Everything on earth has its purpose, and nothing has emerged from God without meaning or purpose; therefore, also the course of development of all spiritual substance must progress incessantly. The still will-less spiritual is seized by God’s will, which requires (some) matter, and the spiritual therein is now forced to serve. So, the course of development is as it were inevitably secured. The spiritual must go the way determined for it, even if its will would like to direct itself against it. Thus, God mercifully takes care of all beings which emerged from Him and secures their higher development in order to be able to shorten the path to the state of free will, for the being would fail in this if the distance from God were even greater than it is now, due to the long course before during the embodiment as a human being. It would require far greater strength of will to defy all opposition, and the human being would hardly be able to muster this strength of resistance as his will to reject God would still be too great. Hence, the being must allow itself to be shaped according to God’s will, and now serves in a state of compulsion, whereas the human being, in a certain freedom of will, must decide to serve in order to develop his soul higher. Only service brings final redemption, for through the human being’s free will service is now a sign of love, and this must underlie every action. However, if matter is utilised by the human being …., that is, forced to serve …. and this serving action does not correspond to God’s will, then the spiritual substance will indeed be redeemed, but the shackle from which the spiritual substance has escaped will envelop the human being’s soul, who has initiated such an act against God’s will, and it will be unimaginably burdened, and its own liberation will be jeopardised as a result. And so, the human being can misuse his free will and set matter tasks which completely contradict divine will, and the spiritual substance within matter has to comply with the human being, and serve him even though he demands the wrong things from the being. The adversary uses this means in order to subjugate both the human being himself as well as the spiritual within matter. The human being has to answer for it, but the spiritual withinin matter does not, since it is forced to do something that is wrong before God. For it cannot resist as long as it is still bound in form, and also does not have the power of realisation which is necessary to be able to be held responsible for its actions. However, this is inherent in the human being, for he will certainly be able to differentiate between good and evil, and if his behaviour now visibly corresponds to evil he is now abusing his free will. He does not redeem himself during his earthly existence but his state of soul remains a low one through his own fault ….

Amen

The inwardly matured human being will completely harmonise himself with the divine will, for his feelings can only approve what corresponds to God’s will. He will make contact with the divine spirit in every situation in life, thus, if he is willing to do what is right, he will be instructed by this divine spirit and also now yield to the urge of the heart, which expresses the voice of the divine spirit. This is not a forced way of acting, for his will already strives for the good, so the will subordinates itself to the will of God. It is the will to act right before God, the unconscious utilisation of divine grace, for the working of the spirit through the human being is a grace which God imparts to those who desire it. The will to do good is also the will toward God, and God Himself comes to meet the willing and gives him the strength to carry out what his will strives for. If the human being now consciously makes contact with God through prayer, grace will flow to him in abundance, for now the human being has found union with God, he recognises God and now seeks to serve Him, whereas before he certainly strived for the noble but still thought himself to be alone, because he did not recognise the eternal Deity. (2.9.1940) Everything that is good and noble already belongs to God in its essence, even if it is not fully conscious of it. It is part of love and is therefore close to God, and the power from God must communicate itself to it, because it stands in the circuit of divine love. But he must also inevitably come to recognise the Deity if he is working with love, for through love the outer shells dissolve and let the spirit free, and this now instructs him, and gives him knowledge of all things in and around himself. And now the human being becomes knowledgeable, which is spiritual progress. He enters into conscious contact with the spiritual in the beyond, and is taught, thus brought ever closer to the eternal Deity, which is the goal and purpose of earthly life. Hence the right knowledge is not due to intellectual work but to the inner state of the heart. If a person is good and noble he shall also be rich in knowledge …. of such knowledge which has value for eternity …. For earthly wisdom loses all value with the death of the one who stands in such wisdom …. Earthly knowledge is irrelevant, indeed, it can even prevent a person from accepting spiritual knowledge, because spiritual knowledge usually does not correspond to earthly knowledge, and this is not the case so the person with earthly knowledge is incapable of loving actions, that is, if love has not yet come alive in him and his spiritual state is still very devoid of light. Then all wisdom in which he believes to stand is only profitable for earthly life, but not for the life that follows after bodily death ….

Amen

The state of suffering on earth is still increasing and people can expect immense misery, hardship and sorrow. And it must be so, for without this man will not find his way to God. A time will come that is as difficult as people have never experienced before; all hope will fade, all courage will sink and the heaviest pressure will weigh on humanity, caused by unspeakable suffering, illnesses and tribulations of every kind. And yet, all this will be bearable in firm faith in God, for where a person does not walk alone but has made God his confidant, God shall always be present, and man will not be weighed down by the adversity and will not feel the great suffering. Yet only a few will draw strength and comfort from God, only a few will find strength in the divine Word and only a few will be spared by trusting in God’s help through His will …. For faith has been lost, it is a time of complete apostasy from God. And therefore, the Lord knocks once again on the hearts of His earthly children, He makes Himself known through His Word and announces to them the difficult time and the battle on earth, and He shall accept all those who come to Him in this adversity and ask for His help. He takes care of His children’s adversity Himself by using every conceivable means in order to announce the coming time to people as a time of horror and misery. He does not want people to meet fate unprepared, He wants them to unite with Him beforehand in order to be able to avert the great suffering from them. He wants to win His living creations for Himself but shall not grant the adversary power over them. And therefore, He announces the difficult time beforehand and instructs those who want to hear His Word. He is full of kindness and gentleness and only wants to speak to His children with love. Yet they do not hear the kind and loving words, and thus He has to show His might so that people will fear Him and then learn to love Him, He has to reveal Himself to them as the Lord of Creation so that they will recognise Him as Ruler and ask for His love. Yet where people believe in Him, there is no need for proof of His power, for love has already awakened in them, and love fulfils what God requires …. God’s love is unchanging, it will always and constantly apply to His children who are in danger of losing themselves …. And this love wrestles for your souls, it seeks to make itself known, and anyone who lives with love himself, will also recognise divine love. He will recognise the loving guidance through all horrors and suffering of the forthcoming time, and he will trustingly abandon himself to the Eternal Love, and await this time without fear and trepidation. And the Lord shall remember them when the time has come. He shall guide them carefully through it, He shall let all adversity pass them by, He shall strengthen and comfort them where they are anxious and fearful, and He will reveal Himself in times of greatest need …. For the Father in Heaven knows His own and He has promised them His protection, that all suffering will be taken away from them if they raise their hands to Him in supplication. The human being only has to believe in God’s love, kindness and mercy …. And he must lead a righteous life …. He must always strive for good and avoid evil, he must persevere in fervent prayer and expect God’s help with full faith. Then he will emerge from the time of tribulation unscathed in body and soul, for God is close to all those who recognise Him, love Him and childlike trustingly hand themselves over to Him and ask for His mercy ….

Amen

The commandment of neighbourly love certainly obliges you to do deeds which are of service to your neighbour, yet if you only accomplish these deeds without feeling love for your neighbour you are certainly making an effort to comply with the divine commandment and this will be credited to you as good will, however, such deeds lack redeeming strength. It is more a consequence of the fact that you fear God but not that you love Him …. that you certainly recognise His power but not His love, kindness and mercy …. A mighty Lord you will fear, but a loving, kind and merciful Lord, on the other hand, you will love with all the intimacy of your heart. And so you only recognise God as the Lawgiver, you respect His commandment, but you do not hear the voice of love in this Word, which only wants to let the strength flow to you by admonishing you to love. Love is the only way in which you can gain possession of the most precious thing, the strength from God; thus you must first try to awaken this feeling in yourselves, you must regard your neighbour as your brother who has emerged from the same as you yourselves …. You must bear his suffering and sorrows in mind and feel with him, and now try to reduce this suffering for him …. You must fulfil the divine commandments because your heart impels you to do so, and you must always think of yourselves in the same situation, then you will have compassion for your neighbour and try to improve his fate or help him carry it. And then the strength from God can flow to you, you will receive the love you give back a thousandfold, for ‘with the measure you use, it will be measured to you ….’ And being allowed to receive God’s love makes life easy for you, and you will then want to give with full hands to the one who suffers in body and soul. However, you must always kindle love in yourselves …. and do everything of your own free will, not just in order to fulfil your duty. For every work accomplished with love awakens love in return, and only then will a person have a redeeming effect, when love becomes active in him ….

Amen

Great spiritual successes can be achieved through a joyful co-operation as long as it is aimed at spreading the divine teaching. People must not set themselves a limit which they feel it is inadmissible to cross, but all their thoughts and endeavours must be directed towards serving God by promoting and contending for His Word where it is necessary. No opportunity should be missed to proclaim the teaching of Christ to people as God presents it from above. For when this teaching is received, it will touch the heart and cause people to reflect, then the Spirit from God shall work directly in those people who are willing to listen to Him. The words will ignite and kindle a holy fire in the hearts of those who accept them as divine mission. And it will exert an unspeakably beneficial influence, people shall be willing to love and turn to God in heartfelt devotion, and they shall long for the bread of heaven and gratefully receive it, for the divine spirit of love will flow into the hearts of people who see the refreshment of their souls in the Word of God. And He takes hold of them and never lets them go …. For God’s Word is strength which emanates from Him …. It is God Himself Who utters Himself and lovingly leans towards those who recognise Him as Father, and childishly desire His Word. And so the Word Itself comes to you, you should receive it and pass it on, so that the spiritual hardship amongst humanity will be remedied, and the community of believers will increase. And this shall be your consolation, that the Lord is present where He is longed for, for He is in the hearts of people who seek Him, love Him and want to serve Him, once they have found Him. If all who are of the same spirit unite, the church of Christ will be strong and unconquerable, for Jesus Christ Himself will lead it and be in the midst of those who proclaim His Word, and speak in His honour ….

Amen

Where is the truth ….

Once a person recognises the truth, he will always do what is right, for his spirit will guide him correctly. The human being’s thoughts may occasionally move into areas which have not yet been presented to his knowledge, but then the human being will not persist in his opinion either, instead he will have the feeling of not yet being able to provide information, and will be cautious with his assertions. However, in order to spread error, his will is too inclined towards the truth, and this will protects him from erroneous speech. A question may remain unsolved but it will soon find its solution through the divine spirit, which is now active by correctly guiding the human being’s thinking and suddenly giving him the power of realisation to perceive the answer he has received as truth, and he can now also defend it. The divine spirit does not allow the thinking of the truth-seeker to stray onto the wrong track in matters of dispute. And consequently, what people receive mentally can be expressed with complete conviction, for truth is conveyed to those seeking truth in the form of thoughts, and consequently every thought is correct as long as only God is invoked as the Eternal Truth if the human being is in doubt of his own accord. And that is enough for you to know that the truth will always be where the spirit of God can be effective, and the spirit of God can only proclaim one truth; consequently, conflicting teachings must originate from different sources …. It must be examined purely objectively which results agree with the pure, unadulterated teaching of Christ …. Only these guarantee complete truthfulness …. However, where divine power, even though it was desired, encountered resistance in the form of existing teachings which stood in opposition to the pure doctrine of Christ, man himself erected a barrier to divine activity, and forces of the opposing power sought to strengthen precisely these erroneous teachings, by tying in with the will of the human being, who does not want to depart from the falsified teaching, and by influencing the human being wrongly, which, however, is only possible with people to whom the teaching they were previously commanded is more important than God Himself …. Anyone who trustingly hands himself over to God alone must carry the truth in his spirit, and if God’s revelations are conveyed to his fellow human beings unadulterated, they must correspond in every detail; for God, as the Eternal Truth, only ever gives His children the same truth, and deviating results are the product of the one who fights against the truth …. For the adversary will always take care to spread error, he will leave no stone unturned to disguise the clear truth, and he succeeds best where he has already done the groundwork, which has met with approval. There he is willingly listened to. People, however, who have never paid attention to his work but see their teacher in God alone can only ever receive the purest truth, for they receive it from God’s hand because they ask God Himself for enlightenment in heartfelt prayer, and thus the spirit from God can work within them directly ….

Amen

The One Who gave you life will also know how to preserve it, so it is His will, and anyone who entrusts his life to the Creator of Heaven and Earth with complete faith, will not need to fear for it even if he is in greatest danger. The earthly child only has to be faithful and trust God, so the Heavenly Father is to take care of him. And the hour will come when every person will have to prove their faith and trust in God …. And this hour shall not be conjured up by human will or human activity, but it shall remind people to remember the One Who rules over the elements. And what you experience in that hour will determine your future life, for your future life will be shaped in the same way as you accept God’s mission. If you turn to the Father in faithful trust, He will never leave you without protection and help, and you will remain His children until the end of your life, and one day in eternity. But if you do not find the path to Him, then your fate on earth as well as in the beyond shall be a difficult one, for if you continue your earthly life, you will have to struggle in order to attain spiritual realisation, so the hour of such an experience did not enlighten your spirit. For then you will determine your own state in the beyond. Spiritual adversity, however, requires divine intervention, and this is by no means arbitrary, but people can avert the severe consequences from themselves, if they seek heartfelt contact with God. The surrender of one’s own will allows divine will to become effective, and divine will protects the earthly child from destruction, it secures the life of the soul and also of the body, if such is still necessary for the soul. Having handed your life over to the Lord of Heaven and Earth will remove all anxiety from you, you know that your life lies in God’s hands and accept now what He sends to you …. And it will truly be the best for you, for God knows His children, and He considers them according to the state of their soul. Thus the human being will also have to suffer according to his state of soul, if his will does not find its way to God in any other way ….

Amen

It is a blessed hour in which you place yourself at the Lord’s disposal and ask for His grace. For every proclamation corresponds to God’s will, provided you entrust yourself to Him in prayer. There are countless souls in need, and your work should bring them salvation. Yet the spirit, which guides (teaches?) you, leads these souls to you and watches over you so that evil forces do not weaken your will or prevent you from serving God …. For there is a mighty struggle for the still fickle souls. Everything good gives them strength, yet evil powers try to weaken this strength and, through all kinds of objections, to confuse the earthly child and make it insecure about its innermost feelings.

And the result of such activity is often a person who despairs of himself, who is undecided and wants to discard everything he previously firmly believed. And such states of weakness can only be overcome through heartfelt prayer, so that the good forces gain influence, and in turn impart strength and vigour to the person before the doubting state has taken hold of him. For countless beings in the beyond are anxious that you should not lose your perseverance. They see people’s suffering, they see their own suffering, they also see how they can be helped and that a person’s will is necessary for this, and now they fear that this person completely surrenders his will, and thus wants to become salvation for countless souls ….

Amen

The imparting of spiritual truth is likewise extraordinarily significant in the kingdom beyond. It is also a power which flows through the being struggling to ascend, and enables it to work on itself and its perfection. Hence, the being in the beyond receives this strength in the form of knowledge; and therefore, every opportunity is utilised in order to receive strength, for increased knowledge is increased light, and distributing light is again the only means of final redemption, thus the being first has to stand in the light itself, that is, in knowledge, before it can pass it on. Hence, knowledge represents spiritual goods which all beings in the beyond endeavour to increase as long as they have attained realisation, that is, as long as they have recognised God and the truth, and now want to increase their state of maturity to the degree that they come close to God, for it allowes them to receive the light from Him directly. This requires painstaking work, the beings have to strive …. to bring relief to the suffering souls, precisely by imparting spiritual truths which proves to be the only relief; they have to try to penetrate into divine wisdom, and willingly pass on what they have gained for their souls in order to make others happy with it as well. Eager activity is the task of the souls striving upwards, and as soon inactive souls join this activity, they also start the ascent upwards, because every being is met with willing help once it expresses its intention to strive upwards. And therefore, strength will always be sent to the beings as soon as their will demands ascent. But this strength is the spiritual nourishment, the divine Word, which brings enlightenment to all living creations on earth and in the beyond …. Every being that declares itself willing to receive the divine Word, will be touched by the divine flow of strength, and the more it gives of that strength to those who hunger for it, the more will be imparted to it in return …. it will be able to give without emptying itself, it will be allowed to call undreamt-of treasures its own, to hand out as it pleases and yet always receive more and more …. That is the miracle of divine love, that it constantly increases. It is an immensely comforting thought for you humans to be able to help your loved ones in the beyond in a way which provides them with great relief …. if you willingly receive the Word of God where it is offered to you and, through thoughts of love, you call upon the souls in the beyond so that they can likewise hear, then you impart strength to them and they feel this to be indescribably beneficial, since they can hardly make up their mind without help, for their will is weak and listless. And yet, the will has to determine their actions and thoughts. But you humans on earth can stimulate their will through your love. The soul feels every gift of love in the form of strength, that is, a will striving towards the good. And therefore, you will always bring help to the souls if your love determines you to want to help. Every call, every thought you give to the souls in the beyond will have a beneficial effect for them, and rarely will a being, even though it dwells in the darkest spiritual night, reject the love of an earthly human being which follows its soul into the beyond ….

Amen

Divine love flows to God’s creatures in undiminished abundance of strength, and it will never diminish or be used up through increased utilisation, for it is the Divinity Itself Which expresses Itself, and God is without beginning and without end; thus, His emanation must also be without beginning and without end, that is, it cannot be brought into measure and form, it cannot be limited in time and space, it must be always and eternally …. thus infinite, it must surpass all human conceptions, it must be unsurpassable in its effect, just as it is unimaginable in its omnipotence.

Nothing could exist without divine love, everything visible to peoples eyes is a product of divine love …. all life …. all beings …. the whole of creation has emerged from God’s infinite love. And so, the human being stands in the midst of love, everything that comes into contact with him is likewise God’s labour of love, and what is visible to him directly and indirectly, conveys divine love to him. Hence, everything is born of love, God Himself is the never-ending source from Which divine love flows in ever constant abundance ….

This must be understood beforehand in order to be able to understand and appreciate the full extent of Christ’s sacrificial death for the whole of creation …. (For) All spiritual (beings) emanated from God, created by Him out of immense love. His power wanted to communicate itself to those spiritual beings in order to make those created by Him happy. The spiritual being was the product of His love, it was therefore able to feel this Spiritual Being in exactly the same way, it was able to express itself in the same way, that is, it could likewise let its loving will take on form. And consequently, the creation was an incomparably blissful process which completely corresponded to God’s will, for the first-created spiritual being repeatedly turned towards the fundamental strength and thus consciously worked with God and from God …. Subsequently, however, this spiritual (being) separated itself from God and (determined) all its spiritual products to turn away from God as well. This spiritual (being) took the power of love, which constantly flowed towards it from God, for itself; it demanded love from its beings, and thus the spiritual being sought to divert the power from God to itself, to increase its own power and to withhold it from God. This was a beginning which was inadmissible and meant an unlawful appropriation of that what had come forth from God, thus spiritual substance from God. At the same time, however, it was an impossible beginning, for the original power of God cannot be fragmented, it always and eternally remains indivisible and is inseparable from God. But the will of such an appropriation of that which is of God was immediately accomplished …. This apostasy from God underlies the entire work of creation, and it determined the divine will to intervene according to plan, which acted contrary to the apostate spirit’s intention …. And God’s wisdom, love and omnipotence gave rise to works which were intended to bring about the apostate spirit’s final return. The task of creation is therefore to lead all spiritual things back to their origin, for without divine love nothing can exist. Divine love is the original substance of all that exists …. However, the desire to distance oneself from God, which is the conscious opposition to God, is at the same time a rejection and desire of divine love, in that the spiritual claims love, since otherwise it would not exist, but on the other hand wants to reject it in its arrogant assumption that it can exist without divine love. But God continued to give the spiritual being the strength from Himself, His flow of love, but demanded its return to the place of origin, and since this desire was not voluntarily fulfilled, it inevitably had to be brought close to God again through the path through all creation, and God’s greater than great love made the path of return easier for the spiritual being by only giving it a short period of time, since it was allowed to call free will its own again …. and during this short period of time, it was granted all conceivable help to accomplish its approach to God …. God Himself showed the being the way how it can come to complete union with God …. because God’s love has seized His beings with all intimacy and does not want to lose any of these beings …. And thus, He demonstrated the last earthly path to His living creations and showed them the strength and power of love, which intimately unites the being with God that emerged from God again, and shapes the being into a happiness-perceiving and happiness-giving bearer of light, so that it can create and shape again as it is its actual destiny from eternity ….

Amen

People do not pay attention to the different currents which are expressed in different states of mind and are therefore also not informed that these currents are not coincidences either, that therefore the emotional life of man is also a result of his attitude towards God or the opposing power. It is precisely the human being suffering from such moods of mind who is visibly seized by God’s love, for God takes care of the human being who is in danger of forgetting Him by influencing the human being’s emotional life, impairing the joy of life and allowing a general despondency to take possession of him. And in many cases, this is tremendously beneficial, for only at such times does the human being’s thoughts turn to his Creator; only when everything earthly has lost its value does the human being remember his true purpose. And therefore, days of inner struggle must come over people, days in which they realise the frailty of earthly enjoyment. Real hardship and suffering need not always be the reason for this, the gloomy mood can arise in the human being himself without external cause. And this is the influence of those beings to whom people are entrusted, and who are concerned about their soul’s salvation and anxiously watch over every stirring of the human heart. There is an obvious danger that the human being will devote all his strength to the demands made on him by earthly life; then they will intervene by strongly inhibiting the zest for action, the joy of earthly life, and the human being will fall into a depressed mood. And it is good if a person allows himself to be influenced by them …. if such times bring him hours of inner contemplation, then they have not come upon him in vain. Yet not all people listen to the inner admonition …. Very many try to stifle their emotions in heightened earthly enjoyment, and they also succeed because their will is more focussed on earthly life, and they thoughtlessly pass over such moods, only intent on restoring the old state of inner contentment. Let not the man complain whose life has days which seem difficult and unbearable to him, and which are only caused by his emotional life. God’s love is close to them, and such hours are only aids from friends in the beyond who want to prevent the human being from losing himself in earthly pleasures. Everything that gives the impression on earth that the human being has to live in want in earthly life is always just a proof of grace from divine love, which can only guide the human being onto the right path in this way, onto the path that leads to eternal glory and will fully compensate the earthly child for what it had to do without or give up on earth. For earthly pleasures pass away but the eternal glories remain, and these alone are the ones which should be desired on earth ….

Amen

It is a certain spiritual inertia that causes people to adopt teachings that are imparted to them by human beings. As soon as his own thinking sets in, he will come across contradictions and recognise the flimsiness of what he has been offered. And therefore, every person is responsible for his thoughts and actions. He has been given the gift by the Creator of being able to use his intellect, and so it is his task to reflect on what he has been offered, to scrutinise it and only then to take a stand on it. It is reprehensible to accept something thoughtlessly just because it is deemed right by the person who has given it to him. His own judgement should be used, and the person should be able to accept or reject with full conviction, only then does he use the intellect that God has given him. It is an incredibly erroneous thought to want to uphold a view that was acquired purely intellectually. All pros and cons must be considered, the human being must also try to scrutinise what goes against his own opinion, he must allow himself to be guided spiritually without resistance, that is, he must not resist his thoughts if they go along with the opposing opinion. He must always and constantly desire the truth, and try to eliminate his own thoughts or preconceived opinions as far as possible, then the truth will suddenly come to him quite obviously from above, and he will also recognise it as truth. The only condition is to surrender to God Himself and to want what God wants …. to surrender his own opinion and then allow himself to be taught by God ….

And man will truly be instructed correctly; he will suddenly be unable to do otherwise than to regard as right and good what the spirit from God now imparts to him. For God lets the spirit speak in those who call upon Him for the sake of truth. God admonishes and warns every person in various ways …. He approaches every person, often unrecognised but always wanting to stand by him, He knocks on everyone’s door and wants to make Himself heard, He wants to guide the thoughts of those who are of good will, and He wants to direct this will of truth in order to be able to fill their hearts with His love …. For love and truth are one, just as unkindness and falsehood are one. The actions of those who are untruthful are unloving, but those who only desire the truth will also abide in love. In His infinite love, God gave human beings intellect, reason and free will …. And man should now use these gifts, he should use his intellect to seriously reflect on the behaviour of mankind, he should, once he has recognised, try to bring his actions and thoughts into harmony with his conviction, and he should use his free will and separate himself from everything that is wrong and unite himself with the truth ….

Amen

Lack of faith and trust ….

People torment themselves with worries that are unjustified when they fear for their body’s well-being, and thereby deprive themselves of the ability to accomplish the work on their soul. It is simply insignificant how the body spends its life on this earth, what is important is the progress the soul makes, and therefore all your concern should only be for the soul. And even if it seems as if the body is in need, a trusting prayer to the Father in Heaven is enough and every need will be remedied. Yet that is what you lack, the faith that One can help you, and that His love is unspeakably great that He wants to help you …. However, if you do not believe, you deprive yourselves of this help. Man should know that everything …. suffering and joy, happiness and adversity …. are imposed on by the Heavenly Father on His child, and that everything is a test to strengthen his faith. Only when you consider everything to be God’s will shall faith become strong in you, and you will entrust yourselves and your worries to the Heavenly Father, and ask Him to take them away from you. Nothing happens against the divine will, God knows everything, and this realisation will allow you to quietly and humbly bear what God sends you ….

Amen

Living water flows inexorably from the loins of anyone who is devoted to God with heartfelt love and wants to serve Him with all his heart. For it flows to people in order to refresh them; and so, anyone who sincerely desires it may receive it. But the living water is the Word of God, commanded by Himself …. the living water is the healing potion which is always and forever offered to the beings whose soul is still ailing …. the living water is a gift of grace from God, offered to humanity to strengthen it on the path upwards. For the being needs strength and vigour for its earthly task; and thus, the source of divine love opens itself to it, and allows strength and vigour to inexorably flow out of it, accessible to every human being and promising him most delicious refreshment. And Jesus Christ announced this act of grace on earth with the words: ‘Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ….’ And thus, it was His will that people should accept the drink He Himself offered them and savour it. Thus, it is also His will that people should shape themselves such that they can receive the living water, the Word of God, which He Himself offers to them …. It is His will that they should desire it and, through strong faith, become a rock from which the living water flows …. They must make it their task to listen within, and they will hear sweetly what God Himself speaks to them. And the Word of God is indispensable for the traveller on earth, just as a drink from a fresh spring refreshes the traveller and gives him strength to continue on his arduous path. And if a person wants to despair in earthly life and loses the courage to live, he needs a strengthening drink. If he now thirstily accepts what God Himself lets flow to him, he will be able to continue his earthly path marvellously strengthened, for he receives strength from God. And anyone who thirsts for it may refresh himself with the living water at any time ….. he may open his heart at any time, and God Himself communicates with him. And thus, the promise of Christ is fulfilled for the human being, as long as he desires the drink which is offered to him from above …. from whose loins the water flows …. He can pass on the Word of God which he has received, for it is existing spiritual knowledge which, once it has been received, remains and can therefore also be passed on like water, which continues to flow inexorably and refreshes all who drink of it …. Whoever drinks of it shall never thirst for eternity …. He desires nothing more than the living water, for once he has savoured God’s delicious refreshment, all earthly desires disappear. God has made the source of eternal life accessible to people, He has promised them refreshment and strengthening on their path through life and has demanded each person’s consent to it, for only then can it be given to him, if his own will has decided in favour of it ….

Admonition ….

The spirit of truth shall announce itself to you and My grace shall communicate itself to you. My will determines your thoughts and actions. And so, I set you a task which does not extend to time and space …. The transmission of My Word in visible form is the expression of My will, this Word shall be conveyed to humanity as a visible expression of My love and strength, and this requires an earthly being which willingly serves Me and declares itself willing to receive My Word. I would like to speak to all My children and lovingly admonish them not to slacken in their striving upwards, yet rarely does a person open his heart to Me and listen to Me. I therefore gladly fulfil the request of anyone who desires to hear Me …. I come to him at every hour, in every place and in every situation in life where only his thoughts establish a connection with Me; when he opens his heart so that I can communicate Myself to him. And for this reason, I direct all your steps such that the longing for My Word becomes ever stronger in you, I try to kindle the longing in you so that I will be immensely desired by you that I can fulfil your longing and give you what you ask for …. Myself in the Word …. And then, your soul will feel My love when it is allowed to receive what My spirit reveals to it. I Am close to you humans, I woo your love yet you don’t listen to Me …. I send out My messengers, I authorise them to speak to you in My name through a willing earthly child …. but you don’t believe these words either. And yet, humanity so bitterly needs to be instructed about its wrong thoughts and actions. All suffering on earth is the result of this, and it cannot be averted from humanity until it tries to adapt itself to the divine order. But in order to fit into it, mankind must be informed; since in its disinherited state, it can no longer distinguish right from wrong. And it must be made clear to them that I am present; that I am everywhere and see and condemn the appalling events …. They must understand the desperate situation they put themselves in and how they can escape this situation. Humanity has to be educated to think correctly, and this is only possible by conveying My Word; for My Word is My will and My will gives people guidelines for their thoughts and actions. And thus, it is of inconceivable importance that people take notice of My will, which in turn can only be conveyed to them as I have intended through you. Many threads run from the beyond to earth, and all of them only serve the purpose of passing on My Word. I speak to humanity through all these people who are willing to receive and serve Me, and I convey to them the errors of their thoughts and actions. And again, there are only a few who listen to My words and recognise Me as the Giver of them. Only a few feel My love and give themselves to Me, asking for My grace. And these few shall work for Me, and I will not let them call in vain; I Am constantly close to them …. and apparent obstacles are only permitted by Me in order to strengthen their will to resist, for I need their whole will, their love for Me and their complete trust …. in order to then also be able to work through them for the blessing of humanity. I need human will which submits itself to Me, for I can only speak through human mouths and then inform people of spiritual working. Insofar as this is recognised, it is considerably easier to teach them correct thinking; yet people of the present time hardly acknowledge spiritual working, and therefore My will has to be proclaimed to them through the mouth of a human being. And this is the surest sign of My love that My words shalll never fade away once they have been desired by an earthly child …. I shall seize anyone who serves Me with all My love and help him fulfil his earthly task. Yet I never force the will …. The human being must long for Me in complete freedom and endeavour to serve Me. For then his heart will be most willingly open to Me, and he can hear My voice and will be happy, if My Word sounds brightly and clearly within him. And that is enough for you to know that My voice shall resound ever louder so that it will penetrate the din of the world. I want to give My servants on earth the strength to shape themselves such that they can hear Me as long as they speak of Me and My name. I will then speak through these servants Myself and emphasise My words through deeds carried out by those who are truly My servants …. who desire My spirit and abide in My love …. And yet, the world will not be forced to believe …. But all who are of good will shall recognise Me, and henceforth shape their lives according to My will …. And so, proclaim My Word to people with great joy and know that I will erect a protective wall around you, and that I will not allow any harm to befall you as long as you willingly serve Me. My love certainly takes care of all people but it especially protects those who sacrifice their lives to Me and endeavour to do what corresponds to My will. And every path is marked out for you; you walk it in such a way that it serves the great work of redemption, which you consciously join. And therefore, do not be discouraged if earthly life seems oppressive to you, for in order to shape yourself according to My will, hours of inner concentration are still necessary, and these must be longed for with all your senses. You must fight for that which brings you unimaginable blessings, you must be prepared to renounce every comfort of life in order to be able to serve Me alone, and only when the desire for My voice has become exceedingly great in you, that you give up everything else for it ,can I enter your heart in all fullness, and then I can work inside you and through you. The degree of love within you determines the extent of My labour of love inside you. If you give up everything, then you exchange Me and My love for it. And so, it should be easy for you to renounce earthly pleasures and seek compensation for them in My love. The world needs a mediator between itself and the Lord of creation; it cannot find the way itself and can no longer hear My voice; thus, humanity urgently needs people who are in a higher degree of maturity, who receive My Word from above and convey it to those who are unwilling or unable to establish the connection themselves. And I shall bless anyone who offers himself for this mediation on earth as well as in the beyond, for his will contributes towards the redemption of countless erring souls and helps to build up the divine, and to turn previously material thoughts towards the divine. And this is what the spirit from God commands this person to do, that he wrestles for such erring souls, that he uses every opportunity to impart what he has received, as long as they are willing to accept it. And the path he has to take will become easy for him, for divine love will accompany him on all his paths ….

Amen

The spiritual in matter longs for its liberation, for it feels the surrounding as a burden and oppression …. It was created in freedom, and therefore any constraint in form is a painful state, from which it desires to escape, but cannot do so arbitrarily. Therefore, it fulfills the task assigned to it in order to escape the respective form. It must now either serve or remain in the form for unimaginable times; there is no other way for the spiritual. Originally, the spiritual is still full of resistance against God and refuses to serve, i.e., to engage in serving activity. It remains inactive, and this inactivity brings it endless periods of being bound. The spiritual cannot be freed from the fixed form until it decides to serve, but only then is the possibility given for ever faster changes in its outer form, for the will to serve has now been stirred by the prospect of ultimate liberation from any form. Everything spiritual in activity is therefore living, while everything in inactivity is dead matter, although the term “dead” means something different from “lifeless.” “Dead” means being inactive in a bound state, while “living” means having a certain freedom to engage in activity. Dead matter, therefore, still contains very immature spiritual, that is, spiritual substance that is distant from God, rebelling, which must endure millennia of suffering and agony of being bound before it decides to become active, i.e., feels the will to approach God …. Once this will is awakened, the spiritual is freed from its banishment by God’s will …. It becomes free and now seeks other embodiments in order to completely liberate itself, and to end state of compulsion one day. This liberation of the spiritual from the solid form can only take place in such a way that God commands the outer shell to loosen, i.e., the formerly solid form must somehow be dissolved or destroyed in order to release the spiritual within it, and this process always means the destruction of matter, which can now take place through human hands or through God’s will …. through elemental forces …. However, the divine will is always a prerequisite, otherwise, the spiritual will be prematurely freed, and …. as it is not yet ripe for the next outer form, it will cause trouble and urge the already more mature spiritual to act quicker. This, in turn, leads to inexplicable phenomena in nature, in plant and animal life, which disturb the spiritual that is already in the stage of free will, meaning it has already entered the final phase of development on Earth, but has misused its free will by prematurely freeing the immature spiritual from its form through destructive actions that do not align with God’s will. Everything that is sin, i.e., directed against the divine order, brings the just punishment with it, and thus, human beings themselves will have to bear the consequences of the dreadful destructive work brought about by human hands …. These are unforeseen catastrophes, the entirely natural result of what human hatred and lack of love bring about; and so, the world is heading towards an event that is unimaginable in its dimensions and consequences, for God does not allow interference with His creation without punishment. While He does not prevent the free will of humans, He can never allow the spiritual in its development to be hindered by pure revenge and destruction unleashed by humans. For it is solely God’s matter to take on the office of avenger …. To Him alone shall all guilt be entrusted, so that He may render the just judgment ….

Amen

Only One Will applies to the universe. And this will governs everything spiritual as well as earthly visible to the eye, that is, His entire work of creation, which came into being through His will. As far as the divine will is now obeyed by the spiritual, which is still banished in fmatter, as well as the spiritual, which is free of every fetter, the divine order is completely established; and only a higher development of all spiritual substance can be the result of it. The state of free will, however, which is granted to the spiritual for its final redemption, is often the greatest danger for it, for it begins to revolt against divine will. Through its will, it therefore grants a certain power to God’s opposite pole, which now opposes the divine will. ButGod does not force this will; and therefore, during the embodiment as man, the earthly creation is ,so to speak, exposed to another power as soon as man himself gives his consent to it. Thus, the human will now consciously opposes the divine will, and is not prevented from doing so but has to accept the consequences of the wrong directed will. Divine will is always directed towards perfection, towards the good, towards the lightful state of His beings and the increase of good spiritual strength, whereas the adversary’s will only strives for the opposite and the human being supports, thus favours, this endeavour through his will. And only because of this is it possible that there is unparalleled chaos on earth, that spiritual as well as earthly disintegration is noticeable, that the elements of the underworld are obviously noticeable, and that humanity is increasingly heading towards its downfall. For this is what the adversary wants, he wants to destroy everything that testifies to God and usurp His power. And he succeeds in doing so, insofar as the human being’s will is submissive to him. However, he cannot force this will, he can only weaken it in such a way that it completely subordinates itself to him. Therefore, the state of free will is a danger for the being, insofar as it can throw it back again into deepest spiritual night, which it had already overcome for the most part. But the divine will nevertheless governs everything that exists, although He leaves the being free will and He does not banish the adversary’s will …. He also directs everything caused by this evil and wrong will such that it can nevertheless result in the human being’s release from this power. People themselves cause all disasters which befall them and yet this disaster can be a blessing to them again; thus, free will is indeed the cause of the most dreadful events on earth, and yet these can bring realisation to the individual person again …. they can be the cause of a complete inner transformation, of turning away from the one who was the originator of the dreadful events ….

What is the fault of human will can, through divine will, become the opposite of what it should actually be. Complete disintegration and indescribable chaos can suddenly order the human being’s thoughts and make them subject to divine will, and every deed which evil will gave birth to can lead to the salvation of erring souls by recognising what is detestable and now turning to their Creator full of desire, and finally submitting their will to divine will ….

Amen

Truth ….

The intellectual researcher rejects the only possibility of complete enlightenment on the grounds that no guarantee of truth can be offered to him for solutions obtained in this way. And yet, there is no other way to come closer to the pure truth than through spiritual research. The earthly scientist may provide evidence down to the smallest detail, but he will still be wrong as long as he is untrustworthy and considers himself capable of solving spiritual problems. And therefore, the results of such researchers differ widely, just as they also differ in their attitude towards God. And he who approaches the investigation of such spiritual problems with God’s help, shall always be able to defend his views with conviction; but he who does not believe that he needs God’s help to do so, shall be and remain mistaken. And the researchers will only agree if they are of the same faith, that is, of the same spirit. For the right solution also comes to them from above. And yet precisely this path is bypassed because the modern world prefers exact scientific work to spiritually gained successes; and so, humanity accepts it without resistance and persistently rejects the pure truth. And a process of unheard-of significance, the working of the divine spirit, remains unrecognised and unused, and only a few believers derive their knowledge from it, and yet these alone stand in truth, for they accept what God Himself offers them: the pure, unadulterated divine teaching, the pure Word of God and thus the fullest enlightenment about everything divine creation holds, whereas intellectually acquired knowledge is utmost incomplete, despite the alleged evidence, and will never completely satisfy. Science in particular has put forward theories that more or less contradict the truth, and instead of coming closer to the truth, humanity is moving further and further away from it. And where the truth is to be found, the human will erects an insurmountable barrier. Man refuses to research in this way, and now, even more so, utilises intellectual thinking in order to find an explanation that suits him for the emergence of spiritual results. It is therefore impossible to spread the pure truth through scientific researchers. Even those researchers who, in deep faith, want to bring other results to the general public, that is, results that correspond to the truth, will meet with fierce resistance and be fought by their opponents, who only allow their own intellect to speak and completely exclude God’s work. Such results have no value whatsoever and yet are considered to be the only valuable ones; and thus, the human being’s thinking is completely distorted because he draws his conclusions and inferences from erroneous teachings, and thus gets further and further into erroneous thinking. The pure truth can only be received where profound faith has requested God’s blessing for every spiritual work …. These alone stand in truth, for they were instructed by the Eternal Truth Itself. Such a person can never ever be in error, for God Himself protects him from it if the person has entrusted himself to God’s care through his prayer. Thus, the core of truth will always and forever be God Himself, and everything that is started with God will correspond to the truth, yet without God there will be no guarantee for it, no matter how eagerly a person intellectually tries to substantiate what he claims …. his opinion will differ considerably from that of the person submitting himself to God, because the results originate from different sources, and truth can only flow from the divine source alone, since God is the Truth Himself ….

Amen

Now hear the words of the Lord: ‘Become like children so that you will enter My kingdom ….’ If you do not have the most childlike faith, you will hardly conquer the kingdom of God, for you must accept as truth what often seems incomprehensible to you; and thus, you must be able to believe like children. For God and His glory cannot be grasped, but can only be accepted as truth in the fullest faith. Thus, Jesus’ life on earth was also an endless series of miracles that can only be affirmed in the deepest faith of the heart, otherwise they would have to be considered impossible and rejected. Yet childlike faith considers everything that is proclaimed by God to be true, childlike faith does not doubt and does not ponder; and this is how faith should be in order to be able to represent God and His work before all the world. For with God nothing is impossible …. what He wills comes to pass. And if He demands profound faith from people, then He demands His love, omnipotence and wisdom, which can accomplish everything, to be unconditionally recognised …. Deep childlike faith asks neither how nor why …. Because it knows no impossiblity, no limitation and no improbability …. And this is how your faith should be, so that God Himself may have His pleasure in you. But then the gates of heaven will be open to you; for as soon as you believe, you will be able to enter the kingdom of God; and as soon as you believe, there will be no more barriers, for the faith of your heart shall call forth all spiritual things, and you will become knowledgeable …. What you previously only believed will now become obvious to you, you have come to recognition through faith and what you recognise has become proof for you that your faith was right. The knowledge was given to you without you pondering and questioning; your faith imparted it to you. And you now receive all gifts from the Father’s hand with thanksgiving like children. You do not hesitate to accept it because, in your deep childlike faith, you expect nothing but the most profound truth from God; and thus, you do not place any obstacles in the way of the impartations, just as too weak faith is such an obstacle. Deepest faith and deepest love for God shall earn you eternal glory, therefore become like children so that the kingdom of God is close to you ….

Amen

By virtue of free will, the human being has it in his power to redeem himself, he is only weak and powerless without the application of the means of grace, without the supply of spiritual strength. Grace is everything that God bestows on man in His love, if he desires it …. To be in God’s favour means to be constantly cared for by His love, and this love intervenes wherever a person is in danger. If his soul is in danger, divine love will help him as long as the person himself does not resist this help. The most effective means of grace is prayer. Prayer is the means of receiving unmeasured graces, which means repeated strength and help in all needs and sufferings of the soul. Prayer causes the good spiritual beings to make themselves helpfully available to the human being, that is, to hand over the strength they possess in abundance to the person requesting strength in prayer. For then the free will of man has been active to request power from God. Prayer is therefore a means of receiving unmeasured graces. And a further means of grace is the activity of love …. For with every act of unselfish neighbourly love, divine grace flows to him in the form of divine love, and this urges the human being into ever more active loving activity, and only through love shall the human being redeem himself, thus the more he practises love and thereby receives God’s grace, that is, the more strength he receives for his own redemption. No strength or grace can flow to a person who merely fulfils some form; his innermost heart must urge him to pray and to love …. Only then can grace be imparted to him. And worry, illness and affliction are evidence of divine love, for they are intended to bring the human being into a state of using the means of grace, thus to appeal for help in prayer, and to carry out deeds of love for his neighbour. And God thereby directs people such that they desire to stand in the rays of the divine sun of grace; in a manner of speaking, He proposes the means of grace to them so that they make use of them. But the spiritually perfect person is of the same will as God and, as the executor of the will, endeavours in the same way to influence the beings on earth such that they make use of the means of grace …. They stimulate the human being’s will to be lovingly active and to appeal to God for His grant of strength …. Only then shall free will be used correctly, only then shall the human being be able to redeem himself, for he does everything with God’s help, he makes use of God’s grace, and thus lives in and with God ….

Amen

And inner peace shall be the sign that God is in him. But those who lack divine grace, because they neither desired nor received it when it was offered to them, find the path to the heights so difficult that they can never travel it, for their strength is too weak and they do not ask for strength from God, even though it is at their disposal. They use none of the means of grace, and their soul is weak and unable to rise up. And yet, God lets the sun of grace shine on them, too, by giving them His Word, and through it, instructing them to consider their soul. He gives them knowledge of the measure of grace to which every human being is entitled. He wants them to pay attention, and not go through earthly life unwarned. And thus, divine grace also reaches the human being unconsciously and only wants to be seized …. And again, it is the human being’s free will to grasp God’s hand and to accept the divine grace which is utmost lovingly offered to him, and …. once he has been granted this grace, to request it again and again, and thereby receive strength in order to redeem himself during his earthly life. His will is therefore only necessary in order to be able to accomplish everything that will bring salvation to his soul. His will has to seek God, his will has to submit itself to Him, and his will has to consciously strive towards Him and request the strength from God to do so …. He then establishes the connection with his Father of Eternity, he wants to get to God. And this will means his redemption …. And God always and everywhere comes to meet him, He does not demand more from man than he can fulfil, He offers him all means of help which make the ascent possible for him, and only demands of the being that it does not behave dismissively but gratefully receives the favours which guarantee the ascent upwards. Yet God does not force the human being’s will; and therefore, God’s grace cannot be granted to him without his will either, because otherwise the soul would be pushed upwards, thus it would not desire to ascend in complete freedom of will but would compulsorily cover this path upwards. For divine grace is strength from God which demands to return to God again …. Therefore, this power can only be imparted to the being if it likewise desires God of its own free will. This is why free will is indispensable if the being wants to redeem itself from its last embodiment on earth ….

Amen

The threads that are spun from the beyond to earth all bear the stamp of love, for only where love has become active can a connection be established between the two worlds. love is therefore the first condition in order to be honoured by God for receiving His word. Where connections are now established by people who must be denied all love for their fellow human being, where therefore only a spiritual expression of strength is expected for the purpose of satisfying earthly thirst for knowledge, the guarantee of truth can never be offered there, for people are now approached by spiritual forces which correspond to their own state of soul. These have no ability within themselves to be able to instruct people truthfully. They give according to their immature knowledge and thereby very easily lead people astray, since they likewise lack all knowledge. But if the human being is inwardly shaped through loving activity such that he is receptive to truth, then truth will also be imparted to him by precisely those beings who know the truth and distribute it to anyone who desires it. And marvellous successes could be recorded on earth if all people who are active in love would consciously hand themselves over to the good spiritual forces. However, many connections from the beyond to earth are thus only unconscious to people in the form of mental transmissions which are recognizable by the fact that these people’s feelings and opinions correspond to the truth which is visibly conveyed to a consciously receiving earthly child …. with the word of God, which is proclaimed to the world again through divine will in this form …. Human will is decisive for such a direct, externally recognizable mediation, and this will is rarely mustered, which is why mediations of this kind can only rarely take place, yet this rarity cannot be cited as evidence of an abnormal process. A will that subsequently declares itself ready for spiritual activity can only be accepted if all preconditions have been fulfilled, which also characterize a certain state of maturity. A person’s thoughts and actions determine the extent to which they are in harmony with divine will. There are not always externally recognizable characteristics which determine God to choose a person as the bearer of truth, however, the first prerequisite is always that the human being completely surrenders himself to God, that his soul longs for God and that this longing renders all own will obsolete, that the human being therefore wants to make divine will his own and that he now offers himself to God in deepest humility. And thus he is suitable as God’s instrument which only ever wants to and will carry out what God demands of him …. thus God Himself can work on earth through His instrument, yet people are never inevitably induced to believe through such activity, but again the human being only recognizes divine activity in it if he is of good will, thus likewise strives towards God or seeks God …. God wants to help all of them and cheer them up in their endeavours, He wants to give them guidelines and let them feel His closeness, He wants to impart strength to them and thus shape the relationship between the earthly child and its heavenly father more intimately so that the distance is reduced and the human being reaches his goal ….

Amen

The slightest resistance hinders spiritual activity, and if the human being’s will refuses to accept something that is not agreeable to him then the spirit from God cannot manifest itself, and thus stagnation occurs where the human being’s will strives towards the spiritual. And this will be the case where the human being has already formed an opinion which contradicts what the spirit from God wants to proclaim. And therefore that human being will be unsuitable to receive spiritual proclamations if he cannot completely free himself from spiritual knowledge which he has previously acquired through scholastic teachings. It is difficult for people to detach themselves from such mental knowledge and it will only be possible to have a corrective mental influence on them when they start to doubt their knowledge, when they come across contradictions and then seriously reflect on them. And it is the task of the beings of light in the beyond to correct and right their train of thought, who only wait for the moment when the human being ponders and questions and seeks the truth. Yet it is impossible to eradicate a firmly accepted teaching as long as the human being himself does not doubt it, for the will for truth has to become active itself, and this only occurs when he begins to waver in his previous views. And that is why it is the endeavour of the friends in the beyond to first shake the wrong belief. A state must arise where the human being feels a certain uncertainty about what he has held up to now, then the beings of light immediately intervene and constantly bring new doubts and contradictions to his mind, and these make the human being question and reflect. And only then can the activity of the beings of light begin to mentally enlighten him. And yet even then there will still be resistance; the more firmly the old teachings are rooted in the human being, for it is difficult to remove spiritual knowledge from the memory which had already taken possession of the human being’s thinking. It is difficult to put other wisdom in its place, the old thinking will always push itself forward …. Every spiritual activity will be all the more successful the less resistant the person reacts to it, and therefore a heartfelt devotion to God is necessary and the will to be instructed in the pure truth, only then can the power of God flow through the person, let him recognize the wrong, and he will now more easily free himself from the previous teachings or his knowledge. He must first find everything reprehensible before he can completely separate himself from it. And that is why the most heartfelt prayer is a prerequisite …. If a person can truly and childlike pray to God for inner enlightenment, God will answer this prayer and give him the power of knowledge so that he suddenly recognizes the truth as such lightly and clearly and he now appropriates it in order to never give it up ….

Amen

Only that which corresponds to the word of God is divine will. The lord lived on earth, and this life was dedicated to spreading His word …. He taught people in the simplest possible way how they should lead their lives; He gave them guidelines and made everything understandable through examples …. He set Himself as an example, modelled life for them and promised eternal life to those who followed Him. Through His teaching, He wanted to educate people to think correctly and repeatedly sought to awaken love in them. His life was an uninterrupted labour of love, He sought to heal the body and the soul, He gave love from the bottom of His heart, and all His thoughts and actions were directed solely towards the salvation of erring souls. Thus He preached the word of God on earth, and the word of God is still the same today …. the expression of the divine will, as it was from eternity and will remain for eternity …. the admonition to love …. There is only one thing that has real meaning always and forever …. That is love. love on earth brings redemption from the form, love in the hereafter eternal glory. It is always love to which mankind is to be educated, and the divine word will always and constantly admonish people to love and warn them against unkindness. And thus the divine will will always be that which has love as a prerequisite …. Now people can no longer differentiate between human work and God’s work, and they need only apply the standard of how far an action is determined by love and serves love …. whether it awakens love or gives love …. whether the omission of an action somehow has a damaging effect on a fellow human being, thus would then be an act of unkindness, or whether it does not result in any significant disadvantage. And so commandments that prescribe such actions would be superfluous, i.e. not in accordance with divine will, because they distract attention from what is really important and what God Himself demands of people in His commandments ….

Amen

Unchanging love repeatedly prompts God to approach people and impart His word to them, for this love will not allow the human being, who has the will for truth within himself, to live in error. The stronger the desire for truth in a person, the more he draws the eternal truth to himself and now hears the divine voice within himself, which usually expresses itself mentally but can also be heard audibly. It is the spiritual spark in the human being which seeks contact with the divine spirit, and if the human being now pays attention to his thoughts he will realize that they predominantly deal with spiritual questions and that the human being answers these questions himself to a certain extent. And this answer is imparted to him by the spirit from God. He who cultivates his inner life, who often lets the voice within himself speak, i.e. lets his thoughts run free, but tries to free himself as much as possible from earthly thoughts, will be able to achieve unheard-of successes. He will think about many problems and, if he has the desire to solve them, he will also find a very clear and satisfying solution …. He will create an image for himself, seemingly originating from his own thoughts, it will appeal to him and also completely correspond to the truth, for the will for truth gave the spirit in him the freedom to express itself, and the image he has now received in his thoughts is the expression of the divine spirit in the human being. For every human being who desires the truth finds grace before God …. because this desire is unconsciously directed towards God Himself. Man wants to recognize what is right, and God as what is right allows Himself to be recognized. He allows Himself to be found by everyone who seeks Him …. The process of imparting spiritual truths bears the stamp of divine love. An earthly child will never be able to receive mediations in the same way which do not correspond to truth. For God’s adversary can certainly influence a person’s train of thought through his auxiliary forces to turn to the lie if he himself is untrue and turns away from God …. but he will never have the power to create writings in such an extraordinary way, because this gift is a gift of grace from God that can only be acquired through the will to serve God. The origin of the writings is in itself a sign of divine love and omnipotence, which cannot be arbitrarily transferred by opposing power to people who stand apart from the eternal deity for the purpose of deliberately misleading their fellow human beings …. And thus this emergence alone is already proof of the working of good spiritual strength, it is a process which is not often repeated and which will not end at will either, for once the earthly child has declared itself willing to do so it is seized by divine love and no longer wants to do without the precious gift, after all, the spirit hovers in regions which are now more desirable to it than earthly life, and thus the human being would never voluntarily want to give up something which he deems far more desirable. Divine love is clearly recognizable at work and gives people proof of its strength and power …. It constantly endeavours to persuade people to believe, it comes close to earth itself, takes pity on its living creations, divine love tries to make itself understood in the word, it is unchanging and always and forever only intent on making the eternal kingdom accessible to its living creations in all its glory, and thus love itself descends to earth and instructs them in word and scripture …. so that the imperishable pure word of God is offered to people according to His will ….

Amen

The centre of all light and all radiation of power is God, the eternal power, the eternal light. All rays emanate from Him into the universe and everything that goes out flows back to Him …. But light and power are not sent out for no purpose, because the wisdom of God has a purpose for everything. The purpose of the spiritual emanation is to flood all beings, which were likewise created by divine power but by the will of God’s opposite pole, with light and strength in such a way that they long to return to where the source of that power is, i.e. where their original beginning was. The infinitely long path which the being has to cover until it returns to the father’s house is a constant supply of strength for the being, which is also its origin …. And this supply of strength brings the being into a certain state of maturity in which it can recognize its outcome if it wants to. Recognizing its exit from God is the first condition for its final return to Him. And thus the divine giver of light and strength floods everything that has emerged from Him with His light for the first time in order to give the being the possibility of recognizing its origin …. For light is knowledge, and the being is guided into the circle of light so that it learns to recognize …. And He floods it with strength in order to let the being, which has now recognized, find the path to the father’s house. Light and strength are one; he who recognizes also does the right thing to reunite with his creator. The emanation from God, however, requires carriers, i.e. receiving stations, which transmit and pass on every power and light emanation so that all beingness is grasped. Such carriers of light and wisdom are therefore, as it were, the executors of a process that must take place if the beingness from God is to take the right path …. the path to God …. otherwise the being would want to return to the opposite pole of God, if it had to do without light and power and would be at the mercy of the power of the latter. Thus, all beings constantly receive strength from God, they remain in perpetual connection with the elemental force to which they owe their existence …. The light bearers, who receive the influx from God directly, now impart it to countless beings; they penetrate the so-called dead form, leaving behind an ancestor of light and power for the beingness hidden therein, which is to have a desire-awakening effect …. they permeate innumerable small and smallest living beings with this power and awaken in them the desire for light, they bring power and light to the human being who is already conscious of his purpose in order to allow the final realization to mature in him and to awaken and constantly increase the desire for union with the elemental force. Everything that exists is therefore in perpetual connection with God as the giver of strength, without which nothing could exist. And therefore no being will ever be able to be completely lost …. but neither will it be able to dissolve into nothingness, for the divine power will never be switched off, and thus nothing that once existed will be able to evaporate. Only in the state of free will can the being reject the influx of strength and light, but this does not mean that it now remains without a supply of strength …. The strength which serves its preservation is constantly supplied to it, yet it will lack the strength to approach God as long as it consciously rejects it. The emanation of strength is an incessant process which finds its foundation in God Himself …. God is eternal, without beginning and without end, therefore the strength must also be without beginning and without end, and since it is unlimited it can also be received unlimitedly by the beings who consciously desire it …. This reception is unimaginably blissful for the being, for what is from God must also trigger blissful feelings which are only withheld from the being as long as it does not consciously desire divine emanation. Yet all beings which have become bearers of light cheer and exult in gratitude to their divine lord and creator, Whose emanations of His love are the epitome of eternal bliss, and thus they fulfil their mission of passing on these emanations with utmost devotion, always urged on by love for the beings which are not yet able to grasp the miracle of divine love ….

Amen

Everything earthly comes to an end with the physical death of man. There is nothing that man can take over from it into the beyond. Only what his thoughts desire he will find over there, and if these thoughts are still very much connected with matter, with earthly goods, then his imagination will also conjure up these goods for him in the hereafter, according to his desire, but these will no longer exist earthly tangibly. Thus the human being will then live outside the earth but within that which he constructs for himself in his world of thoughts. And so the human being, who cannot yet completely separate himself from matter, has to take up the same battle against it as on earth; he cannot enter the kingdom of the spirit until he has overcome his cravings and freed himself from them. Thus earthly life may well be over but not his earthly state as far as it is felt by the being itself. This is a pitiable state, a state of unfulfilled desires, agonizing longing and constant disappointment, a state of constant dissatisfaction and tormenting self-reproach, or …. what is even worse …. an apathetic sinking into deepest darkness, where the being is inaccessible to all help and instruction and cannot muster any will to improve its situation. What it has left behind on earth, the soul now tries to gain again and again, it mainly stays where it lived on earth and sees and follows everything that happens. And this is time spent in vain, which brings no change to its situation and also no change to its thinking. Only after an unspeakably long time does it recognize its pitiful state, it realizes that it no longer has any connection with the earth and sees the hopelessness of its efforts to gain or hold on to earthly goods. This realization is followed by a time of deepest despair which lasts until the being gives in to the urging of helpful souls and decides to take action to free itself from its dreadful state …. The path of higher development can now be travelled incredibly quickly once the being has recognized this. Then it seeks to escape the state of darkness by virtue of its will, which it still calls its own, and such a desire is largely supported. It will now willingly separate itself from every desire which was still for earthly possessions, it will no longer desire anything other than light and freedom, and its own agonizing state lets it become sympathetic for the fate of the other unredeemed souls. And now love starts to become active in it by now turning its help towards the beings which are still enveloped by deeper darkness. And now the being redeems itself through the love it gives to its fellow sufferers, and it willingly follows the guidance of the beings of light by allowing itself to be taught by them and now enlightens the beings again, to whom it can thereby bring help. The being only becomes free when it has killed, i.e. overcome, all desire for matter within itself. If the being still succeeds in doing so on earth it can enter the beyond carefree and its state will bring it light and knowledge, yet the path to ascent is indescribably arduous for the soul which is still chained to the possessions of this world, for until it has overcome this inclination it cannot enter spheres of light and thus has to endure endless times of torment until it finally realizes …. but then to restlessly work on itself and make up for what it neglected to do on earth …. to give love in order to redeem itself and its kind through love ….

Amen

The human soul is the unification of countless soul-substances which are assembly points for spiritual strength, i.e. which are receptacles for the spirit of God. Each one of these countless substances was previously embodied somewhere else, that is, enclosed in an outer form for the purpose of the spirit’s higher development and for the prospect of later unification with an equal substance. Hence each single substance of the human soul has passed though every work of creation and has, so to speak, matured for its last embodiment on earth. The soul always assumes the same shape as its surrounding outer shape …. If a person with spiritual vision would contemplate the human soul in its composition he would be presented with an incredibly charming and varied picture. This work of God’s creation, invisible to human beings, is beyond description, both in its structure as well as in its usefulness. But a description of the formation of the soul would only confuse human thought for he cannot understand the countless miracles within the human body. What human beings understand to be ‘soul’ is all of creation in miniature. The soul is the innermost part of the human being and includes the whole of creation …. intended to become enlightened during its life on earth and in glorification of God to enjoy the delights of heaven.

The soul has the divine spirit within itself. Although the original substance of the soul is also spirit in all its phases of evolution …. the divine spark of spirit is placed into the incarnating soul of the human being by God Himself …. He instils His breath into the human being …. He places the divine into him and gives the soul the task to chose between the divine and the human during its last existence on earth. If the soul …. the spirit out of God which at one time had opposed God …. is now willing to unite with the divine spirit, the transformation of what was once far away from God begins and the human soul becomes enlightened. The unity of the human soul with the divine spirit occurs when the soul steadfastly overcomes all human desires, which, for the purpose of testing and for strengthening of the will, cling to the human body as temptation …. when it resists all that the body as such requires and willingly submits to the requirements of the divine spirit.

Then the soul finally surrenders its former resistance to God. It chooses God, it is no longer in conscious opposition to the divine and accepts the emission of love, the strength, to increase the spirit within itself, to bring about the unity of the spirit within itself with the spirit outside of itself, and thus consciously strives to draw closer to God. If, however, the body’s desire dominates then the divine spark of spirit stays dormant and completely buried deep within the human being, it cannot emit light and the soul dwells in utter darkness. Its earthly life goes by without the smallest accomplishment; the spirit within is condemned to stagnate, its earthly process is not a path towards higher development but a time of standstill or even regression. The divine spark of spirit in the human being had been ignored and therefore could not manifest itself. The strength of divine love could not flow into the being and, as a result, the unity with the spirit of the eternal Father could not take place either. The soul takes this lightless state, which it had chosen for itself on earth, across into eternity and there, with endless pain of regret, contemplates the wasted time on earth and now has to struggle far more strenuously to improve its situation ….

Amen

You should often seek My spirit, you should place yourselves under My protection, that is, you should pray to Me in all intimacy that I will take care of you and then you desire My spirit to be with you. And thus your spirit unites with Me, it recognizes its true home, it seeks union with My spirit because it is from Me …. And thereby you will come ever closer to Me and soon you will no longer want to be without Me, your life will be peaceful and the end of your temporal life will mean neither fear nor terror for you. Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest …. Lift up your eyes to Me, I will help you …. If you seek Me, you will find Me, for I only wait for your call and come to you. I want you to always and constantly be with Me in your thoughts …. I want your heart to rejoice when it connects with Me …. I want to be your companion at every hour, to whom you confidently entrust yourselves …. I want to recognize your love by the fact that you start nothing without My blessing, without having asked for My help …. I want to be consulted in every work, to be allowed to direct and guide you on all your earthly paths …. I want you to sacrifice time and rest to Me in order to dialogue with Me …. I want to be your beginning and your end …. I want to share joy and sorrow with you, you should always desire Me and long for My love. And if your will seeks frequent contact with Me, I will take complete possession of you and sink peace into your heart …. For I do not give to you as the world gives to you …. I give you eternal life because you, who seek Me and My spirit, are My children and are therefore entitled to the kingdom I have prepared for you …. I give you eternal life …. eternal glory ….

Amen

The hours of solitude are well suited to cause a person to reflect and he should therefore often seek the opportunity to escape from all earthly hustle and bustle in order to indulge in inner introspection, which can have a beneficial effect. In his arrogance, the human being often believes that he fulfils the demands God places on His earthly children …. i.e. he does not do the slightest thing to educate himself spiritually or to achieve a higher degree of maturity, i.e. to ennoble his nature. He believes that he was created by God as he is, and he gives himself no account of the extent to which he himself is responsible for shaping his nature. And he can only be enlightened about this if he subjects himself to critical scrutiny, if he compares his actions and thoughts with God’s requirements, which He places on man through His commandments of love. Then his inner voice will reproach him for his way of life, or he will be made aware if his actions and thoughts deviate from what God wants …. And again, it depends on the extent to which he listens to the inner voice; it depends on whether he is prepared to contradict or willingly accepts the admonition of those who want to help him …. Accordingly, he will also adjust his further life, he will either endeavour to ennoble himself or try to drown out the inner voice with counter-talk that still expresses too much desire for the world. For the person who is still so attached to the world does not take the fulfilment of the divine commandments seriously in order to secure earthly advantage for himself. And so the earthly-minded person will also not be willing to go into solitude often, i.e. his soul does not long for hours of inner contemplation but seeks to numb itself and drown out the inner voice through the hustle and bustle of the world. And it is God’s grace that He forcibly places such people in situations where they are exposed to loneliness …. It is true that the desire for the world can also arise in that person with increased strength and such loneliness can bring him no benefit for his soul; but often the person also comes to the realization of his useless way of life and returns to worldly life as a different person. Inner contemplation has brought him the realization that his previous thoughts and actions were not the right ones, and he tries to change himself and his nature and to pay more attention to his inner life, which he will also succeed in doing if his striving is serious, i.e. if his will remains turned towards right thinking. And so an apparent evil can often …. an inevitable separation from the world …. can often have an extremely beneficial effect, for when the earthly world has moved away from a person, the spiritual world can come closer to him; where earthly distractions do not influence a person’s thinking, forces from the beyond can now take effect and, in the form of thoughts, enlighten a person about the actual meaning and purpose of life. And success in spiritual matters can fully compensate the human being for the earthly pleasures he was denied ….

Amen

People live in the belief that they are serving a good cause when they campaign for the complete destruction of a people that they believe is causing harm to other peoples. This view lacks any justification and goes against all justice. People only ever see what they want to see and they fail to seriously examine the extent to which public opinion corresponds to the truth before passing judgement. It is an unbelievably cruel principle to want to destroy what people no longer like, and thus all measures serving destruction are directed against fellow human beings, against beings which were likewise created by God and live through the embodiment on earth for the sake of their spiritual development. And beings, which are supposed to serve each other in love, move against each other for mutual destruction. This is so dreadful and characterizes the spiritual low of humanity, which does not recognize the great injustice and is only intent on bringing the greatest destruction upon its fellow human beings. People lack a sense of justice, their thinking is far removed from justice. What is useful for earthly well-being, what increases power and possessions is considered right, and every strong person believes he is right towards the weak. But people have completely lost the ability to think justly; they are no longer able to form their own judgement as to where the actual injustice is to be found, to what extent people themselves are guilty of the harm that befalls them …. They only let their hatred and unkindness speak, want to retaliate and indulge their lust for revenge and are now carrying out acts that go against all human feeling. People rage against each other, they outdo each other in cruelty and strive for mutual destruction. And yet the attacker is even more to be condemned than the attacked, who has to defend himself and therefore resorts to the same means. It is a work of destruction led by satan himself, for he drives hatred and unkindness to frightening heights, it is a raging against each other that kills all human feeling …. It is no longer people fighting against people, but deeply sunk spiritual beings against just such beings, and thousands and thousands of people have to suffer and end their lives through cruelty. But God avenges the injustice of man …. He condemns the rage against each other, He condemns the way of fighting, and His judgement is truly just …. It will strike the guilty when the time has come. He will make known to all the world who has brought about the terrible misery and He will brand them so that the world will recognize their conduct in disgust, so that people will think justly and learn to regard all fellow human beings as equally creatures of God, so that they will abhor injustice and endeavour to make amends for what they have sinned ….

Amen

God’s Judgment is not far away. It will only be a short time longer and during this time the world is yet to see much misery, bear much suffering and sorrow and go through indescribable affliction. Since the Calvary cross has been ignored people will have to experience it for themselves, they must endure unspeakable suffering and thus atone for the guilt of sin because they renounced their faith in Jesus Christ. God does not want to leave them in their agnostic state and still provide them with means and ways of finding Jesus Christ. The suffering coming upon the earth is negligible compared to the suffering of those in the beyond who died without faith in Jesus Christ and won’t acknowledge His act of Salvation. His suffering and death on the cross was the sacrifice of atonement for humanity’s sins. Yet those who distance themselves from the act of Salvation must atone for their guilt of sin themselves and can be considered fortunate if they are still allowed to do so in their earthly life. Souls which oppose Christ and His act of Salvation can expect to suffer inconceivable torments in the beyond. Yet immense suffering on earth can still let them find Him and recognise His greater than great love, and then the state of their soul at the time of death can be such that they will not need to endure the agonies in the beyond. But if earthly suffering does not result in spiritual success, then all means on earth will be in vain and God will impose upon people a time when everything will be eradicated which can no longer be spiritually saved …. since a separation of good from evil will take place …. so that only those who confess God will keep their lives but everything that is hostile to God will be removed …. Prior to this, God’s demands will be revealed to the world, the world will not be kept in ignorance; nevertheless, it will not want to believe. And it cannot be forced to believe; unbelief, however, will become so prevalent that God wants to protect His Own from the corrupting influence of those people who are clearly subject to the opponent’s control. Consequently, He will break his power and allow everything that opposes Him to fall prey to destruction …. He will withdraw His will from every external form and let the souls take the infinitely long path in a bound state again, because no prospect of higher development and redemption exists for this spiritual essence in the beyond, since its will is still utterly influenced by the opponent. Hence, the Judgment will signify the dawning of a completely new era. That which will then populate the earth will be spiritually advanced and consciously want to serve God and travel the earthly path in accordance with divine will, for it will no longer be so harassed by evil forces. With the knowledge of God people will flourish into a joyful and ardently God- loving race and the earth will be spared sadness and suffering, a time of peace and blissful happiness will commence on Earth, people will lovingly be of service to each other and thus strive towards higher spheres in a way that is pleasing to God. And during this time the opponent has little control over people. It was taken away from him, since all spiritual beings enslaved by him had lost their freedom and were bound in forms again, thus the opponent will be unable to use his power until these beings enter the state of free will once more which, however, will take an infinitely long time again, and this time can be called a time of peace on Earth.

Amen

Life on earth is the preparation time for eternity. If now this time is used in such a way that life after death is always thought of and therefore life is lived consciously, then man shapes himself so that he can register a certain maturity at the end of his earth life, and then this has earned him the success that he can now enter the eternal kingdom and can again fulfil the tasks there, which wait for him. For life in eternity is a perpetual activity; it is not a state of rest but only then truly blissful when it is filled with constant activity. If a person is accustomed to lively activity on earth, he will be able to fulfil every task that is set for him in the beyond, and therefore a busy life on earth is a good preparation time for the actual task in the beyond. No hour should remain unused and the strength from God, which is imparted to the human being, should spur him on to fulfil all the demands that earthly life places on him. For one day even more will be demanded of him and it will only ever depend on his will which work he is assigned. For now again he is free to be active, only the state of happiness depends on what his will tells him to do. For being active in the beyond means receiving and distributing …. being active means constantly receiving new knowledge and passing it on, i.e. instructing souls who lack knowledge. Anyone who has already practiced caring for others on earth will have a very large field of activity in the beyond, for he will always carry out what he is told to do because love urges him to give what makes him happy and what he constantly receives. He will want to help to spread the light, he will be undauntedly active, and love will always underlie all activity, for love is strength which wants to express itself and thus expresses itself in lively activity. And therefore the human being should never find joy in an idle existence in earthly life, for this will burden him one day and he will hardly be able to fit in with regular activity which, however, is the epitome of that which signifies eternal happiness for the beings …. ….

Amen
