Imperishable good …. prayer for the deceased …. power of love ….
B.D. 0944 from June 3rd 1939, taken from Book No. 18
All earthly wealth is to be replaced, but what was neglected to be acquired is irretrievably lost for eternity. The lord has given the earthly children time and leisure to acquire these goods, since they are of inestimable value for the actual life in the beyond. The human being’s will alone determines whether they are desired and acquired or not, and a person who only cares for life on earth does not pay attention to the grant of grace which could increase his heavenly wealth …. He is constantly only active for the sake of earthly advantage and will therefore one day stand empty in front of the gate to eternity. And this is of such grave importance. For even if his life on earth has passed in prosperity and without worries …. he cannot take anything of his earthly wealth with him but is now dependent on what is offered to him in love by other souls in extreme poverty. And now it will be decided and have an effect what good deeds he has accomplished on earth. He will reap the reward for these or have to live a desolate life in the beyond completely naked and empty. The soul will then be in extreme hardship if no help is offered to it anywhere, and everything unpleasant and difficult, which it knew how to avoid on earth, will now pursue it until it has recognized the error of its views of life on earth itself and now has the will to create a different life, a different state for itself. For again the soul’s will alone is decisive, and it can also bring about a change of situation over there in the beyond. It is therefore infinitely valuable when the soul has left love ones behind on earth who remember it with love …. For love’s strength is the only help, that can be offered to it, and therefore you should always make an effort to cultivate love …. Only it can bring salvation, and when a loving heart prays for a deceased from the bottom of ist heart it will send imperishable possessions to him in the beyond, and this signifies relief and help for the soul which is still struggling for knowledge. The body has certainly been taken into account on earth, but the soul has been thought of too little or not at all. But now the soul has to bear the consequences of the wrong life on earth, and often in the most bitter way …. But those who soon recognize their error are to be called fortunate, for although they still have to struggle unspeakably this will nevertheless be successful, for every soul will receive help if its striving for light is recognizable ….
Amen

Collision of Earth and Sun …. Researchers …. The Earth’s core ….
B.D. 0945 from June 3rd 1939, taken from Book No. 18
It will be scientifically proven that, as a result of the Earth’s advance towards the Sun, the continued existence of the Earth will be questionable after a certain time. And this evidence will remain unchallenged, because evidence to the contrary cannot be provided by anyone on earth who does not possess a clear knowledge about the course of all events through spiritual contact. However, a person who would like to convey this knowledge he receives through spiritual messages to the world will flatly be labelled abnormal, and although science will once again make a point of clarifying such symptoms, the human race will remain in the dark as long as it does not grant credence to such proclamations. On the one hand, the calculations of academics are not guaranteed, but on the other hand they do not take the time span into consideration, which they aspire to determine …. They do not avail themselves of the truth-revealing source of knowledge and since God, as the Creator of all things, has imposed limits which the human being cannot exceed without divine help, but which is consciously rejected, he can therefore never know the truth, since God will not arbitrarily revoke the order of His Creation. Nevertheless, despite this He will always and forever inform people of the further development and advancement of the works of creation, but precisely these proclamations are not regarded as truth, whereas the scientific reports and calculations are meant to be authoritative and will therefore also be acknowledged as irrefutable. And so scientists are totally convinced that nothing extraordinary can come upon the Earth before their calculated point in time has come …. indeed, as a result of this it is even believed that experiments can be conducted and that the Sun and its effect can be utilized on that basis, thereby reducing the Sun’s strength and alleviating the collision of the Earth with the Sun accordingly. All these purely earthly experiments and results are absurd, for they are more likely to confuse human thinking than lead to clear realisation. God’s creations repeatedly provide the evidence that no human being can ever contribute towards their emergence and that the human being was only granted the transformation of the Earth’s surface, everything else is brought about by God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence and the human being cannot contribute in the slightest to changing the law which has existed for all eternity. And thus this supposed disaster will never occur as people imagined, instead, the core of the Earth will suddenly and unexpectedly start to rotate and wreck all calculations by the scientists …. For this was not planned in the worldly researchers’ latest calculations and scientific results, nevertheless, it was determined in the wise plan of the eternal Deity from the very beginning.

Purity of heart …. happiness of union …. weakness of faith ….
B.D. 0946 from June 4th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
In the purity of the heart the human being is able to feel the presence of the lord, for it is the first condition for specialization and thus the occurrence of the divine spirit of love. Man cannot yet grasp the difference between a being walking with or without the lord in it. For the former is still a foreign concept to him as long as he does not experience it in himself. Yet the union of the spirit of God with the divine spiritual spark in the human being is so extremely intoxicating and therefore also indescribable that everyone would strive to experience this happiness. But this cannot be achieved in any other way than through profound faith and a God-pleasing way of life which consists of utmost love towards his neighbour and is thus rooted in love for God. He who is pure of heart lives, so to speak, according to divine will and thus draws divinity itself to himself. However, purity of heart is also necessary in order to receive God as the purest, most honourable being in it …. clear and blameless must be the way of life of the one whom the divine saviour appreciates in His presence …. love must adorn the heart for the most splendid stay for the lord …. and His all-encompassing love will outshine everything, and unification will now be able to take place …. When the need approaches the human being and he threatens to become wavering, a barrier is always set again which prevents the divine saviour from entering the heart, for faith is weak …. and only a strong, rock-solid faith opens the door of the heart. The incomprehensible happiness would be unbearable with weak faith, it would make the human being completely unsuitable for earthly fulfilment of duty, but strong faith, on the other hand, would enable the human being to be extraordinarily active on earth, and thus it will be understandable to you that your weakness of faith is still an obstacle and that you have to struggle in prayer so that you will first master your doubts in order to be able to enjoy the great happiness while still on earth. A heart cleansed of all dross will, as it were, also banish all doubts and thus await the lord with complete faith, and through this profound faith it will consciously be able to bring about unification in the shortest time, but the doubter will still be denied the highest happiness on earth until he has convinced himself to have the strongest faith ….
Amen

Hour of decision …. warning to remain faithful to the saviour ….
B.D. 0947 from June 4th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
In the time of harvest the hour has come for you humans when you have to decide whether you want to deny Jesus Christ or acknowledge him as the son of the most high …. and this question, which is addressed to your heart, will cause you many an anxious hour until you make your choice …. Listen to the voice of the heart then and listen to it, for then I seriously warn everyone not to allow themselves to be determined for the sake of external advantage …. I admonish the weak-willed that they should hold out and prove their loyalty to Me …. I am close to everyone with My love and let them feel this love, and I will also make an obvious appearance at a suitable point that the defaulting and lukewarm should pay attention and reflect on their responsibility towards the soul. And I still want to wrest the timid souls from the adversary, I want to give them strength that they recognize Me as their God and creator …. their saviour and redeemer …. and that they remain loyal to Me with full will. And so everyone will also feel the blessing who calls on Me in prayer, because I don’t close My ears to any voice which reaches Me in this adversity. Only the one who hands Me over without any misgivings will be without My grace, for he despises what I want to give him and is therefore completely in the enemy’s clutches. Then the time is no longer far away which is conjured up by humanity’s faithlessness …. The crowd of Mine will be a very small one, and that is why I have to call out with a loud voice to persuade the apostates to turn back. I will not leave one of the children of earth unwarned, I will not leave one of them to his fate …. and must therefore be strict where My love is not respected …. where My courtship is unsuccessful …. And that time will be bitter for all unbelievers. Because they have no protection and support. They are defencelessly at the mercy of the corrupter, and help can only come to them if they turn away from the world and take refuge in Me. If no-one can help them then they will grasp at straws in order to cling to them, and if they still call upon Me in such adversity I will hear their prayer and grant them My blessings in abundance so that they will grow stronger and turn ever more intimately to Me. This time is near and all signs already precede it which shall draw your attention to the fact that My word will be fulfilled in its time …. It shall spur you, who want to serve Me, to utmost activity so that support is granted to those who recognize …. they will not become weak in the time of need ….
Amen

Necessity of natural disasters …. God's will turned into form ….
B.D. 0948 from June 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
It is of utmost importance to recognize how the creator’s will is determinative for the entire work of creation. There is nothing in the world that could oppose this will, and all works of creation are the will of God that has become form. Thus no individual work of creation can arbitrarily separate itself and continue to exist according to other than divine law. As soon as God would like to withdraw His will from it, it would have ceased to exist; for only the will of God continuously animates everything that exists. It is this will, which has become form, that remains inviolable for all eternity. Even the destruction of any creations, but which, to put it better, only means an external change of form, is equally divine will, because without this will it would not be possible for any being to bring about the slightest change of form, let alone to destroy entire works of creation. Hence God’s will must always be active here too, and since nothing in the lord’s working can be arbitrary or haphazard but predetermined again in all wisdom for the best of the countless living beings, every disaster must also be taken into account and accepted as necessary for humanity. For countless beings need an apparent work of destruction in order to have the opportunity for higher development, and in a certain sense such processes are also beneficial for humanity, for only through them do many people find the right relationship with God and recognize the transitoriness of the body and earthly goods …. He recognizes that as a human being he is completely incapable of resisting these catastrophes and must therefore also acknowledge the will of a supreme being again …. And it will now be more understandable to him that the being on earth must always submit to divine will in order to remain as it were, in divine order …. This realization is decisive for the human being’s earthly life. Only when he recognizes a higher power as such and endeavours to live according to its will is he able to comprehend divinity and the entire work of creation. For since the human being, as the only being, was left with the freedom of his will, he cannot indeed oppose divine will but he can oppose it by rejecting it, and it is this will of rejection which signifies the separation from the eternal deity, and the earth being’s distance from God can only be reduced when its will completely subordinates itself to divine will. However, if the human being does not even want to acknowledge a higher will of a deity which directs and determines him and the whole of creation, events must of necessity provide him with the evidence, and thus natural disasters are a certain necessity again for the spiritual well-being of the whole of humanity, if only it derives the benefit from them and recognizes the rule and activity of the eternal deity in all events and now consciously establishes the right relationship with the creator ….

Need for natural disasters …. fighter of God
B.D. 0949 from June 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
My dear child, the time has come when you shall work for Me on earth. An immense event is about to take place and there is no possibility whatsoever for the earthly human being to escape this event or to leave it unnoticed. Even the most obdurate and faithless person will be greatly shaken in his previous opinion, for he will experience unprecedented things …. And the cry of despair of people in the midst of this experience will reach all ears …. They will pray for salvation but I cannot hear their prayer, yet thousands upon thousands shall visibly recognize My reign and turn to faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer of humanity. And so I want My faithful to unite in silence, to stand like a wall in the midst of the apostate world and stand up for My name in order to point to My greater than great love and mercy …. I therefore also choose My fighters Myself, and I want them to stand by Me in all loyalty and devotion. A completely new law shall determine people to exclude Me from their life of feeling …. What a foolish beginning …. Where mankind wants to destroy My fighters or render them harmless, there I Myself stand and fill the gaps, and I consequently separate everything useless in such difficult times, I also leave none of My fighters without protection …. But how I come, you shall not be told, but I come unexpectedly and in every disguise …. Whoever has Me in him will recognize Me, and I will also make Myself known to him. And so I want to think about you with all My strength and give you the following to think about: (interruption)

Prediction of world-shaking event …. mission of the servants of God ….
B.D. 0950 from June 6th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The mission from heaven concerns a mission which is closely connected with your earthly task and which, in order to be executable, is to be presented to you. Behold, it concerns the awakening of innumerable souls from spiritual night. If salvation is to be brought to all of them, faith must first arise in them or the existing weak faith must be strengthened. And this in itself is in every respect a task which can only be accomplished with utmost energy, for in the foreseeable future it is precisely faith which will be completely defeated, since worldliness is increasingly gaining the upper hand. Thus extremely willing fighters for My word are needed who will only ever fulfil what is proclaimed to them as My will from above. In a very short time I want to shake people’s souls out of their sleep …. I want give them reason to think about to be or not to be, about the earth, life and its transience. And then it will be necessary to inform them of the divine word, to nourish their spirit and thus to refresh and comfort them through the source of all knowledge, for their state will then be a sorrowful one and they will need feasting and refreshment. This event will still be preceded by signs which will be noticeable all over the world, and a search will already begin where there is still a weak faith. And during this time the path you have to take will be clearly shown to you, My servants on earth, and then I will demand all your commitment that you demonstrate love for Me and don’t oppose My will …. I want to make you easily and clearly hear My call, I want to give you instructions and I want to steel your courage so that you will not be timid in your ministry. The recent events on the high seas are already the prelude to what has been destined since eternity ….
Remember the poor in prayer, and observe to what extent such events will now repeat themselves, no matter what kind. For if, on the one hand, the eternal deity is thought of less and less, on the other hand such events must increase which are intended to remove people’s spiritual delusion and shake their rigid mind. For humanity does not yet grasp the seriousness of the situation and must therefore obviously be made aware of the passing away of the body and of earthly life. And when this hour has come, remember My words and be ready to work for Me. You will never stand alone, spiritual strength will always support you where it is necessary to support Me and My word, you will always feel this strength and will not lack courage. You will always be guided to where you should confess Me, you will follow the voice of your heart if you remain in love for Me, and this voice will always and everywhere be your guide, for if you want to be active in My will then everything you undertake, speak and think will also carry My will within it, for it is then I Myself who work in and through you …. And you will be blessed with great strength in order to be able to confirm your words, and anyone who uses this strength in My name will be a blessing to humanity and many will rediscover faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God ….
Amen

Life is a struggle …. father words …. doubt ….
B.D. 0951 from June 7th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
In order to constantly find the connection with the divine lord and saviour, it is enough to become absorbed in calling upon His name, and every other thought will disappear from the heart. To walk the path to eternal life certainly requires self-conquest and therefore also great love for the lord …. (7.6.1939) Life is a struggle and those who are strong will emerge victorious from this struggle. However, no one can do this on his own, he must constantly beg God’s help …. he must constantly long for grace from above, but then he will be able to resist all temptations and be strong and invincible …. The spiritual wall you erect for yourselves through too weak faith is a difficult obstacle to overcome …. Every doubt piles up anew, and the light finds it difficult to penetrate through this self-made wall. The stones must be tirelessly removed so that the obstacle will be removed, and this only happens through heartfelt prayer to the heavenly father …. Because prayer proves faith and must now be opposed to doubt or weak faith, only in this way can man strengthen himself in such a way that it is easy for him to remove the obstacle. Only the will must not weaken and the connection with the father must remain established, and thus the father sends His word to you today to strengthen your faith:
Blessed are those who long for Me …. The hour will come when My nearness will bring them clarity. Hearing the living word silences all doubts, and in the night of unbelief a star always shines which points to the light. Therefore grasp what I say to you: I desire you, for you were Mine from eternity …. I send you My messengers to fetch you home into the father’s house, and I give you food and drink so that the path will not be too burdensome for you …. And My love is your constant companion …. Therefore walk steadfastly on the path that leads towards Me. I await you and stand by you in all hardships, but you must never look back or become fickle. Only ever look forward, towards the light, and if your soul is blinded and the path seems dark to you, then only stretch out your hands longingly so that I may take hold of them and guide you through the darkness again onto the sunny path which only ever leads to Me. Behold, I stand at the end of the path …. covered it of your own accord, so that you are close to Me, then you have overcome …. But the clouds which still shadow your path from time to time you form for yourself, you do not see Me behind those clouds, which are only the doubting thoughts in your heart. Chase them away, for they must obey your will …. and radiant brightness will shine for you again and lead you towards Me. And remember My everlasting care for My children …. I leave none in need of soul and yet know about their worries at all times. Therefore do not be afraid and seek Me, and I will let Myself be found by you ….
Amen

Different living conditions no obstacle to the development of the soul ….
B.D. 0952 from June 7th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
People’s ways of life are so diverse and yet can lead to the same result, and thus it is erroneous to assume that the soul’s life can only develop in certain circumstances, whereas it must remain completely uninfluenced where the human being’s situation in life is less beneficial to the soul. This view is extremely erroneous, after all, all people must have the same opportunity to reach the state of perfection, and the eternal deity can never want to favour or degrade a being, for this would never be compatible with divine love and justice. People’s living conditions may seem to be favourable or unfavourable, and this gives rise to wrong conclusions, but the individual person’s lot is always assigned to him in such a way that it can contribute to his higher development to the highest degree, if only he makes extensive use of it himself, and this alone is decisive. The human being is certainly often forced by extraordinary circumstances to move in a certain direction of thought, i.e. he will have to solve tasks in the worldly sphere which fill him mentally, so that he will occupy himself little or not at all with spiritual problems, yet no human being on earth is exclusively only earthly active …. There is still time for one to deal with oneself and give heed to spiritual questions, if only the will is there. And the job, the situation in life, time or place of his earthly existence is never in any way a hinderance to shaping his inner life according to divine will …. The human being’s will is always the sole factor to be taken into account …. The will overcomes all external circumstances that threaten to hinder the soul’s life. And again, it is the desire for the world which can be considered the greatest obstacle to the soul’s higher development …. And this desire can be nourished in seemingly good as well as in bad life situations, but it can also be fought. All resistances exist in order to be overcome, and it is therefore irrelevant whether the human being has to fight a hard battle in life due to poor circumstances and in return has fewer worldly temptations or whether he has to fight out even harder battle against the world in a life of well-being …. the inner life is always and in every situation completely separate from the life of the body. Thoughts are conveyed to the human being in so many ways by the spiritual beings who look after him that it is only a matter of grasping and utilizing them. And this is never dependent on the human being’s situation in life and his destiny …. because according to the wise plan of the creator, this is assigned to every human being in such a way that it guarantees the highest possible perfection and thus earthly life need only be used correctly, i.e. according to divine will, in order to lead to complete success. Thus the objection that a profession or fate makes it easier to find the way to realization is totally wrong …. Only the will alone is decisive that the human being pays attention to his inner life and is therefore active of his own accord for the salvation of his soul ….
Amen

Freedom of the spirit …. dream …. spiritual realm …. matter ….
B.D. 0953 from June 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The spirit of man is familiar as such in all creation and can therefore run unhindered through the universe, no space and no time is set as a limit for it, it is able to take up residence everywhere at any time and can therefore also remove itself from its outer shell in a dream, since it does not require a period of time to return to the body. The spirit is out of God and therefore present everywhere at the same time, and therefore the human being can certainly be bound to time and space, however, the spirit in him is free …. that all knowledge can be imparted to the human being through this spirit, it is only up to his will to hear. And the human being cannot believe himself in amazement at a process which lies entirely in the essence of the matter. The earthly shell is only a temporary, foreign realm …. but the spirit is eternally at home in the kingdom of the spiritual. Therefore, even during the time on earth, since there is no limit to its movement, it has to stay there mostly …. and it must also be its aim to describe the actual homeland to the human being, who is its cover on earth, as thoroughly as possible …. The slightest will of the human being is enough for the spirit to push itself forward, for the flight up into spiritual spheres is most welcome to it if only once it was able to break through the human being’s spiritual darkness and this very will has released …. However, if the spirit is still completely in bondage, if it is enclosed in the human shell and must remain there until the human being, i.e., whose will itself has become active, it will understandably always keep his thoughts on earth, he will never attempt the ascent upwards with his thoughts and consequently cannot have any other knowledge apart from his earthly worldly wisdom. The purpose of life on earth is and remains the awakening of the divine spirit within himself, the liberation of it from the bonds of darkness, which is therefore matter …. for only the human being who begins to overcome matter simultaneously loosens the fetters of the spirit. And only then can the spirit accomplish the unimagined …. For only now can it unfold, the spiritual kingdom is open to it, and now it can also let the human being gain insight into it …. It can, so to speak, bring the spiritual kingdom close to the human being, increase the longing for it, so that the human being’s will only applies to the attainment of spiritual glory …. What is revealed to man in dreams is often a pictorial representation of spiritual life; and also in cases where warnings are to be sent to people, they are direct indications of something happening. But the spirit will always want to express itself to the human being, it will always want to transfer something from the spiritual kingdom into the human being’s consciousness in order to influence his thoughts to turn more towards the spiritual. It is so extremely important to cherish precisely such thoughts and to pay attention to them, yet the human being in his sober thinking is all too happy to reject all such thoughts which could cause him to digress from his earthly activity …. He prefers to pursue what is unimportant and ignores the most important things in life and accordingly chokes on the spiritual spark dormant in him until he recognizes matter as completely worthless and strives upwards of his own will …. i.e. until the spirit in him is then given freedom to rise into the realm of the spiritual at any time …. Then he will be able to draw again and again, because spiritual truth can reach him unlimitedly through the spirit of God that has become active within himself ….
Amen

"Watch and pray …." temptations ….
B.D. 0954 from June 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation …. You should always remember these words because you are in constant danger that your soul will be damaged through spiritual lukewarmness …. Always being alert protects you from sudden attacks by the adversary, he will always find you prepared for battle if you pray, and it will not be easy for him to attack you. For all evil in the world comes from him …. He seeks to sow the evil seeds into the hearts of men, he puts all desire into them, and where man is not careful and forgets to pray, there the adversary will find good ground, i.e. attention will only be paid too readily to what stimulates human senses …. and so such people will always succumb to the temptations because they lack the strength to defend themselves against the attacks of the enemy. And yet such great assistance is available to you, you may only want it and the lord assures you of His help …. Watch and pray …. Recognize with a clear spirit how you can escape all temptations if you turn your heart towards the divine saviour and call upon Him for help. Just don’t rely on the earthly help offered to you, don’t try to find a substitute for the pure divine teaching there. And pray there again so that the lord will bless you and your work on earth, but also consider how valuable it is to be spiritually awake and how every day should therefore be used to increase spiritual wealth …. consider that precisely people’s indifference has brought about such immense misery …. and the adversary has an easy game if he is not seriously resisted. And therefore his greatest endeavour is to put people in a state of fatigue …. if the human being’s will now gives way, then very soon everything divine in the human being will no longer be able to assert himself, and the end will be his complete apostasy from God and a constant decline in spiritual knowledge. And thus always follow our advice not to put yourself in such danger under any circumstances, whereas you have the best means in your hand to come closer to the father in heaven by only ever again commending yourself to the father in heaven in heartfelt prayer and gladly and joyfully submitting to His will. Then you will very soon master the danger that lies in wait for you and through prayer you will also be fully strengthened in the fight against the power that is hostile to God. A person can very well avoid all hostilities if only he recognizes them as such …. The more alert you are to all events around you, the sooner you will be able to avoid them and the temptations will not approach you like this …. Therefore watch and pray …. And the lord will reward your zeal and not let you be harmed in body and soul ….
Amen

"Become like children …." the right relationship with the father ….
B.D. 0955 from June 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
“Become like children,” says the lord, “so that you may be of the same mind with your father-spirit and give Him the love and honour due to Him.” Thus John first heard the voice within himself, because in childlike love for the lord he prayed thus: “You, My great love …. my heart rejoices when I am near You, and it follows You wherever You go …. This is true life, I feel it and give Myself entirely to You …. I want to be Your child always and forever, for My heart desires You with all My senses, with all My strength ….” And so you too should pray to the divine lord and saviour; you shall offer your heart to Him childlike and humbly …. you should love Him warmly and dearly and express this love by walking according to His will in love for Him and your neighbour …. You are to change yourselves completely to love and therefore become one with Him, Who is eternal love Himself. From eternity the father only has His children’s well-being in mind, and if you recognize this you must love Him and become true children of your father. And if you are like a child, you are also fully faithful, fully trusting and only take refuge with your concerns and every worry to Him Who, as your father, takes you to His heart in all love and delivers you from suffering and worries. Your prayer should be childlike and humble …. not fearful and doubtful, but in prayer alone you should express your relationship with the father …. Everything the father has He wants to give to His children, thus the child may also ask for it and faithfully hope for the fulfilment of its requests, and the more intimate the childlike relationship is established, the more lovingly the father takes care of His child …. He carefully leads it by the hand so that it will not fall or bump into a stone …. He guards it from the dangers of the world and does not let it go offside or stray. Because it comes to the father in the deepest faith and will therefore also be thought of with His love for all eternity ….
The beings in the beyond endeavour to inform you of everything that is worth knowing for you, and they want to let you know in as comprehensible a way as possible what you need to know in order to be able to work successfully on earth. It is extraordinarily advantageous for you if you repeatedly live through what you have received in spirit, if you can often read and ponder the scriptures …. the only possibility to impart new knowledge to you, for first your head and heart must be filled with what is offered to you, only then can the knowledge of things be made accessible to you which are otherwise hidden from you humans. And thus you shall also receive another announcement today which touches the relationship with the heavenly father. Everything that seems difficult or unbearable to you on earth, trustingly place it on the heart …. His child must not want to go any path alone on earth, it must not believe that it could overcome the inconveniences of life allone …. and it must not become hesitant about the success of his earthly or spiritual work. It must always take the path to the father and know that it will always find help there at any time. And the father in heaven wants it to always ask for His help in all things, for this alone characterizes the child’s right relationship with the father. All fear and doubt must be banished from the heart because the father has promised His children His help …. “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I want to refresh you ….” Does not all comfort and all assurance of divine help lie in these words? …. And yet the earthly child wants to be weak in faith and not entrust its suffering and worries to the lord. And therefore it has to be pointed out so often until fullest faith makes the still existing wall of separation between the father and His child waver …. The path to the father is free for every earthly child if it does not block this path itself through its own guilt. The intimacy of prayer is the strongest of all means of grace …. for through it the child achieves everything with the father ….
Amen

Extraordinary proof of grace …. arrogance of the researchers ….
B.D. 0956 from June 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Wonderful, but the ways of the lord are often incomprehensible for you people …. And so hear His comforting words today: You all still don’t understand the meaning of His extraordinary proof of grace. When the lord speaks to you, it is not only for the purpose of instructing an individual, but this individual is only the recipient of what is addressed to the whole of humanity. The world rejects divine intervention in earthly events, and it must now obviously be proven to it that a power is at work here which was previously inexplicable or unknown to it. And this work always remains such proof for every outsider who allows himself to be examined. God’s love now goes so far as to make people suspicious who, in their self-assurance, claim that the research of science alone is authoritative and that through it a dissolution or destruction of everything connected with the earth has been perfectly established. Precisely such researches confuse the human mind more than is beneficial to it, and thus arises the necessity of first making this group of scholars harmless. And thus it is now also understandable that both spiritual friends as well as the spiritually striving human being will only have to fight ever more against the arrogance …. All of these must be transformed right into the deepest innermost part, and for this purpose the human being will first have to completely shut himself off from the external world, because only then will he be able to understand the rule and activity of the eternal deity. But those who are not so attached to the world on the one hand, but on the other hand value their earthly knowledge too highly, the father in heaven wants to bring their erroneous view to their attention, and this can only happen through the obvious presentation of world events, the occurrence of which the world is no longer able to believe in …. (interruption).

Eruptions …. Work of Creation …. Researchers ….
B.D. 0957 from June 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Hence it is impossible to avert an event which was predetermined from the start and once again only for the purpose of returning countless fallen souls. The innermost structure of the Earth is constantly influenced by the activity of spiritual forces, and so an eruption will occur when it is permitted by the divine Creator, and this permission, in turn, depends on people’s own will …. If humanity’s state of soul is in grave danger due its own fault, a disaster is intended precisely in order to save it; hence people’s will is ultimately the cause of the total destruction or of rescuing the soul from profound adversity. However, that which God decided in His profound wisdom from the very start has been concealed from the world but was proclaimed to those who live in Him and according to His order, as the Lord has always chosen those who, time and again, were supposed to proclaim His will to people. Nevertheless, this knowledge cannot be verified and is therefore rarely accepted as truth. But now worldly researchers also insist on entering a region which is inaccessible to them. They believe themselves capable of ascertaining the divine Creator’s plan, i.e., by way of all sorts of calculations they try to determine the effects of natural laws; they even insist that they can numerically determine the date of the alleged end of the world and thereby effectively intend to subject the divine will to their calculations …. The human being is so small compared to the work of Creation and yet deems himself to know so much about things which are completely out of his reach as long as he does not try to attain them by spiritual means …. . He fails to recognise the only right path but, on the other hand, is very quickly willing to believe what is scientifically presented to him. The greatest intellect truly does not suffice to ascertain the truth, yet the profound faith of an uneducated person can penetrate the mysteries of Creation and reveal irrefutable knowledge. Therefore, you should always pay attention to what worldly researchers present to people as far as these investigations touch upon God’s work of Creation, for this region is inaccessible to them as long as they don’t endeavour to gain an insight by spiritual means …. For God Himself offers the eternal truth to His children on earth now and at all times.
Amen

Light state …. creation work …. creation ….
B.D. 0958 from June 11th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
God’s creation is infinite …. And it testifies to His omnipotence, His wisdom and His will to love. The closer the being is to the eternal deity, the more audibly the creator’s greatness and majesty is expressed to its senses. But to be united with God in the state of maturity as a being of light means at the same time the comprehension of all miracles of creation, it means an uninterrupted experiencing and enlivening of the whole of creation and thus the most blissful state of being completely acting in the same will of the supreme being of God and partaking of all delights of eternity. This state is incomprehensible for the human being on earth, and again it is of utmost importance to strive for this state because the earthly time was granted to the eternal being as a trial period so that it can put itself into a state of maturity and be spared an incredible struggle in the beyond. For once it has attained realization in the beyond, its only aim is to reach …. However, in earthly life its full will is enough to reach it, which requires extreme struggle in the beyond. The being’s state of light is the fulfilment of all longing, it is the epitome of all love. God’s work of creation is sublime and based on His greater than great love …. And it would be called presumptuous to want to deny a creator of all this. However, the creator can only be recognized by the human being if He is imagined in all sublimity, for a being which is imaginable to the human being and easy to comprehend would truly be even less conceivable as creator of the entire universe. He Who let such come into being by virtue of His omnipotence, wisdom and love, as long as He is not in the state of light, must remain inconceivable to the human being and above everything and can therefore only be spiritually grasped and acknowledged in blind faith, yet the credibility is visibly proven to the human being through miracles of creation of the most diverse kind, and it is far greater folly to reject a creator of eternity than to blindly acknowledge Him when the human being looks with open eyes and heart at everything that lives around him and constantly informs him of God’s love, omnipotence and wisdom ….
Amen

Controversy for the sake of the name of Jesus …. flight from God …. earthly power ….
B.D. 0959 from June 11th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
It concerns a little that a spirit arises on earth and you shall be subject to it …. yet this spirit is not sent by God, for it will fight against everything that is of God …. he will fight against the divine teaching, he will also destroy what divinity tried to bring to people until now. Furthermore, he will plunge those who remain faithful to the old teaching into adversity and tribulation, and he will unfold an extraordinary power and cunning to destroy what does not adhere to him. And this is announced to you so that you know when the time has come, because when the adversary will unfold his power, the army of God’s fighters is also well equipped, and the lord himself will lead them into battle, and now a battle will be fought through the fiery sword of the mouth for the name of Jesus, and this is the beginning of the spiritual kingdom on earth. Countless fighters will fall for the glory of God, but no one will be able to kill their soul, and every soul that willingly gives up its body for Jesus Christ as the son of God and divine redeemer saves other souls from eternal death. The lord will not take any of these fighters to Himself from earth until he has fulfilled his mission, but then eternal glory is assured to him. Anyone who faithfully offers himself to the lord for service at this time will have unspeakable strength, he will not need to be afraid of worldly power, for this is unable to do anything against the power of God, which is also inherent in God’s fighter who completely submits himself to the lord’s will. Anyone who fearlessly confronts earthly power by calling upon the divine lord and saviour will remain untouched and no enemy will be able to harm him, for he has the lord Himself at his side as commander and protector. Again and again mankind is admonished not to betray the divine lord when the hour of decision has come. Many will indeed abandon their faith for the sake of earthly advantage, they will be defectors into the enemy camp, the lord will not be able to forcibly bring them back, and they will have to bear the consequences of their flight from God themselves …. but whoever is not frightened by the earthly fate which his loyalty to the lord earns him, his reward in eternity will be incomparably blissful. He will patiently accept his fate on earth for the lord and for the glorification of His name and in return be worthy of the proximity of his saviour in eternity. But those who betray the lord banish themselves forever from the presence of the lord, and their lot will be weeping and gnashing of teeth ….
Amen

Spiritual sun …. heavenly gardeners …. word of God ….
B.D. 0960 from June 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The sun of the spirit has risen, and its rays kindle in the heart the right love for God. And wisdom shines and illuminates the dawning morning …. And what slumbers there is awakened by the light shine. All life unfolds, and the will to activity becomes active. And what was dead revives …. and awakens to life in the sun’s warming rays. And all this is brought about by the word of God, which, like the radiant sun, gives life and strength to the soul and can have a tremendous fruitful effect on the human heart. But this also requires a gardener who, in wise knowledge, exposes his plants to the rays of the sun in such a way that they can flourish and develop. And the lord works in the same way …. He protects the tender plants from the scorching embers …. He does not let starving child on earth take an immediate look into the spiritual kingdom, which could harm him. And yet He does not let it starve and does not deprive it of the beneficial effects of the sun’s rays …. He constantly gives the child on earth spiritual nourishment and thus ensures his prosperity and further development. A little plant that has to starve for light and warmth or rain and dew will wither and soon wither faintly …. Likewise, without nourishment from above, without the divine word, an earthly child cannot develop to its fullest bloom, it constantly needs the influx of spiritual strength, it needs the light of divine wisdom and the warmth of divine love and can only flourish if it receives this uninterruptedly. And the heavenly gardener tends His plants with heavenly love and patience. He lets the most wondrous creations arise in the universe and everything is subject to His will. And everything is enlivened by spiritual power. Thus God’s garden is entrusted to His creative will and is carefully tended and cared for. And the lord lets His sun shine on every little plant, and every little plant strives for the light …. Only the human being, as a creature of God standing in free will, sometimes eludes the beneficial effect of the light, the spiritual sun. As the most precious plant in God’s garden, it is given special love from its creator …. it is offered all the nourishment that is to promote its prosperity. But how often is the light of the spirit and the warmth of love not received …. The little plant eludes the beneficient effect of the spiritual sun of its own accord and starves and perishes completely, where it was offered this in all fullness and all strength. The sun with its light and warmth is indispensable for the flourishing of everything that lives on earth, and likewise the word of God as the spiritual sun is the first condition for life one day in eternity ….
Amen

Temporary desire influence of evil power ….
B.D. 0961 from June 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
When the thoughts rise upwards, the heart is willing and consciously seeks the connection with the lord. And His grace and love comes to meet it, and the soul’s hardship is alleviated. The earthly child will be forgiven for any lack of love if it repentantly recognizes it and suffers from it itself. But it will also have to make an effort to make up for what it has missed with double zeal, and this will require all its will. But the soul now recognizes the true purpose of life and finds no real peace if it once followed it less. And a complete separation from the eternal deity is no longer possible for it, even if matter still temporarily has an overpowering effect on the human being so that he cannot refrain from desire …. This is only temporary, because it no longer completely satisfies the earth child, but this desire is only the effect of evil forces, it is the adversary’s attempt to turn away …. But the divine lord and savior does not let anyone who longs for Him fall so easily, and the enjoyment of the world will only too soon be a state, empty pleasure for those whose heart already belongs to Him …. The life of the individual takes its toll, as it were, and the human being will only become master of his desires by using all his will …. But one day he will also feel grateful that his father’s love has often disturbed his complete enjoyment, because this is only for the soul’s blessing And thus everything earthly will lose value, and temptations will become increasingly weaker and approach the earthly child less frequently, for the lord promises His help and His strength to all who ask Him for it from the bottom of their heart and prove their love to Him by letting their will become active in order to resist all temptations ….

Mental activity …. Heart …. Brain ….
B.D. 0962 from June 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Unite in faith and pay attention to My Words, for the spirit in you will noticeably express My will. And if you live up to My will your life will irrevocably lead to the goal. The thought is spiritual strength, it propagates and is therefore the best evidence that it is not something dead, that it lives and invigorates and is in constant contact with the person’s mental activity. Regular nourishment through spiritual strength is essentially the human being’s mental activity. The human being is capable of receiving this flow of strength and effectively diverting it to the heart which, as a receiving station for spiritual strength, makes constant use of the nourishment and, thus utilised, returns it to the brain-centre where it, in a manner of speaking, activates the human being’s mechanism …. This process is still entirely incomprehensible to the human being, since up to now he is advocating the mistaken opinion that only the brain carries out its organic activity and that the rest of the body is not involved at first until the will moves into action and then the body implements the mental activity …. but that, in fact, the heart is the receiving station and that an elimination first happens there as to how far the human being is willing to accept the spiritual strength, that is, the transfer of thoughts …. and this happens in a way that the body, and with it the brain as an organ, consents to either keep the received spiritual transfer as spiritual knowledge or merely senses it as a vague notion and instantly dismisses it again.
For this reason it happens so often that opposition makes itself felt when a particularly insightful and willingly receptive soul also wants to impart the information received in the heart to the brain …. The latter refuses to accept it completely, sends it back to the human heart, where it is received again with sadness, sent repeatedly up until the brain’s opposition wearies and subsequently acts as it should, since it is now determined by the strength of the spirit …. which grows increasingly stronger the more the brain’s opposition wanes. Mental activity can only be fully explained in this way …. and provides the answer to the question why the same wisdom, which people are made aware of in the same manner, will be completely differently received, i.e. believed. In fact, it is simply due to a person’s will to what extent he accepts and utilises the spiritual information received by the heart …. whether he therefore effectively offers resistance through the mere activity of the organs, which only utilise the spiritual strength so far as they need for their essential activity, thus for purely earthly thinking …. However, in order to solve spiritual problems the cooperation of the heart with the thinking organs is indispensable, because everything spiritual first takes the path to the heart until it is passed on, and then it will also have to be fully accepted by the organs, which are responsible for mental activity. And, once again, a heart living in love, will be incredibly richly endowed with spiritual strength and therefore the person, who shelters love within himself, will increase his spiritual knowledge and he will live in brightest realisation ….

The prophets' predictions …. The return of Christ ….
B.D. 0963 from June 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
In the Lord’s return to Earth the predictions of all prophets will come true. For it is written that humanity does not pay attention to His will …. but it is also written that a number of people will serve Him and that the Lord will come to these people and give them strength in times of adversity. That He will give the bread of heaven to His Own and take supper with those who love Him and keep His commandments. And that they will hear His voice, that He will therefore be with them during their life on earth and live in the midst of His Own on earth. People do not want to take these predictions literally and try to undermine the Words of the Lord. They themselves have changed the arrangement as well as the meaning of the Words and thus no longer grant full credence to these rearranged Words. And so you humans deem Him far away even though He is very close to you …. You no longer hear His voice and all your thoughts and feelings have turned away from the divine and consequently attach no value to the prophecies. Behold, if you yourselves are unaware of the fact that the Lord pleases you with His presence …. if you can’t believe that He so loves you and in this love takes the path to humanity again, then you will barely be able to grasp the infinite happiness of His return to earth either. You will only ever see the earthly life but pay no attention to spiritual currents which clearly reveal to you that the Lord is present among His Own. In a manner of speaking, He takes part in every event and His presence can easily be felt by those earthly children who, through their works of love, already carry Him in their hearts, for the prophesies’ meaning will suddenly become clear to them and they will realise how the Scriptures will come true, Word for Word ….

Last judgement …. divine justice ….
B.D. 0964 from June 14th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
You must think of the last judgment and try to imagine that God will judge you in all justice and repay you for your actions and thoughts on earth. Divine justice cannot absolve you, even if it is capable of infinite love, if you only bear the slightest guilt; every, even the smallest guilt must be followed by atonement wherever divine justice is to pronounce its judgement. And thus the day of judgment will also be a day of unspeakable remorse and bitterest suffering and dreadfully agonizing for all those who did not make use of their stay on earth in accordance with divine command, for they will never be able to escape the judgement. Anyone who tries to escape responsibility on earth will be inexorably called to account, and there will be no possibility left for him to cover up his deficient state, for all actions and omissions will be openly and clearly recorded in the book of life and thus will also have to be answered for. And divine justice cannot be lenient where every guilt of sin demands just punishment. And all bad and all good deeds will be weighed against each other, and the scales of the court will tilt to the side of the preponderance, and therefore the sentence will be passed in all justice, and good for him whose bad deeds do not have the preponderance …. good for him whose verdict does not mean: weighed and found wanting …. Those who commit themselves to God the lord on earth will have nothing to fear on judgment day, their every step on earth was pleasing to God, they always recognized the father in Him and therefore no longer need to fear the hour of judgment, for in the awareness of a correctly accomplished life there is no room for fear in the heart, and such an earthly child approaches the day of judgment without fear. On the other hand, it is unspeakably sad to see dear, close people having to answer for themselves and not being able to avert their fate for the time being, for divine justice demands of every human being that he takes upon himself his punishment and fate in the beyond, and this cannot be handed over to another spiritual being at will, since this does not correspond to the sense of justice and thus cannot ever be approved by the divine lord that a being should escape its deserved punishment and that a pure being would then have to go through the state of suffering instead of it. Thus the day of judgment will trigger happiness and bliss as well as the most bitter disgrace and suffering, yet eternal justice will not allow any being to suffer undeservedly or to be undeservedly happy …. The way of life on earth alone is always decisive as to whether the fate of the judged is bearable or unbearable, and everyone will seriously endeavour to make use of life in such a way that works of love and fulfilment of the commandments will have a particularly strong impact and thus the righteous judgment will not result in horror and despair. For the heavenly father is a just judge, and every good deed, but also every omission, will find its rightful retribution in the hereafter ….

Demons …. temptations …. love to matter ….
B.D. 0965 from June 15th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The demons lie in wait for every weak moment and seize the weak-willed soul to bring it down. The human being’s struggle is in vain until he commends himself to the father in heaven, and blessed is he who takes refuge in Him in such distress, for he truly needs divine help. The hostile power has unbelievable power over a weak human heart and often uses such means which require fierce resistance, which the human being in his weakness cannot muster on his own. Yet divine love is always ready for the earthly child if only you think of it …. The soul constantly seeks to defeat itself, yet earthly possessions tempt it with all their might and the adversary tempts the earthly child in every conceivable way, and yet the inclination towards matter is to be completely overcome …. all desire for it is to be discarded and only spiritual possession is to be striven for instead, and yet again and again the human being falls into the enemy’s hands if even the slightest love of possession makes him strive for it, for then his power is all the greater the more the human being allows himself to become a slave to his earthly possessions. And once he has recognized the weakness that causes man to fall, he will not cease with temptations of this kind. And again we want to call out to you: Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation …. Because the enemy tries to bring about the apostasy from God with cunning and he always uses the weakest moments in man’s life for this purpose and then has the strongest influence on the soul, which certainly recognizes the temptation as such in itself and yet a certain timidity drives it to comply with the desire of the enemy’s power and thus still clings to matter again instead of declaring war on it. And thus the slightest cause can lead to spiritual decline, and a pure heart can be defiled if God’s help is not claimed, but an earthly child desiring God’s help and thus living in light and grace will successfully face every challenge, for its request for deliverance from the adversary’s power will soon be granted and matter will appear ever more distant to it, and the inclination towards it will be completely overcome ….

Worldly activity …. spiritual striving and strength for it ….
B.D. 0966 from June 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
People’s obligations in this world require strenuous activity and it will be in everyone’s interest to devote themselves to this as exclusively as possible. And every distraction, which spiritual striving sometimes brings with it, is regarded as a hindrance to earthly activity and accordingly disliked by those who are outside the spiritual direction or those who see the first fulfilment of life in earthly activity. And now these people also demand from their fellow human beings complete absorption in earthly work, and they do not consider how unimportant and worthless the latter is if spiritual activity is not practiced at the same time and thus the earthly task is not properly solved. Both together will always be a blessing, and the lord will always give the person asking for it the necessary strength to do justice to his earthly activity if only he first thinks of the spiritual task and does justice to it, for the lord has set the perfection of the soul as the actual condition for earthly existence. He only granted the human being the grace of embodiment for this purpose, and thus this should also be fulfilled first, and then every guarantee is given for the fulfilment of earthly activity. Admittedly, the soul which has found the right path will now unwillingly want to take the path of matter, earthly work will seem useless to it and a certain unwillingness will become noticeable in the one who eagerly pursues spiritual striving, but then only heartfelt, fully trusting prayer will be necessary and this evil will soon be overcome. The soul will comply with the demands placed upon it and willingly fulfil its earthly task, yet giving its only love to the eternal deity, and with this in mind it will continue its earthly path from then on, yet to the benefit of all who are within the sphere of its activity of love. And times of complete submission to the will of God now follow …. And this is of such unspeakable value, for the person who follows the path of such an earth child with open eyes recognizes the lord’s gracious guidance. The spiritual work will have a far more beneficial effect, and the lord also gives His blessing in an earthly relationship where the true earthly task is thought of first. Therefore, don’t become of little faith if you believe your earthly activity is endangered …. The father in heaven guides everyone’s destiny with a loving hand, and spiritual strength is available to everyone in abundance if only he desires to use this strength and it is now also accessible to him without restriction. And He looks favourably upon His children who are only willing to serve Him …. He will bless them in this life as well as in the beyond and protect them from physical and spiritual decline ….
Amen

Concern of the spiritual friends …. efforts of the dark forces ….
B.D. 0967 from June 17th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Behold, My child, the soul will not find the right rest as long as it is unable to completely separate itself from the realm of earthly thoughts. And again and again the human being is held back from his spiritual flight upwards until he surrenders himself to Me without reservation. And therefore all resistance shall be broken, the world shall not be respected and only ever the desire for Me shall determine the human being to detach himself from earth. And thus hear few but salutary words which shall always support you if the separation from the world is difficult for you. An unparalleled battle is being waged for you …. The opposing powers seek to hold you to the earth by all means and to prevent you from continuing this work in every conceivable way. And likewise your spiritual friends are struggling for your soul, for your full will …. and their endeavour is so assiduous and persevering …. Now you yourself shall bring success to their endeavour by yielding to every, even the subtlest, impulse in you which is to the advantage of this work. Behold, with every new manifestation you fulfil the hopes of these friends in the beyond …. When using the power of the enemy, there is every danger that you will lose yourself and become careless or tired of work and unwilling to receive. Your friends’ constant worry is therefore justified, and I will once again urge you to hand yourselves over to Me and spare no effort or inconvenience when it comes to receiving the spiritual impartations. Behold, I give to you without limit and My love is always close to you, yet you must look for Me yourselves and always let your will become active, and I will bless you and provide you with My strength ….

Jesus' suffering on the cross …. earthly body ….
B.D. 0968 from June 17th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The suffering of Jesus on the cross is for many people an inexplicable process and not infrequently a reason to doubt the divinity of Jesus. The Lord suffered unspeakably on the cross, for it was the earthly body that took upon itself all the agonies of the death of the cross and endured immeasurable agonies of death. How could this be otherwise …. The spirit of God had to leave the human shell at the hour of death in order to complete the extent of the son of man’s suffering, and thus He did not feel the slightest relief at the hour of death, for the work of redemption for humanity could only be completed in such a way that a human being completely gave up His bodily shell in the most dreadful pain for humanity’s guilt of sin. A human being, Whose heart was full of love, took the most bitter death upon Himself. God was in all fullness in this human being, so that His activity on earth was divine activity, and all power over heaven and earth was due to Him …. And yet, He gave His miserable body to His enemies who wanted to destroy Him …. He made no use of His extraordinary strength, although one thought from Him would have been enough to destroy …. And His soul wrestled with itself in its agony and He spoke the words: “My God, why have You forsaken Me! ….” It was His soul that was still connected to the body and in deepest distress cried out for the father-spirit, which in turn had to escape from the human body if the work of redemption was to be accomplished. And He emptied the cup down to the last drop …. No human being can measure the magnitude of this sacrifice, for His soul was so blameless and pure …. It suffered unspeakably from the lovelessness of those who pinned Him to the cross, for His soul was pure love and therefore one with God, and yet this love was unable to hold back sinful mankind from ist projekt …. The divinity withdrew, and the human being in all anguish of soul, in all adversity and torment stayed behind and died the most painful death on the cross. What suffered on the cross was human shell, and it felt this shell such superhuman agony. And yet the work of redemption could not have been accomplished otherwise, for the love of a human being had to be so great that he sacrificed himself for the whole of humanity. And Jesus was the purest being of God …. Man was unsurpassable in His perfection, for He also concealed the deity fully and completely within Himself …. And this pure being gave Himself into the hands of sin, He handed His body over to the servants of darkness, and they did not shy away from touching the purest being and putting an end to His life. And in unspeakable pain Jesus spoke the words: “It is finished ….” and gave up …. i.e. the soul separated from the body, which suffered unspeakably out of love for humanity ….
Amen

Father words ….
B.D. 0969 from June 18th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak …. and thus you should approach Me for help when you are aware of your weakness and I will strengthen you and pull you up again and again when you are in danger of sinking. And I will constantly speak to you …. I will be with you in the word, and you shall listen and eagerly receive My word and draw strength and refreshment from it. Thus My word also reaches you today in the form of a proclamation which shall trigger a feeling of happiness in your heart and unite you ever more intimately with Me: Behold, My child, what comfort lies in the assurance which My love gives you that all suffering on earth will change into highest and purest joy in eternity. You must unconditionally accept what the father in heaven promises His children, and once you imagine that My love knows no bounds …. when you know yourselves to be seized by this infinite love, then all anxiety must leave you and you must go through life joyfully and light-heartedly. Thus I will give you a sign of My steadfast love and will touch you with My breath …. and you will tremble with happiness, and all doubts will have disappeared from your heart, but instead a deep feeling of love for Me will flare up and I will feed the flame in you until you yourself ask Me to turn off the clock of life …. I promise My children eternal life …. and those who believe in Me and love Me, are My children …. and I want to stir up love in your heart and strengthen your faith …. and thus give you the eternal life …. So your prayer can remove all obstacles, and your spirit can unite with the father spirit, and that is why My great love awakens you and leads you through the night to the light …. And I want to possess your heart, I alone want to reign in it, and your spirit shall rise into the sphere where it is able to see Me …. I want to stand in front of them with a radiant face and delight your heart, which is completely turned to love, with unspeakable bliss, because when you look at Me, you lose all consciousness of your being. You are one with Me and My love embraces you …. And earthly time is a tiny moment in eternity, and truly, the suffering can only be called small if you measure it by eternity and its delights, yet it seems monstrous to you as long as you don’t recognize Me and My love. Yet if you have complete trust in Me it will be explainable to you that My infinite love cannot let you perish after all and that I, precisely because I love you, am only ever concerned about your one-time life in eternity …. And thus just let Me rule and believe in Me …. I am a faithful shepherd to My sheep and will not lost any of them. Only the time is determined by yourselves if you offer Me resistance …. and you in turn offer Me resistance until you recognize My love. So let yourselves be loved and set your hearts free for Me so that I can take possession of them and you will already be blissfully happy on this earth and one day in eternity ….
Amen

Light state ….
B.D. 0970 from June 18th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
In a sphere flooded with light the being becomes aware of its divinity, for then it recognizes its state as god-like. And it feels the eternal father-spirit close to it. And this state is synonymous with eternal bliss, for the whole mystery of eternal glory lies in the union with the father. This state of light is, as it were, indispensable in order to be allowed to dwell near the lord, for only in such a state can the lord’s face be endured by a being which has thereby reduced or completely abolished the great distance between the father-spirit and the spirit spark emanating from Him. “Be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect ….“ This already proves to you the degree of perfection, that the being should strive to achieve the highest possible degree of maturity in order to be able to rightful claim to the childship of God …. And a true child of God will accomplish the same as the father …. It will be the faithful image of Him in everything, Who created it …. The child emerged from the father, thus it must be of the same spirit …. it must be in the image of God, have the same rights and the same duties, and must therefore also be in the same degree of happiness, for nothing is withheld from it, because fatherly love does not want to deny or take away anything from His true child that is at His own unlimited disposal. And thus the spirit from God will primarily be active, it will merge with the eternal father-spirit …. and seek activity in all fullness of love, because a spirit can never rest but has to be active all the time. This activity is also a feeling of happiness, an everlasting distribution of his love power and at the same time an increase of it, because everything he gives in love is returned to him in increased measure. And therefore all light and all power emerges from God’s love, and the light and the power shares itself with the being that is worthy of it …. and if the being receives, it must be the same, that is light and power in itself again, and it must be able to work like God, so create and create. And there must be love again like eternal love Itself …. And it has to see God face to face and therefore has to wallow in unspeakable bliss and serve divine love for all eternity ….
Amen

Way to the heights thorny …. God’s word strengthening ….
B.D. 0971 from June 19th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
It is a grace without measure for you humans if you are worthy of the divine word, for brightest light shines for you in the midst of darkest night, and you can finish the path of life without worry and need not fear being misguided in the darkness. God’s grace has always guided you humans as long as you have desired and used it, but how often has the path been thorny and impassable and you wanted to almost fail or take refuge on a more passable path …. but this does not lead upwards, but constantly downwards. And the way up must offer resistance of all kinds, it must be overcome and laboriously covered step by step if it is to lead you to the right aim. Yet God’s love knows about every obstacle and would like to make the earthly child’s path through earthly life easier, He would like to help it not to become despondent and discouraged, and thus He gives it refreshment and refreshment for its arduous path …. He does not leave the child uninvigorated but lovingly provides it with spiritual nourishment so that it will not pay attention to the discomfort of the path and easily and effortlessly overcome all obstacles in order to finally reach the father. And anyone who thus walks the path strengthened will never again long for the less arduous but equally dangerous path …. For at the end of the way he sees the form of the divine saviour Who lovingly looks towards him, and the desire for Him makes the earthly child always stride more sprightly …. it takes on the most difficult of obstacles with ease, because love for the divine saviour is the driving force, it is an incentive and strength at the same time. Yet without divine help the earthly child would grow weary in its struggle against all adversities of life. It would not be able to break through the thorns and the undergrowth on the way up and would soon lie weary on the path …. But the father in heaven has wisely thought of this weakness and taken care that it will be helped in the greatest need. And so He gives His word …. and through this strength and strengthening the earth child. And whoever receives it is in His grace …. He has countless blessings ready for His children on earth, and all of them are accessible to you through heartfelt prayer …. Yet His word is the epitome of the father’s gracious love …. for His word imparts immeasurable strength to the child …. Whoever has the word will never lack strength, only his faith must also be firm and unshakeable, for he is able to do anything with profound faith. Through the word he is taught to use the strength correctly …. yet if his faith is lacking or too weak he will not use this strength to the extent it is due to him. Therefore, first let faith become such strength that you no longer fear’s resistance …. and only then will you understand the might and power of the word …. If you hear the Lord’s voice, the influx of this strength is certain for you …. and if you receive such, then use them in the right way …. And share them …. share them with those who, like you, walk the arduous path over thorns and cliffs, so that, strengthened in spirit, they may continue on the path that leads upwards to the divine saviour …. Who longingly stretches out His hands to you and takes you home to your father’s house ….
Amen

Worldly rulers …. deep fall grace ….
B.D. 0972 from June 20th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The circle of otherworldly friends closes ever more closely around you and prevents the intrusion of dishonest beings, so that you will not feel their strength and be hindered in your striving. Thus the influx of spiritual strength will become ever stronger, and if it is your will you will now receive spiritual truths to an increased extent and can accordingly contact your friends at any time without having to fear a failure of spiritual strength. The eternal deity especially urges you not to become timid if you are threatened by earthly resistance. By only longing for the connection, spiritual strength promotes you, even if it is not always noticeable to your body. The spirit seeks God and every desire will be granted to it …. And you will receive mental strengthening at all times, and the spirit will have nourishment and will not need to live in want. But also visibly the strength will flow over you, and the spiritual good you receive will help you to survive the battle of life. For the lord gives strength and fortification to those who are in Him. You will only occasionally be troubled by oppositions, however, only to prevent you from becoming tired and lukewarm, for all devotion shall be directed towards this work, you shall again and again devote yourself to this spiritual work with true eagerness and thus also continue to be made happy by receiving the word of God. And from now on earthly events will be so precipitous, and this will be an ever greater incentive for you to seek contact with the spiritual world, for only spiritually will all earthly events be comprehensible to you humans …. Therefore receive a teaching today which shall point you to the sole power of the creator of heaven and earth:
At all times, the worldly rulers have asserted their power over their subjects. They arrogated to themselves the right that actually only belonged to the lord of creation …. by rising above their fellow human beings, enacting laws and as it were, making their subjects slaves …. They demanded and forced their fellow human beings to comply with their demands. And in the rarest of cases was actually love for one’s subjects the guiding principle of legislation. But if the earthly ruler uses his power in such a way that all love is eliminated and instead of love he is characterized by imperiousness, arrogance, greed for earthly goods and excessive injustice, such a ruler will never be able to find the approval of the divine creator, and such a rule will also never result in the blessing of a people. In such cases the lord has very often brought His divine power to bear …. He has often unexpectedly taken away the rulers’ office …. He has let them fall from the height of their self-created throne into the deepest depths …. And not without intention …. In order to show even such an unjust ruler the path to repentance. It was often an act of grace of the greatest magnitude that the divine creator let such an arrogant human being recognize his worthlessness and how little the human being as such can help himself when the eternal deity puts a stop to him and he is ultimately nothing more than a miserable human being at the mercy of someone who exalts himself above him. As long as he rules himself he does not think of his actual self …. he recognizes nothing higher than himself; however, once he becomes aware of his helpless situation he first thinks of a higher power and is then still given the opportunity to turn back …. And thus the fall from the height into the abyss is often an act of grace of indescribable value …. mean the last salvation for a sinner who has completely fallen away from God, provided he is not yet completely hardened and becomes aware of his worthlessness. His relentlessness and severity must reflect on himself, so that he recognizes his condemnable conduct and remembers the suffering of those whom his severity has condemned. If his own fate brings him to realization, it is a great blessing for him to end his earthly life in greatest hardship and misery, but to have brought salvation to his soul. But woe to him whom his power as ruler has so hardened that he does not want to bow to the most powerful of heaven and earth …. Power will one day be taken away from him, and accusers will rise up against him who suffered under his rule, and they will testify against him before the eternal judge, and his sentence will be eternal condemnation ….
Amen

Content of the sendings …. communion ….
B.D. 0973 from June 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Every transmission from above is prepared so that your heart only needs to pay attention and receive the words in an easily understandable way. Regulated instruction can only be carried out when the recipient easily detaches himself from earth in his will to serve God and thus allows thoughts from above free access …. The best means is intimate prayer to the father …. and the announcement will always correspond to prayer or the intimate connection with Him. And the earth child is therefore itself responsible for the content of these. His will and his desire and his relationship with God is decisive, and if the spirit is insatiable it is also able to constantly receive nourishment …. Everything it desires will be granted …. earthly child longing for the word of God will never need to starve, and conversely, spiritual nourishment can never be offered to a person who does not feel a profound desire for it or who indifferently intends to accept it. And thus it is also understandable that the recipient only ever has to long for spiritual gifts if they are to be given to him from above in highest perfection, and therefore they will also increase in profound wisdom with increased desire, and in every offering the bread of heaven will also truly be enjoyed …. for the lord can only approach the earthly child longing for Him and thus take supper with it …. And He will satisfy it and draw it to His heart with all love, since it wants to take part in the great act of grace of heavenly nourishment ….
Amen

Immortality …. Eternity …. Suicide ….
B.D. 0974a from June 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The question of immortality …. the concept of eternity …. cannot be solved by the human being because on one hand he cannot understand something that reaches beyond earthly concepts, but on the other hand he cannot be given a spiritual explanation which he could adequately understand either. Only on entering the regions of light can the being be given a partial explanation but even then it remains a problem which, like the eternal Deity, can never be completely solved and comprehended. This has to be said first in order to explain the following:
In times of great spiritual adversity people are inclined to believe that they can put an end to their lives at will, and thus an end to their existence, because they believe that they only exist for a limited period of time and hence feel entitled and qualified to shorten it. They simply lack understanding for immortality, for endlessness of time, for eternity …. That they will never cease to exist cannot be proven to them, but the thought of knowing that life will end one day is far more comforting to them …. And although from time to time the human being feels uneasy about the temporal ending he nevertheless rather accepts this thought than the thought of a continuation of life after death because he knows that everything on earth is temporary and therefore he cannot and will not believe in the immortality of his Self. To explain the concept of ‘eternal’ to such a person would simply be impossible …. The idea that something so intimately related to him should never cease to exist worries him and awakens his sense of responsibility because, understandably, life has to be viewed quite differently as soon as a permanent existence has to be taken into account.

Immortality …. Eternity …. Suicide ….
B.D. 0974b from June 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Consequently, people who consciously deny life after death will not hesitate to end their earthly life themselves since they believe that by ending their earthly life they will dispose of everything, and fail to consider the consequences of their action if they are wrong. They only destroy the outer shell but not life itself and therefore they have to continue living it …. since it cannot be destroyed, neither on earth nor in the beyond …. it is, in the true sense of the word, immortal, i.e. of eternal duration. It is not possible to end it because the Creator has created the being out of Himself and everything of divine origin cannot possibly perish. For that reason the Creator, in His wisdom, has ordained that there shall be no limit for the being to reach its state of perfection …. that even in eternity it can steadily advance and thus be constantly active and give as well as receive …. without ever becoming exhausted or ever having received the ultimate from the eternal Deity. The earthly human being can barely conceive the concept of ‘eternity’, neither can immortality be completely explained to him since nothing on earth is everlasting, and since the immortality of soul cannot be proven to him he has to believe it. Likewise, human intellect cannot analyse the time concept of ‘eternity’ either. This attempt cannot possibly lead to a result as long as the human being cannot apply the same comparison to a physical medium. He only accepts something as true when he has conclusive evidence. And therefore there remains only faith again …. The human being has to believe what cannot be demonstrated to him, and thus the immortality of the being throughout eternity must precede all other reasoning ….
Amen

Elimination of the God-opposing ….
B.D. 0975 from June 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 18
The righteous expulsion of all souls hostile to God is imminent, for the lord has proclaimed this time in word and scripture. Humanity’s striving is no longer directed towards the eternal deity but towards the prince of this world …. Mankind has consciously resisted the divine and therefore remains subject to the adversary who allowed all evil impulses to arise in man and found no resistance in him. And if man himself turns to that which must bring him ruin and feels no inclination towards the eternal divinity in himself, he must now also be fulfilled, and the separation between pure and impure spirits …. between God-recognizing and God-rejecting beings …. has been predetermined since eternity. It is not God’s will which gives rise to this but merely the will of the human being himself, and therefore the divine creator does not allow any injustice, and He gives every being fulfilment of what it has longed for itself …. Whoever has fallen prey to the prince of lies, matter, feels comfortable in its proximity, and therefore he does not desire God …. for the slightest desire for Him, the most loving father from eternity, will still be fulfilled in the last hour, for the father does not abandon those who remember Him and recognize Him in greatest adversity …. Yet there are many of them who do not recognize the father’s love until the end of their life, who reject God and therefore cannot be grasped by Him as long as salvation is still possible. He cannot take possession of a person against his will, and He can even less forcibly direct the will of man to Himself …. anyone who does not want to recognize his belonging to the eternal deity and consciously turn to Him will fall prey to eternal death. On the other hand, the father has prepared all the delights of heaven for His own. And from now on He can no longer allow the earth to harbour an infinite number of beings who no longer remember Him and who threaten His true children with danger. For His spirit will share these and every gift from heaven will be mocked by those, and the apostates will outnumber the small group of believers and be powerless unless help comes to them through divine will. This is how the court prepares itself …. And every hour brings humanity closer to this inevitable event. Earthly life will be ever more highly valued and therefore suddenly come to an end for some who do not fear an avenging or punishing hand of God ….His spiritual blindness does not let him recognize the great danger in which his soul is floating, but even the quiet will to the truth would help him to recognize the error. Instead, he shakes off everything that could give him enlightenment and considers himself to be knowledgeable and exalted over teachings which point to the eternal deity. Therefore take note that before your eyes the world will ruins …. the world which until now has been the highest to you. Take note of the fact that before that you will still receive hints upon hints so that you will reflect and find your way back and acknowledge the lord God as lord of heaven and earth and willingly submit to Him so that He will grant you His grace and deliver you from the bonds of darkness ….
Amen

Divine will …. earthly measures …. serving all spiritual ….
B.D. 0976 from June 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Understand that the world with all that is in it serves the lord of heaven and earth. It is enlivened by His spirit, and even if this spirit does not recognize itself correctly, whether it wants to escape from the eternal divinity …. it must serve against its will and submit to the will of the lord. And this expresses itself in the purpose of every work of creation, its task and activity in the entire universe. And only in this way can the immutability of the laws of nature be explained, only in this way can it be understood that everything must come to pass and shape itself in nature as it is …. and the will of man cannot bring about a change in it. Because God’s will is above its will. Since time immemorial everything created is the will of God in form, from the smallest creature right up to man …. Everything is subject to the divine will and cannot fight against it, and whether earthly rulers also seem to determine the events, they can only take shape in this way when the lord gives His consent …. He always has the power to prevent what goes against His will …. However, since it concerns the maturing of the spiritual substance, since everything in existence contains spiritual substances and every event serves the further development of these spiritual substances, the divine creator also allows the human being’s will to be carried out, even though it contravenes divine order, it is just that the consequences of such a will have a disastrous effect on people themselves. And again, no event is without any benefit in a spiritual respect, even if it results in the greatest earthly misery. Suffering and sorrow are aids to spiritual higher development …. And thus measures imposed by human will with bad intentions, which therefore cannot correspond to divine will, will change again into spiritual means of education and thus be a blessing for weak but God-seeking earthly children, whereas the unlawful action of the person who thus decrees will fall back on him and must be atoned for accordingly. The human being’s will is free, however, the lord transforms everything brought about by this will into salutary events that serve the salvation of the soul, according to necessity. Everything else, however, which is not yet in the human stage, is constantly subject to God’s will and always has to go its way through all matter according to divinely wise plan. And there is no power whatsoever which can work against this will …. therefore the spirit out of God, which however does not recognize Him, is banished in form …. i.e. until the last embodiment is completely directed by the divine will and assigned its activity in the universe. Human action and thinking gives rise to the erroneous view that it is completely independent in earthly life, yet this too is in a certain, i.e., earthly sense, constantly directed, as far as it is conducive to spiritual development …. However, all spiritual life is entirely free from influence …. In earthly relationship the human being’s will is respected as far as possible and the effects mitigated or changed for the better, depending on the necessity for the salvation of the individual …. In spiritual relationship, however, no being has to fear a compulsion of will, only all spiritual strength is at the being’s disposal, just as everything spiritual must serve the lord of heaven and earth, but only for the purpose of developing itself upwards again, to the spiritual height, in order to ultimately also be able to go through the stage as a human being and the associated freedom of will, which gives it the final opportunity to overcome matter and to reach a state of spiritual maturity, which is its release from thousands of years of captivity ….

State of light ….
B.D. 0977 from June 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Life in the beyond in a state of light is likewise inconceivable to people. It exceeds all earthly joys a thousand-fold; nevertheless, it differs entirely from the kind of earthly joys and, therefore, imparts happiness and bliss beyond all measure. And no amount of the human being’s imagination would be able to even roughly paint a picture that corresponds to the truth, for the heavenly pleasures awaiting a perfect being in these spheres are incomparable to anything on earth. In a state of light the being’s sensitive faculty equally surpasses all earthly feelings, for this reason no-one on earth will ever be able to understand the degree of pleasure which is granted to these beings. During the time on earth it must also remain inconceivable for the being, so that the human being will strive of his own accord towards perfection and not for the sake of reward. Yet the knowledge of this immeasurable happiness in the beyond would make all people strive for it with greatest zeal; nevertheless, in order to be truly prefect good must be done for the sake of good, and the reward should not come first. And therefore the heavenly Father has wisely arranged to leave humanity in ignorance about that which He has prepared for those who love Him …. He wants to possess the earthly children’s love, He wants to be their Father and reward their love in a Father’s way …. by giving the child everything that belongs to Him.… Therefore strive to become true children of God, so that you can partake in all heavenly delights …. and you will be blissfully happy beyond measure for all eternity.

Earth way without God's help ….
B.D. 0978 from June 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 18
Therefore hear the divine voice: The path upwards is passable for every human being if he walks it with divine help, yet it is insurmountable for those who do not need My support. And the more stubbornly they persist in their resistance, the more formidable the obstacles pile up in front of them and it remains a hopeless battle to overcome them. The human being grows weary and gives up the struggle, and he turns to the broad road that leads downwards. All instructions from above go unheeded, yet the world’s call is heeded, and this to the detriment of the soul …. And My help and grace is ready for everyone, yet it remains unused …. earth rushes by and could nevertheless earn people unspeakable blessings if they respected them. Love dies out among humanity, and thus the human being also neglects to acquire grace through loving activity, and once again an aid is lost to them and the soul is in great distress. For the human being does not redeem himself, he also rejects all means of grace …. he also does not make use of prayer to Me which could bring him help and is thus deprived of all spiritual nourishment. He does not desire the refreshment of heaven and goes through earthly life unrefreshed and unfortified, which nevertheless makes demands on him if his soul is to free itself from its fetters. Thus it will look unspeakably bleak for such souls who believe they don’t need God’s help, and without loving support they will hardly be saved; yet My love and My mercy constantly tries to guide these souls onto the right path and calls and entices every earthly child to long for the father and to stretch out its hands to Me ….
