turning point of life …. that they can still be in the midst of earthly life today and already stand at the gate to eternity tomorrow and that they will then leave earthly life barely prepared for eternity. All enjoyment of life must have an unfavourable effect on the soul, and damage is done to the soul to the same extent where the body indulges in the pleasures of life. In a time of uninhibited enjoyment of life the adversary is granted every power, he can take possession of people’s senses and thus have a destructive effect on the soul, and all demons gain influence over it, for the human being is far more inclined to enjoy earthly life to the full than to occupy himself with spiritual things, and the army of spiritual beings in the beyond truly has no easy task if it also wants to exert its influence on the children of earth. True realization holds man back from such unworthy activity, but to find or keep the union with the spiritual world is unspeakably difficult for earthly man. Therefore both, the good as well as the bad spiritual beings, develop an indescribable activity in order to draw people into their spell, for the evil power certainly has considerable advantage …. it retains the upper hand because man’s will is too much concerned with matter and only sees his happiness in intoxication and the fulfilment of his desires. All the splendour of the world prevents the inner vivid contemplation of the eternal deity; man is so far removed from all that is purely spiritual …. he stands in darkness, for earthly splendour gives the soul no light …. it hungers and starves, even though the body revels in abundance, and there is little chance that in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the world the earthly child will let its thoughts wander upwards and willingly separate itself from the earthly splendour, which is after all only appearance and can offer no advantage to the soul. Who can resist such temptations in time, who pays attention to bring the light of the soul and willingly lets the body do without, will visibly stand in blessing, because the spiritual beings are extremely willing to serve such endeavourers, they strengthen every still weak power, help the struggling soul, and from seemingly uselessly spent hours such great advantages arise for the soul that man only wins where the body denies itself joy and pleasure in worldly relationship. For the happiness of the soul stands above all earthly joy of the body …. But this is incomparably more valuable than the hours of unclouded enjoyment of life, for the latter is transient, but the former endures for all eternity ….

Divine laws …. sin ….

B.D. 0730 from January 1st 1939, taken from Book No. 15

An eternal law determines the guidelines for all thought and action, namely the use of all strength is required for the strictest observance of the divine commandments, which in turn are only the clear requirements that correspond to the divine order and therefore always adapt to the natural laws given by God. A law issued, so to speak, by the highest lawgiver is therefore also the guideline for all thought and action, which …. must conform to the divine requirements if it is to correspond to God’s will. Every deviation or contravention must therefore be recognized and perceived as injustice or sin; likewise, fitting in with the divine order must have such an effect that inner contentment and unmistakable spiritual progress are the result of a walk on earth that is pleasing to God and observes His laws. Where no attention is paid to the laws given by God, an unstable state very soon results, which understandably expresses itself in the opposite way …. in spiritual blindness, an undeveloped inner life and a serious lack of hope with regard to a blissful life in the beyond following life on earth. However, if the earthly child is always mindful to always carry out its thoughts and actions in accordance with God’s intended order, its spiritual state will become increasingly lighter and clearer and it will now also be able to distinguish the extent to which all creation is subject to divine laws …. i.e. which task is intended for each work of creation and why acting contrary to God’s commandments has such serious consequences. For it must soon realize that no being can violate God’s orders without suffering serious spiritual harm. The human being certainly has the freedom of will to oppose these instructions but then at his own responsibility and risk, and in the foreseeable future no being will be able to disregard the laws without harming its soul, for in the short time on earth it only ever has to endeavour to comply with all requirements of the eternal deity if the soul is to be able to register a notable advantage for itself. Only a complete acknowledgement of the divine laws and a consciously joyful observance of God’s commandments can bring about the soul’s maturity, as it is willed by God Himself …. that the earthly child comes close to Him and becomes worthy of His love and grace ….

Soul after death ….

B.D. 0731 from January 2nd 1939, taken from Book No. 15

The soul, relieved of all hardship, seeks the path to the light, and it is helped by the spiritual beings who endeavour with all love to show it the way. And thus the soul recognizes its state in all clarity and is able to detach itself from matter if only it feels within itself the desire for eternal liberation from its fetters, which have been its fate since time immemorial. Once the spirit of God in the human being has united with the eternal spirit of love, the soul’s freedom is achieved …. It finds deepest peace and deepest happiness, for its longing during its earthly days was the union with Christ, and it will now be fulfilled. And so abandon all grief while you are still on earth, for your body is still a burden to you, your soul is still imprisoned in its shell …. Throw off what still hinders you …. also try to awaken in yourselves the longing for liberation …. live in view of the fact that one day you, too, will have to stand before the gate to eternity and appreciate the soul’s spiritual freedom …. be without fear when your end draws near, and the spirit within you will guide you so that you will look forward to that hour with joy, for then you will stand at the entrance to eternal life and the heavenly father will come to meet you with open arms if you have already found Him on earth in remembrance of His love. And then you will desire death yourselves, for its sting will not hurt you …. You have overcome, you have found your way through the night to the eternal light, you have renounced the world and turned your gaze only heavenwards. And those who love you will gather together and take you home to the father’s house. And those who die in Christ will be blessed and sing praises and thanks to the creator for all eternity ….

Amen

Trust in God …. earthly worries …. "Lord, Thy will be done …."

B.D. 0732 from January 2nd 1939, taken from Book No. 15

And if you are conscious of the fact that the father protects you, you will be free from all earthly heaviness, the desire for spiritual food will increase in you and the resistance from outside will decrease. And so all men should be anxious to put their earthly worries into the background, and consciously abandon themselves to the lord, who arranges every event according to His will and in divine wisdom, and you therefore only demand spiritual protection, but the bodily protection is likewise granted to you, if only you trust. For only now do you recognize the guidance from above …. You can cope with everything if you willingly hand yourselves over to the lord …. He who sends you everything can take it away from you in the same way, be it suffering or joy, illness and worry or happiness. As you receive it, so it will be of use to you …. if you are devoted, you are also certain of blessing, but unwillingness or rebellion cannot bring about the result that is necessary for you and your salvation, and you must now endure all the more until you have recognized the meaning of the mission from above and willingly submit to it. Therefore, bear in mind in all suffering that you still have to endure such things for your own sake as long as you have not yet reached a state of maturity. Every admonition of this kind is based on a necessity which you probably do not want to recognize but which forces the heavenly father to intervene because it is for your own good. And the more patiently and devotedly you submit yourselves to the lord’s will, the sooner all harm will be taken away from you, for the One Who sends you such things will take them away from you again when the time has come. The living part is the love of the lord, but he who is dead in spirit does not recognize the love of God …. but the love of God always expresses itself where life is in danger …. He who wants to live shall not perish, and he who is in danger of giving himself over to sleep must be prevented …. And every spirit will live who always recognizes God’s guidance in every situation, in the adversities and annoyances of daily life …. who only ever prays: “Lord, your will be done in heaven and on earth!”

Amen

The word of God …. love …. truth …. wisdom ….

B.D. 0733 from January 3rd 1939, taken from Book No. 15

And those who refuse to accept the word of God will be foolish …. they will have no comfort in adversity and suffering and will also have to do without all support in difficult times, for if the lord Himself is prepared to give you everything with His word and you do not respect His gift, you will have to live in want and will be lonely and abandoned in life. The pure word of God is the creator’s gift from the beginning …. it came to people from above at all times …. it was the connection from the eternal deity to the beings on earth. This word was heard by whoever wanted to hear it and was in love with God …. For it happens what man wants …. The father makes Himself known through His word to the one who longs for God. The word is the bearer of divine love and divine power, and this word is heard by anyone who makes himself worthy of God’s love and power …. The love of God reveals itself to the earthly child through the word, and until the end of the world God will reveal Himself in the word to those who are His children. Whoever has this word is already blessed on earth, and whoever lives according to the word of God has the kingdom of heaven …. eternal bliss. But woe to those who oppose the word of God, they not only lack everything that is necessary for salvation, but will also fall victim to judgement if they do not recognize their wrongdoing at the right time. What the lord gives to His own should make their earthly path easier and show them ways and means to find their way back to the heavenly father. But how can such help be offered to you who reject the word of God and His grace visibly shown to you? The father’s love repeatedly endeavours to inform the earthly child of its earthly task, of the child’s right relationship with the father and of all means of grace, the application of which will lead to the goal in a short time, and time and again the father imparts the word to His children so that they should not be abandoned and go through life without any help. And thus everyone will be blessed by God’s word who does not close his ear to the gift that comes from above but, hungering and thirsting, receives the refreshment that the lord has blessed with His strength. How empty is the life of a person who does not draw everything from the word of God …. knowledge, faith and from this love of God and neighbour. When the lord God makes a visible appearance, when He imparts His word to humanity and preaches His love to people of good will, then he who takes His word to heart and is permeated by the spirit of love that speaks from the word of God will also stand in the love and grace of God. The lord gave the same …. the truth …. at all times, to all generations and to everyone always and forever. For the word of God can only be pure truth because it emanates from God, as the truth Himself. The word of God must also be pure love, where the starting point of the word is likewise love itself …. And all wisdom must be made accessible to the earthly child through it, since the eternal wisdom Itself teaches the earthly child. And so whoever accepts the word of God will stand in truth, love and wisdom …. And it will endure for all eternity because the love, truth and wisdom of God cannot pass away …. But whoever rejects the word of God, all truth, love and wisdom is also closed to him indefinitely ….

Amen

Participation of otherworldly beings in lectures ….

B.D. 0734 from January 4th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

The friends on the other side tell you about the extremely blessed and God-ordained gathering of today. There were so many friends gathered around you who are united with you in love. Every word echoed in the circle of friends on the other side, and a bright circle of light surrounded all those who were close to you. The words of the lord were received by them with equal fervour, and they will be passed on in love and imparted to those in need of instruction. The lord’s love is unlimited, it always brings new souls to you, and your work on earth is far more extensive for the beyond than you realize. Anyone who was united with you in love on earth receives the invitation through your remembrance to participate in your spiritual work, and thus you are constantly surrounded by searching, partly knowing, partly completely ignorant beings who accompany you at every turn in order to be able to receive spiritual truths from the same source, for their desire for them is unspeakable. If you now live in a close circle and devote yourselves to spiritual work, their joy is indescribable, as every spiritual conversation is a source for them from which they can also draw and satisfy their hunger and thirst. A circle was gathered around you which needs no further explanation than that everyone is close to you in love. Whom you wished to have around you in your thoughts, these thoughts also summoned, but countless others surrounded you besides these, for where God-seeking and God-loving earth children come together and raise their souls into spiritual regions, there will also always be an army of beings from the beyond who would also like to serve the divine lord and saviour by teaching or being taught. A perpetual change has taken place, your friends also wanted to express themselves audibly to you, but you were surrounded by a protective wall of light figures, which did not allow an announcement of still unfinished spiritual beings, because such is not of great advantage for the still struggling souls. People on earth certainly desire communications from loved ones close to them, yet these cannot instruct you so thoroughly since they are not yet fully enlightened themselves, and thus they are only rarely granted permission to make themselves known in order not to divert their endeavours from the pure spiritual, which would certainly be very easily possible if high spiritual maturity is not a prerequisite for the proclamations. The lord directs all your steps for the purpose of further perfection, He also gives those souls in the beyond the opportunity to develop higher again, and thus He will give or deny …. according to necessity, but always for the benefit of the souls on earth and in the beyond, to whom His equal love and care applies. The souls now live in constant expectation of such lessons, which bring them spiritual liberation, and therefore all friends in the beyond want to ensure, if possible, that the lessons are repeated and that the spiritual work progresses well, for such opportunities are also of great benefit to the souls in the beyond if people’s love for each other is the driving force and all their endeavours are only for the advancement of their and their fellow human beings’ souls ….

Amen

Value of the work of redemption …. the suffering of Jesus earthly ….

B.D. 0735 from January 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Realize how helplessly an earthly child would be exposed to the power of evil if the divine saviour had not broken the power of death in His love …. And how hopeless all endeavour on earth would be without the lord’s work of redemption. Out of the night of darkness the soul finds the light in faith in the divine saviour; it chooses of its own accord the path that leads to the bright shaping of its being …. And divine love must inevitably permeate the soul when it remembers the saviour and all the suffering and pain through which the saviour passed for sinful humanity. God’s love is infinite, and in the realization of this love alone is the sacrifice understandable that the lord made for people on earth and all beings in the universe …. What the lord has done for mankind has become a blessing for each individual, and the whole universe stands in the light of truth through the work of God’s love for mankind. The earth was destined to be the bearer of the eternal deity in earthly embodiment. And therefore an earthly child, who is in full faith, can redeem itself as long as it still dwells on earth, if only it is able to love the divine saviour with all sincerity of heart …. for love alone overcomes death …. Love alone liberates the soul from the shackles of matter, and in love for the divine saviour the earthly child willingly submits to the heavenly father and gratefully accepts the graces of the work of redemption from His hand. However, as a person still living on earth, he is not able to recognize the full depth and significance of the greatest act of grace since the beginning of the world …. He certainly knows that the father’s love for His children has sacrificed Himself for them, and he therefore also knows that without the divine work of redemption the human being would have been irredeemably doomed to eternal death, and yet this knowledge cannot even begin to shed light on the significance of Christ’s incarnation for the whole of God’s work of creation, and it is even more difficult to penetrate Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross without this knowledge of God’s immense love. Therefore, even he will not be able to fathom what a sense of sacrifice had to come alive in a human being and how unspeakably the saviour suffered as a result, since His body was also human like all earthly beings for whom the divine saviour took upon Himself the greatest sacrifice. He was in unspeakable emotional distress, and only the deepest love for humanity gave Him the strength to allow the earthly body to taste all torments and sufferings, and thus the work of redemption was an overcoming of death and its power insofar as the deity did not allow Jesus to suffer above ground, but the earthly man, Who certainly harboured the eternal deity in Himself but, feeling completely earthly, took upon Himself the unspeakable suffering of the death on the cross and thus truly overcame death, so that the horror of death was taken away from all those who believe in the redeemer, love Him with all their heart and ask for forgiveness of their sins ….

Amen

Term "grace" ….

B.D. 0736 from January 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Worlds will pass away and the suns will lose their light, but God’s grace will descend upon His creatures eternally and unchangeably. For what has emerged from Him also takes the course of perfection, and without divine grace the path can never be travelled. Therefore, everything is arranged so infinitely wisely that the being is seized by the flow of divine grace, if only the being itself does not rebelliously distance itself from the flow of grace …. He who lives in grace will be able to cover the path of perfection without effort, but he who rejects it will have to overcome obstacles upon obstacles …. his soul will not find the strength to liberate itself and the spirit will slumber powerlessly within it, unawakened for self-development, because without divine grace the work of liberation is too difficult for the beings. If, therefore, God’s grace is the basic condition for redemption, i.e. it is indispensably necessary, then it is also understandable how much the deity’s activity aims to explain the concept of grace to the beings in detail, for the beings striving for perfection are to a certain extent offered unlimited possibilities in order to reach their goal. The eternal deity, in Its infinite love and wisdom, has very well considered the extremely difficult struggle it has to endure, yet this struggle cannot be avoided if a development towards a God-like being is to take place, which is to be as perfect in everything as the father in heaven Himself is perfect …. A struggle of one’s own strength to reach this state of perfection would not be very successful given the counter-influence of the evil power, for the latter is stronger and the being would not be able to offer sufficient resistance. And thus God stands by those who profess Him, who consciously or unconsciously harbour the desire for union with God in every way. The help to ascend to God …. this is what everything that is made accessible to people under the term “grace” should be called …. Man does not grasp the meaning of the word in its full depth …. Everywhere and at all times God’s help comes to meet the being and only wants to be grasped. A heartfelt prayer for God’s help allows it to be granted to him in all fullness, and therefore the human being can devote himself to his soul’s work with complete confidence, for if he is faithful and turns to the father in heaven for help he will be so full of grace that supreme success is assured to him. Standing in the divine sun of grace, he will easily circumnavigate the most dangerous cliffs and effortlessly cover the most arduous paths …. his soul will feel the loosening of the shackles, the spirit will become lively and break through the shell and finally unite with the spirit of love from God …. and all this only through the divine grace which every being can ask for …. which can never be distributed by God in a limited way but can be received unmeasured by anyone who only desires it. The divine creator demands a great deal of higher development from His creatures, but at the same time He gives them the instructions and means to fulfil the creator’s wish. Thus, again, the work itself is not difficult if only the will strives for the same, for the lord does not command the will of the being …. it is entirely up to the being itself to shape it, yet even then prayer for God’s grace can grant powerful help, for God’s love is active wherever a being turns to Him and distributes unlimited blessings so that the imperfect being will always and forever know of a lifeline which it can seize in adversity and danger, and a requesting being longing for divine grace will never be left without help ….

(8.1.1939) And countless beings will feel God’s grace in themselves as long as they are willing to receive it. Living faith and active love let rivers of God’s favour flow to them …. God will always helpfully approach the being in order to facilitate its path upwards, to protect it from the power of evil and to ensure its union with the eternal spirit of love, for “truly I say to you”, says the lord, “your suffering on earth will be little if only you make use of My grace …. you will be able to reach the highest height and enter into direct contact with Me, and your soul will float in the light ….”

Amen

Laws of nature …. reshaping and overexploitation of the earth ….

B.D. 0737 from January 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

In the visible world all laws in nature are given by the creator in such a way that the slightest contravention causes an equally visible destruction of what has been created, and thus the divine will and His omnipotence must remain active in order to preserve what exists. Thus no being, whether from the spiritual or earthly world, can arbitrarily bring about a change in natural events which would not be in accordance with the creator’s will. Thus, man will never be able to influence the laws of nature in any way and his endeavour to overturn them on his own would be in vain. However, man is entitled to many possibilities to co-operate in God’s will and thus to participate in the shaping or reshaping of the earth’s surface, thus in a certain sense also to be creative already on earth. But then the will of man must always submit to the divine will if the created works are to endure. All human actions must conform to the laws of nature, as disregarding these can result in immediate destruction or even a slow decay of the whole. Where the forces of nature, which correspond to God’s will, prove to be conducive to earthly activity, all human activity will also be favoured, i.e. man will then only carry out what is the will of the eternal deity, even if seemingly of his own free will, whereas all activity that is not willed by God, as contrary to the laws of nature, will only produce unsuccessful results. Often the consequences are not immediately noticeable and this leads the human being to the erroneous conclusion that he can act according to his own judgement, but then the harmful effects for humanity are far more extensive, but even then they are often not yet proof to the deluded human being of his wrong actions and thoughts. In the same way, the theft of the earth, in and on earth, will have a terrifying effect on people if it assumes proportions which do not correspond to God’s will …. (interruption)

(continuation of no. 737) Laws of nature …. Reshaping and overexploitation of the earth ….

B.D. 0738 from January 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Subsequently, all reorganization will probably be promoted and attempts will be made to draw the consequences by presenting all damage that arises as inevitable for the necessity of life, but this will only be possible until the most serious consequences become apparent, which will have a life-threatening effect on people. For the lesser evil is want, but to want to remedy this by jeopardizing life is contrary to divine order and therefore against the laws of nature. This is why the lord warns against any violent intervention in His work of creation if people do not want to expose themselves to destruction; and it is far more advisable to be content with little and not to want to extract the earth’s produce in excess, for if this is done merely to increase earthly goods, the divine creator will not give His approval, for such endeavours would not be constructive but destructive and must therefore have a detrimental effect on humanity. However, if you base all your actions and dispositions solely on concern for humanity’s well-being …. that is, that only humanity’s needs are to be met while putting your own earthly advantage second, then the creator’s will to love will become active and endeavour to amply replace what was taken from the earth for the benefit of humanity, for then people are not acting in accordance with their own will but God’s, and this is not an offence against the laws of nature but fully complies with divine order. The course of the world will provide the proof that all destruction has its origin in insatiable greed for earthly possessions and that God’s will will put a stop where a certain limit is reached if He does not want to let humanity completely fall prey to destruction. Man can therefore never act contrary to divine laws with impunity if he does not want to endanger himself and his fellow human beings in body and soul …. (interruption)

(continuation of No. 737 and 738) Laws of nature …. Reshaping and overexploitation of the earth ….

B.D. 0739 from January 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Therefore, hear the voice from above: It is a daring game to want to defy nature, and in areas that are supposed to serve the quiet, peaceful people to nourish their bodies, the overexploitation of the earth is pushed too hard. In such areas, immature nature spirits must be released in vast numbers, which will now also express themselves, and their activity will by no means remain hidden from the environment, but the eruptions of the earth’s interior will prepare themselves, which are precisely the activity of such released nature spirits. Only those people can understand such a process who try to imagine what tremendous activity must develop when the rigid form, which harbours spiritual substances within itself, is suddenly released and all spiritual substances, which can never remain inactive, now enter into full activity …. that this activity must now somehow express itself. People do not consider that they themselves are the ones who suffer and that the activity of the spirits of nature makes itself felt in such a way that sooner or later people’s peace will be seriously disturbed by changes in nature, which in turn call people’s nourishment into question and also make themselves felt in other ways by having an unfavourable effect on people’s mind, on their soul, and thus the people inhabiting such regions are exposed to serious influences from the immature spiritual beings that have become free. Only a spiritually advanced person can truly recognize and judge this …. people without such knowledge take all these phenomena for granted and don’t know that they themselves are to blame for the physically and mentally miserable situation they find themselves in on earth, and that only due to the strong desire for gain, which is the reason why people try to penetrate the earth in order to extract as much value from it as possible …. …. Yet such striving can never meet with the creator’s approval, and thus acting against His will and against the laws of nature will also result in a transformation of the earth which will not have a favourable effect on people and even less on their souls. For man should not fight against the laws of nature if he does not want to suffer damage to body and soul ….

Inner contemplation …. willpower through divine grace ….

B.D. 0740 from January 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

The most important thing in life is that you often reflect on yourselves …. that you always endeavour to enter into the blessing of God’s grace, for God’s grace revives the willpower …. Far away from the world, in the time of quiet contemplation, you will feel the strengthening of the will, and no obstacle will stand in the way of the soul if it wants to take the path upwards. Everything the soul needs will be granted to it in abundance as soon as it strives, however, without the grace it can easily obtain it is considerably more difficult to progress, indeed, it is usually completely questionable, for the earthly child will rather go back in its endeavour than remain on the same level of development if God’s love does not helpfully meet it through grace. Therefore, do not neglect to implore it, since your own will is indispensable …. but as soon as your will itself asks for it, you will be abundantly provided with it …. You must never forget that the heavenly father will provide you with every conceivable help, but that this must always be made dependent on your will …. that God’s grace cannot be granted to you as long as you do not request and ask for it yourselves. If you want to, you will receive …. yet to support yourselves without your will would mean allowing inactive beings to come into being through God’s will, whose freedom of will would be taken away. It is therefore extremely easy to understand why you should turn to the heavenly father in prayer again and again …. You should not ask for earthly things, but be seriously concerned for the well-being of your soul, then your earthly well-being will also be assured. There are often days when you pay less attention to your inner life …. that you go along as it were unconcerned and inactive in a spiritual sense and therefore God’s grace cannot flow to you, which results in a weakening of willpower, carelessness and a certain indifference towards spiritual welfare. All these phenomena should warn you not to remain in this state …. they should always be a gentle reminder to gather yourselves together again in prayer and to implore God’s help against the weariness of the spirit. And this request will also be granted, for the father will not leave a child struggling for its salvation without help. You should be reminded of the words of the gospel: “Ask and it will be given to you …. knock and it will be opened to you ….”

Amen

Fatherwords ….

B.D. 0741 from January 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

You should seek My spirit often, My dear child, and true enlightenment will come to you at any time. Man cannot go astray who feels in himself that he belongs to Me, and in the same way all forces from Me unite with that which is from Me and longs for Me. Just one example, that far away from home the child remembers its father’s house in love and already the thought of father and mother lets it stay with them in spirit, but these hurry through the far distance in the same longing for love for the child and so only a spatial separation exists according to the body, but no barriers are set for the mutual thoughts and the spirit in them, so that they are allowed to stay together at any time and the power of love expresses itself unchanged. You, who have gone out from Me and whom I await back with all love, will always be certain of this love, and your heart should therefore only ever be longingly turned towards Me, then there will also be no boundaries between us ….

I embrace My children with all intimacy and only ever want their best …. protect them in the adversity which must be their lot in earthly life in order to recognize Me. The father’s love is the most precious thing they can call their own in earthly life, and if they are aware of it, all earthly pain will only pass them by like a dream. But how many go through earthly life unaware of the divine father’s love. Life becomes a burden for them because they alone have to bear what the father sends them …. they do not recognize Me and My strength of love cannot flow to them …. The meaning of life remains hidden from them, they carry out their earthly activities purely mechanically, care for the body and live in the frenzy of pleasure …. But they do not enter into intimate contact with Me, and I can only ever give them My love in the form of sorrow and worry so that they can find Me alone, unconstrained and completely of their own free will. And that is why there is so much hardship and misery in the world, because the number of those who recognize Me is getting smaller and smaller and My fatherly love can only express itself in such hardship in order to guide My children towards recognition. Yet those who have found Me should always and forever send their spirit to Me; every thought directed towards Me as father is strength and a source of grace, and you yourselves will derive the greatest benefit from it, for My love takes hold of you …. it knows no bounds and awakens in you the longing for eternal union. And your end will then be a blissful one ….

Amen

Fatherwords ….

B.D. 0742 from January 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

In the intention to serve Me, I recognize the willingness of My servants on earth. Every hour sacrificed to Me increases their spiritual wealth, for he who gives to Me receives in abundance and his sacrifice bears abundant fruit. Those who see their God and father in Me, who only strive to fulfil My will, will also be honoured by Me to hear My word and the purest gift, offered by Me Myself, will make them unspeakably happy, for I Myself am close to them in the word and My breath touches them when I speak to them. The highest fulfilment can already become theirs on earth, even the body can feel the blissful shiver of My nearness if this is My will, and the soul can detach itself and dwell in spheres of light, beholding the blissful host of spirits, for love for Me opens all gates and gives the soul liberation, even if only for a short time. You should constantly endeavour to achieve this, My child, for the higher you stand in the light of truth the more My love will take hold of you, for you will then serve Me in all faithfulness by being ready to receive in order to give again to the people who wanderingly cross your path of life. And the light shall be spread …. My labourers shall work diligently and tirelessly in the vineyard so that I can still reap a rich harvest in the last hour and My small flock will be multiplied many times over. I recognize My own very well, I know about all their faults and weaknesses but also about their love for Me and that they want to work for Me on earth …. I want to kindle their love so hotly in their hearts that they will be seized by a burning desire for Me and then satisfy this desire and make them infinitely happy, and when their love flares up into the brightest glow their hearts will be opened for My return, and then this heart will hear My word in the sweetest voice and be unspeakably happy about it …. And you will immediately be active for Me if this love has taken hold of you …. You will no longer feel suffering but be relieved of earthly suffering, even if it seems to the world that your fate is a hard one. Trust Me and My word …. I take away all suffering from you who have become My own in love and faithfulness …. You will hear the voices of angels and feel sweet pleasure, even if you offer your bodies to the world for mockery and derision. Whoever truly serves Me, I will protect him from suffering …. I let him see heaven, and the soul removes itself from its shell and leaves the body to those who, in blind zeal, only serve the world …. I receive you and will bless you for all eternity ….

Amen

Clairvoyance ….

B.D. 0743 from January 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Nothing in the world equals the blissful feeling that the presence of the lord triggers in the heart, and in no way can the feeling be explained or described beforehand, and therefore you, My child, must be patient and only ever wait believingly for the moment when I want to take up residence in you. Therefore, let your thoughts wander again and again to your saviour. The more longingly you look forward to this time of happiness, the sooner you will be fulfilled and your soul will be allowed to look ahead into the kingdom of eternal peace. If you experience the moment of union with Me on earth, your heart will feel the bliss in such excess that you will be raptured from earth for a short time, and then My spirit will flow into you and enlighten you, and from that hour on you will be granted the gift of seeing all things brightly and clearly which are otherwise hidden from the earthly eye. Yes, it will even become apparent to you what fate the earth is still destined for. You will also be able to recognize people’s spiritual state and read their thoughts, and this will be of great advantage to you in hours of distress which the world would like to cause you. But if you can see through their true intention you will always do the right thing to stop their intention. And thus your activity is only intended to the full extent when your strength is extraordinarily effective, that is, when I Myself can work through you, when you grant Me the right to take possession of your body with full will and you completely submit to My will. Only the deep love for Me will let your own will become silent and completely surrender to Me and leave all activity to Me. And then My strength will work in you and through you for the blessing of humanity, for the salvation of countless beings from deepest night …. And this time is no longer far away …. for the time of your mission is also drawing ever closer, and if you want to serve Me faithfully then strive for and request spiritual perfection so that I can be received in the purified heart and provide it with supreme happiness and bliss ….

Amen

Assurance of protection for a champion of God ….

B.D. 0744 from January 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Do not hide your face from the lord when He chooses you in His favour. Give your soul to Him and let yourself be guided by the will of the lord, then the lord will draw near to you in such a way that your heart will recognize Him …. And likewise your tongue will be loosed, and the word of the lord will come to you exceedingly easily. For then the hour is approaching which shall make you a champion for His name. In an incredibly short time you will receive those spiritual powers by means of which it will be easy for you to give instruction in every area and to refute all objections from the enemy’s side accurately. This will be necessary with the opponent’s way of fighting, and yet very few will want to recognize a visible working of the deity here too and therefore resort to the harshest antidotes to render a representative of God’s pure teaching harmless. Yet their endeavours are in vain, unforeseen events will always thwart their intentions and you will pass through many such hostilities without danger, for God’s love and wisdom rule and work and bring about all events for the benefit of humanity if it does not oppose them with all its will. However, anyone who works according to God’s will and for His honour will be able to avoid any hostility from people because it is God’s will that he has been given this sphere of activity and he is therefore protected until he has fulfilled his ministry for the glory of God. Yet to fight for God’s word and the name of the divine saviour is a task of such great importance that the serving earthly child is assured every protection from above, and therefore not a hair of his head will be allowed to be harmed if it is not the will of …. But whoever the lord promises His protection should stand firm in faith and in the confidence that the father always remembers His child …. He will be as it were untouchable and be able to exercise his ministry with such power that success will not fail to materialize …. that the path to the heavenly father will nevertheless be taken by many who recognize the purely divine word in the word which was visibly made accessible to people and endeavour to live according to it …. And so your work on earth shall soon begin for the blessing of humanity, for the time is near when good and evil will be separated …. light and darkness …. falsehood and truth …. where the way upwards is shown with fiery scripture ….

Amen
