Where My word resounds, the overwhelming suffering on earth is banished. The human being certainly has to struggle and fight as long as he lives on earth, yet he has profound faith in Me and My love, he lives in trust of My help and constantly feels My saving hand which guides him out of all dangers of body and soul. And therefore he will no longer fear adversity, he will not feel it so oppressively, he will only ever faithfully wait for My support, and this is certain for him. Where My word resounds My love and grace will be evident, and the connection from earth to the spiritual world is obvious, the connection with the kingdom which is Mine and which is therefore also everlasting. And the certainty that the person who receives My word is also an aspirant of this kingdom gives him inner peace …. he only lives for this world, and he only pays attention to the earthly world as far as his stay on earth still requires it. And thus he consciously strives towards the aim I have set for him, he has found the right path, the path to the eternal home …. And he will constantly strive to guide his fellow human beings onto the same path, to instruct them and convey My word to them which informs them of Me and My love, of My will and My eternal plan of salvation, so that they, too, will learn to love Me and strive towards Me, so that I will also be able to lower the peace into their hearts which is triggered by a heartfelt bond with Me. My word has to be conveyed to people if they want to become conquerors of the enemy of their souls already on earth, for without My word they lack strength, they lack knowledge and therefore also the right love for Me …. Only when I can speak to people, directly or indirectly, mentally or by transmitting My word …. only when they open their hearts and listen to My voice do they enter into contact with Me and can now also receive strength directly, for then they cover their earthly path in conscious striving to reach the aim. Then the spiritual kingdom alone is desirable to them and they despise the world. And therefore My word must find entrance with people, and the proclaimers of My word must be constantly active, they must constantly serve Me by passing on the word received from Me and proclaim My will wherever they have access. For time is hurrying, the earthly world is approaching its dissolution and the spiritual kingdom is approaching people ever more urgently …. the true home, which is the final aim of every earthly human being. Yet without My word they will never reach it, without My word they cannot find the path, they don’t know Me and have no guide, they blindly go their way and walk astray. My word is the signpost, My word is My constant call, and whoever hears this call and complies with it I will draw him to Me with all My strength, he will not go astray, he will recognize Me at the end of the path and the love of his heart will drive him; he will long for Me and I will draw close to him …. And My nearness will make him blissful for all eternity ….

Amen

He who feels weak, let him come to Me …. I will strengthen him …. And I will come close to anyone who believes himself to be abandoned and be his companion on all his paths through life. Yet he has to acknowledge Me, otherwise I cannot assist him because I respect the human being’s free will. My aim is the unification of the apostate spiritual being with Me, but this must take place voluntarily. And therefore you must call for Me, you must desire My nearness yourselves and want to be guided by Me. And anyone who has the will turned towards Me within himself will never be abandoned by Me, because his striving is aimed at uniting with Me. But never ever shall you, who acknowledge Me, be despondent, never ever shall weakness of faith cause you to become discouraged, but a heartfelt thought, a brief appeal for strength and grace will always suffice and My love will not deny itself to you …. My strength flows to you and My hand guides you safely towards the aim …. And even if the path seems difficult for you, every step will be right by My hand, and you can cover the path without worry, for it is the right one if you have Me as your companion, and your will, your desire for Me, will earn you My guidance. In firm faith in this every weakness will fall away from you and you will walk safely and carefree through earthly life, for I can be close to you because you long for Me. And I am with everyone who deeply desires Me, and the more his love is for Me the more palpable I am. And therefore you humans can make earthly life easier for yourselves, for My nearness signifies strength, and anyone who is permeated by My strength masters life at all times, for he works and creates with Me, for Whom nothing is impossible ….

Amen

My sun of grace constantly shines and spreads a bright light. And even if you think you are in the shadow you are nevertheless unable to withdraw from the ray of light which touches you if only you direct your gaze towards Me. You are only not allowed to look down or My grace will become ineffective on you. And therefore only one thing is necessary that you carry Me in your heart, that your thoughts and aspirations are meant for Me, that you strive towards Me and long for Me; then My grace will come upon you in all abundance and you will feel this spiritually and physically, that you are flooded by strength, that all weakness falls away from you and your striving is successful …. For what belongs to Me, what is My share from eternity, will also be eternally nourished by Me with My strength of love. I will never turn away from what is Mine, I will always try to draw it into the realm of My sun of grace so that it will also recognize its belonging to Me, just as it once turned away from Me of its own accord. And if it feels that it belongs to Me it will step out of the shadow into the light of My sun of grace, i.e. it will always and constantly feel My help, My strength and My love …. And then it is saved for eternity, for to feel Me means to have recognized Me, and the recognition of Myself also results in the desire for unification, and this always signifies striving for perfection, I leave nothing without help which desires My help, because My love is unchanging towards that which I have created, and all help is grace, a gift which is handed out undeservedly, which need not be acquired, it should only be gratefully received because it is offered by Me in love. And thus there is no human being who remains helpless if he calls upon Me for grace …. there is no human being who has to walk in darkness if he desires the light of My sun of grace. For I fulfil every desire for grace, every desire for it already carries fulfilment within itself, because then grace can take effect on the human being if he desires it …. because grace is available to the human being without restriction who thus wants to use it. Look upwards, call upon Me in thought and you will always be strengthened and lose all weakness, you will always feel the rays of My sun of grace beneficially and no longer walk in darkness. You only have to recognize your affiliation to Me and express it through heartfelt prayer, and My love will take hold of you and never leave you in the night again if you want to escape it ….

Amen

As soon as the human being turns to Me in unshakable faith in his adversity it will be remedied. And thus you will never be helpless and abandoned, for you need not fear anything, for you yourselves can banish every disaster at any time by virtue of your faith. But only when you have unshakeable, profound faith will you also have the strength of faith, and you must try to gain it and struggle and pray for it without ceasing. For it is necessary in the coming time when you have to confess Me and My teaching. If you are deeply permeated by faith in Me and My love, in My might and wisdom, you will not hesitate for a second to confess Me, for you trust in My help which will truly be granted to you. Again and again I will help you so that your faith will become strong, and again and again you will be able to feel My saving and guiding hand if you pay attention, if you remain intimately united with Me through prayer and constantly practice love. Your fate may seem hard to you …. but it is necessary and successful for your souls as long as you strive to live in My pleasure. Every day and every hour, every experience, adversity and suffering, can help you achieve maturity of soul if you look at it from a spiritual point of view and always remember that My love and wisdom has determined it for you for the best of your souls. And in this awareness you will devotedly submit yourselves to My will and thereby make it possible for Me to guide and look after you without finding resistance. Thus always take your cross upon yourselves, which truly only My love burdens you with …. But also believe at all times that I will help you carry it, that you have the strength to persevere and that I am always ready to help you if it seems unbearable to you …. Strong faith can do everything. Therefore, wrestle and pray that you lose the weakness of your faith so that I can always consider you according to your faith ….

Amen

Good and bad forces fight for the human being’s soul and both are given great power by God, for both the beings of light are permeated by strength as well as the beings which are turned away from God, because the latter draw their strength from God’s adversary to whom it was unlimitedly at his disposal as an originally created spiritual being and it is not diminished by God either. But the beings of light can win the victory if the human being abandons himself to them by turning his will towards God and thus not opposing the light beings’ activity. The human being himself must establish the predominance through his will …. As soon as the will leans towards evil it increases its strength, and his soul is subject to the activity of God’s adversary. But the human being is never defencelessly at the mercy of the evil forces but the beings of light are constantly ready to wrestle for his soul, the beings of light constantly oppose them with their strength and constantly try to direct the human being’s will towards God in order to gain the upper hand and thereby defeat the evil forces. But the fact that the latter were granted the right to oppress the souls is necessary for the redemption of the fallen and therefore bound spiritual because otherwise it could not use free will, in which alone redemption can take place. And now both forces try to win the human being’s will for themselves, both try to exert their influence on the soul but in different directions …. The beings of light are permeated by God’s will, and their endeavour is to transfer divine will to people, i.e., to direct the human being’s thinking such that it fully adapts to divine order, that the human will fully subordinates itself to divine will …. In the same way the bad forces strive towards their aim …. they direct the human being’s thoughts towards earthly things, towards the increase of earthly goods, and thereby they seek to unleash earthly instincts in the human being which are contrary to God, i.e. which lack all love for God and neighbour, whereas they are only born in self-love, which always drag the human being down into the realm of God’s adversary ….

And the battle of light against darkness will take on forms which point to the near end, for evil gains power over people who do not request strength from God and are only able to resist through it in order to emerge as victors at the end of days. There will be deepest darkness in the hearts of those, for the lord of darkness seeks to extinguish all light, and he will succeed because the world shuns the light but the light alone can only bring in the strength to resist. For God Himself is the light, God Himself is the truth, and only where there is truth does the light shine and break through the darkness of night. From God alone comes the strength, and every person receives it who receives the truth from God in desire for it. But in order to make people powerless and inclined towards his desires, God’s adversary seeks to suppress the truth and to ensnare people in lies and the worst kind of error …. And people do not resist because the lie is more appealing to them, because it is of a worldly spirit and man only lives for the world but not for the spiritual kingdom …. And thus the majority of people will stand outside of it, and only a small part will seek the kingdom of God and request strength from God Himself for the last difficult test on earth. Light and darkness fight against each other in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth, light has a beneficial influence where people’s hearts are open to it, but darkness destroys everything and creates an unnameable chaos, it darkens all paths and leads far away from the aim towards the kingdom of the one who rules over darkness, who is full of lies and unkindness and who therefore has his kingdom as God’s antipole in the deepest depths where there is only wretchedness, torment and depravity …. Humanity is drifting towards darkness because it does not accept the light which illuminates the world like a ray of lightning and sends its sparks everywhere so that they may find nourishment and flare up again as light …. Humanity turns away from brightness because the spiritual kingdom no longer means anything to it, because its spiritual knowledge, the pure truth from God, does not appear desirable, because the souls are no longer able to feel the influence from the kingdom of light, yet they have completely fallen prey to the forces of darkness. And the time of the end has come …. the forces of darkness will be banished and with them everything that was in bondage to them …. And the light will shine …. lies and error will be displaced by truth, for only God will reign and live in the hearts of people who, as bearers of light, have emerged victorious from the battle of light against darkness ….

Amen

The fact that a turnaround will occur in a short time is My will, which is decisive in the entire universe. My plan has been determined since eternity, for I have known since eternity about the spiritual state of the people of this earth in the last days before the end. And My plan is now inexorably unfolding, which is considered in all wisdom and guided by My love. I foresaw humanity’s complete decline, I saw its striving away from Me and its instinctiveness towards My adversary. And therefore I put an end to humanity which fully consciously wants to distance itself from Me and turn towards My adversary. And now the time has come and My love takes the last resort to point people to the end, to still pull them back in the last hour from the abyss towards which they are striving. I try to win them over through love and suffering, I gently admonish them, and where these gentle admonitions are of no avail I try to influence people through suffering because they last Me and I want to prevent their complete downfall. Yet there is little success to be recorded and time is approaching its final end …. And thus a redemption period comes to an end, the conclusion of which signifies a complete dissolution of that which is visible to the human eye …. a passing away of the earth in its outer form and of all living beings on the earth’s surface …. But before that I once again point to the last event by allowing local changes to take place on a large scale in order to make the last end visible to people, and I grant them another time of grace which they can use for change if they allow themselves to be impressed by that event which is to clearly prove My might to them. I want to reveal Myself to people once more, admittedly in the most painful way, yet only such a means can still be successful ….

I want to show people that they are not only exposed to human will which has a destructive and devastating effect but that they have to fear the will of a higher power which no one can stop. Through this I want to direct their mind to this higher power so that they will enter into contact with it through prayer. I want them to call upon Me in adversity in order to make My presence perceptible to them through My help, in order to persuade them to believe in Me …. If this last resort fails there will be no more salvation for people’s souls on this earth and they will inevitably have to take the path through creation again, from which My love would like to protect them …. And thus this last resort, although it appears cruel, is a work of My love and mercy which, however, will only be recognized as such by a few. I have to plunge humanity into greater suffering because the suffering before does not bring about a change of will; I have to burden them further, I have to let them get into living conditions which hardly seem bearable in order to induce them to call upon the one Who can and wants to help them carry them but Who also wants to be acknowledged in order to approach people with help. And therefore know that I will express Myself powerfully and mightily, know that nothing can stop My intervention anymore, for only the will of people turned towards Me is able to do so, but this will is further away from Me than ever. And because My adversary seeks to increase his power and finds no resistance from people I will obviously show Myself and speak from above with a brazen voice so that it will not be difficult for anyone who is willing to recognize Me …. And whoever calls upon Me will be helped in spiritual as well as physical adversity ….

Amen

And this is My commandment that you love one another …. Whose spirit is awakened should set a good example, he should practice love towards his fellow human being himself, because only through this can he prove his love for Me and I can work in him. For My spirit can only express itself where there is love, otherwise the voice of the spirit will sound silently and thus go unheard. Whose spirit is awakened therefore also has the duty to pass on My gift with love, he must be constantly active and contribute to the spreading of what he himself hears through the voice of the spirit. For this is practicing love for the soul of a fellow human being who is in particularly great need and urgently requires help. Giving love in order to receive love is a constant cycle in the spiritual kingdom, thus also on earth for My servants who are willing to work for My kingdom. In offering My word the human being acts in accordance with My commandment of love, for then he distributes what is absolutely necessary for the attainment of maturity of soul …. he gives what he has received himself, what My love offers him as often as he desires it. But spiritual hardship is worse than earthly hardship, and people urgently need help which, however, can only be brought to them by fellow human beings as long as they don’t find the path to Me themselves. But those who walk the right path to Me should not carelessly pass by the erring or seeking souls. They shall call out along the path that they are heading towards the right aim, and they shall call upon the wayfarers to join them; they shall present Me to them as the aim towards which all people shall strive …. And they shall try to convey My word to them. This is a labour of love for the souls who must be offered spiritual nourishment if they are to reach their aim on earth. For the need is great …. people not only suffer earthly hardship but also spiritual hardship. Yet the spiritual hardship is not taken into account but increased concern for the body and its needs completely distract them from the care for their souls. And only through the mouths of men can they be informed of their task in life, only through the mouths of men can My will be made known to them and they be taught love, for I Myself am too far away from them for them to be able to hear Me. And therefore you should practice love on them and be mediators through whom I speak to them so that they will hear My word but can decide of their own free will whether they want to accept it as My word. But help must be brought to them in some form, for their spiritual hardship grows worse every day, despite suffering and tribulation, which they would have to go through and could remedy their hardship. Therefore practice love towards your neighbour by coming to the aid of his soul …. Recognize the adversity and try to control it through constant instructions and indications of the near end. Take every opportunity to speak of My love, which also expresses itself in great suffering, because the latter is intended to lead people to Me, because I long for My living creations which emerged from Me, from My strength of love, which will never diminish and wants to be united with what I have created. But only love achieves unification …. And therefore love should constantly be practiced wherever the opportunity presents itself to you, so that the spiritual hardship will be reduced first and I can then also remove people’s earthly hardship. But without love no-one can become blissfully happy, without love there is no spiritual progress, and without love there is no approach to Me. This is why the commandment of love is the only and greatest, and My word constantly only teaches love for the neighbour, through which love for Me is also proven ….

Amen

Innumerable worlds exist in God’s creation, the purpose of which is the upward development of the spiritual, which is to find its way back to God. And innumerable worlds are therefore carriers of this spiritual, which is partly materially bound and partly inhabits these worlds in spiritual bonds according to its state of maturity. It is not only earthly material creations which have the task of carrying spiritual substances, but since there are different degrees of development the spiritual substance does not always need matter but can also continue its ascent development in spiritual creations as soon as it has passed through earthly matter. But even then the spiritual still has to fulfil tasks which require some kind of creations which present themselves to the spiritual eye and are incomparable in their versatility, kind and purpose. The spiritual can test itself on all these works of creation, it can let its will to love become action according to its abundance of strength and light. The spiritual creations are only visible to the spiritual eye when the being has reached a certain degree of maturity. Before that it is in worlds …. if it has left the earth immature …. in which it cannot recognize any creations because it is completely dark around the being. Thus the miracles of creation also increase with the state of maturity, so that the being can repeatedly observe new creations throughout eternities and recognize God’s infinite love in them. The spiritual creations are much richer and completely inconceivable to the human eye. They constantly give evidence of God’s creative will, of His love, which constantly seeks to make His creatures happy, and of His unsurpassable wisdom. They are also indestructible but changeable in themselves, because the spiritual does not rest but is constantly active and spiritual creations are again the expression of strength of perfect beings of light who constantly create and create in order to give the still undeveloped or lowly mature spiritual possibilities to progress in development. Completely immature spiritual beings need material creations; but from a certain degree of maturity these are no longer necessary but are replaced by spiritual creations which, however, likewise give the being the opportunity to attain brightest light. The further away the being is from God, the harder is the cover by which it is surrounded, and the more material is also the creation to which it is assigned as inhabitant. If the being has left earth in the same God-distant state, then it still feels surrounded by the same material creation, although the spiritual kingdom has now become its abode.

(23.7.1945) These creations stand before its spiritual eye because the desire for them is still so great that the soul creates material things for itself in thought and now believes to move in them. Hence they are not spiritual creations which came into being through the will of God and the beings of light, but they are foam formations which the soul imagines for itself through its will, which it therefore does not actually see with its spiritual eye but only lets arise before its senses in the memory of earth. It will also never be able to enjoy these creations because they always disappear as soon as they want to be used by the being, so that the soul very soon recognizes the transience of its creations, which is their purpose. The spiritual creations, on the other hand, are imperishable, only in constant change, i.e., they arise ever more perfect before the being’s spiritual eye the further it rises in perfection. Again and again it is allowed to behold new structures which bear witness to God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence in unimagined glory and yet also stimulate loving activity again, because all these spiritual worlds harbour beings which develop higher through the transfer of strength and therefore strive towards the beholding being of light, attracted by the abundance of light which radiates from those beings. Material worlds are mostly without light and require increased care by the beings of light, yet the care for the inhabitants of material worlds is an act of mercy by the beings of light in which happiness also lies at the same time, because love constantly impels them to be mercifully active. Spiritual worlds themselves radiate light because their inhabitants are recipients of light in various degrees of maturity. And that is why the spiritual worlds are in contact with the material worlds; they emit their light to the places of darkness according to the inhabitants’ willingness to receive, which can see the spiritual worlds as luminous celestial bodies which circle the lightless celestial body in certain orbits. But the radiation of light only happens spiritually and is therefore only felt by the inhabitants of the material world who long for light and shape themselves as receptacles through their way of life. Only in the spiritual kingdom is the radiation of light visible to the being which is able to see spiritually through its maturity of soul. And thus countless creations have emerged from God’s will to shape, which His infinite love let come into being in order to lead the imperfect spiritual into perfection and to make the perfect spiritual happy. And His power and glory is expressed in all His works of creation. However, it only becomes recognizable in all its greatness to the being which, in the spheres of light, enjoys the bliss of dwelling close to God and being constantly permeated by His strength of love …. For this is bliss, to feel God’s strength and power, to be seized by His love and to be allowed to be active in the same will with God for all eternity ….

Amen

Pay attention to the signs which increase and announce the near end and you will recognize in which phase of the end time you stand. Don’t let earthly events cloud your spiritual vision but relate them to the spiritual low which characterizes people’s behaviour in the last days …. People’s unkind behaviour towards each other betrays that low which is the direct cause for a period of redemption to come to an end. But at the same time people’s spiritual low reveals deepest darkness in them, complete turning away from God, from spiritual striving and therefore also ignorance that they live in the last days, that the end is not far away. But you who strive and try to fulfil divine will, you who live a spiritual life next to the earthly one, you should pay attention to the signs and prepare yourselves for the end. And you will daily penetrate spiritual knowledge more deeply, you will grow in realization and the correlations between the events of time and God’s eternal plan of salvation will become clear to you. You will also recognize God’s activity in earthly events, Who uses everything, even the greatest suffering, as a remedy so that it can still be a blessing for the individual. God has always and constantly mentioned this time, He has pointed out the time of the end to people and foretold the signs to them through seers and prophets, not in order to predetermine the earthly course of world events but in order to illustrate to people the spiritual adversity which is also the cause of earthly suffering, chaos and worldly decay. The spiritual adversity is to be recognized and controlled. But the spiritual adversity is to be recognized by the signs of the times. And therefore you should pay attention to these signs and know that you should now devote all your care to your own and your fellow human beings’ souls …. For they are in greatest danger. In the last days the soul will have to suffer due to excessive concern for the body, indeed, it will be completely pushed away from spiritual striving and from God Himself by God-opposing forces. And in this time of spiritual hardship God’s adversary has great power over the souls, but the will of people themselves can break it. And that is why the time of the end is constantly pointed out, signs are mentioned so that the human being’s will will be spurred into resistance, so that the human being will recognize the danger the soul is in and so that he will learn to believe that God has put an end to the earth as soon as this spiritual low has come, which demonstrates complete affiliation with God’s adversary. Pay attention to the signs which announce the near end and don’t pass by indifferently but prepare yourselves, for the end will be dreadful for all those who don’t listen to God’s admonitions and warnings and are heading towards their spiritual and physical downfall.

Amen

An inconceivable indifference towards all things spiritual has taken hold of people and a state has arisen where it is difficult for God’s servants to find a hearing in order to spread the word of God. People are completely taken captive by their concern for earthly life and all contact with the spiritual world through thoughts which apply to God or their souls has ceased, so that it is also impossible for the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom to have a mental effect on people. And thus they distance themselves ever more from the actual aim, they become more materialistic than ever and are on the path to complete spiritual standstill with the danger of decline until the near end. People’s will is weakened and they do not resort to the only means to strengthen it through invocation of Jesus Christ, through heartfelt prayer for strength and power. A thought coming from the heart to the divine redeemer, a supplication for help spiritually and earthly, would earn people the increased will. Yet they do not acknowledge Jesus Christ or they are indifferent towards the redemption problem if they do not reject Him directly. And therefore they also lack all strength for spiritual striving because they lack the serious will for it. But if the word of God is to become effective in them then the human being’s will must have become active first, and thus the human being must pay attention to the one who imparts the word of God to him. God’s servants, however, are more likely to encounter resistance if they want to make themselves heard …. They are listened to unwillingly, ridiculed or brusquely rejected …. There is no field for the lord’s labourers, and the seed falls on stony ground. Human admonitions and warnings are of no avail, the word of God proclaimed by the mouth of man is not accepted. And thus God has to express Himself and speak with a voice which the human ear has to hear even against its will …. People’s rejection requires this if God does not want them to perish and sink into complete spiritual night. They no longer voluntarily accept spiritual indications, and thus they must forcibly send their thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, even though it is still left to their will whether they want to dwell in it or escape from it as soon as God has spoken. The fact that God will express Himself has been determined since eternity, so that people will still be offered a last opportunity to awaken from their apathy and to direct their thoughts upwards, because God’s intervention is too obvious …. because His voice will sound mightily, because He will express Himself through the forces of nature and people will experience a spectacle full of horror which will make God’s power recognizable to them, if they are not completely obdurate and in bondage to God’s adversary. For God, in His love, uses all means to still win people’s souls before the end, yet He does not curtail the freedom of will. And anyone who remembers the divine redeemer in the hours of earthly adversity and despair, who approaches Him in supplication, will receive the strength to believe, and the divine intervention will not pass him by without leaving a trace, he will recognize God by it and change His will. He will not lack the strength to carry out what he vowed to God in hours of utmost adversity …. he will be faithful to Him from hour to hour …. And blessed is he who recognizes God before it is too late. He is still granted a short time of grace which he can use until the end, for this is near ….

Amen

People on earth are assisted by spiritual guides, partly embodied among them as people themselves, partly spiritually influencing them; thus no human being is completely left to himself during his earthly life. These spiritual guides are constantly in action as soon as the human being is in distress of the soul and does not stubbornly resist their help. I.e., the human being must want to be helped, he must feel his adversity and strive to come out of it, thus he must feel his spiritual state to be deficient and desire to improve it, then the spiritual guides will be willing and also entitled by God to assist him. People are given help in the form of enlightenment about the purpose of earthly life and their earthly task. For the knowledge of this must first be presented to people so that they can then fulfil their earthly task. People have to be entrusted to spiritual guidance because they are completely blind in their lack of knowledge and would never find the right path on their own. A guide will therefore always be with them from God, but they themselves will be unaware of which kingdom is their home. Even the spiritual guides living among them as human beings are not recognized as such because otherwise a certain compulsion of faith would be exerted which would be an obstacle to spiritual development. Nevertheless, every teacher on earth must be an emissary of God, otherwise his teaching could be doubted …. Yet God’s opposing power also seeks to gain influence over people, and this influence will always contradict the pure truth from God. Therefore it is always important to check whose share that is which people try to present to their fellow human beings as truth. The right spiritual guidance can always be recognized by the fact that it tries to distract people’s thoughts from earthly things and wants to turn them towards the spiritual kingdom. Spiritual guidance seeks to influence people mentally, it seeks to encourage loving activity, it seeks to dissuade people from material striving, and it places the loving, wise and omnipotent deity in the foreground. Spiritual guidance takes little interest in earthly life but constantly directs the thoughts towards the spiritual kingdom. And as soon as a person strives towards this aim, as soon as he tries to introduce his fellow human being into the spiritual kingdom, he is given to people by God as a guide and well suited to assist them in spiritual adversity. For he merely prepares the field so that the spiritual invisible guides can scatter their seed and through mental transmission introduce the human being to spiritual knowledge, so that they can stimulate him into loving activity and thus exercise their office as guides and look after the souls entrusted to their care. However, if people are of a worldly mind they will not listen to the spiritual guides …. neither fellow human beings will be able to instruct them nor will spiritual forces have any influence on them, for the voice of the world drowns out the subtle voices from the spiritual kingdom. And as long as the human being is still captivated by matter he lacks all understanding for spiritual gifts …. Then it is difficult to win their soul, they withdraw from the care of their spiritual guardians, they don’t pay attention to their thoughts and are not loving and willing to love. On the other hand, they listen to those who allow themselves to be used by God as an instrument of the adversary in order to convey error to people. For error is acceptable to them because it is compatible with their desires and lusts, with their worldly senses …. Their knowledge, however, is ignorance, it lacks all truth, it is the work of men and human thoughts which mislead their fellow human beings and cloud their power of realization …. Truth only comes from the spiritual kingdom and only spiritual guides sent by God convey it. Their work, however, depends on the will of the people themselves ….

Amen

All that the world offers are illusory goods that are without any value and without permanence. They are only given to the human being to test his will, who should turn away from them in order to strive for spiritual goods which are of lasting value and imperishable. The person who lives in love very quickly learns to recognize the worthlessness of earthly goods, whereas a person who lacks love for his neighbour has an increased desire for it, thus his love is wrongly directed and strives for what it should overcome. Until he fights this love, spiritual good is not desirable to him. At the end of his life, however, he must separate himself from all earthly things, and this separation will be difficult or easy for him, depending on his attitude towards the pseudo-goods of the world. To have overcome these means an easy detachment from earth; but the human being who has lost his heart to matter, to dead goods without value and continuance, is held back to earth as if by chains. His soul cannot detach itself and it means a difficult battle for it in which it is defeated as soon as the end has come. And now it enters the spiritual kingdom completely poor and naked, which only offers it what the soul desired on earth …. again sham goods, although they are no longer material, yet they constantly oppress it as foam formations by increasing the desire for them, while the soul is denied fulfilment so that it shall recognize the worthlessness of what it aspired to on earth. But the soul does not possess spiritual goods since it has not collected any on earth. And its fate is not very enviable …. Nowhere does it find what it is looking for, and poor and meagre it now dwells in desolate surroundings. She cannot hand out anything since she has nothing herself and therefore cannot receive anything either, because it is the law in the spiritual kingdom that every soul is considered according to its will to love, that only those who give receive, and receiving as well as giving is blissful. It is indeed also offered spiritual gifts by loving souls in order to help it, yet a soul which has not yet overcome earthly matter and constantly desires its possession will not accept spiritual gifts because it does not yet recognize their value and desires them just as little as on earth. It must first have killed its own desire, it must have recognized its worthlessness and now strive for constant goods, only then will it pay attention to these if they are offered to it, and only then will it seek to collect spiritual treasures. Whoever already achieves this on earth enters the beyond carefree, and the spiritual goods he has acquired on earth he takes with him into the spiritual kingdom. And since he now has treasures at his disposal he can also work with them, he can distribute and constantly receive new treasures for his own happiness, for love impels him to use what he possesses …. he distributes and makes the souls happy which are needy but want to receive in order to be able to give again. The treasures of the world are so worthless and yet people desire them and strive for them with all eagerness. But they pay no attention to the spiritual treasures and therefore they also fear the physical end because they only think of the body but not of the soul. And God comes to their aid by showing them the transience of earthly goods in order to make them think. He also gives them spiritual gifts and tries to persuade them to accept them, yet He does not force free will but leaves the human being free to decide for the goods of this world or the gifts from the spiritual kingdom …. However, the end and the entrance into the spiritual kingdom will be according to their decision of will, for the soul creates its own fate according to its desire ….

Amen

Pay attention to My words: Anyone who desires to hear Me consciously strives towards Me and My fatherly hand lovingly draws him up to Me. For the love in him has become active which drives him towards Me, and thus the spell has been broken which held the being captive for a long time; it has entered the circuit of My love from spiritual darkness and now inevitably finds the path to ascent. Whoever desires to hear Me, be it through desire for My voice which resounds in his heart or desire for My word which he wants to receive from the book of books, be it through communication through human mouths which proclaim My word …. he has already proven his affiliation to Me through his desire, and I will remember him from that time on, and I will lovingly take care of his soul so that it will no longer sink back into the night of death but live forever. And I will also send him strength through My word at any time, he will always be strengthened, regardless of how he accepts My word. And anyone who converses with Me in his desire to be united with Me will be guided by Me if he is unable to hear My voice. I order them and guide them through My spirit, which can now work in him. And thus every thought turned towards Me will result in rich blessings, for My love takes hold of anyone who approaches Me in thought and deed. No-one will sink into the abyss whose heart has found Me, whose will seeks Me and who makes contact with Me through loving actions, good thoughts and heartfelt prayer. He will also listen to My word in whatever form it is offered to him. And in it he recognizes the father’s voice from eternity, and thus he is saved for all eternity. The desire for My word testifies to the desire for Me Myself, Who is the word, the truth, and eternal life …. Anyone who desires My word also desires the truth and seeks to escape darkness and thus spiritual death. He finds the path to life which is shown to him in the word …. For this teaches love …. But love redeems everything that is unfree and enslaved and makes it free and happy. And this is why I gave you My word, because I want to make you free and happy, and the aim will only be reached by the one who hears My word and follows it …. who lives in love as I command through My word. But only a person who is willing and able to love will desire My word. He respects My word, he seeks to live it out, he strives to fulfil My will because his heart’s love is for Me and he wants to live for My pleasure as long as he dwells on earth. Anyone who desires My word feels like My child which wants to be united with the father forever. For anyone whose mind is turned away from Me will not listen to My word, he will flee it and remain without strength in order to reach the aim of his life. But without My word no-one can become blessed, without My word he is powerless to mature spiritually, and without My word he is far from My love which expresses itself in the word. I Myself am the word, and I will only be where I am desired in the deepest heart. For My presence would be a coercion for the human being who does not desire My nearness, because My presence signifies emanation of love which would then seize the human being against his will and lead him to perfection. But I do not touch the human being’s free will and can therefore only bestow My strength of love upon those people who sincerely desire it in their longing for Me. And therefore reading or listening to My word is useless without an inner heart instinct, it gives the human being nothing, it imparts no strength, no realization and no spiritual success to him …. With My word I Myself want to be desired by a loving heart which pushes towards Me …. I pay attention to the slightest call, I satisfy the smallest desire, and I kindle the tiniest spark of love into greater fervour so that My living creation will feel My love once it has longed for Me in its heart. And I let My word resound wherever a faint thought of Me has arisen in order to make Me recognizable and to stir up love for Me. And anyone who once received My word in desire for Me and drew strength from it will stay with My word forever, for again and again I will meet him in the word and his desire will increase until he can no longer live without My word and establishes the heartfelt bond with Me, which constantly provides him with strength and light and ensures his eternal life. Anyone who desires My word desires Me Myself, and I will be with him in the word until the end of the world and for eternity ….

Amen

The inclination towards the world reduces the influx of spiritual goods, and therefore worldly-minded people will come into less contact with donors of spiritual gifts, they will be too distant from the spiritual kingdom and not recognize its emissaries if they approach it. For God brings people together, He brings His servants on earth to those who are willing to accept the word of God, who come into question as aspirants of the spiritual kingdom through their will which is not completely turned away and turned towards the world. They are by no means forced to accept the divine word but they must recognize the spiritual gifts as such and open themselves to them voluntarily. As despisers of the world they also recognize the value of divine revelations and open their hearts to them. The worldly person, on the other hand, will also have the opportunity to take notice of them, yet his senses feel nothing of the divine breath which touches him, and indifferently or abruptly he rejects them because the world seems to offer him more valuable things. And thus valuable gifts remain unnoticed on earth which make up his soul’s entire wealth in the beyond, for only the spiritual eye and ear sees and hears something, but these are completely undeveloped in worldly people, and in the beyond this ignorance takes effect as complete darkness which means an agonizing fate for the soul. Spiritually striving people have a sensitive eye and ear for spiritual gifts, they sense the origin, for the divine-spiritual touches their souls beneficially, and therefore God’s servants are recognized by them as emissaries of the spiritual kingdom and their gifts are gratefully received. Nevertheless, the representatives of the divine word should also carry it out into the world, they should again and again try to win over worldly people as well, even though this is work which requires patience and love because they are often rejected and have little success. But the world does not always completely satisfy people, and every person comes into situations where he is receptive for a communication from the spiritual kingdom. And these opportunities should be taken advantage of so that they will still decide to change their will in times of earthly adversity. For this approaches all people because God does not leave any of His living creations to their fate but again and again tries to gain influence over their souls. The slightest stirring of the will and thoughts turned towards the spiritual kingdom also increase the opportunities to receive spiritual communication, for God takes care of them and considers everyone according to his desire. But the world has to be overcome in order to fully appreciate the value of spiritual gifts. Everything spiritual wants to be grasped by the spirit in the human being, but the spirit slumbers where the world still holds the human being captive …. The release of the spirit, its awakening, requires surrender of what is worldly earthly and desire for the spiritual kingdom, the actual home of the spirit. And that is why he who desires to approach the kingdom of God must learn to despise the world ….

Amen

The deepest darkness has to give way to bright light if the soul has a desire for it, on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom, for the desire for it is always decisive as to how the soul is considered. And thus the human being on earth will also create the degree of light for himself which corresponds to his desire. And indeed, he will be able to mentally accept truth or error but only recognize both as what they are when he strives for truth. But to recognize truth as truth, error as error, means to be fully convinced that he thinks right or wrong. And yet he will have no proof of this that is valid for the world, but he will believe it ….. Consequently, faith is acquired through his own merit because he had the will to stand in truth, to recognize truth as such. And thus the human being can believe if he wants to …. and it is not a gift, a grace, to be able to believe because faith always presupposes the will, the desire for truth. This applies to faith which has the right value before God, which God demands of people …. faith in Him as a supremely perfect being full of love, power and wisdom. God only requires this faith because it is the prerequisite for a way of life on earth which corresponds to divine will, and because it results in everything else the soul needs for its ascent development. For anyone who calls this faith his own will always and constantly consult the eternal deity, he will mentally unite with It and consciously strive towards the most perfect being …. in the realization of his own inadequacy he will appeal to God for advice and help, he will gratefully accept the blessings offered to him with love and thus fulfil his purpose of earthly life. But every human being can acquire convinced faith in God as an exceedingly loving, wise and omnipotent being if he begins to think about his purpose of earthly life completely uninfluenced, always with the will to recognize what is right. He need only pay attention to everything that happens around him and follow his own fate in life; then he will always be able to recognize God’s love, if he does not use earthly well-being as a standard. Creation will continue to prove God’s wisdom and omnipotence to him, always provided that he seeks the truth, that he desires clarification not only with his intellect but with his heart, i.e. that he does not seek to fathom the truth scholastically but that it is his innermost heart’s urge to fathom his purpose of earthly life …. For intellectual thinking does not guarantee the pure truth, because God …. the truth Himself …. keeps Himself hidden from those who are not driven by their innermost desire for Him …. For this reason the simple-minded person will also be able to believe more easily than many a person with a keen intellect, because the latter ponders and investigates where a heartfelt questioning thought of the eternal creator is appropriate in order to receive truthful enlightenment. The former seeks to reach the aim alone, but the latter consciously or unconsciously turns to God for enlightenment and will understandably be rightly successful. To be able to believe is not reserved for any human being, and even the keenly thinking intellectual man is able to believe childishly as soon as he does not submit spiritual questions to his intellect for an answer, because they can only be answered by the heart. And even the greatest scientist can face the father of eternity like a child if he allows himself to be impressed by the wonders of creation which his intellect alone cannot fathom but which find their explanation in profound faith in an omnipotent, wise and loving deity. He who is unable to believe exalts himself, for humility of heart enables him to find profound faith; arrogance, however, is an obstacle that does not allow faith to arise. But whether the human being is humble or arrogant depends solely on his will, which can bend or remain in opposition to the being Which created him and thus also wants to be acknowledged by him. And thus faith is also an act of free will, it will never be conveyed to a person as a gift of grace but he has to acquire it himself, which he is also enabled to do by God if he uses the gift of intellect in the right way, if he desires the truth and unresistingly surrenders himself to the thoughts which come to him, as soon as he sincerely desires light ….

Amen

God’s activity is recognizable wherever spiritual strivers come together in the will to serve God. For they are guided as if by an invisible hand along paths that are often stony and thorny, yet lead to the right aim. God Himself is with those who want to serve Him, and each one’s life is marked out. And whoever is attentive always recognizes the hand of God. He feels grasped by it and does not resist it but willingly follows wherever God’s love draws him. And thus the servants on earth who approach Him will recognize God again and again in every event, in suffering and joy, and they will achieve spiritual progress because the deeper they penetrate the knowledge of His love, omnipotence and wisdom, the more intimately they unite with God. And their life is only slightly earthly, it is filled with divine spiritual activity, because their thoughts, speeches and actions are the expression of it, thus God Himself becomes visibly apparent where people are willing to serve Him. Although they also have to live their earthly life it is no longer felt as difficult, and even sorrowful events remain without a deeper impression because God is also recognized in them and trust in Him and His support makes everything easier for people to bear. And God does not disappoint this trust, through His spirit He gives people advice and help, again and again He directs events towards a good outcome, and thus He always and constantly reveals Himself to those who want to live with Him and for Him. Anyone who opens his eyes will see Him; anyone who opens his ears will hear Him, and anyone who prepares his heart to receive Him will also feel Him in close proximity …. God works everywhere, the more recognizable the more attention people pay to Him. And those who want to serve Him seek Him at all times …. And thus He also lets Himself be found, He makes Himself known to His own, He is constantly with them with His love and grace. To strive towards God means to fully consciously strive to fulfil the earthly task, and God rewards this will by coming to meet people Himself who want to reach Him. And wherever He is He will also make Himself known, He will reveal Himself, and His reign and activity will become apparent wherever people offer to work for His kingdom ….

Amen

The beginning and the end of a redemption period are so far apart that an eternity can be spoken of by people who keep both points in time in mind. It is an infinitely long period of time because the development of God’s individual works of creation requires a certain amount of time, since everything is based on God’s laws and even the slow development is again a provision of divine love and wisdom in order to also guarantee this upward development to the spiritual which is sheltered in it. Since the beginning of creation these laws have been the basis of all visible works of creation, for the spiritual which had fallen away from God stood in such stubborn resistance to God that it had to start its course through the works of creation completely deprived of its will and thus completely without will, i.e. bound will. And this could only happen in such a way that they were forced to adapt themselves to divine laws which, however, completely contradicted the will of the once free spiritual being. The free spiritual is constantly active, therefore the unfree spiritual had to remain in inactivity, it had to be banished into an external form which denied it all activity …. It flowed as a free spiritual into infinity and removed itself from God in free will …. But through the removal the spiritual substance grew cold, it congealed and no longer released anything in itself …. God withdrew His love-glow from the spiritual, which had fallen away from Him, and all life, all warmth flowed out of it, and only a cold lifeless mass remained …. the primordial beginning of creation …. Endless times passed before this lifeless mass showed a glimpse of life …. endless times passed before spiritual entities decided to give up their stubborn resistance against God, before they yearned for light and made themselves receptive to light by giving up their resistance. But the slightest change of will loosened their outer forms, their fetters, and a quiet movement began in the lifeless mass, a barely noticeable activity …. the solid mass changed, in places it gave in to the urging of the spiritual within, burst apart and gave the spiritual the opportunity to be slightly active. In again infinitely long periods of time forms and shapes of the most wonderful kind came into being …. the spiritual was active according to divine natural law, its activity was determined by divine will and brought about creations of the most manifold kind. The resistance against God constantly diminished, and therefore the activity became ever more extensive and the resulting creations ever more diverse, at the same time also ever more able to dissolve because their substances were no longer so hardened, for the diminishing resistance meant the supply of light and strength from God, thus life and activity and thereby loosened fetters, i.e. softer external forms which did not require such a long period of time to dissolve. But an unspeakably long time passed before the spiritual had reduced the endless distance from God to such an extent that it was admitted to the last test of will as a human being …. Thus an infinitely long time passed from the beginning of material creation until the first human being, equipped with intellect and free will, was allowed to take this test of will …. And only now did the time epoch begin which people reckon with, only now did the battle of light with darkness begin …. The spiritual, which had travelled the endless long path through creation, had to prove to itself whether it wanted to finally give up its resistance against God or turn away from God again in free will and again fall prey to God’s adversary.

Thus the human age was preceded by an epoch of earthly development which first shaped creation in such a way that the conditions of life were created for the human being on earth, for this was the prerequisite for the human being to be able to begin his spiritual ascent development. For the spiritual being, which was now embodied as a human being, had to serve with love in order to finally become free from the bondage, which was a deserved state for its former will to rule. For it had not acknowledged God as its origin, as its creator and producer, because it did not want to accept Him but believed itself capable of creating and shaping out of its own strength and of controlling its creations. It did not recognize that these arose out of God by using the power and that therefore everything was subject to the eternal divinity, which had come forth out of the will of Lucifer and the power out of God. It did not submit and must therefore now, as a human being, muster the degree of will to acknowledge God as sole lord and creator and to unconditionally submit to His divine will. The earth was now at a stage where divine creation required human activity in order to give people the possibility of life …. God Himself instructed the first human beings in their earthly task, the fulfilment of which ensured their final release from form. But now the power of God’s adversary set in, who had no power over the spiritual in the period of development before …. Man was endowed with free will, and this will God’s adversary sought to win for himself. But this test was permitted by God because the human being was supposed to decide in fullest freedom of will for Him or His adversary. The latter tries to distract the human being from serving in love and to determine him to be active according to his will, which is often also the will of the human being himself. As long as people dwell on earth they stand as an object of battle between light and darkness …. For their souls are courted by both sides, which want to direct their will. The spiritual being, previously in a state of compulsion, striving towards God can reduce the final distance from itself to God but also increase it, yet it must inevitably also bear the consequences of its decision. Earth offers countless possibilities for spiritual ascent development, however, sinking into the deepest depth is also possible, and both are determined by the human being’s will itself …. Yet even this period of development has an end as soon as the human will no longer makes use of any possibility …. as soon as it completely disregards spiritual ascent development and thus no longer fulfils its earthly task. Then the spiritual strives back again, towards the state it had already overcome endless times ago …. And God also places it into this state as soon as the end of the redemption period has come. He lets a new earth arise again and enlivens the new creation with this spiritual, which had failed in the period of development before. And indeed, all substance is dissolved which contains spiritual substances …. This is synonymous with the complete destruction of that which is visible to the eye as earthly matter …. The building up of the new earth, however, does not take place in the same way as at the beginning of creation, for the new human race no longer needs the slow preliminary development since it has passed the test on the old earth and is so far in knowledge that it understands the purpose and aim of every work of creation, thus new creations can come into being unhesitatingly before people’s eyes without being a spiritual obstacle to perfection for them. The new redemption period is therefore only a continuation of the previous one, it only requires a change of the external form, a reshaping of the earth’s surface for the purpose of new development possibilities through the emergence of new creations. For the earth itself remains in existence, it only releases the spiritual for a short time according to divine plan, which is banished again in new creations in order to mature more quickly for the next deformation. The people of the new earth are in a state of maturity which earns them a paradisiacal life, and they are always willing to be active in serving love. Consequently, they are initially not exposed to any resistance which, however, a slow development of the new creation would indisputably mean for them. God creates a paradise on earth for them, and this presupposes creations of incomparable beauty and most graceful magic …. And these creations are the work of a moment. Countless thoughts of God are placed by His will as works in infinity in an instant. Likewise, the new earth will arise without needing time, because nothing is impossible for His might and His will and because His love and wisdom cooperate wherever His will is active …. Human intellect, however, cannot grasp this, it also bases its own inadequacy on divine activity …. But only the imperfect human being applies this standard …. But since the new earth will only bear spiritually mature people as inhabitants, their thinking is free from doubts about the greatness of God and nothing is incomprehensible to them …. They praise and glorify God and His glory, and earthly glory only contributes towards deepening their love for God which ensures them a peaceful life on the new earth where God dwells in the midst of them because He is everywhere where love is ….

Amen

Countless souls dwell close to earth who are secluded without realization of the eternal deity, who entered the kingdom of the beyond blindly in spirit and, still unconscious of their miserable state, stay close to people who were in their vicinity on earth. And these souls, through their desiring and urging, often impel people into actions and speeches which correspond to their will, i.e., they transfer their thinking to people who offer them no resistance, who are of the same spirit and therefore receptive to the influence of those souls. The rapid departure from earth, often in the midst of life due to the influence of demonic forces, to which countless people fall victim, transfers the still immature souls from the state of strength into a state of complete lack of strength. They feel that they can no longer accomplish anything of their own will and therefore seek to transfer their will to living people in order to still have an effect through them, in order to determine them to carry out their will. And this unfavourable influence from the spiritual kingdom of darkness has a particularly detrimental effect on earth because the number of people who die increases daily and many people are deprived of the opportunity to reach their state of maturity on earth. At present the earth is surrounded by dark creatures who even try to deny the forces of light access to earth and are successful where people are indifferent towards the spiritual. The immature souls still strive for the same as on earth, and they transfer their desire to people

(4.8.1945) who have the same thoughts, the same desires and the same state of maturity. And these are willing executors of what they are mentally whispered to. Increased mortality, which is unnatural, i.e. occurs as a result of human hatred and lack of love, will also increase the darkness in the spheres next to earth, for people have not yet evaluated their earthly life, they cannot yet record the spiritual successes, they are mostly easy-going and belong to the world, and their desire for bodily death is correspondingly, as soon as particularly difficult living conditions do not make them realize the worthlessness of it in the last hour and their thinking still changes before the entrance into the spiritual kingdom. Then the soul will also not be surrounded by deepest darkness but will see rays of light flashing now and then, which it will follow and soon come into brighter surroundings. But then its desire will no longer be exclusively for earthly matter, it will easily separate itself from earth and its former surroundings and find a substitute in the spiritual kingdom which seems more valuable to it …. But immature souls cannot rise into these spheres, they are held to earth as if by chains and are also always close to their relatives or like-minded people on earth. And their spiritual state will hardly lift as long as forces from the beyond exert their influence. And their ignorance is not suitable to have an enlightening effect on people, moreover, they make it difficult for the beings of light to gain access to them, and only the serious will of the human being himself clears the way for the beings of light. And therefore earthly chaos, initiated by human will and demanding many sacrifices, also results in a spiritual decline, for even after the human being’s death his thoughts are still active …. And people should protect themselves from the influence of immature, prematurely deceased people by praying for them and asking for protection through the beings of light, for right thinking and God’s grace and strength …. Then the endeavours of the dark spiritual forces will be fruitless, they will not be heard by people and cannot cause spiritual harm. For again, it is the human being’s own will whether he strives for the good in order to be in contact with good forces or carelessly abandons himself to the pressing thoughts of the bad forces …. The human being can protect himself, but he must have the will to do so and consequently abhor bad thoughts and actions …. He must walk a path himself which corresponds to God’s commandments, then all influence from the spiritual kingdom exerted by lower forces will be ineffective. For rays of light penetrate everywhere where only light is desired, where good is striven for and spiritual progress is longed for. There the beings of light are constantly active and they chase away all dark figures around people, for their power is great as soon as the human being grants them this power through his will ….

Amen

Why do you fear and tremble? …. Do I not take part in your fate by always promising you My help? Just place your complete trust in Me and let yourselves be guided, and My guidance is truly right. You can walk along comfortably by My hand, the father’s love protects you and will not let you fall. Yet you must overcome small difficulties so that you will grasp the father’s hand all the more firmly, so that you will not forget His guidance, detach yourselves and want to travel the path alone. For this is a danger for you. Therefore, don’t shrink from the hardship which makes the path seem arduous to you every day, accept all obstacles with complete trust in My help and you will easily overcome them and be able to calmly go your way again. For I always and constantly accompany you as soon as you want to accept My company. And strength will flow over to you from My nearness, and thus you need not fear anything, whatever the world threatens you with. It is My will or My permission that people will still suffer great hardship for the sake of their souls which are still turned away from Me. But I lovingly take care of My own, even though they have to share in the suffering and hardship of the general public. Let Me take care of you and free your hearts from every care of the body …. And only remember your souls that they need not go hungry; stay united with Me, pray and practice love, and you will never ever be without strength, for I will not forget My own, and I will hear and listen to every call to Me. And believe firmly and without doubt that nothing is impossible for Me and that I am closer to you than ever in the greatest adversity. But in My plan from eternity this adversity is intended, however, only as help for the lost souls which would otherwise get lost. But anyone who believes in Me, in My love and omnipotence, can let go of all worries, for as My child he will always be allowed to feel the loving father’s hand which carefully looks after him on his path through life. People’s spiritual low requires a time of adversity which is so drastic that it hardly seems bearable to people. And yet, you, who are My own, should not fear this time of adversity, for as long as you remain united with Me through heartfelt prayer and loving activity, through your will to live to please Me, you are also protected from the corrupting influence of the one who wants to bring you down. And thus the powers of darkness, which want to work through people, have little influence on you …. They can certainly frighten you but they cannot harm you because I stand before you and avert every harm from you …. unless it is necessary for your soul …. Therefore believe and trust, hold on to Me, and My fatherly hand will carefully guide you out of every danger ….

Amen

Lift up your eyes to Me, from Whom comes your help …. I remember My own in greatest adversity and grant them My protection. And what I have promised you will be fulfilled to the letter. But My promise is: The father will not leave His child forever if it does not abandon Him. He faithfully leads it by the hand so that it will emerge from all dangers unharmed in body and soul. Therefore, do not become anxious and despondent when hardship grows and threatens to overwhelm you. Let everything take its course and only listen to the voice of your heart so that you will become aware of My nearness and draw comfort and strength from the awareness that you will never be abandoned. Often turn inwards and speak to Me and I will answer you, I will chase away all doubts and anxiety and make you cheerful and confident, for you constantly draw strength and grace from the connection with Me. And you lack this if you are anxious and fearful. If you are able to have a heartfelt conversation with Me you will also have a strong heart, for you will not feel alone but constantly surrounded by My protection. But if you pay too much attention to the world, to the adversity around you and its effects, My strength cannot flow over to you without resistance and you feel weak. Only the intimate connection with Me makes you strong …. Always speak to Me like children who unreservedly entrust their father with everything that presses them, and like a father I will listen to you and come to your aid. But don’t doubt My love and power …. I can help you and I want to help you as soon as you trust Me unconditionally and humbly and childlike ask Me. For I love you from the start, and My power is unlimited and banishes every disaster in an instant if this is My will. And therefore hope and believe, come to Me in every adversity and distress, and don’t cease to pray for strength of faith …. Trust Me that I will consider you with utmost fatherly love, that I will hear you if you enter into heartfelt dialogue with Me and desire My grace and strength ….

Amen

The will for spiritual ascent, the conscious striving for knowledge, is the surest guarantee that the human being will reach his aim, for God will not leave anyone in darkness who longs for light. At the beginning of his embodiment the human being is without any knowledge; this has to be imparted to him, and the measure, the degree of his spiritual development, which earns him knowledge will also be in accordance with his will. First he receives knowledge from outside which he only has to utilize himself, i.e. think about it and check whether he can accept it as truth. The latter already reveals the will for truth. The power of judgement, however, corresponds to his way of life. Only a God-pleasing way of life earns him full power of judgement, for then the human being strives towards God and thus comes closer to truth. At first the soul is not aware of its earthly task, and yet it can strive for good and detest evil even without knowledge of God, of the meaning and purpose of earthly life. Then it will unconsciously strive towards God, and the recognition of truth will not be difficult for it if it is offered to it from outside. Nevertheless, it must inwardly process what is offered to it if it is to have a fruit-bearing effect, i.e. if it is to promote its ascent. Man has the ability to examine because God endows him with the gift of understanding, which he must use. The human being who unconsciously strives towards God is driven by his spirit to let his intellect become active as soon as it concerns knowledge, as soon as spiritual knowledge is offered to the human being. And his soul will not resist the spirit, it will do what it is urged to do by the spiritual spark within itself, for the soul of a person striving towards God, thus of a person who is turned towards the good and away from the bad, longs for light …. It will not be satisfied with inadequate knowledge, it will examine and ponder and truly receive the right answer mentally, because this is God’s will that the soul is guided into truth. As soon as a certain degree of maturity has been achieved, as soon as the human being has attained realization, i.e. has recognized spiritual knowledge as pure truth, it will consciously strive towards God, it will strive for ever deeper knowledge, for constant ascent development …. It strives to become perfect because the desire for God becomes ever stronger and it seeks to conform to God in order to come close to Him …. And it will truly reach its aim, for God constantly draws it to Himself, He gives the soul according to its desire …. light and strength …. He will never let it sink back into the state of darkness once it has felt the benefit of light, once it has become knowledgeable and thus its spirit has awakened to life …. This spirit is now constantly active and strives for unification with the father-spirit from eternity …. The awakened spirit, however, never falls back into sleep but does not rest until this unification with the father-spirit has taken place, which is the human being’s final aim on earth ….

Amen

Heaven and earth and also the forces of the underworld obey My will, although the latter strive against Me and carry a will averse to Me. But whatever aims they pursue, if My will does not give its consent, they are powerless. However, the fact that I also allow their evil will to take effect is based on My love and wisdom, even though this is incomprehensible to people. The final redemption of the spiritual being from the bound state first requires the knowledge of good and evil. The perfect being must detest evil as the worst injustice and therefore also be able to gain insight into its depths …. In order to be good, it must completely turn away from evil. But since the bound spiritual being is still under the influence of the one to whom it owes the state of being bound, it is initially more inclined towards evil, and as long as it feels good in bad surroundings, as long as it carries out bad actions without any concern of doing wrong, it is still so far away from perfection that it will never be able to feel My love. It first has to come to realization in order to then be able to decide in free will for good or evil. And I gave the human being the ability to recognize good and evil Myself, yet I also gave My adversary the power to influence the human being’s will, to entice him into evil deeds so that he will then freely decide. Yet I will never ever allow the evil forces to exercise their temptations on the human being. For My will only calls good that which has love in it. I do not prevent bad deeds which people carry out under the influence of these forces, for they are intended to be a reason for the human being to decide for or against them, they are intended to sharpen his realization of good and evil, they are intended to help him turn away from them in deepest disgust. Yet I do not always allow the planned effects of such deeds but weaken them or prevent them according to the necessity of adversity and suffering in order to come to the aid of people’s souls. Evil must be recognized and detested otherwise the soul cannot free itself from it. For how the soul, the thinking, feeling and willing of man, attunes itself to it is decisive. Bad thoughts, bad feelings and bad will give birth to bad deeds; but My adversary seeks to make the person’s thinking and wanting inclined towards these bad deeds by irritating the person’s feeling through ideas which are pleasing to the body. And thus he tries to make the human being’s soul completely subject to the body’s desire and thereby achieves his aim of alienating it from Me. But I do not take this power away from him, after all, it is up to the human being himself whether he subordinates himself to it. For the good spiritual substance is also constantly active to convey good thoughts to people, thus to make the concept of good and evil understandable to them, and the human being is not at the mercy of the forces of the underworld. All forces, even the bad ones, contribute towards the spiritual’s redemption, since the final decision lies with the human being himself as to which direction he will take and neither good nor bad forces can force this will, because My will commands them to stop if the human being’s free will is not respected. For My will rules heaven and earth, the spiritual and the earthly kingdom, and it rules full of love and wisdom in order to redeem the fallen spirit ….

Amen

God feeds the hungry and He waters the thirsty …. He gives the soul and the body what they need for their earthly progress, for His love does not leave His creatures in need. He gives the soul the bread of heaven, and if it accepts it and gratefully feasts on it, He also takes care of the body, offering it in its time what it needs for earthly life. He feeds the hungry …. who carry a desire for nourishment of the soul …. This is a prerequisite, for the food He gives to people from heaven is precious and will not be wasted on people who do not pay attention to it, who are full of worldly pleasures and have no desire for nourishment of the soul. But God does not take care of their earthly needs either, instead He leaves the care for them to himself. They, too, will be able to cover the body’s needs, for they will be helped by the opposing power to tie them all the more to the world and thus to themselves. But it will always require the strength of the human being himself, his vitality, to procure for himself what he needs. But God supplies His own with what they need, provided they first desire the nourishment of the soul …. His word, which makes the will of the father in heaven known to them, which preaches His love, wisdom and omnipotence to them, which instructs them, gives comfort and strength and is true refreshment for the soul of the person who receives it with a hungry heart. He will confidently be able to leave the care of the body to God, Who truly knows what he needs and in fatherly love takes care that His children do not suffer lack. He lovingly offers His word, the nourishment of the soul, to people so that they can fulfil their earthly task and successfully complete their earthly life …. He wants to make it possible for them to reach the aim, to become free from every external form and to enter eternity as beings of light. That is why He gave man life …. thus He will also preserve it until the human being has reached his aim if he seriously strives for it. And thus He will also provide the body with what it needs to sustain itself, He will take good care of it so that it can fulfil its earthly task. He feeds and waters people spiritually and earthly …. But He demands hunger and thirst of the souls …. This is a condition which the human being has to fulfil in order not to lose the father’s care, he has to desire spiritual nourishment because this is at the same time a desire for God Himself. To be fed by God Himself is a gift of grace of immeasurable value …. But God never hands out His gift to unworthy people who do not respect the giver and also spurn His gift if it were offered to them. Spiritual nourishment is incomparably more valuable and the life of the soul more important than the preservation of the body, the earthly body, which is transient. But God does not let the mortal shell of a human being go hungry and starve, if his soul strives to gain eternal life …. if his soul hungers for the bread of heaven, for the nourishment which fatherly love offers it as the word of God, which gives strength for upward development …. He gives the body what it needs, as well as the human being puts the nourishment of the soul before all other needs, and He will guide the human being through every adversity of the time according to wise discretion, always taking the human being’s spiritual life into account, He will consider him as it is good for his soul, for His promise is: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all else shall be added unto you ….”

Amen

Everything good is My working, for nothing bad can ever come forth from My might and My will, because My love works as strength in every creation, in every event which is based on My will. My adversary’s will, however, works without love and can therefore only give birth to evil. His love is blatant self-love full of the worst instincts which only strive for ruin in order to increase his power, and his will is therefore the destruction of that which has emerged from My hand, which is good and perfect and a work of infinite love. But there are limits to his power …. He abused it in the beginning to create new beings which were intended to help displace Me, to reduce My power and to make Me subservient to him, which he will never succeed in doing because I, as lord of heaven and earth, can withdraw his strength and power at any time if this is My will. But My love took pity on the entity which had emerged from his hand, from his evil will using My strength. My love seeks to release it from My adversary’s power, it seeks to snatch it from his will of destruction and to help him to eternal life …. And therefore I withdrew the power over the beingness from him, which has to cover the path to Me in bound form. And thus he has no power over any work of creation, he cannot destroy or annihilate anything that is My work, because this power belongs to Me alone and I use it where My love deems it good. For My working is always good, even if it is not recognized. But the adversary’s sphere of power is earth in the stage of the being’s development where, embodied as a human being, it has to pass the final test of will …. Thus he has power over the human being’s will at this time, and he seeks to use it in every way. He seeks to weaken the will for good, he seeks to develop the instinct of destruction and annihilation in the human being in order to induce him to carry out what is his will …. To destroy My work …. But I gave human will complete freedom …. and thus the human being is able to comply or also resist My adversary’s influence, depending on his feeling of belonging, which he brings to development within himself. And the human being can now carry out the worst deeds without being prevented by Me, but on the other hand he will find every support if he wants to resist My adversary, if he himself is inclined towards good, if he seeks Me and thus proves his affiliation to Me. The bad will expresses itself destructively, the good will builds up …. any destruction by human hand is satanic activity, even though it requires My permission to be carried out. But since earthly life as a human being is a test of will I must also give him the opportunity to live out his will in every direction. I may not prevent him from doing bad deeds, just as I will never force his will to do good deeds. And therefore I have left My adversary the power to influence people during their earthly life, and the less resistance he meets, the more he will use this power …. But one day a work of destruction will take place which is based on My will …. Works of creation will be destroyed without My adversary’s influence …. Yet even then My will is still good and My activity an act of love and mercy, for this work of destruction only signifies a reshaping of what exists for the purpose of spiritual ascent development. It is progress for the works of creation in question and also a means for people to gain maturity of soul if they have a will turned towards Me or gain it through it. But My adversary never has a share in what erupts as a force of nature, instead, his activity only extends to that which allows human will to come to fruition. And he always and constantly tries to influence this. And in the time before the end his influence is enormous …. And therefore I take away his power, also over the human will …. by binding all immature spiritual substances in form again, in new works of creation, and by completely withdrawing the mature spiritual substances from his power …. by binding him Myself in the hardest matter for a long time, until humanity distances itself from Me again to such an extent that it thereby gives him the freedom to influence it himself …. Then I will not hinder him so that man’s will may be tested anew ….

Amen

Divine creative will gave rise to works, that are visible to the human eye, to reveal Himself to them in the works of creation. It is His aim, to lead the people to recognize His own, then to win his love and turn his will to Himself. As God’s greatness and glory, His love, omnipotence and wisdom is recognized, also the man strives to the highest essence. However without this knowledge, his mind turns to the things, that appear to him covetously for life on earth. A man contains a love within himself, which may be wrong, so it is directed at whom, what is transitory. He will always strive to something, and the object of his endeavour shall be divine …. something spiritual, that is perfect, then his love is right …. God Himself is the most perfect spirit, to get to Him requires deepest love …. Therefore He must also be recognized, and so He reveals Himself to people, when He gives rise to creations in front of their eyes, which attest His love, omnipotence and wisdom …. And man must learn to love God, who considers His creation attentively. He must feel God’s love and His wisdom, that has assigned determination to each work of His creation, and he must sink in deep respect for His greatness and unsurpassability. The knowing of the eternal Deity results inevitably in love to Him, and man strives consciously for God, he tries to contact Him, he offers himself to his creator as His creature, in order to stay connected with Him, because he loves Him. The love to God is the driving force of eager striving, without love man belongs to the world, because it has his wrong love. In order to be able to love God, He must be recognized however, and God Himself helps people, to learn to recognize Him …. He shows Himself to them in His greatness and power …. In His creations He is palpably near by the people, because everything, that has arisen from His will, is in its original substance spiritual strength, so whose outflow, of what He is Himself …. the strength center, an inexhaustible spring of strength of love …. God Himself is the eternal love, He is strength and thus present in each of His works of creation, what will be understandable for the man, so he has recognized God, so he has found his way into the essence of love by own work in love. If he has reached this stage of knowledge, to comprehend the essence and the strength of love, then he seeks God no longer in the distance, but He is near him in every work of creation, and his love for Him is growing steadily and let him constantly mature in the knowledge. And every man can come to recognize the eternal Divinity in serious contemplation of His works and serious will, to invade into a closed area for him otherwise …. God’s action and workings in the universe …. God appeases man’s thirst for knowledge, who is seeking to fathom Him in desire for truth and the pursuit of knowledge. Because He wants to be recognized, He wants to reveal Himself to men, that they may come into contact with Him; He wants to be loved by His creatures, and therefore He gives Himself to recognize as a being full of love, that is the highest perfection and can claim the love of His creatures with full right. But He does not want to force people to love, and that’s why everyone is free to let speak the divine creation to himself or to pass by it indifferently. God is always nearby the people in His works, but only those feel Him, who seek to recognize Him and therefore pay full attention to all the things, of which they are surrounded. These will feel Him and break out to Him in love, they will seek to fathom Him, they will let wander their thoughts to infinity and raise questions, that will be answered by spiritual side, and they will come to the knowledge, that the sequence is a pursuit to perfection, to be able to come near the highest and most perfect being, because man feels it, that this is the end-aim of his earthly life, that he unites with God, from His strength he once originated ….

Amen

Humanity has now entered a phase of development that is extremely significant because it precedes the final end according to God’s purpose of eternity. Complete spiritual blindness characterizes the last time before the end. People are completely unaware of their purpose of earthly life and their task, they have no spiritual connection whatsoever, they are distant from God due to their lack of love and their completely wrong thinking, their concern is for the world, for the attainment of earthly goods, and spiritual life is completely disregarded. Hence it is not a time of upward development but a standstill has occurred which changes into the regression of the spiritual, which in this last time dwells on earth embodied as a human being. Earth has, so to speak, become obsolete as a station of development for the spiritual substance, and this is a state which cannot last long because, according to God’s eternal love and wisdom, only constant further development should take place and He therefore creates new possibilities again which guarantee this further development. It is a time of greatest spiritual blindness which can also hardly be remedied because the human being’s will resists itself if light is brought to it. For in the darkness in which they dwell will-o’-the-wisps flash up towards which people strive …. It is the world with its splendour which they long for and which fully imprisons their thinking. By the spiritual standstill, by the decline of all spiritual development, people will recognize how close the end is, provided they are connected to God and observe world events with a spiritual eye. They will know that the coming of the lord is not far off. But they will have to endure a hard time of struggle beforehand, for it is necessary to achieve a separation of spirits. The wheat must separate from the chaff, those who have not yet completely decided must become clear where their will is heading. The last battle must be fought, and it will be an extremely hard one …. But those who carry God in their hearts will emerge victorious, for God is always close to them, He Himself guides them through this battle …. There are only a few people but these stand in the light; they are knowledgeable and also draw the strength from knowledge for the final resistance against the enemy of their souls. And so the light fights against the darkness …. When this battle will take place openly, then the coming of the lord is to be expected daily, for the adversity will be great for those who are faithful to God, and in the greatest adversity He will appear as saviour and fetch them home into His kingdom …. And the earth in its present configuration has fulfilled its destiny …. By God’s will it will be destroyed in its outer form and completely transformed in order to be able to function again as a station of education of the spiritual according to God’s wise plan. The people of the present time are already in this last phase of development, and thus the end is not far off. Yet God’s infinite love and patience still forgives, He still gives people every conceivable opportunity to step out of darkness into the light of His love …. Yet the end will inevitably come, for people do not respect His love and care, for they are further away from God than ever. Yet anyone who joins Him can expect the end without worry, he will not perish, for God protects his soul and also takes care of his physical body, as it serves his soul best ….

Amen

And My word is preached everywhere by those I have called to it, yet only a few obey My word. I can offer people the most delicious by conveying My word to earth Myself …. few only pay attention to My gift and allow themselves to be delighted by it. And yet, it is the most precious thing that can be offered to people on earth, for it contains the strength by means of which they can reach Me. It is proof of My love for people that I make direct contact with them, although I make use of My awakened disciples on earth through whom I speak to people. Yet how few recognize My great love and are grateful for the gift of grace …. how few recognize it as My word, as the expression of My love, and allow themselves to be permeated by My strength. But these do not take their path of life unsuccessfully, they will reach the aim, they will find union with Me because My word draws them inexorably, because My word is Me Myself and I no longer leave anyone out who accepts Me into his heart. They will mature in their souls, they will mature in knowledge and in the happy feeling of belonging to Me they will already find their bliss on earth, even though hardship and suffering still accompany them for the sake of their fellow human beings who are without any knowledge. My word gives strength to endure adversity and suffering because I Myself will then assist the person who takes refuge in the word, in Me. My word gives inner peace, for where I am all waves will be smoothed and all storms will pass which threaten the earthly child in the last days before the end. My word goes to all those who desire it from the bottom of their hearts. Wherever and however it is offered to them, it will then have strength if it is desired in the desire for Me and a hungry heart accepts it. Then the proclaimer of the word will also carry My spirit within himself so that the word will reach the human being’s heart without error, for then I Myself will speak through him in order to offer the desiring earthly child the bread of heaven, even if the proclaimer is not yet called by Me to exercise his ministry. Yet I always comply with the desire for truth, and thus no person who desires to be instructed in truth need fear false teachings. But if a proclaimer is still unawakened in spirit, the word will fall flat on the listeners’ ears until they have a deep desire for My word, for My comfort and encouragement. It is different, however, when one of My awakened disciples proclaims the gospel …. Then even lukewarm people can be touched by the power of My word …. the desire for truth, for My word, can awaken in them and intensify so that they are deeply impressed and beneficially feel the strength of My word. And therefore I awaken people everywhere through whose mouth I speak to them in order to win them for My kingdom. For anyone who has once felt the strength of My word will always desire it again, and My word can take effect in him. Yet only a few direct their mind spiritually, only a few seek their peace outside of the world, and therefore I can only approach a few in the word. But I bless these few and am with them until the end, which is near, in order to stand by them in the last battle from which they will emerge victorious, because I Myself am their commander ….

Amen

Every prayer rising up to Me in spirit and in truth will be granted. But who prays to Me in spirit and in truth? …. A thought arising from the bottom of your heart intended for Me will guarantee the right prayer. Anyone who speaks to Me without shyness and restraint just as if it came from the heart, anyone who does not look for Me in the distance but feels Me close to himself, who does not recite formal prayers but rather has thoughts which come forth from himself, that is, thoughts which arise from his own heart, who speaks to Me without falsehood and dishonesty …. thus anyone who completely opens his heart to Me without wanting to hide anything, who therefore speaks to Me like a child to its father …. sends his prayer to Me in spirit and in truth, because the spiritual spark has been kindled in him already. His spirit has awakened to life, and this places heartfelt thoughts into a person’s heart …. Anyone who can pray to Me like that is already on the right path and he will be guided along by his spirit in the right way. However, this is the kind of prayer I expect in order to hear it. I pay no attention to formal prayers because they do not arise from a person’s own heart and can therefore never be felt with the same depth as the heart’s own language can express. Anyone who prays to Me must call upon Me in spirit and his voice will be heard by the Father-Spirit. Anyone who calls upon Me must drop all inhibitions, he must step in front of Me without hiding anything and speak plainly and frankly, it must not be accompanied by the least insincere thought, he must pray with absolute truthfulness …. For I know every thought and nothing remains concealed from Me. Anyone who prays to Me like that …. in spirit and in truth …. does not need a special place for prayer, he can send his spirit to Me always and in all places, he will always pray ‘in his closet’ if he withdraws into himself and seeks mental contact with Me and I will answer his prayer. I Am waiting for such a call, and I Am perceptively close to anyone who calls upon Me in spirit and in truth, and he will feel the presence of My Father- Spirit around himself, he will not send his prayer into the distance but speak to Me in the certainty that I Myself Am close to Him and hear him. And whatever My child asks for will be granted. For its indwelling spirit instructs it to pray in the right way, and this prayer will always more relate to his spiritual than to his physical well-being. But I will also help My child physically, because it subordinates its will to Mine as soon as it prays in the right way, that is, in spirit and in truth. He knows the goal of his life on earth and aims to attain it, for the right prayer also guarantees higher knowledge …. Anyone who calls upon Me as I want to be called upon, need not fear any want …. But first I will consider his spirit, so that his soul shall be imbued with knowledge, so that his soul need not live in want. Then the human being will also know that physical suffering is not inevitable, that it is beneficial for the soul and he will humbly subordinate himself to My will. Nevertheless, I will also guide him unscathed through his earthly life, because I will grant My child every help. A right prayer therefore also guarantees the fulfilment of earthly requests, and no such prayer will ever remain unheeded. My love with always fulfil a sincere desire for Me and My help, for My grace and strength, for spiritual and earthly care, because anyone praying to Me in spirit and in truth lives up to My will, and I will be a loving Father on earth and in eternity for anyone striving to fulfil My will.

Amen

The adversary of God works his field with success. He rots out what is good and scatters bad seed, and the weeds overgrow every other plant. And when the time of harvest has come, only a few good fruits will be gathered, and all the weeds will be burned up. How often has God mentioned this time and pointed out the power of satan against mankind. How often has He announced the signs under which satan’s work will be successful, to warn people, to admonish them to be wary of his snares. But these predictions remain unheeded, just as his power over people does not make them aware of the danger they are in. They willingly surrender to his influence and willingly carry out what he demands of them …. loveless actions which suffocate all good feeling in them, which make them ripe for ruin. It is the time of the end, which lasts until the spirits have parted …. until even the lukewarm and undecided have decided for above or below. For this separation of spirits must still take place. Countless people still have to clarify which spirit they want to adhere to, for in many people there is still no clarity about this …. they are blind in spirit, they speak God’s name and believe themselves to belong to Him although their thoughts and actions completely contradict His commandments …. while some still struggle for realization, they start to detest evil and can still find the path to truth and life if they distance themselves from the pleasures of the world, if they seriously consider their souls. And the end time must still bring about this final separation, and that is why it will be a time of horror, a time when all instincts will come to fruition, good and bad, but the latter in predominance, so that the good will have a hard time to assert itself. The door will be opened to all vices and desires, and the world will find more and more followers through whom God’s adversary will lure with success. Yet God also calls His own, and anyone who hears His voice will also follow it because he recognizes it as the father’s voice. And He gives His own great strength to resist, He strengthens the weak, He helps the weak believers so that they are able to firmly believe, He entices and calls the undecided and shows them the right path, and He takes care of all people who seriously strive to be good and to resist the evil forces which oppress them. And the separation of spirits will take place …. the contrast between good and bad, between God-fearing and God-averse people, will become increasingly clearer, for open enmity will set in; the bad will take action against the people who adhere to God and seek to destroy them. And then the last time will have come, the end time will have entered the last phase when the battle will begin against the believers. Then God’s activity will visibly appear so that His own will survive this time, so that they will emerge victorious from the last battle which will end with the coming of the lord in the clouds, when He will fetch His own home into His kingdom and hold court over the earth …. to save those who believe in Him and to bind the followers of His adversary, whom He will also bind for a long time ….

Amen

The human being must be willing to give everything if he wants to fully and completely accept God’s strength, if he wants to let it flow into him in all its fullness and thereby be able to achieve supernatural things. Anyone who gives everything away, who has completely detached his heart from earthly goods, from the world and its attractions, has overcome self-love and his love can only be the right kind, love for his neighbour and thus for God, and he will always and constantly be active in loving activity, he will thereby enter into closest contact with God and be able to receive His emanation of strength directly. For there is no longer any obstacle, his will is turned towards God and his actions correspond to God’s will …. To detach oneself from the world means to unite with God …. but this separation must first have taken place before the human being opens himself without resistance to the supply of strength from God …. The will to do so must be proven through action, for the will to unite can also exist in people who are still lukewarm and turned towards the world, but it first has to be implemented through serious overcoming of that which appears earthly desirable to the human being. But then he will receive more than he has given, for the emanation of strength from God will make him infinitely more happy, he will master earthly life in full possession of the strength from God but first lead a spiritual life and have treasures at his disposal which will give his life rich content, which he will never want to miss again and which will stimulate him to constant activity in love. He will call knowledge his own which has its origin in God and is therefore purest truth; he will stand high in knowledge and this will make him free and happy. He will no longer know any weakness, no fear and anxiety, for the strength from God will never ever let such arise, and his constant endeavour will be to fulfil God’s will, to serve Him and to help his neighbour to the same beatitude on earth which is granted to him. But the strength from God will also enable him to accomplish things which are extraordinary and beyond the strength of a human being …. his will will attain such strength that he will be able to do everything by believing in God’s strength working in him …. If there is no longer an obstacle within himself for the influx of God’s strength, there are also no limits to its working, for it is now God Who works in him, and the human being’s will will now also be God’s will if the union with God has taken place. Uninterrupted unselfish activity of love and the complete abandonment of earthly desires earns the human being unity with God on earth, and then God’s love will also manifestly work in the human being and provide him with spiritual possessions unmeasured …. with the attention of the divine word, which, as God’s direct emanation, is the greatest source of strength, from which he can now strengthen and refresh himself ….

(19.8.1945) God Himself works in him …. and man must now be powerful and mighty …. His will will only carry out what God’s will is, and God’s will will become a deed through a person who stands in the power of God. But to fellow human beings it appears supernatural because they don’t feel God’s strength within themselves and also have no understanding for its working. But if they themselves would overcome earthly matter, if they would likewise detach themselves from it, the same things would be possible for them and the process of extraordinary working through people would be explainable, because light flows to the human being at the same time as strength, the knowledge of spiritual working. Light and strength are one, and therefore nothing appears supernatural to the knowing human being, but only as an increased degree of spiritual progress. He knows that everything imperfect is powerless and lightless, but that power and light are part of him who seriously strives for perfection and develops upwards step by step. And therefore the knowing human being will also lose all fear of the world because he knows that he is in intimate contact with God and can make use of His strength at any time, and thus he is immune to the attacks of the world until the hour which God’s will has set for his physical end. And therefore he fears no-one but is able to instil fear in fellow human beings who are ignorant of his strength and power. As a conqueror of matter every fetter of matter also falls from him, he stands in spiritual freedom, and that also means power over matter, because this is subject to God’s will, which is expressed in the human being who is permeated by strength. God works in him …. and the human being’s state must be bliss …. to be able to fully surrender to God’s activity and to be constantly active according to His will …. He will only use his will to work in love in order to point people to God’s love, which bestows a precious gift upon the human being who unites with Him, who overcomes matter and thus allows the strength from God to flow into him unhindered through continued activity in love …. He will point people to the strength of love which now expresses itself in an obvious way, he will initiate them into the strength and power of the divine word which educates to love and is a signpost to God …. He will present their earthly task to people and try to motivate them to likewise detach themselves from matter, which is worthless and transient, so that they can receive spiritual goods …. so that God’s strength also expresses itself in them …. so that God Himself can work in them ….

Amen

Do not search and ponder but pray and listen within yourselves if you want to become wise. For wisdom is spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth, which can never be gained through research and brooding but which is gladly and abundantly offered to you by the spirit within you, which is God’s share from eternity. Make contact with the spirit within you by enabling its working, by awakening it through loving activity and then listen attentively to what it tells you. This process can only be understood by the person who has experienced it himself, who has fulfilled the conditions which the working of the spirit requires …. who is lovingly active on earth …. And this person has experienced that the voice of the spirit expresses itself in him as soon as he closes himself off from the world and attentively listens within until it reveals itself. But without the working of love God’s spirit cannot become effective in him, without the working of love the person who researches and ponders will therefore never become wise either. He will consider a process impossible which earns him true knowledge as long as he has not made the test himself which promises him rich success. The spiritual connection must be established in order to receive spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth. And spiritual knowledge alone is valuable, spiritual knowledge alone is constant and should therefore be striven for first. Earthly knowledge will then likewise be given to the human being as required, as soon as he first strives for wisdom, for knowledge which outlasts all earthly things. Depending on his earthly task earthly knowledge will also come to him, for the spirit in him now directs all his thoughts as soon as the human being has made his effectiveness possible. Yet he must never strive for earthly success for the sake of earthly reward, instead, love for his fellow human beings must drive him to be eagerly active on earth as well. And every desire which arises from the love of the heart will be fulfilled, for now the spirit of God can work in him unhindered because there is no longer any danger that the human being will lose his heart to the world and thus earthly success can no longer endanger him either. For the human being does not value earthly success differently than the increased joy of being able to give and distribute to the needy. And as soon as earthly knowledge is used to make his fellow human being happy, to help him in physical hardship, he will also be blessed, and spiritual knowledge will also be guaranteed to him, and only then will he be wise …. he will possess wisdom, offered by God Himself but never acquired through research and brooding. God sets His conditions for the acquisition of wisdom, the true knowledge from God. And whoever fulfils this condition can truly draw from the fountain of wisdom …. And his thirst for knowledge will be quenched and he will be able to instruct his fellow human beings again, he will also be able to show them the way to attain the right knowledge. He will preach love to them, which alone allows the working of the spirit and therefore absolutely has to be practiced if the human being wants to be truly wise ….

Amen

The end will come when no-one expects it …. It will be a time when God-rejecting people are enjoying life to the full while God’s faithful are anxiously awaiting the coming of the Lord. The former, however, don’t spend a single thought on the forthcoming end, they live for the moment without scruples or tempering their earthly pleasures, they indulge themselves, commit sins and are totally subject to Satan’s influence. It will be a time when an apparent improvement of living conditions has been achieved, when earthly hardship has diminished for people complying with the demands of the ruling power, when only those people have to suffer who are excluded on account of their faith. And in the midst of this euphoria the Judgment will come …. surprising even God’s faithful since nothing before will have given the impression that a change of their sad situation might occur. Humanity is rife with guilt of sin, it has completely detached itself from God and turned to His adversary, it has received his share on earth, earthly pleasures in abundance, and people’s intentions and endeavours get increasingly worse and demonstrate themselves in their actions against the faithful, who are mercilessly bullied and helpless against their power and brutal aggression. They do a first class job for Satan and humanity is ready for destruction. And thus the end will come as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture …. It will be a horrendous day for people, the earth will split open, fires will break through the earth’s crust and all elements will be in uproar …. And people trying to flee will break into indescribable panic, yet wherever they turn they will find the same everywhere, certain destruction ….

The end has come for all whose mind is turned away from God …. and the deliverance from greatest danger for His Own, who will be removed alive and thus escape physical death. God has already announced this time long in advance, yet no-one appreciates His predictions, and thus people will suddenly find themselves in a dreadful situation from which there is no escape. The destruction of the old earth has been decided since eternity, but when it will happen remains hidden from people, and thus they will experience it at a time when they believe themselves safe and masters of the world, when they try to get as much enjoyment as possible out of life, when they are totally captivated by the world and therefore exclude God from their thoughts.

And thus God reminds people of Himself …. He calls to account those who sin against Him because they refuse to acknowledge Him …. He sits in Judgment over humanity and separates people by lifting His Own into His kingdom and banishing the others once again …. by leaving them to lose their lives in an appalling way and imprisoning their souls once more, i.e. by constraining the soul’s will so that it will have to take the path of development through the new creation again. This is a cruel act and yet one of divine justice, for people’s sinfulness will have reached its climax. They are of service to Satan and have become sheer devils themselves; nothing else can be given to them but physical destruction and spiritual captivity so that God’s faithful will be released from them and able to lead a life of peace and harmony on the new earth.

And although God is ever forgiving and patient while the sinfulness keeps growing …. the end will come without fail and at a time when it is least expected. For even the believers will be shocked, because everything worldly appears to prevail, because the increasing power of the world’s representatives has rendered the faithful helpless and without rights. And thus the world appears stable and yet is so close to its destruction …. until the day comes, which God has determined since eternity, which no-one is able to predetermine and which, according to God’s plan, will nevertheless bring the final disintegration of everything on earth. Only God knows the day, people shall always expect it and prepare themselves for it so that they will belong to those who will be taken away by God in advance, so that they will not belong to those who will be condemned on the Day of Judgment, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….

Amen

The mighty strength on earth will not be able to do anything against the raging of the forces of nature, if God will speak through them. He will be small and weak and will have to endure the natural disaster, for one is stronger than he …. Who lord is over heaven and earth …. Whose strength will be recognizable and no human being will be able to oppose Him and put a stop to nature’s raging. For it only obeys God’s will, but where the will of God Himself is at work and upsets the elements of nature in order to prove His strength and power, there He also determines the end and the course of an event which is inconceivable in its extent and its effect. But people should learn to recognize Him, they should sense a higher power to which they are at the mercy and contact it through recognition and silent supplication for help. Furthermore, they should learn to recognize how small and weak the human being is in comparison to Him, even if great power is attributed to him on earth, even if his power appears unlimited on earth. Before God even the most powerful is small and lowly, and He can destroy his power in an instant. On the other hand, the weakest person on earth can be powerful if he uses the strength from God and works with it …. Then he can act in God’s will and even command nature and it will obey him. For then the human being’s will will be subject to God’s will, and then God Himself, to Whom everything is subject, heaven and earth and all elements, will be active …. Yet these will appear small and lowly on earth, for their strength lies in faith and love, in a childlike mind which always and constantly seeks contact with the father from eternity …. Their strength lies in humility of heart, which never seeks to present anything on earth but walks quietly and humbly and thus never wants to be considered rulers before fellow human beings. But he who is strong and powerful on earth seeks to rule the world but lacks spiritual strength. And therefore he will have to recognize his powerlessness when God’s voice sounds from above, and as a weak human being he will fear the forces of nature because he sees himself at their mercy without salvation. And thus he could also gain faith in a higher power, which he would have to recognize above him. But mostly his arrogant nature prevents him from submitting. He does not want to cede his power, he wants to rule and determine. And that is why he must feel his powerlessness, so that in the last hour he will realize and submit. Then the difficult hours will also become a blessing for him, even if he loses his physical life, as soon as he still submits himself in the face of death to the one Who created him and Who lets His voice be heard for his sake in order to win him for eternity ….

Amen

Blessed are those who are of good will, who recognize in Me their father from eternity and who strive to live to please Me …. I will always be a loving father to them and take care of their needs, both spiritually and physically. And thus they will progress in their development, for I only require their will in order to be able to count them as My own. Once this has decided in favour of Me the human being will inevitably strive upwards, he will seek to perfect himself, he will look for unity with Me and will also safely reach his aim, because I will never leave him out as soon as his will is meant for Me. To a certain extent he has already passed the test of life which consists of his will deciding for Me or for My adversary, as soon as he makes an effort to be and act well, as soon as he expresses this in living together with his neighbour and thus ignites the spark of love within himself which now becomes a bright flame the more he turns his will towards Me. And then he can never sink back or fall prey to My adversary’s power, for I hold him, I no longer let anything escape Me which wants to escape My adversary’s power. He has decided in favour of Me and fulfilled his purpose of earthly life, and if I nevertheless leave him on earth it is only for his own good, so that he will increase his degree of maturity and be able to leave earth as a being of light which offers him enough opportunity for ascent development. I want to give him the opportunity to acquire the childship to God, and therefore he has to live earthly life, even though he has decided in favour of Me …. But now I constantly stand by him with My strength of love, stimulating him to love activity, and thus I bless him. And My blessing means constant help, constant grace and constant supply of strength for higher development. And I bless everyone who is of good will, I stand by his side and never ever leave him out, I draw him up to Me, and anyone who is seized by My love will eternally no longer need to do without it, because it cannot diminish but only deepen, and because it applies to all My living creations who turn to Me and are therefore My true children ….

Amen
