Erroneous view of overzealous servants …. God's word ….
B.D. 1165 from November 7th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
You see, not all people have the desire to serve Me and fulfil My will, and it is often extremely difficult to reveal My will to them in consideration of their free will. It is like a secret escape from everything that could bring people clarity. The souls fearfully remain within self-created boundaries and do not dare to cross them. Time and again I approach such blind people in spirit and want to bring them light …. I lead them to those who regocnize and want to change their mind, but it is unbending and yet caught up in error. And that is why I strengthen the power of those who listen to Me, I kindle the glow of love in their hearts …. I draw them ever closer to Me and admonish them to faithfully endure …. I help them to resist the enemy’s temptations, I give them clarity and steadfastness in faith and protect them from spiritual decline. So many are still under the mistaken impression that My love has exhausted itself in proclaiming My word …. Again and again My voice may be heard by those who sacrifice their will to Me. And the eternal truth will always remain the same, My word will always and forever be the same, unchanged word which I Myself gave to My disciples on earth. Yet all human additions will give rise to disputes …. But where I Myself separate the lie from the truth, there men shall not be offended by My word …. Everything in heaven and on earth is subject to Me. Why should I not take care of My earthly children anew and send My messengers to them to initiate them into the purest, most divine teaching? And how rarely do I find the devoted will of an earthly child who believes My voice more than the words of the world …. I regocnize the zeal of My servants on earth but warn them against all overzealousness, which can lead to the alienation of My own and is truly no service to Me. The world does not interpret My word correctly, it does not separate the pure desire for truth from all kinds of cravings for knowledge, which have nothing to do with spiritual knowledge. A person can certainly want to take a look into the beyond for base reasons which do not meet with My approval, but if he is only driven by the desire to come closer to the pure truth and thus to fathom the essence of the deity, then the desire is for Me and I will also fulfil such a desire at any time. You humans do not realize the immense responsibility you take upon yourselves when you act contrary to My will or try to persuade your fellow human beings to resist Me …. You seek power elsewhere …. You prefer to attribute it to the adversary and don’t consider that My love alone wants to create the opportunity for you humans to easily enter into contact with Me. Where My love expresses itself you only see the effect of evil power …. You forget that My might is above everything and that I truly would not allow My name to be misused in such a way and that dishonest power of the soul makes use of the one who gives Me all his will …. A child who calls upon Me for help and protection against all evil will truly not need to do without My help, and anyone who wants to serve Me has lost the adversary’s power over him …. But he who does not regocnize his lord when He speaks to him, his struggle on earth will still be difficult, for he did not receive the strength which should make his path through life easier. Yet those who serve Me faithfully and surrender to Me in strong faith shall receive My blessing ….
Amen

Adversary …. (response to warning from clergy)
B.D. 1166 from November 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
This shall make My will known to you that the spiritual spark has come alive in you, that you have awakened the divine within yourselves and have therefore received a divine gift from Me. And so remain in My love and pay no attention to what approaches you from outside but only follow the voice within you, for it will guide you on the right path. Whose heart should I consider if not that of the believing earthly child who is devoted to Me? What power can possibly act contrary to My will, and what fruits does a power turned away from Me produce? Behold, if I want to help the earthly child and answer its faithful prayer, the adversary will never be able to reach this child as long as it is devoted to Me …. And what should the adversary strive for? To proclaim divine teachings to people? Remember that you are disciples of My name …. You are to fight for Me and My name and are therefore in My pay. The teachings of darkness, however, pursue a different purpose …. that of final separation from Me. You, My children, must be strong in faith and pass every test if you are to be able to work for Me and My name one day. For behold, many temptations will still come upon you, the world will set itself against you and try to force you down, and that also by virtue of the word which the adversary gives them. And then you shall be able to stand your ground, you shall fight them with the sword of your mouth …. You shall make My words known to them …. you shall lend Me your mouth so that I can speak through it. And therefore you must stand firm in faith. You must not waver and give the adversary power over you through doubt or weak faith. Come to Me so that I may strengthen your faith and receive from My hand what makes you resistant to all hostilities from outside. It is My word which gives you strength and grace. If you are in closest union with Me you are also in the circuit of My love and grace, and this will not let you fall if you only strive to fulfil My will. Humanity’s thinking still takes very wrong paths and even those who want to serve Me have not yet become aware of the divine spirit within themselves, hence they are still groping in the dark and yet reject the light which is supposed to bring them enlightenment …. I lead and guide everyone towards My word, yet they take a different path and search and investigate in the distance, and I stand so close to them and would also like to unite My spirit with their spirit so that I Myself could teach them …. In humanity’s spiritual adversity they do not yet regocnize the urgency of My help, and thus they do not regocnize Me Myself either, where I would like to help this spiritual adversity. However, if they want to regocnize the spirit of love in Me then it should also be understandable to them that I cannot let My earthly children languish and that I therefore have to help them extraordinarily so that they will not lose faith in Me. And those I choose are under My protection …. They shall not be touched until they have fulfilled their mission, nor shall they need to suffer if only they come to Me in faith in all adversity and appeal for My help, for those who fulfil My will are My children and I will not leave them in the adversity of their soul …. And all of you who have not yet found the path to Me, let it be said to you: He Who is enthroned in heaven and Whom everything must obey does not allow Himself to be mocked …. and much less will He allow those to speak evil against Him in His name …. And He will not allow a child to become their sacrifice who lifts up his hands in supplication to the father in heaven and desires the purest truth ….
Amen

Prayer ….
B.D. 1167 from November 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
And so you should persevere in prayer, for you are weak little children who always need the father’s help. And your concern should always be to prove yourselves worthy of His help, for whatever the father in heaven does for you He does out of love for you. If you now want to possess this love of His you must prove to Him that you are His children by complying with His will …. And for this you need strength, which you should implore in faithful prayer. And therefore prayer is the first rung upwards; the earthly child is able to do everything if it resorts to prayer, for the father Himself has given you the promise with His words: Ask and it will be given to you …. knock and it will be opened to you …. Every call that comes from the heart reaches the father and will also be heard if it is useful for the salvation of a person’s soul. The power of prayer is so great that undreamt-of spiritual strength is sent to help the earthly child and every request is granted if it is in accordance with the will of the heavenly father. Yet only prayer which is sent up to the father in humble supplication and childlike trust can be answered …. prayer must reflect the right relationship with God …. As a child presents its request to the father, so the asking earthly child should come to Him with every request, in Whose power alone it lies to fulfil every request. Prayer is the conscious connection with God …. For prayer also presupposes the belief that a higher power has all authority and that God loves His creatures. It proves that the creature regocnizes its creator …. prayer establishes the right relationship between the two, and prayer proves the desire of the earthly child for the father of the universe. And thus, when you pray and present your request to the lord, you acknowledge the original spirit, Who is your origin, and you enter the bridge which leads to reunification, for prayer is the first step towards the father …. prayer is the only way to ascend from the abyss, for it is through prayer that the earthly child receives the strength and vigour to start working on itself, on its soul, and thus to bridge the gulf which separates it from the father …. And if the human being has to endure battles of whatever kind, prayer is always the refuge to the one Who can put an end to everything that is difficult …. If you pray correctly, i.e. in spirit and in truth, your supplications will be heard so that you will become strong in faith in His love and omnipotence ….
Amen

Divine blessing …. striving for higher development of the soul ….
B.D. 1168 from November 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 20
I promise My blessing to those who follow Me, who do everything that corresponds to the commandment of divine love and who completely subordinate themselves to My will. And thus he will be able to enjoy My constant benevolence who unconditionally gives everything on earth in order to receive spiritual possessions. He will be certain of My constant blessing and need not suffer hardship, for if the soul is offered to Me then the body shall not go hungry either, so that the work on the soul will not be impaired. There must be no end to the endeavour on earth, for as long as the human being remains on earth he is offered opportunities which serve his perfection. The end of earthly life is set for everyone in wise foresight of what is to come, and since no-one knows his end in advance, the time on earth is to be utilized so that the recall can come every day without frightening him. And all endeavours should be directed towards the higher development of the soul, but concern for the body should be put second. It is incomparably more valuable for the soul to think of the welfare of one’s fellow human beings than to constantly consider one’s own welfare. The human being in his outer shell is transient, this only serves the purpose of harbouring the soul within itself, thus the soul should also always be considered first and the human being should only use all opportunities as such which can serve the well-being of the soul. And so man’s life on earth is only of value when the life of the soul is cultivated, when every thought of man is for his spiritual good …. The ailments of the body are often necessary to support the soul when it begins to become lukewarm and careless. The work for the salvation of the soul must be constant and uninterrupted if the earthly path is to bring it the final maturity. The short time on earth, which seems difficult to you, will seem insignificant to you in view of the glory which you may receive in return when earthly life has brought you perfection. And if you now follow Me, if you make an effort to become perfect and fulfil all My commandments with a joyful heart, if you do nothing without Me and ask for My strength for everything you do on earth, you will remain in My love and I will bless you. And life will become easy for you if you put your spiritual well-being before everything else and live earthly life according to My will. And so always ask for My blessing, for My grace, so that the path on earth will seem easy for you and you will reach your goal ….
Amen
