Effects on the rigidity of the neck ….
B.D. 0745 from January 14th 1939, taken from Book No. 15
And there will be many of them to whom My help will be sent from above but their spirit will not want to receive it. They will remain in their rigid world of thought and not depart from it one iota, even though they have no evidence whatsoever for their views, they will only ever want to comfortably reject all responsibility for their lives and thereby cause themselves the greatest psychological damage. But now the spiritual side is influencing this earth with all its might; the desire to penetrate spiritual knowledge will also make itself felt among those, and it is therefore advisable to offer the teachings of God to those who are still misguided in such a way that their attention is first drawn to the proclamations which do not so much touch upon ecclesiastical teachings, for a certain resistance to everything dogmatic makes their rejection understandable, since they take offence precisely at the errors of these and would now like to renounce them completely. A thorough cleansing of the traditional will only influence these people favourably, and they will be much more receptive to pure, factual explanations than to pious speeches, which are rather repugnant to them. Instead of the previous lack of faith in the old teachings, a spiritual search will begin among all those who are not yet completely secularized. They will be confronted with questions, the answers to which seem not insignificant to them, and in view of the difficult times they will begin to occupy themselves with deeper thoughts and seek explanation …. And it is therefore often the first occasion for such inner reflections that can be called blessed, as the strangest coincidences and opportunities then chain together to lead the searching person into the light of truth, even if often only after a long time. And so every endeavour is blessed, often not visible at first, even seemingly having a negative effect, but sometimes life itself intervenes in such a way that the person cannot completely free his thoughts from what he has heard. And it is on such coincidences and events that the otherworldly world of spirits is built. The tireless activity of these cannot remain without influence, although only very few pay attention to the fact that they have the desire to turn away more and more from earthly life and occupy themselves with spiritual problems …. at first unwillingly and quickly discarding the thoughts, but always returning to the same thoughts. Humanity is very arrogant; it believes it can get by without spiritual knowledge, considers only all earthly matters worthy of attention and therefore remains in spiritual poverty, yet boasting and emphasizing its spiritual superiority with conviction. And it is difficult to preach the gospel to such people. To give them an insight into the divine creation …. to stimulate their thinking through indisputable facts can also cause a change in their thinking, and then a tiny seed has fallen into a soil in which it should be painstakingly nurtured in order to sprout and bear fruit. The father’s spirit of love will bless such endeavour, and with increased power the word will penetrate such willing hearts that have finally given up their resistance, abstain from any preconceived opinion and try to reach the light through the night. But it will take a long time, but there must always be a beginning if success is to be achieved one day. Many a person seeks the truth and does not yet recognize it because his search is not the right one …. yet he will reach truth and knowledge far sooner than the one who does not have an inherent desire for truth, who does not search and only accepts the opinion of others without having examined it himself …. The latter will truly walk in darkness until his hardened heart has recognized the wrongness of his thoughts and actions. Let each one seriously examine himself as to what moves him to reject the gifts from above …. He who seeks nothing other than to fathom the truth will be helped by spiritual powers …. but to whom only the thought of responsibility seems uncomfortable and makes him reject it, he will remain in the night of unbelief, and any spiritual help will be of no avail to his stubborn mind. And the lord will have to take far harsher measures against such people if He does not want to consign them to eternal destruction ….
Amen

Grace(choice) …. red thread ….
B.D. 0746 from January 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 15
Those who are in doubt should not ask for My advice in vain, and so accept the following: To have the right knowledge in all things is not to be demanded of you humans, yet you should endeavour to learn to understand that the intervention of the eternal deity is often unavoidably necessary and that such must be left to Me in its nature, for you humans are unable to judge what is necessary in world events. And thus you humans will hardly be able to overlook what a dreadful end your fate would be without My visible working amongst you. The spiritual adversity amongst humanity requires infinite love and mercy, and if I send this to people you will grumble and close yourselves to My words, and yet this is the only way to help all erring and missing earthly children out of all adversity. And if the soul begs for mercy in all agony, shall I abandon it to ruin unheard just so as not to overturn your statutes, which you alone interpret in such a way that they exclude My intervention? Every person on earth is My child and I want to give My help to everyone, and I cannot bind Myself to empty letters which you do not grasp according to their meaning …. I would truly not be a good father if I did not want to help these children in need, for you also want My mercy …. you want Me to bless you and bestow My grace on you …. and My love should not be so great that grace would be granted to all? You want to make the measure of grace of love dependent on the worth or unworthiness of the person? Everyone will be allowed to receive grace in abundance and I will not deny it to anyone who only finds Me in prayer. And therefore you should not believe that you only stand in the grace you have found towards Me …. My grace is also granted without limit to those who in all humility expect such from Me, and not one person will be denied grace if he does not reject it himself. And therefore it is completely absurd to portray Me as a strict, implacable father Who has only chosen whom He considers with His grace and leaves the non-chosen empty-handed. You must consider one thing, that you are all sinful, you must consider how countless times I have to forgive your sins, but how My love continues to see My children in you. And then you will also be able to realize that I make no distinction and that all children on earth are close to Me as having originated from Me without exception and that My concern applies to all …. that I await everyone’s return to the father’s house and would also like to give everyone the same means of help in order to speed up this return. Therefore, anyone who believes that he is in the sun of grace of My love must never ever let My love appear so limited that it cannot and does not want to take hold of all beings equally, and it is solely up to the human being’s will to make himself worthy of this grace, i.e. he must only want to receive it and it will be offered to him without limitation.
Now I want to give the doubting brother some more information about the question that particularly moves him: Behold, in quiet hours you recognize the deity and your heart has overcome fear. Now it desires a visible sign from Me, it desires, so to speak, a separation of the righteous and the unrighteous …. it wants to be visibly and audibly initiated and drawn into the building of the new Jerusalem, and in such impatience it completely overlooks the fact that the work on earth is already the beginning of this building and that you all serve Me when you take care of the ignorant and instruct them through My word. As the time of the judgement is no longer far away, you should all make use of this short time and devotedly stand up for My word, and if you are commanded to do so from above, then simply pass it on so that they who are not in the knowledge of books may grasp it. My word will always and forever remain the same, and every meaning of the word remains unchanged, only man’s mind has created changes for itself and often errs in the interpretation of the word. But if I want to help you and make this word of Mine accessible to you anew in an easily understandable way and explain it to you in detail, then do not reject it but grasp the thread which shall unravel what is unclear to you …. which shall illustrate My love to you, and all wisdom shall be imparted to you as I deem necessary, yet always only for your benefit and that of all humanity ….
Amen

Insertion into the divine order ….
B.D. 0747 from January 17th 1939, taken from Book No. 15
What the father commands you to do must be your guiding principle, for living in His will is all He requires of you, and His law is only given in order to lead you to happiness, because the fulfilment of this law is also the prerequisite for entering eternal bliss. Whoever endeavours to live in such a way that every day is an insertion into the divine order will be able to solve the earthly task quite easily …. he is subject to the will of the father and will therefore never act and think differently than is in accordance with divine will, and a child who never opposes the father’s commandment will also receive the full reward for his obedience. However, the slightest act of rebellion will be recognizable in its consequences …. It is not that the father rejects his child because of this, but the child will seriously harm itself by having to continue to struggle with resistance throughout its earthly life, while a willing integration into God’s order also ensures an always calm and easy earthly life with the happy feeling of the child belonging to the heavenly father. Anyone who does not know this feeling in earthly life does not know what he has to do without …. he therefore also does not appreciate the father’s love and yet again needs the strength to be able to fulfil God’s commandments …. and therefore his struggle on earth will be ever more difficult, for he who has love also has strength …. he who lives in love for the heavenly father will use all his willpower to comply with the divine laws, and it will therefore be easy for him to fit in with God’s intended order, for then the child will want the same as the father wants, because the love which unites both pursues the same goal …. eternal union and thus eternal bliss ….
Amen

Light phenomena ….
B.D. 0748 from January 20th 1939, taken from Book No. 15
The lord will intervene in world events at the right time, and from now on celestial phenomena visible from afar will become noticeable in about forty days, and all attention will be focussed on these, since the position of the sun cannot give any explanation for them. It is well given to man to investigate …. you will also be able to explain many things on the basis of the laws of nature, but as soon as extraordinary phenomena do not allow such a natural explanation, the wise men of the world will be faced with a riddle. And this lies in the intention of the divine creator. Where all human explanations are invalid, that is where the questions relating to infinity or a divine being begin …. You should therefore note that the divine power does not express itself in any other form than is spiritually beneficial for people living on earth …. They must be able to recognize God’s guidance and omnipotence if only they have the will to do so …. but on the other hand they must also have the possibility to remain completely indifferent to such phenomena if their will, in all obstinacy, cannot be directed towards spiritual realization. In direct connection with these phenomena the temperature will also be so extraordinary that people will ask themselves about the cause of such conspicuous changes, and the simplest solution will not be found …. that the general spiritual decline of earthly people themselves is the cause of it …. that as a result of the extremely strong activity of the beings in the beyond, which stand in the light and which …. in order to assist the beings on earth …. will also cause a change in the entire atmosphere surrounding the earth, for all mature spiritual beings will express themselves in a great abundance of light which, however, will have to remain hidden from people for the most part in order not to bring about a forced change of heart. If, however, the lord allows the beings of light to appear in all their brilliance for wise reasons then this is both an act of grace out of love for earthly people as well as an extraordinary warning sign for all those who need light …. the light of truth and realization. Only where the limits of worldly wisdom are set, where the ‘wise’ are faced with a riddle, is the visible sign combined with spiritual pondering …. One seeks to find an explanation, and if this cannot be found earthly and intellectually, one allows oneself to be quietly guided into the spiritual realm and searches there …. And blessed are those who then find …. who ask for God’s grace and enlightenment and then attain the right realization. If these signs will disturb the world, you know that the spiritual world is near the earth …. Then seek contact with it, try to surrender yourselves to these spiritual beings with all your willpower and you will be visibly successful in all spiritual work and equally successful in defying all evil power, for if you give yourselves of your own free will to these beings of light which make themselves known to you, they will fill you with an indescribable urge for spiritual activity by virtue of their love. They give you the ability to look ahead, for they are the messengers of heaven, sent to earth by the father …. They are the forces that unite with the good of the earth …. Allow yourselves to be seized by this power, which will only result in blessings for you, and recognize, when such phenomena become visible, the activity of God’s love for you children of men, Who wants to awaken or strengthen your faith through it. And be careful not to let such admonitions pass you by without taking notice of them. It is only a blessing for everyone if he does not close himself to the working of these beings of light but allows their strength to flow into him with an open heart and a willing mind, which is only beneficial for the soul and its progress. So wait for the time, which is no longer far away, so that it will be a time of grace for you ….
Amen

Conqueror of matter …. unlocking the inner eye …. spiritual growth ….
B.D. 0749 from January 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 15
The more eagerly you seek contact with your heavenly father the easier it will be for you to receive the proclamations from the beyond, for the soul forms a kind of heavenly ladder which it can easily climb the less resistance the body puts up against it. And thus an everlasting connection is the surest guarantee for your progress, and subsequently you will also realize that you are making tremendous progress in the spiritual realm if only you pay attention to how distant everything worldly touches you, how unreal and insignificant everything appears to you, which is in fact also insignificant, and how only all spiritual experiences are and will remain the most important for you. And when your spirit has now overcome the matter around it, then you will also penetrate ever deeper into the spiritual …. What is still a mystery to you today will now visibly and audibly reveal itself to you, and all struggle, which is now still directed towards matter, will be superfluous in the future, for the enlightened spirit, which is no longer bound by the fetters of matter, is unhindered in its ascent into the spheres of light, it no longer needs life on earth for its perfection …. As the conqueror of matter, he is entitled to participate in the deep knowledge of spiritual truths, and so the heavenly father will give him every opportunity to penetrate them. Whatever moves him, whatever he desires to explore …. nothing is closed to him, and the hours of most blissful edification now await such a soul which has taken the path of light truth and whose desire is for the final union with the eternal creator. So it is enough for you to know that your spirit will also reach that stage where all questions which still occupy you today will be answered most clearly, for those who are searching of their own free will are assured of all assistance. Just as everything in nature complements and perfects itself according to divine wisdom in a well-considered sequence, just as everything follows its course in divine order, spiritual growth can also be observed step by step …. a certain stage must always be reached first in order to enter the next level, and all preconditions must be taken into account so that no incomplete knowledge is an obstacle to the maturing of the soul. Behold, and thus you humans should not worry about how and in what way the father imparts this knowledge to you, for everything only happens in order to make the kingdom of heaven accessible to you in all bliss, and even the smallest event contributes towards this, although it is often not quite comprehensible to you …. Whoever seeks frequent contact with the father, his heart should not be afraid of the task he has been given …. The father’s ways are marvellous, His love infinite, His power mighty …. and He should not be able to do this, to satisfy the desire of the heart of a willing child …. to let the spirit take a look into infinity and to open the inner eye for him? …. It will come, like a dream in the night …. what seems impossible in the daily monotony of life will take shape, and the earthly child will suddenly see in the spirit. Only a complete detachment from the world is necessary …. Whoever gives up the last out of love for the father, the father will give him back incomparably more beautiful things, and he will recognize that his sacrifice earned him the fullness of divine love, in that his spirit received in abundance ….
And now listen to the advice that comes to you from on high. The same spiritual forces warn you against haste. People often do not know how to draw the line between the right and wrong application of the commandments concerning the search for the supernatural. Caution is always advisable if people have not reached spiritual maturity and are not yet receptive, so to speak, to messages from above. They will be thrown off course and their spiritual constitution will not progress but rather misjudge the significance of the messages from above and reject and condemn them as not wanted by God. For them the time has not yet come, and if they faithfully endeavour to walk rightly before God, their opinion should be left to them, for a complete enlightenment is not required where one already believes to fully recognize the truth. And in order not to confuse and plunge great doubters into even greater doubts, you should not yet carry out your plan (No. 0746) until you receive more detailed instructions, for the lord sees into the hearts of those, and He considers each one according to need. This only for the knowledge that the opportunity will find itself, for which your lines were received by you, but that they do not yet want to fulfil their purpose at present ….
Amen

'I Am the beginning of all things ….'
B.D. 0750 from January 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 15
I Am the beginning of all things …. Take this to heart when you are moved by the slightest doubt about the creation of everything you see around and above yourselves. If My power is thus sufficient to call every life form into being, what kind of strength would then be necessary to oppose this creative will? An equally destructive will perhaps? …. In that case a second Deity would have to be at work next to Me, whose expression of strength would run contrary to My own activity. Anyone who imagines the Deity as an imperfect Being can truly place many such gods next to this One, yet he will not have the right kind of concept about the one true Deity, Which has created everything and controls all. Anyone who wants to recognise Me must believe …. and subordinate himself as a creation to the Creator …. And he will become enlightened, and in this light he will see Me as the Ruler of the universe …. He will realise that no opposing force is able to counteract Me by working destructively where I Am creating.
Only the physical transformation of the earth’s surface has been left to the human being’s free will, so that people’s creative urge, which I likewise have placed into their hearts, can occupy itself. Thus they can more or less act at their own discretion but they nevertheless will always have to recognise their own inadequacy and always be dependent on the omnipotence of the Creator and the activity of natural forces and cannot oppose them arbitrarily. Thus nothing is more understandable than wanting to ascertain the almighty Creator and yet nothing is more impossible …. Human intellect is not sufficient by far to fathom Me in My full elementary power …. and it will be even less possible to categorise Me, that is, to put My Being and Becoming into any kind of form which seems acceptable to the human mind. This is a hopeless undertaking which could never produce a satisfactory result, for I was, I Am …. and I forever will be an inscrutable Spirit Who harbours within Himself everything that can be found in the entire universe …. to Whom creation is subordinate because it originated from Him …. and Who is the beginning and the end of all things …. the Spirit of Love from eternity to eternity ….
Amen

Protecting the truth through spiritual forces when receiving ….
B.D. 0751 from January 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 15
From now on you shall only receive information about things which your spirit recognizes by virtue of its origin from God but which are foreign to you as a human being, so that even your last doubts will vanish, for anyone who strives for the pure truth is also called to receive it and pass it on to the world. The type of reception is different for every recipient, many a researcher prepares questions for himself which he is interested in answering, and not infrequently an opinion of his own has already been formed which then pushes itself forward in the person and combines itself with what is received from above. But it is never permitted from above, i.e. from the spiritual side, that the teachings are received completely wrongly, so that your thoughts in this respect are unfounded. For the lord takes into account the will of love of the writing servant, and whoever wants to serve Him in all truth will also be protected by Him. There is always a certain danger for the earthly child in wanting to penetrate the eternal truth as long as it is entangled in certain forms and teachings or has knowledge of such …. It will be much easier to teach the truth where the human being’s thinking is like a blank page …. where not all kinds of knowledge and different teachings prevent or impede the acceptance of the pure teaching of God, for often one’s own thoughts are active in the latter if they do not completely surrender to the divine will. And so receive today the explanation that every spirit from God possesses a mighty power when the body, the matter, grants it freedom. It is completely impossible that he, who is truth in himself, should allow himself to be bound in a lie …. Its power is so strong that it excludes all wrong and false thinking, so that the child willing to write, who wants to remain in the truth, perceives every false or erroneous word as such, while the truth is also recognizable to him as such during writing and is grasped by his will, and therefore every proclamation can be fully believed as long as the earthly child receives it with the intention of serving only God and thus the eternal truth. In case of the slightest doubt during the reception only the call of the lord will suffice and the thinking of the earthly child will be clarified and only adjusted to receive the truth, i.e., the friends on the other side will influence the thoughts of the writer with increased strength and thus protect his work from error and untruth. And in such secure protection the work will continue for the benefit and blessing of people to whom the lord wants to make the true teaching accessible again and therefore will not allow ignoble forces to be equally active in it …. But if only the God-serving forces of the beyond and the earth are permitted, then safety is already given in this, for the good spiritual truly still has the upper hand and does not allow any evil forces into the circle imparting the teachings to you. Thus you may receive with peace of mind and serve your creator and thereby also your fellow human beings in an unchanged way, for the pure truth shall be given to those who are of good will ….
Amen

Reasons for the revelations …. "Not one stone will be left upon another …."
B.D. 0752 from January 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 16
The world will always deny all spiritual work, and yet a search will start, and that on the way of spiritual meetings, although the truth of such received announcements will also be doubted. And therefore the lord chooses this form in order to inform people of His will. It is incredibly difficult to be heard by people if their free will is to remain untouched and their free decision is to be left to them, for the opposing force affects people’s thinking in the same way and tries to present everything heard as untrustworthy …. so that a person without inner piety, without unrestrained devotion to God, easily runs the risk of listening to these whispers and thus doubts the received proclamations …. the imparted word of God… And it will therefore only be possible to convey the purest truth to people if the receptacle of divine truth …., the recipient of the teachings from above, completely withdraws from the worldly goings-on and is willing to serve God …. if he accepts the gifts with full willingness with the purest intention of serving God and his neighbour …. without any personal advantage, always only according to the inner urge of his heart. Then such a servant of God on earth already reaches the degree of maturity that enables him to break through matter and see spiritually …. and thus recognize the truth of all revelations. And yet the worldly person will remain dismissive for the simple reason that he does not possess the ability to think spiritually but only looks at everything with worldly eyes and is therefore convinced of the impossibility of a connection between the beyond and earth. He cannot judge an area which he does not know and will therefore also prefer to completely deny everything within the same framework. Yet the time is drawing ever closer of which it is written …. not one stone will be left upon another …. which spiritually means that all views must be shaken up in order to form a new free thinking among mankind. All wisdom which people believe to possess today will become invalid in view of the messages from heaven …. and the more earthly knowledge burdens people, the more difficult it will be to grasp the new teaching, for only he will be able to receive completely and unlimitedly who has first purified himself from all the dross of worldly wisdom in order to receive only the wisdom-filled teachings which God imparts to people in His love and mercy ….

Mystery of the divine being …. faith …. love ….spirit of God ….
B.D. 0753 from January 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Whoever wants to recognize Me must believe, and if faith is deeply rooted in the heart, the spirit in him, which is after all My share, is also active and guides the person to the right recognition. In order to recognize Me, however, love must also be active …. The will to love has to be put into action, for since I am love Itself I can only be recognized in love, and thus the human being will only grasp the mystery of the divine being if he makes an effort to become like God. Only then will he realize that the eternal deity can never be fathomed intellectually but only in the heart, insofar as this is ever possible for a human being …. Just as the human eye is not able to look into radiant light without damaging the eye’s vision, so little is man able to grasp the immeasurable power of light and love in earthly life, for if this were revealed to earthly man in all fullness of spirit, the immediate dissolution of all substance would be the inevitable consequence, for no earthly being could exist in the face of the eternal glow of love. In aeons of years all spiritual power changes as it were forced …. it flows back to where it originated …. it reunites with the divine elemental power which, incomprehensible to man, remains the source of life and origin of all beings. This power slumbers unrecognized in a myriad of beings …. They are not aware of the spiritual abilities at their disposal and thus do not utilize the divine power which could open up immeasurable things within them. But this power must first be awakened again in order to be able to express itself actively and audibly to people. Whoever now stands in faith and lives in love is enlivened by My spirit. It informs him of heaven and earth, i.e. of everything that is visible and invisible; it imparts knowledge to him which is far above the knowledge of a worldly wise person …. He reveals to him the creation, its meaning and purpose for man on earth and allows him to recognize his relationship to the creator …. And when the human being, guided by the spirit, begins to sense God’s spirit of love, the reunification of God’s spirit in the human being with the eternal original spirit, divine love, also begins, and the spirit in the human being has freed itself from all bonds of matter, which is the obstacle to the final union. The spirit is free and now strives inexorably towards the eternal light, and the persistence in form through thousands of years has come to an end, to the indescribable joy of the creator and His creature ….

3 years test of faith …. Christianity ….
B.D. 0754 from January 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Every task involves a certain commitment and the earthly child should always vigorously strive to meet this and not allow mediocrity to creep in since a work such as this demands great dedication and is too vast to be likened to daily routine work. And thus you are advised to give all your will and devotion to this work that it should not suffer any loss on account of trivialities. And now begin:
It will take three complete years for Christianity as a whole to pass its test of faith, to either become strong within itself or to completely abandon its faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour of the world …. And during these three years a clear separation will be distinctly noticeable because the world and its followers endeavour to achieve a total separation from faith, whilst the others unite ever more firmly and devote themselves ever more deeply to their Saviour and Redeemer. The latter flock will be much smaller indeed and for this reason great hardship must still afflict the world to save what is not yet completely bound by Satan. The large community of those who deny the Lord are approaching a dreadful time. The Lord is without mercy when His Words and advice are no longer heeded and are ridiculed and laughed at. It is of vital importance to realise that time after time the Lord seeks to approach the human being with love and kindness and that He meets ever more hardened hearts …. that His intention always concerns the return of His fallen children and is not understood, thus leaving only one way to soften their hearts, and all clemency and mercy would be in vain, as these are ignored. Human beings can only return to their Creator by way of much grief and distress, even then it has to come from the heart because the Lord takes no notice of empty prayers, and after that there will be another separation which can yet deceive the ignorant in the final hour. A heartfelt sigh towards the Father of infinity suffices to deliver a child from gravest peril …. But those who are not praying in spirit and in truth will call in vain as their call cannot be heard; and thus there will not be many who acknowledge their relationship with the Father in the last hour, but for the few it will truly be a blessing ….
Amen

Indication of great events …. end of many people ….
B.D. 0755 from January 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
“You have My word and do not heed it ….” is what I would like to call out to people who only pursue earthly pleasures without ceasing, and I would like to warn them against vain endeavours yet they do not listen to Me. And so I have now decided to send them the last warnings in such a way that they have to heed them. How little man’s mind is focussed on his inner life …. how quickly he forgets pain and sorrow, hardship and misery when I have removed this pressure from him …. and how often he lets such admonitions of love pass him by without paying attention to them. And so I now want their thinking to be forcibly shaken up and only have humanity’s improvement in mind. My concern is for their inner conversion, for My love is still focussed on these beings and only ever wants their best. Yet their hearts do not recognize Me …. In all worldly joy they seek their God, to whom they sacrifice, yet they do not realize the outcome of their soul. And if I now want to turn their thoughts towards Me I will have to use force and stir people’s hearts to a great extent through painful events which will set the whole world in turmoil. I will be a lenient judge for those who will be affected by this, after all, they are giving their lives for countless earthly children who are to be shown the way upwards as a result …. I have no other goal than to save people from deep adversity and must now resort to means which seem to be a work of destruction but which are the opposite for humanity …. redemption from the shackles of the adversary …. and the time is drawing ever closer which will bring life and death at the same time …. Life to men who turn to me, and death certainly taken earthly from many, but to whom in the hereafter the way to cognition is shown by spiritual power, so that they do not come to harm because of their prematurely ended life ….
Amen

Veneration of the virgin Mary …. The birth of Christ ….
B.D. 0756 from January 25th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Jesus’ life on earth required a normal birth. The Deity wanted to incarnate Himself in the body of a human being on earth, consequently this body had to have a natural origin …. it had to come forth from a woman’s womb. However, in Jesus’ time everything extraordinary was quickly explained …. as being in cohorts with the devil …. A natural explanation was certainly searched for yet if it couldn’t be found by simple means this very conclusion sufficed and thus gave countless people the reputation of being God-deserters. Judging by human standards Jesus’ birth was likewise an act which lacked all preconditions and, for this reason, the same explanation was intended to be applied to a virgin which everyone knew to be exceptionally devout.
The extraordinary occurrences at the birth certainly struck many as strange, yet most attached little importance to them. And so only a small circle received the news about an extremely unusual kind of birth …. about the awakening of a life which lacked all natural prerequisites and was therefore an event caused by God’s will and omnipotence. This was subsequently exploited in a way that people used the figure of the mother Mary to create a being which receives their veneration, devotion and love to such an extent that it detracts the human being from his most important task on earth …. to establish contact with the Lord and Saviour Himself …. This applies to the exceptional demands for intercession as well as the illogical devotion which lacks all justification, for the mother of Jesus was chosen as a result of her piety …. but by no means aware of the immense grace which was bestowed upon her …. she was God’s chosen servant and therefore only God alone deserves the honour, for all beings are His work ….
Amen

Efforts of the teachers beyond ….
B.D. 0757 from January 25th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
How deplorable are those people who do not want to recognize. And what favours will they lose, but in times of adversity they lack firm support, which is why all thoughts are only directed towards securing earthly life in order to be relieved of all adversity. Yet their hour will also come, for the test of life can only be passed by overcoming the resistance which has to be offered to an earthly child if its earthly life is to be of benefit to it and its soul. Therefore try to remain silent if the understanding for spiritual truths is not yet present, and now receive:
The pure spirits teach people in various forms. Where a direct connection from the beyond to earth is possible, a regulated instruction can also be carried out and the wisdom can be offered in such a way that it touches every area. A planned training can begin, which introduces the earth child to all knowledge according to its receptivity. A person longing for truth will be able to be taught the fullest truth, since the spiritual teachers will endeavour to impart spiritual knowledge in all its fullness. However, spiritual beings who are in the know also dwell in the vicinity of every earthly human being and try to influence his thoughts and in this way promote his inner life. Whoever feels the urge to give his thoughts a certain direction or is concerned with the actual purpose of life, his thoughts are guided or influenced by such active spirit beings who take care of the searching or erring souls. Not one person remains completely uninfluenced from the spiritual side, only the success of these beings is not always the same and not always satisfying, for they often meet with quite stiff resistance, namely where matter still holds the human being too tightly in its grip and he does not want to know anything about a spiritual world lying outside the material world. There, every emerging thought of a spiritual destiny on earth will be rejected immediately, because it does not appeal to people with a completely materialistic attitude. And it is precisely such people who are in urgent need of enlightenment, and the spiritual beings who want to teach often achieve nothing and have to try again and again with the greatest patience to teach people to think differently and thus make their whispers accessible. It is the heavenly father’s will that all help shall be sent to the earthly children from above in order to put a stop to people’s spiritual shallowness, and therefore means will be used in view of the spiritual backwardness, which becomes more noticeable from day to day, which shall bring about great success and meet with the divine creator’s approval. Whoever pays attention to the coming time will notice extraordinary phenomena which will repeat themselves more and more often in order to involuntarily direct people’s thoughts to supernatural things. Such phenomena always occur when a tremendous emotional upheaval has preceded them, thus people will concern themselves with things which are inexplicable to them and then look for the explanation in the supernatural and, even with good will, find it …. For the lord seeks to bring salvation to everyone, and this in different ways. Therefore pay attention to everything that can lead to knowledge …. these are only ever the endeavours of your friends in the beyond who are concerned about your salvation and would like to help you during the time you are still misguided and ignorant …. Anyone who does not stubbornly resist the help from above will recognize and benefit greatly from every event if it is his will to attain the truth ….
Amen

Blessing of the work of redemption …. faith in it necessary ….
B.D. 0758 from January 26th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Only those who have faith in the saviour in their deepest heart should be allowed to enter the kingdom of the eternal, for it is an incomparable error to deny Him, and all matter must prevail without the divine redeemer, since He alone was able to break the power of death and thus only then was it possible for humanity to overcome matter. But a human being can never again redeem himself from his fetters by his own strength and he must therefore have full faith in the saviour of the world. Only then can he also be led into the truth, for man can only recognize what is right when he frees himself from the bonds of matter. Thus the whole change on earth is only then according to divine will when the human being voluntarily moves the thought of redemption in his heart …. when he tries to imagine that he is hopelessly at the mercy of the opposing power …. that his struggle for realization would be in vain because the power of evil would be so strong without the work of redemption that the human being would not be able to fight it. But this very power was broken by the lord Jesus Christ, and the power of love now has the upper hand …. This is why faith in the divine saviour can never be eliminated, for the lord takes care of everyone who believes in Him. But He cannot give the same help and grace to those who reject Him and go to war against Him ….
At the threshold of death, a person with a bright spirit will often be allowed a glimpse into the realm of eternity …. He will suddenly recognize the value of faith in Jesus Christ, and for some it will then be too late …. That is why the deity now wrestles for every soul, it wants to show it the way in order to be able to partake of all favours which were made accessible to men through the work of redemption …. But all of God’s love and mercy is in vain where the earthly child stubbornly refuses to follow all instructions. The lord spoke the words on the cross: “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do ….” And the father is long-suffering and full of love, intent only on instructing the ignorant and telling them about the blessing of the work of redemption. And the world is becoming ever more hardened, ever darker in its thinking and ever further removed from the eternal truth. Thus there is only the possibility left to change people’s thinking through world-shaking events, and in order not to let all these misguided people fall prey to destruction, this very judgement by God is required so that those who hear His call and follow Him will still find their way back to the father. The creator of all that exists truly only has the best in mind for His creatures, even though people do not recognize it as such …. Everything that was, is and will be has only ever happened for the purpose of people’s spiritual development, because the father in heaven is loving, wise and just …. and He organizes His things in such a way that is spiritually beneficial for His children on earth ….
Amen

Spiritual task of living beings …. inner vision ….
B.D. 0759 from January 26th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Just keep looking upwards and your thoughts and intentions will always be guided correctly. The soul is so often in danger of becoming fickle, and time and again the lord has to take care of it with the greatest patience and instruct it to strengthen its faith, for the reason for the discouragement and the thinking which depresses the soul only lies in weak faith. It is a kind of compulsion for the soul that, in order to strengthen its faith, it is temporarily kept in a state of depression, for it struggles in it all the more eagerly, since this state bothers it, from which it seeks to free itself. It would be so reassuring for you to recognize the benefits and blessings of the many small resistances and adversities of daily life, so surrender yourselves to divine guidance full of trust and you will never have cause to fear and become weak in faith. And in this certainty receive whatever spiritual teachings you get today:
Every being, no matter how small, is necessary in God’s creation, yet man is not aware of the nature and purpose of its task. The external earthly activity can certainly be observed in many, but the spiritual activity, which is the actual purpose of the many small living beings, remains hidden from people and will only be recognized after the body of flesh has been laid aside. If you humans could take a look into the realm of the active spirit world, you would be astonished …. And yet it is even within your power and your will to acquire the ability to see what is hidden. In order to be able to recognize the activity of all, even the smallest beings, it is enough to immerse yourselves in the glories of God’s creation, a rock-solid belief in God’s love and omnipotence and a willing opening of the heart. And the images will be reflected clearly visible in the human heart, and the earthly child will hear the explanation audibly, the spiritual eye will open up, and the lord Himself will instruct where there is a deep longing for truth and knowledge. And you will recognize the restless activity on earth and in the beyond, you will see that every being has to fulfil its task, which has a far greater spiritual effect than an earthly one, even though the latter activity is likewise necessary for the existence of the whole of creation. For not the smallest being is created purposelessly or uselessly, all creatures perceive the spiritual currents and constantly pass them on so that they fulfil their task as receivers and mediators of spiritual strength and are indispensable as electrons in the whole of creation ….
Amen

Conveying divine power …. electrons ….
B.D. 0760 from January 27th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
And therefore it will be left to you humans to regard the work of creation as a reproductive tool of the emanation of divine strength. In the plan of creation this can only be sent out into the universe via an infinite number of small living beings so that the human being may partake of this power to the highest degree and, as a purified being, himself power from God, unite again with the original power. If you humans consider this endlessly long path and regard yourselves as the final destination, then it must also be understandable to you that your endeavours should now only be directed towards the final goal, for you harbour so countless miracles of divine creation which, permeated by divine strength, have all found unification in the human being’s soul, and you will understand what is now at stake when the last receiving vessel of all power from God is unscrupulously smashed and all already existing power contributes to the increase of matter, which after all is supposed to be dissolved and completely changed into spiritual, which is then the case when the power of God is not used for spiritual perfection but is only used for purely worldly things. You truly possess this power flowing from God in great abundance and do not know what abilities are yours through it if you would like to utilize the power in the right sense …. how you can penetrate the wonders of divine creation and your spiritual eye can see what is otherwise invisible to you …. how you could only ever convince yourselves of God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence if it were your serious will to already achieve the perfection possible for you here on earth. The more you learn to see spiritually, the less you feel the burden of earth, and as soon as the spirit of God comes alive in you, you are master over all matter, yet in order to awaken it to life your mind must only be focussed on using earthly life for your spiritual well-being …. You must remain in deepest union with the divine creator and only ever entrust yourselves to His benevolent fatherly hand …. Then every step will be a step towards perfection. For God only sees the will of the earthly child …. If this is turned towards Him, then He will take hold of his heart with His love and guide it towards the right goal. Anyone who always sends the prayer to the father from the bottom of his heart: “I want to serve You in time and eternity ….”, his will also grasps the power that comes to him and this draws him towards it …. because everything that emanates from God, if He is not resisted, inevitably leads back to God.
Amen

Childlike trust …. "Come unto Me, all of you …."
B.D. 0761 from January 27th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Become like children and thereby also acquire the right to be led by the hand like an underage child, and your path will truly be the right one. An unknown feeling of security will make life easier for you to bear, and if you trustingly abandon yourselves to the lord and saviour, you will want for nothing. For His words are sweet: “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” If the lord Himself gives you this promise, you need only remember the lord in your suffering and He will help you bear it, for He does not forsake His children. Take heed of these words, for you are still facing a difficult time on earth, and whoever does not then trustingly surrender to the divine saviour will have to struggle unspeakably hard. The right consolation at all times is His word, which He gave to the children of earth in love, and anyone who adheres to it will be wonderfully strengthened to endure the severe suffering on earth, for His word is both strength and fortitude for the anxious heart. And do not forget the prayer …. Offer all your worries and needs to the father in heaven, so that He may send you help at the right time. Whoever finds the way to the father will not knock in vain, and his request will always be granted if it is sent up to Him with all fervour. And if everything around you should waver, then stand firm and hold on to the word of the lord that He will protect His own in all dangers of body and soul ….
Amen

Idle life …. fear of death ….
B.D. 0762 from January 28th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
The idleness of life is always to be considered where life is not utilized properly, and many an error will be the cause of this. The soul will find itself in greatest distress when the time on earth passes without any spiritual success. Then a feeling of fear will take hold of the soul, it will see the end of its earthly life approaching ever closer and unconsciously sense the agonizing state afterwards …. And this is then expressed in the feeling of fear of death. And yet again, this fear of death is often the last means of realization. If the human being has achieved all earthly goals, if he cannot find any real satisfaction and complete fulfilment of his wishes afterwards …. if he feels an emptiness in his innermost heart despite his earthly well-being, then he will endeavour to get to the bottom of the cause of this unsatisfactory feeling and he must realize that the thought of life after death will not allow him to find inner peace. He must realize that everything he has striven for so far will come to an end, and this thought does not give him a feeling of security, but rather one of uneasiness, because in his deepest heart he cannot give himself a certain answer as to what awaits him after death. And this pondering and brooding often causes him to immerse himself in spiritual questions …. that he suddenly learns to recognize the transience and worthlessness of everything earthly with a bright spirit and pays far more attention to the unfathomable. Then his spirit becomes lively to the same extent as his desire for the earthly subsides, and this has brought about the fear of death, and the soul was granted assistance by the good spiritual forces struggling for it. The thought of death can therefore have an unspeakably beneficial effect on those who always and easily found fulfilment in worldly desires. They paid no attention to the world and its dangers and were constantly its conquerors …. yet they are powerless and powerless in the face of death, and fear is rooted in the recognition of their own state of weakness, which then drives the will to seek a way to overcome the horrors of death. And this path is the bond with the eternal creator, to whom life and death are subject …. Death does not frighten those who have recognized it, for their soul has found the path to eternal life …. death means darkness and night …. The lust and desire of the world shrouds the spirit in darkness, and this state is equal to eternal death. Only he who overcomes the desire for the world will pass from night to light …. he will awaken from death to life, and he will undoubtedly overcome the horrors of death. That is why detachment from the world is the very first condition for freeing the spirit from the shackles of matter, and every step through earthly life will then mean advancement of the soul and result in higher spiritual development. The human being will then be able to say at the end of his days: My life has truly not been idle …. if he has reached the goal of standing in the light of truth and need not fear the horrors of death ….
Amen

Fatherly Words …. My name ….
B.D. 0763 from January 28th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
All willing children carry Me in their hearts and search for My spirit because their souls had recognised Me. And you, My child, will hear My voice whenever you sacrifice your time to Me, and My work will not be without success for you. The hours during which you fear that you lack the necessary strength to do My work will diminish. Very soon you are given a mission which you can easily carry out with My help. Your faith, love and will become great because I Myself will be your reward …. and eagerly you will strive for this.
My child, everything that shall be revealed to humanity through you is hidden in your name:
Buße — B – They shall atoneErkennen — E – acknowledge their originRastlos — R – work on their soul ceaselesslyTätig — T – be active with love.Horchen — H – listen to the voice in their heartAllen — A – deny all worldly pleasures
Demütig — D– humbly submit themselves to the Father in heavenUm — U – constantly pray for graceDienen — D – serve the Creator of heaven and earthDienen — D – serve their neighbour with loveEhre — E – and give Me, the Father in heaven, honour for all eternity
Understand that those who seek the world cannot find Me but those who look for Me I will meet and reveal Myself to …. Whoever surrenders to Me shall possess Me, and whoever prays for My grace is in My grace, because to truly understand My Word is My love’s gift of grace …. So prepare yourself to receive My gift as a sign of My love. Take care of your soul, My child, acknowledge My love and make an effort to feel the purest love for Me in your heart because all impurity has to be removed from the heart in which I shall live, since I only find pleasure in pure love, in love which does not demand and only gives itself …. which is willing to do everything in order to serve …. Pure love is as precious as a jewel, it brightens its environment with its light, it brings happiness and just wants to give at all times …. When this love has taken possession of your heart you will accept Me in yourself and keep My image in your heart, and this will be a supreme blessing for you even while you are still living on earth. Whatever is destined for you while My love takes care of you has yet to be hidden from you because you achieve the degree of maturity only by constantly striving for My love. It is to your advantage to call upon Me and My presence from the bottom of your heart …. when you commit yourself to your Saviour in earnest prayer …. I will appear …. unexpectedly …. and move into the abode that your love prepares for Me and bring blissful happiness to those who believe in Me and love Me …. I will not let My children, who give themselves to Me, live in want and will reveal Myself to them at the right time ….
Amen

Last Supper ….
B.D. 0764 from January 29th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
The motto of your life should be ‘To serve the Lord in all things will be my constant endeavour ….’ and His blessing will be with you wherever you go. Now hear what is intended for you from the Father: The most holy sacrament of the alter was given by God, but its meaning will have to be understood wisely. You are now surrounded by a protective shield of spiritual friends who will keep everything that is wrong and misguided at bay, so that people may receive clarification through you about a question which has become a frequent matter of dispute. Over a period of time people’s correct thinking had been infiltrated by an entirely wrong point of view which caused further conflicts and divided opinions. Without first having asked for consent from the divine Lord and Saviour a directive was issued which is contradicts the divine teaching.
The living portrayal of the Holy Communion is always the acceptance of God’s Word in one’s heart …. Whoso eats My flesh …. i.e. who receives My Word with a hungry heart …. and drinks My blood …. i.e. who receives the truth with My Word and lives by My Word entirely truthfully …. he receives Me. And My Words ‘This is My flesh …. this is My blood ….’ should be understood in this sense: Just as the human being needs bread for the well-being of his body, so the pure Word of God is needed for the preservation of eternal life …. And just as wine will give strength to the weak, so shall the truth from God strengthen the soul, providing it accepts it. And when it is said that the bread and wine are transformed into My flesh and blood then the correct understanding of this should be that My Word will bring Me Myself close to the person at the same time, if it is complied with …. i.e. if it is eaten and drunk, and that, therefore, the human being accepts Me Myself with My Word, because My Word teaches love, and I Myself Am love ….
He who loves Me will sincerely accept Me in his heart and thus will be filled at My table by My bread and My wine …. by the Word of truth and life. The meaning was in fact understood correctly. However, it was decided to ceremonially intensify the impression of My Words but then greater significance was given to the ceremony, so anyone not complying with it was declared to have lost all blessing. And thus the formality was observed first, but the deeper meaning became lost, Communion increasingly became a formality, divine truth could no longer enter into people’s hearts. In contrast, the ceremony has been preserved to this day, and the human being believes to have fulfilled his obligation sufficiently by approaching the Lord’s altar with faith ….
But how can I take abode in a human being who has not changed himself to love first, who will not comply with My Word and keep My commandments? Anyone who wants to receive Me physically and spiritually and carry Me in his heart has to eat My bread and drink My wine …. he has to desire the bread of life as nourishment, which comes from heaven, and he has to drink the wine, the living truth, which flows to him who is thirsty. Only then will he eat My flesh and drink My blood and he will live eternally, because then he is in Me and I Am in him ….
Only in this and no other way should the Communion be understood which I inaugurated with the said Words, but which you humans have interpreted at your own discretion without recognising the deeper meaning of My Words. The more eagerly you try to observe only the ceremony and the more often you merely externally receive My bread and My wine, the less I will be present Myself, and thus you will not receive Me Myself but you will only be close to Me in your imagination. Because I Am only present where profound love for Me expresses itself by fulfilling My commandments and living in accordance with My Word …. For he eats My flesh and drinks My blood who complies with My will and serves Me …. who bears witness to Me before the word, he will truly be My disciple with whom I will take communion and whom I will fill, to whom I will give his share …. he will be nourished by Me and receive the bread from heaven in all eternity ….
Amen

Love …. Hate ….
B.D. 0765 from January 31th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Behold, My child, I come to meet with open arms those of you who want to accept My gifts. Your heart’s yearning will convey My love to you, My love for you demonstrates itself in your desire for Me, and this will also be your state in the beyond, you will constantly long for Me, and My love will grant you fulfilment without end. Behold, I placed love into your heart so that one day you should delight in beatitude when your love will be fulfilled. But I also placed the opposite impulse into you because you can only attain a state of beatitude by overcoming this impulse, and thus your endeavour on earth should especially apply to the fight against hate, the feeling of intense animosity, for hate poisons your soul in a very destructive manner …. hate destroys everything that is created by love ….
A person with a feeling of hate in his heart will never ever be able to achieve perfection, for hate is part of evil after all …. Hate is so disastrous and so unspeakably depressing for the soul …. it is the worst evil …. it is the enemy of every good attitude …. it is a vice which quells everything good and noble …. it is the origin of sin …. A heart having succumbed to hatred is incapable of any noble feeling …. Where hatred rules no virtue can be exercised. Humility, gentleness, forgiveness and mercy …. these are completely alien concepts to a heart controlled by hate; for the person has no knowledge of love at all, and this is necessary, after all, if he wants to live in a virtuous, good and God-pleasing way.
The appalling effects of hate can be recognised by the person in the beyond …. how it has distorted the soul of someone who was under the influence of hate in his earthly life. If only people would consider that the opposing power gains complete control over a hating earthly child so that it will find it ever more difficult to withdraw from this power and its influence, that it will also find it ever more difficult to find its way back to love again, and that such a person cannot be rescued by any other side unless he genuinely strives to liberate himself from the power of evil. As long as he does not withdraw from this influence with the firm intention to apply love it will be extremely difficult to become free. It is certainly understandable that the human being is often virtually pushed into a feeling of hate when he looks at and reviews other people’s heartlessness and observes their injustice and apparently successful conduct, but he always has to remember that there is a God in heaven Who will repay every iniquity in due course …. He also has to counter this with the fact that Jesus Christ even lovingly forgave those who were to blame for His death, and that a feeling of revenge at no time got the upper hand in Him, but full of love, He only ever responded to the earthly children’s conduct with understanding and compassion. Love should, after all, defeat hate, and therefore the children on earth likewise have to make an effort to stifle the feeling of hate when it begins to arise in the human being …. and only ever repay it with love even if the temptation to feel most bitter hatred against the oppressors of people is too strong. Most people err since they deem themselves extremely superior and believe that they have to express their power over their subordinates in a very blatant way, yet the individual should not respond with hate, instead he should resolve to educate the other person with love.
He should first consider his own soul which should be protected from the danger of hate, its struggle is at times so dreadfully difficult, yet overcoming this most detrimental attribute for the soul will lead to perfection, for then love will have triumphed over the opponent …. Hate will have been rendered harmless and destroyed by the strength of love, and the soul will be grateful for such effort since it will have been released from bitter anguish ….

Care and cult of the body …. anticipating nature …. ageing ….
B.D. 0766 from February 1st 1939, taken from Book No. 16
If life on earth becomes difficult for you, take refuge in Me …. I want to be your strength and comfort in difficult times, and whoever walks with Me will overcome all difficulties. But let it be said to you that you must also be active yourselves if you want Me to bless you.
Nature demands its law and so you must submit to the laws of nature, but you must also practice self-conquest where possible. And life will often present you with the decision as to whether you want to be at the will of the body or the soul. And the body will demand many things and you will want to grant them to it, yet the soul’s benefit is only slight if the body is granted fulfilment, whereas the soul will gain immensely if the body renounces what is granted to it. The greatest danger of all is that the body is granted the right to rule …. that only its comfort is always taken into account and man’s concern is constantly to care for it, and a perpetual cult around it is cause to neglect the actual work on the soul, and (it = ed.) this is certainly conducive to the preservation of the body, but never to the shaping of the soul, and the former is extremely unimportant in relation to the actual earthly task, which must be seriously considered where concern for the physical well-being is predominant. So never let yourselves be tempted to want to anticipate nature by trying to change or stop what must take its natural course. Test your power …. it will be inadequate compared to the existing laws of nature …. yet where the body takes the path of decay, there the soul shall mature and become ever more perfect, which is why the former must pass away to the same extent as the soul endeavours to live spiritually. The soul has to overcome a greater obstacle, as it were, in an outwardly well-educated body, since all inclination to the world is inherent in it and greater demands are made on the soul in overcoming itself through frequent stimuli from the world. Anyone who despises his body but carefully looks after his soul with spiritual care will have made good use of his time on earth and he will also feel purely outwardly well since this does not appear to him to be the only thing worth striving for and he will therefore be provided with everything he needs to live. For I consider My children on earth as it serves them …. I give where they gladly renounce and deny where they are overly desirous of earthly goods, because I do not want the body alone to be considered but the soul should first be rescued from its misery ….
Amen

Word of God ….
B.D. 0767 from February 3rd 1939, taken from Book No. 16
So accept the words of the lord and take them to heart. The soul has to fight an unrivalled battle if it wants to enter the state of Godlikeness, and the temptations to pull it down into the darkness of the spirit are great. But there is also every possibility to free yourselves from the impending dangers if only you heed the lord’s words. The earth hovers, as it were, in the midst of all hostile violence. Everything that the earth harbours is seized by it, and only constant resistance can bring about the release from this violence. Just as desires lure and pull man from below, so the word of God is given to you from above, which, if obeyed, has far greater power and lifts you out of the depths and darkness. Countless struggling souls need God’s help and again do not seize the only means which brings them real help. Likewise, countless beings in the beyond are only supported by the word of God, and they, too, are offered it through God’s love. Accordingly, just as people on earth are attuned to the word of God, so will their fate be in the beyond. What they reject here will not appear much more acceptable to them there, and it will take a long time until they have become receptive to the word of God. And they will regret the time when they have recognized …. the time on earth and in the beyond which they lost in blindness of spirit for their soul. Every concession with a willing heart to the beings teaching them bears rich fruit, both on earth and on the other side …. The word of God will be taught time and again, and humanity will never be left without this precious gift from heaven, for without the outpouring of divine love no salvation for the soul would truly be possible. Everything spiritual must be spiritually strengthened …. the soul cannot be satisfied by earthly food, and thus the right nourishment for the soul must come from above. If now the lord, in ever constant love, ensures that none of His children shall go hungry …. when He knows what these children lack, then the earthly child only needs to turn its will to Him …. he only needs to give his consent and willingly receive what the father lovingly offers him. Instead, people refuse and do not want to receive. They put up a blatant defence against what they alone need …. They live into the day and do not consider their end. However, there is only one path left for them in the adversity of their heart, and if they take it, they will still be helped in the last hour. And therefore it is only the will of the human being himself who allows difficult times to befall him and the earth. If all admonitions from above do not find their way into the hearts of men, then they must be roused from their rest in some other way. People try to awaken their spirit through scientific work, they believe that they can enlighten everything that is dark to them in this way, and yet they are far from it. For the deity and Its working can never be fathomed by earthly wisdom, many areas are left to science to which its research may apply, but the final question is unfathomable to it …. and will remain unfathomable to it. On the other hand, the acceptance of the word of God with the heart is the only gateway through which man can reach eternal truth and divine wisdom. But without the word of God every entrance to knowledge is closed. Let the human being consider that he can receive unlimitedly, that he can enrich his knowledge immeasurably and that he only needs deep faith and active love for this …. and that he in turn can only attain faith through the word of God and that love is also rooted in living faith …. that one is therefore inconceivable without the other and that a person’s heart must willingly open itself in order to become knowledgeable …. To hear the living word of God is a proof of divine love and mercy …. it is an act of grace of incomprehensible proportions, yet people pay no attention to the proof of grace and fall ever deeper into the judgement from which they are supposed to redeem themselves. The lord speaks to people, and He will speak at all times …. Those who hear Him will be blessed, but woe to those who do not heed Him …. who consider themselves too exalted to accept and heed the words of love. They will truly have to go through great hardship so that they, too, will come to realization while they are still on earth, for they do not appreciate the value of life and will suffer great torment if they recognize their inadequate state of soul in the beyond. And therefore pay attention to the words which come to you from above and do not reject them ….
Amen

(Continuation of No. 0767) Spiritual blindness …. labourious work of the spiritual beings ….
B.D. 0768 from February 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
In the night of the spirit all realization is excluded, the ignorant continue to resist, they do not desire the light but believe they do not need it, for in their delusion they only have a sense for that which is in strict opposition to true realization …. they are convinced that they can manage without spiritual knowledge, they rather perceive all spiritual problems as a burden which they want to avoid by keeping away from everything that could impair their previous thinking. As a result, these people experience a spiritual emptiness. Their earthly life occupies them completely and they walk through God’s creation as if blind, nowhere hearing the voice of the lord or paying attention to it. The more this state prevails, the more alarming the consequences. In unspeakably arduous labour, the spiritual forces now struggle for the souls languishing in such darkness. Their work is visible and invisible. They bring together those who instruct each other, they guide the thoughts and are pleased when their influence is heeded and the human being willingly allows himself to be guided …. when he carries out what his heart drives him to do, when he yields to the spiritual impulse within himself without resistance and spiritually distances himself from the earthly world for a short time. This is so extraordinarily arduous because it often takes a long time before the earthly child heeds the spiritual call to separate itself from the purely material. The resistance is sometimes so strong that the influence of the spiritual forces is unsuccessful and the erring soul continues to be in severe distress, which the human being as such does not recognize and therefore does not remedy the soul’s agonizing state. And so time after time passes, and where there is no possibility to change a person’s mind, the spiritual beings help themselves in community …. They try to disrupt all earthly joy …. In their distress they resort to a means that is seemingly unloving and yet only testifies to the great love of the spiritual beings for earthly creatures …. They let bitter drops flow into every joy …. they cause, so to speak, that even earthly joys are not a complete fulfilment of earthly desires …. and thus lay the foundation for inner dissatisfaction, which increases more and more the more resistance the earth child puts up to the work of the spirit friends. In connection with this all joy of life will appear stale and empty, the soul will restlessly wander to and fro, it will search where it finds complete fulfilment, it will recognize earthly pleasures as transient and only then pay attention to spiritual questions, and when after long arduous work the friends on the other side can record this success, its joy is indescribable, for only now is the soul saved and receptive to everything that comes to it from above.
But now the spirit is able to spread significant light, and there will be brightness where before there was deepest darkness, and spiritual blindness will give way to the clearest realization. Precisely where one believes to be in the deepest knowledge, a procedure is often necessary to transform a person’s thinking. The few who recognize correctly are often unable to convey their spiritual knowledge to them; they encounter contradiction and their gift, although gladly offered, is not accepted. The heavenly truth is not properly recognized …. the thoroughly spiritual attitude, which is a prerequisite for recognizing divine wisdom, is not taken into account. The gifts from above only penetrate a person’s heart as such if the spiritual desire for them is a prerequisite. Whoever immerses himself in his innermost being and at the same time makes the flight into infinity, whoever seeks to fathom the eternal deity and in doing so deeply humbly surrenders to It, whoever recognizes a purpose in earthly life other than just the fulfilment of earthly destiny, whoever views every event on earth only from a spiritual point of view, his heart is receptive to divine gifts …. He will soon separate everything earthly from the spiritual …. he will recognize two worlds, but always the one as a means to an end …. to mature for the second, the spiritual world. Love should certainly permeate everything, it should determine all actions in earthly life, it should work without ceasing so that the spirit will come alive through love, so that the human being will become free through love …. But love should always give, but love of possession should never prevail. But true love will at the same time be a renunciation and therefore a separation from matter; and spiritual striving will never again be for earthly goals but only for the union with God as eternal love …. Therefore do not seek the last goal in a state of perfection on earth. Earth is and remains for humanity what it always was …. the abode where the soul is to mature through resistance for its actual destiny, where it is to recognize that only in the spiritual kingdom is its true home, towards which it is to strive without ceasing ….
Amen

Reshaped word …. degree of comfort …. realization of the truth ….
B.D. 0769 from February 6th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
So know that you are all of the same spirit, know that the father’s hand is guiding you and that the father is inclined towards everyone who desires to hear Him. There will therefore also be many different revelations, all of which are intended to express the same thing and lead to the same goal. Even if the father considers the children on earth differently, the same will can nevertheless be recognized, for He only ever gives the pure truth if the recipient desires the truth and proves himself worthy of the revelation. It is like a glow of different light intensity …. The gifts from above can be offered in an easily understandable form and yet cannot be properly recognized if the recipient reproduces the lord’s words in a different form. There are so many examples of people pleasing themselves by speaking in the most complicated way possible and thus reproducing a spiritual image received in all simplicity and clarity in an ornate form …. People try to adorn themselves with erudition and bring out all their wisdom, when the word received from above expresses everything precisely and needs no improvement. If people reject the teachings that seem incomprehensible to them, this is only too understandable …. Man often perceives the additional work of man and resists it, whereas the pure word of God often finds its way into the initially reluctant human heart through its simple nature, because the power of God is also inherent in this word. The teachings have always been offered in the same truth, but the truth should have an even more insistent effect on people and was provided with human accessories for this purpose, which, however, only harms the matter itself, but can never be of use. Let me tell you: turn your attention to the plain, simple word, you must be able to grasp everything with your heart and mind, you must also feel at ease when the lord’s words resound in your ears …. You will also be able to deduce the truth of what you hear from the degree of comfort, for the lord wants to penetrate people’s hearts through His word, so He will never use a form which in itself already causes resistance and which appears unacceptable to the earthly child. Whoever desires truth will also recognize it, and indeed, truth will always be offered from above in such a form that the earthly child cannot take offence at it but can always touch it pleasantly. Pay attention to the voice in the heart, it will know exactly how to distinguish the true word of God from a subsequently transformed word which is difficult for man to understand and which is also supposed to come from the same source. God always protects those who want to remain in the truth and gives them knowledge in every dispute …. He sharpens their power of judgement and their sense of justice, and thus the earthly child will always find the right path if it finds itself in the situation of having to decide between several paths. For God’s protection is assured to everyone who desires Him and the truth ….
Amen

Life's misfortunes necessary ….
B.D. 0770 from February 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Not the slightest event is without influence on a person’s development. Just as you prove yourselves in the face of every event, success is also more or less beneficial. And so earthly life continues to be the touchstone on which you should test your resilience. Whatever fills you with indignation, annoyance or aversion you must try to change into gentleness and patience, you must always regard it as what it should be for you, as obstacles against which you are to mature …. Not that you can put these disagreements aside at will …. this would not be progress for your soul, only in overcoming all temptations, in perfecting yourselves, do you see the purpose of all adversities which make life difficult for you. You run the risk of taking a step backwards where you are not up to the trials. After all, every day is supposed to bring you advancement and so you must not oppose the trials imposed on you for this purpose but you must surrender to divine will, which allows such trials to come upon you to mature. For a life without struggle is also no possibility of progress for the soul. Only overcoming yourselves can bring you success, but a quiet, peaceful life only brings sluggishness of spirit and a weakened will. And this then harbours many dangers for the soul. The hard fate that is sometimes bestowed upon a person will only have a successful effect on the soul, for in struggling and overcoming the soul strengthens itself and is far more likely to release itself from its shackles; however, a being that is spared all difficulties is not equal to the battle against evil. Instead of being an overcomer itself, it is defeated by the opposing power and has to suffer unspeakably, and these sufferings are much more severe than the adversities of daily life. Only in constant struggle is the soul offered the opportunity to develop freely, and every struggle can be overcome if, when your strength fails, you confess your weakness to the divine lord and saviour and ask Him to take care of you …. He will not leave you without help, for His words are so sweet: “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden …. I will give you rest.” Why do you fear and hesitate, why do you feel weak, when the lord will always help you with His strength if you only ask Him. Leave all fear and anxiety behind and only look to the lord with trust …. He will never abandon those in need who trustingly turn to Him for help. And thus every oppressive or agonizing situation in life will resolve itself, just make sure that it does not have the opposite effect on you than its actual purpose should be …. that it does not make you act hardened and unloving …. make sure that you only ever let love speak within you, for only love alone will overcome and allow you to emerge successfully from such trials. Shape your heart in ever deeper love and thus also become a blessing to your environment, and through love you will become free from the pressure that weighs on you, and your soul will also become free if you overcome all difficulties in life by virtue of this love ….
Amen

After an announcement in trance ….
B.D. 0771 from February 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
The divine in you will know well how to distinguish truth from lies, and if you entrust yourselves to the lord, you will be in full power of judgement. Therefore, reject what does not seem credible to you and keep what speaks to your heart …. It is certainly not in the lord’s will that every immature spirit manifests itself, yet the human being’s will alone is the cause, the pure spirit, however, is fully aware of the truth and therefore gives the receiving earthly child a heightened power of judgement in order to protect it from accepting what is untrue. And so caution is always required and the brightest attention, combined with believing devotion to the divine saviour, and the human being recognizes most clearly where truth and falsehood have merged. The innermost stirrings of a human heart are too diverse and varied …. What moves a person very often resonates and sometimes makes itself felt at times of complete detachment from the earthly. It penetrates through spiritual experience and gains the upper hand precisely through the will of the human being, who receives such thoughts and now expresses them audibly. In such moments the spirits of lies then have power over the completely unresisting man and then express themselves, and the good spiritual powers then have to step back because the will of man does not stop the former but lets itself be taken possession of. The good forces, for their part, can only prevent the proclamations from finding their way into the listening human child, and they can protect it from accepting a wrong teaching, and if it is afflicted by doubts it is necessary to seriously scrutinize the content of the proclamations, which can only be successful through heartfelt prayer. But where the earthly child trustingly turns to the heavenly father Himself, he will be given the clearest information. And so let it be said to you that only God’s love ever determines God’s reign and activity, but that divine love never takes revenge or retribution …. And it is only in this realization that every event can be properly assessed …. No matter how much it may appear that God’s punishing hand intervenes …. love for His creatures is always the reason for intervening in ways that seem merciless to people …. Every event is always intended to bring about that the creatures, which have distanced themselves from God as the eternal love, find their way back to Him. Yet hatred, retribution or punishment in unkindness is never the motive of divine intervention, for He is an equally loving father to all His creatures and He tries to win all His children for eternity …. and if you understand this you will also know how to distinguish ….
Amen

Correct thinking …. God's guidance …. Stars ….
B.D. 0772 from February 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Someone who always practises love will soon reach that degree of perfection which enables him to always recognise what is right and to remain entirely within My will. Behold, my child, your every thought seeks what is right and effectively always remains in contact with the benevolent spiritual world, for this takes hold of everything that desires Me. For this reason, straying onto wrong paths and misunderstanding Me need not be feared. The best guarantee is always the heart’s longing for Me, I protect every child which directs its thoughts in willing love towards Me. I sharpen your mind, I guide your soul, I let the voice of your heart speak to you and if you pay heed to it you will do what is right at all times. And thus you merge your mental knowledge with the spirit of truth, for you recognise all proclamations by the fact that they will touch your heart benevolently. You cannot receive anything wrong once the will is exclusively focussed on the pure truth. I take you by your hand, and you can confidently entrust yourself to My guidance, I recognise your will …. and a heart which longs for Me will soon distinguish Me clearly …. And it is My spirit which seeks contact with Me, it is part of Me and therefore the spirit of truth. Let the infinite number of tiny stars in the sky testify to My power and glory …. And then ask yourself whether the Creator of such magnificence, Who maintains the orbit of all celestial bodies, would be not be able to guide a human child according to His will? …. And thus leave yourself confidently to My guidance and then watch which paths I let the children who love Me travel ….
Amen

Jakob Böhme lecture …. Answer?
B.D. 0773 from February 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Let your spirit arise and listen to the Words from above: It is incredibly foolish not to utilise the blessings of the Lord’s gifts and thus to seek in vain and to fumble about in the dark during this time on earth. After all, it is so extremely important to establish really heartfelt contact with the Lord and Saviour, but this cannot happen if people do not become tangibly and perceptively aware of the Lord’s proximity. It is now intended to make people understand that they should not seek the Lord in the distance, that they should not look for him so far away from their heart; instead, He will move increasingly closer to them the more tirelessly and sincerely they strive towards moving closer to Him. Every time has its symptoms …. so at the present time it is noteworthy that countless opportunities present themselves to people through which light can be brought to the darkened minds, and yet people’s train of thoughts is an entirely internal one …. that is, they certainly desire what is right but don’t seize it when it is offered to them, because it seems too easy to them and the human being is unable to believe that the Lord turns to His children at all times and with the same love. He who has ears to hear, let him hear …. But don’t desperately close yourselves in order to perceive sounds in the distance when a delightful sound arises close to you, when the cornucopia of divine love would like to shower you with an abundance of grace …. Grasp with your heart what you have already intellectually ascertained and do not worry that you might distance yourselves from the true knowledge. That which has so far remained hidden from you, which you do not experience first-hand as yet, will gain you life …. you will only be guided into the real truth if you surrender your opposition. For the Lord’s gift shall universally be understood and accepted so that you all will be enlightened and your activity will also be richly blessed. And the more sincerely you unite with the Lord the more alive you become …. only then will the spirit begin to flourish and look for new nourishment, and this will be offered to you in abundance, for it is the Lord’s will that His children shall long for Him in order to be able to lovingly take care of them. The Lord will advise you to immerse yourselves in His light and His grace …. you shall be allowed to draw from the eternal font …. you shall partake of the divine grace and in the midst of the world stand on the mount of realisation and feel comfortable in the divine Fatherly generosity. Whatever you desire, you will possess in abundance, spiritual realisation and inner experience …. nevertheless, that which today still slumbers in you lifelessly, must come alive …. The divine spirit wants to be liberated, yet you keep it gagged as long as you merely study rather than giving yourselves gladly and full of love to the Father in heaven as His Own. Listen to His voice which coaxes you and lovingly makes you understand how you can become His Own, and your struggle on earth will not be in vain ….
Amen

Spirit of God …. bearer of truth ….
B.D. 0774 from February 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Only the spirit of God awakened to life in the human being is able to gain insight into the infinite creation, and thus only that human being will be able to fathom the nature of all things who only ever allows this spirit of God to speak within himself and listens to the voice within him. The more intensively you observe creation, the more understandable it will become to you that you can only remain viable by receiving the power from God …. you must therefore accept the working of this power on and in all things as the epitome of what exists …. you must further conclude from this that thought is also spiritual power …. that man’s thinking will always concentrate on that which becomes alive in him through his will. If the spirit from God is now at work then it will also, understandably, direct the human being’s will towards that which is in divine order, i.e. willed by God …. and thus the human being’s thought life will naturally develop such that he cannot but be in the right realization of things.... he will know and feel that this power, the spirit from God, is nevertheless strong enough to eliminate all wrong thinking …. that errors are only possible where this spirit slumbers …. where every error is encouraged in the night of the spirit.
Light and truth are inseparable, just as night and lies are one. Consequently, the path of truth is taken by those who only seek the truth, for their will is already seized by spiritual strength, and this spiritual strength has the upper hand precisely through the will for truth. What you can see in creation is only purely outwardly visible to you, yet in order to be able to see the inner formation you must be well instructed by the spirit of God …. you have to believe it, because on earth it is not possible for you to see everything down to the finest detail, but the teachings of the divine spirit are unconditional truth. All creations in the universe are known to him, only to the outer man all these concepts are foreign, and therefore also the teachings about creation are received by men unbelievingly and reluctantly. Where now the will to stand in truth is not the cause for research …. where only scientific fame and the desire for recognition stimulate the spirit of research, there the spirit of lies is also given power and the human being can also be exposed to errors despite the most exact work and scientific endeavour. The thoughts of such a person are not only influenced by good spiritual power, but are also exposed to the effects of the opposing power. There is therefore no certain guarantee of unconditional truth for such research and, moreover, it is infinitely difficult to solve such problems which reach into the deepest secrets of creation, whereas the spirit of God awakened in a person provides him with the clearest answers even to seemingly unsolvable questions, for nothing is alien to him in the whole of creation …. And thus all spiritual revelations are of greater value, but without faith they will appear unacceptable to you until the spark of God is also ignited in you and the divine spirit introduces you to the secrets of creation ….
Amen

Way of the flesh …. (unfinished)
B.D. 0775 from February 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Whatever harbours life within itself has to take the path of all flesh. However, this state is limited in time, and an everlasting change of external form makes the duration of the embodiment on earth appear shorter to the being and this is well considered by the creator in loving wisdom. In every form the being tries to adapt itself to its environment and lets both the earthly as well as the spiritual destiny carry out a regulated activity, whereby then the respective purpose of stay in this form on earth is fulfilled. However, just as the divine creator intended the earth to be the abode of imperfect spiritual beings from the start, He also foresaw the countless possibilities which were offered to the beings through the work of creation, and therefore there is not the slightest thing in creation without spiritual life …. all matter, whether bound or in a free state, harbours spiritual substances within itself which have to undergo some kind of task and thus strive for a slow higher development through constant activity and this is more or less the final goal of every embodiment on earth.

The lord's work of grace …. His will ….
B.D. 0776 from February 14th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
Hear the words from above: Whoever is sent to carry the word of the lord, his ways are marked out. Where the lord’s love is revealed, there the human being will also stand in visible protection as long as he offers himself to the father in heaven for service, and so every event is only useful for the spreading of this revelation, even if it appears to be directed against it. The threads are incessantly drawn together until they form the finest fabric, and this applies both to the production of this work and to its dissemination. The influence of the spiritual forces in the beyond on human hearts does not remain unsuccessful, and the joint work of these with the children of earth is of such great importance for all spiritual maturing that the blessing will also make itself felt, even if not yet in the foreseeable future. The spiritual turnaround cannot be brought about in a few days, tremendous work has to be done, and the more willing the earth child is, the greater success can be expected. And thus countless souls on earth and in the beyond will recognize the lord’s work of grace, both people and the beings in the beyond will take care of its spreading, often unintentionally, for wherever the eternal deity places Its will before the emergence of a work, the creatures will also have to submit to the creator’s will and follow the paths He prescribes for them. All care is for His living creations, and wherever there is still a possibility to save a misguided soul the creator’s love and mercy is also active there and guides the beings such that they can gain the greatest possible spiritual advantage if only they are willing. But because now again also the powers hostile to God push themselves forward and likewise want to assert their influence, these also have to record apparent successes, but the power from above will rather prevail because it finds all-round support, because the spiritual struggle is tremendously great, and all high and highest beings place themselves in the service of the eternal divinity, driven by the love penetrating them to bring help to men on earth in most severe trouble. And therefore a fierce battle will break out between them and the powers of the underworld, but the power of love will triumph over that of hatred …. the power of truth will be stronger than that of lies, and the fighters of God will overcome the army of the adversary …. And blessed will be he who places himself in the service of the good spiritual forces …. who is active in the salvation of the soul from deepest distress ….

Father's words …. the word …. co-operation in the struggle for souls ….
B.D. 0777 from February 15th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
All those who love Me are blessed beyond words, My spirit dwells in their midst, for I know their hearts and also want to be recognized by them. And so the fruit of all spiritual work is My nearness, and you will be allowed to refresh yourselves, for I am with you in the word. And where My word is taught, there My spirit keeps you lively. Therefore, do not faint when the world wants to snatch you away from Me …. come to Me, your father, in all anxiety and seek help from Me …. but do not reject My word, for all blessing lies in the word and your strength is very small without it. What I reveal to you shall give you eternal life, it shall be the practicable path to your eternal home, you shall accept it as My will made known to you …. you shall, so to speak, draw everything from it …. comfort, strength and grace for your earthly existence …. You shall feel Me and My love for you, your tongues shall be loosed so that you sing praise and honour to the creator of heaven and earth. You will receive food and drink from Me, you will stand in the light and live in truth. And My will will guide you, and so you shall not stand in life fearing and trembling, for those who seek Me are never without protection. All gates will be opened to you, if only you try to enter into closest contact with Me. Anyone who desires enlightenment with a bright spirit has My full love, for his spirit longs for Me and I grant him everything that leads to him coming closer to Me. I awaken the longing in him in order to be able to fulfil him, I guide his path towards the right goal, towards his eternal home ….
Amen

Evidence of grace of an obvious kind …. bread of heaven ….
B.D. 0778 from February 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
It is a fervent endeavour for the souls who stray from the heavenly father. It is an unrivalled struggle to free these souls from the adversary’s hands, and time and again it remains a battle with the forces of darkness. It is therefore of infinite value if the forces in the beyond find support on earth through willing co-operation, for in this time of unbelief all available forces must offer themselves to the lord of heaven and earth in order to put a stop to the great distress of people’s souls. At the present time, endeavours aimed at the salvation of souls are doubly beneficial, for only love for one another can redeem people and bring them closer to their true destiny. Without the lord’s grace all struggles on earth would be unsuccessful and therefore He considers you humans in an extraordinary way. He wants to make your path easier, He wants to strengthen your faith and bring Himself so tangibly close to you that you recognize Him and joyfully devote yourselves to the work on your soul. If you let your heart speak with the sole intention of surrendering yourselves to the divine will, you will soon recognize how it begins to dawn within you, you will take the yoke upon yourselves without grumbling and complaining because it is the path to purification for you …. nor will you ever rebel against what the father imposes on you, for His grace helps you to bear it and to recognize the blessing of everything the father sends. And if you are now offered an obvious proof of grace, then just gratefully lift your eyes up to Him, Who leans towards His children full of infinite fatherly love, and remain conscious of this love …. In order not to let you become weak, He gives you the bread of heaven and thereby wants to make the heaviness of earth easier for you to bear …. He wants you to refresh yourselves and draw strength from His word …. and if you accept this from His hand you belong to the chosen ones, for you will now surely find the path to Him. You will not be able to go astray if the father Himself guides you, and you will be relieved of all worries about your soul’s salvation if you only follow His word. The power of the word is unnameable, receive it hungrily and thirstily into your hearts, for what the father sends to His children in love must make you infinitely happy ….
Amen

Light of truth …. clear characteristic …. word of God ….
B.D. 0779 from February 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
To stand in the light of truth means the greatest gift of grace for the earthly child, and yet it is only dependent on its will that the lord reveals Himself to it. If it willingly allows itself to be used as a receptacle for divine wisdom then contact has already been established from earth to the beyond and the path to truth has been travelled. And yet people shy away from it, and without any justification. The lord God knows very well what earthly people need for their salvation …. He sees them falling into great error …. He sees them suffering from false concepts …. they deny an afterlife, and an end of existence with bodily death is far more probable to them. Must not the lord now intervene with evidence where man’s faith has come to an end? Does He not have to let obvious voices from the beyond speak in order to let this faith arise anew? And you humans do not understand the lord’s extraordinary work and doubt it. The lord’s ways are marvellous …. yet you will never be able to fully understand His working. Nor will you ever be able to measure the depth of His love, and if He now informs people out of this love, tries to draw them to Himself through His words …. if He admonishes and warns those who are in default, comforts and refreshes the suffering, strengthens and fortifies the weak, and this through His word which comes from above …. why do you not want to recognize this word? After all, He gives nothing other than He has always given from the beginning of the world …. the ever constant truth …. to the children on earth who strive to fulfil His will and who devote themselves to Him in order to serve Him in all love and faithfulness. It is so powerful and yet again so understandable …. it is His infinite love that chooses this path …. “To those who love Me with all their heart, I will reveal Myself ….” Do you want to deny the lord of heaven and earth that He fulfils His promises? He only ever wants to give you, but not take away the slightest thing, and if you recognize this gift from above correctly, you will be able to penetrate the word of God ever more easily …. everything will be made accessible to you, you will stand and live in profound faith, for your portion will be food and drink provided by the will of the lord through His servants in heaven and on earth. And you will always recognize the origin of the power that flows from this word. For what is from God lets you revive and find the truth with a bright spirit. What His love offers you must awaken love in you again …. your hearts must beat faster and ignite in ardent love for the divine saviour and redeemer. And therefore realize that everything that triggers love in your hearts emanates from eternal love …. that everything that points and leads to the saviour as the source of love also has its origin in His spirit of love. For the longing for the saviour is already His work of love in you, and if the word awakens the longing for Him, then this word has also sprung from the divine saviour. Therefore do not hesitate to accept it as it is offered to you by the caring father’s hand, it is given to people on earth who are of good will, for the spiritual hardship on earth is great and can only be remedied through the mercy and tireless love of the heavenly father ….
Amen

Meaning of life …. faith and love ….
B.D. 0780 from February 18th 1939, taken from Book No. 16
He who endeavours to fulfil God’s will has fully grasped the meaning of life. He who recognizes himself as the creature of the father in heaven also knows that the father has given him a task for his earthly existence; he knows that he must do everything that the father’s wisdom has decided, and he will now naturally subordinate himself to the divine will and strive to fulfil every commandment of the father. If he now places the fulfilment of the divine commandments in the foreground then he has also fully grasped the meaning of life and his earthly life will truly not be without success for eternity. Now the degree of love for the father will also always determine the seriousness of the striving for perfection; he will gladly and joyfully fulfil all commandments who is absorbed in love for God, and thus such an earthly child will also be seized by the father’s hand and be drawn upwards by His love. Faith is therefore also rooted in the realization of his destiny on earth …. Man must first believe in a creator, in His love, wisdom and omnipotence and recognize himself as His product, then he will also grasp the meaning of life and, since he believes, also strive to live completely in accordance with the meaning. And so the natural consequence of this realization is that he will always view his whole life, his actions and thoughts in the light of this realization and make every effort to do what is God’s will. For he recognizes himself as the child of the father in heaven, and if pure love for God underlies all of a person’s actions, an intimate relationship is established with the father …. it is reborn to new life …. to spiritual life in the midst of the material environment. It now seeks and finds its saviour and redeemer everywhere, it frees itself from the power of evil by virtue of its love for the saviour, and so earthly life with its earthly activity is only the unimportant, self-fulfilling accompanying life of the actual existence. Man will strive with all his will for the greatest possible perfection …. for the most zealous observance of the divine commandments; and his zeal will already be blessed on earth in that the father will provide abundantly for His child, first and foremost spiritually …. but also does not allow it to starve earthly, as far as it is useful for the salvation of the soul. And so only those people are able to grasp the meaning of life correctly for whom earthly needs appear trivial and unimportant …. who are able to willingly and gladly separate themselves from matter and for whom the divine saviour is the epitome of all longing for love. For only the intimate relationship, the surrender to the saviour, will make the true meaning of life comprehensible to man …. Without the one, it will not be possible to grasp the other …. only those who always keep the goal of eternal life in mind will be able to truly fulfil their purpose on this earth. Anyone who is too much gripped and dominated by matter will still turn his love towards many things before it is solely and exclusively directed towards the divine saviour. And until then, striving for the top …., being absorbed in His will and fulfilling His commandments will remain an empty concept to people, for only love for Christ makes all of this comprehensible to us. Therefore, the earthly child always gives itself to the father in heaven …. it commits itself to Him with its full will if it has correctly recognized the meaning of earthly life, which is based on faith and love for Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world ….
Amen
