Power of the divine word ….
B.D. 3687 from February 15th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
You can draw comfort and strength from every one of My words because they originated from Me and are therefore strength in themselves. You only ever have to let Me speak to you, you have to unite with Me beforehand in heartfelt prayer, entrust your needs to Me and then take My words as a counter-speech, and you will constantly be strengthened, for if I speak to you Myself you will have to lose all weakness of spirit and body. Every one of My words will proclaim My love to you, and if you know yourselves to be loved by your father from eternity, every fear must also fall from you, for He Who loves you is also powerful and nothing is impossible for Him. And if you believe this you are powerful yourselves, and you overcome all opposition, for you always get the strength for this from My word. Therefore let Me constantly speak to you, never neglect to open your heart to Me at times through silent dialogue with Me, open yourselves so that My strength can flow over to you, for this requires your own will. He who wants to receive must also prepare himself as a receiving device, and this more often if spiritual and earthly hardship threatens to overwhelm him. The frequent mental connection with Me also guarantees him an influx of strength, and for this he needs to detach himself from the world. He must often find the time to accept My word again and again, to let it speak to him, and thereby join Me ever more firmly …. and his faith will become strong and unshakeable, for then I Myself will displace the spiritual substance which, banished in matter, tries to approach the human being again and again in order to distract him from Me. I hold the heart which has fled to Me, I protectively hold My hand over the one who has become Mine through his will …. And if you therefore want to face all adversity full of strength, don’t pass by the source of strength but constantly draw from it …. I am always ready to give you the cup that refreshes your soul and increases its strength …. You receive food and drink with every word that goes out from Me and touches your ear and heart …. And you can therefore receive unmeasured strength from Me, because My gift is not given to you in a limited way but you yourselves determine the measure …. Let Me speak to you, listen to what My spirit announces to you and constantly draw from the source of life …. My word will never lose its strength if you hungrily receive it, if you eagerly listen to My voice, for it is I Myself Who comes to you in the word, and My presence will always signify strength and grace and thus never be without effect. The time is short and you should still make eager use of it and absorb strength so that you will then be able to survive every battle with the spiritual and earthly world. And thus make My word your concern and receive strength in abundance from My hand, which lovingly guides you until the end of your life ….
Amen

Urgency and blessing of activity for the kingdom of God ….
B.D. 3688 from February 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
I bless all those who serve Me, who declare themselves ready to cooperate in the redemption of erring souls in the last time before the end …. and to them I promise My protection …. eternally you will thank Me for having complied with My solicitation for your help, for this last activity of My believers on earth is of utmost importance, of most urgent necessity and of unnameable advantage for the willing souls. For the darkness on earth has become impenetrable and spiritual death the fate of those who do not save themselves from the darkness of night into the light of day. Yet they are no longer able to do so without help because people’s will is totally weakened, if not wrong, and this help can only be brought to them by Me through fellow human beings, because I Myself cannot work directly on them. And thus, if I want to save those souls I require servants on earth who are active in My will, and this of their own free will. I could certainly awaken people and speak through them without their will, yet even less faith would be placed in them and the souls thus awakened by Me would not benefit from it either; furthermore, My servants themselves must appear as evidence of the truth of My word, they must visibly enliven My word through a way of life according to My will and the effect of it, for people shall be instructed by My servants, My word shall be proclaimed to them which comes directly to My servants from the spiritual kingdom, from the kingdom which is Mine and which I also want to prepare for people on earth in beatitude. The coming time will still bring many hardships and sufferings, and tormented people need comfort and strengthening and can only receive these through My word …. Therefore I must have representatives on earth who offer it to them, who first receive My word from Me and then pass it on unaltered so that it will not lose its strength, so that people can recognize that it is commanded by Me Myself. And these representatives of Mine must serve Me of their own free will, otherwise they cannot receive My precious gift themselves, for strength in this form can only be given to the one who opens himself and desires Me and My word. I Myself want to speak to people and only make use of a cover which, however, cannot forcibly become My abode but has to be offered to Me voluntarily. And only a few offer their services to Me, only a few shape themselves such that I can express Myself through their cover, only a few completely offer their will to Me and are willing to work as My instruments on earth. And the work in the coming time will increase in urgency and importance …. Thus I will also grant My protection to every individual who declares himself willing to do this work, so that he can work unhindered for Me as My representative on earth, who proclaims My word on My behalf in order to still save souls from destruction, in order to show them the path to Me so that they will not get lost forever. And thus I lovingly recruit co-workers for My kingdom, for I love all My living creations and want to help those who are in greatest spiritual adversity, but I also want to make those happy who are to convey the word to their fellow human beings on My behalf, who want to support Me in the redeeming activity on earth. They, too, have to go through hardship and suffering but they will never go without Me, they can constantly avail themselves of My strength which is available to them without measure. But those bear adversity and misery alone as long as they don’t turn to Me in prayer. And to bring them the knowledge about the blessing of prayer, about the strength of faith and about the attention of My love is a work of mercy which brings great blessings to My representatives on earth as well as to My suffering fellow human beings. The spiritual darkness is so great that not enough light can be brought into it, and therefore I need bearers of light who shall chase away the darkness with My help …. I need them and bless their activity, I protect them in every adversity and danger, for anyone who is in My service is, as it were, a labourer of the spiritual kingdom to whom earthly measures cannot harm, no matter how threatening they appear and worry him. Anyone who belongs to Me, who has united with Me through his will, also enjoys My protection as long as I require him for an office on earth which is exceedingly necessary and can have beneficial consequences, depending on people’s will. The last time has come and My servants must be exceedingly active, they must not allow themselves to be paralysed by earthly worries, they must not be deterred by earthly decrees …. I alone direct the destiny of all, but especially that of My co-workers on earth, in a way which is helpful and expedient for their mission. For countless souls on earth are in great need and shall be helped through you who want to serve Me and therefore can be certain of My blessing …. My blessing, however, means an everlasting supply of strength and grace, an everlasting willingness to help and an everlasting presence …. And thus you may expect every day without worry, you may devote yourselves to your spiritual work without worry and only wait for My call which you will clearly feel as such as soon as the hour of your activity for Me has come. For it will not be long before your mission begins …. that your work is only meant for Me, that your thoughts are only spiritually directed because I will judge all earthly things for you so that you can be unhindered in your activity in My name ….
Amen

Urgency and blessing of activity for the kingdom of God ….
B.D. 3689 from February 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
And everything you do for My glory, for the spreading of My teaching and the glorification of My name, will be blessed insofar as that it will not remain without impression on the still weak but not entirely hardened souls, and the smallest success signifies an escape of the souls from the enemy and a step closer to Me. And although you will mostly be rejected, although scorn and ridicule will be your share, individual souls will nevertheless find their way to Me, they will be lifted up by your strength of faith, they will strive to emulate you, they will take My word to heart which is conveyed to them through you, and they will also feel its strength in themselves, for I will help wherever I discover even the slightest will turned towards Me …. Your activity on earth will not be in vain, even if it seems so, for the word, which is planted as a seed in the seemingly dead soil, can take root in due course if the events, the earthly adversity, flow into the human being such that he no longer knows any other way out than to approach the one for help Who previously made Himself known to him in the word. And then your work was not in vain …. On My behalf you shall be active on earth in the last time before the end …. And when I give you, My servants, this commission you can also always be assured that I will not assign you any unsuccessful work, for the lord knows about the blessing of His servants’ work and in His wisdom He does not let them carry out work which is without any success. You should not worry about it and believe that you work uselessly, for I Myself work through you and I truly still draw sheep to Myself, for My voice is recognized as that of the shepherd, even if only by a few; yet for the sake of the few I send you forth to bring them salvation, because every soul is exceedingly dear to Me and I would like to save it from another earthly journey through the whole of creation. Moreover, even the hardened ones shall still be given the opportunity to find Me, for as long as the earth exists it shall serve the spiritual’s ascent development, thus the spiritual, which is embodied as a human being, must also be given the opportunity to find and recognize Me. In the end this can only happen through the transmission of My word, which is to be made accessible to them through you so that they cannot say that they have been unjustly condemned on the day of judgment. For only when they completely reject Me and declare war on Me and My servants will the hour have come when their measure is full and they are ripe for renewed banishment on the new earth. They must have reached the deepest depth of free will before I end their earthly course, before I reshape the earth itself in its creations because it no longer corresponds to its purpose …. And therefore your activity for My kingdom is absolutely necessary, for there must be people who announce to their fellow human beings on My behalf what is about to happen to earth, who speak what I put into their mouths so that every person can mentally deal with it and make use of what he hears. But I do not force the will …. But you shall be diligently active and I will bless you, I will be with you with My grace and strength until the end and introduce you into My kingdom, for a right servant is also worthy of his reward ….
Amen

Battle of light against darkness at the end ….
B.D. 3690 from February 18th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Understand and pay attention to the information given to you by My spirit: You are approaching a period which reveals both My will and might, My working on earth, as well as My adversary’s influence, for the battle between Me and him, the battle between light and darkness, will reach its climax because the end is near. You will be tossed to and fro like a plaything, both in a spiritual as well as an earthly way …. you will be besieged in order to confuse your thoughts and attitude, but at the same time My messengers will bring you tidings from Me …. you will also be plunged into earthly difficulties so that you will feel helpless and abandoned …. Yet one path will always be open to you, you will always be able to call upon the One for help in every spiritual and earthly adversity. And as long as this path is still open to you, you need not fear the forthcoming time. Satan’s influence will always be recognised everywhere, but so will My abundantly loving and merciful effect on all people who merely acknowledge Me, who do not forget about Me during the harshest time of battle and who therefore prompt Me to fight by their side, so that they will not be defeated by the enemy of their souls. Yet My adversary works with cunning and force …. He shrouds himself in a garment of the Messiah; he promises people earthly improvements and thereby entices gullible people into this net, who have so far been unable to detach their heart from worldly possessions. And the darkness will spread to a frightening extent, people everywhere will follow the deceptive light, they will bypass the true light and chase after a flame which does not emit light, which does not signify enlightenment in humanity’s spiritual darkness. And the bearers of light will be ignored; indeed, an attempt will even be made to extinguish their flame and, in so doing, to force the bearers of light to remain secret. But then I will provide My messengers with overwhelming strength so that they will nevertheless work freely and need not worry that the light will be extinguished ….
Then I will also obviously come to the fore, bestowing strength and grace when My Own suffer adversity, so that the battle of light against darkness will become clearly recognisable and My Own will know that the end is not far away. For the prospect of the end will allow them to endure everything, since then they will only wait for the fulfilment of My Word to see Me Myself coming in the clouds in order to deliver them from all adversity and to banish My opponent. And My grace and love will ease their earthly fate and make every tribulation bearable, for as soon as they fight for Me I will provide them with great strength on account of which they will be capable of offering Satan resistance and fearlessly put up with earthly threats, for I Myself will always stand by their side and, in certainty of that, they will remain faithful to Me until the end. I will come soon …. Satan will only work for a certain length of time, and I Myself will shorten the days so that My Own will be able to persevere …. However, because of this Satan will rage in a shocking manner, for he knows that his time of activity is only short …. he knows that he only has little time left …. But don’t be afraid, My faithful followers …. I announce this to you beforehand so that you can find strength of faith and inner peace in the truth of My Word, so that you can draw strength from My Word at any time and make heartfelt contact with Me, Who will not abandon you, neither on earth nor in eternity ….
Amen

Need and tribulation for the purification of the soul ….
B.D. 3691 from February 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
It is truly better for you to spend your days in adversity and hardship until the end than to end your earthly life in the comfort of your body only to have to accept a fate which means eternities of torment and indescribable hardship for you. Those who are afflicted by hardship in the last days will still be taken care of by Me in love and patience and I will try to save them from this hard fate. But those who pass away in carelessness and earthly wealth and do not belong to My own, their souls are incorrigible and they will receive the reward on this earth, if they have such to claim, or else they are in bondage to My adversary to such an extent that he also provides them with worldly goods. Therefore don’t grumble and complain, you who have to suffer, but only recognize My love in it, which constantly endeavours to win you, to save you from the downfall of souls, and which nevertheless cannot compulsorily change you so as not to endanger your free will. Even in suffering recognize Me and bear in mind that this time will also pass and try to derive the right benefit from it. And you will thank Me eternally if you have found entrance into My kingdom, which is the purpose of all suffering and hardship you have to endure. I have to attack you harshly because you will not let yourselves be pulled by My gentle hand, and if this hurts you, wake up and think about the meaning and purpose of the suffering …. Your lot on earth will only be difficult for a short time, for the time of the end has come. Let it be a blessing for you, let it become a saviour for you so that you will not have to walk the path through creation again, don’t just pay attention to the body’s hardship but think of your soul which is purified by the adversity, which can withdraw and achieve unity with its spirit if it is no longer prevented from doing so by the body. Don’t desire the world but only strive to attain the spiritual kingdom, for earthly life comes to an end but spiritual life lasts forever. And I want to make this accessible to you and shape you through suffering and hardship beforehand so that you can enter the spiritual kingdom after your demise. Humbly accept your fate, accept it from My hand, recognize Me even in adversity and hardship, know that nothing will come upon you without My will and that everything will serve you for the best if you don’t oppose Me yourselves, if you humbly and uncomplainingly endure everything I send upon you. For as soon as the soul has taken advantage of it I also relieve the body and make life more bearable for it. Yet the time until the end is short and still has to be utilized in every way, and if your souls are still opposed to Me and My love nevertheless does not want to let you fall, I have to try to change your will through suffering …. Recognize your sinfulness and repent by patiently taking the measure of suffering upon yourselves and thereby also bear part of the guilt which weighs upon you due to your sins …. And be grateful if I still give you the opportunity on earth to atone for them, for only through this can you enter My kingdom purified and cleansed, if you pass the final test and become Mine while still on earth ….
Amen

Earthly precautions against the disaster are futile ….
B.D. 3692 from February 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
You must completely detach yourselves from the world if My strength is to permeate you and you want to become aware of it. And thus even in hours of anxious adversity you will only be full of strength if you are able to ignore all earthly happenings and completely hand yourselves over to Me with your thoughts. And I will take particularly good care of those who try to find this intimate bond during hours of greatest earthly adversity for they demonstrate their faith in Me, which I will never disappoint. You yourselves are unable to avert whatever I send upon you, hence all efforts you make to safeguard your physical well-being will therefore be in vain. You will gain far more by focussing your mind on Me and faithfully wait for My help, for it will result in certain success, and I will protect your body and soul because you believe in Me. Prior to manifesting Myself through the forces of nature I will still send you unmistakable signs that a disaster is approaching, and then remember My Words …. Collect yourselves in prayer and only pay attention to your spiritual welfare, don’t worry about your body, just try to establish heartfelt contact with Me so that I will be able to affect and guide you unhindered without finding resistance through earthly diversion, which weakens the working of My spirit or even makes it impossible. Make no attempt for the maintenance of the body, for that which I want to keep alive will also stay alive, and that which you should lose cannot be protected by your will. I know what you need, just as I know what impedes your souls’ further development.
And therefore leave it to Me to care for you, for your earthly possessions and only consider your soul, because you don’t know whether it will be your last hour too …. I announce Myself in advance because in My love I still want to give you ample opportunity to make contact with the spiritual kingdom, with Me, Who holds every individual person’s destiny in My hand and guides it as is best for you. Anyone who unites with Me has found the safest protection and truly will not need any other earthly protective measures which can become worthless in an instant. For again I want to manifest Myself evidently, I want to make Myself apparent to My Own in order to reinforce their faith, to teach them to become true labourers for My kingdom, which they shall become afterwards. Don’t worry for I will take care of you; only heed My Words of love and let your heart respond to them. And remind your fellow human beings to conduct themselves in the same way, caution them against overzealous precautions for their earthly welfare and also appeal to them to faithfully turn to Me and commend themselves body and soul to Me. And anyone who heeds your Words will be miraculously guided according to his strength of faith. Therefore don’t fear anything no matter what happens, even if you are in a most dangerous situation …. My arm extends far and wide to help as well as to destroy …. Whomever I want to keep alive will remain alive, and whomever I want to destroy will be unable to save himself …. he should only make sure that his soul will not fall pray to darkness, then he will be saved for eternity ….
Amen

Circle of light of the divine sun of grace ….
B.D. 3693 from February 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 47
And if My sun of grace is to illuminate you, you must follow the shine of light which again and again shines into the darkness …. Seek the exit of the light, approach the source where I am active as the eternal light Myself, where the light constantly flows forth in all abundance, where the sun of the spirit shines and sends its rays out into the darkness …. Seek to enter the circle of light of its emanation and let yourselves be warmed up, let yourselves glow through until you yourselves have become bearers of light, until you have been illuminated into the furthest corner of your heart and all darkness has been banished from it. My love is constantly ready to bring you light, to change the night of the spirit into brightest day, and thus I constantly let My sun of grace shine, and everyone can let its beneficent strength take effect on him if only he wants it. But you yourselves must desire the light, you must seek it, pursue its glow, because only your will will also let you feel the benefit of the rays, because you must not flee the rays but expose yourselves to them in order to feel their strength. Only then will you live, whereas before you were dead in spirit …. Only then will you be able to be active for your spiritual well-being, for life in eternity, whereas before you are condemned to inactivity in darkness and earthly time passes by uselessly, i.e. without advantage for the soul and its life in eternity. For it enters the kingdom of the beyond dead in spirit, it remains in the same darkness as on earth, since it ignored My sun of grace and thus could not be awakened to life either. Every person is granted the right to walk in the light on earth, but if he prefers darkness I will not force him to step into the light, yet his remorse will be unspeakably painful one day when the soul realizes which gift of grace it has disregarded, in which abundance of light and strength it could have stood if it had used its will correctly. To flee from the light is a sin against the spirit …. For the light emanates from the eternal father-spirit, it is the emanation of Myself which I want to give to all My children on earth and therefore kindle a little light everywhere, let My sun of grace shine everywhere in order to entice them to enter their circle of light …. I offer them the most delicious in My love, I seek to change the darkness of their souls into brightest light …. Yet they do not recognize the father’s love and reject it …. They harm themselves and also commit a sin against Me if they reject My gift of love …. the light which is offered to them from the heavens, the sun which lets My love shine in order to make My children on earth happy. But anyone who prefers darkness will have to live in it for eternities until he is granted the grace again he spurned. For his will must also become active in the beyond if a glimmer of light shines for him, but this will be far more difficult for him than on earth. As long as the light is not desired it cannot take effect on the soul, and the night of the spirit will not leave it. For if My love is disregarded the soul will have to live in want, and it will experience the darkness as torment from which it cannot escape of its own strength ….
Amen

The future fate of the soul corresponds to its desires ….
B.D. 3694 from February 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47
You shall receive what you desire. I will always give you what you want, more or less perceptible to you, but if your wishes are apparently not granted on earth and you don’t abandon them, they will be granted to you in the spiritual realm …. You will even receive material goods but they will torture you until you change and turn your desire towards spiritual wealth or, if you are stubborn, until you are once again constrained in hardest matter; thus serving you as an external form which you had refused to forsake. If, however, I hesitate to fulfil your desire then only due to My profound love for you because you, as My living creations, should overcome that particular desire to achieve happiness. But if your longing takes a spiritual direction, if it applies to eternal values which flow (originate) from and lead you to the spiritual realm I will not hesitate long in giving you what you strive for …. because I always and forever grant spiritual wealth and I Am not prudent with anyone who asks for it. This longing is pleasing to Me and corresponds to the meaning and purpose of earthly life, it is the goal which you should reach on earth …. to strive for My kingdom ….
And thus your determination always prepares its own fate in the beyond; you shall receive what you strive for but you will never remain ignorant of what you should endeavour to achieve: to do justice to My will and to acquire eternal bliss for yourselves. But you have free will. Even the apparent denial of granting your wishes does not compel your will since you nevertheless remain free to uphold your desire or to re-direct it towards another goal; however, in the end your desire is decisive as to what reward you will receive. Time on earth is short and by refusing to give you what you want I Am only giving you the opportunity to change your mind because My love wants to help you become blessed. And therefore no one will be able to complain on the last day, on the day of Judgment, that he was given what was contrary to his desire …. anyone whose mind is directed towards the spirit and who therefore desires Me as the Highest Spirit of heaven and earth will be accepted into the spiritual realm; anyone who was unable to free himself from the realm of matter because his will rejected Me and thus he was weak will be banished into the realm of matter. Only the will is decisive because the strength to accomplish his will is at everyone’s disposal, I will helpfully stand by everyone whenever I notice even the smallest change of will, but no human being shall be guided to a kingdom against his will if it does not correspond to his innermost desire. And thus the meaning and purpose of your earthly life is to change your will, to withdraw it from earthly matter and make it inclined towards spiritual values and I will not refuse any appeal for help, I will give you strength in abundance to liberate yourselves completely and enter the spiritual kingdom unburdened to become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Obvious work of the spirit connected with mission ….
B.D. 3695 from February 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47
If you were always devoted to Me, inspired by the will to serve Me and to work for My kingdom on earth, if this is necessary, then you would also be My children in truth and full of the spirit which always and constantly instructs you …. But thus there are only a few who allow the working of the spirit within themselves precisely through their will, which, however, does not exclude the fact that the rest of you would also be able to do so if you endeavour to do what I announce to you through those …. if you shape yourselves into love of your own free will and participate in the redemption of erring souls on earth. My spirit indeed works in many people if only they make themselves worthy of My working, yet it is only recognizable to fellow human beings in the form of regular instructions if the person is to be trained for an activity on My behalf …. if he is called to an office on earth, if he is to work for My kingdom …. For then he must first be introduced to knowledge, because it is his task to spread truth …. A person who lives in My will and always practices unselfish neighbourly love can also clearly feel the pure truth within himself, it can be in him as mental knowledge, because this, too, is the working of My spirit, that I order a person’s thinking, that I guide it into the right direction, as soon as he, too, belongs to My own through a pleasing way of life. Yet this way of thinking will always completely correspond to the eternal truth which I impart to those who shall work as My servants on earth in the last days before the end. For the truth always and forever remains the same, and all who strive to live in My will and work tirelessly on the transformation of their being, all who strive for perfection and appeal to Me for My assistance, will also be able to ascertain agreement of their thoughts, because this is My spirit’s working. But if the working of the spirit is evident then it is also linked to a mission, then I educate the human being for a wider sphere of activity. And every serious will to participate in the act of salvation, to bring help to fellow human beings in greatest spiritual adversity, will also result in an increased overflow of My spiritual strength, because I bless everyone who offers himself to Me for this work, who wants to help build up My kingdom and is willing to take up the fight against the power which seeks to bring ruin to weak souls …. I can only express Myself through the mouth of a human being because otherwise My activity would mean a compulsion of faith. And therefore I fill all with My spirit who want to let Me speak through them …. And this must be an explanation to you who take offence at the fact that I express Myself in isolation and not where you first expect My activity …. I require other conditions to be fulfilled in order to be able to work through My spirit. But where these conditions are fulfilled I am also obviously recognizable …. And these are My conditions from which I never ever deviate in order to pour out My spirit in all fullness: …. That you are active in unselfish love …. that you entrust yourselves to Me in order to work for My kingdom …. that you believe in My obvious working, in a direct connection with Me, and that you believe that I come to you in the word Myself and that you can hear Me in your heart …. that you therefore listen within and wait for My word …. that you completely detach yourselves from the world, close yourselves off and commune with Me in silence, otherwise you will not be able to hear the subtle voice of the spirit …. that you therefore believe without doubt in the working of My spirit within you …. And if I keep you worthy, if I recognize your earnest will, you will feel Me, My strength of spirit and love, which enlightens you and constantly draws you to Me. And My spirit will overflow you, brightly and clearly you will recognize the truth, I will instruct you and train you for your activity on earth, and you will be blessed to be allowed to serve Me ….
Amen

Violation of eternal law …. Temptations ….
B.D. 3696 from February 24th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
If you make a very serious effort to live in accordance with My will that has been made known to you, you will always experience a condition of psychological distress if you have done wrong, if you have offended against My commandment of love. And this is your unmistakable sign that you have to return to My eternal order to find inner peace again. My order only comprises actions of love and all unkindness is contrary to it. A loving heart and one that thus fulfils My commandments is not restless or timid because it finds peace in Me and cannot step out of the eternal order, i.e. it cannot act unkindly. But it will not be without temptations either since My adversary always endeavours to bring disorder where order rules, to bring disorder to a peaceful heart and to deprive it of its strength by influencing its volition and thinking. And these temptations have to be obstinately resisted, the tempter must not triumph but the human being should triumph by not allowing himself to be driven to unkind actions, words and thoughts …. This is a difficult fight with the tempter but easily won with My help. The strength of love always has to be stronger, the fortitude of soul always has to come to light where physical weakness is apparent. With a sincere call to Me the human being must hand himself over to Me so that I represent his cause and he is relieved of all responsibility …. The human being should not forget about Me …. he must remember Me in times of spiritual and worldly distress so that I can take care of everything that disheartens him, that happens to him, and that he therefore need never succumb to the tempter. You, My servants on earth, will often be tried and have to stand firm if you want to progress. You will have to negotiate obstacles and need much strength; however, My strength is at your disposal too if you want, just don’t forget about Me. Don’t allow the tempter to push Me away because your will is the deciding factor as to who takes possession of you …. don’t give him the prerogative but stand next to Me at all times and he will flee from you because he cannot endure My presence. But if you become weak he will have power over you and won’t rest until you have committed an offence against the eternal order …. until you have fallen and then need strength again to get up. I Am not angry with you but caution you because a lot of your strength will be lost, which you either didn’t ask for or didn’t need to return to the previous order but which you could have used to progress had you not fallen. Therefore remain strong in spirit, don’t allow the adversary to gain power over you, hold on to Me at all times and I will guide you through all temptations without damage to your soul because if you fight with Me you will win every battle ….
Amen

Human commandments …. Neighbourly love …. God's commandment ….
B.D. 3697 from February 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Human commandments cannot further your soul’s maturity because I assess a person’s will to live in a way that pleases Me, by applying the commandments which I gave to him in wise recognition of their effectiveness. If human commandments conform to My commandment of love, that is, if they merely aim to inspire the human being to love, so that abiding by them will result in the practice of unselfish love for other people, then they also meet My approval, because the working of My spirit in people who initiated such commandments is evident. However, any other commandment is of no value before Me nor do I take any notice of its fulfilment because you should use the whole flow of life-energy for deeds of love in order to achieve maturity of soul on earth. Your goal should be to become perfect …. But how can you become perfect without love? ….
How can you expect a flow of mercy by observing commandments whose failure of fulfilment is not an offence against love? Your love for your fellow human beings demonstrates your love for Me, your God and Father of eternity. Anyone lacking love for his fellow human beings also lacks the right kind of love for Me, which would urge him to do neighbourly deeds of love. If you pretend that you, with love for Me, observe the commandments which demand various external actions, I will not acknowledge such love since they are mere formalities which you observe to secure yourselves rewards promised by people …. They are not actions of love by which alone you demonstrate your hearts’ love to Me, by which alone you can become blessed. All external formalities, everything recognisable on the surface has not Mine, but human will as its originator …. Only unselfish love for other people pleases Me, although this, too, necessitates external deeds …. I do not expect you to pretend to do something out of love for Me if it is not based on My commandment of love. I only want the fulfilment of this commandment and sincere prayer as the expression of a will devoted to Me …. Only then can you gain privileges of mercy and strength, for there are no other means of grace than prayer and unselfish love …. In that case, however, you will receive in abundance. Your entire life should be an internal one without pretentiousness, yet outwardly you should declare Me; you should confess My teaching, which you must endeavour to follow; you should openly admit to the world your faith in Me, in My name and My act of Salvation, that is, you should speak to your fellow human beings so that they know your thoughts and that your aspirations do not relate to the physical world but to the spiritual realm ….
You should prove yourselves as my followers, as My rightful children, whose way of life corresponds to the requirements which I have placed upon you and continue to place upon you with My Word, which is transmitted from above to those mediators who shall reveal My will to you …. If you want to live in accordance with My will then your actions have to be continuous labours of love by which I will later judge you in eternity …. and not external gestures and actions which are of no benefit to your soul but which rather make the human being careless in observing the only important commandment …. to love selflessly ….
Amen

God's Word reflects the spirit of love ….
B.D. 3698 from February 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Recognise the spirit of love speaking to you through My Word …. Consider that you are spiritually weak, that you certainly carry Me within yourselves as a very tiny spark but that this spiritual spark will continue to rest dormant in you until you awaken it through acts of love. The Father-Spirit speaks to you with Words of love in order to awaken love in you, so that you will activate your indwelling spiritual spark and give life to it through love. Once you have gained realisation you will also understand why I constantly remind you to love, yet those of you who are still spiritually blind must first pay attention to the fact that every Word you hear through My servants on earth was given by Me with love and shall motivate you to love. Were you able to say that even one of My Words lacks love, you could be forgiven for not having accepted it. Yet every Word must prove to you the love of the Giver, every Word must testify to Me as the eternal Love Which only wants to regain what it had lost through heartlessness. And I only want to win you back because My love wants to make you blissfully happy for all eternity. Time and again I point your wretchedness out to you, your imperfect state, which cannot make you happy and which I want to resolve. And since only love is able to do so I incessantly preach love to you and remind you with each one of My Words, that you can only shape yourselves through love into blissfully happy creatures which are indescribably happy when they are close to the Father, the eternal Love. As soon as you have gained the conviction that all My Words are given with love, that they merely draw attention to love, you will also have to recognise their origin, you will have to regard My Word as the outpouring of Myself, as a work of love for the sinful human race in order to provide it with help. And if you recognise the spirit in My Word, you will soon also recognise Me, it will no longer be incomprehensible to you that I speak to you Myself, for love brings forth wisdom. If you allow the Words of love to take effect in you, then you will soon comply with them, and then you will also think correctly, you will become knowledgeable, recognise the immense truth inherent in My Word and thus also learn to recognise and love Me ever more profoundly. But this serious examination has to be conducted by you of your own free will …. you must ask yourselves, if My Word is offered to you, whether the spirit of love speaks through it …. You cannot be forced into asking this question, it must arise of your own free will, for this proves your will for truth, for right understanding. And you will receive an answer, the spirit of love itself will speak inside of you and aim to influence your heart and, providing you are willing, not without success. Truth exists where you can recognise love, for love is divine and can only originate from the eternal Love. Those of you who doubt the truth of My Word should bear this in mind. You may accept without hesitation what is inherent in the spirit of love, and you need never fear to be led astray by this spirit, for God is the source of love, and the goal of love is God …. And you will always reach Me if you allow yourselves to be drawn by My love, which approaches you in the Word time and again, which can be recognised in every one of My Words by anyone who wants to recognise it ….
Amen

Belief in the immortality of the soul …. Truth ….
B.D. 3699 from February 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
The death of the body is not the end of the soul. People fail to realise and believe this and therefore do not evaluate earthly life in accordance with My Will. They more or less only care for the needs of their body but not for their soul …. they behave irresponsibly towards their soul because they are not certain of its existence and of its immortality. For that reason they have to be taught about the immortality of soul first if your efforts to modify their way of life should be successful. But a belief in this also requires their own reflection which requires their own will and which cannot be compelled. The immortality of soul makes the meaning and purpose of earthly life understandable, and only then is it possible for the human being to change himself, to regard the life of the soul more important than the life of the body.
Humanity is confronted by two major dangers …. disbelief in the soul and its immortality, and misguided teachings. The latter are a hindrance to spiritual ascent even to those who believe in the immortality of soul, because they portray a wrong image of the eternal Deity and because people usually neglect to implement one thing …. to establish a sincere relationship with Me either mentally or by means of the right kind of prayer …. Only this will guarantee their spiritual ascent because then I will be able to become effective Myself. Thus My servants’ most important work on earth relates to the eradication of misguided teachings and the awakening of faith in a continuation of life after death …. And people will have to listen to My servants if they want to be successful during the brief time on earth which remains to them before the end. They will only be able to obtain completely truthful explanations where such are sent down from heaven; they can only be taught about the soul’s life after death and the teaching of Christ by Myself either directly or indirectly, but then their faith can become a convinced one that will stand firm against all contentions, which ensures spiritual ascent and brings the soul everlasting life in blissful happiness. Otherwise the fate of the soul is unhappiness, because it will never cease to exist and yet it is in a state in eternity which it has voluntarily created for itself due to its disbelief and an earthly life in opposition to My Will.
Anyone who firmly believes in the immortality of the soul will start the work of improving his soul much sooner, but the person who believes that his life will end with the death of his body remains indifferent and lethargic or totally incapable and unwilling. You, My servants, cannot describe to them the soul’s continuation of life seriously enough, even though you cannot prove it to them. Yet with serious thought the human being can come to the inner conviction that you spoke the truth because I Myself will help them to recognise the truth providing they genuinely want it and do not refuse to listen to you. Earthly life takes on an entirely different meaning for the believer; he no longer perceives it as an end in itself but only as a means to an end and reproaches his own way of life which he subsequently tries to improve, depending on his strength of will. And as soon as he is presented with the pure truth his faith will be strengthened while misguided teachings will only destroy him and let him relapse into darkness …. Thus the truth must be spread to bring life to the souls, because misconceptions and lies are the soul’s death in the spiritual kingdom but not it’s passing away, it merely means complete weakness and is therefore a state of severe distress which I would like to avert from the soul by sending My messengers to bring help before it is too late ….

Thought transmission from the spiritual kingdom ….
B.D. 3700 from February 28th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Every idea is a spiritual emanation, it can merely originate from different sources, i.e. it can be transmitted to you humans from the kingdom of light but also from the kingdom of darkness, it all depends on your will. As expected, the kingdom of light will radiate truth, whereas the kingdom of darkness will transmit entirely earthly, material thoughts to people with the intention to spread them. From an earthly point of view, mental activity is indeed the function of organs, but they actually only receive and process the transmissions from the spiritual kingdom which affect the organs. Because the origin of every thought will always be found in spiritual spheres, since the work of the spiritual kingdom’s inhabitants is to influence people mentally, and thus they endeavour to pass on their own ideals to people. And thus valuable but also worthless, even harmful, ideas can flow from this kingdom, and it is up to the human being himself to evaluate the importance of what he receives …. By using his will he can guide his thoughts into the right or the wrong direction, and the beings in the spiritual realm will always eagerly support his will. The human being has to be informed how he can contact the beings of light if he wants to acquire pure truth, if he wants his thoughts to be right, just as he should be informed of the cause of wrong thinking in order to protect himself from it. Hence he has to be taught that the transmission of mental concepts from the spiritual realm is the result of his conduct, which is more or less in accordance with God’s will and thus more or less induces the beings of the spiritual kingdom to hand out truth or untruth ….
Just as the human being’s will behaves towards God the spiritual beings’ behave towards the human being, and this is reflected in the transmission of spiritual knowledge, in thoughts and the intelligence of the human being. Because the beings of light are only able to come into contact with people who give themselves to God, who aspire towards God, or the influence from the kingdom of light against his will would inhibit the human being’s will. Whereas the forces of darkness can likewise only get access to those of God-opposing will and who show this in their heartless behaviour, thinking and talking. Because these beings’ influence is powerful but only effective if the human being abandons himself to them. However, if his will is turned towards God he can protect himself at any time from these forces by calling upon the beings of light and by requesting God’s help. This person’s thinking will always be guided right because the beings of light will not meet with opposition as they impart their spiritual knowledge to him.
The forces of darkness usually try to draw people’s thoughts towards earthly matters and to prevent their desire for spiritual knowledge, or to distort it and then offer it infiltrated by lies and errors so that they find themselves in complete ignorance and falsehood, because every spiritual being only gives what it has itself …. The kingdom of darkness will never offer the truth since, due to their obstinate will, no light is shining for the beings. These forces will always endeavour to maintain a person’s materialistic attitude, and they will always meet with his approval as long as his will is not turned towards God. People’s thinking will only be right and their ideas only correspond to the truth where the beings of light are able to work. And thus God’s most important commandment has to be fulfilled first …. the human being has to live with love …. Only then can he also tell his fellow human beings that his mental concepts are true and from the realm of light. Only then will he fulfil the first condition given by God so that he can guide people into truth himself and he need never fear to go astray, i.e. live in error, because he is then under the direct influence of the beings of light who work on behalf of God by transmitting wisdom to those who finally have relinquished their resistance to God ….

God’s spiritual and physical care for His Own ….
B.D. 3701 from March 1st 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Whatever you require will be given to you by My love, all depending on need and belief …. but first I will consider your souls. Therefore, I will occasionally refuse to give something to your body, so that it will not stop the soul from receiving spiritual knowledge. For when the body receives little the soul can be more receptive, since it will recognise its human weakness and lack of strength when it does not receive its strength from above. However, an obstinate soul can also ignore the right kind of knowledge, it can descend into a state of total inactivity and only pay attention to the body and its needs, in which case the body’s suffering will be in vain. However, My love will use this method as long as there is the slightest chance that the soul will take the right path and turn to Me with its request for help. But a devout person who always places his trust in Me will not be left in worldly hardship, even though it will affect him too for his own and his fellow human being’s sake, because his sincerity of prayer to Me should increase, the connection with Me should gradually take place more often, since the need of the time necessitates it, spiritually as well as worldly. I will take care of My Own, and the more they believe in Me, the kinder I will be, but even My Own will at times feel their bodies’ distress for their own benefit. Because My often miraculous help, My loving care, will bring them increasingly closer to Me and thus intensify their strength and faith. The approaching time will be hard for humanity and only bearable with firm belief in Me and My constant willingness to help.
But I will not place an intolerable burden on you …. I will help as soon as you yourselves want to be helped and make it known by fulfilling My will. I want to eradicate your selfishness, I want you to become sensitive to your fellow human beings’ plight, and if you endeavour to change in accordance with My will, I shall not let you perish in the distress of your body and soul. For although humanity wants to doubt Me, although it constantly questions My whereabouts because I allow misery and hardship to happen …. I will become evident to My Own and time and again will help them …. Thus every human being should endeavour to belong to My Own, to believe in Me, i.e. acknowledge My love, omnipotence and wisdom, to trust in Me and comply with My commandment of love …. Then he will feel My presence, he will be able to convince himself of My loving guidance, because My love will seize him and I will carry his burden on his behalf and he will live …. worldly, for as long as it is destined for him, and eternally …. Because My Own can never become lost or be without strength. And they will always receive strength and grace, I will fortify them spiritually and worldly and give them what is needed by body and soul. For I gave people My Word that I shall provide for them like a father for his children, and My Word is truth and will remain so for all eternity ….
Amen

Transmission of truth from the realm of light ….
B.D. 3702 from March 2nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47
The light shines from above …. The light can never come from below, it can only ever shine into the abyss, and darkness can never be transmitted to earth from the regions above, it can only ever come from the abyss, from the realm of darkness which, in contrast to the realm of light, only harbours dark beings to whom the light has to be sent first. But neither happiness nor bliss will ever be found in darkness, whereas everything in the realm of light is blissfully active and this activity concerns itself solely with the spreading of light. Light, however, is truth, light is the recognition of the eternal Deity, the knowledge of His will, of His work …. Furthermore, light is the knowledge of the correlation between all visible things, of the relationship between the creations with their Creator, light is the knowledge of the meaning and purpose of God’s work, the knowledge of the task and goal of all spiritual beings …. Light is the recognition of the eternal truth from God …. And this knowledge can only be sent from above to the beings on earth as well as to the fallen spirits in the beyond from the kingdom that is governed by God, where everything is inspired by love and permeated by God’s strength. Here is the origin of truth, of right knowledge, and not in the abyss where, due to lack of strength and light, the spreading of truth is impossible, where the spiritual beings’ strength only consists of scattering error and lies, because this strength emanates from the prince of lies who wants to replace the truth and therefore God.
But where truth is taught it also had to be received from above, it had to originate from the kingdom which is full of light and strength …. The recipient of truth has to aspire to ascend, his thoughts need to be directed towards God, thus towards good, his will and his actions have to show justice, and the right relationship with God has to be established through heart-felt, humble prayer, then light will flow down from the kingdom of light. Because every person’s good will is seized and used for the human being’s spiritual progress by the beings whose sole activity consists of releasing the bound spirits, the ignorant and thus those who live in darkness, and this can only happen through the transmission of light, of pure truth from above. Such will is never ignored, but neither can a human being be guided into truth against his will. Due to most people’s God-opposing will earth is engulfed in deepest darkness. And yet, lights are flashing everywhere because the beings of light are actively fighting darkness everywhere. Every human heart that sends its questions into eternity with the desire for light, for clarification about God, about meaning and purpose of earthly life, is, by its thoughts, making itself receptive to these beings who can give him complete illumination, who also instantly ignite a tiny light in him, who guide his thoughts into the right direction, who try to influence him into communicating increasingly more with the spiritual kingdom.
And thus rays of light are shining everywhere into the spiritual darkness covering the earth because God, the eternal light, is always willing to transmit it into every heart ready to receive it. Hence it follows that God will also always take care of the distribution of pure truth, because it is His aim to fully enlighten every spiritual essence, to completely dispel the darkness and to carry the light into the realm of darkness in order to bring about a change in the spirits there too, so that they, too, will be able to reach the state of bliss one day, which necessitates pure truth …. the light from heaven …. which disperses all darkness. The light shines from above and only truth can come from above …. And thus the human being inevitably has to strive to ascend in order to receive light in abundance. For although the light shines down to earth it can only touch people who lift their willing hearts to God and, by living their lives in accordance with God’s will, shape themselves into a vessel for the reception of His light, the pure truth. Then, however, the Eternal Truth will be working there Himself, It will distribute truth without end, It will permeate the human heart with its light and drive out all spiritual darkness ….

Call upon God's help is indispensable in the last days ….
B.D. 3703 from March 3rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Henceforth you shall always have to request My help in earthly as well as in spiritual hardship if you don’t want to succumb in your struggle for existence. Admittedly, you can also emerge victoriously without appealing for My help, but in that case you are already under the influence of My adversary who is giving you strength to overcome but claims your souls in exchange for payment. To be fortified by this strength in future will cause you immense damage since you will lose yourselves in the kingdom of darkness for an eternity, you will trade this short time of strength with an eternity of weakness during which you will have to suffer enormously due to your failure not to have asked for My help. The approaching time is only endurable with My support, with My contribution of strength and thus without danger for your souls. And yet it is up to you whether you want to call upon Me. The severe hardship should prompt you but I Myself won’t compel you to do so, by way of hardship I only want to encourage you to contact Me, since otherwise I cannot transmit strength to you. Life will be difficult and painful for each and everyone who does not carry Me in his heart ….
But you will find relief when you turn to Me for help. My love shall help you endure, it helps every person who faithfully trusts in Me, because the severe hardship has to affect humanity for its own sake, as the last resort to win them over to Me and My kingdom. I want to make their hearts receptive to My Word, and thus the severe hardship will still accomplish My aim, namely that they hunger for a Word of comfort, for an explanation of their adversity, and that they then seriously consider My Word in their hearts and with good will can recognise Me. For there are many misguided souls who have missed the right path, who shall be led back by My Word, which reveals to them the truth in its fullness. Although the suffering will also close many hearts to My Word and they cannot be opened by force, but blessed be the one who endures without approaching My adversary for help in terms of unkindness towards other people and bad thoughts and speech, because he will be apparently helped by him and provided with all manner of support to win him over completely. Don’t try to improve your earthly life with renewed unkindness, accept your fate patiently and humbly, and come to Me …. I shall always help you if only you request My help, if only you find the way to Me and humbly bow before Me and entrust yourselves to My mercy.
I will never send a sincerely pleading person away without help, you all have to acquire this trust if the severe hardship is to be endurable for you. You can always be certain of My loving care when you deliver yourselves to Me, when you acknowledge Me and thus do not exclude Me from your thoughts …. But anyone who fails to do so is in dire psychological difficulty which only his own will can lessen. Time is short and shall become ever more apparent as the end time because Satan works visibly, he impels human beings into actions of most blatant cruelty, which always results in earthly hardship and suffering, and he poisons people’s thoughts where he does not meet resistance with a will that is turned towards Me. And human beings should beware because now the last test of earthly life needs to be won; they should open their eyes to the signs of the time, to the conduct of human beings who are clearly ruled from below, and also observe the work from above …. they should listen to My Word’s messengers who can give comprehensive clarification about meaning and purpose of the final severe hardship and about the eternal plan of Salvation, which has to take its course as it is destined and My wisdom has deemed appropriate since eternity …. They should pay heed to their warnings and reminders, and the arduous time will pass by everyone endurably who is of good will and calls upon Me in need ….
Amen

Spiritual rebirth ….
B.D. 3704 from March 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Spiritual rebirth is the human being’s objective on earth, otherwise the soul will also be without life when the body dies, but since it is immortal it cannot entirely fade away. Spiritual rebirth means life for the soul, but life for the soul without spiritual rebirth is impossible. However, the human being will be spiritually reborn when he seeks contact with the spiritual realm of his own accord. The human soul is no longer content with the body’s life, but it cannot find fulfilment of its desire in the earthly world either and aspires towards the realm to which it really belongs, and depending on the sincerity of its will the human being will be reborn sooner or later. Kind-hearted activity is absolutely necessary for the attainment of spiritual rebirth, since this revives the person’s spirit. Through actions of love the dormant spiritual spark within the soul unites with the eternal Father-Spirit, it becomes active, and activity is life …. If, by his deeds of love, the human being gives the spiritual spark within himself the opportunity to become active, he will have become spiritually reborn and can no longer descend into the state of death. Once the spirit is awakened it will never disregard him, it will constantly influence its surrounding shell, i.e. the spirit will influence the soul and through it also the human being’s body, urging him into kind-hearted actions and thereby advancing the soul’s higher development. Spiritual rebirth cannot be intellectually achieved, neither will nor words can make it happen, only a will that is put into action results in it, and these actions need to be deeds of unselfish love for other people. A person’s spirit will only come alive through love, it will only move into action through deeds of love, and thus only through love can the soul achieve eternal life, which is the consequence of spiritual rebirth. But anyone who has love also lives in constant contact with the Eternal Love, and thus the eternal Father-Spirit will also constantly influence the spiritual spark in the human being …. Eternal Love will draw to Itself what is striving to shape itself into love …. And then there will be no more death for the soul …. Then there will only be life, i.e. uninterrupted activity in strength and light; then the shackle of death has been removed, then death has been conquered ….
Hence a spiritually reborn person will never fear his body’s death because his soul knows the transience of all earthly things as well as the immortality of everything in the spiritual realm, it does not fear its earthly death because its eternal life is guaranteed. It does not merely believe in the soul’s life after the death of the body but it has become certain of it, because it is instructed by the revived spirit, because the knowledge it receives from the spirit results in profound conviction …. Hence its faith has become unwavering because it carries the evidence within itself …. the awakened spirit, which is part of the eternal Father-Spirit. A spiritually reborn human being has no further doubt in regards to spiritual knowledge, because the working of the spirit within him also includes ever-increasing understanding, recognition of the eternal Deity and His reign and activity, as well as the knowledge of God’s eternal plan of Salvation …. His imparted knowledge is not mere faith, since the wisdom of what is presented to him is so self-evident in the eyes of the spiritually reborn person that he needs no further evidence but he is fully convinced of its truth, which he can now call his own mental concept because his heart and intellect have absorbed it. Therefore the spiritually reborn person need no longer search, through love he has found what he was looking for. Thus love is the key to wisdom, and wisdom is knowledge which corresponds to truth, which emanates from and leads back to the spiritual kingdom ….
However, a human being can only be reborn in spirit if his soul ignores the body and merely strives to bring the spirit to life who, thus, even if unaware of success, relinquishes what the body desires of his own accord, in order to give it to those who suffer hardship and are in need of spiritual or worldly help. Giving away worldly goods for the sake of selfless love will bring him spiritual wealth. However, distributing spiritual wealth will result in immense growth within himself, because God’s spirit can then work in the human being without restriction, He will give truth, which signifies eternal life …. Life, however, is uninterrupted activity …. The spiritually reborn person can no longer be inactive, but will then diligently work for the kingdom of God …. he will take part in Christ’s act of Salvation for erring souls on earth, because the spirit in him does not rest, like his eternal Father-Spirit it is always and forever active …. And thus spiritual rebirth will always result in the human being feeling urged to work for the spiritual kingdom. He will take little notice of worldly life but keep his attention constantly focussed on spiritual life in the knowledge of its importance and in the desire to help where understanding is lacking. Because the spiritually reborn person knows of the darkness on earth, of the lack of strength in people who attach too much importance to worldly life. He knows of the souls’ hardship, of their spiritual death even on earth and one day in eternity, where they are far more conscious of their helpless state, where it is an agonising state for them and the soul can no longer be helped if it continues to reject all advice as it had done on earth. The spiritually reborn human being is aware of his mission and will follow it with love and eagerness. He radiates light, and good for him who is not offended by this light …. good for him who takes notice of the person who wants to bring him light, who seeks to awaken him into life too …. Spiritual rebirth can be recognised by everyone who is spiritually orientated, because true wisdom is recognisable by every willing person, because where there is will the spirit’s strength gets activated.
Let your spirit come to life and you will have reached the goal on earth which you were given in the beginning. As soon as the soul detaches itself from the body you will enter the spiritual kingdom with a wealth of strength and knowledge, and all you will leave behind is immature matter which has not yet spiritualised itself on earth …. But you yourselves will enter the realm of the blissful spirits in a free state and nothing will deter you from actively forming and creating, for the love in you will prompt you to do so and cause a state of bliss in you which you are unable to comprehend on earth. Because you will be able to unite with the eternal Father-Spirit Who will draw His children to Himself with burning love to make them eternally happy ….
Amen

The disciple’s teaching ministry before the end ….
B.D. 3705 from March 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
If you want to teach you must carry Me in your heart so that I can work through you, so that I can place the Words in your mouth and, in this way, you will always state what is right in My name. Hence you should never proclaim My Word for the sake of earthly success, instead, the love in your heart must impel you to do so, for I Am love Itself, and if you feel love for your fellow human beings and want to help them escape their spiritual adversity you will also carry Me Myself within yourselves. Then your teaching activity will be blessed and you will be more or less successful, depending on your fellow human being’s willingness to love. Once again I Am sending you into the world as My disciples in order to spread the teaching of love …. because people’s spiritual as well as worldly happiness depends on observing and complying with it. The commandment of love must therefore be emphatically proclaimed, which therefore requires determined, faithful and utterly devoted servants to Me on earth, who feel that they are My disciples, who have accepted wisdom from Me, who are lovingly active themselves and can therefore work as My tools on earth …. who can proclaim My will wherever their feet take them. They shall teach, i.e., distribute the pure truth, they shall show others the blessing and strength of love and faith, they shall describe to them the consequences of earthly life in the beyond, they shall awaken and strengthen their faith in My act of Salvation and announce the near end which requires their urgent attention, they shall point out the signs and miracles through which God in His love will reveal Himself before the end in order to reinforce people’s faith and to make them receptive for the strength from Me. I Myself want to work through My disciples and must therefore be able to take abode in their hearts. Consequently, powerful love for Me and their fellow human beings must move their heart, it must feel the spiritual adversity and want to help, and it will shape itself through love into a receptive vessel for My spirit …. I Myself will be able to dwell in My disciple’s heart and work without hindrance …. Then he will teach what I place into his heart and mouth …. And so you need not fear that you are unable to cope with your task, for if you hand yourselves over to Me and offer yourselves to accomplish a task for Me on earth which is exceedingly significant and urgent, you will no longer work by yourselves; instead, you will only help Me to take effect on earth through your will. You will receive the strength to always be lovingly active and thereby draw Me increasingly more sincerely to you …. Then I can teach through you, My disciples, whom I assigned to this teaching ministry in realisation of your will, just as I had taught on earth. I will certainly educate you for this teaching ministry in advance, because it is My will that you shall be completely permeated by the knowledge you are to advocate. Yet if you are teaching I Am the One Who will speak, Who brings every thought, every Word within you to life, Who therefore makes you think and speak according to My will and, for the sake of other people, always within a natural framework, so that they will hear you if they don’t want to hear Me, if they don’t want to believe that I express Myself through you. In that case they will accept the Words as your mental knowledge and they will not be compelled into believing. Nevertheless, you will not say anything else than My will allows for, you will be unable to spread error because I, the eternal Truth Itself, will protect you from this. And thus you shall always and forever be active in My name, for there is little time until the end which must be used in every way for the spiritual wellbeing of those who suffer great adversity.
Amen

Origin of thought ….
B.D. 3706 from March 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
You receive your knowledge from the spiritual kingdom …. If you understand this idea you also have faith and therefore accept a mental concept which is not of this world, which would either have to come from the kingdom of infinity or it originated in yourselves, if the former is not acceptable to you. And thus I want to explain to you how your own thoughts relate to the spiritual kingdom ….
Without knowledge you will find it difficult to give an inherent thought the right direction, i.e. truthfully answer a question you raise yourself. You could certainly answer it yourselves, but without any guarantee of truth. And now I ask you where the thoughts which are passing through your brain come from in proportion to your understanding …. Furthermore, I ask you who gave you the gift of thought and what, in principle, is a thought …. You can certainly reply that it is a physical function, an inherent human characteristic that need not have been given to the human being …. Nevertheless, thinking in itself is something tremendous when you take a closer look at the process. It takes place without any observable activity, it is not evident to any other person nor does it leave any noticeable consequences or results. It is a process which can take place anywhere and at any time without the means to be scrutinised by other people. Thus it could already be considered a spiritual process, in contrast to every other activity for which the human being requires his body in some form or other.
Whatever the human being does, he will use a bodily organ to perform the function designated for this part of the body. And it will also always be noticeable. However, this does not apply to the human being’s mind. This can work while the body is completely at rest, although the human being considers the seat of intelligence, the brain, as the organ which also exercises its function. But its function merely consists of receiving thought emanations when it is touched by them. But where is the origin of thought to be found, especially when it does not concern worldly-perceptible but spiritual things, which cannot be grasped by the human being’s senses. The human being occasionally experiences thoughts in a flash although he had previously not intellectually concerned himself with them. And every answer to a self-posed question is also a suddenly emerging thought, which thus has to come from a reservoir, if the person believes that a thought originates in himself. This reservoir has to be somewhere within himself from which he draws the mental concepts during his intellectual activity. Consequently, one should also be able to empty and refill this thought container, if it is to be found inside the human being.
Or it has to be recognised as being external to the human body, it has to be looked for in the spiritual kingdom, which transmits every thought into the human heart in order to be deliberately grasped from there and processed by the thinking organs. The human being’s will to make use of the emanations touching him can fluctuate, and in proportion to this is the person’s outwardly recognisable ability to explain things and be deemed knowledgeable …. Whether and when the person accepts emanations which correspond to the truth will require further instruction, but that he receives these emanations from the spiritual kingdom is a fact and can, after some consideration, also become a conviction. Because something that is not physically perceptible cannot be created by human will, rather it exists as something that has always existed. It has its origin in the spiritual realm, just as all spiritual substances are emanations of God’s strength, which is accessible to the human being in proportion to his will. But thought is, in fact, the evidence that the human being is a carrier of spiritual essence and who, as an earthly constrained being, is able to make mental contact with the spiritual kingdom. He can lift himself in thought into this realm, he can detach himself from earth and mentally reside in spiritual spheres …. And if he believes that such a stay in the spiritual kingdom is a figment of his own imagination, it should be explained that the human being cannot think of or imagine anything that does not exist …. that everything he imagines also exists somewhere, and the thoughts are more or less a reflection of what the person is trying to ascertain by virtue of his will. Only, the images can be offered to him in a distorted way, but this is also caused by his will. However, the human brain is never the origin of thought, it is merely the device which has to receive mental concepts touching it from the spiritual realm if they are to become perceptible to the person. It is beyond doubt, even for the unbelieving person, that he has to receive wisdom first, that he cannot bring it forth from himself unless it is in him ….
But this requires a stronger faith, because then he also has to acknowledge the Divinity in himself which rests dormant in him and which can also truthfully instruct him from within …. However, in that case he will receive the same explanation, because then he is in direct contact with the spiritual realm, with Me, with the eternal Father-Spirit, Who will instruct him Himself …. and then he will know that all mental concepts are an emanation from Me and that he will receive the absolute truth as soon as he has made contact with Me, the Provider of truth ….
Amen

Coming in the clouds …. Last days ….
B.D. 3707 from March 8th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
My coming in the clouds will be preceded by a time of the most awful suffering ever seen on earth, as proclaimed in Word and Scripture. I will constantly draw people’s attention to this and have done so ever since the start of this era in order to strongly advise those who are not walking the right path to change their mind. For the sake of these humans I used to occasionally let plagues come upon earth to remind them of the approaching end so that they seriously consider their souls and change themselves. But the last days had not yet arrived, the period of redemption had not yet reached the time chosen by Me in accordance with My plan of eternity. The earth was not yet ready for the last work of destruction, neither were people’s souls ready for their total downfall, i.e. for their banishment into the creations of a new earth …. But My prophecies would always fulfil themselves in times of greatest spiritual hardship …. when increased affliction and misery came upon earth, so that during each time of such hardship the approaching end had to be dreaded. And it was My intention that the precise time of the last days should always remain hidden from people …. Such times of need were also more or less successful for the people involved as they found their way back to Me and entered into a different relationship with Me than before. But they became ever more persistent, and their distance, their opposition, from Me grew ever larger ….
And thus the time has arrived when no description, no admonition and warning will have an effect, when humanity remains unimpressed even in the light of utmost worldly suffering, i.e. when the latter does not lead to people recognising Me and entering into the right relationship with Me …. Their will remains opposed to Me, they are purely earthly minded and do not strive for any kind of spiritual progress. No adversity, irrespective of how harsh it is, will be able to change people’s thoughts, and thus the time of the end has irrevocably come, as I have known since eternity …. The earth has ceased to be a place of spiritual education for its inhabiting humanity, and as a result it will be dissolved and its creations totally reshaped, so that a new period of redemption can begin …. And thus enormous suffering will come upon earth, so that the last people can still gather who recognise My voice therein. And even My Own will have to experience this suffering, although extraordinarily strengthened by Me but also affected by it so that they longingly anticipate My coming, which I always and forever proclaimed for the end of this earth. And when the hardship gets unbearable, when the believers find themselves in greatest distress and see no earthly way of rescue, I will come Myself ….
And there will be rejoicing amongst My Own when they see Me in all glory, but for their physical eyes still veiled by clouds which soften the intensity of My light, so that My Own, who still belong to the earth, will be able to endure Me. They will be triumphant and shout for joy because My Word has come true …. But the immense hardship, which I have announced time and again through My seers and prophets, through My servants on earth, will have strengthened their faith. Because everything will come to pass as I have foretold, and thus they will wait for My coming in the clouds with complete confidence …. And yet I will arrive suddenly and unexpected even for My Own …. For I will shorten the days of suffering because they will become intolerable and I do not want My Own to grow faint-hearted in view of the immense difficulties. And thus I will take them into My realm at the right time, and then the end will come …. Because My Word is truth and will come to pass, and the time of the last days has arrived ….
Amen

Spiritual turn ….
B.D. 3708 from March 9th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
A spiritual upheaval, that is, a total change of people’s spiritual state, also requires a total transformation of everything that is the carrier of the spiritual. This is to be understood in such a way that the visible creations must first release the spiritual so that it can reach higher maturity in a new form. Consequently, the spiritual embodied as a human being must also be released from its external form, for this spiritual is decisive for the spiritual state on earth, which has currently reached a low as never before in this period of development and which is therefore the cause of a total transformation of the earth. This regressed spiritual substance must first be brought into a form which corresponds to its maturity before the spiritual substance, now embodied as a human being, can move in an elevated spiritual state, before a spiritual turning point occurs in which the human being is closer to God and everything remote from God can no longer oppress him. Such a spiritual change therefore necessitates the destruction of visible creations and also the physical downfall of people, with the exception of those who have established contact with God through their faith and love and are therefore close to God and therefore need not fear another earthly life. These will experience the spiritual turning point, due to their elevated state of maturity they will witness the complete destruction of all living things on earth and the destruction of their external form and yet not be affected by it themselves. They will first go through the deepest depth of human mentality in order to then be led upwards through God’s great love …. The previously lightless state on earth will give way to a state of brightest light, there will be a change of immense significance, a transformation of all thinking of the earth’s inhabitants and the right relationship with God will be established first, which is why happiness and bliss will also be part of people on earth who will now start a new period of development in fullest harmony and loving activity. And this spiritual upheaval cannot take place until the spirits have first completely decided, until they themselves are clear about the direction of their will …. All half-heartedness must decide, it must be preceded by an open confession to God or His adversary, for God does not condemn what is not opposed to Him as a fundamental adversary …. He takes pity on every weakness of will and seeks to remedy it, He seeks to help the weak so that it will find the right path and tread it. But if the being has decided to rebel against God, then the hour of the end has also come, then the die has been cast which determines the spiritual being’s fate for eternity. Then the day of judgement has come, the complete separation of the spirits and the complete destruction of that which holds spiritual things on earth. Then the time will have come which will be followed by the spiritual turning point …. a state on earth where the human being only carries God-oriented spiritual substances within himself, where he lives in love and intimate communion with God in peace and bliss, where he works and creates according to God’s will …. and where all spiritual substances still bound in form strive upwards and continue their interrupted course of development, but where hard matter is the carrier of the spiritual substances embodied on the old earth as human beings, which now start their course of development through the creations of the new earth again and have to cover it under hard conditions in order to one day reach the free decision of will again …. And therefore you humans do not expect a spiritual change on this earth, for this has become impossible due to the all too far distance from God, which can only be reduced in the aforementioned way. You must familiarize yourselves with the thought of a complete dissolution and destruction of the creations visible to your eye, otherwise you will neither be able to muster understanding for the last judgment nor for the new earth and its paradisiacal state …. You must believe what is made known to you, otherwise you will not be able to expect the coming of the lord either, which can only appear possible to you in profound faith in God’s omnipotence, love and justice, which would find no human explanation and therefore will only take place when the last day has come …. when it will be impossible for all unbelievers to continue living as human beings and the miracle of the lord’s coming will no longer mean a compulsion to believe for the believer …. For everything is understandable to the spiritually awakened person, because God’s love and omnipotence is the reason for everything that happens ….
Amen

The servants' mission on earth after the natural disaster ….
B.D. 3709 from March 10th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Whatever you hear through the inner voice is what you shall tell your fellow human beings when the time has come. For the mission you have to fulfil is to provide people with an explanation when they no longer understand world events and find it difficult to believe in a Creator of heaven and earth, in a loving Father, Who directs His children’s destiny on earth. Then stand up and instruct them, and inform them of My great love …. Don’t frighten them with God’s wrath and the Judgment, for they are not yet punishments but merely the teaching methods I use in order to save people’s souls. I Am not yet passing the final sentence but I won’t leave any stone unturned in order to avoid having to condemn the souls on the day of Judgment to eternal damnation ….
And thus you should try to explain to them that the period of Salvation has expired, that there is only little time left until the end and that this time has to be utilized for their return to Me. People will doubt My love, they will doubt My omnipotence when they see the immense misery on earth caused by people’s and, in the end, by My will, and anyone not of firm faith and informed as a result of his way of life will be in danger of falling away, that is, of abandoning Me completely, if he does not receive clarification.
Yet the magnitude of misery will also open their hearts and they will listen to you, and your Words will not go unheeded. And thus this time has to be particularly utilized, and you ought to speak as soon as you feel prompted from within to do so, for then it will always be My spirit which impels you to work for Me and My kingdom. And then inform them of the great spiritual hardship, make them aware of the fact that their bodies only live a short time but that souls live forever and thus their soul’s fate is paramount; remind them to act with love, remind them to take less notice of their own hardship and to treat their fellow human beings’ hardship with more empathy; inform them of the strength and blessing of neighbourly love, My constant readiness to help, and try to awaken or strengthen their faith. And you will not have to worry what you should say, for I will put all words into your mouth if only you want to work for Me, if you don’t refuse to fulfil the task I give you through My Word.
You will hear My voice within yourselves more distinctly than ever and then don’t fear any opposition, for I want you to work on My behalf and know how to shield you from those who want to prevent you from doing your work. Speak without worry, and don’t question whether your action corresponds to My will, for once the time for your activity comes I will take possession of you, and you shall follow Me without resistance, that is, you shall do whatever your heart tells you to do. And you will clearly feel it in your heart; it will be your own innermost desire to speak to everyone crossing your path and to draw their attention to the impending end which will come just as certainly as My intervention through natural forces, just as everything I have announced through My spirit will fulfil itself ….
Amen

Announcements to be taken literally …. end …. future – present ….
B.D. 3710 from March 11th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
If you do not yet consider the time to have come when what is proclaimed in word and scripture will be fulfilled, then you will be surprised, for My will will come into action as it has been determined since eternity. If you have an open eye and discernment for humanity’s spiritual state you will also not doubt My word and prepare yourselves every day for the fulfilment of My announcements. And only those who are still blind in spirit reckon with a more distant time, even if they are believers, i.e. if they acknowledge Me as the controller of all destinies. Yet the closer knowledge of the connection between all creations and their creator …. the knowledge of the human being’s task on earth and the consequences of not observing it would give people the certainty that the end has approached and all doubt would be invalidated. However, they lack this knowledge and therefore only few realize that there is only little time left for people’s spiritual development. And as long as they pay more attention to earthly development the last time will not be used extensively. People have to prepare themselves daily so that the end will not frighten them. But who will do this if he does not yet consider the time to have come which signifies the end of a redemption period? …. Every thought of postponement is detrimental to the souls. And when I inform you through My messengers whom I instruct Myself, when I want to initiate you into My plan of salvation and inform you that you only have a short time left, then accept these words of Mine with utmost faith; consider that I will not send you these admonitions and instructions in vain and adjust your life accordingly …. Count on a speedy end and take everything I proclaim to you through My servants on earth literally. Consider that one day the future will also become the present, and if you don’t believe the words alone then look at the life and activity of the people around you, look at what is happening everywhere, recognize the spiritual state of the whole of humanity on earth which outdoes itself in unkindness and actions which do not correspond to My commandment of love. And this realization must be your confirmation of My announcements, you must see from it in which hour you live and thus expect My intervention daily and hourly, for it precedes the last end which will follow in not too long a time. I instruct My servants in such a way that you must recognize that I train them for a mission. This, too, must be proof to you of the soon working of these servants, for I do not need scholastically instructed proclaimers of My word but people who have shaped themselves into receptacles of My word through their way of life so that they can convincingly stand up for My word. And thus they will soon have to take up office in order to be successfully active for Me and My kingdom on this earth. And if someone accepts My word from their mouth and is likewise willing to serve Me, to be active for Me in the last days before the end, he will also consider the time to have come, he will himself realize the necessity of My activity in the last days and not doubt My word …. he will reckon with the very near time when he will be admitted to work for Me, for he who faithfully receives My word also feels the nearness of the end …. He recognizes humanity’s low level and knows that there can be no more spiritual ascent on this earth. But anyone who only pays attention to world events has no view for the spiritual state of the whole of humanity, and therefore he also does not want to acknowledge that the time of the end has come. Yet surprisingly quickly the day will arrive which I have determined since eternity as the end of a redemption period …. And therefore always and constantly wait for it and prepare yourselves so that you need not fear this day ….
Amen

Struggle of light against darkness and victory ….
B.D. 3711 from March 12th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Everything divine will be opposed, i.e. all good, God-aspiring action and thinking …. Wherever only one God of heaven and earth is acknowledged, the adversary will arise in the form of completely unloving people who will harm the believer in every way. And the believers will also be recognizable through their activity in love, and this will attract enemies, for people who are themselves devoid of all love unconsciously sense the superiority of the one who lives in love. And thus they will be driven by God’s adversary to works of hatred and unkindness towards those people because he seeks to render them harmless. It is an open battle against God which will take place shortly. People who carry God in their hearts will appear weak and helpless before the world, for they will find no earthly protection and are exposed to measures and persecutions by people who are hostile towards God. Yet they have an invisible helper by their side Who protects their souls and helps them bear the earthly adversity …. And they will be full of strength and not fear the adversary who tries to spiritually rape them in every way. And thus it is up to the human being himself, i.e. his will, which power he wants to be subject to. He need not comply with the desire of God’s enemies as long as there is just a spark of faith in him in the eternal deity, Which is loving and omnipotent and therefore leaves none of Its followers to the enemy. The will to believe results in even the weakest faith being strengthened, that the human being inwardly becomes ever more convinced of God’s reign and activity and completely abandons himself to His care …. And God’s adversary will meet with hard resistance …. the believers will not allow themselves to be disturbed and despite worldly measures, despite threats and harshest decrees against them they will act unhesitatingly as God demands of them, for they only recognize Him as ruler, but they do not observe earthly commandments as soon as they are contrary to divine commandments. And thereby they also openly profess God and His teaching before the world …. And thus they will also mention the name of Jesus without shyness, despite prohibition, despite decrees and threats concerning the confession of His name. For believing people recognize the activity of the antichrist and thus also the truth of what God has proclaimed through His messengers. For He had pointed out this activity a long time before, and if His announcements are now fulfilled this will only increase the strength of faith and people will feel more connected to God than ever. The battle against God, against everything good, against His teaching and His name will flare up most fiercely, yet it will also be waged on the side of the believers with perseverance and tenacity and under the leadership of the supreme commander Himself …. God will fight with His believers and give them superhuman strength. And although the host of His fighters is only small in comparison to the adversary it will nevertheless be insurmountable, and the battle will end in complete defeat, for God will not let the testing of His believers last long, He Himself will shorten the days, He Himself will end the battle as soon as the spirits have completely decided, as soon as people have taken one side or the other of the fighters and thus have passed the final test as to whom they acknowledge as their ruler. And then is the end, then is the day of judgement, the day of the victory of light over darkness ….
Amen

Prudence and gentleness ….
B.D. 3712 from March 13th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Be prudent and gentle …. and you will be very successful if you want to work for Me and My kingdom …. And if you want to give My Word to people you have to pass it on just as I have given it to you, you have to offer it with love …. Love, however, is always the same; it expresses itself in gentleness and patience, in willingness to bestow happiness, in selfless giving. Thus, anyone who offers My Word has to feel the inner aspiration to make other people happy and do so with a joyful heart, and if he urges the other person it has to be in a most gentle manner, he must want to bestow happiness with an innermost sincerity. If he then is eager, his eagerness is commendable, but not if he meets with resistance and prevails and then uses harsh words which are not helpful to My cause. He always has to consider himself My representative and thus always display a loving nature too, and if fervour takes hold of him it has to be a righteous one which does not apply to other people but to falsehood and error, which he fights against and thus seeks to eliminate. The results of satanic work should and can be the object of utter disgust and contempt and also need to be denounced accordingly, but the Gospel from the heavens has to be given to people with gentleness and love or it will be ineffective. And thus you have to carry out your work with utmost prudence even when other people’s spiritual state disgusts you, when their resistance tests your patience considerably. For what you proclaim is taught by love, hence love also has to express itself, and the bearer’s loving nature has to be seen. Even so, you should speak on behalf of Me and My teaching with all firmness or the task I require you to do would not be work. You have to work diligently everywhere and with every human being …. You have to encourage them to act kindly and portray this as the only true service to God which is pleasing to Me and results in blessings and grace from above. My Word only teaches love, and when you encourage other people accordingly you are already spreading My Word …. Whether the human being’s faithfulness to the offered Word results in a contact with Me entirely depends on his will, but a teaching given with gentleness is not without effect, it is more likely to impress than overzealous upholding of spiritual values which is not yet comprehensible to the other person because he has no love. Gentleness and prudence are important factors when spreading My teaching of love ….
However, if another person’s arrogant spirit confronts you then you know that My adversary’s spirit speaks through him …. which certainly calls for stronger words …. but in that case I Myself will put the words into your mouth, providing you quietly call upon Me for help to deal with people who carry this spirit in themselves. Because they have to be treated quite differently, they need to be disturbed from their arrogant contentment and guided into another way of thinking. And gentle speech will be of no use to them. But you will clearly know in your heart if or when there is still a possibility to change such people, and if you work for Me and My kingdom in association with Me you will also be enlightened by My spirit, who will put the words into your mouth enabling you to speak without hesitation as prompted by your heart. Prudence and gentleness and sincere prayer to Me will definitely lead to success, because then I will bless your work for My kingdom on this earth and in eternity ….
Amen

Admonition to work for God …. Catastrophe ….
B.D. 3713 from March 14th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
You will clearly and perceptively hear the inner voice which will call you to work for My kingdom when the hour of your action for Me has come. Then you should not hesitate but follow the voice and let Me take you to those whom you are to teach in My name. The immense adversity will be the best spokesman on My behalf, for it will, if only temporarily, open hearts for Me and you will be listened to more readily than ever before. People were left without inner resistance by the previous huge natural event which had deprived them of everything that was dear to them. The task you must diligently comply with in order to first provide spiritual help for your fellow human beings is to explain to them the immense adversity by portraying it as My final means of help in order to prevent their souls’ total descent. In an earthly way I will guide your thoughts such that you will be able to ease the physical hardship as well and will give to everyone according to his faith. Therefore, you should try to awaken or strengthen your fellow human beings’ faith in Me, in My love and omnipotence, so that they can partake in the blessings of a strong faith and be helped with their earthly hardship. For One can and always will help …. you must just believe in Him …. And where earthly strength fails My strength will set in if this is My will, and with My strength you can cope with all situations in life and with My help will also be led through the forthcoming harsh conditions. And thus you, My servants on earth, must purely concentrate on your teaching ministry, on your spiritual activity, on your fellow human beings’ souls which are in urgent need of help. You must try to direct their will towards Me by proclaiming Me as a God of love to Whom they must turn in order to receive the strength of love from Him as well. People will suffer so much adversity that they will take hold of any life line, that they will therefore listen more willingly than ever and be grateful to find an explanation for the work of destruction which is facing the survivors and whose souls I still want to gain for Myself. Therefore, each one of you, My servants, should work within your circle, for you all will have ample opportunity to speak on My behalf and to mention My directly conveyed Word from heaven to earth. Make use of your time of activity, because you will find open hearts which are receptive for what you have to offer impelled by My spirit …. And I Myself will be able to work through you, I will be able to speak to people, and wherever merely the slightest will exists your labour will be successful, the souls will turn to Me which I Myself can then take care of according to their will and their faith. It will not be long until I will noticeably manifest Myself in the repeatedly announced natural disaster …. I will come suddenly and unexpectedly, for even if My Own take it into account every day …. they, too, will be taken by surprise when the first signs become apparent. Nevertheless, regardless of how distressing it will be, I recognise its urgent necessity and will not divert from it under any circumstances. And thus you must all prepare yourselves for it by accepting Me and My Word in your heart wherever and whenever possible so that you will have an abundance of strength when you are surrounded by great adversity and fear, so that you can grant comfort and strength to all who are close to you, who are led to you by My will so that you will proclaim My Word to them for their souls’ salvation. Prepare yourselves for this mission, for it will require all your strength and will, yet if you possess firm faith yourselves, you will, fearlessly and without worry, be wise guides and advisors for your fellow human beings and for the benefit of everyone be able to work for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Prayer for grace and strength ….
B.D. 3714 from March 15th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
When you approach Me from the bottom of your heart with a request for strength and grace you will certainly receive it, even if it is not instantly recognisable as help, since grace and strength affect the soul more than the body. The human being as such can still be subject to affliction but it will not touch the soul as much, so that the human being remains calm and collected due to his soul’s strength, and yet the physical affliction still needs to be overcome. Thus I do not always remove it from the person but I will give him the strength to bear what I inflict on him. He will not experience something as severely as someone without faith who does not desire and request My gift of strength. Not the misfortune itself constitutes its severity but the state of the human being who, being weak, is doubly affected by every hardship. But My grace and strength is always at your disposal and, providing you make use of it, even the most difficult earthly life will be bearable for you and always of benefit for your soul, because as a result of My strength and grace its shell will be gradually dissolved …. For as soon as the human being joins Me, as soon as he makes contact with Me by praying for strength and grace, I will be able to reveal Myself to him by giving him strength, and depending how much I can develop his soul, his earthly ambition will be reduced accordingly …. The strength of My grace urges the soul towards the spirit within itself and away from material possession. My grace and strength has the effect that a person becomes inwardly strong, that he disassociates himself from the external world and tries to make contact with the spirit in himself, and thus he achieves spiritual progress when he tries to alleviate worldly hardship with My support, with My supply of grace and strength. But such a request will never remain unfulfilled, a person who approaches Me with this appeal will never fail to benefit. And he will also always notice how much stronger he is after a heart-felt prayer to Me, albeit worldly hardship is not yet resolved.
On the one hand this is intended to make the person aware of his weakness and lack of strength and to encourage him to approach the One Who can remedy it, but on the other hand it should also strengthen his faith when he receives such obvious help after his heart-felt appeal to Me. A soul which strives towards Me will always derive spiritual benefit from the body’s distress, because it will always take flight to Me and every heart-felt prayer will provide it with strength and grace, which will then take effect in accordance with its state of maturity …. visibly and noticeably for the body too or just perceptible for the soul, depending on how suitable it is deemed by My wisdom and love. But I will never leave anyone without strength who requests it from Me …. For I will fulfil every appeal for spiritual wealth and, providing it is beneficial to you, also for earthly help. And thus you will be able to feel Me even during utmost adversity, you need not be discouraged and despondent providing you entrust yourselves to My love and grace, providing you want to accept My strength and confirm this in sincere conversation with Me. I know of all your difficulties, your weaknesses and doubts, but I want you to hand them over to Me in prayer so that you know when they are removed by My love, by My supply of strength and grace …. so that you will learn to recognise Me in everything that affects you. I speak to you through hardship just as I reveal Myself to you through help …. And if you stay in close contact with Me you will not fear any hardship, no matter how harsh it appears to be, because all strength and grace is at your disposal due to My love. I will take care of you until the end of your life, physically and spiritually and, providing you believe this without doubt, you will lose all fear of every severe hardship facing you, because you will always be able to overcome it with My grace and My strength ….
Amen

Promise of eternal bliss ….
B.D. 3715 from March 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Why do you fear for your earthly fate when I promise you a far more beautiful one in eternity? …. If you believe in Me and My Word then you will lose all earthly fear, for if you are inwardly convinced that My Word is truth, if you therefore firmly believe in My love, wisdom and omnipotence, then you will also know that My promises will be fulfilled, and then you can take all suffering and hardship, all privations and tribulations upon yourselves with a joyful heart, for they will only last a short time in order to then give way to eternal life in bliss. You only lack faith, and that is why you are anxious and fear the time to come. But if you believe that I exist, that I Am full of love and work without limitation, you must not doubt the fulfilment of My promises, because My Word is purest truth and has to be fulfilled by everyone who complies with My will, who makes an effort to live accordingly, who thus strives towards Me in thought, word and deed. And he need not fear any earthly adversity, for it only affects the body and will also be bearable for the body, but the soul will remain unaffected and will gain the final victory, it will enter the kingdom of peace towards a life full of bliss. Let the short time on earth which you still have to live through also be rich in earthly hardship and worries …. it will pass quickly, it will pass, just as all suffering and hardship will pass, but My Word will not pass forever …. and My Word promises you eternal bliss …. And even if you cannot grasp it on earth, even if you cannot realise on earth what this bliss consists of, My Word must suffice for you that I want to prepare a blissful fate for you, and therefore believe and do not fear …. Humbly accept everything I send upon you and know that all earthly adversity will come to an end one day. But also know that you yourselves can also reduce it through your own will if you carry everything that weighs you down to Me, if you sincerely ask Me to help you carry your cross, if you help your fellow human beings wherever and however you can and also secure My power of love for your neighbour through unselfish deeds of love, which enables you to overcome and endure everything. For as you hand out love My love flows to you in the form of strength and grace, in the form of My Word which imparts it to you at all times, which you can mentally receive from Me Myself or which you may also receive through My messengers …. My love will always consider you according to your worthiness, but this is dependent on your labour of love. And therefore you need not fear any earthly hardship as long as you are lovingly active yourselves, for I will always stand by you even in earthly adversity. But if you focus your attention on the soul, on your spiritual well-being, you will endure the short span of your earthly life more easily in view of eternal bliss, for you will always abide by My Word which has promised My Own all glories in the Father’s house, by the Word which has to fulfil itself because My Word is and will remain truth for all eternity ….
Amen

Danger of idleness ….
B.D. 3716 from March 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
You should not give yourselves to laziness during the time of the last days, you should not stay inactive and indifferently await the end, but instead you should work tirelessly, spiritually as well as earthly, where necessary. For your soul only benefits from activity and never from a state of rest. Moreover, the end time will necessitate vigorous activity as a result of severe hardship which will force the human being to participate in every kind of work. For only those who betray Me, who have completely deserted Me, will have a good living standard. Those who abide by Me will have to struggle with acute hardship, worldly too; nevertheless, with My help they will be able to overcome it if they work diligently. But I will keep them occupied until the end, I do not want them to stay inactive and wait for My help since I do not want them to run the danger of deserting Me by comparing their life with the life of the atheists and begin to falter in their faith in Me. Diligent activity will protect them from misguided thoughts because activity is life, and as long as a task is performed for the benefit of other people it is also a blessing for the human soul. And the difficulties of the time will necessitate supportive action for other people, My Own will have to be very industrious, and even the representatives of My Word, My servants on earth, are not exempt, and I will bless everyone’s efforts and remove their worst hardship although it will seem to the world as if the human being helps himself …. since My help only shows itself visibly to the world when the strength of faith is intended to become evident.
However, every person will be able to work and aspire spiritually in spite of utmost demands on his physical strength before the end …. If he aspires towards Me, My spiritual strength will carry out the person’s work and his thoughts will be able to freely wander into the spiritual realm, he will be able to be in contact with Me at any time, his physical labour will not prevent him from working for the kingdom of God where appropriate. For I will give everyone a place where he will be able to work physically and spiritually in accordance with his abilities. Besides, time appears to pass more quickly to an active person, whereas the inactive human being extends his own time due to his idleness. Idleness does not lead to any kind of success, neither spiritually nor earthly …. the lord of the underworld takes possession of a lazy human being; he tempts him with worldly promises and diverts his attention from his real task on earth. And, because he wants to improve his life, the idle person follows him only too willingly. And I seriously warn My Own against idleness …. I will bless every deed which is not a blatant unkindness, and My blessing will result in constant help during spiritual as well as earthly hardship. Therefore, remain tirelessly active; remember that there is not much time until the end and that any kind of activity is life. Don’t end the experience of life before its time, and also use the flow of vitality correctly, then the spiritual strength will also be increased, you will persevere to the end and need not fear adversities because then you will be living in accordance with My will in this respect too and will always be able to be certain of My protection, My love and My strength ….
Amen

Living faith and its strength ….
B.D. 3717 from March 18th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Living faith can move mountains …. This is just a phrase to you since you have not yet put the strength of faith to the test and thus don’t know its effectiveness, you don’t know that the profoundly faithful human being avails himself of My strength and therefore everything is possible for him. However, how deep should this faith be in order to achieve everything the human being wants? …. In order to possess such strength of faith the human being’s bond with Me must be so heartfelt that he no longer feels like an individual being but as an inseparable part of Me which is permeated by the strength which originates from Me. He must always and forever feel Me close to him, he must have become so certain of My presence that he thinks, speaks and behaves in this conviction. And since he acknowledges Me as supreme Love, Wisdom and Omnipotence, since this belief has therefore become his firm conviction he sets no limits to My activity and thus no limits exist for him either, because he feels himself a part of Me Myself and permeated by My strength. Faith like this accomplishes everything and thus also things which lie beyond human ability. Then he will be able to work miracles and yet they are merely the natural processes of a human being who is how he should be on earth, who has reached his goal and placed his soul into a state of maturity which is close to its original state. Such firm faith necessitates total dedication to Me, complete detachment from earthly things, it requires unification with Me through love …. Only a constantly lovingly active person can have such firm and profound faith, for unification with Me must first have taken place before the person will feel so close to Me that My presence guarantees every action according to My will. The strength of love flowing to him due to his loving activity must fortify his faith because it gives evidence of Me and My presence, and anyone who can feel Me in himself and next to him also knows that he will never ever separate from Me again, that he can also avail himself of My strength with impunity because it is My own will that he should take effect instead of Me in order to prove the strength of faith and love to his fellow human beings, in order to testify to My love and omnipotence which thus provides strength to the living creation whose nature changed into love.
Faith will move mountains …. You should all acquire this profound faith and you, too, will be able to achieve anything on this earth …. First shape yourselves into love, then your faith will also increase and become a living faith, that is, it will be able to become active, whilst faith without love remains lifeless faith, a faith only according to the word but which lacks all strength. The words …. I believe …. are not enough to induce My working through you, for you must be able to truly believe in your heart, and this living faith is only possible through constant activity of love through which you receive the strength from Me in order to be effective and even implement the apparently impossible. Profound faith achieves everything …. Nevertheless, it requires My presence and you can only secure this through loving activity …. Hence, love comes first, and if you lack love you also lack faith, no matter how repeatedly you try to assure your faith through words. So now you can understand why I keep preaching love, why I send My disciples into the world in order to spread My teaching of love. It is certainly possible for you to intellectually acquire faith in a Power Which is exceedingly kind, powerful and wise, yet you can only enter into contact with this Power through activity of love, only then will this faith gain significance, for only then will you be able to avail yourselves of My strength and, in strong faith in Me, let it become effective, as I have promised you ….
Amen

Constrained souls …. Act of Salvation ….
B.D. 3718 from March 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Try to put yourselves into the position of a soul which is tied down by evil forces and unable to free itself without help. This is certainly of its own doing but pitiable because of its weakness, because it does not walk the right path, the path to Me as divine Redeemer, Who is able to remedy its weakness of will. It is completely under the influence of these forces who guide its thoughts into the wrong direction in order to keep it from the truth and therefore also from its own salvation. Such a soul is disadvantaged in every way. First of all, due to its misguided thinking it lacks understanding but it is constantly influenced to strive for what will stop it from becoming aware of it. Furthermore, it is encouraged to believe that it is on the right track in order to paralyse its willingness to investigate other avenues …. Hence it has to think and want what My adversary’s forces mentally induce, and the soul itself is not strong enough to offer resistance, which is the result of not acknowledging My act of Salvation …. The human being is engaged in a far greater spiritual struggle against the forces of darkness, and he will lose if he does not call on Me Myself for help, to strengthen his will, for salvation from My adversary’s power.
For he has immense power over the souls, over their will, even though the will is free. He intensifies the weakness of will and the soul cannot defend itself against him by itself as he is far stronger than the soul. Hence I came to the world to help humanity in the fight against their souls’ enemy. Through My death on the cross I brought them salvation from the constrained state, I acquired strength of resistance for every single person who is willing to accept it from My hands …. who acknowledges Me and believes in My act of Salvation. I cannot endow the human being with this strength of increased will against his will if I want to create a free, perfect being which has found Me voluntarily. Thus free will has to be considered in all situations in life if the last goal is to be achieved …. ultimate perfection, thus Godliness of the being which is living on earth embodied as a human being for the test of its will. This test of will necessitates the adversary’s immense power over every individual soul, just as the blessings of My act of Salvation are necessary to overcome this power. Therefore it is My continuous endeavour to make people believe in Me as Redeemer of the world, and by conveying the pure truth I seek to make the act of Salvation, My mission as a human being on earth, comprehensible to them.
However, it is up to every person himself to form his own opinion since I do not force anyone to believe in Me, but he makes it impossible for himself to receive the blessings of the act of Salvation, the reinforcement of his will against My adversary, if he does not acknowledge Me. And then it is extraordinary difficult for the soul to pull itself away from the enemy. Because it does not recognise the danger it is in, it believes to be on the right path, its understanding is clouded because the adversary’s influence also affects the human being’s every thought and activity, so that he will not establish the right relationship with Me and will even be prevented from acting with love. Nor will he allow himself to be taught because the adversary’s influence is stronger than the influence of fellow human beings who want to help him. Only the right attitude towards Me as the Redeemer of the world …. the right attitude towards Jesus Christ and His teaching …. can bring help to a soul, and an effort has to be made for this. If the person can find the will to penetrate the knowledge of Jesus Christ’s mission he will also receive assistance from Me, he will be guided into the right understanding in spite of My adversary’s most eager influence, because I will help wherever I feel but the faintest willingness to come close to Me …. Although the human being cannot muster the understanding for My act of Salvation quickly, as soon as he acknowledges Jesus Christ as God’s representative, as soon as he accepts that He was given a mission by God, his train of thought will be on the right track and he will continue to be guided correctly, and then the adversary will already have lost his power.
But this has to come first before the soul can withdraw from his influence, only then will it be saved, and only then will it be open to all other information. The battle of light against darkness is enormous, and where the light shines it has to be guarded so as not to get extinguished …. The prince of darkness also rages against the bearers of light, and that should prompt them into utmost caution, they should not go near his entrapments, they should take flight when his activity becomes evident, but always let the light shine when someone lingering in darkness desires the light. However, they should never allow My adversary the triumph to have darkened the light from the heavens …. thus never give him the opportunity to successfully influence his victims …. because only where I Am acknowledged is it possible to break his power …. And thus those souls should only ever be informed of the significance of My act of Salvation, so that they can liberate themselves of their own accord, so that they learn to differentiate between truth and error, and through truth alone become blessed ….
Amen

Activity of intellect and heart …. Truth ….
B.D. 3719 from March 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 47
All spiritual knowledge can certainly be processed by the intellect but it first has to be grasped by the heart, whereas worldly knowledge is closer to the intellect than the heart …. And therefore it is understandable that an intellectually very active person would try to ascertain subjects which are closely related to world events, even if he tries to give them a spiritual character …. that he thus would like to investigate My plan of eternity purely because of its worldly outcome, which he believes he can calculate with mathematical certainty …. As long as the human being is still focussing his attention on external events his intellect is more active than his heart …. only when he starts to attend to purely spiritual problems will his heart be active, but then he will take little notice of external life, the unfolding of worldly events, and will only look at these as accompaniment of the actual happening. Only then will he approach the truth, which enters through his heart and wants to be understood by the intellect. It is not possible for a human being to understand My eternal plan of Salvation such that he can establish any intervention by My will. Only when it is revealed through My spirit will it be proclaimed by a prophet in accordance with My will, but I will not disclose the time even to this prophet, as this corresponds to My wisdom. A spiritually aspiring person will also know that it is necessary to keep the date and time of the end secret, consequently he will not ever believe the account of a person who trusts that he can calculate it.
This kind of intellectual activity is a clear indication of an unenlightened spirit, because a spiritually awakened person lets Me rule and work and only aims to achieve utmost maturity for the soul, and by the signs of the time he will recognise humanity’s spiritual low …. He will also know the reason and cause of the spiritual decline, he will know about the correlation of all things and thus also the course (sequence) of events of the earth period in accordance with certain basic laws, he merely finds his knowledge confirmed in the sequence of world events but does not attempt to derive world events themselves from it. World events are indeed also a consequence of spiritual decline, but the latter has to be recognised and heeded first, and thus every single person has to endeavour to first remedy the spiritual hardship, and for this it is essential that the heart is activated first and then the intellect. The serious work on oneself also results in spiritual enlightenment and gives reliable vision for future events, and then the heart is active. However, by using the intellect alone it is not possible to reach the goal of becoming knowledgeable and to understand My plan of eternity …. Because I set a limit to the human being’s intellect which he cannot transcend, but I gave the heart unlimited leeway …. Its spirit, which is part of Me and to which nothing remains hidden, can gain unrestricted access. Therefore, if you want to become wise, i.e. acquire knowledge which corresponds to the purest truth, your heart needs to be constantly active …. Love has to guide you into truth …. but you will never reach the goal by just using your intellect, your knowledge will be and remain inaccurate as long as My spirit cannot become effective in you through the activity of your heart …. through love ….

Announcement of the catastrophe ….
B.D. 3720 from March 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Accept without resistance what My spirit announces to you. For I make use of you in order to make My will known to people, and thus you should not resist Me if I want to speak through you. I announce to you that you are already at the beginning of the inner turmoil on earth, that only a short time will still pass when I appear through My power and that you should therefore not hesitate much longer to prepare yourselves for the time of your activity. If I again and again hold the hour of My intervention so close before your eyes then it is for your own sake, for you cannot take the forthcoming stage of your life seriously enough, which My intervention will initiate and which will bring you ever closer to the final end. I have to warn and admonish you constantly so that you will not become indifferent in your striving upwards …. And if I repeatedly give you a respite it is only out of love for you, for despite the earthly hardship you still live in tolerable conditions in comparison to those who are destined for you after My intervention. And I want to prepare you so that you will nevertheless become masters of it with My help despite greatest earthly adversity. Nothing is insurmountable if you approach Me for support, yet you shall first gain this firm faith. But the time limit set for you decreases from day to day, from hour to hour. And the day is irrevocably approaching when I will express Myself through the elements of nature. And therefore, I call to you time and again: Remember what lies ahead of you, take My announcements seriously, for I do not speak to you humans through My servants on earth for nothing, reckon with it as surely as you reckon with the night after a day, and prepare yourselves so that after the night a morning shall come for you again …. both earthly and spiritually …. For if I let you live, you still have a time of grace ahead of you despite great physical hardship, which you can make extensive use of for the salvation of your souls. Time and again I knock on your hearts, time and again I point out that the end is near and that I still want to win for Myself those who believe in Me and My Word. Time and again I call out to you through My messengers: Live in love and your souls will be saved for eternity …. My admonitions and warnings will be repeated until the hour has come which I have determined since eternity and which would have been long overdue according to people’s spiritual state. Yet My love and mercy upholds the time limit in order to give you all the opportunity to work on yourselves in view of what is to come. Do not let My admonitions and warnings go unheeded but heed them, for the day is not far away ….
Amen

Nullity of earthly worries ….
B.D. 3721 from March 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Let Me rule and do not worry about vain earthly things. For everything is futile which is not for the spiritual good, which is not meant for eternity, i.e. which serves the soul for the best. And thus every earthly worry is also unimportant if you consider that your life will soon be over and that you will then only be judged according to your soul’s state of maturity which, however, you can still increase in the short time until the end of your body if only you are willing and listen to My admonitions and warnings. You are still given a short period of time and in this time you can still gather treasures unmeasured if you only focus your attention on spiritual things and disregard everything earthly as far as possible. Then I will also preserve you physically and provide you with everything you need until the end of your life …. I will provide you with strength and grace so that you will no longer value earthly life highly for the sake of earthly things but use every day and every hour to increase your soul’s maturity. My strength and grace will always be at your disposal if you ask for it. But if earthly worries press you too much, then you ignore My source of grace, you do not draw spiritual drink and do not accept spiritual nourishment, which alone is important in the time to come. Consider little what the body needs, but give in abundance to the soul within you and constantly ask Me for strength to do so. Every earthly worry, however, prevents the soul from receiving spiritual nourishment, but the body passes away in a short time while the soul enters the spiritual kingdom either mature or immature according to its provision on earth. And you should always bear this in mind if the body approaches you too much with its demands …. Pay less attention to it and consider your souls first, and you will also lack nothing physically if you fully believe and hand yourselves over to Me and My care ….
Amen

'The kingdom of heaven suffers violence ….'
B.D. 3722 from March 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47
Now let Me give you an explanation as to how I want My Word to be understood: ‘The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and only those who use violence seize it ….’ It is not to be understood as an exercise of violence towards one’s fellow human being, but only the violence over oneself, over one’s own desires, which helps the human being to gain possession, to take possession of the heavenly kingdom in all its glory. This cannot be given to him, but he must win it for himself, he must fight a battle for the highest good, for eternal bliss. And as long as the human being remains on earth this battle will have to be directed towards his physical desires, the fulfilment of which is always an obstacle to achieving the goal …. spiritual upward development …. Anyone who wants to be victorious in this battle has to do violence to himself …. And thus he has to fight with his adversary, who will always place physical desires, the longing for earthly possessions, into him, who will therefore entice him with worldly splendour and earthly glamour. To renounce everything that is offered to him in this way requires strength of will, it requires violence in itself, but by virtue of which he will most certainly seize the kingdom of heaven, for he who sacrifices for My sake will receive in the richest measure, and what is offered to him, what I offer him, is truly of indescribable value. The kingdom of heaven can never come to people who are indifferent and indolent, who do not struggle but let everything take its course …. who only testify to their desire for the kingdom of heaven through words and wishes but who never turn words and wishes into action. And thus the time has come when force has to be used more than ever if the kingdom of heaven is to be open to people …. Yet in My love I come to meet all those who fight …. I help them in their fight against themselves by reducing the temptations of this world, by showing them the frailty and transience of everything they desired, and which giving up requires a hard fight against themselves …. I know about the human being’s weakness and assess his will, thus I stand by him if he only wants to gain Me and My kingdom but lacks the strength to use force against himself and his desires. And thus I will not demand more use of force than he is capable of …. I let him go through earthly hardship in order to make the kingdom of heaven desirable to him, and if he only wants to use the slightest violence he will also succeed in seizing the kingdom of heaven. But his will must always become active itself. He must fight against his desires, he must learn to despise everything worldly and thus sacrifice what is dear to him …. and if his strength and his will are not sufficient for this I shall use force …. I draw him to Me and take from him what he does not want to give up on his own …. And if he surrenders to My will he has passed the inner battle. He has likewise used force and seized the kingdom of heaven with My support, which I will not deny to anyone who is willing and testifies to Me through his prayer. The kingdom of heaven is open to him, and once he has completed his short time on earth he will be received by Me into My kingdom of glory, as I have promised, and he will be eternally happy ….
Amen
