Reason for receiving …. (rejecting sister?)
B.D. 1057 from August 15th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Beware, the adversary is lurking everywhere to bring you down …. Therefore pray without ceasing that the lord may protect you in all danger. “Become like children,” says the lord, and He blesses those who entrust themselves to Him in childlike prayer …. “and keep away everything that could shake childlike faith.” Behold, as the lord teaches you, you are also His true children, and you may gratefully and joyfully receive the gifts that the lord Himself offers you. However, you must first have gone through a certain school which made you inwardly mature for receiving such teachings. You have travelled a path which was certainly more difficult but which resulted in you finding Him and thus He was able to offer you the bread from heaven …. And now you have been given a great earthly task on the one hand, but on the other hand you are offered a refreshment which gives you extraordinary strength to fulfil the task. Understand and realize that the lord has given you a ministry and is also making you strong for this ministry. And what you now receive is so powerful that it will probably be difficult for many an earthly child to comprehend it …. For the spirit of those who believe to stand alone in the light is still unawakened …. their minds are not yet receptive to such wisdom, yet their heartfelt devotion to the saviour will still bring them the right realization at the right time. The lord knows His children and He knows what is right for each child. But if you encounter resistance, seek clarification from Him alone, Who will truly advise you right …. He will not let anyone take the wrong path who turns to Him for advice and help ….
Amen

Essence of matter ….
B.D. 1058 from August 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Matter appears insubstantial to the human being and insubstantial everything that does not visibly harbour life. And he does not consider how serious the stay in matter is for all spiritual things …. how matter is the gathering place of all immature spirit and what an important purpose is therefore intended for matter by the eternal creator …. And therefore matter itself must have originated from the will of God …. Consequently, as God’s will having become form it must be something which must endure, it cannot arbitrarily sink back into nothingness but must remain …. and is therefore imperishable, yet changeable in itself. And everything that is imperishable must be spirit, from the spirit of God …. And this spiritual substance out of God is enclosed in a cover which is visible to you humans, thus that which is visible to you as matter is hidden, i.e. encased spiritual substance, the cover of which is nevertheless subject to constant change for the purpose of uniting the spiritual substance and thus of constant increase. This clear explanation gives you information about the disputed question whether and to what extent matter is insubstantial, and it sufficiently explains the importance of everything that comes to light visibly in creation. What exists is all spirit out of God, but to men on earth all spiritual remains again invisible, however must be made recognizable to the human eye and therefore be purely outwardly visible. And therefore the term ‘matter’ cannot be understood in any other way than that countless spiritual beings took up residence in visible shells created by God for a purpose …. And it is now the task of these beings to break through the cover, therefore to become free of every cover …. i.e. to overcome matter …. Nothing is without purpose in creation, and nothing visible remains unchanged, even the spiritual is constantly changing, yet not visible to the human eye, and this leads the human being (16 Aug. 1939) to the assumption that matter harbours nothing essential, nothing living. Man cannot follow the development of matter in the short time on earth because it often takes an incredibly long time before an old form has dissolved and changed into a new form. And therefore everything that needs a long time to change appears to man as completely dead, as insubstantial, because where man can observe a constant reshaping, there he already admits a certain life in himself, and where a life is ascertained, there one also rather regocnizes the spiritual power, which is just the epitome of ‘life’. The more man now gives room to the thought that everything created is, as it were, God’s breath, but that the breath of God can never ever be something dead, insubstantial, but always and constantly stimulating power, which stimulates everything to activity, but never remains in inactivity, then he never again regards the solid form visible to him as an inanimate mass, and the connection of all works of creation becomes clear to him, because all these works of creation are carriers of innumerable entities which strive towards a union within themselves and for this require both a long time as well as an external form ….

Suicide? ….
B.D. 1059 from August 17th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The soul is paralysed by the awareness that it has brought about the night of death and deprived itself of the time of grace, which after all is the embodiment on earth. Life on earth, with all its difficulties, is not nearly as painful as this dark night of death, and there is no way out of it for the time being until it realizes the consequences of its actions and realizes that it acted irresponsibly when it gave up its earthly life. The heaviest sorrow, offered up to the lord, will seem more bearable to a person, but he who does not remember the lord in his distress cannot be comforted and gives the evil powers around him power over himself. And these take advantage of man’s lack of will and push him into an act that he later bitterly regrets. And it is of such great importance that the perpetual struggle of earthly life is overcome. It is so extremely important to give thanks for every day of earthly life which constantly brings the human being new opposition and to regocnize it as necessary for the salvation of the human being’s soul, yet unspeakably detrimental for the soul if it arbitrarily shortens its life on earth and the human being then loses all blessings and means because it did not find the strength to resist ….

Lies and truth …. world of appearances ….
B.D. 1060 from August 17th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Far from the right path walks the man whose soul is anxious about earthly suffering …. What is life and everything you find desirable in it …. and what a useless endeavour it is to fight for earthly recognition. Your gaze will widen if you look inwards, but what you seek in the distance will cloud your mind …. Accept the world only as an opportunity to reach the heights and seek in eternity to find the right substitute for what you lack on earth. Let yourselves be guided by the divine creator and give Him your burden to carry, He will willingly take it on His shoulders if you love and pray …. And place yourselves in His plan from eternity. The bridge to eternity is God …. love and goodness Himself …. and whoever wants to enter the bridge must be able to give love and ask sincerely …. and then there are no barriers for him that block the path to the eternal deity …. You must learn to overcome the body’s fear of transience, you must pay no attention to earthly adversity and only live for eternal destiny …. And thus it is the lord’s will that people’s shortcomings should become visible so that the spirit of humanity can be regocnized by all who look around them with open eyes. And in the condemnation of their weaknesses there is still the possibility of saving souls by showing them their reflection and making them detest the product of false endeavour …. truth cannot unfold in the world of appearances, and the slightest untruth has an influence on the human being’s mind because the spirit in him detests untruth, and again it is worth noting that the world is based on lies and shuns the truth, whereas the spirit only takes pleasure in the truth and thus separates itself from the world and everything earthly transient. And thus there is only one way to walk …. the world must be despised, it must be fought in every way, it must only be regarded as a means to an end, it must be endured but not loved, it must be able to be sacrificed at any time and exchanged for eternity …. It contains good and evil within itself, for those forces emanate from it which turn towards the truth, but far more which act against the truth, and both directions will be in opposition to each other and yet be active for each other, for the truth brings to light the fullest realization, and likewise the lie will assert its place …. for only where there is vice can virtue also unfold, since without the possibility of vice no virtue can be practiced. And so untruth will undoubtedly dominate the world until people’s spiritual state has improved and only the truth is desired for the sake of truth ….

Gathering spiritual goods …. building …. foundation walls ….
B.D. 1061 from August 18th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
You should always be certain that the father in heaven will hear your plea if it concerns the salvation of your soul. However, you must always endeavour to avoid sin and do God’s will, and then you will also be assured of divine help, for the lord promises His blessing to those who seek Him. The more intimately your heart turns to the divine saviour, the more abundantly the lord will provide for you, and if you live your earthly life in constant contact with Him, divine grace will flow to you unmeasured, for the father in heaven will give you everything your heart desires …. How much more, if your longing is for Him alone …. The father’s love embraces you all and is always ready to give. Yet anyone who does not pay attention to Him will not partake of this love and his life on earth will be of little benefit to his soul. But it is a notable success if the human being, conscious of his strength from God, can entrust himself to the father at any time, question Him and receive an answer …. In this way he gathers good after good for his soul, he gathers what will last for all eternity, he lets a building arise, incomparably valuable and happy, he builds his spiritual home as it were and puts together stone after stone, for the divine master builder Himself instructs him and ensures that the foundation walls are firm and indestructible and that the human being does not run the risk of sinking into groundless soil …. And so strive above all for the most inner bond with God, so that you become worthy of His fatherly care and never remain without help …. For the father loves His children and stands by them in every adversity ….
Amen

The happiness of the lord's dwelling in the heart ….
B.D. 1062 from August 19th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
I look favourably upon the one who sacrifices everything on earth to Me, for since his heart is free from all earthly desires, I can now inhabit it …. and with Me indescribable happiness enters the heart …. which, however, is quite different from earthly happiness …. Those who have received Me into their hearts henceforth desire nothing other than My presence, and since they love Me so dearly, this desire will be fulfilled …. I let Myself be found by My child. I only want its love …. I want it to seek Me and long for Me, and then I am always ready to give Myself away …. I grant supreme happiness to the earthly child who has found Me; I take it to My heart and feed and water it with My love. But I can never grant supreme happiness to the one who still carries other desires in his heart. For every desire for earthly joy makes My abode in such a heart impossible, for the world and I are two opposing poles; the world certainly offers countless comforts from an earthly point of view, but it can never insert the feeling of an intimate bond with Me into the goods it distributes …. this would be so unthinkable because two such opposing concepts could never coincide. Those who love the world and its splendour and magnificence cannot tangibly feel the happiness that the presence of the lord triggers. And conversely, man will detest everything earthly if he is given the grace of closeness to God in return. I embrace such a child with such heartfelt love that it is no longer felt by the body but by the spirit, and the latter suddenly regocnizes its origin and forcefully joins the father from eternity …. It has looked into the light and thus from that very hour no longer fears the darkness either, and once the spirit has regocnized itself and tangibly felt the loving approach in the eternal deity and thus glimpsed heavenly delights all earthly desire is killed, for everything the world offers appears stale and empty to the earthly child and it only ever and ever seeks union with the saviour …. For I promise My own unspeakable bliss already on earth if they carry Me in their hearts …. and no longer pay attention to worldly pleasures ….
Amen

Outpouring of the Holy spirit ….
B.D. 1063 from August 20th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The lord wants to inform you of an extremely important teaching which has so far been presented to you humans in a very distorted and therefore difficult to accept but which is too serious to be completely disregarded. This applies both in an earthly as well as in a spiritual respect, for the predetermined course of earthly existence allows for a certain degree of maturity of the soul which, however, depends on the person’s respective attitude towards this very teaching.
Behold, the outpouring of the Holy spirit is still something completely incomprehensible to people, and because they have not yet grasped the meaning of the words they do not attach any significance to them either and therefore simply reject them, which is tremendously detrimental for the earthly child. For not only does he himself live in utter poverty of spirit, he also has no understanding for gifts of the spirit which are imparted to other people, and this is the reason why humanity does not regocnize any visible manifestations of divine strength. Let the human being try to imagine how agonizing the state would be for him if he were unable to hold on to a thought, if only a thought always emerged in a flash only to immediately disappear from his consciousness again …. man should try to realize that this mental activity must also be subject to a certain order in order to have purpose and benefit as such …. and he will then realize that this thought is something that cannot be discarded at will. And again it must be pointed out that no power is sent into the universe indiscriminately after all but is channelled according to God’s wise counsel to where the human being’s will makes him suitable as an energy carrier to accept such power. And this power from God is His spirit …. which pours out over people if only they are willing to serve as a vessel, and thus the outpouring of the Holy spirit cannot be understood in any other way than that God imparts Himself, i.e. His power, His spirit, unmeasured to those who want to receive it …. Whoever requests the holiest from God, His spirit flowing from Him, asks for it, proves himself worthy of it and is therefore ready to receive it, the holiest, the power from God, pours out on him …. And thus this divine spirit organizes all thinking and feeling in the human being, the spirit of God guides the earthly child into the holy truth, into deepest knowledge …. And the spirit of God proclaims itself through the mouth of man …. The spirit in a willing earthly child is ready for every instruction …. the spirit from God, which can now express itself through a human being, wants to proclaim everything to people and give them what is beneficial for their salvation …. and this spirit from God must naturally also be able to accomplish things due to its perfection which are impossible for the human being as such. Thus, when the spirit of God pours out over a person there is no longer any question of natural speech, thought and action; the divine spirit directs the activity of thought, it directs the will to word and deed, and it works out of itself the most obvious signs of its divinity …. And if you now consider that all of you who walk on earth are equally entitled to request the spirit from God and that it would pour out upon everyone if you endeavour to be receptive, then you will realize how tremendously important the understanding of this process is and how little you make use of this grace you are all entitled to …. how miserable you remain in spirit because you ignore the source of inestimable spiritual wealth and only allow your mental activity to become active to a very limited extent and even put up a defence when you are given the evidence that only the will to receive has to be practiced if a loving earthly child wants to receive an unimaginable wealth through the outpouring of the Holy spirit ….
Amen

Sin against the Holy spirit ….
B.D. 1064 from August 20th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
At times the divine spirit reveals itself to you, and this is literally the outpouring of the Holy spirit …. However, anyone who knowingly resists this, who resists receiving the most holy word and wants to break off all spiritual relationships and thus closes his heart to any spiritual flow, sins against the Holy spirit because he regocnized him …. The spirit from God wants to make Himself known to all people for the salvation of their souls, and a divine gift should be received with a grateful heart and a joyful mind …. However, anyone who rejects something so wonderfully offered cannot be accepted again eternally, for he sins against the eternal deity by resisting its working. Man rejects a grace which you cannot even comprehend in its value, yet divine love regocnized humanity’s plight on the one hand, and on the other hand it saw the infinite blessing which can arise from it if humanity allows itself to make use of the offer of divine love and to desire enlightenment through the outpouring of the Holy spirit. For the spirit of God comes to everyone who makes himself worthy of it and wants to have a redeeming effect on earth. God gives always and at all times …. He gives without limit, and His wisdom is imparted to those who lovingly entrust themselves to Him, present their spiritual poverty to Him and desire His grace. And thus no human being may pray in vain if his prayer only concerns spiritual nourishment and the earthly child would like to be truly informed about God and the true purpose of earthly life. The father in heaven withholds the truth from none of His children if it is earnestly desired. And thus the spirit of God will hover down and introduce the earthly child to all knowledge, and it must now also be taken note of in full faith so that humanity can examine it more closely and then be instructed accordingly by those who therefore have knowledge and gratefully receive the divine spirit’s utterances ….
Amen

Negative attitude …. desert …. seed ….
B.D. 1065 from August 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The negative attitude towards the work of the divine spirit corresponds entirely to a barren region, a desert. The soil cannot provide nourishment for any plant and therefore nothing can grow unless industrious labourers dare to cultivate the soil, which requires unspeakable patience and perseverance and, not least, blessing from above. It is the same with people to whom the gospel is constantly preached, but where it falls on stony ground …. because everything that divine love sends to such people is ignored and cannot reach the soul until the lord’s labourers arrive and prepare the ground with the greatest effort, patience and love to receive the seed that is to bear a thousandfold fruit …. The human mind is like a barren wasteland, turned solely towards earthly life but averse to everything spiritual. And the sun, whose rays are life-awakening, can shine incessantly, it will never succeed in bringing forth a plant from the stony rubble …., just as a person’s highest spiritual knowledge would not suffice to want to transfer it to a rejecting, unprepared human being who accepts the divine words indifferently but never ponders them deep in his heart …., which is the field that is to receive the seed …. ponders. And so it is hard work, and yet it must be tackled …. all labourers who are in the service of the lord must work to ensure that the fallow ground is made fertile, and the creator’s love for His creatures must be held up to them with unspeakable patience until they lend a hand of their own accord and endeavour to ensure that the divine seed continues to spread. And this will sprout forth very delicately and will overgrow all previously lifeless and dead rock, and the labour, love and patience of the workers will be blessed, for new life will arise from the former desert of ignorance. And the lord will bless the labourers who, for His sake, undertook the unspeakably great work and thereby led so many souls to knowledge and who, although their work seemed almost hopeless, did not tire and reclaimed barren, unfruitful land …. i.e. conveyed true knowledge to ignorant, God-rejecting people and thus contributed to the fact that those people no longer remained dead and lifeless in spirit ….

Atheism …. Divine intervention ….
B.D. 1066 from August 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The divine Creator must rightfully address the extent of people’s lack of concern in respect of spiritual matters, since the whole of life on earth is pointless and useless if the soul leaves its earthly shell in the same state as it had received it. And such a wasted life is an abomination before the Lord, for the Lord gave people this life for improving their soul and not for a thoughtless way of life and the chasing after earthly pleasures. Woe to those who do not recognise their task on earth …. Countless obstacles will be placed into their path, so that they will run into them and be forced to investigate where all this is coming from. Such an obstacle is occasionally able to cause a complete change of thinking and to resolve the carelessness and indifference towards all spiritual matters. And therefore God’s will always intervenes where spiritual ruin is foreseeable. If the human soul’s downfall is looming, drastic experiences must weigh the mind down if the soul’s fall into the abyss is to be prevented at the last minute. The distinctly visible continuous spiritual decline is the best evidence of this. Does anyone ever even associate the smallest event with God? Does anyone ever give honour to God and thank Him when daily life proceeds smoothly? …. Does the human being not experience new miracles around and above him every day, do these constant experiences ever make him think of his Creator? …. And how often does God’s grace guide a person through adversity and danger …. and he accepts it as a matter of course when he should, in fact, praise and glorify God without end. Only a devout disposition recognises the Lord’s guidance in everything …. only a faithful child places all its trust in the divine Creator and Redeemer …. Yet the human race barely knows faith, and it is so removed from spiritual experience that the God of love wants to help people in their spiritual adversity. And thus the day has come that the flood of divine love once again pours itself upon humanity, for faith in God as Ruler of heaven and earth shall arise anew through signs of a miraculous nature …. The spirit of a kind-hearted person will brightly and clearly recognise God’s activity and he will instruct and help his neighbour to learn to interpret the signs correctly as well. You humans will come into possession of spiritual values; even so, you will look outwardly and unless you make an effort to listen to the inner voice, all Words will be in vain and thus the signs must talk instead on behalf of God’s wisdom and might …. And you will experience many of those …. they will all point to above, for you do not recognise human influence therein; instead, they solely show the Lord’s will and purpose. And this time is near and thus the time of spiritual adversity can be over for everyone who pays attention to these signs and draws on it for the benefit his soul ….
Amen

Entering the afterlife …. influence of the beings of light ….
B.D. 1067 from August 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The gate to eternity should not frighten anyone, that is God’s will …. But man’s will all too often takes a different path and makes his entry into the hereafter an hour of deepest anxiety and abandonment instead of an hour of blissful joy. And yet God’s goodness has shown him the right path countless times in his earthly life. But because the will of man may not be touched, the father in heaven only ever restricts Himself to indications of all kinds, but not that man must necessarily take a path that leads safely to the goal. And so the human being can organize the hour of separation from the bodily shell according to his own will for joy or for suffering, and he will not be eternally hindered in his will. What effort and endeavour it costs on the part of the beings of light who look after every human being to constantly guide the earthly child onto the right path …. if it does not consciously pursue its high goal …. can be seen from the fact that these beings constantly surround the earth and constantly let their spiritual strength flow to the earthly beings. If people would willingly surrender to every impulse of the heart it would be easy for the beings caring for them to shape people to highest perfection; yet how rarely does an earthly child live in the clear realization that it should only live on earth for its perfection, and how rarely does this result in a complete integration into divine will …. People are far more likely to struggle with the thoughts that want to impose themselves on them, which want to influence people in that direction …. What they should do in order to live in a God-pleasing way mostly does not appeal to them; they do not think of the end of their body and the therefore imperfect state of their soul but only of the body and its well-being, and it is therefore incredibly difficult for the beings of light to exert any influence on such earthly children, and thus the help which can be offered to them is very little, although it is available to them unmeasured …. But man believes that he does not need such help because he believes himself to be strong enough to carve out his own life and does not really think about the actual purpose of life. Behold, this is the great mistake of mankind, that it trusts its own strength too much …. and is therefore proud and arrogant …. True faith must be manifested through humility. The less a person trusts himself, the more he desires help …. And it is truly the right help to hope for from the beings standing in the light …. The earthly child has to struggle unbelievably and its strength would weaken prematurely if spiritual help were not always ready for it …. And this spiritual help also warns against too quick a judgement if it appears as if the lord chooses spiritually pre-trained people for His work on earth, i.e. people who are well-instructed by perfect beings. This view could confirm people in their opinion that God’s will assigns this or that office to a person and that it is therefore irrelevant how far a person’s spiritual maturity is …. Oh no, every human being must struggle with all his strength …. firstly for knowledge …. and this struggle is particularly difficult and should therefore be emphasized …. and then to make his will compliant and to submit to the divine will without resistance. Only he who offers his will to the lord will be chosen for an office which is of very special importance …. But every person’s struggle should lead to the fact that the human being should hand himself over to his spiritual helpers and thus allow himself to be guided by them onto the right path which leads through the gate to eternity, thus to heavenly bliss with utmost certainty …. and you will not need to shy away from the hour of death but it will only mean a release from the physical shell for you ….

Arrogance …. knowledge …. faith ….
B.D. 1068 from August 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
An insurmountable obstacle to spiritual maturity is a person’s arrogant opinion that he has knowledge and therefore no longer needs to be taught, for this person erects such a wall and, as it were, sets barriers to his spirit that cannot be removed until such a person’s thinking is completely transformed and he humbly regocnizes his previous wrong thinking. A cup cannot hold clear, pure water as long as it contains any other liquid. And thus, if the human intellect is utilized for knowledge of any kind and one believes to be able to solve spiritual questions with such knowledge, one will hardly deal with spiritual things. And it is therefore very difficult to win over a person who is fully occupied with earthly matters to solve spiritual questions, for every minute seems precious to him for earthly purposes and so he resists what he considers to be useless thinking. He only sees the world and tries to get behind unsolved questions intellectually, and his results are always unimpeachable as long as he can prove them purely intellectually. He rejects research on a spiritual path, and so it is ultimately the work and activity of God that can be made comprehensible to him. And just as little will his spirit be able to make contact with the divine original spirit …. For it remains unawakened despite the greatest worldly knowledge, and thus a person who has the greatest successes to show before the world is small and poor in spiritual knowledge …. Judging soberly, he only sees everything on the outside, he only sees the shell, but not the core …. He sees what is around him, but not its purpose and meaning. He has no visible proof of spiritual assertions, and so he arrogantly stands in defence of everything that spiritual research has achieved. And it is therefore extremely regrettable that spiritual truths find no entry where the human being actually wants to be highly developed, and this solely because he has eliminated faith from his life …. How enormously far a person could go in his knowledge if he wanted to connect the spiritual gift given to him by God, his intellectual thinking, with the deepest faith …. All areas would be opened up to him and all knowledge imparted to him if he could truly believe that God can enlighten his spirit and introduce him to all truth. But spiritual arrogance sets a boundary between worldly and spiritual knowledge …. spiritual arrogance creates an insurmountable barrier; it is an obstacle that cannot be overcome in any other way than by recognizing one’s own inadequacy and, as a result, the deepest inner humility …. Only then can the right path …. the path to truth …. can be travelled ….
Amen

Influx of spiritual power …. maturity ….
B.D. 1069 from August 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Hear the divine voice: Access to everything spiritual opens up for you humans from the hour you cultivate love within yourselves and thus already work spiritually. For love, which is truly unselfish, is spiritual work in itself, and so it also increases in itself through every new act of love, and therefore the man, who is active in love, will reach spiritual maturity, because all mature spiritual unites itself as it were with a loving earth child and therefore also increases spiritual power. If the influx of spiritual strength expresses itself during the time of earthly existence, then such an earthly existence has truly not been lived in vain, for it has already brought about the union with the spiritual, and thus the state of maturity must be assured where the union with the spiritual constantly takes place. If you humans at all times seek to unite yourselves with what is good, then the human being must naturally also be willing to do what he regocnizes as good …. He cannot strive for something whose possession does not seem valuable to him, and he will therefore only desire what is truly his innermost need …. And if he loves unselfishly, he will inevitably be drawn to God …. He is drawn to all spiritual power, the source of which is the eternal deity …. And he desires everything divine from the bottom of his heart and thus, as it were, demands spiritual power. He wants to increase within himself the desire for God, the love for God and all good strength, because this helps him to approach the eternal deity, and thus his plea and supplication is always turned towards God …. And the earthly child’s desire grows the more intimately it devotes itself to God, for it is seized by spiritual strength. It is a perpetual overflow of this into the heart of the earthly child, which is therefore lovingly active, and it can therefore never be abandoned by good spiritual strength, since it continuously connects itself with this through every spiritual thought, through every spiritual conversation and through the very contact with God through heartfelt prayer. Prayer in itself already conveys an influx of spiritual strength to an indescribable degree, for when a person prays, he opens his heart to every gift of grace from above …. he implores God for strength and is therefore also the recipient of this strength, since he is willing to accept help from God. And thus the spirit constantly increases, and this results in spiritual maturity, for the human being, who constantly requests spirit from God, must also mature to the same extent, after all, he avails himself of divine grace which makes his path on earth an easy one ….
Amen

Purpose of the proclamations …. teachers in the afterlife ….
B.D. 1070 from August 25th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Visualize the lord’s goodness and love, and through these receive: The lord’s missions primarily aim at a perfect education of the recipient. Consequently, the receiving earthly child must be continuously instructed in all areas in order to be able to pass on what he has been given to people and thus be able to preach the gospel to them. Not only a single person is to become knowledgeable through these proclamations, but the knowledge is to be spread and serve an upward development of man. And thus all forces in the beyond that are active in teaching must co-operate. The teaching forces are at work in a certain order and the proclamations depend on the respective will to receive of the earthly child …. Its desire is decisive as to which spiritual instruction it receives. And thus an increased love for God and a deepened faith will be rewarded accordingly through proclamations which delight the earthly child in their depth and wisdom. And if it now strives for the greatest possible spiritual progress it will also thereby increase its ability to receive spiritual gifts, and it will not be able to do enough spiritual work and only ever want to receive …. and this will brings about ever higher results. The willingness of a receptive soul is particularly desirable to the teachers in the beyond, for it makes their teaching work much easier, as there are fewer obstacles to mental transmission …. Now every proclamation has to fulfil the teaching purpose as well as to impart spiritual strength at the same time, for every gift offered from above is spiritual strength in itself, and the earthly child will sense this through increased will for spiritual work. And thus the urge to work for the lord and to become an active labourer in His vineyard will also increase, and this is of such great importance, for only then will the earthly child also make use of the received teachings by willingly passing them on and thus serving according to divine will. The activity of the teaching beings in the beyond is so varied. They must take into account the disposition of the earthly child and exercise the greatest patience if the result of their endeavour is to be satisfactory and the work of redemption on earth is to be successful. Yet if the human being’s will is good, his strength is also great enough, for he will be given more and more as long as he only asks …. And only weakness of will, weakness of faith and diminishing activity of love reduce the measure of spiritual gifts …. Yet as long as the earthly child asks for strength and grace it will not slacken in its endeavour and thus be allowed to draw wisdom upon wisdom, because the teachers in the beyond are only ever willing to give in their activity of love and only require the human being’s will to do so. The beings of light impart themselves to people to such an extent that their gifts are truly sufficient to gain knowledge in a very short time, yet it must always be taken into account that the spiritual task of the recipient is not ignored …. He who receives much should also give much, and only the willingness to distribute the gifts he receives enables the earth child to receive them again and again. It can therefore draw from the source of divine wisdom as long as it also conveys the drink to others who are thirsty, and thus the father will also always and constantly quench its thirst because the earthly child desires spiritual gifts not for itself but also for its fellow human beings …. and thus expresses its will to likewise be active on earth as a teacher ….

Lawfulness in nature …. will that has become form ….
B.D. 1071 from August 26th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Research in spirit and you will regocnize that all life in nature takes place according to law. And if you now desire an explanation, you must turn questioningly to the author of this lawfulness, and you will receive enlightenment. The reign and activity of the eternal deity is most clearly recognizable in nature, for everything repeats itself in a certain order, always in the same period of time, always in the same sequence, in form and nature according to divine will. And so all becoming in nature is an eternally repeating process, which in turn is subject to a certain rhythm; and man can certainly bring about an apparent change in this order, but he can never interfere with the laws of the divine creator without any harmful effect. If God’s creative spirit visibly expresses itself in everything that surrounds the human being and he is unable to stop or counteract God’s activity, then there can surely be no doubt that a will controls everything and that the human being is therefore powerless against this will. He must realize that he too is subject to the same lawfulness and must therefore also be the product of this directing will of the lawgiver. And it follows from this that all natural coming into being would again be unthinkable if the divine creator wanted to withdraw His will from it, for everything that exists and comes into being is only the will of God that has become form. Anything arbitrary, irregular would certainly give rise to doubt, yet the tiniest work of creation testifies to unsurpassable wisdom and omnipotence, and anyone who attentively observes even the smallest work of creation can never deny himself the realization that an exceedingly wise designer must be at work Who creates and governs in the most exact order and most perfect regularity ….

Question – answer …. mental activity spiritual work ….
B.D. 1072 from August 26th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
At times the human being desires enlightenment in matters which move his thoughts and he does not pay attention to the thoughts which flow into him, which appear as if of their own accord and would just like to be grasped. The human being would then receive clear answers to all questions, he would, so to speak, be truthfully informed about everything he desires to know, of course always on the condition that he is a believer and desires to know the truth. If the human being wanted to pay more attention to all his thoughts, he would soon notice that some question is always followed by an answer in the form of a thought, which the human being, however, rejects as self-given but which often reappears as a thought, thus, as it were, repeatedly forcing itself into his consciousness …. All such thoughts, which touch on problems that often occupy people, are whispers from beings on the other side, which cannot make themselves known to people in any other way than in the form of thought transmission. It is the need of these beings, just like among the people living on earth, to exchange information and therefore all spiritual beings can express themselves mentally. If the human being has the will to accept such utterances a regulated spiritual exchange can take place. The beings whose knowledge is insufficient and who therefore also instruct people wrongly can now also express themselves. But this is where the human being’s desire for truth sets the limits …. Anyone who desires the truth for the sake of the truth has nothing to fear from the transmissions of such immature spiritual beings. For the desire for truth only attracts beings which are in fullest truth, which are extremely willing and endeavour to guide the human being on earth into all truth. And thus the spirits of lies only have an influence on people who are more interested in everything else than in the pure truth. Man should ask himself: What is the thought …. how does it arise, and what is the cause of such infinitely different formulations of the thought? …. And the answer must become clear to him that thought is spiritual power …. and that spiritual power is therefore imparted. And indeed, the imparter must possess this spiritual power in abundance in order to be able to give it to the recipient …. The possessor must therefore have an advantage over the one who desires. And so every question is a desire and every answer a fulfilment …. spiritual power is not something tangible, but only spiritually perceptible, and therefore thought is something that every human being can absorb and yet not see or feel. And it must now be understandable to the human being that only spiritual beings can be considered as the source of the thought who want to and are able to give away what they possess in abundance and that there only has to be a certain willingness to receive on the part of the human being which is based on faith. For only the believing human being regocnizes and affirms the working of spiritual beings in such a way and finds the right explanation for thought transference and for all mental activity in general.

Rejecting divine grace …. easy way of life ….
B.D. 1073 from August 27th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Let it be a warning to you that you must not with impunity presume to reject the grace of God, for you will remain weak in spirit, you will walk blindly, and that alone is a judgement for your soul, which you yourselves have caused …. And grasp it rightly: you are depriving yourselves of unspeakably marvellous things …. To stand in the grace of God is a relief for a person on earth, which he himself does not even regocnize to the full extent, but one day he will become aware of it when he looks back on his path through life …. when he realizes how unspeakably he had to struggle and half his strength was needed to do so using the means of grace which were at his disposal …. and he rejected them out of arrogance …. This will create a state of remorse for him that is truly a terrible punishment for him …. How often does the human being have the opportunity that he only needs to grasp the grace coming to him but his will consciously rejects it, and only because he feels strong enough himself and does not believe he needs help from above. What is man as long as he lives on earth …. But only a creature struggling for perfection …. The eternal creator is truly not so unreasonable as to demand more from His creatures than they can easily fulfil. However, man himself complicates his struggle through his own will. As soon as God sets man a task, He also has the relief ready for him, for it is only His infinite love that wants to offer His creature incomparably marvellous things for eternity. And so the demands He places on people must also be based on His love …. thus He also promises them all the means to fulfil the requirements …. And it only requires childlike humility to accept these aids, which are so lovingly offered, from the father’s hand in order to effortlessly cover the path to the top. After all, the sun of divine love shines uninterruptedly for you humans, it wants to illuminate your path of life and warm you with its rays, and if you willingly surrender to its beneficial effect you must also mature in your soul, and then you will have made use of divine grace and made the path on earth easier for you through your will ….
Amen

Coming suffering …. purpose …. help ….
B.D. 1074 from August 28th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Whatever may threaten you, never forget that the father in heaven is always ready to help you if only you desire His help. In the coming time your faith will have to prove itself, you will see adversity and misery, horrors and dangers all around you, and yet it only depends on your faith that you will overcome all suffering or be led through it untouched. For all suffering only comes upon you so that you may learn to believe if you have lost it, and you must therefore take the path which alone can lead you back to faith. Whoever regocnizes the lord God does not have to fear earthly suffering to such an extent that it weighs him down. Present all your worries to Him and leave it to His will to free you from them, and you will look forward to everything to come with noticeable relief. All this is inevitable for humanity, it is necessary for its redemption …. And many a soul is in the greatest danger if it is not offered help in this way. Only a frightened mind looks around in search of where help could come from, for earthly carefreeness is only an apparent state of rest which, however, entails far more dreadful consequences …. a far more agonizing state in the afterlife than the most difficult time on earth. And if God’s love now wants to keep this suffering away from you, it must now intervene in such a way and send you afflictions which are to awaken you …. You will truly not suffer more than is necessary so that you will find the right path and seek God, the lord of heaven and earth …. And if suffering seems unbearable to you, know that you are still far from the right path …. know that you are not in the right faith but still seek worldly things too much and think too little of your purpose on earth. And pay attention to how clear as day the divine programmes are commanded to you from above, how they reveal the will of the father in heaven and how you can avert all suffering from yourselves by fulfilling the divine commandments …. pay attention to His word and live accordingly, and you can be certain that the father will spare you from all suffering, for once His children have truly found Him, the purpose of all trials will have been fulfilled and He will remove all suffering and sorrow from you. And therefore endure with patience what the lord imposes on you and try to fulfil the divine will so that the time of trials will not be long ….
Amen

Dwelling of divinity in the heart …. tools ….
B.D. 1075 from August 29th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
It will be a solemn moment for a God-serving earthly child when divinity approaches him in an undeniable way, when he now regocnizes most clearly that he is granted a grace which is so exceedingly blissful that a second person would not be able to imagine what bliss escapes him. The deepest peace enters the heart, which now serves the lord and saviour as an abode, and it is so blissful that earthly events, no matter how sorrowful they may be, no longer exert any influence and therefore the state of the earthly child can no longer be called earthly but is already a dwelling in higher regions. And therefore this favour is not very often granted to a person on earth, as it easily makes him incapable of any earthly activity, and the lord only favours those who, through constant looking and listening inwards, have already come considerably close to the state of maturity, so that they no longer have to fear death on earth and therefore cannot suffer any harm if they no longer comply with earthly activity. The human being should struggle and strive for light, and he should patiently endure all hardships that life brings him and look up to the father with grateful love …. And from now on the father will look after this child with His care and, as a crowning glory, allow him a small glimpse of heavenly joys already on earth. And it only requires the most heartfelt devotion, for the more intimately it unites itself with the divine saviour, the more tangible it will become to the human being that the saviour also unites Himself to him and indeed indissolubly …. For once a person has entered into a bond with the divine spirit, he is inseparably united with Him and need fear neither relapse nor weakening of spiritual endeavour. In special cases it is divine will that the earthly child should gain insight into the extraordinary working of the eternal deity in order to be able to truly proclaim the closeness of the father and to be able to bear witness to the truthfulness of His words, and thus God’s instruments will be considered in a quite marvellous way and be exceedingly happy to be praised. And their hearts will glow with love and devote themselves solely to the father in heaven. And their power will be great, for they will constantly draw it from the extraordinary grace of being intimately united with the lord and saviour ….
Amen

Father's heritage …. kingdom of God …. childship to God ….
B.D. 1076 from August 30th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Do not forget that you are God’s creatures and that as such you have the right to take up your father’s inheritance, which is the eternal kingdom that the father has prepared for you. But if you want to claim the rights of a child for yourselves, you must also identify yourselves as His children and thus testify that you are perfect, just as your father in heaven is perfect. Yet the father will not consider an unrighteous child in the same way, for it does not profess to belong to God but has handed itself over to another power …. it has consciously become the successor of the one who brought lies and deceit, falsehood and deceitfulness into the world. And so its legacy will one day be eternal darkness and ruin …. But whoever proves himself worthy of being a child of God will one day have a glorious fate, for the father in heaven promises eternal bliss …. He will fetch them home to the father’s house and grant them unbounded, undreamt-of delights, He will let them participate in His work and endeavours …. And these glories are prepared for all His creatures, and it pities Him if one of His children forgets this bliss, if it is to lose it forever. And therefore He tries to wrest every soul from the adversary, yet this soul does not regocnize the father’s infinite love …. and it forfeits the childship to God …. Yet everything that is begotten through His love follows the same path …. the being has the same goal in mind, the same power is at its disposal and the divine will guides every creature and shows it the right path. But where the will of man is stronger resp. opposes the divine will, there the earth being no longer feels the love of the father, and the separation becomes more and more pronounced …. The God of love sees the love of the earthly child grow cold more and more, and thus the being distances itself from God instead of coming closer to Him. It closes its eyes and ears to the whisperings of the beings wanting to help it, and thus such a being’s childship to God looks very inadequate; all the glories of the world beyond can be presented to it, it does not respect them and most definitely rejects the soul’s survival after death. For it does not regocnize its origin, it does not regocnize itself as a creature of God and will therefore never ever consciously strive for childship to God unless extraordinary evidence of divine activity makes it realize its error. And for the sake of this the lord shakes the earth, for the sake of this His mighty call resounds through all the world. And thereby He wants to break the power of the adversary anew by giving people a weapon with which the adversary is to be put to flight …. Only the will has to decide in complete freedom whether the human being regocnizes himself as God’s creature and thus wants to take the path to Him or remain in weakness of spirit and completely disregard the striving for childship to God …. Yet he was given the intellect to regocnize correctly, and God always provides the means to make it easy for people on earth to regocnize ….

The Saviour's visible presence …. Degree of love ….
B.D. 1077 from August 31th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Those who seek Me will recognise Me wherever I encounter them, for their spirit is part of Me and thus nothing separates them from Me. I will be amongst them in person and the inner voice will disclose My presence to them …. And if they then want to serve Me, they will remain silent and not announce Me publicly, for I then I will only be present for the child which is united with Me in deepest love. I will be visible to this child yet remain hidden to the others if their spirit has not recognised Me as yet. Nevertheless, the hour is still undisclosed to you, for only your degree of love leads Me to you and into your midst. The legacy I gave to My Own on earth shall fulfil itself word for word, anyone who carries Me within himself shall be permitted to behold Me, and every word from his mouth will testify to My magnificence, and his voice will sound brightly if it sings My praises and honours Me …. And as soon as I dwell amongst you, My little children, you need never fear the suffering on Earth, for you will no longer feel it so much; one glance into My Fatherly eye and earthly suffering will no longer torment you. I come to My Own to give them this strength in order to defy the onslaught which penetrates them from outside. The spirit from Me instructs you so that you are likewise able to teach and to nourish and refresh the hungry and thirsty. And wherever you gather together to proclaim My Word I take part and give strength to those who speak in My name …. And thus it is I Who reveals Himself through a human mouth, for I choose My own fighters, and anyone willing to fight with and only for Me shall fight with the sword of his mouth, then he will be victorious in battle, since I will lead him into battle. He who beholds Me cannot help but serve Me with all his soul …. He fears no opponent, fear and despondency are nothing to him, for My image is indelibly carved in his heart and, from then on, it will be the impetus for his highest display of will. And the world will recognise his strength with astonishment; it will oppose him and yet be unable to diminish his will, in constant battle as a courageous fighter he will show many a soul the way to the eternal light, for they will recognise the strength and power of faith in Me, the Saviour and Redeemer of the world ….

Prayer in times of need in spirit and in truth ….
B.D. 1078 from September 1st 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Unite yourselves in the name of the lord and call upon Him in time of need and He will answer your prayer …. Behold, this is what you lack, you are too little in spirit with Him, Who is supposed to be your constant refuge and protection, and He wants you to always remember Him and go no way without Him. Whoever asks in spirit and in truth will always be heard by the father …. Those who entrust themselves to His goodness and love are in His favour, but only very few seek the father and desire His help, and therefore He cannot reveal Himself to His children as a loving, helpful father …. and that is why faith in Him is so weak, and people are overcome by fear and worry and feel helpless and abandoned. Pray to the lord and humbly confess your weakness to Him so that He may make you strong in spirit and you may henceforth regocnize Him as your father …. And let yourselves be guided, for you can entrust yourselves to His guidance with confidence …. And thus you are in the best of care and need not fear any battle in which you could succumb, just always let Him be your first defender and follow Him without hesitation wherever He leads you. For He really has an overview of everything that is necessary for your happiness and He will consider each person as it is beneficial for his soul’s development. And if you want to be afflicted by anxiety, then always only think of His love, which embraces you all, and believe that His deepest love can relieve you of all earthly suffering …. Believe that you will never knock at the door in vain …. The lord will always open it for you, for anyone who desires to enter will be willingly admitted, for the father is only waiting for your call in order to be able to express His great love for you. And this great love also moves Him again now, if you are destined for hardship …. Anyone who faithfully appeals to Him for help will truly find it, and anyone who places himself under divine protection will inevitably be safe …. And if it is the father’s will none of His children will suffer, and therefore pray without ceasing so that the father can show you His love and guide you through all earthly suffering and comfort you at all times when you are in danger of despair ….
Amen

Submission of the will …. awakening of the spirit of God ….
B.D. 1079 from September 2nd 1939, taken from Book No. 20
He who works in you regocnizes your will, and the spirit needs this if it wants to make itself known and no resistance is put up against its work. All spirits try to break through the shell and, once they have succeeded in doing so, they strive to ascend …. Man’s will is the shell which often holds him captive when he resists everything spiritual …. And then it is unspeakably difficult for the divine spirit in the human being to make itself felt. But if the will subordinates itself to the divine spirit then all resistance is broken and the higher development of the human being or his soul is guaranteed. And thus the will first has to bend …. the will must become weak and yielding so that the spirit can dominate it, while conversely the will has been strong and unbending in all physical desires until now …. But now the strength of the will must be directed solely towards the spiritual, everything that comes about through the human being’s will must only be directed by the spirit in him, and then every action, every thought and every word will only ever testify to the spiritual, and all physical desires will recede into the background. And so the will of man was subordinated to the will of God, the spirit out of him thereby released, so that it can unfold to enormous activity. And this activity of the spirit extends to the most diverse teachings, which are now offered to man in manifold kind. All teachings which the spirit of God dictates to the human being are carefully selected both in their structure and in their wording and guarantee purest truth in terms of content, and nothing is offered haphazardly or inappropriately but carefully prepared and given for a specific purpose. And what seems strange and unacceptable to one person is immediately understandable to another, and this is due to the degree of maturity or love of the one who scrutinizes such divine spiritual gifts. And again, this is so easily explainable as the shackles of the spirit in a loving person are only so weak that divine transmissions can break these weak shackles and thus spirit finds itself in spirit. And so it is never the sharpness of the intellect but the goodness and love of the heart that will subdue the will …. and since goodness and love are divine, the will will bow to the divine and thus liberate the spirit. And a liberated spirit soars …. It leaves the previous narrowness and now moves in all freedom …. Henceforth it is active and inspires the human being to love because it regocnizes love itself as the source of all spiritual …. it is only truly viable in love, and where it expresses itself love must already be rooted in the human being’s heart, otherwise a mental exchange cannot take place and the human being would not be receptive to it either, for the spirit must always speak to the spirit, the spirit can never express itself to a person whose spirit is still in the firm bonds of a wrong will, thus unawakened …. The mental transmissions would pass by the ears of such a person like empty sound. And that is why the will of man is first necessary in order to be able to receive …. The will that has hitherto been overly strong in the worldly must be sacrificed and in its place the holy will must become strong, which seeks the connection with divinity …. It must suppress everything opposing and unconditionally submit to the divine will, thus the spirit will also become lively and communicate to the earthly man what is a blessing for him ….

The power of divine love ….
B.D. 1080 from September 3rd 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The fire spark of divine love will consume everything that resists it, for the strength of love is so great that it conquers everything, and thus every hostile force will have to submit to it unconditionally, albeit after an infinitely long time. And since the eternal deity wants to shorten this time in order to make Its living creations happy far sooner, It constantly endeavours to make the strength of love understandable and thus accessible to the beings in order to enable them to liberate themselves from the form in the shortest possible time and thus to show them the most practicable path which leads to unification with eternal love Itself. And thus it is to be understood that love has a redeeming effect, that …. in order to become truly free …. the being must have become pure love …. It is understandable why the eternal deity gave the commandment of love to people on earth, for since God is love Himself, that which wants to unite with Him must likewise be love, it must likewise merge with the fire of divine love. The more eagerly the human being works on himself and sets himself this goal of union with the supreme being, the brighter the divine flame blazes up in him and longs for the eternal bond with the primordial light, and the more eager the human being’s activity of love on earth is, the more intoxicating the soul feels the approach to the divine spirit of love, admittedly less perceptible to the body but offering the spirit, which is God after all, an immense advantage, for it can now strive out of itself and thus the redemption of the spirit from night and fetters has, so to speak, already taken place through active love …. The power of divine love has conquered what had previously been in battle with the being, and everything that was conquered contributes towards increasing the victorious power, and thus the fiery stream of divine love will always and forever flood the world and all creatures and will never be weakened in itself or flow towards the creatures in meagre measure, but it will seize with omnipotence what opens itself to it, and divine love will flow through every creature so that it forms itself into love and thus immerses itself in the sea of divine love in order to be eternally merged with the eternal deity …. of love itself ….

Cloud formation in the sky …. Christ's suffering and death ….
B.D. 1081 from September 4th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
God, Lord of heaven and earth, will give you a visible sign to testify of His power and glory …. This has been preordained since eternity and will be revealed so obviously that you will marvel at this expression of divine omnipotence and love.
Insubstantial though this little cloud in the sky may appear; it nevertheless harbours a life comparable to that comprising your being. And God will guide this life in accordance with His will too and will therefore arrange this cloud-formation with wise intention in such a way that the Lord’s suffering and death can be easily recognised, and you will identify the One on the cross Whom the world wants to deny …. you will either be seized by horror or shout with joy, depending on whether you reject Him or harbour Him in your heart. The latter will pause in prayer whilst the former, being distant from Jesus Christ, will want to forget this image. And this is what the Lord wants …. He wants to give human beings a sign of His mercy and love to assist their faith …. to either resurrect faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour of the world if they have lost it, or to cause the same to grow into unyielding strength. And humanity will yet again try to disprove this wonder of divine love; it will interpret it as an appearance formed by chance and without meaning …. and will want to dismiss divine providence.
Yet, defying all human explanation, the formation in the sky will remain unchanged for the entire world to view …. And thus even the people whose opinion prohibits any belief in mystical phenomena will become thoughtful. The time has come when humanity can be offered unusual appearances without coercion into faith, because humanity’s thinking has become so dispassionate that they will explain every appearance rationally, i.e. intellectually, no matter how curious it is, denying all spiritual intercession by unknown powers ….
And thus humanity’s free will is no longer endangered by such appearances …. indeed, scientific explanations are far more acceptable than a statement that the formation is a sign from above. And again, only those who aspire towards God and are living in love will recognise this visible act of the eternal Deity; and therefore, once again, the grace of divine love will be presented to people which only few will recognise as such.
The Lord will briefly stop natural law and precisely this should make the scientist think, but when the desire to recognise pure truth is absent even the stars can leave their usual path and the sun lose its shine, it would not bend the hardened will of the human being, he would simply try harder to ascertain the laws of nature and thus ultimately deviate further still from true knowledge. Hence this sign, extraordinary as it may be, will indeed be a direct gift of grace but only for someone whose heart recognises the wonder of the appearance or starts to think about it. However, someone who makes no use of this gift of grace, who coldly views this phenomenon in the sky without any attempt to draw his conclusions, will merely regard it as blind chance of an exceptional nature. His heart is not yet compassionate and therefore not yet receptive for deeper wisdom either ….

Fulfilment of prayer …. Conditions ….
B.D. 1082 from September 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Whoever speaks My name in faith will receive the fullness of My strength and love in his heart. Behold, your body is earthly and everything surrounding you is also earthly in its outer form; but what is within you is, like that which is hidden in the outer form, divine substance, and this feels the input of My strength and experiences it as extremely benevolent. And for that reason you should always regard the spirit within you and disregard all outer appearances. After all, I gave you the form for the maturing of the spirit and will surely know how to maintain it as well. So why do you worry about it? …. Whoever thinks of his soul and concerns himself with its welfare, his body really need not worry about the things it needs …. I gave you everything you can see in creation …. I gave you everything for a purpose …. If you fulfil this purpose you will have in abundance what you require for your body. And if you are anxious, call Me and mention My name with complete faith and you will not suffer earthly hardship …. Whoever trusts in Me completely already lives from My strength and is also master of worldly things because I place all strength into a trusting heart to turn it fully towards Me so that I can take possession of this heart ….
Understand this, My child …. All people on earth are allowed to simply voice their requests and they will be granted fulfilment, providing they call Me in their hearts, believe in Me and sincerely love Me …. Because he who loves Me bows to My will, he who believes in Me does not doubt My power and love, and if he calls on Me he confesses his weakness and, like a fearful child, trustingly comes to the Father …. And I can fulfil his prayer, after all, I Am waiting for the call that arises from the valley of earth to Me. However, where one of these requirements is not fulfilled, where love, faith and trusting prayer are missing, the earthly child has yet to pass tests to find the path to Me. You so often want useless things and if I then don’t answer your prayer you doubt and don’t query the reason; you don’t question to what extent you yourselves may be to blame for not finding fulfilment. Behold, when My true children express their requests to Me they also leave it to Me how to deal with their prayer because they always know that I would not let them go without if it was not necessary for the benefit of their soul. Nor do they ask for anything but what their heart dictates …. and are therefore already clearly guided by the spirit within themselves …. Thus the prayer of such a child always meets My approval and consequently will also find fulfilment. And if you feel the need to ask for something that serves the preservation of your earthly body, the Heavenly Father will surely not deny your request. My children are taken care of with much love and are supplied with everything they require whenever their faith tells them to call My name and to confide in Me because ‘Whatever you ask the Father in My name will be given to you ….’
Amen

Places of worship ….
B.D. 1083 from September 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The buildings you humans created as permanent places for the worship of God hardly correspond to the Lord’s will since thereby the actual worship of God within the human being’s heart has been reduced to a minimum; far more importance is attached to external appearances in houses specially built for this purpose than to the internal contact of a person with the Heavenly Father. Yet this alone must be the foundation of all worship of God. Every action accompanied by a display of splendour lacks profound inwardness, and understandably so, since in so doing the human being is too involved with all earthly matter as to be able to form a simple and intimate bond with the Father in heaven. Where a visual representation intends to motivate something of a spiritual nature there is always the danger that everything visible will be observed and the spiritual aspect neglected …. The earthly child can, in fact, only attain inner calm, inner spiritualisation, when all visual things and those which affect the senses are completely excluded …. Every person has to make an incredible effort and be constantly on guard that earthly longings and earthly thoughts will not gain the upper hand, for to the same degree as they increase the will for the spirit recedes, and then it will be extremely difficult to establish an innermost spiritual contact.
Therefore it is understandable that also all ceremonies, all rites, which effectively intend to illustrate to people something of a spiritual nature are especially suited to externalise a person or make him become superficial. If the human being aims to spiritualise himself of his own accord he will understand how persistently he has to fight against all external influences …. how he must time and again try to disregard everything that goes on around him in order to be able to completely entrust himself to the state of pure spirituality. And all this is not possible in a place where so many people congregate and where rites are regularly performed which require a person’s complete attention but which, on the other hand, divert his attention away from that which alone is important before God …. The human being should not entertain the thought that it will count as a sin if he does not comply with these ceremonies …. The Lord only acknowledges the depth of faith, the degree of love and the earthly child’s absolute submission to its Father …. and anyone who endeavours to do so need not fear the Father’s Judgment either …. he will conduct himself as it pleases the Father and he will look for the core in everything but not for the outer shell …. The Lord takes no notice of the perfectly devised procedures which are nevertheless purely externally conducted but do not touch the core of the matter, because the internalisation of the soul requires a continuous connecting-oneself with the divine Lord and Saviour. And the designated times for the worship of God do not suffice in the slightest to achieve maturity of soul …. Instead, the earthly child has to show God the Lord his love, veneration and his gratitude every hour of the day and constantly strive for spiritual deliverance …. And specified ceremonies are truly not suitable for this, for they are more likely to make the human soul indifferent and even leave it in the mistaken belief that it has complied with divine will. And this is, in view of the spiritual standstill or regression, extraordinarily regrettable, since the human being should make use of every hour in order to work at improving himself and his soul for the purpose of attaining perfection ….

Forecast of events ….
B.D. 1084 from September 6th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Your distant path through life has been shaped by God’s wise counsel into an exceedingly blessed one, and therefore every day is just a rung to climb the height, so to speak, which requires you to work for the lord in the way you are meant to. And that is why everything has to go its own way and you have to endure a violent intrusion into your usual rest for the sake of your soul’s higher development, and in times of need your heart should not fear, for the lord will lovingly stand by your side and strengthen you and your spirit …. Trust and take refuge in Him at all times, who will reward your trust. And now we want to instruct you on behalf of the lord, so that you can tell your fellow human beings about the outcome of the world conflagration. A victorious peace will not be granted to any of the disputants, for the lord Himself will intervene when the time has come. And indeed, those states that were so presumptuous as to break into peaceful lands will cause themselves the greatest damage, for they will fall under divine law. In the not too distant future their fate will already be sealed and the world will clearly regocnize the intervention of a higher power and it will be under sinister pressure because it will also regocnize the injustice of those who rule that country …. And it comes to its senses and longs for peace everywhere …. However, the more obvious the intervention of the eternal deity is, the less attention is paid to these instructions from above, especially in places where people are blinded by a desire for power and greatness. Thousands and thousands of people have to go through hours of utmost despair and yet they do not bring about a change in the people who are in a position of responsibility, and only the firm will of a deeply believing person who regocnizes the necessity of divine intervention and exerts great influence on them prevents further bloodshed …. And let it be said to you that you are already at the beginning of it, let it be said to you that you should make every mention of it, for the time is hurrying and people should already know in advance where it is appropriate, so that they will become the most ardent followers of God’s teaching when the coming event occurs. For you must use every day to work for the lord. Only the will is your strength, for if you want what God’s will is, He works through you, as it were …. And if you now fulfil the lord’s will, you will also have the greatest strength at your disposal. You will certainly lose your outward calm as a result of this event but your faith will be strengthened and your will be prepared to work for the lord without delay. But world events will continue to take their course, only in a different way than it now appears. And from now on the spirit begins to become active and the time has come for the servants of the lord to fulfil their ministry on earth. Therefore, let everything come to you, patiently await the lord’s mission and only ever consider every event in the sense that it is necessary for the maturing of the human soul ….
Amen

Word of God ….
B.D. 1085 from September 7th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
You humans are offered the strongest food and a drink of refreshment when the lord sends you His most holy word …. You hear the voice of the lord, and they are words of love that He speaks to people …. He constantly warns and admonishes the children on earth and offers them an abundance of favours in loving care, yet only little attention is paid to His kind fatherly words and therefore His voice must sound more admonishingly if it is to reach the ears of those who carelessly go through earthly life and leave their souls in dire need. People react differently to God’s word …. Only a few accept it as the most precious good and refresh their souls, but the majority only take note of the word of God in a purely external way. They hear it well, but they do not grasp its meaning …. the words only reach the ear, but not the heart. And so the divine voice will sound louder and the sleepers and dreamers will be startled …. Those who walk along in a dream will suddenly be awakened by the loud audible call from on high …. And the lord will let His voice be heard so powerfully that there will be great horror, for many people will feel guilty and be aware of their lukewarmness. And to whom the realization still comes at the right time the call from above has brought salvation and the lord graciously accepts them into the flock of His sheep. And thus the lord woos His creatures …. the shepherd draws His sheep to shepherd them and lead them into the eternal kingdom. But those who do not heed His call, their path leads to the abyss …. The father in heaven is infinitely long-suffering and patient, but if His love is spurned and His creatures do not find their way back to Him, their reward will be according to their desire …. they will enter the kingdom of darkness, for they despised the voice from above that wanted to bring them salvation from eternal destruction ….

Purpose of the work …. Numerical prediction …. Transmission of inconceivable significance ….
B.D. 1086 from September 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
A momentous work shall be achieved with your co-operation, and one day the strangest opinions will be formed about the origin of this work, and it will be assumed that all documents could only have come about in that through concentrating on a specific school of thought a literary talent developed and that the work created was effectively the result of this mental concentration …. and that the working of supernatural forces was simply due to the writer’s disturbed imagination. Now, however, the Lord is preparing something which will also make these doubters think. He determines the numerical extent of the work’s total volume …. First 2000 (two thousand) chapters will be offered to people which will sufficiently explain everything needed for a person in order to teach uninformed people again. But after that the work will receive a specifically prepared proclamation which presents to people something completely new and extraordinarily informative, for anyone who faithfully accepts this proclamation will also recognise a special mission therein, which will become the writer’s task. The Lord Himself will dictate Words which never before were given to the human race …. These are the Words the Lord spoke to His Own in His most difficult hour but which were never made accessible to the world, since until now humanity has lacked the cognitive faculty for these Words. Jesus’ activity on earth was recorded but not His very Words which are so profoundly significant that even a knowledgeable spirit cannot inspire them; instead the divine Lord and Saviour alone must be the Speaker of these Words ….
And in order to receive this transmission an extremely willing heart is required whose sole desire consists of being able to accept the Saviour within itself and which directs all its senses towards this sacred experience, and only under these conditions can a gift like this be imparted to the earthly child. The more tenderly this heart beats towards the Saviour the more clearly and understandably can this Word be imparted to it, for this requires an extraordinarily willing and receptive heart as well as absolute faith. And once this transmission has been given to the earthly child a mission of such incredible significance will have been fulfilled which you humans are incapable of assessing. This work shall survive for endless times and forever testify to God’s infinite love and kindness for His children and to His forbearance, patience and mercy. After it is finished the battle against the divine Word will set in, and then it will become obvious and be revealed that no-one can refute this divine Word. And it will be willingly accepted where previously there was still opposition to it. And so the work will become established amongst humanity and convey strength and grace to all who do not close their mind to the proclamations and thus willingly receive God’s grace.
Amen

Entering into the will of God …. (after reading the catholic book about will)
B.D. 1087 from September 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Behold, My child, in My creation are countless God-connected souls, some perfect, some struggling for perfection, and this is not only the merit of the individual but My immense love drew these creatures to Me and tried to help them in their struggle for perfection. If only one of My beings carries the desire for Me in its heart and complies with it, thus does what seems right to it in order to enter into contact with Me, then it already submits itself to My will and I can then easily guide it and also reveal Myself to such a being. The slightest inclination towards Me causes Me to seize the being created by Me and not to let it fall anymore. The more intimately this creature now joins Me, the more effectively My love can also express itself and consequently the process of refinement will start and the success of it will be recognizable within a very short time. I alone feel the sincerity of the requests, I alone regocnize the degree of love which is meant for Me, I also see the soul’s struggle for perfection and therefore I also know what is right to offer the earthly child, for nothing in its inner life is secret to Me. I therefore enliven the spirit to the same degree as love is turned towards Me, and this leads the earthly child to the right knowledge, it introduces it to the right truth. Anyone who serves Me with deeds submits himself to My will, for I have made activity a law for you, and if you diligently remain active and integrate yourselves into the laws of divine order, My spirit of love will look after you and make itself known to you. And the active labour of love alone makes you My true children and also enables you to receive My word …. I do not demand of you earthly children a spectacle before the whole world, I am always content with your serious will to act according to My will, then I will also guide the earthly child such that it will always find its way closer to Me and it will no longer need to walk alone on earth. And if it hears My word it must have already subordinated its will to Mine and thus have entered into My will …. However, it must also not let up in its struggle for perfection and therefore always and repeatedly long for Me from the bottom of its heart, then it will also uninterruptedly surrender its own will and no formality is needed to prove this to the outside world. What you think and strive for in your innermost being is only valid before Me, for I do not need any confirmation of it since your thinking is sufficiently known to Me. And I bless the one whose spirit rises up to Me of its own accord and he will truly feel My blessing. Man is so incredibly short-sighted who takes an example from those who flaunt their piety before the whole world, for the truly pious person hides himself and dialogues with his creator in a quiet chamber. And if you do anything publicly …. if you are only interested in displaying a perfect being, you will already have your reward on earth, for humanity will honour and admire you. Yet My true children get lost in the world’s hustle and bustle, they fight their way through and offer resistance to the world and its temptations, and it is far more valuable to make contact with their creator in the midst of the world and to surrender to Him and submit to His will. And you will regocnize it where the truth is offered, for the word of God, which the lord imparts to those who truly fulfil His will, is everlasting …. And thus it is unequivocally proven that earthly ecclesiastical power only grants permission where its commandments were complied with at the same time, and thus what was examined under such conditions cannot be of value, for the examiners themselves lack all higher knowledge. Yet I lovingly take care of the souls who long for Me and ensure their spiritual progress, for My love applies to all My earthly children who carry Me in their hearts ….

Necessity of divine intervention ….
B.D. 1088 from September 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
All the world will be informed and all the world will feel the hand of the lord, for it is His will that a change should take place and that humanity should turn more towards the spiritual and not completely fall flat in the age of materialism. And anyone who pays attention to the things which are to bring about this change will also regocnize how infinitely necessary the intervention of the eternal deity is …. he will have to admit that only a violent intervention can still bring about a transformation of humanity and that the time for this has also come, for no matter how sorrowfully the events on earth burden people, they will not find their way back to a deep faith in their creator and saviour through them either, for they are secularized to the utmost. A small circle may well feel the hand of the lord and find their way back to Him, yet this does not remedy the general spiritual state, on the contrary, they increasingly deny a deity Who guides and directs everything on earth. And all efforts to spare people the most painful events are in vain …. And so the earth will open up and humanity will be shaken and wobbled elsewhere …. and the father in heaven will stretch out His hand towards His children so that they may seize him who regocnizes Him in deepest adversity, and people’s suffering will exceed everything that has happened so far …. for previously people themselves were the originators of their tribulations and were also able to remove them themselves, but here even the most powerful person on earth will be powerless, every person will regocnize his powerlessness in the face of this event and only one path will remain for him to save himself …. the supplication to God …. And all stubbornness and self-importance will be an obstacle to this path …. Only he who small and humbly desires help will find fulfilment, but often only in a spiritual way. But man’s life on earth is not the epitome of bliss …. Whoever loses this life and gains his eternal life has sacrificed far less than he receives …. And God’s judgement is infinitely wise and just …. It is not anger or revenge that causes Him to intervene but His infinite love and mercy, for He regocnizes best the unspeakable danger and adversity that spiritually threatens man and must be averted in time. And you should neither quarrel nor be angry if you want to make use of God’s goodness. Trustingly take refuge under His protection and not a hair on your head will be harmed in this time of adversity. And when the night descends upon you in an oppressive manner, know that you are close to it and pray that the lord will spare you, and He will stand by His own and avert the calamity …. And submit yourselves to His will, for He truly knows better what is good for each one of you, and so let Him rule Who loves His living creations on earth with all His heart …. And everything He allows to happen on earth only has its explanation in this love …. He wants to save the souls standing on the edge of the abyss from eternal ruin ….

The new spiritual kingdom …. overthrow of earthly power ….
B.D. 1089 from September 11th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The greatness of the mighty will diminish and his light will fade, and he who exalts himself above all will lose his glory and honour. For the lord has set limits for everyone, and whoever sits on a high throne will fall …. whoever rules will have to serve or sink into poverty and hardship. For there is a ruler enthroned above all earthly things, and he exalts the small and sets them above the great. And a kingdom will arise, ruled by love, which will harbour true brothers within its borders, and one will serve the other and only respect the will of the one Who is incomparably loving, kind and just. Everything that is hostile to this kingdom will be weakened, and so the power of the former will increase and the power of those who seek a feud with Him will be weak and void. And where the lord lifts up the weak and overthrows the mighty, there the world regocnizes the will of God, and it regocnizes His justice, wisdom and omnipotence. And those who bow to this realization, who surrender and humbly submit to the laws of divine order and do not rebel against them, will still be assigned an office. They will be informed of the surprising successes of all those who serve the lord, and they will come together from all over the world, and the most peculiar indications and interpretations will all have the same purpose …. the community of those who are to bring the new kingdom to life spiritually will be formed. And thus the lord God will bring together those who are of the same spirit, He will enlighten every heart so that it regocnizes the father’s voice and follows it. And these will then succeed in making the new kingdom blossom, and it will mature in the spirit, it will bear glorious fruit …. and those who are of the same spirit will support the servants of the lord and help to build up the spiritual kingdom, which no longer looks to the world, no longer to earthly rank and power and glory, but only longs for the power of the spiritual and divine glory. The fact that the world must now pay its tribute in order to bear witness to the glory of God is of such infinite value for the whole of humanity, for only when everything spiritual has dominated the earthly, the worldly, will the spiritual have triumphed and disputed the rank of the world with its strife and contention, its splendour and pomp. The power of the spiritual will remain strong and therefore considerably superior to all matter, and therefore the end will and must also be near, which will bring a complete separation from the spiritual and all matter …. People will be offered fullest enlightenment but if they reject it the world will have to be afflicted by all kinds of disaster, for only then is a final salvation possible and a turning of the creature towards its creator …. Therefore watch out for the time when the earthly power will fall and know that then the time has come which will bring the spiritual kingdom close to you; know that you then have to decide to belong to it for all times or to be cast out for time and eternity ….
Amen

Eternal home …. deeds on earth …. activity of love ….
B.D. 1090 from September 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
Follow Me into the spiritual kingdom, which is your home and which shall one day arise before your eyes in incomparable beauty. Behold, nothing on earth can replace what will be offered to your senses if you leave the earth, and likewise you will one day be offered a substitute in the beyond for everything you gave away on earth for My sake …. a replacement, however, which far surpasses everything beautiful on earth, for eternal bliss is still unimaginable to you, unimaginable both in its nature as well as in its tremendous effect, for not in the remotest way can happiness on earth be compared to this heavenly bliss …. not in the remotest way can man visualize the wonders of creation, which to see makes a being standing in the light so unspeakably happy. And just as nothing in the universe stands still, so too will seeing in the beyond always offer new impressions, an eternal change of these will prevent the being from becoming tired or indifferent, it will look and look and sink into ever new delights and sing thanks and praise to the creator of heaven and earth for all eternity. And in an unlimited period of aeons of years the spiritual state of My beings will be so exceedingly high that they will come ever closer to Me and I will present Myself to them in a visible way …. I know no barriers between My beings and Me if they do not erect them themselves …. Every child can partake of these delights on earth if it overcomes these very barriers and approaches Me with all love and humility. Yet in the life beyond the possibility of making contact with Me is not so easy, for the deeds of earthly life are always taken into consideration, and if these do not correspond to My will it is incredibly difficult, for every feeling of inner peace, of inner bliss, is always based on a certain degree of loving activity, and thus a being which has not complied with the latter at all cannot lay claim to happiness in the beyond. Nor could it behold the beatitudes because it is not receptive to light either due to the lack of love and therefore correspondingly meagre merit on earth and thus has by no means yet reached the state of light which promises it full vision in spirit. The only way to eternal bliss is through one’s own heart. If this is switched off and only the head and intellect are instructed to solve this or that question about the beyond, then this question remains closed to the earthly child and thus also the spiritual vision, which is only then opened up to the earthly child when it is to form itself into higher abilities which, however, are always conditioned by eager striving for perfection. And therefore the earthly child must often bear in mind that in order to attain eternal bliss it should use its path of life in such a way that it educates itself to love …. that love determines everything it does and thus the degree of love always remains the key in order to be able to pass through the gate to eternity with the prospect of an exceedingly glorious beyond which promises all the delights and joys of heaven to the one who formed this love on earth and, as a being thus formed, found the path to the eternal home ….

Outer behaviour of the human being …. inner life ….
B.D. 1091 from September 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
A person’s external behaviour does not always reveal his spiritual state, and spiritual aspirations do not always have such an effect that they allow outsiders a clear insight into the person’s inner life. And thus people often draw the wrong conclusions, the behaviour does not seem to unite with what the person is actually striving for and may therefore often lead to wrong conclusions. And yet such a concealment of the true fact is likewise permitted by the lord so that people will endeavour to make a just judgement and not exalt or judge a person according to what is outwardly apparent. Anyone who, with the intention of serving the lord God, always endeavours to bring outward actions into harmony with all inner feelings will hardly give the world any cause for deliberate deception …. The more clearly and freely a person shapes his inner life, the easier it will be to regocnize his whole life on earth on the outside, and accordingly his fellow human being will be driven to attain the same spiritual maturity, for he will now clearly regocnize the influence of good spiritual strength …., on the other hand, whoever hides himself, i.e. does not allow his fellow human beings to see his true soul image, also runs the risk of being misjudged and his earthly task will be correspondingly more difficult to solve, since the spiritual powers are not available to him who closes himself off in the same proportion as is the case with an earthly child who also outwardly fulfils every commandment of love. Therefore, people who also outwardly prove their piety are far more likely to be accepted with faith, for a person often only grasps it when the deep meaning of all actions can be regocnized. However, anyone whose actions completely contradict the commandments of neighbourly love can never be of divine origin and the effects of his actions will never result in the ennoblement of his fellow human beings, instead, the number of those who despise and condemn his actions will increase, and consequently such a person will not be or will be little suited to revive the laws of love for God and his neighbour among mankind, for if his own actions do not correspond to this highest commandment, he will also find few fellow human beings who will endeavour to imitate him, and therefore the word applies here too: “By their fruits you will regocnize them ….”, and you should always bear this in mind if you have doubts about the value of man ….

Countervailing powers uninvolved in natural events ….
B.D. 1092 from September 14th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
The course of the world is conditioned by an eternally constant lawfulness, and therefore one or the other world, i.e. the individual world bodies, cannot arbitrarily subordinate themselves to other laws which would be contrary to those of the eternal deity …. It is therefore also impossible that the forces from the underworld could participate in any way in the governance of creation or express their power in such a way that the effects of this would be recognizable as contrary to the divine will. It would be absurd, for example, to assume that God could hand over His creations to forces other than those serving Him so that they could influence the creations in a destructive or degrading way; and it would be even less conceivable that these forces could elevate themselves to ruling opponents of the eternal deity, directing the entire creation, for everything in the universe is subject to divine will without exception …. And the opposing force is only permitted to test its power on the soul embodied in the human being …. just as, on the one hand, it can weaken human will and resistance to the utmost, but can also cause it to put up the greatest resistance and thus also stimulate the human soul to the highest activity. But the power of the adversary by no means goes beyond this. And if one now wanted to believe that forces opposing God could express themselves in creation, this is a huge error …. The course of the world will remain the same for eternities, and all celestial bodies, all suns, all world bodies will move in the order predetermined for them since eternity, and every change will still be based on the wise plan of the creator, which has likewise been determined since eternity. And this should now also explain that the creator of all things is also now at work, that such great changes will affect one of His works of creation, the earth, which could easily lead the ignorant to assume that here the opposing power …. evil in the spiritual world …. is unleashing its immense powers to run riot and cause confusion among people …. The demons are certainly at work, but not directly …. in the transformation of the earth’s surface …. but they have exerted their influence on the human soul and so completely weakened its will to resist and forced its will upon itself that the deity now wants to put an end to this activity and thus wants to prove Its perfection of power, which extends across all areas, to humanity in order to turn its mind towards Itself, since it is not possible otherwise, the human being’s free will shall remain untouched and yet the soul, which has already become too deeply entangled in the enemy’s nets, shall be offered help in its dreadful situation. And that is why mankind’s thinking should concern itself a little more with the origin of all creations. Anyone who looks at everything that has been created and is able to regocnize the will to love which motivated the creator of all things to bring everything into being will also regocnize the wisdom which guides and directs everything that has been created …. And thus he will also regocnize the hand of the divine creator in all events which have their origin in the workings of nature …. And he will realize that everything has to come about and happen this way because God, the creator of heaven and earth, cannot do anything that has not been considered extremely wisely since eternity ….
Amen
