It is left to the will of man to establish the union with God or not. However, it is decisive for the whole of eternity whether he allows his will to become active in the right way, namely towards union with God …. He must express the admission of his own weakness and helplessness towards God through a conscious call to God, through prayer, which can also only be sent up in thought to Him, Who alone is strong and mighty. The human being has to acknowledge that God is lord over heaven and earth, and this acknowledgement then also results in submission to His will, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life. For the being is only then powerful when it no longer places itself outside of God’s power but works in the same will with God out of His power, because the power from God can only then flow towards it when it has given up its former resistance against God, thus no longer expresses any other will than God’s will. Giving up resistance therefore means increased strength …. a transformation of one’s own powerlessness into an inflowing abundance of strength …. A person enters this state through prayer, through the call of God, which is an admission of his powerlessness and weakness …. This moment is the actual turning point in his life, when he consciously turns to God. And this moment must absolutely occur in earthly life if his fate is to be decided favourably for eternity. For it is the state of realization which, although it only begins at this moment and is therefore still of the smallest extent, inevitably leads to increased knowledge because the spell which caused the night of the spirit has been broken. Once a person has called upon God in prayer, i.e. once he has turned to the powerful deity, his higher development will progress because the strength from God will support him. However, as long as he does not try to establish this bond, as long as he believes himself to be strong or independent of a stronger power, his state is powerless and his spirit is dark. If he enters eternity in such a state, his struggle for realization there is incredibly difficult, i.e. he does not strive for it because there is nothing for him that seems worth striving for. And this state is dreadful because it can last for eternities and in the beyond the opportunity to consciously turn to God is even less recognized and utilized than on earth. In earthly life the hardship and suffering often drives the human being to ask for help because the life force becomes active in him and drives him to strive for any change of his state. In the beyond, however, the soul is completely apathetic as soon as it is powerless, that it does nothing for its own redemption, that it therefore remains inactive, but its will is not forced in the beyond either. If the human being called upon the eternal deity in earthly life shortly before his death, then the knowledge of Him will remain with him in the beyond, he will continue to think and reason, he will pick up where he left off in earthly life, for once faith in a powerful God has awakened in him he will never let go of it but will turn to Him in every spiritual adversity, he will recognize his own imperfect state and he will also know that he has not made full use of earthly life. Through God’s call he has already become a recipient of strength and his soul experiences this flow of strength as an increased desire for God, even if it is not yet worthy of His presence. For this is the manifestation of divine strength, that it inevitably leads towards Him from Whom it originated, that the stream of strength flowing from God thus longs to return there and likewise urges the soul towards Him …. And this longing for God is also the surest guarantee for spiritual higher development in the beyond …. On earth the human being often still falls back into the old life, into the old thinking, as soon as he has come out of the great adversity that caused him to pray. In the beyond, however, the longing for God’s help remains because the soul feels its lack of strength …. This help it requested in prayer was not always granted to it on earth and yet the soul felt God’s love when it passed away and now it constantly longs for this love, even if it has not attained the degree of maturity to be able to enjoy the bliss of beholding God in the spiritual kingdom. The spell has been broken by God’s conscious call and spiritual striving immediately sets in in the beyond, that is, as soon as the soul has attained realization its will becomes active and the desire for God stimulates it into loving activity …. whereas souls which lack the first realization often remain in complete lack of will for endless times and this is also a state of weakness, a state of torment and despair and turning away from the beings of light which want to help them. The beings of light can likewise help the former and the souls will not close themselves to their ideas and thus progress in their development. The more intimately a person has established a connection with God in prayer on earth, the more he has detached himself from the opposing power and the less the soul is exposed to its hostilities in the beyond. For God will not abandon the soul which has once fled to Him in its distress and affliction, and a heartfelt cry for help will always bring it spiritual success, even if God, in His wisdom and love, does not fulfil the earthly request and ends the human being’s life. He knows about people’s weakness of will and so He truly knows best what serves the soul. And He will always give it the greatest possible opportunities for development, both on earth and in the beyond. Yet nothing is as necessary and significant as recognizing the eternal deity while still on earth …. as consciously contacting God in prayer …. For then the human being recognizes a powerful and mighty being above him and confesses his weakness and helplessness …. And then God takes hold of him and inevitably helps him to ascend ….

amen

The spark of divine love, which is placed in every human being’s heart, also ensures his existence as long as it is God’s will, i.e. God gave the human being life for the purpose of his higher development, and He will not end this life either before he has fulfilled his task as long as the human being strives upwards, because God does not act destructively against Himself and the spark of love in the human being is His share. Every person who constantly strives upwards would therefore be able to reach an old age because he uses his life exclusively for the salvation of his soul. However, if he disregards the soul, his life is not only spiritually but also earthly jeopardized, for God can call him away prematurely out of mercy in order to prevent a complete apostasy from Himself …. but man can also contribute through his turning away from God that the power of the adversary increases, that it now overflows him and suffocates the divine spark of love, so that he can no longer receive any power from God and this means a complete decay for body and soul. Then earthly life is pointless for him and it is taken from him. He has then broken off all connection with God of his own accord, even though the connection with Him remains for all eternity. But once the divine spark of love in him has been extinguished, life is also extinguished, first spiritually, then also earthly. For to live means to be constantly active, to live means to utilize the power from God to work …. Without power, however, it is not a state of life, but a state of death, powerlessness and torpor. The divine spark of love is therefore the breath which awakens to life, which constitutes life and which can now be ignited into the brightest flame, so that constant activity in love is the effect of a brightly shining flame of love which has its origin in God. A person who passes away on earth without love is also already spiritually dead, God just does not yet withdraw His love from him, i.e., He still lets the spark of love glow so little in him that it can still ignite. For as long as the human being is alive he is offered the opportunity to do so. As long as the human being is alive he will also feel love within himself, only it is often a wrong love, a love for things which distract from God instead of turning all his love towards Him. And such love for the world, for earthly matter, will always stifle the divine spark of love in the human being, thus rendering him incapable of unselfish loving activity. Working in love is the expression of the divine spark of love, which has been ignited and becomes a flame. The more this flame flares up, the more it warms the human being’s heart; it takes hold of everything so that the human being cannot help but be lovingly active and radiates his love to everything that surrounds him, so that his love also reignites the spark of love in the hearts of his fellow human beings and a constant activity of love is the result, which is absolutely necessary for the redemption of the soul ….

amen

You must not allow yourselves to be carried away into compromises if you have to defend Christ’s teaching in the coming battle of faith. You must clearly follow the path which God Himself prescribes for you, you must preach love to people and always practice love so that you set an example to those who are to accept your teaching. You yourselves must not deviate from the path of justice as soon as you demand justice from people. And so you will also have to rebuke what is not compatible with Christ’s teaching …. You must not give your approval by remaining silent when you see that people are obviously sinning against God’s commandments; you must reproach people for the wrongness of their actions and try to persuade them to desist. For the world no longer knows right from wrong because people have become blind in spirit. They consider everything to be right that brings them advantage without asking whether their actions harm their neighbour. And thus they disregard the commandments of love, and it must be pointed out to them time and again that they have no claim to God’s love as long as they themselves do not show the same love to their fellow human being. You must not fear the world but you must speak openly so that your fellow human beings clearly realize whose teaching you support. For you will never be able to do justice to both God and the world, you will never be able to convey God’s will to people if you do not dare to attack the world …. Men of the world do not heed the divine will and they must therefore be reproached for their wrong behaviour, otherwise the commandments of God cannot be made accessible to them. You will always recognize what contradicts these divine commandments …. And then you also have to speak and make yourselves representatives of the divine teaching, you have to profess Him, Who is love Himself; you have to remind people of His commandments who no longer respect them, you have to openly and wholeheartedly advocate that only the fulfilment of these commandments can bring blessings to people, whereas disregarding them means spiritual and earthly danger for humanity. And what is true for one person must also be true for another, and no one should be authorized to act without love, even if it benefits him. What is wrong must be branded as wrong, because what is against the divine commandments is wrong before God. But the divine commandments demand love for one’s neighbour and thus love for God. But love for one’s neighbour consists of not harming him physically or mentally, of granting him help when he is in need of help, of protecting him when he is in danger, be it mentally or physically …. And every offence is wrong and must also be denounced as such by those who are called to spread Christ’s teaching of love. Only then do you serve God, Who needs you as His instruments in order to be able to speak through you …. You yourselves must abhor all injustice so that you are the true representatives of God on earth ….

amen

You should steadfastly continue on your path and not allow yourselves to be stopped by the machinations of your enemies, who are your enemies because they want to take away your faith in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence …. in a God Who guides your destiny and Who can also save you from every adversity. You will have to overcome great opposition, you will experience great hardship, you will be attacked by your opponents, by those without faith, and you will always be met with hostility because you do not approve of people’s behaviour and reproach them for the divine commandments which they constantly transgress. And mockery and derision will be your response and brutal measures will accompany them, which shall affect you in every way. Yet don’t let your conviction dissuade you, don’t lose faith in the one Who can help you, turn to Him trustingly and call upon Him in every emergency …. He knows His children and stands by them, and He will give you strength in the battle against the children of the world. You can endure everything in view of Him for Whose name you fight …. He once carried a heavy cross, He took the suffering of humanity upon Himself, and He will also take your suffering upon His shoulders if you call upon Him. He will give you the strength to withstand every external challenge from the world that opposes you. For He will come to your side, as it were, and He will advise you where you should speak or remain silent, He will put His words into your mouth, He will give you courage so that you speak openly and unreservedly, without timidity and without fear that it could harm you. Always commend yourselves to His love and grace and be prepared to fight for Him, then you need not fear anyone, neither visible nor invisible enemies, neither people nor spiritual forces who want to harm you. For people have no power as long as you fight in God’s name, and the evil forces will not be able to oppress you in His presence either. And when you pray, pray for deep, unshakeable faith, for then you will be able to do everything and you will be powerful and invincible. You will lack nothing, even if people try to deprive you of everything, for the father in heaven sustains His children in a marvellous way, He provides His children with what they need for body and soul …. They will not need to go hungry, they will feel the strength and power of God’s love when the need is greatest. And so you should devote yourselves to Him in faith and serve Him with all willingness, then the world will not be able to harm you, for God assures you His protection, you who fight for Him and His name ….

amen

There is no greater problem than the incarnation of Christ …. This problem cannot be solved despite the best will and closeness to God as long as man dwells on earth. It is an immense grace that God gives people information in the most comprehensible way in order to make the significance of the work of redemption clear to them so that they do not pass by the greatest work of grace untouched …. Yet all these explanations are not enough to make the incarnation of God in Jesus comprehensible, for it was an act of divine love for which people still have no standard because they do not know the kingdom of light and therefore cannot imagine at what low level of development the eternal deity embodied Himself and how this embodiment should therefore be assessed. The incarnation of Christ is also an act of grace that can no longer be surpassed by the greatest love of God. It is proof of the deepest compassion and greatest willingness to help, of which a being is capable of making the spiritual being in greatest need happy with His presence, to step into the darkest shadow as the brightest light and to dwell in the same embodiment among people who have become loveless as purest love …. This is incomprehensible to people because they, as themselves only insufficiently capable of love, cannot even begin to measure God’s love; it is incomprehensible to them because they also do not know what it means for love to have to tolerate lovelessness next to itself …. because love is heavenly and divine, while lovelessness is from the depths and the divine therefore tolerates the satanic next to itself …. Purity and light were next to sin and darkness, power and strength next to powerlessness and weakness of will, love and goodness next to the hatred of men, to whom God descended in Jesus …. Not only that people were weak according to their degree of development, but their life far from God entailed this weakness, and this meant an immense spiritual darkness, which was the reason that God embodied Himself among people, that He clothed Himself with an earthly cover in order to exemplify to people the life they should lead in order to come close to Him …. He became a human being Himself and descended from above to the abyss, He clothed His fullness of light in a form which itself still had immature spiritual substance, and the immature external form still prevented the divine love, which sheltered itself within it, from working spiritually, and the body first had to be completely absorbed by love through the will of Jesus’ human being before divine love could take effect in it. And the man Jesus had to pass this test of will in order to now work and preach in the will of God …. Only then could the eternal deity express Itself through Him, Who fulfilled all conditions so that He could reveal Himself in Him, so that He could speak through Him to people who otherwise could no longer hear the divine voice because they had completely distanced themselves from God. This is why God came to earth, to people, because His word was no longer received by them and He wanted to make them happy again with His word …. And that is why He took on a human form in order to feel like a human being, to work like a human being and thus also to reach spiritual maturity so that God’s love would take up residence in Him and enable Him to do extraordinary deeds. He wanted to show people the path to the heights, which every human being must take in order to conform to Him already on earth ….

amen

The more despiritualized humanity is, the more difficult it is for it to find the right path back, since God’s adversary now has great power over it. And at the time of Christ’s descent humanity had reached such a low level that without divine help no human being could free himself from this power, which is why God Himself faced His adversary in order to defeat him through the power of His love and to give people the only means in their hands by which they could escape his power. God’s adversary had the whole of humanity behind him, God in Jesus faced him alone, and yet the power of His love was enough to break his power, for love is invincible, it just has to be applied correctly …. it must turn towards the unredeemed, it must be of divine origin, i.e., it must not become self-love and turn towards things which are part of God’s adversary. And this true love radiated from Jesus to every human being …. Jesus felt the deepest, most merciful love for suffering humanity under the spell of the adversary, and He wanted to help it. Such love had to wrest people from God’s adversary and render him powerless, because love was stronger than him and his power. Man as such was no longer able to muster such love in this spiritual state of all mankind. So eternal love embodied itself in a human being who had the will to redeem humanity …. This will enabled Him to take eternal love into Himself, for His will was always turned towards the good, He abhorred evil for the sake of evil, He was good from the bottom of His heart, He did not seek advantage, nothing was calculated, but only love for humanity drove Him to think, want and act. And thus God Himself was in Him in all fullness, for everything good is God, every noble thought is God’s spiritual radiance, which comes to fruition according to the will of man …. which increases to the deepest wisdom and the ability to accomplish everything that man wants …. God gave Himself a human shell in which He wanted to give people an example of what they are capable of if they utilize their will in the right way …. He became man Himself, He emptied Himself of all strength and power and walked as a man in the midst of His creatures, His body completely conformed to the laws of nature to which man as such is subject …. but He observed one thing …. He cultivated love and thereby drew his fellow human beings into the sphere of divine emanation of love, for what was grasped by His love was now also grasped by God Himself, Who worked in Him and through Him. God took abode in a human shell and He tried to change people by exemplifying a life of love to them in order to show them the strength and power of love to which everything that was subject to God had to submit …. which thus also compelled that one who had made himself God’s adversary through his lack of love and his free will …. God became man out of love for humanity, which in the darkest spiritual night could no longer find a way to Him because it disregarded the love that alone leads to God and overcomes the opponent of God ….

amen

All spiritual progress must be fought for …. must always be preceded by an overcoming of oneself if the soul is to mature and achieve spiritual success. And therefore the will always has to become active, the human being is not forced to do so but has to think and act in complete freedom of will …. And therefore it is often made difficult for him to test his will, obstacles are placed in his path, temptations of all kinds approach him which he can only resist with utmost strength of will, and if he does so then he will inevitably ascend. A constant struggle and overcoming is therefore man’s lot on earth, because otherwise he cannot reach the heights. Life on earth is a test in which the human being has to prove himself and he will fail if he does not constantly struggle and strive. For God wants to kindle the desire for Himself in the human being, He wants to strengthen it through every resistance so that the human being strives ever more and thereby comes ever closer to Him. There is no ascent without a fight, for even the person who is willing to love has to fight against himself, he has to suppress all self-love, he has to deny himself what he wants to do to his fellow human being, and this is always an inner battle before he has reached that degree of perfection which makes him forget himself. As long as earthly matter surrounds the human being he has to fight against it, and it requires a lot of willpower to completely free himself from the desire for it because the body is still too closely connected to it. But the human being who strives towards God increasingly puts matter aside, and when he is faced with the choice he gives it up with a light heart because God helps him in this battle as soon as He recognizes his will, thus the battle will be easier the more the human being strives towards God. For now love also becomes active in him, and this renounces far sooner everything that hinders man from ascending. Anyone who has love has already travelled the path of battle and emerged victorious, he has progressed spiritually and now his life will be easier, for he is now serving and therefore no longer needs to fight …. And every service in love is spiritual progress, every service in love is an overcoming of oneself of one’s own free will, which was preceded by a struggle as soon as the human being was in a low degree of maturity …. He must not become discouraged, for a high goal crowns his eager endeavour. He must always be mindful that he walks the earth for the sake of this goal and that only one thing is required of him …. submission to the divine will …. which he has so far resisted …. This requires overcoming and struggle until he has become love and fulfils the divine will without resistance …. until he has the same will and has thereby come close to God ….

amen

This battle in the last days has been foreseen since eternity, and the divine will, which guides (governs) everything that happens in the universe with wisdom and love, has been in force since eternity. And thus God also knows the only means that are still successful in these end times …. And no matter how cruel they may seem, He nevertheless applies them so that a part of humanity will still be saved from the final downfall. It is a time of horrors, a time of extreme unkindness and most terrible events, but also a time of grace …. For grace is every suffering, no matter how severe, that brings man to recognize his own helplessness, that allows him to find and walk the path to God and pulls him back from the abyss of complete faithlessness. God’s merciful love does not let go of His creatures and He applies what can bring them salvation, even if it is not recognized by people as God’s act of love. And thus there is still no end to the suffering and it increases from day to day, for disinherited humanity itself is the instigator and cause of this suffering on earth. Since eternity God foresaw the will and the lack of love of men, and since eternity the rescue plan for the souls still to be saved is based on it. For God does not prevent what people want, what they inflict on themselves, but He still allows the effect to be a blessing for those people who have not completely fallen prey to God’s adversary. These are in great distress and can only be saved through extreme suffering, which is hardly bearable for them and yet it can be a blessing …. The end times are a time of purification, a final testing period in which man can prove himself once again if he has previously failed. The end times are a time of dissolution and separation, and spirits will part from one another. And those who recognize the end times as such are no longer in danger, because they have already found the path to God …. But anyone who still only sees world events and sees no divine guidance in them, his soul is still very worldly minded and his distance from God still very great, otherwise he would have to recognize the last days by their cruelty …. For people are raging against each other and are under the control of those forces which are completely distant from God and without love, which want to destroy everything and make use of people’s will because they themselves do not possess the power and strength to have a destructive effect on that which God’s love has allowed to arise in order to help the spiritual beings which have become apostate from Him. These works of destruction betray satanic influence, thus the will of those who carry them out will have to answer to God for their thoughts and actions. And yet God also allows this because His love and wisdom has already prepared the following possibilities of development, because He also gives the spiritual, which is bound in form, new opportunities again to develop upwards. Yet the released, still completely immature spiritual substance still contributes towards people’s tribulation, and thus people’s suffering and hardship will become ever greater; it will assume unimaginable proportions and yet be permitted by God again as a means of education for humanity, for the last time of grace will only last for a short time …. Then the gates to eternity will close for a long time, and therefore God will use all means beforehand because His merciful love wants to save what can still be saved ….

amen

The secret of the power of divine love is only a secret to you because you yourselves practice too little love, otherwise you would feel this power in yourselves. You have the possibility of being able to work powerfully and mightily yourselves, because through loving activity you draw God’s love to you, which is power in itself. You would be able to accomplish the most extraordinary things, you would be capable of achievements which you would describe as miracles and which are nothing extraordinary after all, but only prove to you the power of love. Love is divine and therefore must also have divine qualities; thus, if a person has love, he must also be a God-like being who has strength at his disposal because everything divine is powerful. The human being is then not just an earthly being bound by narrow natural laws but already an aspirant of the spiritual kingdom, and thus he can also utilize the powers of the spiritual kingdom, God’s emanation of love, which he can receive once he has changed himself into love. God, as eternal love, imparts His strength to all beings which try to assimilate themselves to Him, which endeavour to live in love, and consequently love is the only way to be able to receive strength in all its fullness. And for anyone who receives strength from God nothing will be impossible …. People make so little use of this power that they are not yet aware of what they could dispose of, for they lack a deep faith in the power of love. They are still too rooted to the earth, they cannot free themselves from its laws because they lack the belief that they can do everything with the help of divine power, which they can acquire for themselves through eager activity in love. They do not put their knowledge into practice by utilizing this divine power in their unshakeable belief in it for extraordinary work. This work must always be based on love for fellow human beings, thus the human being may only request the divine supply of strength for works of neighbourly love which are beneficial to his fellow human being. They must again be motivated by love, then the love of God is obviously at their side, expressing itself as power that is not available to man as such. Faith and love can do everything …. If faith is not deep enough, then a person will not utilize the power of love either, and yet he would be able to continue to work for the benefit of his fellow human beings …. And therefore seek to penetrate the mystery of divine love …. try to realize that it is strength in itself and that the transmission of strength has to take place as soon as the human being carries out a deed of love because he thereby opens himself up to the influx of strength from God …. and that you can now make use of this strength or you will not feel it as strength …. Try to imagine that everything that exists has emerged from this strength and that you are now likewise able to accomplish things which require strength because the divine strength of love is at your disposal as soon as you yourselves are active in love and have thereby acquired the right to the divine emanation of love …. God does not withhold it from you, yet you must now also use what is offered to you; you must believe that you are able to do everything if you make use of the strength from God, and you must now utilize your might and strength for the spiritual and physical well-being of your fellow human beings …. then you will also be able to penetrate the secret of divine love ….

amen

In faith in God’s infinite, merciful love, man also sees world events as an act of mercy for souls who cannot find their way to God …. Then it is also understandable to him why God allows unspeakable suffering to afflict people through human will. The unkindness among them has already taken on such forms that it can soon no longer be surpassed, and yet God also uses the worst cruelties in order to influence the souls who are in error because they take pity on Him in their lack of light, their ignorance and lack of strength …. otherwise the might and power of God would truly suffice to put an end to these cruelties through His will …. However, if the soul is still to find its way back to God in the last days, it can only do so if it undergoes a total change of thinking, to which world events can contribute a great deal. However, God’s justice will also come to light and intervene as soon as human unkindness has reached its peak and resorts to means that surpass all previous cruelties. Satan is at work and he has great power over people because they are in bondage to him. He drives them to works of the most blatant unkindness and people follow him …. They carry out everything this demon tells them to do. God allows it until the day has come that will reveal His righteousness. The believer is convinced that God will intervene at the right time, for he also knows what a low spiritual state humanity is in and that it is capable of anything in order to seek its supposed right. He also knows that people themselves will by no means come to an agreement, that there is no way out of the chaos if God Himself does not create this way out. And they are preparing themselves for it. The unbelieving person, however, expects a natural outcome of worldly events, a restoration of the old order in a longer or shorter time, for he does not know what turn mankind is facing and what means alone can lead it back to the old order. And he will be surprised, even though he has been warned beforehand; he will be perplexed, if he is still able to think, and it will be difficult for him to seek help from the one Who holds all destinies in His hand. His unbelief will suffer a hard blow and it will be difficult for him to change the direction of his thoughts and to regard everything as an educational tool to help him find his way back to God. If he allows himself to be guided by the thoughts that assail him, he can still find his way out of the chaos and abandon himself to the power that only wants his best …. Then he will recognize God’s mercy, but also His justice, and the severe suffering will not have been in vain ….

amen

Every desiring person will be given spiritual nourishment and thereby he will recognize God’s love and kindness which reveals itself to him by illuminating his spirit. And this love expresses itself in such a way that thought follows thought and the human being becomes knowledgeable …. that the one who has become knowledgeable no longer harbours any doubts as to whether his knowledge corresponds to the truth. Every person will indeed advocate what he has mentally made his own, even though it need not be the pure truth, but in most cases it is knowledge taken over from people; it is therefore thoughts that he has not born himself but that have been transferred to him by fellow human beings. Such knowledge cannot be called self-acquired knowledge as long as it has not become his own spiritual knowledge through deep reflection …. And this reflection must now take place with the help of the divine spirit, i.e. the spirit of God must be approached for its work, which now separates right thoughts from wrong ones and gives the human being the realization of what is right and what is wrong. People make many assertions, all of which have been gained through intellectual thought, and yet they differ from one another and no human being can be blamed for a lack of intellectual activity …. On the other hand, the desire for the pure truth will be quite different in its strength. And this is the reason why all the results of intellectual activity are different. For only the desire for truth guarantees pure truth …. Because only then can God Himself, as the eternal truth, reveal Himself and He will also reveal Himself because His love wants to give man the truth which is to make him happy. Whoever desires to receive knowledge from God Himself will truly also be in the right knowledge; whoever excludes God and searches without Him, his thoughts cannot move in truth, because truth is only with God, nowhere else. Right thinking, i.e. knowledge that corresponds to the truth, cannot be achieved without being connected to God, even though the greatest worldly wise make it their life’s work to penetrate this in a research-like manner. His knowledge will never go beyond visible or tangible things which can be verified and proven on earth …. But how all these things are connected with God, with the creator, what spiritual meaning all that man sees and what surrounds him has, that cannot be fathomed scientifically. But the human being who is intimately united with God can ask Him all these questions, they will be answered for him through God’s great love and grace, and he will very well recognize the thoughts which now arise in him as God’s answer, they will appear to him as truth, they will move and delight him because truth is something divine and therefore must also delight and satisfy. This is why the person who has received such knowledge from God Himself will no longer ponder and research but unconditionally accept what he has received as truth, whereas the intellectual researcher will not stop his pondering and researching because he lacks innermost conviction, because he will not remain without doubt and ever new thoughts will make him discard the old ones, provided they are thoughts which have not emerged from his heart but from his intellect. However, if he has received it from fellow human beings, then his conviction is only weak and will soon be shaken as soon as he earnestly desires the truth. The will for truth and the call to God as the eternal truth is absolutely necessary in order to receive the pure truth and to be able to recognize it as pure truth ….

amen

The connection between the spiritual forces and the human being is beyond his knowledge as long as he is in defence of his survival after death. As soon as he believes that his life ends with the death of his body, it is impossible for these forces to make themselves recognizable to him, because their activity requires an opening up, i.e. a recognition of these forces and the willingness to be permeated by them. Thus, belief in them is a prerequisite and this is only the consequence of the belief in the soul’s continued existence …. The knowledge of the primordial beginning and final goal of the created is therefore necessary, just as man cannot believe what he is taught about it like a child. The constantly loving person will undoubtedly have this faith because the spirit from God can work in him and guide his thinking in the right direction. Everything that seems unacceptable to other people will be understandable to him. He is unconsciously in contact with God and even if he lacks direct knowledge he will usually feel and think correctly. But people who stand apart from God, because they stand apart from love, seek to fathom nature, that is, the visible creations, through research, and their research only covers the period of their earthly existence. For them, every thing ceases to exist as soon as it disintegrates, i.e. matter dissolves. And so they also regard the crown of creation, the human being, as a temporary creation whose existence only lasts as long as the body is visible on earth. They know that it exists, but not why it exists; they know nothing about the primordial beginning and the goal of this work of creation, and without this knowledge it is difficult for them to believe in the soul’s continued existence. They could certainly come to it through serious reflection but they lack the will to penetrate the pure truth. They are content with a knowledge that has many gaps and refrain from filling these gaps themselves. Instead, they build a wall of defence around themselves against intellectual influences …. They close themselves off to the work of those forces that could guide them into the truth if people were willing. They deny every connection with the spiritual world and reject every instruction coming from there without testing the effectiveness of those teachings. They lack faith in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence, consequently any belief in a connection between created things and their creator …. And only the belief in this allows all things to be recognized as purposeful and created for a purpose. This purpose and the ultimate goal of all that exists must be recognized, otherwise the human being walks completely in error. The final goal, however, is the perfection of the spiritual …. final goal is the state of light, which replaces the state of darkness. However, since it is always a matter of beingness that is to reach maturity, the state of light must apply precisely to this beingness, which is then also in supreme power with the light. Every bearer of strength, however, empties himself and again looks for powerless beings to whom he can communicate. Consequently, this powerful spiritual being is in the closest connection with the spiritual being on earth in order to let strength flow to it. The beings which are still in bound will also accept this flow of strength and thereby develop themselves upwards, but the human being, the most highly developed being on earth, resists it, it closes itself to the spiritual influx, for as soon as he rejects the giver of strength he cannot be a recipient of strength, and he will deny spiritual strength as long as he is unaware of the primordial beginning and the final goal and purpose of every work of creation ….

amen

The state of complete ignorance is far more favourable for people than being in a state of knowledge that does not correspond to the truth and not wanting to depart from their knowledge. Teachings which contradict their knowledge are unacceptable to them until they have scrutinized them. But the human being believes that he can eliminate such an examination because he believes himself to be in the truth. Thus, his will refuses to reflect and to weigh up both knowledge against each other; he sticks to his knowledge, he does not want to surrender anything and therefore the truth cannot be conveyed to him. If a person is completely ignorant, i.e. if he has not acquired his own view or knowledge from other people, it is much easier to make him think by giving him a few teachings and he can be led to the truth much sooner because his resistance is not so great …. Therefore, the gospel can also be spread more easily where no teachings have preceded it that have not flowed from the source of divine wisdom. False teachings are usually accepted without consideration, without resistance, whereas the truth is rejected and openly resisted. And yet it is the human being’s own fault if he walks in error, for he is offered both and his will has to decide for itself which he chooses. He is constantly given the opportunity to weigh up different views against each other and to test them for their truth, and he is also capable of such a test as soon as he is serious about accepting what he recognizes as right and rejecting the error. But where this serious will is not present, he does not respect the truth either, i.e. he does not consider it necessary to examine it but immediately rejects it. And so the teacher always has a difficult time if the person has absorbed too much earthly knowledge, for he tries to fathom everything divine in an earthly way and believes that he can explain and justify everything intellectually. The more he detaches himself from God, the more mature and knowledgeable he feels and the less he pays attention to true knowledge, which leads him back into the realm of the supernatural, which demands faith from him and enlightenment of the spirit. And therefore his spiritual state remains dark and lightless, despite all attempts by the bearers of truth to break through this darkness and guide his fellow human being into the right knowledge. Error is therefore not recognized as error and consequently not rejected and truth is equally disregarded because it is not recognized as truth. Nevertheless, the attempt must be made time and again to stimulate people to think, because then the bearers of light, the knowing beings of the beyond, will find access to them sooner and they can continue the work of enlightenment they have started, which the human being does not perceive as imposed knowledge but rather believes that he has come to different realization himself. Only then will the teacher on earth be successful because he will now be supported by the beings of light insofar as that they have already influenced the human being’s thoughts such that they are no longer inaccessible to the truth which is now offered ….

amen

It is an equally difficult task in the beyond as on earth to guide souls onto the path of truth and to proclaim the gospel to them as long as the soul itself is in a defensive position. For then the counter-effects to which the souls abandon themselves are still so strong. The will and the desire for spiritual knowledge predominates in them, which originates from God’s adversary and is therefore error. In the beyond it is the concepts which the human being has taken with him from his earthly existence which remain with him as long as he does not try to free himself from them. It is easier to free himself from them on earth than in the beyond, for ever new impressions can invalidate the views gained, whereas in the beyond the soul stubbornly defends its last impressions and concepts and is therefore difficult to disabuse itself of them. This is why the beings of light have a difficult job to begin with, which is only successful if carried out with love and patience. On earth, on the other hand, the transmission of pure truth is so difficult because, when the human being is made aware of the invalidity of his opinion, he also doubts the truth of what he is now being offered, and rightly so, as long as it does not originate from the source which guarantees the pure truth. And this is why instructing the erring souls on earth as well as in the beyond is an activity which requires love and perseverance and the realization of the unspeakable hardship of the souls who live in error. The latter causes the beings of light in the beyond to approach the ignorant souls time and again and to persuade them to accept the gospel which is offered to them with love. But this is a rewarding task insofar as that the souls are extremely receptive and willing as soon as they have accepted the teachings, that the instructive activity is therefore of greatest success, as soon as the beings of light have succeeded in breaking their will of rejection, whereas on earth people constantly doubt and find it difficult to recognize the truth offered to them as truth as long as they do not surrender to its effect without resistance, i.e. to live in accordance with the truth imparted to them, They try to live according to the truth imparted to them and then feel the power of truth in themselves in the form of increased desire for it and happy satisfaction as soon as the desire is fulfilled. Once the initial resistance has been overcome on earth and in the beyond, the teachings will result in great blessings and spiritual success. In the beyond the being now progresses faster in its development because, once it has realized, it strives extremely eagerly for perfection. On earth the human being is repeatedly taken up by earthly things, he does not allow spiritual development to become the sole purpose of his life and is repeatedly in danger of being overwhelmed by the world and its demands. He must put up the greatest resistance if his soul is to attain the necessary maturity in earthly life. And therefore the work on earth on the erring souls is even more important, but it is also supported by forces in the beyond which, as servants of God, seize every mentally prepared soul and take care of it with love and patience, that is, they now mentally instruct it in the same truth which is from God and therefore remains unchanging and must also lead to eternal life ….

amen

Woe to those who believe they can oppose My will …. who presume to want to jeopardize My word, which guides My love for the earth. That which expresses My strength is inviolable and therefore even those who violate it will come to harm. I only have one aim, to save you humans, and therefore stand by you in the greatest adversity which burdens you and supply you with My word and with it the strength to escape this adversity. I use all means which can contribute to this because I take pity on your adversity and you can never free yourselves alone. And so I obviously direct My strength to earth, and everyone who utilizes it, who wants to let it work on him, will noticeably feel it and no longer want to do without it. My word is the sign of My love for you earthly children, and you should value this gift of love of Mine …. you are to respect it …. and if you do not want to recognize it, then you should leave it unchallenged and not withdraw it from those who want to draw strength from it. But woe to those who lay hands on it …. who believe they can destroy what has come into being through My will and through My power …. they set their will against Mine and believe they can overcome Me …. they believe that they can snatch from people what I have given them as help. For they do not recognize Me and therefore also not My power and My righteousness. Their will is to destroy what My will has created. And thus they challenge My power, they force Me to make Myself known when action is taken against Me and My work. For I will not allow people of immature spirit to seize that which requires spiritual maturity in order to be seriously scrutinized. And neither will I allow a hair on the head to be harmed of those who work for Me and only carry out My commission and whose love and obedience to Me determined them to take on and carry out this commission. I have assured them and also their work of My protection and My word is truth …. Thus human will will never be able to destroy that which My will allowed to come into being …. for My power is unlimited and My will is sufficient to weaken every attack and to let it radiate back to the originator himself. And therefore beware, you who deny Me and My power …. beware and tame your will to destroy, for you are fighting in vain. And you will have to pay for it as soon as you disregard this admonition; your body will have to pay for what your will has caused …. What arises through My will must fulfil its destiny and human will will powerlessly shatter it. I truly do not convey My word to earth so that immature people want to try it out and assert their earthly power …. These fight against Me Myself and they will never be victorious but will be struck down by My strength and My will, because I cannot allow humanity to be deprived of a gift of grace which My love and My wisdom deem necessary in order to bring help to humanity in greatest spiritual adversity ….

amen

People cannot imagine how God will express Himself because a work of destruction will take place the magnitude of which has not yet been experienced. And that is why the predictions will not be believed and also remain without effect, because people do not want to accept something extraordinary and they consider an intervention by God that destroys creations to be completely out of the question. However, God expresses Himself in a form that is unusual because the purpose of the works of destruction is to tear people out of their daily lives and place them in different living conditions that are intended to change their thinking and their way of life. And therefore God will prove His might and His strength to people through the forces of nature, He will reveal Himself to people in the elemental eruptions, He will deprive them of all strength and make them realize their helplessness so that they will turn to Him for help, so that they will confess Him in their hearts and call upon Him for His help. It will be a process which will make people freeze, for the raging of the forces of nature will be so powerful that they will believe that the end of the world has come …. And people will not know the extent of the natural disaster, they will only be able to survey their immediate surroundings and will be unaware of the actual extent of the work of destruction because every connection with the environment will have been severed. These will be terrible hours, hours of extreme hardship and deepest despair, because no human being will be able to fight the forces of nature, because everyone will have to endure what God has imposed on them. The divine voice will be audible to everyone, for it will resound with such strength that no-one will be able to close their ears …. it will cause fear and terror …. And yet it is the voice of love that speaks to people …. is only so powerful because the quiet voice is not heeded and because man must be called if he does not want to perish in the way of life he leads …. without God and without faith in a continuation of life after death. Admittedly, even this obvious manifestation of God will not be recognized by most people for what it is; a guiding and fate-determining God will be rejected by many all the more, yet the immense natural event will stimulate people to reflect, and then the will of the individual is decisive as to how far his thinking corresponds to the truth and how he allows the thoughts he now receives to have an effect on him. He can come to the right realization if he does not close himself to the bearers of truth who mentally try to instruct him and if he listens to people who preach to him about God’s love and about the meaning and purpose of earthly life. God gives all people the opportunity to come to the right realization, and only the will for truth is necessary for him to derive the right benefit from the dreadful experience. Yet only a few will have this will and they cannot be helped in any other way, even if this natural disaster passes them by without leaving any impression. God uses the last resort before the final divorce …. He tries to change people’s thinking once again, He makes them aware of the transience of earthly things and lets them get into situations where they should seek Him and long for Him in order to be able to help them. And therefore He allows a work of destruction to take place which, however, simultaneously signifies a redemption for the spiritual substance bound in solid form …. Ignorant mankind only sees the overwhelming destruction, but the knowing man knows about the necessity and the blessing of such destructions for the spiritual development of the being …. He also knows about the danger humanity is in, that it does not recognize its creator …. that it lives irresponsibly and does not fulfil its last purpose of earthly life. And He knows that God only lets His mighty voice be heard because He is pitied by humanity, which does not recognize His reign and work. He knows that God only wants to help the erring souls so that they will recognize Him when He speaks to them through the forces of nature ….

amen

The acceptance of the divine Word requires constant willingness and joyful dedication to God. This is why it can only be achieved by people with a God-orientated will, who strive to live a God-pleasing way of life and who put their spiritual aspiration above all else because they desire to be with God and want to be of service to Him. For only the desire for Him enables the human being to hear the divine voice within himself, the desire for Him makes him quick of hearing and sensitive to everything that comes from God. God’s gift is at every person’s disposal without discrimination; nevertheless, it does not impose itself and will therefore only be recognised by someone who pays attention and opens his senses to the spiritual flow, who thus consciously and attentively listens inside and thus can also receive the divine gift from within. The divine gift is to be found in the heart, it is the treasure which only needs to be unearthed, which requires no external practices in order to gain possession of it. It is within reach of everyone who merely makes the effort to bring it to light …. God’s love offers itself to people in His Word, and people’s love must accept His gift, the human heart must strive towards Him with the same love in order to then be able to receive His Word as a token of His love ….

For the Word is the sign of His love which He wants to give to all people through a person. A willing and loving person must become the bridge from Earth to the beyond, he must readily place himself at His disposal, he must yearn for God’s love and thereby make his heart receptive for the divine Love Itself …. he must desire unity with God and willingly lend his ear to the divine voice which can only reveal itself through such a person. Only a person who carefully listens can hear; and a person only listens carefully if he believes in a Power Which manifests Itself for love of humanity …. The recipient must believe in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence, so that he will look for and find in faith the reason for the divine Word which is conveyed to Earth …. And he must live a life of love, for only love draws the Eternal Love close to him. Love for his fellow human beings drives him to pass on the received Word, and anyone who accepts this task of spreading the divine Word amongst people will also always be endowed by God and be able to hear His Word …. God will constantly offer him delectable gifts, He will reveal Himself to him and educate him for a task which is so extremely important that God will bless everyone who places himself at His disposal as a labourer in His vineyard ….

Amen

He who has love also has My spirit, and he who is active in love will obviously experience the working of the spirit in himself. For I Myself am present where love is. And My presence can be recognized by the fact that I speak to the one who lives in love and make him happy through My word. Thus I Myself am in the word with those people who fulfil the commandment of love, as I have promised. My word is truth, and if you humans want to experience the fulfilment of My promise in yourselves, you must live in love, you must keep My commandments …. I truly do not place a great burden on you and I do not demand anything unfulfillable from you, yet I cannot release you from this commandment if you want to unite yourselves with Me, if you want My spirit to come alive in you and if I want to be with you in the word. above alone is the binding agent which indissolubly unites you with Me. Whoever lives in love remains united with Me for all eternity. I am with him wherever he is, My spirit always and constantly teaches him, My word sounds to him daily and hourly as soon as he desires to hear it, My strength flows through him and constantly impels him to be active in love, and thus he belongs to Me for all eternity …. For I Myself am love, and anyone who shapes himself into love is as it were a part of Me which strives towards its original origin again and thus has reached its spiritual goal …. to be intimately merged with Me again in order to be able to immerse himself in My eternal flood of love. The fusion of all spiritual substances into love is an incomparably blissful process which cannot yet be grasped by you humans as long as you live on earth. And yet this intimate fusion has to be striven for on earth, the human being has to strive towards Me in ignorance of its effect, he has to shape himself into love without realizing the bliss which will result from it in eternity. Yet I already let him experience a foretaste on earth by making him happy with My word, the evidence of My presence and My immense love for people. With this word I endeavour to win all people. Tasting the bliss of receiving requires loving activity, and every person should be encouraged to do so in order to come into possession of My word. If My spirit is also to be able to work in a fellow human being he has to practice love, and thereby he draws Me to himself, thereby he awakens the spirit in himself to life, he makes his heart his home for Me and he awaits Me full of longing …. And again I can take abode in a person and merge with him …. And this is what My word shall bring about, that people long for My nearness, that they obey what I demand of them through My word, that they shape themselves into love, are constantly active in love and thus fulfil the preconditions which result in My personal presence. I do not deny any person to unite with Me, yet this always presupposes profound, unselfish love, but this connects us indissolubly with each other. My spirit of love radiates through everything that turns to Me in love and drives it to ever more active love …. And anyone who is united with Me hears My word …. and My closeness is perceptible to him, for he feels it as bliss in his heart, as peace and constant longing for My expression of love …. as a longing for My word ….

amen

It is an extremely difficult mission to lead people who have fallen away from God back onto the right path …. to the path of knowledge that leads to God. It is a mission that requires extreme patience and the greatest love and perseverance, which is why only very few people make themselves available for such a task. But these few work for the kingdom of God and will also be blessed as long as they devote themselves to this work. The lack of God-trained strength has the effect that people rarely only walk in truth, and this in turn results in them not valuing their earthly life highly enough in order to utilize it accordingly for their souls. If they are offered the pure truth, if they understand the human being’s purpose and goal on earth, then they will also live their life accordingly if they are not completely opposed to God and believe that they can remain without any knowledge. Anyone who does not recognize God will also not accept any teachings and will hardly be led onto the right path …. However, anyone who does not completely resist God can come to recognize the truth offered to him as soon as it is conveyed to him in love and patience. The truth speaks for itself, the truth carries the strength within itself, and everything would appear easily comprehensible and acceptable to people if they had not previously been offered error, which would have clouded their vision and weakened their will. And yet, error has to be displaced by truth, and this is the mission of those on earth who want to serve God, who themselves know the truth and therefore also recognize the consequences of walking in error. They must be constantly active in passing on the truth that they themselves receive from God for this very mission. Most of the time they will encounter resistance, they will experience more rejection than approval and yet they must not be discouraged by this. Love for the erring souls must motivate them to take care of them again and again and to instruct them in the truth. For at the same time as the earthly labourer, the lord’s spiritual labourers are also active, who try to intervene in the train of thought of erring people and likewise endeavour to change their thinking. Every support on earth through consciously spiritually directed conversations is gratefully accepted by the teaching beings in the beyond, as it is often the cause for reflection which gives them the opportunity to exert their influence on people’s thinking. And therefore the willingness of an earthly human being to contribute towards spreading the truth from God will always be blessed by God, after all, it is a matter of bringing help to those who are without contact with God, who are so distant from Him that they are unable to recognize Him and who therefore walk along in the darkest spiritual night. Even if the endeavours on earth have little success, they often still have an effect in the beyond and can then be the beginning of a change of heart, the beginning of his ascent upwards. The divine word, the pure truth, which is offered to a person in love, has an effect as a force, if only it is not openly resisted. And this power has a lasting effect as soon as a person mentally takes a stand on the truth, even if it takes a long time. This is why we cannot work hard enough to spread the divine teaching, for there is much error among humanity and therefore also spiritual need, which requires help. And no labourer in the vineyard of the lord should allow himself to be discouraged by the rejection, mockery or displeasure of those to whom he wants to offer the truth. His zeal will not be in vain, and the souls will thank him one day that his love has taken care of them …. The endeavour to guide erring souls into truth will not be abandoned on the part of the beings of light, even if they constantly resist …. because everything that is full of light and stands in truth is constantly active for the salvation of erring souls ….

amen

Everything supernatural seems unacceptable to the human being, but only as long as he is turned towards the earthly and does not strive for spiritual perfection. For then he also does not believe in the survival of the soul and therefore also not in a spiritual realm that extends into the earthly realm, i.e. is connected to it. Supernatural things are always sparks of light from the spiritual kingdom as soon as they appear to the human being, visibly or also emotionally. For the beings of the spiritual kingdom sometimes express themselves tangibly to people, they communicate with them or they make themselves recognizable to them in some other way in order to induce them to enter into contact with them. They make themselves known to them in a way that cannot be explained with human senses; they are certainly perceptible but not with the physical senses alone, instead the will to penetrate the spiritual kingdom has to open people’s spiritual eyes and ears in order to be able to hear or see the beings of this kingdom. The spiritual beings can express themselves as soon as people expect them to do so, and therefore there is a certain danger in the attempts to make contact with the beings when no thirst for knowledge but only curiosity motivates people to establish a connection with the spiritual world, because such a desire utilizes those spiritual beings which are still imperfect. That they express themselves can indeed be advantageous insofar as that man now learns to believe in a survival after death, but he will receive no valuable announcement or enlightenment for him, because he also does not demand such; and he will also be easily inclined to reject all experiences in this respect again, therefore he is not firmly convinced that there is a spiritual kingdom whose inhabitants want to get into contact with men. Nevertheless, he does not completely reject the supernatural. The man of the world, on the other hand, scoffs at the people who enter that realm and live in constant contact with the beings …. He sees and hears nothing supernatural because he lacks all ability to grasp the spiritual and also has no will to penetrate knowledge that touches a supernatural realm and is conveyed to people in a supernatural way. He does not recognize any spiritual kingdom, consequently also no results from it. And thus he denies everything supersensible, everything he is unable to grasp with his senses. Hence he will not allow himself to be taught either, for he only ever judges according to his intellectual thinking because he does not want to accept the voice of the spirit. And intellectual thinking will always oppose the messages from the beyond. The more earthly-minded a person is, the less he understands things that touch the spiritual realm. But God is a spirit and those who want to find Him must seek Him in a spiritual way. And that is why the worldly man is also so quickly prepared to deny God completely, and he substantiates his views with intellectual reasons which can only be refuted with spiritual knowledge which he does not recognize. And yet, every human being could convince himself that there are things which he is unable to grasp with his mere senses as soon as he himself attempts to make contact with the world beyond …. as soon as he surrenders himself without reluctance to the inhabitants of the spiritual world …. If only the desire for truth is the cause of such an attempt, he will very soon be convinced of the existence of spiritual beings in a way that does not harm his spiritual development. He will feel that there is something else living besides him and what is visible to him …. He will experience things which he cannot dismiss with his worldly knowledge and which will cause him to reflect seriously. But the man of the world is not filled with the desire for truth, and then such attempts will only lead him into other doubts and he will remain ignorant as long as he does not allow himself to be taught by those who know. What reaches down to earth from the beyond will always signify increased knowledge because it provides information about the spiritual world, about the activity of spiritual beings and about God’s reign and activity …. But it is to be seen with eyes and heard with ears, which open themselves, therefore want to see and hear, and which therefore can also be considered according to their desire. Everything earthly can be proven, everything spiritual, supernatural has to be believed, since no proof can be provided for the sake of the human being’s freedom of faith and will. And that is why the knowledge of the supernatural cannot be established as a doctrine, but it is up to each individual to decide how he feels about it. However, the person who does not recognize anything supernatural is unspeakably poor in knowledge. The divine rule and activity remains hidden from him, the truth remains hidden from him, and his life is empty as long as he only pursues earthly goals and pays no attention to or rejects what comes to him from the realm of the supernatural. His knowledge is small and limited, however great it may be in the earthly realm …. it never reaches the depth and scope that would be offered to him from the spiritual realm if he were to recognize the latter and allow himself to be taught by those who belong to this spiritual realm.

amen

The demands that God makes of man during his life on earth can be fulfilled very easily, and none of them are beyond the power of man. God does not demand anything impossible or difficult to fulfill from him. It only appears unfulfillable to him when he no longer acknowledges God or is distant from Him through his way of life. For then this way of life is precisely contrary to the divine requirements. Therefore, only the right relationship with God needs to be established in order to be in possession of the strength that allows him to carry out his task in life …. to fulfill the divine requirements, the commandments of love for Him and for his neighbour. Everything the human being accomplishes is an expression of divine strength which will always flow to him as soon as he needs it and, by acknowledging God, opens himself to this flow of strength. If he now performs works of love then God Himself is, as it were, active in him, i.e. His spirit impels him to carry out every activity, and the human being will never be without strength if he gives in to this inner urge. The inner urge of a person who strives to fulfill God’s will is such an expression of the spirit, and this inner urge should therefore always be complied with …. Then he will always fulfill God’s requirements, because what the spirit in him wants is the will of God, thus His language. The more willing a person is, the more likely he is to comply with this requirement and he will never feel that it is too high or impossible to carry out. For as soon as he carries out a deed of love the strength to carry it out further will already flow to him, he will act as a matter of course, he will neither feel forced to do it nor feel that it is an oppressive burden, his way of life will completely correspond to God’s will and therefore his life will also bring him the success which is the purpose and goal of his embodiment on earth. God knows about all His creatures, He also knows about their weakness of will, their lack of strength and their weak power of resistance …. therefore He makes His demands according to all these deficiencies, and He is always ready with His strength to let them overflow as soon as the human being has the will to accept them. All He requires is that the human being changes his will, that he gives his free will to Him …. then all means and powers will be at his disposal, then he will always be able to accomplish what God requires of him. Weakness no longer exists from the moment the human being requests God’s assistance; the human being is strong as soon as he turns to God in his weakness, even if he still often feels weak, this is only a means which God uses in order to make him ask all the more sincerely and desiringly, because the strength from God can only become effective where it is desired from the bottom of the heart. The human being must not become indifferent, he must remain aware of his task on earth and constantly entrust himself to God so that he can always meet God’s requirements, which only consist of demonstrating love for God through active love for his neighbor ….

amen

Let nature speak to you …. it illustrates indescribable works of wonder and constantly reveals My love and omnipotence to you …. Listen and behold …. Look at each creature and become aware of My creative will and My strength …. and of Myself in all My works of creation. See, how uniquely delightful and varied these creations are and how meaningful each one fulfils its intended purpose and how the purpose of every work of creation is the preservation of all creation …. Let Me speak to you Myself through nature and listen to My voice, then you will recognise My omnipotence, love and wisdom and bow before it, then you will know that you are the greatest work of creation on earth made by My hand and understand how infinitely much I care that you remain within Me …. Since each work of creation only came into being because of you, it is a mere preliminary stage from which you evolved into what you are now, into free, independent creations which can become infinitely more than they are now.

Observe nature and see its development, its progression, which can be recognised in all creations of nature. The tiniest being is My work, the tiniest blade of grass is My thought which took on shape. And every creature obeys My will, it does what I have assigned it to do and serves the human being again by ensuring his existence. Nothing is without purpose and aim, nothing happens without My will, everything is based on My wisdom and love. Should My wisdom not be evident to you because you don’t know of the relationship between all works of creation then recognise My love, which consistently expresses itself in the wonders of nature.

See how everything around you grows and flourishes, how it matures and bears fruit, see, how the same process repeats itself over and over again …. for you …. to protect you human beings and to preserve everything that is alive on earth …. I shaped innumerable creations of most diverse proportions, of most diverse forms and purposes, and if you open your eyes and ears nothing escapes you and My infinite love and wisdom has to become evident to you …. Because I give so that you can receive, I create so that you can benefit from it, I maintain and care for the creation so that your heart can rejoice in it and you recognise Me …. Me, Who I Am since eternity and Whose existence you doubt …. Whose will and being you want to exclude and Whose creations you regard as having evolved by themselves.

You blindly pass by all wonders of creation and don’t understand the language of nature, you see the creation but not the Creator within; indeed, you see the effect but not the cause, the will, which is the foundation of every creation. You believe yourselves to be full of wisdom and able to discover the origin of all things yet your knowledge is patchwork as long as you don’t acknowledge Me as the primary origin of creation. I move close to you in every work of nature, it is the expression of Myself, it is a thought that took shape in accordance to My will; every natural creation is proof of My existence because nothing would exist without Me, because My will alone called into being what you see and what surrounds you. And nothing can be or become without My will, nothing can exist if My will and My wisdom do not approve. But My will, My love, My wisdom and My power must also teach you to believe in an Entity, they must make you realise that they belong to a Being which also wants to speak to you through the wonders of nature, which wants to be closely united with you because you, also being His work of creation, are the sole reason for the origin of all creation ….

I want you to become aware but then you have to listen to the language of creation, to the voice which expresses itself in nature, you have to communicate with Me, the intrinsic Creator of all things, and I will answer your questions and give to you according to your will to seek the truth, providing you acknowledge Me as the provider of truth. I Am near to you at all times, as soon as you desire to hear Me, as soon as you send just one thought upwards to Me. And therefore you shall find Me wherever you are, but more likely if you look for Me in solitude, where everything around you reminds you of the Creator, Whose will created heaven and earth, because His love decided to give the essence, which formerly had separated from Him, the opportunity to come closer to Him once again. And the knowledge of this shall be given to you human beings, the knowledge of this you shall desire yourselves, and therefore you should listen to the language of nature because through it I speak to those of you who want to hear Me ….

Amen

The world will still have to go through boundless misery because the time is coming to an end which is given to people for their final redemption. They still have to endure much suffering and fight unspeakably, for it is a struggle with the forces of the underworld from whose influence they are to free themselves. This liberation can only be possible with the support of good forces, with the help of God, Who therefore has to be called upon because His strength and help cannot be given to people unsolicited as long as they do not acknowledge God and His working of love. However, humanity is very stubborn and cannot find the path to God on its own, therefore suffering and adversity approach them to such an extent that they are, as it were, forced onto the path which leads to God …. that they have to turn to Him in prayer because they have no other earthly way out. And yet the majority of people pass Him by and thus increase the extent of their suffering and hardship. And God’s mercy now resorts to the last resort in order to win over the few who have not yet made up their minds …. He allows a calamity to befall the earth which was not caused by human will, although human will, because it is turned away from God, is the indirect cause of the event …. He determines the elements of nature to extraordinary activity …. He expresses Himself in such a way that people are now once again forced to take a stand towards God, that they can now easily establish the right relationship with Him if their souls are not completely hardened. divine will determines the time, and His power expresses itself when a low point has been reached on earth which necessitates divine intervention. The hard trials beforehand are likewise an opportunity to establish the right relationship with God, and blessed is he who does so, even if he loses his earthly life as a result. He is then protected from complete darkness as soon as he enters the spiritual kingdom. Earthly suffering is not as agonizing as a state of complete darkness in the beyond. But the suffering on earth takes on forms which would have to shake the entire human race in its thinking, for it is faced with changes in living conditions which seem unbearable to it …. Yet even then the eternal deity will still not be recognized, indeed, the great suffering will still contribute towards denying Him completely. But these people are already so far away from God that there is no salvation for them in this period of redemption. They have to cover the path on earth once more and start it again in the most solid matter, which is unimaginably agonizing …. yet their will itself determines and entails the consequences, for if the human will is not yet broken in a time of greatest hardship and earthly tribulations, if it does not yet submit itself to the eternal deity, then God’s merciful love has to resort to other means in order to still change this will …. He has to bind it again in such a way that it longs for freedom …. And this is a new period of redemption which will soon begin and thus signifies the end of the old earth, which is imminent ….

amen

And you humans have to submit yourselves to the creator’s will, for since you have misused your free will it will be taken away from you again and you will have to go through another course of development in a state of compulsion which is agonizing for you, where you are no longer allowed to determine yourselves but only divine will comes into effect. God knows about all these torments of the new course of development for the spiritual now embodied in man, and His love and mercy seeks to avert these from His earth children as far as possible; He would like to help them that they still bend their will under that of the creator in the old earth life, so that they do not belong to those, who cannot exist before God at the end of this redemption period and therefore have to be banished anew in the solid form. And therefore He still uses all means beforehand in order to change their will. This is why you humans have to regard everything that happens around you, no matter how painful it is, as the last means of education which God tries on you for the sake of your salvation. Anyone who rigidly persists in his will, i.e. who does not bow to divine will …. i.e., who only lives in self-love and disregards love for his neighbour and thus does not fulfil God’s will, has little success to expect from his earthly life; even the last means of education will no longer change him, and the last days with the most severe suffering will not bend his God-rebellious will …. He is lost for eternity and a new life on earth in bondage is his fate. Unspeakable suffering will therefore still befall the earth beforehand, caused by human will itself, because satan confuses people’s thinking and drives it to cruel works of destruction …. but on the other hand also through the will of God Himself, Who has likewise planned a work of destruction since eternity in order to liberate countless still bound beings and thereby let people on earth get into such trouble that they should turn to Him for help …. And what now comes over the earth …. regard it as the last means to win souls for God …. believe that it is a sign of God’s great love and mercy, and try to make yourselves worthy of this love by looking within yourselves and making an earnest effort to change. For there is only a short time left until the final destruction of everything that now lives on earth ….

amen

It is a state of complete solidification, which is granted to the spiritual, which has not passed its last earth life test and is bound again in the solid form, which therefore has to go through the course of development on earth once again. divine love withdraws from this spiritual being insofar as that it is no longer touched by the radiation of power and now cools down, that it is completely lifeless, without strength and without power, that it has to take up residence again in dead matter, which is an agonizing cover for it through endless times. It is a terrible change for the spiritual, a regression of most serious significance. It is a decline from the state of partial knowledge into the state of deepest ignorance, for everything is taken from it again that was its share through the endless long earthly course before. It has become powerless and unfree through its distance from God, it now has to endure the most solid cover and it cannot defend itself against this change of its outer form; its will is bound again, therefore it has to endure everything God has determined in His wisdom. As soon as the soul departs from earth before the total transformation of the earth takes place, its state is not hopeless. In the beyond it can attain realization and strive to ascend, whereas after this transformation of the earth’s surface the possibility of ascent in the beyond is ruled out because everything imperfect has been banished beforehand in the new creation, but the souls of the people who enliven these creations have attained a degree of perfection upon their departure which enables them to enter the kingdom of light. It is therefore a special act of God’s grace if the human being is recalled by God from earthly life before this transformation. For these are still entitled to the possibilities of ascent in the beyond, and their struggle for perfection is not as dreadfully difficult as that of the beings which, bound in the solid form, have to start their course of development on earth again. Yet they will therefore still have to go through a difficult battle on earth so that they at least reach the degree that they will not constantly slide downwards in the beyond and make themselves unworthy of God’s love. For these souls are then in the same danger of becoming completely hardened and ending up in dead matter again, because the stubborn rejection of God’s love results in this state …. namely the hardening of the spiritual substance, which is therefore synonymous with the banishment of the spiritual in the new creation, in the most solid form …. For the love of God is synonymous with life, but the removal from divine love is death …. a state of powerlessness and impotence, a state of lifelessness, in which the being remains until it is prepared to give up its resistance, which results in the attention of divine love, therefore also a letting up of the hard compulsion around itself, and a less oppressive outer form earns it, and its higher development now starts again ….

amen

People lack the knowledge of the primordial beginning and the final goal of everything that exists, and therefore they do not live their earthly life consciously. But no human being can say that this knowledge was never conveyed to him, even if not in detail, at least the belief in a deity was suggested to them Whose pleasure they should gain through their way of life …. This has always been held out to them with regard to the effects in the kingdom beyond, thus it has always been the prerequisite for life after the death of the body, and the human being could now take a stand on it according to his will …. As soon as he now lets this faith become strong in himself he penetrates ever deeper into knowledge, i.e., he is mentally instructed by the knowing beings in the spiritual kingdom according to divine will, the meaning and purpose of the works of creation and therefore also of the human being is informatively presented to him, the sense of responsibility is awakened in him, and of his own free will he now tries to comply with divine will …. he transforms himself into love and thus now fulfills his actual task on earth. But people of the present time are not accessible to such knowledge, they regard their earthly life as a purely external matter which does not entail any future responsibility, and thus they will never make an effort to find an explanation for the endlessly long path of earthly life, they will only ever pay attention to purely earthly events and never think about why God has given His permission for an activity which makes countless people responsible ….

Only the meaning and purpose of life on earth, i.e. a task connected with it, can justify what is happening in the world, what suffering and misery is being poured out on people and what cruelty is taking place. But people can never justify themselves if they themselves lend a hand and increase the evil. Anyone who knows about the primordial beginning and the final goal also knows that humanity is still very far from the final goal and therefore also knows that the great suffering is still a possibility to reach the goal. And yet people’s behavior cannot be approved of, which causes such suffering to fellow human beings, for people’s will is bad, only the effect of their bad will is directed by God in such a way that it can still spiritually benefit the human being as soon as he feels prompted to flee to Him and seeks help from Him. If people would pay attention to the thoughts arising in them about the purpose and goal of earthly life, if they would desire answers to such questions and quietly listen inwardly to what mentally comes to them as an answer, they would also recognize in every worldly event a means to reach the final goal set for them. But thus the disbelief about the soul’s continuation of life after death is so widespread that people only see the purpose and goal of earthly life in earthly life in general, and as long as they only have this purely earthly view world events will be incomprehensible to them because they have a completely opposite effect, thus they completely contradict the goal they have set for themselves. And this is blindness of spirit, it is short-sightedness, because they regard that which is only a means to an end as an end in itself …. It is an ignorance which has a highly detrimental effect because the actual purpose of earthly existence is not taken into account and therefore not striven for. And again, it is difficult to guide people into this knowledge as long as they do not believe in life after death …. as long as they do not believe that earthly life is only a preliminary stage for the actual life, a school which they have to complete in order to be accepted into the kingdom where the actual life begins …. They must first gain this faith if they want to understand the suffering and misery, tribulation and distress that is currently happening on earth ….

amen

For many people the suffering and tribulations only begin with the divine intervention, for they had previously remained untouched by it and ignored all admonitions. The adversity of their fellow human beings did not bring about a change in their thinking and therefore they themselves must now suffer hardship which is, as it were, the last resort for their salvation …. And that is why those countries will now be affected which have so far been spared severe suffering and yet are not blameless for the world events which have brought unspeakable suffering upon people. Many people pass by the hardship of their fellow human beings harshly and unfeelingly and it is these who have to endure the suffering themselves, which their will approved of when it came upon their fellow human beings because they saw their enemy in the latter. And what people inflict on their fellow human beings now falls back on them a thousand fold …. And they now have to atone in this way, except that human will cannot put an end to the misery, for it is not human powers which now express themselves but divine will itself is at work and hits people at their most vulnerable point …. He takes all possessions from people, He makes them poor and weak and completely dependent on His grace. And in this adversity people should learn to recognize that they are unable to do anything by their own strength, they should learn to understand that God is just and that He sensitively punishes people who have transgressed against Him and His commandments, but that He also protects those who are closely connected to Him even though they are surrounded by people who no longer care much about God. And many will still come to their senses and compare their own fate with that of those people whose downfall was destined by human beings. What God is now sending upon people is so powerful and sorrowful that every thinking person would have to recognize a higher will in it and reflect on himself. But again he will only think of himself; he will not see the general misery but only look at himself and his fate. And so charity will be practiced little, everyone will only strive to improve his own lot and again he will pass by the misery of his fellow human being …. And God, Who knows everyone’s will, therefore sends such great suffering upon people in order to change this will, to make them soft and compassionate and to let them seek refuge in Him, Who alone can turn their fate around for the better.

amen

The task of those who want to serve Me is difficult, yet My strength and grace will always be with them, I will always stand by them and they will always recognize My guiding father’s hand …. They will have to pass many a fatherhard test of faith and will always need new strength in order to be able to face all opposition. However, they can always be sure of My guidance, and thus I will lead them over cliffs and rocks, over thistles and thorns, always along the right path that leads upwards towards Me. My spirit will always be with them and they will (always and) constantly hear My voice within them, which will strengthen, comfort or call them. And if they are unable to hear Me, I will knock more strongly at the door of their hearts, and their anxiety and timidity will give way if they are afflicted by it, their faith will be strengthened and all weakness will fall away from them. And so hear My voice, you who are discouraged or fainthearted: I will not let anyone fall who wants to fight for Me, I will give you My word as a sign of My everlasting love. And this love will truly not leave you in your soul’s adversity, it will help you in every weakness of will, for I know of your will to be Mine and to serve Me. Your task is not easy and yet you will accomplish it as long as you take refuge in Me in every adversity of the soul …. I will increase your strength and time and again you will be able to take up the battle for Me, newly strengthened and full of confidence that you will succeed. You live in the midst of a world which no longer wants to have any connection with Me and which is therefore full of dark thoughts. And this darkness also wants to overshadow you, it wants to extinguish the light which shines in you through your love for Me and your faith in Me …. And therefore the darkness tries to devour you, and these are the struggles and resistances which oppress you and make you despondent …. But you should know that I, the light Itself, stand beside you and that the darkness can do nothing against Me …. you should know that you are in the sphere of My radiance of light and that you are therefore equally immune to the efforts of darkness. And therefore the darkness will never succeed in corrupting you as long as you have a desire for Me in your heart. And once you have surrendered to Me and offered Me your will and your services you will also remain My property forever, which the adversary can never ever dispute with Me. Yet he will harass you time and again, and these are the inner battles you will face and which will make you lose heart …. But I hold My hands protectively over you, I am never far from you, even if you feel weak and abandoned. Great tasks still await you and you have to be well prepared for them, you have to oppose all resistance with your will towards Me, then it will disintegrate into itself, for you draw Me to you as a helper, as it were, and everything has to give way to My power. And therefore don’t let yourselves be depressed even if the world around you is darkened and wants to obscure your light …. I Myself illuminate you and even the worst darkness cannot resist My rays ….

amen

Put your will at My feet and your way of life will henceforth be a blessed one. I do not demand much of you other than the submission of your will to My will, which once turned away from Me in arrogance and resulted in your imperfection. If you now want to become perfect again and thus become My image, then you have to turn to Me again, you have to acknowledge My will and offer yours to Me, you have to be of the same will as Me, because in the state of perfection you cannot want and act differently than what My wisdom and love has recognized. And therefore you must not oppose My will, for then your will will not correspond to My love and My wisdom, and then you will not be able to unite with Me …. you cannot become perfect. But as soon as you acknowledge Me you give yourselves completely to Me, and thus you also give Me your will, and then I can guide you and will not meet with resistance. Then you will also recognize My working in you, for where there is no more resistance I can express Myself, I can let My strength overflow, I can let My will come into effect through you, I can transfer My will to others through you. If you surrender your will you will not become unfree or powerless but you can now accomplish everything with My support. For My will has now also become your will and you will be satisfied because you can leave everything to Me. As long as you do not yet completely sacrifice your will to Me, your thoughts and intentions are still turned towards the world, for then it is your will which still pays attention to that which is My adversary’s share. But you have to detach yourselves from his kingdom, you are not allowed to acknowledge him who once determined your will to turn away from Me, you have to despise him and turn away from him, thereby you prove that you long for Me and that you are willing to accept My will, and thus you submit yourselves to this will. Then you will also pay attention to what I speak to you, you will lend your ear to My word and then I can guide you, and you will follow Me and make My will the guiding principle for your way of life. And then you will have to ascend, you will have to reach your goal, you will have to become what you once were, beings full of light which only ever carry out My will and are happy, because the fulfillment of My will makes all beings happy ….

amen

The gifts of the spirit must be utilized if they are to fulfil their purpose and also bring further gifts to the recipient. Only in the passing on of the received spiritual goods lies the authorization to receive new goods, otherwise it remains only dead goods without effect on the recipient himself and his fellow human beings. Spiritual goods are a gift of God’s love, they should awaken love and be passed on again and again in love; they are the living water that must continue to flow inexorably if it is to awaken life again, to activity in love. In order to receive spiritual goods, a person must be active in love …. Offering and passing on the gifts from above is an act of loving activity, the human being is concerned for the salvation of souls which are still languishing in darkness, and their spiritual hardship motivates him to bring them light …. And then the spiritual good will not remain without effect, both on the giver as well as on the recipient, whereas a gift which is not passed on will lose its strength and effect and will not make the recipient as happy either if his love for his fellow human beings diminishes. A divine gift is so precious that it must not go unnoticed, and if it is offered to a person in love, its possession should make him happy and in his happiness he should also feel the urge to communicate, to convey the divine gift to others. It should spur him on to industrious loving activity …. to enlighten the spiritual state of his fellow human beings …. it should stimulate him to radiate more and more light into the darkness, and his desire for spiritual gifts will be increased as a result and make him happy and joyful. People can abound in spiritual treasures as long as they do not keep them for themselves but distribute them and thereby increase their wealth. However, as soon as they slacken in their activity of love, there will also be a stagnation in receiving gifts from above, for God gives and measures out to them as they themselves measure out and are willing to give. And therefore spiritual gifts can also remain without effect on fellow human beings because they do not make use of them insofar as they do not want to distribute them themselves, even if they acknowledge it and are themselves beneficially affected by it. But their love is deficient and their hearts are therefore not good soil where the seed can sprout and bear fruit. And that is why the gifts of the spirit, which flow to people from above, should be worked on constantly. The flow must not dry up in the sand, the gifts of the spirit should be received everywhere with an open heart and passed on with love, then everyone will be able to refresh himself with the water of life, his spirit of love will be inflamed and constant activity of love will be the result, which again guarantees the receiving of new spiritual gifts. And therefore all those to whom God’s love conveys precious possessions should work diligently, they should work incessantly and constantly try to gain new souls to whom the gifts offered to them will bring light, so that the spiritual darkness will be removed, so that people will feel the effect of what God’s love offers them ….

amen

Countless souls are in battle with the forces of darkness, unable to free themselves from their control and in urgent need of help. For in their blindness they themselves are unaware of the spiritual adversity they are in; they do not know that they are at the mercy of the evil power unless the beings of light bring them help while they are still on earth. The ignorance of these souls prevents them from taking up arms against evil themselves. They don’t know that they have the strength to do so and that they only need to request it. And they lack the knowledge because they do not have faith and love, otherwise the power of evil over them would also be broken and the danger of succumbing in battle would be over. Yet unbelief and heartlessness signify increased weakness of will and lack of strength, and thus the forces of darkness have great control over the souls, and therefore beings who are full of love, be it on earth or in the beyond, have to help them in their adversity. They must try to impart the knowledge of their state of weakness and its cause …. They must teach them to practice love so that they thereby attain faith …. They must introduce them to the hardship of their souls, which they may not yet feel on earth but which they will recognize with unspeakable remorse in the beyond after the death of the body and which they will no longer be able to remedy as easily as on earth. In love and patience they must try to influence people who are still blind in spirit, so that they expand their knowledge, that they allow themselves to be taught and reflect on what they have heard. Only then can people come to believe, and only then will they obey the commandment of love and be able to escape the power of evil. It is not easy to work on ignorant and unbelieving people because there is one thing they do not acknowledge …. Christ’s act of salvation …. because their will is extremely weakened as a result and they do not avail themselves of the blessings of the act of salvation. And this is why the significance of the act of salvation should be explained to them, but again it can only be grasped when the human being makes an effort to be lovingly active, otherwise it is completely incomprehensible to him and he constantly rejects what he is asked to believe. But he has to struggle all the more against the powers of darkness, for he now stands alone in the battle against them because He cannot help him Whom he does not want to acknowledge …. And this is why the whole world is currently enslaved by the forces of darkness because it no longer acknowledges the divine redeemer and thus, in its weakened will, is no longer able to resist the prince of the underworld …. light and darkness fight with each other, the darkness is powerful and casts a spell over many souls …. But the light fights with God, for through the work of redemption God in Jesus has faced the adversary and overcome him …. and thus the human being will also be the conqueror of the enemy as long as he chooses the divine redeemer Himself as his commander-in-chief, as long as he fights with Him, Who has assured him of His strength as the grace of the act of salvation, which He acquired for humanity through His death on the cross. The divine redeemer can and will help all people who acknowledge Him, and no one will succumb in the battle against evil who commends himself to His grace. Yet if he alone wants to fight against that power he will succumb, for his strength is not enough to resist. And this is why faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world is necessary …. And that is why love is to be practiced so that the human being may attain faith …. And thus love has to be preached to all people so that the human being will gain wisdom through love, so that he will become enlightened and successfully fight the battle against darkness, so that the souls’ hardship will be reduced and they will be able to free themselves from the power of darkness ….

amen

Through the grace of inner enlightenment the human being gains insight into a realm where there is no error and no doubt, where everything is pure, bright truth, which is why the human being can accept knowledge without worrying because he is offered nothing but truth. Consequently, teachings which were previously offered to people and which do not correspond to the truth must now also be corrected. For as soon as the human being is enlightened and the spirit of God instructs him he will not tolerate any untruth alongside the truth; he will explain everything to him in such an understandable way that the error will lapse of its own accord and he will replace it with the truth without hesitation. And thus the human being will now also recognize which teachings were a hindrance to people’s spiritual development because they are erroneous, and he will try to purify these teachings by means of the truth he has gained in the spiritual kingdom. He will now fight against the error so that the truth will come into its own. The sooner he succeeds in doing so, the more blessed his undertaking will be, i.e. it will be crowned with spiritual success …. Untruth cannot lead upwards, untruth holds the soul back to earth like chains, and therefore all untruth is an obstacle for the soul to ascend. And therefore the spiritual kingdom will always endeavor to also bring truth to earth in order to make it easier for people to ascend, and wherever an earthly child willing to receive the truth from the kingdom of light opens itself, the beings of light will work diligently …. to train it as a bearer of truth so that the human being will likewise instruct his fellow human beings in the truth. The more untouched the recipient has remained by erroneous teachings, the easier it is to convey the truth to him, for he accepts it without inner resistance. But now, for his part, the battle against the false teachings begins as soon as he has recognized them as false teachings. He must not accept or tolerate them out of tolerance, he must openly take up arms against them, he must denounce the error as such and warn people of its detrimental effect on their spiritual development; he must try to make them think about it and decide for or against these heresies. And he will also be able to do so and feel compelled to do so as soon as he has gained a clear insight himself, as soon as he knows about the effect of truth and the harmful consequences of error. If the human being knows the pure truth he will also try to shape himself in accordance with divine will, but error prevents him from doing so because he was placed into the world by God’s adversary, whose goal is to push the spiritual substance away from God and who therefore wants to prevent the human being from recognizing God and His goal. truth leads to God, but lies and error lead away from Him. And therefore all beings of light will constantly strive to instruct people in the truth. They will wage a constant battle against the lie, which is the cause of the darkness in which humanity walks. The light of the spiritual kingdom shall also be transmitted to earth, it shall shine on earth and break through the spiritual darkness, error and lies shall be separated from truth, and every representative of truth on earth will be instructed as such to openly and unashamedly expose the error he recognizes and replace it with the pure truth. For only the truth makes free, only the truth redeems the bound, and only the truth leads to God ….

amen

Only the imperfect spiritual substance has to travel the earthly path once again, which at the end of the redemption period proved to be completely distant from God and thus would never develop upwards in the beyond either. And that is why many people will already suffer death beforehand for whom the possibility of higher development in the beyond still exists so that they do not belong to those who have to experience the end of the earth period and thus the new banishment into the solid form of the newly formed earth. In the spiritual kingdom, however, the latter would belong to the lowest spheres and even then still distance themselves further and further from God, so that after an inconceivably long time they would likewise become solid form, thus their spiritual substance would be taken again for the creation of new material creations, and only after an exceedingly long time would they be able to cover their course of development on earth. On the one hand, the spiritual substance which departs from earth beforehand has an advantage in that it can develop higher in the beyond more quickly than on earth, provided that it musters the will to do so, that it comes to recognition either in the last hour before its death or through the efforts of the beings of light in the beyond. But if it does not strive upwards and retains its ignorance in the spiritual kingdom and remains in defense and resistance, then it sinks deeper and deeper until God completely withdraws His spirit of love from it and lets the spiritual become a solid form again, but this requires a much longer period of time before this spiritual is allowed to cover the path on earth again. The agonies of a renewed walk on earth cannot be measured by men, otherwise it would be easier for them to understand why so much suffering goes over earth, which can still have an influence on the attitude of man, on his will and on his attitude towards God. But the fact that many people still increase their distance from God through suffering is due to the fact that they go along in error, that they are blind in spirit and yet do not want to accept the light of day when it is offered to them. A clear exposition of the truth would be able to change their thinking, but in the darkest night they still close their eyes and do not notice the light which would allow them to recognize the path they should walk. But they cannot be helped in any other way than that the truth is brought to them …. And they must also willingly accept it in the beyond if they want to ascend. Only in the solid form is their will bound, then the spiritual substance is not responsible itself but it has to move according to God’s will and only becomes somewhat freer when it declares itself willing to be of service. This is why people on earth still have a great advantage over the bound spiritual substance despite the greatest earthly hardship and tribulation, for their will is free and can therefore create a change for itself as soon as the human being merely has the desire to stand in truth, to recognize the truth and to become knowledgeable …. Then he is spared being bound again in the solid form, even if he is now called away from earth prematurely. For then he can enter the spiritual kingdom where the truth he desires will be offered to him and he will enter the path of ascent. And thus, at the end of this earthly period there will only be people on earth who are completely distant from God and a few who are connected to God, and the final separation will take place …. The latter will belong to God eternally and the former will have to go the path of unspeakable suffering in bound will …. in the creations of the new earth ….

amen

Your will should be to draw near to Him Whom all the angels in heaven serve, Whom they praise and honor for all eternity …. For His nearness is eternal bliss, His nearness is the most desirable thing, which should be your only goal. You do not know what you have deprived yourselves of, what you have lost through your former apostasy from God, you also do not know what endless long path you already had to cover in the distance from God in order to now be admitted again to the final test of your will, which is to acquire the closeness to God for you again …. And that is why you are so indifferent and sluggish when you should be striving diligently and eagerly for perfection. For you must become perfect if you want to be worthy of God’s closeness. You have to work on yourselves so that you become love, so that you thereby assimilate yourselves to eternal love and reduce the distance from Him as long as you still dwell on earth. The closeness to God is the most blissful state, and on earth you do not realize what delights it brings you. Light and strength is your share, because His nearness radiates light and strength and you can receive light and strength in all fullness when you dwell in the nearness of God. Only then will you recognize with what merciful love God has cared for you and how this His love constantly wanted to lift you up so that you could reach His view. But you are to long for Him without knowing about the glories and the delights of closeness to God, you are to strive towards Him of your own free will, the love of the heart is to impel you to selfless activity so that you approach the one from Whose love you emerged. divine spirit and divine love should flow through you, then the distance from God is abolished, you are again one with eternal love, with your creator, Who constantly wooed you because He did not want to lose you. And if you are one with Him you must also be permeated by His radiance of love and your life must be a glorious one, a state of perfection which now lasts forever …. Being close to God is tantamount to possessing power and strength …. to be able to create and shape at one’s own discretion and to constantly receive the power to do so from God without restriction …. For God perpetually radiates His strength, and He continuously favors the beings with it who are allowed to dwell in His presence because they are perfect, because the will strives for perfection, thus the will has brought it about that they found the union with God. For the will once turned away from God; it now has to pursue its goal with all firmness, it has to strive towards God and only know the one goal as long as the human being lives on earth …. he must seek to come close to God in order to attain His view ….

The redeeming activity on earth is so extremely important that God blesses every willing person and provides him with the strength to carry out this activity. He needs workers in His vineyard and yet can only employ those who undergo this work of their own free will. But as soon as the human being is willing, all sources of help will be made accessible to him, strength and grace will be given to him and his ability will be trained so that he will now eagerly pursue his activity which is intended for the redemption of the erring souls on earth. Anyone who has once placed himself fully at God’s disposal has expressed his will to serve Him and he will no longer be left out …. because his help is needed on earth and such help can only be carried out by people. Mankind is so far removed from faith that all the stronger faith is needed in order to bring God’s transmissions to fellow human beings. A person’s will has to try to bridge the gulf which separates God from the whole of humanity through their unbelief; a deeply believing person has to receive what God has intended for all people, what He wants to offer them but is not desired by them …. A deeply believing person has to be the mediator between God and the unbelievers, he has to inform the latter of God’s love and His will, people have to hear through his mouth what God wants to tell them, what they need to know in order to come closer to God again, and this office of mediator is so extremely important because the announcement of God’s will is necessary first if these otherwise lost souls are to be helped. For they, too, must find their way back to God of their own free will, they cannot be forced to change their way of life, to believe in God and to love …. they have to turn to God of their own free will and can only do so if they are informed of His love and goodness, so that the will to strive towards this eternal love is aroused in them. For only then can they redeem themselves. And that is why the transmitter of divine will contributes to redemption, because otherwise people cannot receive the news of God’s will. Since they themselves are already too far away from God, God cannot speak to them directly, they do not hear His voice and therefore need a mediator who is connected to God and thus knows God’s will. This activity on earth is so necessary, as humanity is walking in error, in spiritual darkness. And therefore God will not leave anyone without strength and grace who offers to help these erring ones; He will strengthen them in every weakness of will, He will mark out their paths for them, He will guide and protect them on all paths, and His grace will constantly be with them ….

love brings you closer to the truth, for wisdom is born from love. Yet love must be unselfish, it must be divine, because truth is also of divine origin, thus the divine can only be gained with the divine. And thus anyone will become wise who only kindles love within himself and lets it flare up into a bright flame …. but God imposes this condition on people that they first become active in love in order to receive divine wisdom; that they turn the love they feel in their heart into action; that they give and help where it is needed, that they try to make their fellow human beings happy with everything they themselves are happy about, everything they possess and their neighbor lacks. Their love should be willing to sacrifice, then God will reward such love by enlightening their spirit, by equipping them with rich knowledge, by leading them out of the dark night to the brightest light …. Towards Himself, Who is the eternal light, the eternal truth and the eternal love …. When love enters your life, which is pure and selfless, you also enter the spheres of light, because from the very beginning you are also introduced to knowledge, unconsciously at first, but soon you will become aware of a power which was previously unknown to you, a power which urges you towards God and which emanates from God …. It is the strength of the divine spirit which works in you as soon as you are active in love …. which gives you information about things which are beyond your knowledge, which imparts wisdom to you according to the extent of your activity of love. This strength is not outwardly recognizable, yet it cannot be denied, it constantly gives to the love-distributing person, it enlightens him and thus constantly increases his knowledge, and since this knowledge is pure truth it must lead to God, Who is truth Himself ….

amen
