The act of grace of spiritual rebirth is evidence of the rightly utilized free will …. For this spiritual rebirth is not accomplished by divine will, otherwise no human being would remain in spiritual darkness, because God loves every one of His living creations and this love never grows cold. But the spiritual rebirth is a sign of progress, it is a step towards perfection, and this can only be achieved in free will. Nevertheless, the spiritual rebirth is an act of grace, i.e. divine grace has brought it about, for without grace the human being is incapable of progressing even one step further on the path of perfection. So free will has evaluated the divine grace available to the human being in the right way, he has let it work on him, free will has desired it and received it, and the effect of divine grace is spiritual rebirth. Hence, only someone who has consciously turned his will towards God, who strives towards Him and enters into contact with Him through heartfelt prayer and who therefore opens himself to receive His gift of grace …. His word and with the word of His power …. And thus the awakening of the spirit in man is an act of grace …. a manifestation of divine love, which now reveals itself to the human being through His spirit. Without the human being’s will the awakening of the spirit does not come about unless the soul is bound by the strong power of satan, who controls it against its will …. In that case God can break satan’s power and liberate the spirit in the human being without his conscious intervention, since in such a possessed state he is deprived of his free will. Nevertheless, the soul then already has a certain maturity and is no longer resistant to God, thus as soon as the human being can dispose of his will again, he also turns to God. Then God’s grace appears even more obviously, because at the same time the revival of the spirit is connected with a healing of the sick, which must always be considered (evaluated?) as a gift of grace from God. But once the spiritual rebirth has taken place the human being’s will has to remain constantly active, the human being has to constantly ask for the influx of grace, he has to constantly open himself to this grace and make use of it, because the awakening of the spirit actually means a constant receipt of that which God’s love bestows upon people for the attainment of perfection …. And all this is grace …. but it can only ever be received by the human being if he opens himself to it of his own free will. Free will requests grace, free will accepts it, grace again awakens the spirit to life, and the spirit’s activity is again the imparting of gifts of grace …. For everything divine, if it is made accessible to the human being, is grace, because the human being in his lower state of maturity is not worthy to come into contact with divine gifts. Yet God’s love overlooks the human being’s unworthiness and grants him divine gifts as soon as the human being is willing to accept them. The will is manifested through prayer and through loving activity, for the latter is the direct connection with God which increasingly earns the human being grace.

(23.9.1944) If the human being is spiritually reborn, God’s grace has therefore become effective in him, and then the human being will also remain in His grace, for the spirit now guides and leads him and stimulates him into constant activity of love, as a result of which God’s grace constantly flows to him. And therefore a spiritually reborn person can no longer fall, he can no longer distance himself from God because this is prevented by divine grace, by God’s love, which keeps and constantly cares for the human being. The human being truly does not deserve the abundance of grace which is at his disposal, for as long as he lives on earth he is not so good and perfect that he would be entitled to claim it, yet he can become so if he uses grace, for it is the means at the human being’s disposal to become perfect. Everything that helps the human being to develop upwards can be called grace. And so suffering is also a grace which, if used properly, can bring infinite blessings and ensure spiritual progress for the soul. Suffering must also be accepted by a person whose spirit has awakened to life, who is therefore spiritually reborn, for suffering is meant to mature him, it is meant to purify him, because no soul, not even the spiritually reborn, is already so clear and pure that it no longer needs a purification process. And that is why suffering is also to be regarded as grace, like everything else that helps the spiritually awakened to higher development. For to attain the highest possible maturity on earth should be the aim of the one who is spiritually reborn. But without God’s grace he cannot reach the aim, but with His grace he is able to do everything. God, however, leaves it up to him which measure of grace he wants to acquire, which measure of grace he requests and wants to receive by opening himself. The spiritually reborn person, however, will not slacken in prayer for the granting of grace, and therefore he will constantly strive towards God and be seized by His love, which will never ever let him fall but constantly help his soul to ascend ….

Amen

And everyone who is willing to serve Me will be accepted as a labourer in My vineyard …. But great work still lies ahead of you. People no longer recognize the school of the spirit which earth is meant to be for them, and therefore you should take them into your training, you should inform them of their earthly task before the end, you should make it clear to them that they have to fulfil their purpose on earth and that otherwise they will have to face bitter consequences; you should lovingly admonish them to seriously consider their souls, to take their earthly task seriously and to make good use of the time they still have; you should encourage them to work with love and make this the most important thing for them and constantly mention My love which tries everything to win your souls for the spiritual kingdom. And so if you are diligently active for Me I will not withhold the blessing from you which lies in every good work …. I will give you strength to speak in My name, I will guide you towards those who need your help, I will impart wisdom to you which will make you capable of working in My vineyard, and I will protect you against all dangers of body and soul. For I need you as My servants on earth …. A time is coming when ever less of My word will be heeded, when faith in Me and My word will become ever weaker, when the world will increasingly come to the fore and all spiritual striving will be successfully suppressed because people themselves are lukewarm and sluggish and in their weakness of will allow themselves to be determined by the forces which want to displace Me. And only a few carry Me in their hearts, and therefore only a few are willing to stand up for Me before the world, to want to transfer their faith to their fellow human beings and thus to fight for Me and My teaching …. And I remember these few with all love, and I will bless their activity on earth. For they are the ones through whom I can now work Myself so that My word will find entry amongst people, they are the ones who are now active for Me, whose will I can direct because they have voluntarily subordinated it to Me …. And I constantly feed these few with My word, I prepare them to be My workers so that they can then also successfully carry out their work. I guide their thoughts correctly, I put the right words into their mouths and constantly give them strength so that they will persevere until I Myself come at the time of harvest. And anyone who thus wants to serve Me will be accepted to work for My spiritual kingdom, because this work is the only important one in the coming time. Do not worry and ask yourselves which work you should put first, but do what I tell you to do …. work for Me and My kingdom …. Leave the earth and its demands unnoticed, for time is pressing and every day is to be used because the end is near …. And therefore let yourselves be guided and don’t resist Me but act where your heart urges you to. For it is My voice which the heart makes known to you. Do not become lukewarm and sluggish but remain eager in My service, and work while it is still day, for soon the night will come for many …. And so that you may still win souls and save them from this night, you should be eagerly active for Me and My kingdom ….

Amen

Anyone who is in knowledge understandably has greater tasks to fulfil on earth, for he is in grace, i.e., every person is indeed called to be in grace, yet anyone who does not allow it to take effect in him is also still in a lower degree of maturity of the soul, and thus he cannot give, he cannot be active and thus cannot work for the spiritual kingdom. This task, however, is incumbent upon the human being who, through his will, has allowed God’s grace to take effect in him and has attained realization …. He can now work according to God’s will because he knows about it …. And thus he can work for the kingdom of God. This is the most beautiful task that can be given to a human being, for it alone brings success that has eternal value. It is an activity which does not end with the death of the body but will also continue in the beyond and which is extremely important for the still ignorant souls. Thus the human being has received a gift of grace which enables him to work with it, and as soon as he possesses this ability he must also make use of it, otherwise God’s gift would remain idle and this would be a disregard for those for whom the human being would have to answer. However, the person who is in knowledge will also gladly and joyfully carry out his task, for he is urged to do so from within …. he is happy about it himself, and his happiness makes him communicative …. he is eager to give and therefore also willing to give. A person who only uses the spiritual knowledge he has gained, the visible sign of God’s active grace, for himself alone, who therefore does not feel the need to give it to other people and thus to spread it, is not yet permeated by it himself, thus he does not yet possess the spiritual knowledge as mental property but is merely a listener of it and consequently does not yet have the right knowledge …. he has only accepted it from a fellow human being’s hand, to a certain extent as a listener, but without the truly profound will to draw deepest wisdom from it himself, and thus it does not make him happy to the extent that he is inwardly urged to pass it on. Then his degree of maturity is not yet so high that he can receive divine wisdom himself, and thus he cannot work for the kingdom of God until he has matured so far that he recognizes the necessity of working for God and His kingdom. Then it also begins to become bright and light in him and he now rejoices in his activity which is meant for the soul of his fellow human being. And then he has to be restlessly active, he has to use every day for spiritual work, he has to take his task seriously, for it is also important to guide fellow human beings into knowledge, and this requires restless activity, patience and perseverance. His work will spread far and wide again, it will not rest, for anyone who has recognized the meaning and purpose of life, the love, wisdom and omnipotence of the creator, anyone who knows the significance of the act of salvation and the eternal plan of salvation of the divine creator and father of eternity, anyone who has thus become knowledgeable, will not keep his knowledge but radiate it again, he wants to give it away because the spreading of truth makes him happy. And this is his task, which he should and will take seriously once he is seized by God’s grace, once he has become knowledgeable himself through divine grace and knows about the great hardship of those who still live in complete spiritual night and cannot save themselves from it alone. Then the knowing person’s willingness to help comes to light, he is active in enlightenment and promotes the kingdom of God, he leads souls to Him who allow themselves to be permeated by God’s grace and who are willing for it to become effective in them as well. And therefore he who is in knowledge will be restlessly active in the vineyard of the lord, he will advertise and work without ceasing, he will teach and preach love in order to lead people onto the right path, onto the path of knowledge through God’s grace ….

Amen

Whoever completely submits to God’s will can no longer want anything other than what God wants. This complete submission of the will is a process which has nothing to do with lack of will or weakness of will but rather requires a strong will, a will which overcomes itself, which completely surrenders itself, which humbles itself and puts all its own desires behind. And such a surrender of one’s own will requires love for God, which is therefore stronger than love for oneself, to which the human being sacrifices everything that otherwise seems desirable to him. And therefore the surrender of the will is already a sign of spiritual progress, of a special degree of maturity and also a sign that the human being has entered the path to perfection. For as soon as God’s will takes hold of him he has to progress inexorably on the path of his spiritual development. The will devoted to God guarantees complete spiritual success, for God now guides the human being and truly the right path which leads to Him. Nevertheless, the human being’s will itself remains active, only that the human being can be unconcerned to always want and do what is right. As soon as he has placed himself at God’s fullest disposal, as soon as he asks Him to be allowed to use his weak strength for God-oriented activity, as soon as he hands himself over to His guidance daily and hourly, God’s love also takes hold of him and guides and directs him …. his ways, his thoughts, his words and his works. For God only requires people to relinquish their own will because it had previously turned away from God and had His adversary as its aim. If the human being is now willing to hand himself over to God he will have recognized the earthly purpose and his life on earth will only be in accordance with God’s will, he will mature to the highest perfection the deeper and more intimate his devotion to God is. For this reason a person who has subordinated his will to God can also live his life calmly and carefree, for he will then always carry out what corresponds to God’s will, even if it seems as if this is disadvantageous for the human being on earth. As soon as the human being has expressed his love for God by applying for spiritual work, God will never leave him unattended, for He draws His children, who see their father in Him, to Himself with all the strength of His love, and His means are truly successful if the human will no longer opposes Him. And thus the desire to belong to God must arise in the innermost heart. The human being must devote himself to Him in deepest humility, he must feel love for God and acknowledge Him as the mighty creator of heaven and earth, as the most loving father of His living creations, and as a child he must hand himself over to the father. He must be willing to accept everything from His father’s hand as a gift of grace, be it joy or suffering; he must always endeavour to shape himself according to divine will and remain in intimate contact with Him through prayer …. Then his will will no longer rebel against God’s will, then he will have completely subordinated it to divine will, and then his earthly life will be successful for his soul because he will no longer walk alone but with God, and because his path can then never ever lead astray. And therefore the subordination of the will to God’s will is the first demand God makes, which can never remain unfulfilled if the human being wants to mature in his soul …. For as long as his will is still opposed to God he neither accepts grace nor takes recourse to prayer, and then he can never be permeated by God’s strength which secures his spiritual ascent. And therefore selfish love must first be overcome before the human being is able to muster the strength of will in order to subordinate himself to divine will.

Amen

You are called to work for the lord and this calling should fill you with deepest joy and gratitude, and your striving should be to continue to serve God and to work for His kingdom. You must bear one thing in mind, that there is nothing more beautiful than to be a servant of God on earth, to fulfil His will and to be allowed to work for Him. For then you will be mentioned as spreaders of divine truth. Consequently, you must be in the truth yourselves in order to be able to spread it. And therefore it is conveyed to you by God Himself, and this is a grace of such inestimable value that you may consider yourselves fortunate to partake of this grace, for you directly receive strength from God, His emanation of love, and thereby you become able to convey His word to people as God’s organ …. You have an office, a task, which can have an inconceivably beneficial effect if you fully commit yourselves to this task. This is why you must not slacken, for only diligent activity will outweigh the grace bestowed upon you, and only diligent activity will evaluate the grace, i.e. it can only become fully effective when you pass on to your fellow human beings all the wisdom imparted to you. But as soon as you are called to work for the lord you first have to become knowledgeable, i.e. you have to receive divine truth, and God Himself gives you this truth in the form of His word which He sends to your soul through the spirit within you. Therefore, anyone who hears the inner voice himself is also called by God to work for Him …. anyone who joyfully and hungrily receives the results of the spirit and refreshes himself with them is likewise called to pass them on, for if the divine gift makes him happy he should also offer it to his neighbour with love, otherwise he is still strongly filled with self-love and would then not be suitable as a true servant of God. But God sends you to people who are devoid of all knowledge, and you are to bring the gospel to them …. And thus God makes you His disciples, and He commissions you to carry His word into the world, to teach the nations and to proclaim the divine commandments to them …. Thus He calls you to work for Him, because people first have to know about His will before they can be called to account. And therefore He needs servants on earth who speak on His behalf, who take their calling seriously and who are therefore chosen to be taught by Him directly …. who can constantly draw wisdom from the eternal spring which will never run dry. They stand in knowledge, they are bearers of pure truth from God because they are called to be active for Him on earth. But they also stand in love, for love alone enables them to receive the pure truth from God and to pass it on to their fellow human beings, for without love it is inconceivable to spread it. But if the human being is called by God by being given the truth he should not resist when the lord calls him, he should willingly place his weak services at His disposal, he should always listen inwardly to the task God assigns him, and he should immediately comply with the inner voice, thus he should fulfil God’s will, he should willingly pass on what he has received himself and thus try to penetrate the dark spiritual night which prevents people from recognizing the light which shines towards them from God. Then they will not resist their calling, and they will be eager servants of God on earth and also one day in the spiritual kingdom ….

Amen

You must open yourselves to every emanation of strength which touches you from the spiritual kingdom by always and constantly mustering the will to make contact with the spiritual forces by consciously immersing yourselves in spiritual questions. This can happen through prayer for spiritual maturing, through a thought turned towards God for right will and right knowledge, through asking for guidance and help in all earthly matters and through prolonged dwelling in spiritual thoughts or inner introspection. You always give your spiritual friends the opportunity to take possession of your thoughts, and this always means an influx of spiritual strength. As soon as you consciously live earthly life, that it is given to you for a spiritual purpose, you will never be abandoned by spiritual forces, and then they can also constantly transfer the emanation of strength from God to you, and you will mature in your soul. You will increase in knowledge which corresponds to truth, your way of life will correspond to God’s will because you receive the strength to carry out what His will dictates to you. And as long as you maintain this connection with spiritual forces you will only be able to record spiritual progress, for love impels the beings of light to give you what they possess in abundance, and through their gifts you must mature. Every thought turned towards good is an expression of these beings of light which you therefore mentally receive; it is strength from God which impels you into loving activity and which must also ennoble you if you follow the thoughts arising in you, i.e. if you let the now stimulated will become action. And also for the execution of the deed the strength flows to you from God as soon as you open yourselves to it, thus consciously request it through prayer. And this process of emanation of strength from God will continue as long as the human being maintains the connection with the spiritual kingdom, thus he is willing to let himself be guided by spiritual forces, even if he interrupts his conscious thinking of spiritual questions in the fulfilment of earthly tasks …. For the beings of light know about the human being’s will, and as long as it is not turned away from them through worldly desires or obvious connection with God-opposing forces, through sinful actions or thinking, they will not leave the human being and also guide him earthly into right thinking and action. For they have been instructed by God to help struggling human children, and their own love also drives them to their work of help, and since they are constantly recipients of strength they also hand it out as soon as it is merely desired. And therefore the human being should constantly request strength from God, he should believe that he cannot master anything without it, for you humans are weak as soon as you are not granted help from above. God, however, does not leave you alone in your weakness but provides you with beings of light for your lifetime which should and can support you in your spiritual striving as soon as you open yourselves and give them the opportunity to have an influential effect on you …. as soon as you consciously surrender your will to those who guide it in the right direction, because you are willing to do good, because your will strives towards God. This is no interference with your free will but you must turn it towards God yourselves, only then can the beings of light be active on you. And as soon as you desire strength and help you will also open yourselves to the influx from the spiritual kingdom, and you will be richly endowed by divine strength …. And therefore, pray often, send your prayerful thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, thereby enter into contact with it and its inhabitants, and then trust that you will think and act correctly, for your spiritual friends protect and look after you and will not abandon you …. They are always around you and carry out God’s mission for their own happiness …. to convey His strength to every willing earthly child who desires this strength ….

Amen

The commandment of neighbourly love should put a stop to self-love, for this is the death of the soul. A person is only allowed to love himself to a small degree, i.e. he should be careful with God’s gift of grace insofar as he protects his life from wanton harm and does everything that preserves this life, because it is not given to him without purpose. However, as soon as he loves himself excessively he does not fulfil his actual purpose of earthly life, for self-love does not ennoble the human being but degrades him. But love for one’s neighbour must inevitably reduce self-love, and that in the same measure as love is practiced for one’s neighbour. And since the human being has the opportunity to practice neighbourly love in the most extensive way, he will soon be able to surpass self-love many times over, yet it always requires an overcoming to do good to the neighbour if love has not yet kindled into a bright flame in the human being’s heart. And that is why God gave the commandment of neighbourly love, because the person who has love within himself does not need the commandment. But where self-love still predominates, man must be stimulated by the commandments to fight against the former, he must first be accustomed, so to speak, to pay less attention to himself for the sake of his fellow human beings. If he forces himself into active neighbourly love, even if initially without an inner drive, love will nevertheless soon ignite in him and he will then carry out the works of love out of an inner drive to help and please …. And then self-love diminishes and yet he does the greatest work of love in himself, for he saves his soul without selfish thoughts, for he practices love for the sake of love and goodness …. And thus love for God also grows in him, which is expressed in love for his neighbour …. For loving God with all your heart means keeping His commandments, and His commandments demand love …. love for everything God has created, but in an unselfish way, for selfish love only seeks self-interest and is therefore not divine love. And if the human being does not fight selfish love he will constantly go backwards in his development, for divine love will then remain alien to him, but this alone will bring him redemption. Ego love wants to possess everything, however, it only seeks earthly goods and thus hinders the development of the soul, for only the giver will also be allowed to receive. But anyone who loves himself more than his neighbour will not want to hand out anything and therefore will not be able to receive anything either. But since God measures according to the human being’s will to give, he must first be urged to give through commandments, and as he now complies with the commandments he will also be considered by God. And thereby he is slowly educated to love activity, which can then also become more and more unselfish the more the human being fights self-love. And only then will he also recognize the blessing of neighbourly love, because it makes him all the more happy the more it is the instinct of his heart. And the more the human being awakens to life, whereas self-love causes him to fall prey to spiritual death …. Love must be practiced if the spirit is to come alive in the human being. And this is why God gave him the commandments, for the human being is constantly in danger of losing himself to the opposing force if love for himself prevails, whereas he comes ever closer to God the more he gives himself up, thus overcomes self-love, for love for his neighbour earns him God’s undivided love which seizes him and unites with him and makes him the most blissful being on earth and one day in eternity ….

Amen

In expectation of what is coming you all need comfort and strength. You will not be able to do without them if you don’t want to lose your faith and also fall spiritually victim to earthly events. God knows about this time of tribulation and about the demands placed upon you, He also knows about the weakness of your will when you are in great distress. And He remembers this time by sending you the bread of heaven which alone can give you the strength to endure every tribulation. He prepares food for you which will strengthen you, which brings you comfort and encouragement, physical and spiritual strength and which will always be your salvation if you eat it. And anyone who eats this bread need not fear that he will become weak, for whatever He Himself supplies to you must also fulfil its purpose, it must truly be refreshment and revitalization for you, it must revive your faith and give you such strength that you will be able to endure everything without becoming fickle. And therefore always ask for His gift and gratefully receive it …. His greater than great love offers it to you, it is nothing earthly but comes to you from above, the heavenly father Himself prepares it for you, it is heavenly manna which is indestructible and never loses its strength …. It is His flesh and His blood, for it is His word Himself, and thus it also has to be of utmost effectiveness, it has to surpass everything earthly, no matter how beneficial it is, for what the heavenly father offers His children cannot be surpassed by any other gift. Divine love provides people on earth abundantly with this gift, for it strengthens the soul, and if the soul loses its weakness every earthly influence, every earthly danger is insignificant or invalid. They are no longer to be feared, for the soul overcomes everything because it is supported by the strength from God which comes to it through the divine word. God’s fatherly love constantly cares for His children, yet in the coming time especially, because this time requires much assistance and because this assistance can only be granted to the human being in the form of divine supply of strength. But anyone who is fed by Himself will have his anxiety and weakness removed, and he will be up to every task he is now given …. he will remain faithful to God and be able to serve Him, and he will also master the world, he will also only derive benefit for his soul from earthly events. For God does not abandon His own, and let this faith be your support when it seems difficult to you and your soul is anxious …. Then take refuge in Him in adversity and His word will comfort you …. Desire His assurance and listen to His voice; in whatever way His word is offered to you …. it will never fail to have an effect because it comes from God Himself. And be grateful for this grace, for His fatherly love, for His constant care for you. For He has long prepared this time and made Himself known through the transmission of His word, so that people can approach this time fully aware and with strong faith in His help. And anyone who has His word is assured of life, even though he will lose it earthly, for his soul lives and need not fear death eternally. Yet his earthly life is also in God’s hands and His will alone determines the end ….

Amen

The task you have to accomplish will require all your strength, therefore you will be led through trials which are intended to strengthen you for this task; for only when you have overcome yourselves completely, when you have detached yourselves from everything dear to you on earth, will you become absorbed in your work for the kingdom of God. And you are assigned to accomplish this work. Consequently, do not let yourselves be misled or distracted by worldly events, work diligently and hand all your earthly worries over to the Father in Heaven, Who will remove them from you as soon as you work for Him. God expects a lot from you but He also gives you infinitely much …. He expects you to renounce everything that delights your senses, but He will give you what makes your soul happy …. He takes earthly possessions away from you and bestows upon you spiritual wealth, which makes up for all worldly possessions. And you must thank Him for every gift, because it is offered to you by His love. Yet even earthly suffering is a gift of love from God as soon as it matures your soul. For the task you are to accomplish requires undivided dedication, because it is spiritual work which does not tolerate earthly hindrances. But then it is delectable, it delights the giver as well as the recipient …. The point in time when a general breakdown will occur is drawing ever closer, and good for the one who releases himself from earthly goods before they are forcibly taken from him, for his spirit can freely develop and occupy itself with things of eternal value. His life on earth will not last forever, yet what he takes over into the spiritual kingdom can be permanent and subsequently make him infinitely happy. But he will only attain it on earth if he relinquishes what belongs on earth. For this reason God will take the latter away from you, if He has called you to work for Him. You must feel your calling within yourselves as soon as you hear His voice, as soon as you receive His Word and are deemed worthy of the great grace of being instructed by Him directly. The conveyance of spiritual gifts should be your proof that God has chosen you to work for Him. And if you realise this, then you must humbly accept everything from His hand, for everything that comes upon you is necessary and determined by His wisdom. Then you will also feel yourselves called, you will feel yourselves as His servants and receive the instructions of your Lord …. Let Him reign alone, for His way will benefit your souls, and don’t resist Him if He draws you to Himself, but follow His call instead …. Work for His kingdom and don’t worry how you will survive on earth …. God will always find ways and means if you humans need something …. but you cannot protect yourselves from earthly worries if God Himself deems them necessary for you. If He needs you as servants, as labourers for His kingdom, He must first make you capable of it, and for this He uses different means. And the fact that you are meant to work for Him is proven to you every day as His gift of grace flows to you, which teaches you to become His fighters, because He needs you during the last days …. Therefore wait patiently and don’t fail, be tirelessly active and trustingly hand yourselves over to divine guidance, and you will accomplish your task on earth, you will be valiant fighters in the final battle, as it is His will.

Amen

Anyone who is granted the grace of being able to enlighten people should not miss any opportunity, for the receipt of this grace also obliges him to use it. God has chosen him to be His representative on earth, to act as a bearer of truth against untruth and error, because these are extremely harmful for the soul, because its maturing is then called into question. Therefore he must always and constantly stand up for the truth, as soon as he has recognized it as such. But to learn to recognize it only requires a loving heart which constantly asks for the truth. For the eternal deity unites Himself with a loving person and instructs him until he has penetrated the pure truth himself and no human being can rob him of his conviction of it. Only then is he able to oppose the knowledge of his fellow human beings with divine knowledge. He is able to do this, and his activity is extremely necessary because untrue thinking must be corrected as irresponsible carelessness and this is only possible on the part of a person who is in contact with the forces of light and truth. Therefore, anyone who has once established this bond will soon have knowledge at his disposal, and he should also pass this on or the gift of grace will be taken away from him again. For God speaks through a human being to everyone …. Therefore, the bearer of truth must always consider himself an instrument of God and eagerly endeavour to utilize his gained knowledge again, i.e. to apply it as a contradiction as soon as a question is raised as an object of dispute and people cannot agree on it or are wrongly informed. Such an object of dispute, if left unresolved, can push thousands into wrong thinking. And then God Himself meets people and instructs them according to their will for truth …. He does this through a human being in order to make Himself known to those who believe in Him or to give the unbelievers proof which, however, they may or may not accept as evidence …. A knower must inevitably teach, for he alone can offer truth. And only he who is a recipient of strength from God can be knowledgeable. First of all, these are the beings of light in the spiritual kingdom who directly receive the strength from God, which is light and wisdom. They then pass this on to all beings who are willing and worthy to receive it …. both in the spiritual kingdom and on earth. And thus the right knowledge, the pure truth, will always emanate from God, thus it will originate from Him, and the beings of God-directed will and thinking will always be permeated by this light and knowledge, and thus also the people on earth who, being in most intimate contact with God through loving activity and prayer, receive spiritual knowledge from Him directly or through His messengers. And you should listen to them if controversial questions are raised, for they alone will be able to answer truthfully. However, seriously examine the intellectual thinking, but give preference to the thinking of the heart …. What the human being tries to fathom purely intellectually by examining and pondering he will never be able to clarify completely, but if he lets the voice of his heart speak, if he allows himself to be guided by his feelings, then he will come considerably closer to the truth, for God speaks through the heart. But in order to confirm what the heart of those who seriously strive for the truth proclaims, God obviously makes Himself known through an instrument in order to help those who are willing to believe to recognize the truth. And through these instruments He gives information about controversial questions, if the intellectual thinking has already moved too far away from the truth. And understandably these tools must now work for Him by trying to spread to the world what they receive from the spiritual kingdom, directly from God or through His messengers. For this is their earthly task as soon as God has chosen them to serve as mediators between Himself and people …. It will never be God’s will that humanity should walk in error, and He constantly helps it if it is unable to distinguish between truth and error itself. But truth only comes forth from God, and thus it can only be where God can be active, where loving activity allows God’s nearness and activity and the will for truth is present …. God gives the most enlightening clarifications to them in abundance, and you should listen to them ….

Amen
