God’s will is not respected by people but their own will comes to the fore and, if it does not subordinate itself to divine will, it is opposed to it. But a will which opposes God will also carry out deeds which are sinful before God because they lack all love, for only the human being whose will is turned towards God and who therefore only accepts God’s will will work in love. God only wants what is good, and every human being who strives to be good also submits himself to God’s will …. Yet God’s opposing power always and constantly seeks to gain influence over the human being, it seeks to revolt his will against God, so that the human being’s own will permeates and he refrains from good actions and instead carries out God-opposing actions. The more influence people give to God’s adversary the less they will comply with divine will, and then the state of being distant from God will become very apparent, for people’s actions will be without love. And where love is not there God cannot be either, where His will is not respected there is no love, and where love is not there is also no knowledge, no wisdom and no light. People must submit to God’s will if they want to mature spiritually and come to the light of realization, for God’s will is also the divine law which may not be contravened if the soul is not to suffer harm. For the transgression of any law entails detrimental consequences, just as the lawgiver has the power to punish a transgression. But people no longer recognize God’s power and therefore act unquestioningly against His will. Since God’s will is paired with wisdom, the God-opposing will lacks all wisdom, thus the consequences must be a chaotic state, disorder, decay and finally destruction. The divine will builds up, but the God-opposing will destroys, it is placed into the human being by God’s adversary, who therefore uses the human being to destroy because he lacks the power to do so. And therefore his constant endeavour is to turn the human being’s will away from God and to determine him to disregard divine will, so that the human being will then carry out what violates divine order. And thus he has exerted the greatest influence on people so that they use every opportunity to destroy creations. The human being is in bondage to him, he has no will of his own but completely surrenders it to him, he only carries out what completely contradicts God’s will, they are not deeds of love but of envy and hatred …. God’s will will no longer be respected and the consequences will inevitably occur, God will let people act unhindered until they themselves have carried out the work of destruction to such an extent that it will rebound on people …. until the chaos has become so great that people themselves perish in it …. For the will of God signifies divine order, and a contravention has an inconceivably detrimental effect on earth and far more so in the spiritual kingdom ….

Amen

Work while it is day, for the night will come when you can no longer work …. You are still in the midst of the time of grace, you are still in the midst of your vitality and you can use it for your soul’s salvation. There are still no limits set for you, for My strength and My grace are available to you without measure. And therefore you can continue to move in the light, you can strive towards the light when it is dark around you, and you can intensify the dull glow of the light so that it brightly illuminates your surroundings. It is still day for you if you only want to walk in the light and not in darkness of your own free will. But this day will also come to an end and all those who have shunned the light will sink into the night of death, and there will be no rescue from this night for eternities. You will want to escape from it and will not be able to, because the night will last until the new day dawns again, and this night will seem eternal to you. For you knew the light and did not approach it …. I still call out to you: Use the end of the day, work in love and kindle the light within yourselves so that you will no longer need to walk in darkness. Take My light which shines for you in all abundance, kindle your weak little light on it and carry it to Me, to the eternal fire, so that the flame of love will flash over to it and your own light will be increased in its brilliance and all darkness around you will be banished. For light alone is life …. work and create, so that you may gain the life of the soul …. be active in love and earn the right to stand in the midst of light, to walk freely in the bright day, outshone by the sun of the spirit, and finally enter the eternal light, the spiritual sun, into spheres where you are surrounded by light and in constant bliss. But darkness is death; he who dwells in darkness is powerless, because no ray of light reaches him who has strength in himself. And when night has fallen it is too late to create and work, for I have set a aim for you, a limit of the redemption period until which you are entitled to the freedom of your will. And until the end of this period there is still a day which everyone can use to make his state of soul full of light. But when this time is over then sink into deepest night what has not used its will in the right way. It will be dead and lifeless because I will withdraw all strength from it, and its will will be bound again because it has abused its freedom, and night will be around the being …. darkest night, which is exceedingly agonizing. Only a few heed My call, only a few take My words seriously to create and work as long as it is day. But no human being on earth who needs them will remain without warning and admonition …. I want to bring light to everyone, yet I will not force anyone who prefers the night to accept the light. And thus he must also accept the consequences of having rejected a divine gift of love …. For My word is the light which sends a ray into every person’s heart if it is opened to him. My word admonishes to work in love, and every person has already heard this word …. But whether he follows it, whether he works and creates with love on earth, is up to him …. But soon the day will be over and night will envelop all those who have not heeded My word ….

Amen

God’s love knows no boundaries …. And again and again it inclines towards people who, as His creatures, also need His love in order to exist. For His love is also strength at the same time which has to flow to the human being’s body and soul in order to keep both alive. God’s love constantly supplies the body with strength so that it can serve the soul for higher development, thus this supply of strength is a proof of God’s love for the human being’s soul, which He wants to help reach maturity …. However, the soul itself can still directly accept the emanation of God’s love, then it receives spiritual strength …. But this requires the human being’s activity of love, thus the soul has to determine the body for works of neighbourly love, as a result of which the eternal love Itself unites with the soul and spiritual strength now flows towards it …. the strength of love which achieves everything the soul now strives for. For since God’s love is unlimited it must also be possible to use the strength of love without restriction, thus the human being must be able to accomplish whatever he wants as soon as he completely unites himself with God’s love through his own activity of love. Then the human being’s will will also be God’s will, divine wisdom will fill the human being, and strength and power will be at his disposal because it will continue to flow towards him from God Who does not deny Himself because He is full of love and constantly wants to make His living creations happy. Therefore every person will be powerful who enters into contact with eternal love through his own activity of love. And this strength should be used again for loving activity, be it spiritual or earthly, for both bring maturity to the soul …. maturity, however, is similarity to God …. the soul forms itself into the image of God, Who is pure love in Himself …. Hence the soul must also become love if it is to resemble God, and only then can it unite with eternal love and be powerful, because then it will always receive strength as a direct emanation of God …. Love and strength are one, they are the essence of the eternal deity, and since God’s love never ever ceases, His strength must also be constantly active, thus it must also work in the human being who makes himself worthy of His emanation through loving activity, who opens himself to His strength …. And it works by giving birth to wisdom, by awakening the spirit in the human being, which is likewise part of God, thus it would be inconceivable without God’s love and strength. And if love, strength and wisdom fill the human being he is also perfect, he is similar to God, he has found union with eternal love …. It has drawn him to Itself because love grasps everything that does not oppose it ….

Amen

Through the grace of inner enlightenment knowledge opens up to the human being which enables him to make great spiritual progress in a short time if he uses it correctly, i.e. contributes to the spreading of pure truth. For the human being is only introduced to spiritual knowledge for this purpose. Only when truth is spread amongst people will it have a beneficial effect, for if only the individual person knew about it he would not derive any particular benefit from it because he cannot utilize it, for knowledge is only ever of value when it can be applied, that is, when it can be conveyed to a fellow human being. The person who cannot communicate, who closes his spiritual knowledge within himself, is no better off than a person who has no spiritual knowledge, for the former’s possessions are dead goods which lie completely idle and thus lose their value. Spiritual knowledge, however, should help to recognize the eternal deity. Anyone who has recognized God himself also tries to teach his fellow human beings this knowledge, because he knows that striving towards God is the purpose of earthly life. If he does not impart this knowledge to people, then he has not yet recognized God himself, then he has indeed received the knowledge intellectually but not with his heart, and then it does not have a beneficial effect on him either. This applies to the person who receives knowledge but does not pass it on. But anyone who is enlightened by God’s spirit will also use his knowledge, for his love for his fellow human being impels him to communicate with him and thus to spread the truth from God, for he knows that he will thereby lead souls to God who, having recognized Him, will also strive for Him with their heart …. Thus truth leads to God and therefore it should be spread on earth. The human being can indeed be negligent but then the knowledge he has gained will not fulfil him, then he will not have received it with his heart but only with his intellect, but then God’s spirit, which only turns what he has heard into spiritual knowledge, will not have been active in him either. Therefore, the human being who receives spiritual knowledge must be active in love so that he will be taught by the spirit of God, i.e. that knowledge will first be made accessible to him through the divine spirit, even though it is imparted to him by the knowing fellow human being. A life of love is absolutely necessary if the pure truth is to be spread. Both the giver and the receiver must be in love if they want to derive the right benefit for their souls from the truth …. if they want to recognize God and strive towards Him …. Then they will be urged from within to share themselves, then they will only accept the knowledge themselves in the desire to be able to distribute it, and then they will also be able to use the knowledge according to God’s will, and they can also be given through the divine spirit in the richest measure, for then they will work for the kingdom of God …. they seek to lead people to God through truth, and they are now restlessly active because the knowledge makes them happy themselves and impels them to also make their fellow human beings happy ….

Amen

It will still take a little while before God will visibly manifest Himself, before the cycle is completed, before the hour has come when the extent of human atrocities has gone too far. Yet it will not be a long period of time, you humans are given only a very brief period of grace in order to distance yourselves from those behaving disgracefully before God because they violate their fellow human being in a most ruthless way …. However, God allows it to come to the worst so that people will still learn to recognise which way they are heading …. For only this realisation will motivate them to change. Every day is important as for many people it is the last one, it can be decisive for the whole of eternity, but many others will only have a few days left until their temporal end has come, and this is why God still hesitates although the event is inevitable and His plan has been determined from the beginning. However, people’s low level gave rise to it much sooner, their heartlessness made the day overdue before its time, so that every day is a gift of grace by God bestowed upon humanity by His forbearance and mercy. And thus every day can still be utilised and offers many people the opportunity to change, if only they are of good will. Therefore they are constantly informed of the divine intervention, both through His Word as well as through people’s exchange of ideas who are mentally advised from above about the forthcoming event. Everyone can form an opinion about that which is imparted to him, everyone can think about the events in the world as well as the end of it, and the thought of a supernatural intervention in world events will not just occur to a few, and then a person will still be able to hold himself to account regarding his attitude towards good and evil.

Every human being will be warned, directly and indirectly, and if he heeds the warning he will be able to derive benefit for his soul. For then he will also recognise the divine intervention as such, he will learn to believe and be saved, even if he loses his earthly life. And because God still wants to open people’s ears for His call He will not sound His voice prematurely …. Yet the designated period of time cannot be exceeded according to divine order …. And people should assume that every day is the announced one when He reveals Himself and His Power. For what He has proclaimed will happen without fail, God merely keeps the time concealed. Yet the day will come like a thief in the night …. unexpectedly and causing a large amount of material damage …. And only someone whose heart no longer clings to earthly goods, who has united himself with God and knows himself always and forever protected by Him will not be fearful. These, however, are instructed by Him to constantly refer people to the fact that He will manifest Himself, and to admonish them to choose the right path which leads to Him, so that they, too, will take refuge in Him in the hour of affliction and find protection and help in Him ….

Amen

Countless worlds proclaim the glory of God to their inhabitants, and everywhere He is praised and glorified as creator and sustainer of these worlds. Thus He is also acknowledged by the beings inhabiting those worlds as long as they are not completely undeveloped, i.e. inhabitants of lightless stars. The earth is also a still lightless heavenly body, and its inhabitants have different degrees of development, and the recognition and acknowledgment of the eternal deity is also corresponding. The beings on earth, the human beings, are indeed constantly supplied with light, the knowledge of God is conveyed to them so that they can attain the recognition of God and then likewise praise Him as their creator from eternity. Yet the light can only shine and unfold its brilliance if vessels can be found to receive it …. where the will exists to be regarded as light bearers of a lightless heavenly body. God is recognized and loved by those light bearers, praise and honour are paid to Him and His name is held sacred. Yet only a few are, and the earth remains in darkness, it is one of the celestial bodies which harbour ignorant beings and which can never shine by themselves, although undreamt-of luminosity can flow towards them, thus these celestial bodies mean constant battle with darkness for the inhabitants …. Their aim is light, yet the inhabitants of such celestial bodies must strive towards the light, they must catch it and hold on to it. They must seek to recognize God and strive towards His nearness, then light can radiate to earth in all abundance, and it can become a body of light, a luminous heavenly body, because light can constantly flow to it if people, in clearest knowledge of God, love Him as creator and sustainer and are united with Him, Who is the eternal light, through love. For the earth and its inhabitants have been granted the incomprehensible privilege that eternal love itself took this heavenly body as its abode, that it carried the light to earth, thus illuminating a lightless heavenly body with its rays, and that this light will not be taken from it eternally as soon as its inhabitants join the light and let it take effect on them. The earth can be recognized as a brightly shining star in the universe if only people’s will strives towards the light, if people make an effort to unite with the eternal light. Then the earth can never again become lightless, for where the eternal love Itself shines Its light, there can never again be darkness, there the lightlessness is banished …. The creator of heaven and earth is recognized, and His omnipotence, wisdom and love are praised ….

Amen

God is present everywhere, His spirit is not bound to place and time because His spirit is strength which flows through everything and is therefore present everywhere and at the same time. Yet this strength is not something without being, which is why it can always be called upon everywhere, because thought and will animate this strength and thought and will are always active, corresponding to the call through beings which are, as it were, emanations of strength from it and therefore the same as God, only in the tiniest degree …. beings which are an image of the most perfect entity …. God is everywhere, otherwise He would not be perfect, for perfection knows no limitation, it knows nothing bound to place and time …. However, God’s perfection cannot be grasped by human beings because man only knows what is limited and something unlimited is inconceivable to him. This is why it is difficult to make God’s omnipresence credible to him, because as soon as he tries to imagine the eternal divinity as an entity, something limited is already before his eyes, which is only imaginable to him in terms of location and space. Consequently, the human being tries to explain the eternal deity with the expression strength, which is indeed truth in itself but strongly impairs the human being’s personal bond with God, for according to human understanding this can only be established with a being that is capable of thinking and has a will ….

But the connection with God is indispensable and therefore God must be acknowledged as a being, which is also extremely easy because every work of creation reveals a will which has become form through His omnipotence and reveals profound wisdom, thus perfect thinking. And as long as a work of creation is visible to the human eye, God’s omnipotence is also proven to a certain extent, because every work of creation is an expression of God’s strength, thus it must be God Himself where His strength is expressed. If the human being seriously thinks about it, the thought of an entity is much more acceptable to him, because the meaning and purpose of the works of creation leave no doubt that a wise will underlies them, and where there is a will there is also the possibility to incline this will. Consequently, the connection can be established through appealing thoughts, because the human being has gained the conviction within himself that the mental appeal will be heard everywhere and at all times, and that it can be granted on the part of the being Which is perfect and therefore also full of love and power ….

The being of God is by no means to be personified, for this would be a limitation according to human thinking, which would also make the omnipresence difficult to believe, for the beingness of God cannot be brought into a humanly imaginable form. But in Jesus Christ the elemental power of God, the radiance of God, has manifested itself, i.e., it has fully and completely fulfilled a physical form, it has become, as it were, the enlivener of this external form and is therefore visible to those who want to form an idea of God …. For God allows all His thoughts to become form through His will, including the thought of making Himself visible to people without them being consumed by His abundance of strength and light. A visible form, however, is bound to time and place according to natural law, it is only then spaceless and timeless when it has completely spiritualized itself, yet it remains imaginable to people. And in the spiritual kingdom the eye can then behold this form and thus see God face to face. God’s spirit, however, is active everywhere and constantly, i.e. He lets His thoughts become form through His will. He must therefore be an entity because His will and wisdom is recognizable in everything His strength has created. And since the eternal deity wants to establish the connection with Himself, the human being must also be able to believe that God is an entity, for if he imagines Him as mere strength he will never ever try to establish this connection, but then he will live his earthly life unsuccessfully, for spiritual progress must require prayer to God for grace, and this will certainly ascend to an entity Who is omnipresent but never to a strength which is denied will and the ability to think, thus the characteristics of an entity ….

Amen

Your will is free and therefore you are not forced to be good, just as you cannot be forced into bad deeds or thoughts by the forces of darkness, but it is up to you alone how you intend to lead your way of life. And if you are forced by people who are superior to you in strength to do deeds which are contrary to God, then you are not responsible for these actions, for then only your will, your inner attitude, decides what you are forced to do. But if your thoughts are bad, if your will is willing to let these thoughts become deeds, then you will not be relieved of responsibility and will have to take the consequences of your deeds upon yourselves, on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond. Actions carried out of free will therefore have an effect such that they determine life in eternity, provided they have not already found their reward or punishment on earth, whereas actions carried out under compulsion can certainly be significant for earthly life but do not endanger the soul’s life after death. For these actions are the responsibility of those who had power over the human being and thus made his will unfree. They have to answer for the deeds they instigated, and their guilt is sometimes so great that eternal times are needed to atone for their guilt. The human being should examine himself more and more to what extent his innermost thoughts correspond to the divine commandments, to what extent his actions correspond to his thoughts, for thoughts are always the products of free will. Therefore, thoughts must be good if they are to correspond to God’s will. If the thoughts deviate, if they take the wrong direction, then the human will has decided to act in opposition to God, even if he cannot carry out a deed. Therefore he is already responsible for his thoughts, because these are born of free will. And therefore the human being must give account of his thoughts, for again it depends on whether they are forcibly directed towards evil or good by fellow human beings or whether they arise in the human being of his own accord …. But the human being will always have the opportunity to reject thoughts he dislikes, for his thought activity again depends on his will, and it is also capable of dropping thoughts which oppose him, just as he can always inwardly condemn bad works and thereby free himself from all complicity. God only pays attention to the human being’s innermost will, which is therefore expressed in his thinking. And God will never condemn him for what he does if this contradicts his inner will. But he is often confronted with the decision, and then he has to prove himself, otherwise one day he will have to answer for his thoughts and actions. For God gave the human being free will, but he must now also use it in the right way …. in good thoughts, words and deeds which will one day have an effect in the spiritual kingdom and bring the soul eternal life ….

Amen

The number of those who have no living connection with God, who do not regard Him as father, brother and friend, to whom God cannot be close because they distance themselves from Him, because through their way of life they have lost faith in a God Who is and remains deeply connected with what He created out of His love, is great. The number is great and will increase even more, despite His loving care for people, despite His obvious activity which is intended to bring people close to Him …. For they do not recognize Him wherever and however He approaches them. They only ever let their intellect speak but never their heart, and the intellect is influenced by God’s adversary, to whom they are closer than God due to their way of life. For people lack love …. otherwise they would have to recognize God despite the working of demonic forces which is evident everywhere …. Without their own activity of love God remains alien to people, because eternal love can only be recognized through love. And without loving activity there is also no connection with God, He cannot be felt, and therefore it is also difficult to believe in Him for people who live without love. Yet the spark of love glows in every person’s heart and can be ignited …. It can be kindled by the adversity of fellow human beings and spread like a tiny flame, and then the human being will approach God, faith in Him will not seem unacceptable to him, he will mentally try to make contact with Him himself and thus reduce the distance from Him …. And therefore the coming adversity is inevitable due to the vast majority of people who are completely distant from God, for God still seeks to save those who have not yet completely snuffed out the spark of love in their hearts …. Even if there are only a few, these few will have escaped eternal ruin; however, the whole of humanity will have to go through the time of adversity because every person will be offered the last opportunity to be one of those who will be saved …. God once again brings Himself close to all people in the great adversity, all people can call upon Him, thus establish contact with Him, and He wants to helpfully assist all people like a father Who wants to rescue His children from greatest adversity ….

God’s love and mercy leaves no means untried, He courts every soul, the flow of His grace pours out upon the whole of humanity, everywhere He guides His word, and everywhere He seeks to make hearts receptive to it through suffering, everywhere He seeks to kindle love in people through suffering …. He constantly steps into people’s path Himself, He knocks at their hearts, desiring entrance, He brings Himself to people’s remembrance, He admonishes and warns them through His messengers on earth, He directs their thoughts into the spiritual kingdom …. Yet He leaves them the freedom of will …. He calls them but does not force them …. And His call goes unheard, people don’t pay attention to Him, they turn away from Him more and more, they take a path which leads far away from the aim. Only a few walk the narrow path that leads to the aim, and only rarely does anyone from the ranks of those follow them. And people hear God’s call ever more faintly, the admonisher and warner sounds ever more faintly in them, the conscience which is supposed to be their guide on their earthly path of life. And more and more souls go astray and end up in the territory of the one who, in hatred and unkindness, only seeks destruction, who tries to displace God and drags the souls into ruin. But people will not recognize him until they are lost, for they are blind in spirit, they are blinded by the false splendour of the world which is his kingdom …. they flee the light which shines down upon them from the spiritual kingdom, and they chase after a deceptive light …. the pleasures of the world …. But the light from the heavens would illuminate for them the path that leads to the aim …. They flee it and go after a will-o’-the-wisp in the darkness of night, and they never reach their aim. For they live without love and are so far from God that He cannot provide them with His light and His strength. And thus people are certainly still earthly alive but spiritually dead, and since they don’t make use of their earthly life, since they don’t awaken themselves, i.e. their spirit, to life, their earthly life is pointless and therefore it will end prematurely …. Only a few will truly live, but the majority is spiritually dead and no longer needs earth, and therefore the latter will be dissolved, i.e. its external form will be reshaped, and all life on it will be destroyed, every creature will be annihilated, and a new earth will arise which now shelters people who are indwelled by love, who live in light, i.e. in right realization, i.e. in the right knowledge, and who remained steadfast in their faith in God during the time of adversity, who remained united with Him through love and whose way of life was according to His will …. This is the small band of His fighters who stand up for Jesus Christ before the whole world, who fight for Him and for their faith and whom He Himself will fetch home into His kingdom in order to shape a paradise for them on the new earth, in order to reward them for the extremely difficult time of struggle before the end with a time of deepest peace and highest bliss ….

Amen

An activity of unselfish neighbourly love puts the human being into the right realization, but the right realization deepens his love for God, and this in turn leads to union with God, because the human being, who loves God above all else, seeks to shape himself of his own accord in a way which is pleasing to God and thus a prerequisite in order to become one with God. Consequently, unselfish neighbourly love can never be eliminated if the human being wants to reach his final aim on earth …. the childship to God …. But it also has to be practiced if he wants to enter the kingdom of light when he departs from earth, for even the lowest sphere of the kingdom of light is only inhabited by loving souls, for without love there is no light, and the slightest radiation of light requires a receptacle which has only become such through love. The soul’s work of love brings recognition, i.e., as soon as the human being is in love he realizes his deficient nature, he knows the consequences of his way of life, he knows divine will and the effect of all actions and thoughts. And this realization makes him consciously strive for perfection. But he can also be active in love on earth completely unconsciously, i.e. his heart drives him to love activity without initiating him deeper into the knowledge about the consequences. The deeper knowledge can still be withheld from him but it will suddenly enlighten him at his passing, and he enters the spiritual kingdom with an abundance of knowledge, as an inhabitant of the kingdom of light, for then love will have been the driving force of his whole life, and through the works of love the intimate bond with God will already have taken place, and the purpose of earthly life will have been fulfilled …. every good work increases the treasure which is unlosable and indestructible …. and spiritual wealth, which the world does not want to accept, follows the soul into the kingdom of the beyond. On entering it it will be permeated by light, it will know everything and also be allowed to instruct ignorant souls from the moment of its death, it will be able to hand out what it possesses itself in richest measure, spiritual treasures which signify an exceedingly pleasing activity for the soul, which now also works diligently in its love and also considers those who are poor and have to live in want. And it will be allowed to draw ever closer to God, for love shapes it such that it becomes God’s image and thus unites with God, from Whom it originated in the first place ….

Amen

Divine wisdom cannot be fathomed through human wisdom …. Divine wisdom can only be grasped by the human being’s intellect if his spirit is active at the same time. And therefore the working of the spirit is absolutely necessary if the human being wants to penetrate knowledge which is superior to all human knowledge. However, human intellectual abilities are not necessary where the spirit of God can be active in the human being, for this enlightens the human being’s thinking so that the deepest wisdom from God becomes comprehensible to him if the spirit of God Himself imparts it to him. For He offers it to him in such a form that he grows into knowledge which was previously completely unknown to him. At the same time the human being’s ability to think is developed so that he himself is able to pass on the knowledge he has received, albeit in a simpler form of expression but in accordance with the meaning of the knowledge imparted to him by the spirit of God. Divine wisdom is unsurpassable, and thus the thought material conveyed by the spirit of God cannot be surpassed by human wisdom either, even though it initially appears insignificant and is sometimes conveyed to the human being’s heart in the simplest form imaginable. But it finds its explanation in the fact that the human being should not only be an instrument to mechanically pass on the received knowledge, but he himself should be completely permeated by it in order to now also be able to represent it before fellow human beings. And therefore the human being has to be introduced slowly, it has to be made comprehensible to him in such a way that he really becomes knowledgeable, so that he can then also be made acquainted with the deepest wisdoms and these can also be fully understood, so that heart and intellect have processed it and it can now only be called true knowledge. Only now does the human being penetrate the deepest wisdom, the spirit of God speaks to the spiritual spark in the human being, and what it communicates to him reveals His wisdom, His love and His omnipotence …. It is knowledge which people could never fathom by virtue of their intellect, for it is not so trained as to ever be able to comprehend or truthfully portray God’s reign and activity in the universe and in the spiritual kingdom if it never had knowledge of it before. The human being’s intellect will always remain within the limits which God Himself has set for it, it will only ever be able to investigate earthly things and will probably also be able to offer evidence for the correctness of its findings. Yet everything divine, all spiritual knowledge, will remain alien to him as long as God’s spirit is not at work, for only God’s spirit penetrates the deepest depths of divine wisdom and can present it to the human being, i.e. his intellect, so that the latter will then become active, i.e. mentally process what he has heard, and only then will the human being become knowledgeable …. For only spiritual knowledge can be called true knowledge because it touches areas which are unfathomable to the intellect and can only be fathomed with the help of the divine spirit. And what the spirit of God imparts to the heart and the intellect are divine wisdoms which therefore can only be presented to the human being who makes himself worthy through his will to serve God by passing on the truth from God, which far surpasses human understanding …. This will and a conscious striving for perfection are prerequisites in order to receive divine wisdom and also to understand it, because a correct understanding of it is absolutely necessary in order to also convey it to fellow human beings, as it is God’s will ….

Amen

A divine revelation outweighs every seemingly profound human wisdom, for it is purest truth and therefore irrefutable. For if God expresses Himself through the voice of the spirit, then every error is excluded. But God reveals Himself through an earthly child which is intimately united with Him, which believes in Him and establishes contact with Him through loving activity and desire for Him, as soon as a person is therefore active in love and intimately asks Him for enlightenment, thus also lives in faith that God can and will express Himself. If He is sincerely asked for it, God will not deny Himself to him either …. Then He speaks to him through the inner voice, and then these revelations are to be believed, they are to be accepted as truth because they are of divine origin. And then the human being will draw from the original source of wisdom and understandably surpass every earthly wise man in knowledge. Yet only the person who desires the right, divine wisdom will recognize it as wisdom …. And therefore it will never be possible to argue about the value of divine revelations, because an incomprehending person who neither seeks to penetrate the truth nor leads a way of life which can earn him such, is completely incapable of judging what is presented to him. Thus divine revelations are neither credible nor incontestable for him, indeed, they rather appear to him as not very wise, and it is not possible to argue with such people but they will always have the upper hand as long as the listeners are also of the same spirit, i.e. without faith in a God to Whom everything is possible and without love which only awakens to life where faith is still dead. It is wrong to try to bring divine revelations to these people, for they would always contradict and also influence their fellow human beings such that they would reject them before they had seriously taken a stand. Therefore it is of no value to initiate people who are completely without faith, who therefore have no spiritual striving whatsoever and only live exclusively in the world. Knowledge can certainly be presented to them, but never the origin of the knowledge, before he is put into a thoughtful state by the knowledge itself and desires light and truth. Only then can he be informed where to look for the source. And only then will he also recognize the profound wisdom that shines forth from the divine revelations. And he will no longer be satisfied with earthly knowledge, he will strive for spiritual perfection in order to be able to receive God’s revelations himself, as He has promised. Nevertheless, the word of God, which guides His love for earth, shall be carried on, nevertheless, human wisdom shall be displaced by wisdom from God, for this will take root because everything divine will continue to exist while the human will pass away. Yet the word of God will only be recognized in all its wisdom when people voluntarily open themselves up to it, when they look for the reason in God’s love and use His omnipotence and wisdom to explain His extraordinary working, thus when they believe that God, in His love, wants to help people who are outside of the pure truth and that He is also able to do so …. Then His wisdom will be recognized and His revelations will be gratefully received as an extraordinary gift of grace ….

Amen

Only completely immature souls make use of the strength from below and are therefore also used by the prince of the underworld for his work. No matter what God’s adversary starts to fight against God he always uses willing people to carry out his will, because the power over every work of creation is withdrawn from him. And therefore he determines people to carry out his will, and they obey him because they feel connected to him through their inclinations and urges which hardly deviate from each other. Hence these are souls which are still completely materially minded, which are turned towards God’s adversary and with whom he therefore has an easy game. People in whom such souls are embodied are completely under his control. But he equips them with great strength so that they can always carry out what God’s adversary dictates to them. Because they have completely turned away from God they are doubly endowed with strength and therefore they are able to accomplish things which otherwise are beyond the strength of a human being. And thus signs and miracles also happen on the part of people who are hostile towards God if they are willing to let their strength have an external effect. And then these are often regarded as sent by God because of their miracles, and God warns you of these, and He has always done so by His constant reference to the false prophets in the last days, because they are a danger for those who are not yet firm in faith and who are not active in love. God has always made mention of these emissaries of satan in order to announce the power of that which he will gain over people in the last days. He warns His own not to fall into the nets of the false prophets, and He marks them out by the fact that they, too, will confess Christ …. the bringer of salvation …. yet not the redeemer of the world …. And take heed that Jesus Christ hath redeemed the world …. But the Christ, of whom the false prophets speak, shall yet come and bring salvation to men. And they shall deceive many, and shall cry unto men: Behold, here is Christ …. But do not follow them …. but know that they are emissaries of satan, whom you should flee, lest they destroy you …. And if they work miracles, pay no attention to them, for they use the power from below. And you will recognize them, for no love speaks from them, neither from their words nor from their deeds. What they do only testifies to their power but not to their love, and power is a gift of satan. And you can certainly recognize them if you always make love the guiding principle of your thoughts and actions. Then you will also notice by the miracles of the false prophets that they are not works of love but works of the one who originates from hell. If you yourselves stand in love and faith you will not be deceived, but the lukewarm are in danger who do not bear the characteristics of love. God’s adversary can win them over, they will not recognize the false prophets and willingly follow wherever they are led by them, for the forces from below have power over those who are distant from God, who indeed still strive for Him according to the word but not in their heart …. And God especially warns them not to let themselves be deceived by the dazzling light of a miracle …. And He gives them a clear characteristic that love must always be recognizable where the power of God, which expresses itself through His prophets, becomes effective. And where love is not recognizable satan has his kingdom there, and this you should flee, for the forces from below will influence every immature person, i.e. every person who thinks and acts without love, and these will be servants in bondage to them who carry out what the prince of the underworld demands …. For it is the time of the end and he will use it to work against God and against everything spiritual that turns towards God until the hour has come when God will bind him and with him all people who are in bondage to him ….

Amen

It is a certain spiritual inertia if the human being does not deal with questions which concern his purpose of earthly life, his relationship with the creator and the eternal creator Himself. And therefore these questions cannot be answered as long as he does not raise them himself. It is a spiritual inertia for which he has to answer, because he is endowed with the gifts of intellect, because the ability to think was given to him and he is also constantly led into situations in life where these questions arise again and again, thus his will only needed to become active to take a stand on all questions which help him to spiritual realization. As soon as he only once directs his thoughts into the spiritual realm he will also be stimulated from the spiritual side, and the spiritual inertia is remedied …. pondering sets in, he will mentally answer his questions himself, as he believes, yet the answers are already mental transmissions from the spiritual kingdom, in accordance with his desire for truth and his innermost nature. For the human being is considered by spiritual beings who correspond to his own nature. Serious desire for truth grants access to beings which are full of truth and can distribute it …. But anyone who desires truth simultaneously strives towards God, because God is the eternal truth Himself …. And anyone who strives towards God is also inclined towards good, and consequently spiritual forces connected to God will also consider him and thus enlighten him truthfully. A bad, lovelessly acting person will never strive for the pure truth, for he fears it since it contradicts his thinking and actions, and he only wants to acknowledge that as truth which is of use to him. And only those forces will approach him which lead him astray. And therefore a person who makes an effort to live well and right can also be convinced to think right as soon as he seriously thinks about spiritual problems. But he must first have this will to receive such enlightenment …. He must not reject spiritual thoughts as soon as they arise in him, he must not remain spiritually inert and thus make every mental instruction by spiritual forces impossible, otherwise it will remain dark and lightless in him and let his earthly life pass as a mere worldly man without maturing spiritually. The will to penetrate higher knowledge must awaken in him and now also let him become mentally active. Then, however, he will make great progress to his own happiness, for knowledge always makes happy, and the more it corresponds to the truth. Right, i.e. truthful knowledge is a wealth that the human being no longer wants to do without once it has come into his possession. Right knowledge is light which has a beneficial effect on the human being who is still enclosed in darkness, and right knowledge is a gift from the spiritual world which also reaches over into the spiritual kingdom, which connects this world with the beyond. And therefore right knowledge is worth striving for, it is precious good which cannot be replaced by earthly goods. And every person can attain it as soon as he overcomes spiritual inertia, as soon as he reflects on the meaning and purpose of earthly life, on the meaning and purpose of creation and his own relationship with the creator …. For then spiritual forces come into action which instruct him and move him from the state of ignorance into the state of knowledge according to his desire ….

Amen

The battle between light and darkness takes place most fiercely in the immediate vicinity of earth, for precisely the spiritual beings on earth are severely harassed by the forces of darkness, and therefore the spiritual beings full of light must also come close to earth in order to help people as long as they still live on earth. And that is why many beings of light are embodied on earth in the last days in order to be able to help directly and to form a bridge, so to speak, for the beings of light from the spiritual kingdom to people. For the forces of darkness have easier access to them because people are still full of darkness and listen more easily to the ideas of those forces, whereas the beings of light first have to overcome a sphere in which they have to conceal their luminous cover, and therefore they come to people unrecognized and they often don’t want to accept their help. For the earth and its surroundings are little light-bearing, darkness has great power, and yet the light fights against the darkness. And wherever it shines it breaks through the darkness …. Where once the beings of light can become effective, there it can never again become night. And everywhere the beings of light embodied on earth pave the way for the spiritual beings of light, they light small flames everywhere, and the smallest shine of light attracts the beings of the spiritual kingdom, and it is magnified by them, often to the most radiant brightness, so that the light shines in a far radius …. And then the darkness is powerless, it can no longer extinguish the light, it cannot dim it, for the beings of light are stronger, and where they have once achieved victory they assert themselves and never again allow the enemy to come into their own. But the enemy also carries a light to people, but it is a deceptive light, it is the shine and glow of the illusory goods, of earthly possessions and of the world, which lure people with dazzling bright colours …. It is a false light because it only flares up and goes out, it is a will-o’-the-wisp light which radiates no warmth and which can never enliven. And the beings of light on earth are to uncover this false light, they are to present its ineffectiveness to people, they are to point them to the right light which warms and enlightens and awakens to life. And therefore the beings of light must be constantly active on earth so that the adversary does not gain the upper hand and the darkness on earth becomes ever more impenetrable, they must remain in constant contact with the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom and constantly catch the ray of light from there in order to pass it on into the darkness of night. And no ray of light will be lost which has found its way to earth ….

The light will shine from the rising to the setting …. everywhere where people live the connection is established between them and the spiritual kingdom through thoughts which are directed towards infinity, through questions concerning the eternal deity and through the will which is meant for good. Rays of light can be directed everywhere, i.e. thoughts corresponding to truth which emanate from the spiritual kingdom, from beings of light, on God’s instructions and are accepted by hearts capable and willing to love. But the light has to fight against the superiority of darkness. For the forces of darkness are extremely active in confusing people’s thinking in order to extinguish the light, which again and again flares up like a tiny flame in the night. And so the battle of light against darkness has been going on for an eternity …. People’s state of ignorance shall always be changed into a state of knowledge, and the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom will stand by their side without hesitation …. But the end time has dawned, and this means that darkness has descended so deeply upon the earth that the light beings’ battle must become increasingly fiercer in order to banish it. For God’s adversary fights with cunning and force and with utmost perseverance because he knows that his power will soon come to an end, because he knows that he will be bound and can no longer exert his influence on humanity. And thus the earth is surrounded by good and bad forces, by beings of light and beings of darkness, and their struggle is for the souls which still walk blindly along …. The bearers of light on earth and in the beyond work with love and seek to bring salvation to people languishing in darkness. The beings of darkness, however, are driven by hatred, they seek to plunge people into the abyss through unkind actions, where there is eternal night. And thus a constant battle takes place against these souls which will end on the day of the last judgment when the eternal light Itself will sit in judgment and separate light and darkness from each other …. For this is the end, that the light will shine and completely conquer the night, that the truth will triumph and the powers of darkness with their followers will be thrown into the deepest abyss, into impenetrable darkness, into the kingdom to which they belong by their own will ….

Amen

The divine plan has been decided and unchangeable since eternity. For it has been thought out in unsurpassable wisdom and predetermined down to the smallest details. And this plan is by no means arbitrary, but it is based on the reclamation of the once fallen spiritual, and every event in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth unfolds according to this. There are constant phases of development, periods of time of different lengths, which are granted for the recovery of the spiritual, which are therefore limited and the end of which has been determined by God since eternity. And God announces this sequence of developmental periods to people through seers and prophets, and indeed, He will always point out the end of such a period to them in order to spur them on to fulfil their purpose of earthly life. But He will never predict the appointed time to people, so that they must always and constantly reckon with living in the time which precedes the end. In the period of eternity there are always only short phases of development which are always replaced by a new one, and therefore the end can also always be described by God as imminent, even though the time appears long to people. And that is why predictions of this end have been sent to people by God at all times, and a long time has passed in the meantime, seen through human eyes and according to human time reckoning. Nevertheless, these predictions will also come true, the announced time will become present, the redemption period will enter its final phase, and people of the present day will experience what seers and prophets have foreseen since the beginning of a redemption period …. The end time will have dawned, the end will be near, there will be no long time left because the time set by God will have expired according to God’s eternal purpose …. And now the prophetic words begin to take shape in that the earthly events seen by the seers become reality and people’s spiritual low can also be recognized by this, which determines the end of a period of development. And therefore, in the last days the end will be announced to people ever more thoroughly and urgently, even though the day and the hour will still be kept secret because it is not suitable for the human soul when it is revealed to it. God knows the hour and He will keep it, as it is intended in His plan from eternity. And His word is to be fully believed, the hour will come as a surprise even to those who are initiated, who reckon with the near end …. For once it will become the present, because the word of God is truth. And that is why this hour is constantly referred to in the last days, because it comes like a thief in the night …. And it ends a long period of redemption and ushers in a new era …. The old earth will pass away and a new earth will arise, not only spiritually but also materially, because this has been determined since eternity ….

Amen

During the time of affliction, you will clearly and distinctly hear the voice of the spirit as long as you uphold your contact with God and desire to hear Him. He will not withdraw His gift of grace, He will convey it ever more abundantly for He knows what you require, He knows that you need comfort and support and that only He can offer these to you. The more closely you join Him the more He will endow you with His Word, with His love, which He manifests in the Word. And you will not be so harshly affected by the affliction, for God Himself will lift you up and above the misery. He can give you a joyful heart despite the external adversity, he will make you modest and patient, so that you will not miss anything and only desire that He will reveal Himself to you, that He will speak to you and that you receive His grace …. And He will grant you this desire, He will sharpen your spiritual ear and you will hear His voice wherever you are and at all times. And the spiritual nourishment will make you more profoundly happy than any earthly fulfilment. Your body will be content with little, you will no longer pay attention to it, yet your soul will be abundantly cared for and will never need to starve.

And if you are faced by earthly adversity it will no longer discourage you, because you will be able to take it to the One Who promised His help to you because He loves you like a Father loves His children. The time of affliction need therefore not frighten you if you consider yourselves His children and communicate with Him from the bottom of your heart. He will answer you and you will hear His voice in your heart, and what He tells you will lift you up and make you happy, it will make you strong and confident, it will silence all your worries and troubles, for you will be able to gain profound and unshakable faith, because you will be taught by God’s spirit and His voice will affect you like a fatherly word of encouragement which you will never ever doubt. And your heart will rejoice because you recognise the loving Father, Who deems you worthy of His voice. Your spiritual progress will let you forget everything, you will endure whatever suffering and deprivations the body has to put up with, for your body will become less sensitive the more spiritualised the soul becomes …. The soul, however, will rejoice once it has reached the goal of sensing God and hearing His voice as often as it desires ….

Amen

In the night of death God’s love is no longer effective on the being, i.e. its distance from God makes the being insensitive to it, and therefore its state is an extremely agonizing one which can only be lifted, i.e. alleviated, when the being strives towards God again through its will. Only then does it slowly begin to return from the completely powerless state into the state of life in which God’s love can again have an effect on the beingness. The being never stands outside of God’s love, but as long as it tries to withdraw itself from His love, it is also ineffective on it. But He constantly tries to persuade it to switch itself back into the circuit of divine love, and since it is initially too weak-willed or even has an opposing will, He binds this will insofar as that it is completely incapable of carrying it out. But since the being’s freedom of will is its original nature it seeks to escape this banished state, and after endless times it declares itself willing to subordinate itself to God’s will and thus to become active in accordance with His legislation, which underlies creation …. And then this activity is assigned to it, it is granted a relaxed envelopment in which it can now carry out what corresponds to God’s will. It cannot act against it because it is in a state of compulsion, it is completely subject to God’s will but through its willingness it has acquired the right to fulfil a task in the midst of creation which will always be a serving one towards another work of creation. But since it needs strength for every activity and therefore now also has it at its disposal, it has made itself receptive again through its will for God’s strength of love. It can become effective on the beingness, even if it is unrecognized by the beingness itself in its darkness. The recognition of what the influx of the strength of love means for the beingness is only possible for the beingness in the state of free will, which can now step out of the darkness of the spirit into the brightest light embodied as a human being if it uses its free will correctly. The being’s ascent development is only possible from the moment God’s strength of love can take effect, and this effectiveness first requires the abandonment of resistance against God. Even if the being is too weak to strive towards God, the lack of will is nevertheless no longer open resistance against God, and the weakness of will can be remedied through the loving care of the perfect beingness, which constantly tries to move it towards God-turned thinking, as well as through the prayer of people on earth for all weak spiritual beings still languishing under the spell of matter …. If the beingness is willing to serve then it has overcome its weakness of will and progresses in its ascent development. And if, in the stage as a human being, service in love is the result of its free will, then God’s strength of love will be fully effective in it, then the human being will have entered the state of life from the state of death, it will constantly receive strength from God, it will reduce its distance from Him and be constantly active in love. As a free, self-aware being it will act according to its own will and yet be subject to divine will, for since it is permeated by God’s strength, which is love in itself, its entire being must also be love, and this is the effect of divine strength of love, that the being which does not close itself off to His strength of love also becomes love …. This is the state of life, of unity with God and of bliss, because the being feels the strength of love as highest happiness, as closeness to God and desire for constant activity ….

Amen

The world order cannot be overturned eternally because it is determined by divine law, and this is inviolable. No spiritual power can influence it, and only the spiritual beings associated with God are permitted to implement this law, which therefore also corresponds to divine will. Thus only the human being can sin against divine order, i.e. he can have the will to do so and is not prevented from doing so, yet even then he is unable to overturn the divine world order, i.e. to completely repeal His law, instead he can only seemingly interfere with God’s order but at the same time incur the consequences which are to his own detriment. Because the human being has free will, he is given the opportunity to also transgress against God’s will, yet he will not thereby cause His law of eternity to waver, which he believes he can do or he would not make the attempt. But the attempt is already a sin against God’s wisdom, love and omnipotence …. For the attempt proves a will directed against God. The whole of creation is based on divine law, the spiritual kingdom and the earthly kingdom are governed by God’s law, spiritual and material creations exist and move in accordance with divine order, and all entities have to submit to this law, they have to adapt themselves to the world order, otherwise they manifest a will which is contrary to God and exclude themselves from the blessings of divine order as being outside the law. To live in the order of God always means harmony and immortality, it means a state of bliss. But that which believes it can exist outside the divine order will also vegetate in an ungodly state until it voluntarily submits to the divine order. For profoundest wisdom was at work, and the divine law, the entire world order, the structure of the earthly as well as the spiritual creation also corresponds to this. But no being surpasses the wisdom and omnipotence of God, and in the state of perfection the being completely subordinates itself to His wisdom and omnipotence and completely submits to His law of eternity, it lives and works according to His order and does not transgress against it in the slightest. The being, however, which recognizes neither His wisdom nor His love and omnipotence, certainly makes an attempt to violate the divine order, but it only puts itself out of order but never God’s law, yet this attempt already brings it spiritual disadvantage and eternal penance until it rejoins the divine order ….

Amen

By virtue of the guidelines given to the human being through the divine commandments he can also exercise spiritual control over his thoughts, words and actions at any time. And this is necessary if he wants to constantly progress in his development, for he can very easily fall into the error of becoming sluggish and neglecting the work on his soul as soon as he believes to live in accordance with God’s will. Then there is always the danger of stagnation which he can very easily avert as soon as he exercises strict self-criticism and accounts for every thought, every word and every deed as to whether they are good, i.e. whether they correspond to God’s commandments, Who only demands love. For God’s adversary does not rest, he seeks to gain influence over the soul, over the human being’s will, until the last hour. And therefore the human being is never out of danger of falling prey to him if he is not mindful and always takes God’s commandments as a guideline for his way of life. Self-knowledge is the first thing a person needs if he wants to change from the bottom of his soul, for he will only strive for an improvement, a change for the better, if he discovers deficiencies in himself. In all humility he should ask God for the grace of self-knowledge, he should often hold up the mirror of his soul to himself and fight against everything impure, he should practice gentleness, peaceableness, patience and mercy, he should serve with love and be of an humble spirit, then he will also receive the strength to recognize his faults and correct them. For the human being cannot do anything without God’s support, his will and strength are too weak if they are not strengthened by divine love. Yet the human being should muster the will to make himself worthy of divine strength of love. And thus he should work on himself and constantly think about his faults and weaknesses, only then will he be able to get rid of them, because with good will he will also receive the strength to fight against them. The divine commandments only demand love, and therefore it is easy to check how far one’s thinking, speaking and acting corresponds to love of God and neighbour. And if this standard is applied the human being will exercise strict criticism of himself, he will not be negligent in his soul’s work, he will wrestle and pray and thereby also gain possession of grace, he will unite with God ever more intimately through his prayer, and he will mature in his soul. For then he will live his earthly life consciously, he will try to shape himself according to God’s will …. he takes God’s commandments as a guideline and thus acts according to His word …. And he will never ever remain at a standstill but travel the constant path of ascent until he reaches the aim …. the union with God …. which can only be achieved if the human being changes to love, if he aligns himself with the nature of eternal love, which is supremely perfect, and if he thus strives to become perfect ….

Amen

Your creator and sustainer constantly cares for you, and He takes care of each individual full of love. His hand guides you and He shapes your destiny according to His will, certainly always for the salvation of your souls, yet He also considers your body as long as it is the soul’s shell and is meant to help it ascend. And if you believe this you will be able to travel your path through life carefree and also need not despair when stormy days come which require all your strength. Then trust in His help and ask Him for strength …. Present your needs to Him and wait for Him, Who created you, Who is your father since eternity …. Call to Him like children and take refuge in His fatherly heart, and His love will give you what you need …. strength and grace, earthly and spiritual help, by virtue of which you will master everything and overcome the most difficult situations in life. But make yourselves worthy of His loving care, remain active in love yourselves and strive towards Him, try to gain His pleasure through a way of life which corresponds to His will. And His fatherly love will cover you to such an extent that you will feel it, that nothing will be too difficult for you, whatever is demanded of you. Be strong in faith, be active in love and make God’s will your own, then God will guide you and under His guidance you will walk the right path and reach the aim ….

Amen

I intervene in world events at the right time, and I steer them in other directions. But before My will goes into action I give human will free rein to the extreme. I allow what people want to carry out in order to then tangibly instruct them, since gentle instruction completely misses its purpose because people close their ears when they are confronted with the ruinousness of their actions. Thus I do not hinder their will if they resort to means which every right-thinking person must abhor; neither do I hinder the great adversity their will conjures up; nor do I deprive them of the vitality they use to carry out deeds which are worthy of condemnation, but I let them do as they see fit. However, a limit has been set for them which they cannot cross …. And one day their will will not be able to do anything because My will is stronger …. You, My believers, should not indulge in heavy thoughts, you should live every day full of confidence and only ever strive towards My nearness through unselfish activity of love; you should help where your help is needed and thereby make your heart receptive for the strength of love which flows over to you from Me when you need it. For demands will be made of you and in order to be able to fulfil them you must receive grace and strength from Me. Whatever may come is My work, My will and your destiny, which will shape itself as your state of maturity requires. People still rage and everyone tries to increase his strength through unkindness, and this is ruin, for I have to prove their lack of strength to them …. But before that I still bring Myself to their remembrance by letting people get into an adversity that they should call to Me …. Their souls shall seek Me, they shall not call upon Me with their mouths but from the bottom of their hearts they shall appeal to Me for help. Everywhere is hardship and misery, and yet suffering is unable to transform people …. They remain unloving and domineering, and they forcibly seek their supposed right. And where they do not find this, they proceed with brutal means of struggle …. And I allow this …. But the end I determine Myself. I come at the right time and let My voice be heard. And therefore do not be afraid but faithfully wait for My help if it appears as if you are in serious danger …. My father’s eye watches over you who remain united with Me in prayer and loving activity …. I let nothing approach you which could endanger you, and I am constantly with you if you call upon Me. And this is certain, that the hours of adversity will come to an end through Me before you, My believers, are affected by it …. For I have promised you My protection …. But My word is truth and will remain truth forever ….

Amen

It is absolutely necessary that you learn to despise the world if you want your soul to mature, for only when it no longer desires it will it turn to the spiritual kingdom, to the world which is its actual home, which offers it everything that helps it to ascend and which is therefore also the aim it should reach through earthly life. The more the human being detaches himself from material things, the more his senses deaden themselves for earthly pleasures and enjoyments, the more the soul spiritualizes itself …. As long as the human being lives on earth he must indeed submit to the demands of the body up to a certain limit, he must fulfil earthly obligations, he must carry out earthly activities; thus he is earth-bound and cannot detach himself from it purely physically until God calls him into the spiritual kingdom. Nevertheless, the human being can live a second life next to his earthly one …. The life of the soul need not be completely involved in the life of the body, the soul need not strive for the same as the body, but it can form its kingdom completely independently of it, which, however, lies far away from the yearning of the body …. it can turn to the spiritual kingdom, and then the body will certainly fulfil its earthly task but never strive for earthly pleasures for itself again, instead, it will soon join the soul’s desire and likewise seek to be spiritually active as soon as its earthly duties allow it time and opportunity to do so. And as soon as this degree is reached, that the human being now disregards all material goods, as soon as he sets the spiritual kingdom as the aim of his striving, he is also immune to strong temptations on the part of the world. He can no longer fall prey to it, he will only have to endure slight struggles at times, if the world presents itself to him again and again with its joys and pleasures and wants to win him over for itself. But these are only temptations which he will always overcome because the powers of the spiritual kingdom …. the kingdom towards which his soul is striving …. never ever let him go, because they pull him with tireless love and thus constantly influence his soul so that it feels the strength within itself to offer resistance. The greater the renunciation of the material world, the stronger the transmission of strength from the spiritual kingdom. And this influx of strength not only benefits the soul but also the body, for the latter is now also able to master its earthly task without therefore neglecting the soul. And the earthly task will be a service in active neighbourly love, the human being will also attain maturity of soul through his earthly activity because this is now in accordance with God’s will. For the human being who disregards earthly aims, who no longer desires the world’s goods, will also only carry out an activity which benefits his fellow human beings, he will only give but not want to possess and thereby strive ever more towards the spiritual kingdom. Thus the soul voluntarily fulfils its actual purpose …. it overcomes matter and spiritualizes itself, it kills off the body’s desire which is originally its own and makes it inclined to join the soul’s desire; it pulls it over into the spiritual kingdom with it, and thus it seriously pursues the aim which is set for it for its earthly life, and it will also reach this aim, for all forces of light stand by it so that it finds the path into the eternal home ….

Amen

Despite greatest earthly hardship humanity does not find its way back to Me, and this prompts Me to let them continue to go through a hard school, for in a short time the earthly life which still gives them this opportunity will be over. People don’t accept My admonitions, they don’t hear My voice when I speak to them through suffering, they don’t open the door of their heart which I knock on softly and louder, their thoughts are only earthly-minded, they only fear for their body and don’t consider the hardship of their souls. And therefore I have to call even louder, I have to intensify the suffering even more in order to bring help to their souls. And therein you must look for the reason when a seemingly unbearable suffering befalls you humans; you must know that I am closer to you than ever, for your nature takes Me, I take pity on your spiritual blindness and your obduracy, the consequences of which you cannot measure but which I can never ever turn away from you against your will. And therefore I try to change the will, for as soon as it only turns to Me I can help people and grant them strength and help. And thus a time of adversity is approaching which will make the end time quite recognizable. And anyone who does not turn his gaze to Me, who does not raise his hands to Me in supplication, will be pressed to the ground by the great adversity and will no longer be able to rise. But anyone who remains united with Me, who finds his way to Me in adversity, will be guided through all suffering, and My love and grace will accompany him by making everything difficult bearable and giving him strength at all times. But your call must come from your heart, you must be able to believe in the depth of your heart that I am and that I can and want to help you, only then will you acknowledge Me, and only then can I noticeably give you strength and grace, I can take the suffering away from you and grant you earthly relief. But as long as you pass Me by when I step into your path through My word, as long as you don’t accept this word of Mine as a gift of love from Me, as long as you don’t recognize My obvious working or merely speak My name without your heart being involved, you may not expect to experience better times either. For then your earthly life will pass by unsuccessfully for your souls, although your body would gratefully acknowledge the relief of life. But I remember the souls, for they are in great need. And since the body’s distress is only short-lived, whereas the soul has to languish for eternities, I come to the soul’s aid. Only when the human being no longer has earthly desires does he turn to his soul, that is, he mentally occupies himself with knowledge imparted to him, and he gives the soul the opportunity to ascend into the spiritual kingdom, and thus he seeks Me and I let Myself be found by him. I will bring My word close to him, and as soon as he faithfully accepts it, complies with it and thus lives a life of love, his soul will mature, he will establish contact with Me and have drawn the right benefit from the adversity of the time, he will successfully strive upwards and spiritualize himself already on earth ….

Amen

You humans hear the word of God and yet you let it ring in your ears and don’t comply with it, for you express this through your way of life which does not correspond to divine will, God’s will, which is made known to you through His word and which should therefore determine your way of life. And therefore you are all to blame if God now makes His will known to you in a different way, if instead of His gentle word He lets you go through a school of suffering which is meant to teach you the same, only in a way which does not appeal to you. Suffering only affects a few people undeservedly, yet they know about God’s eternal plan of salvation, they know about the meaning and purpose of earthly life and also about the meaning and purpose of suffering; they know that only God’s great love uses this means of education to win people over for Himself, and therefore they humbly bear the suffering which they also have to take upon themselves for the sake of their fellow human beings. But at the same time they have a compensation for their suffering body …. they have refreshment and comfort for their souls …. for they gratefully accept the word of God and draw comfort and strength from it …. They refresh themselves at the source of grace which God’s love has opened up for them, and suffering does not oppress them to the same extent as fellow human beings feel it, to whom that source of strength is closed due to their own fault. God foresaw the coming adversity and therefore conveyed His word to earth in order to help His own gain strength of faith and inner peace, for the adversity had to come because people’s will itself had conjured it up; yet those who are devoted to God, who therefore are not to blame for the adversity, shall not be depressed by this adversity, they shall not remain without strength and without inner comfort …. And therefore they will always be allowed to hear the divine word, they will receive it directly or through God’s servants on earth who shall serve as mediators between God and people. And anyone who allows this word of His to take effect on him need not fear, even though the adversity around him appears to be immense, for He Who sends it upon people is also able to banish it …. He is able to put a stop to the greatest calamity if His wisdom and His will deem it necessary. God does not leave His own in adversity, yet for the sake of their fellow human beings they often have to take part in it. But they should keep their firm faith that they are not abandoned by Him …. They should gain this faith from His word, they should draw strength from it and be strengthened in their love for God. They shall fulfil God’s will before their fellow human beings’ eyes and thus exemplify the right life to them, they shall give them an example of the effectiveness of the divine word so that they will remain in deepest inner peace even in the greatest earthly adversity, so that their fellow human beings will also learn to respect the word of God and live accordingly ….

Amen

Every event is based on My love, even if it is incomprehensible to people; they will never lose My love, even though they do not feel it. But My aim is to make them receptive and sensitive for My love. And I encounter resistance if I gently and tenderly draw people to Me and offer them My love. I encounter resistance, they strive away from Me and towards something which appears as a mirage before their eyes …. the world with its earthly goods, dead matter and everything which belongs to My adversary’s kingdom. But I do not want to and cannot forcibly break their resistance because I respect the human being’s free will. And yet I love My creations …. And thus I choose other means to win people over, to make them compliant and turned towards Me …. The tender wooing goes unheeded, thus I have to call louder, I have to make Myself noticeable to people …. I must let them get into trouble in order to then become recognizable to them through help as soon as they have not completely renounced Me …. I must teach them to pray …. And this only brings about hardship if people are in a low state of maturity and believe that they can live their earthly life without Me. They have to recognize their own powerlessness in order to call upon Me to help them. This is the purpose of all hardship and tribulation which humanity has to suffer. I always help if a plea from the heart comes to Me; I always accept the person who acknowledges Me and appeals to Me for mercy …. for My love does not deny itself …. But whether a prayer rises up to Me from the heart, that I alone know …. I don’t pay attention to empty words, I don’t pay attention to demanding prayer but I want to be approached in deep love for the fulfilment of a request, so that My love can now also express itself and become tangible to the human being. If a heart is sincerely devoted to Me and demonstrates its love for Me by being active for Me, then My love will also be revealed to him, for I will spread My hands under his feet and he will have nothing to fear because I Myself direct all events according to My will. And even if human will strives for the opposite, My will will keep everything from an earthly child devoted to Me, so that it will also recognize the loving father in Me and trust Me, if it is still weak. The more threatening the world is to the human being the more confidently he shall take refuge in My fatherly heart, and I will not disappoint his faith …. I will give him the evidence that his faith alone is able to work miracles and that I, as the lord and creator of heaven and earth, also force earthly events and guide them into other courses if I can thereby help a deeply believing earthly child because it loves Me and thus carries Me in its heart …. I want to see this intimate relationship between a child and its father established, where the child always approaches the father in full trust and asks for protection and grace …. Not words alone prove this relationship but only the feeling of the heart …. But I love My living creations, and where I find reciprocated love I am always willing to give and fulfil, and a prayer will never go unheard which ascends to Me from the depth of a loving heart. Therefore hope and believe and do not be afraid, for I, your father, protect you and will not abandon you for ever …. The more you feel threatened, the closer I am to you, and I will banish every adversity if you faithfully trust in Me ….

Amen

In hours of adversity God is so obviously recognizable that people of good will would have to become believers if only they would keep the course of their lives in mind, which again and again reveals divine guidance. His loving guidance will be recognizable especially in times of adversity, for again and again a way out will be found, and it would be unwise to portray this way out as coincidence, for it can often change a person’s whole life. Every smallest event in a person’s life is God’s providence, i.e. according to God’s eternal plan of salvation His unsurpassable wisdom found it to be beneficial for his soul and thus imposed it on him. If the human being is severely affected by such providence, i.e. if he finds himself in a difficult situation, God, in His love, is always willing to turn this situation into a bearable one again, and He often does this so obviously that the human being’s thinking can become perplexed, that by reflecting on it he is guided towards an omnipotent, wise and loving being. And it is up to him whether he takes up these thoughts, thus comes to believe in a supremely perfect being and turns to Him. And thus God approaches every human being and tries to convince him of His existence. He tries to bring him to faith through every adversity and the subsequent help. But it is absolutely necessary that the human being is willing, i.e. that he takes his own stand, which requires thinking about the meaning and purpose of the adversity. A person who feels hardship bitterly will also gratefully accept God’s help, and he will then seriously think about it, and this will bring him to inner deep faith. And therefore the coming time can also be exceedingly faith-awakening and invigorating because obvious help will come if the human being wrestles in prayer, who therefore believes in God and His might, in His love and wisdom. The help is therefore a recognizable sign of omnipotence and love, and it will not be without effect on the human being, he will be able to become faithful if he is willing and only ever pays attention to how his life’s fate unfolds, where great adversity is often remedied and he learns to regard everything in life as God’s providence …. For God reveals Himself in adversity, He reveals Himself to anyone who is thoughtful and wants to recognize God ….

Amen

Only a few people are in possession of the direct Word because only a few are so strong-willed that they consciously and attentively listen within and thus also believe in God’s working in the human being through His spirit. This belief is a prerequisite; however, it will also have come alive through practising neighbourly love so that through the latter the person will have become a receiving vessel for the divine spirit. But he must also muster the will to carefully listen to the instructions through the divine spirit. And this requires love and effort …. Love for God and effort to overcome all weaknesses and faults. The human being must constantly work at improving himself and have the will to come close to God …. Hence he must place spiritual striving above earthly matters and therefore also conscientiously undertake the spiritual work, and this first involves the work of receiving the divine Word, which requires a particularly strong will, for the daily acceptance of the divine Word is an act of utmost strength of will, because time and again the latter must be activated anew, for only then can the divine gift of strength be offered to the person. Although the person is only a tool of which God avails Himself in order to speak to people in a natural way the person’s free will is nevertheless decisive, and thus he is not forced or obliged to write in a pathological state without his own will, but he can act completely freely and by no means needs to open his ears and heart. In that case, however, receiving divine spiritual knowledge will be impossible.

This is why only a few people can be found who completely voluntarily make themselves available and persistently listen within themselves every day …. who thus want and also put their will into action by withdrawing from the world, by establishing the heartfelt connection with God, appeal to Him and wait for the granting of their prayer. This requires time and the abandoning of demands made by the body. Anyone who loves his body too much, that is, who only seeks the purpose of earthly life in earthly well-being is totally incapable of mustering this will, for the body will always try to weaken the latter and the person will finally comply with the body’s demand, he will become careless and sluggish, he will also have little faith in God’s love and kindness and not appeal to Him for His gift of grace, and then it cannot be conveyed to him either …. Only few people are willing to hand their will over to God and to let themselves be guided by Him. But these few are true labourers in the vineyard of the Lord, they have proved themselves to be loyal followers of God and therefore they also constantly receive the strength in order to fortify their will, they are time and again willing to listen to the voice within. And the result is divine spiritual knowledge which can have an inconceivably blessed effect if, in turn, a fellow human being musters the will to let himself be taught by them. The will always has to become active again, because God does not force anyone to turn towards His kingdom and thereby also towards His grace …. But anyone who musters this will is blessed by God, and he will be able to achieve great success, both for his own soul as well as for that of his fellow human being …. And he will be a successful labourer in the vineyard of the Lord and strength and grace will be abundantly at his disposal ….

Amen

An incomparable event will bring about a change in the adversity, for the earthly battle will thereby be ended in order to, however, usher in a new epoch which will be no less sorrowful. For in order to avert earthly suffering from humanity they would have to change seriously, yet they will not muster the will to do so. An enormous setback is to be expected, an event which comes completely unexpectedly and which will have tremendously serious consequences. No power will enjoy a supposed victory, no clear decision will come about in the struggle of the nations against each other, but a solution will come from a third side …. God Himself will speak the last word in this battle which was solely motivated by earthly aims. God will destroy people’s plans and let His will come into action. But before that a hard test is still necessary, the battle still has to reach a climax which seems almost impossible but which will be of very short duration but which will make people’s depravity so very recognizable. Then the hand of God will intervene and put a stop to it. One adversity will end but very soon be replaced by another adversity which will not depress people any less because the first one was not successful. People themselves are the originators of all suffering that comes upon them, for they do not improve even though they are admonished and warned again and again. Yet His will happens, and it is not human will which determines the course of an event, even though human will has caused it …. And therefore, no matter how carefully people’s plan is worked out, if it does not correspond to the divine plan it will not be able to be carried out …. God will correct it and people will have to act according to His will …. And people are now at the end of their activity, for God Himself determines the further course, even though people believe to have initiated it. God’s will is decisive, and it will soon become recognizable because a new time of battle will begin which will not have earthly but spiritual aims as its occasion ….

Amen

Through world events the spiritual low shall be remedied, and the great hardship shall contribute to the approach to God …. thus earthly events have the purpose of leading people to their actual destiny, to educate them for the actual life in the spiritual kingdom one day. Therefore, the entire event corresponds to the divine plan of eternity, even though nothing will ever meet God’s approval which is the fault of human will because it is obviously His adversary’s work. Nevertheless, He also includes this work in His eternal plan of salvation, He lets it happen, as it were as a prelude to all upheavals in the last days. There can only be an improvement for people if they change fundamentally, that is, if they strive for a higher state of maturity. And if the fate of the individual or the entire events in the world have entered this higher degree of maturity of the soul, then it has not been without success, and then even God’s adversary has indirectly contributed to God receiving His sheep back, that they join Him and are cared for by Himself. And the soul is no longer lost without salvation …. And thus everything in the entire universe serves and is subject to His eternal will. Thus even the forces of darkness are subject to God, and consequently God Himself determines the course of everything that takes place in the universe, regardless of whether it has good or evil will as its cause. God is just, He will never praise a bad thought or a bad deed, but He allows them to be carried out so that fellow human beings shall recognize that they are not God-willed, that they feel the effect of such thoughts or deeds in order to refrain from them of their own free will. But He will constantly draw people’s attention to the injustice, and especially in such a way that He will not let people’s evil plans succeed. And so He again directs a plan, which is recognizable through human hatred and the will to destroy, towards a completely different end than people reckon. But first He shows their depravity so that people will think again, so that they will make an effort to change, so that the spiritual low will be remedied and people will come closer to God, Who is to be their only aim on earth. For although they are left with free will, God nevertheless intervenes when this free will is abused and people are thereby spiritually endangered …. And such an intervention by God will also now steer world events in a different direction, because people’s will let it become an injustice which clearly marks their corruption. Yet the adversity on earth will not become less, for it is necessary since people will not change and have to be brought into situations where they should and can seek contact with God so that their souls will be rescued from utmost spiritual hardship. For it is the time of the end which should still be used before it is too late ….

Amen

People do not recognize the gracious end time as such, for they do not know about the blessing of suffering, they do not know that suffering is also a grace through which the soul can still be saved, which is distant from God and eternally cannot reach the aim if it does not reduce its distance from God through loving activity. And loving activity can be the result of great suffering …. God gives people the opportunity to practice love, for suffering takes on the form that the fellow human being is stimulated to be active in love as soon as he is not completely hardened. What a person would not do of his own accord in a time of orderly circumstances, he can nevertheless do out of inner impulse in the face of overwhelming need …. He can take care of his fellow human being and helpfully assist him, the flame of neighbourly love can be kindled in him, and then his soul will have gained the greatest advantage from the earthly adversity. God is constantly intent on leading the souls to greater maturity or to put them into a state where their soul’s cover is detached so that they can at least enter the kingdom of the beyond in a state of recognition before the end of days or join the small congregation of their own accord which perseveres until the end in faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer ….

If man reaches this aim through suffering, then suffering is the last salvation for him, it is a grace that is still granted to him shortly before the end. For without suffering he remains in a state of remoteness from God because love is not active in him. The means God uses to help people’s souls must be particularly sharp shortly before the end if they are not to remain without effect. And people in their spiritual blindness only see the sharpness of those means but not their blessing. But once they have been put into a bright state through the working of love, once they have joined the flock of Christ’s fighters, then they look back with gratitude on the days of their physical hardship, they recognize the purpose and the blessing of the sufferings and also God’s love, which is always mindful of the maturing of imperfect souls. The time until the end is no longer long, but people are so far behind in their spiritual development that they need a significantly longer time to catch up with it ….. Consequently, they have to go through a school in which they can mature faster if they pass every test of life, if they make use of every opportunity. They have to pass a purification fire, the wrapping of their souls has to be melted through suffering and love, then it is possible that they will still perfect themselves in this short time so that in the end they will belong to those who argue for Jesus Christ. And then eternal bliss is assured for them. And the sooner a person of his own free will practices the love to which his fellow human being’s suffering should impel him, the easier the latter will seem to be bearable to him, for if the actual purpose is achieved through suffering, thus the sooner the person has made use of grace, the sooner this can also be taken away from him. The blessings of the last days will only be truly recognized in the spiritual kingdom, for the human being as such does not have an overview on earth, he does not recognize the great spiritual adversity, he does not know the danger he is in if he fails and what a tremendous concept it is to have to live through another period of development. This realization will only be granted to him in the spiritual kingdom, and then he will be grateful for every help he received in the form of suffering on earth …. Only then will he realize the measure of grace God has granted people on earth and that without suffering it was never possible to reach the aim. But as long as he lives on earth he is offered the opportunity for the higher development of his soul, and for as long as he lives he also has graces at his disposal. And suffering is one of the greatest blessings, after all, it is the most effective means to educate the human being into loving activity. And therefore God uses this means before the end has come in order to still win souls for His kingdom, in order to help them so that they will not be eternally lost ….

Amen

People give themselves false hopes if they expect improvement from the coming time, for it will only be bearable for a few people. Only those people who are united with Me through prayer and loving activity will be less burdened; the others, on the other hand, will have to go through a time of renunciation and most difficult life struggles in order to prepare themselves for the last test of earthly life, for the battle against faith …. Adversity and tribulation beforehand shall cause them to call Me, to learn to recognize Me, so that they will then remain faithful to Me and join the flock of My fighters …. As soon as they are united with Me the adversity and affliction will be alleviated, by virtue of their faith they will overcome all weakness and I will provide them with every relief when they have to endure the former for the sake of their fellow human beings. And therefore there can also be a quiet island of peace in the midst of greatest adversity; in the midst of human devils people can also live who are connected to God, to whom the former cannot harm anything, because a dense protective wall surrounds them, which is formed by good spiritual beings. And thus there will be places everywhere where My love and grace prevail in contrast to those where My adversary is active and where therefore no peace and tranquillity can arise. But I Myself create the places of peace because I know My own and will always make their life bearable for them. And these places shall also be recognized by fellow human beings as places of peace because I want them to take refuge there in adversity and receive words of comfort and strengthening from those who live in peace themselves and can now also distribute it by passing on My word, by awakening faith in My wisdom, love and omnipotence. For this faith characterizes the place of peace. But it will be very little represented amongst humanity, and therefore a haven of peace will only rarely be able to arise, for humanity no longer recognizes Me and is distant from Me …. And where I Myself cannot dwell there is no peace, no happiness and no light …. And the world will continue to be in darkness and earthly hardship despite the end of a phase of battle which has brought bitter suffering upon people, for they themselves are unwilling to accept instructions from those who constantly draw wisdom from their bond with Me. And this is why the time of adversity is not over so quickly, even though the earthly battle is nearing its end. For I can only consider those who strive towards Me and create an easier existence for them. For the majority of humanity, however, earthly life will continue to be a difficult battle until they submit to Me and make My will their own ….

Amen

A progressive development must also be recognizable, for it will always express itself in a constructive way, never in a destructive way. Whether we are dealing with works of creation in nature or with the results of human creativity, it will always be possible to determine a purely external progress, which is equal to a constructive activity. Where, on the other hand, destruction or annihilation become recognizable, spiritual decline can also be unhesitatingly concluded, but this is only possible in the human stage, whereas progress, i.e. upward development, can always be recorded in the works of creation in nature, because even the apparent destruction or annihilation, which was not brought about by human will, results in the emergence of new creations in a higher degree of maturity, thus purely externally progress can also be recognized. But the human being can also accomplish works which in no way signify a higher development, which never promote the development of the human being but rather disadvantage it. These are the works which lack all love, which, even if they seem to build up, only pursue the opposite …. to destroy or to support a general chaos. Accordingly, every work can be examined for its value before God, and afterwards the spiritual state of maturity can also be recognized and judged at any time. Everything a person does should be viewed under the mirror of neighbourly love …. it must serve fellow human beings or other creations for their preservation or reproduction, it must be active neighbourly love in the true sense of the word. And this will always mean spiritual higher development. But where neighbourly love is not practiced, people’s works will also show decay or complete destruction and consequently not betray any spiritual progress either ….

Amen

Spiritual progress is approaching God, it is reducing the distance from God …. but God is the creator and sustainer of all things, thus the being which approaches Him must also endeavour to preserve divine creations. But God’s adversary strives for the destruction of God’s created works, and if the human being offers his hand to do so, if he is destructively active under his influence, he is also in bondage to him; he likewise opposes God, and this is a great spiritual decline which, although not particularly deeply felt on earth, is nevertheless decisive for the whole of eternity. The ultimate purpose must always be the creation of a useful object, then the destruction of matter can also be right before God, thus it can be regarded as a work of construction, whereas every action against an already existing work of creation, which is undertaken unkindly and to the detriment of the neighbour, must be regarded as a work of destruction contrary to God. Spiritual progress, however, is only possible through works of love, by which everything is meant which is helpful to the neighbour, which therefore does not violate the commandment of love for God and neighbour. However, spiritual higher development is the only aim on earth, consequently the human being’s activity must be a constructive one, earthly progress must also be recognizable, a constant reshaping of external forms, so that the spiritual being sheltered in them can continue its course of development. And this is also, so to speak, a building up, even if works of creation are destroyed, because they have to arise again and serve a specific purpose, thus the human being helps the spiritual in form to develop higher, and the human being himself matures in his soul the more love becomes active in him. However, people who are not active in any way in the transformation of matter will remain at a standstill, even if they don’t express themselves destructively, because spiritual progress necessarily involves an activity of love and this will also be recognizable as building up ….

Amen

The willingness to fulfil a spiritual task earns the human being increased abilities which, however, must first be trained. So the human being is not exceptionally predisposed as such, but through his will he increases certain spiritual dispositions himself and can now be instructed accordingly. His task first requires knowledge, into which he must therefore be slowly introduced. It also requires a lively intellectual activity in order to be able to reproduce the knowledge vividly, otherwise it cannot become effective. The human being himself must be completely permeated by the knowledge, thus he must first have made himself receptive to it through serious desire, and this required the will for truth. If these conditions are fulfilled then the human being will be seized by God’s love, he will be instructed, his knowledge will constantly increase so that he will then have spiritual wealth at his disposal which will enable him to carry out the task he has been given for the time on earth if he voluntarily offers himself for it. Thus his ability does not depend on his natural disposition but his will alone is decisive as to whether this ability is developed in him. And thus every person can grow beyond his natural disposition if he declares himself willing to work as a labourer in the vineyard of the lord and contribute to the salvation of countless souls from spiritual darkness. This serious will can completely change a person by directing his thinking into completely new areas which were previously foreign to him. And this is already the working of God Who prepares him for his earthly task. The gift of intellect will be sharpened so that he will therefore also be able to vividly reproduce the knowledge he has received. He always has to be completely permeated by knowledge if he wants to pass it on to his fellow human being, because he also has to expect objections from him which he should refute, which he can only do if he has intellectually processed what he has received extraordinarily, thus through spiritual activity. But the fact that God’s spirit can work in a human being is irrefutable, only this also presupposes conditions which the human being’s will has to fulfil. And the first condition is unselfish loving activity …. Without this the spirit of God cannot become effective in the human being. But where love is practiced, understanding will also be shown towards the extraordinary working of the spirit, even if the person previously lacks knowledge of the spirit’s strength. Hence, a person’s degree of love determines his abilities, and every person can reach this degree if he seriously wants to, thus every person can also have extraordinary abilities at his disposal if he is extraordinarily lovingly active and voluntarily willing to fulfil a task which applies to his fellow human being’s salvation …. he makes himself available to God as a labourer in the vineyard of the lord. Then he is trained by God Himself …. he is instructed in order to now also be able to work according to God’s will ….

Amen

Spiritual work should come before earthly activity. The human being must imagine how extremely necessary it is, how difficult it is for the spiritual kingdom to be spread on earth and that the actual purpose of earthly life is the spiritualization of the soul. And since people are too weak and unwilling to undertake this work themselves, they must be helped by those who recognize the meaning and purpose of earthly life and have successfully tackled the work of spiritualizing their soul themselves. They must also help those on the right path, they must try to increase the small spiritual kingdom on earth, they must only ever strive to bring people closer to God, they must promote His kingdom on earth and use every opportunity to do so. But there are only a few who want to work as labourers in the vineyard of the lord. And therefore their activity is so extremely important that it must not be fragmented or neglected through overzealous earthly activity. For many people can be found for the latter but not for spiritual activity, which remains incomprehensible to people as long as they do not strive spiritually themselves. God Himself instructs His workers to work for Him, and He promises them His constant protection …. He makes them capable for their work, He assigns them the field of work …. the hearts and minds of people who are not completely devoid of God’s will. He uses His willing workers as instruments to speak through them to people whom He wants to save from spiritual adversity, from the distress of their souls. And He uses a mediator to conceal Himself in this in order not to curtail people’s freedom of faith and will, which would endanger His directly spoken word. And therefore every servant in His vineyard is welcome to Him …. therefore He blesses everyone who makes himself available for this work, who is active for the salvation of the erring souls out of love for God and his fellow human beings, for the last time has come …. and every hour shall be used before the end ….

Amen
