"Let Me take abode in your hearts …."

B.D. 3795 from June 9th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Let Me take abode in your hearts, let Me become effective in you and thus be in you with all My strength …. This is your goal on earth, that you shape yourselves such that nothing will prevent Me from dwelling with you and that you will become My children forever through your union with Me. However, you must first remove everything impure from your hearts because I cannot dwell where there is filth, where My eternal order has not yet been established, which My living creations have overturned through their own will. Only where there is order, where My law of eternity is observed, can I Myself also be there and make you happy temporally and eternally. But My law of eternity demands love, and walking along without love also means living in disorder, which excludes My presence. Thus you have to shape yourselves into love and you will completely fulfil My will, and if you keep My commandments of love you will be pleasing to Me, I will draw close to you Myself, I will find a well-arranged abode in your hearts and can take abode in it, and you may now constantly associate with Me …. You now carry My spirit within you, recognisable to yourselves, for you can always and constantly hear it. There is now no longer any separation between the spiritual spark resting within you and the Father-Spirit of Eternity, for you carry Me Myself in your heart, you have united with Me through love. All of you should try to reach this goal, let Me already take abode in your hearts on earth and you will already be happy on earth. For what My spirit offers you are treasures for eternity which will make you more happy than earthly possessions, which you will no longer desire once you have accepted Me Myself into your hearts. My spirit guides you into all truth, My spirit gives you the power of realisation …. I Myself always and constantly teach you the highest wisdom, I give you food and drink and take over every concern for your spiritual and physical well-being …. For now I Am the Lord in My house, I rule and reign in you, you who have freely accepted Me into your heart, into My house, which I will never ever leave once you have offered it to Me as an abode and prepared it well. And My presence is now your bliss …. In My presence you will feel safe and secure, I Am a comforter to the abandoned, I Am a protector to the afflicted, I Am a friend and brother to My own, just as I Am the most caring Father to all My children from eternity. And I constantly hand out gifts of grace, strength and light, as I have promised …. I consider My own because they have given Me the right to care for them, because they have offered their hearts to Me and prepared themselves to receive through love. And thus My Word shall be fulfilled, for it is truth and will remain truth for all eternity ….

Amen

Gaining faith requires the will of man ….

B.D. 3796 from June 10th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Everyone should seek to shape himself according to My will and desire strength and grace from Me …. Then his soul is saved for eternity, for with his prayer to Me for strength and grace his will has become active, which is turned towards Me and which I now seize and no longer let sink back eternally. And therefore it is absolutely necessary to direct his thoughts towards Me, therefore he has to acknowledge Me first, otherwise he would not ask Me in thought. And thus he has to believe in Me …. that I exist and possess power and strength in order to be able to distribute them. Faith in a Being full of power and strength is therefore the first thing a person must possess, if his soul is not to perish for eternal times …. And this belief can be gained by anyone who seriously reflects on himself and his relationship to the whole of creation. Just as he must attribute meaning and purpose to everything, even to the smallest work of creation, he will also not be able to deny the meaning and purpose of his own earthly existence, for serious reflection about himself will definitely give him this certainty, because I will come to meet everyone who merely has the will to penetrate the truth. And once he has recognized his earthly existence as a means to reach a certain goal he will also consciously pursue the goal himself, because now faith awakens in him, in an Entity Which created everything precisely because of that goal, and he now leans towards that Entity, he enters into contact with It …. But man has to come this far on his own, in free will he has to turn to Me, but then I seize him and draw him to Me, yet always taking his free will into account, because this is the law of eternity. The gift of intellect and the influence of spiritual beings of light are constant help to gain faith in Me, and if the human being’s will does not oppose Me he will irrevocably progress in his development, for faith will then drive him to prayer, to thoughts which are turned towards Me, and I can now provide him with strength and grace in abundance. Anyone who has recognized the creation around him as meaningful and purposeful will also try to explain the earthly adversity to himself as appropriate, and he will soon find the right answer to the questions posed mentally. For I enlighten every person’s thinking who is of good will and seriously desires the truth. And in the adversity he will only find the confirmation of what he receives as a mental answer, the adversity will no longer be incomprehensible to him. And he himself will make an effort to live in accordance with My will on earth and join Me ever more intimately, and he will never again be without strength and grace. Yet all this is only brought about by his will, which has to turn to Me freely in order to be grasped and to find My constant support. But the will only becomes active once the human being has gained faith in Me as Creator and Sustainer of everything that exists …. And all means of help are at the human being’s disposal to gain this faith, for he can grasp and process what he sees and hears with his senses and the end result has to be a convinced belief in a Being from Whom everything emerged, for I Myself gave the human being the ability to recognize this, yet he has to use it himself of his own free will ….

Amen

Right Worship, Charity and Mercy ….

B.D. 3797 from June 11th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

If you are charitable and merciful, you serve Me in the most obvious way, for you then profess your affiliation to Me, Who is Love Itself, as soon as you carry out works of love. Mankind is in great need, both earthly and spiritually, and you should help everyone and try to alleviate the hardship. You should give where your gifts are needed, you should comfort and try to alleviate pain, and through spiritual encouragement you should come to the aid of their souls which suffer even more than the body …. You should keep their need in mind and help where you can …. And you will not only reduce the earthly hardship but awaken love and thereby also remedy the spiritual hardship, for only love is an effective antidote against all spiritual and earthly hardship and it can only be successfully controlled through deeds of love. And this is why loving activity is the only divine service which is pleasing to Me and which you can carry out at any time, on any day and in any place. Where it is necessary for you to intervene helpfully, there you should express your love and My eyes will rest favourably on you, who serve Me by doing so, who honor Me with every help you give to one of the least of your brothers …. For you are all My creatures, you are all children of one Father, and if you love and honor your fellow human beings, you also love and honor Me, and I accept your services which correspond to My will. And therefore make every effort to be of true service to God, serve Me with deeds, not just with words or external gestures which do nothing to alleviate earthly or spiritual hardship. Seek to secure My closeness, My presence, through loving activity and know that you will then be able to accomplish much in order to remedy earthly and spiritual hardship. For then it is I Who will work through you, because you draw Me to yourselves through loving activity and I can now visibly support you. You will always be offered the opportunity to be lovingly active, for the adversity around you urgently calls for help, and if you lift up those who are in need and help them spiritually and earthly, you will follow Me …. you walk the path of love which I have shown you, you live true Christianity, you follow My teaching of love and you will also experience the blessings as I have promised you …. You will inherit My kingdom, which is not of this world, for love redeems you from all sins, it makes you free and leads to union with Me, Who is Eternal Love Itself ….

Amen

Spiritual compulsion is detrimental to the soul ….

B.D. 3798 from June 12th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Spiritual compulsion may not be exerted on any human being if he is to become perfect on earth. And that is why the Word of God can only ever be made accessible to him again and again, to which he then has to make up his own mind according to his own free will. He should only know about the commandment of love, but every other commandment impairs his free will and is therefore not a blessing for the soul’s upward development. If the human being comes to terms with this divine commandment of love, then his will shall also start to become active as soon as he accepts this commandment. Then his thoughts and actions are free, they correspond to the direction of his will for or against God, and every action is now judged by God according to this will. If, however, the slightest compulsion is exercised, if man is induced by commandments to certain actions, then they nevertheless remain without deeper value before God, as they are the effects of those commandments but not of man’s freest will. And this is a use of the life force without any blessing for the soul. You humans have to differentiate between the spiritual substance’s original purpose and its completely powerless state at the time of its life on earth …. And you have to know that the latter was only the result of your own wrong will. Understandably, the original initial state has to be striven for and achieved again in complete free will, which eliminates every law of compulsion during the last stage as a human being. Now man can be shown the way through the commandment to love God and his neighbor. And this commandment should only be given to him in the form of the divine teaching, which should be made accessible to him as God’s Word and now demands his own freest opinion about it. He should by no means feel compelled to do so by punishment or the promise of reward, only the effect of a life of love or a life without love should be held up to him so that his own sense of responsibility towards his soul will be awakened as a result. But this does not mean coercion for the human being’s soul, for as long as he does not seriously turn his will towards God he also lacks faith in everything, in God, in a continued life of the soul and in a responsibility after his death …. And so far, any spiritual education does neither mean a compulsion to believe, nor a curtailment of free will …. Nevertheless, he can carry out deeds of love of his own accord, and as a result he will enter a state of weak realisation and now also seriously take a stand on God’s Word …. and this of his own free will. All spiritual compulsion must be eliminated, for it is only harmful to the human being’s soul. But the teaching of Christ should be spread diligently and those of good will shall accept it and arrange their lives accordingly. They will strive upwards and gain God’s pleasure because their will has freely inclined towards Him and this alone will be valued ….

Amen

Satan’s bondage ….

B.D. 3799 from June 13th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You are enslaved by Satan as long as you do not resist and fight him yourselves which, however, you are able to do successfully as long as you are willing to free yourselves from his bondage. He is My adversary, he tries to gain what emerged from My strength, what has belonged to Me since eternity. I also fight for this spiritual essence but I leave it to the soul itself whom it wants to acknowledge. I do not prevent the soul from striving towards My adversary, I only ever confront it with My love in order to arouse its desire to turn to Me of its own accord. But whatever wants to be free from him, whatever strives towards Me, will infallibly be seized by and drawn to Me …. And therefore, every fight against My adversary, every will to separate from him will be successful, for now I will fight with the person at the same time, I will stand by his side and the adversary will be defeated, because the person’s will has chosen Me. But prior to this the human being is held captive, his soul is oppressed, it complies with Satan’s will because he is the lord to whom it willingly succumbs.

Satan’s every ambition is contrary to My eternal order. Hence, the human being enslaved by him cannot live in order either unless he establishes a worldly order to ensure his worldly well-being with help of the strength from below, while his soul lives in darkest disorder, entirely without love and therefore entirely without strength from Me. For as long as the human being still lives on earth Satan will try to tempt him with earthly possessions and also grant him fulfilment as soon as the person complies with his will, as soon as his heartlessness proves his affiliation with Satan. And yet he is a servant of the one who seemingly provides him with earthly favours, for he will pull him into utmost darkness as soon as he leaves his physical cover, and his soul will suffer most bitter distress …. Nevertheless, it is not treated unjustly, given that its very own will on earth could also have made its decision for Me, for time and again I approach the soul warning and reminding it, and try to draw it towards Me. The will, however, is the decisive factor and if it is inclined towards Me I shall give the soul the strength to liberate itself from this force, for My power is great but it requires the human being’s will.

And every human being is able to want Me to seize him, every human being is able to use his will in the right way since My adversary cannot compel the will, because I defeated this power through My crucifixion. Consequently, the human being has to acknowledge Me as Redeemer of the world and appeal for My reinforcement of will for the sake of Jesus …. and My adversary has lost his power over Him …. But anyone who rejects Me completely will continue to live in acute bondage and will find releasing himself from it extremely difficult. However, I will also fight for these souls. Time and again I approach them in the Word and refer them to My act of Salvation, because I want to regain them and will also achieve this one day, albeit it can take an infinite time until the being’s will turns to Me of its own accord. However, deliverance from Satan’s bondage cannot take place outside of My eternal order, and therefore the human being’s will has to desire it of its own accord and choose Me, but then he will receive every assistance …. and he will become free ….

Amen

God as the Giver of Truth ….

B.D. 3800 from June 14th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

To research divine truth means to unconditionally surrender to the Eternal Truth Itself, to make contact with It through deeds of love and then to allow It to flow through you …. …. This is a process which is completely incomprehensible to the earthly-minded person and will therefore only meet with his rejection, with disbelief, but which is something self-evident to everyone who has penetrated spiritual knowledge and thus has already made contact with the Giver of Truth. This is why worldly study, even if it concerns spiritual teachings, can never ever introduce a person to divine truth so that it is fully comprehensible to him, for it remains intellectual knowledge as long as the prerequisites are not in place which guarantee the deepest understanding of it …. unselfish deeds of love, most intimate connection with God and deepest desire for knowledge of pure truth …. Then the knowledge received from the outside will also come alive in the heart, for then the spirit in the human being will explain it to himself, and only then will it be of value to the human being as spiritual property. And therefore, only those people are called to spread the pure truth from God who have acquired the truth in this way by God, for they alone will be able to explain it to their fellow human beings in a true and understandable way, but not people who have not penetrated deeply enough in spiritual knowledge themselves, who have not fulfilled all the conditions which result in high knowledge. They must all be taught by God …. God’s spirit must first be able to work in man before the pure truth is accessible to him …. God as the Eternal Truth Himself must be at work, He must enlighten the human being’s spirit through His spirit, He must flow through him with His spiritual strength so that the truth from God can now be directly received by the human being and he becomes knowledgeable. As long as this process is incomprehensible to people they are without faith and love, for faith and love already provide them with the power of knowledge, faith and love already awaken the spiritual spark which rests in the human being. But where faith and love are missing, there is no connection with God and therefore also His work is not possible, if man is not to be restricted in his freedom of will. And where faith and love are lacking, spiritual knowledge can never be acquired through intellectual thought, it cannot be transferred from person to person and correspond to the truth, for the latter presupposes God’s cooperation, Who is the Eternal Truth Himself …. Amen

Direction of will determines the influence of spiritual powers ….

B.D. 3801 from June 15th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Any spirit you turn to will have power over you. Your own thoughts and will determine the powers who approach and gain influence over you …. But your thoughts and will are supported by spiritual powers at all times, for you are fought over in the spiritual kingdom, whilst good as well as evil powers attempt to win you over. However, you yourselves decide who will conquer your souls. And thus you bear a great responsibility for your soul, for your will determines its fate in eternity.

As soon as your will is good and righteous the opposing powers will lose control over you, then the powers of light will stand by your side which will render the former powerless. But if you voluntarily turn to those powers through heartlessness and unjust thoughts and actions, then the beings of light will withdraw from you as they will not be able to influence you against your will, and you will be completely at the mercy of the former, who will push you ever deeper into ruin, confuse your thoughts entirely and impel you into God-opposing actions. And, therefore, take care of your thoughts, stay alert that they do not go astray, coerce your will into the right direction yourselves and know that you shall always find support as soon as you allow even the slightest notion of will for good to arise in you. You are too weak by yourselves and spiritual powers are always willing to assist you. Yet you yourselves have to give them the right to help you because, according to divine law which safeguards freedom of will, they may not act in opposition to your will.

However, the opposing power is likewise unable to force your will into evil actions and thoughts. They, too, can only become effective when you deliver yourselves to them through wrong direction of will. Use your will correctly, only aspire towards good, be just in your thoughts and actions, and turn your will towards God …. And you will experience a noticeable strengthening of your soul, you will gladly do labours of love, you will affirm what is good and abhor evil, for then you will receive the strength to put your will into practice. Through love you will also grow in awareness, you will acknowledge Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, as the epitome of love, and you will never turn away from Him again but become strengthened through His mercy, because all good spirits struggle to eternally gain you for God’s kingdom …. Just use your will correctly and success will be yours. Remove yourselves from the spiritual powers who want to corrupt you by using your will correctly …. Strive towards God, towards good, and live within love …. And you will also be released from all responsibility, since from the moment of your correct direction of will you will be subject to the influence of radiant spiritual beings and will be able to entrust yourselves to them without worry. Strive for God and you will reach Him, you will find unity with Him on earth or one day in eternity, because your will shall have made its decision for Him in complete freedom ….

Amen

Reassuring advice to have faith ….

B.D. 3802 from June 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You are so timid and fearful and yet could be so strong with firm faith in Me and My willingness to help …. Nothing is impossible, for My power accomplishes everything, and even seemingly impossible help can be granted to you if only you have faith. And therefore you need not be deterred by anything, you need not let hardship nor worry discourage you once you hand them over to Me in firm belief of My love and omnipotence …. Then I will help you and even solve the most difficult earthly problem …. For I will not leave My Own and will be their helper in every adversity and peril. Where else should My love and power express Itself, if not to those who strive towards Me of their own accord, and with the love of a child put their trust in the Father to help them in every hardship? …. Where else should the strength of faith be applied if not to those who are My true children, because they acknowledge and love Me and always try to fulfil My will?

When you speak of God’s greater than great love, then it will surely extend to His living creations, for love takes hold of everything and desires unification. And thus, the Father’s heart, too, moves towards His children and wants to give them unlimited love in order to please them now and eternally. The Father’s love expresses itself in never-ending helpfulness, in keeping every danger at bay, in giving the child profound wisdom and knowledge …. But the child has to accept its Father’s gifts without resistance, then it will mature and hold on to its Father with heartfelt love and be indescribably happy.

Would you then be able to experience any kind of adversity that could not be averted by the Father? Hence you should totally trust in Me and not become fearful when you are approached by hardship due to My permission or My will ….

I want to test and fortify your faith so that it will become increasingly more steadfast, and the less you fail the closer I will be to you, for I will never leave you again once you have found Me. And whatever happens, it will be good for you, for you truly do not recognise the urgency and purpose of your earthly fate. But I know how you can be helped best, and you can unreservedly trust in My guidance, you need not fear for a moment but always just take refuge in My love which will never be withdrawn from you again. Believe firmly and steadfastly that I will help you …. and My help will not fail to materialise, so that you will clearly recognise the strength of faith, so that you will feel Me and My activity, and as My children join Me ever more intimately until nothing will be able to separate you from the Father’s heart, no matter what goes on around you …. And therefore you can look forward to every day with complete confidence, and you should even believe firmly when you sense great unrest around you, for you will banish every threatening adversity through your faith, as I have promised, that strength of faith will be able to do everything …. that nothing is impossible for God ….

Amen

Submission of the will …. Supernatural power ….

B.D. 3803 from June 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

A supernatural power is at your disposal if you make My will your own will. Then I will work in you and truly do things which go beyond your natural ability. But how must your will be constituted so that it completely conforms to Mine? …. You must no longer want anything which contradicts My law of eternity, which is against the divine order which alone carries My will within itself …. You must therefore always take care of My will, you must always do what I demand of you, i.e., fulfill My commandment of love …. For love underlies My law of eternity, love moves My will, love is My fundamental substance, love is the strength which sustains everything …. and My will can only ever be to make the law of love its fundamental principle, but then you will also be in full possession of strength from Me, Who is Love in Himself. And then you will also be able to work without restriction, you will be able to accomplish things which are purely humanly impossible but which, with the power of love, are feasible for every person who has placed himself under My law. Therefore try to change your nature completely into love, for then nothing will be unattainable for your working. You will be able to command people and animals, the elements of nature, because it is always My will which moves you and nothing is impossible for My will and My strength. Then you will also be relieved of all responsibility, for as soon as My will rules you because you have voluntarily submitted yourselves to Me, you will act accordingly and whatever you do must be right and pleasing to Me. And thus you can already be exceedingly powerful on earth because you are allowed to appropriate My power at any time if you are of the same will as Me, and then you will be urged by the spirit within you to think and act in this or that way. And you will be able to carry out what you want because you will then think and act with Me and with My strength. You will be able to avert suffering and adversity if love impels you to help your fellow human being, and you will be able to command the elements, heal the sick and work miracles of all kinds, for it is only My strength which then expresses itself through you, and with My strength nothing is impossible for you. Thus, I want your will to completely subordinate itself to Mine so that you can then want nothing else but Me and I can now work through you …. Amen

Vigilance against the enemy of souls ….

B.D. 3804 from June 18th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You should be vigilant so that you do not fall prey to the enemy of your souls, for he is constantly intent on leading you astray and pushing you off the right path by all kinds of deceptive means. He also comes in the guise of a guide and thus tries to gain your trust; he promises to lead you safely to your goal, yet his goal is the world …. thus he promises you earthly advantages, help in earthly distress, he tries to pave the way for you, but all under one condition …. to surrender your soul to him, that is, to detach your senses and thoughts from God, from spiritual striving. And all his promises will demand deeds of heartlessness; every person who wants to gain earthly advantages will not be able to do so if he wants to live in love. Thus, he has to give up one or the other, he has to know that he is selling his soul if he wants to shape his earthly life into a life of well-being …. He must know that every attempt to do so is at the instigation of the one who wants to corrupt the soul. And he must be vigilant …. He must take refuge in God that He may protect him from the influence of the enemy, he must ask for strengthening of his will to do good and to renounce earthly goods …. For what do you exchange if you also create an earthly life for yourselves in prosperity and comfort? Only an unbearable fate for the soul in the kingdom beyond. For if the time of adversity comes upon you, it also has its wise meaning and purpose as long as it is permitted by God Himself. But the enemy of your soul pulls the lever precisely in the time of trouble …. He now tries to direct your thoughts and intentions towards what you lack in earthly goods, he tries to increase your greed for it and to capture your thoughts and only the strength of your will protects you from this. For what he promises is just a sham, it only benefits you for the few days of your earthly life only to then sink into nothingness and leave your souls in utmost poverty. Voluntarily renounce that which only makes the body happy but is of no benefit to the soul, live on earth in the poverty of the body and in return provide your souls with spiritual possessions which are everlasting and will follow you into eternity. Be vigilant against all temptations and remain in prayer. Ask for strength and grace and strengthening of your will. And your desire will decrease, earthly possessions will no longer seem so tempting to you, you will be able to resist all the enemy’s whisperings and receive spiritual possessions as compensation, which will make your souls a thousand times happier because they will earn you eternal life ….

Amen

Spiritual low level …. The end of a Salvation period ….

B.D. 3805 from June 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

No spiritual progress can ever be expected if humanity’s spiritual level is so low that it no longer recognises and acknowledges God. For then it is completely separate from God and thus also without the flow of strength which guarantees its spiritual progress. A short distance to God can easily be remedied, for then the soul will still move within the cycle of the divine flow of love, the strength of which will infallibly impel it to progress. But if the distance has become so great that the spiritual essence is beyond this cycle then it will also be entirely without strength and no longer able to approach God, since the opposing force will then have greater influence and pull it down to itself. But once humanity has reached this degree of development, that is, once it has regressed to this extent, it will also have forfeited its right to exist on earth as human beings, as this is solely for the purpose of higher development and it will have totally disregarded this purpose. Thus the developmental period for this human race will then come to an end. The earth will effectively repel all spiritual essence in the stage of higher development as soon as it no longer lives and acts in line with this stage of development. And this is the end of a period of redemption in accordance with divine will …. And every person can know the moment in time himself as long as he pays attention to the whole of humanity’s spiritual development.

Once the lowest spiritual point has been reached when the heartlessness becomes plainly evident, the activity of the opposing force can be recognised by the fact that instead of constant progress there will be destruction everywhere …. once people’s lives and activities are totally in opposition to God and thus against all divine order, it is no longer to be expected that humanity will voluntarily integrate with divine order again and then, according to eternal law, a disintegration of everything sheltering spiritual substances will have to take place for

the purpose of a completely new banishment, so that after an infinitely long time the goal to live voluntarily in the proximity of God can be reached yet again.

There is no other opportunity of ascent for a degenerated human race once it has reached the lowest point when all love has grown cold, since then the strengthening flow of divine love can no longer be effective and this signifies a total obedience to God’s opponent. Yet God, in His great mercy, will seize from His adversary what has become enslaved by him by banishing it into the creations again, which are outside the adversary’s influence. Hence, even the return into hardest matter is but a work of divine mercy, since it creates a new opportunity for those spiritual substances furthest away from God to take the path of higher development again, which was no longer possible as a human being.

And one day the hour of salvation will come to him too, if only after an endless time. Yet he will not be treated unjustly by being returned into solid matter, for his will is so hardened towards God that he provides the reason himself for being bound by God for an infinitely long time. For he will not change anymore once the spiritual low level has been reached when people no longer recognise God ….

Amen

God Himself comes to people in the Word ….

B.D. 3806 from June 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

He Who dwells in the midst of you in the spirit, listen to Him when He speaks to you. He makes Himself known to you in such a way that you are well able to recognize Him if you are believers, for His words of love sound no different than the words He Himself spoke on earth in the shell of the man Jesus. It is the same teaching which is now imparted to you through His obvious working through a human mouth; He makes use of a human shell in order to speak to you through it, and to make the forever and eternally constant teaching accessible to you. And His Word is truly recognizable as being of divine origin, for it only teaches love, which only divinely directed beings represent, because love is God’s direct emanation and draws to itself that which is with love again. And thus, if a teaching has the commandment of love as its content, if it wants to educate people to become love, it also proceeds from the One Who is Eternal Love Himself …. But if this teaching of love is now imparted to people in such a way that spiritual strength is recognizable, that the transmission takes place in a spiritual way, then God Himself must absolutely be acknowledged as the source where the strength originates, and faith in it must also increase the effectiveness of that which originates from God. Accept His Word as God’s Word and you will receive undreamt-of blessings from it, for then it will strengthen you earthly and spiritually because you consciously accept the divine emanation of love. He Himself is with you in the Word …. consider this in your heart and fully surrender to His effect of grace …. He teaches you Himself, He informs you of His will, of your destiny, He shows you the right path, He gives you promises and encourages you to live such that His promises to you will be fulfilled; He draws you to Himself with every Word, He courts your love and thus constantly endeavors to guide you into His kingdom in order to make you eternally happy. He is obviously active amongst His own, yet in order to recognize Him you have to believe in His love, wisdom and omnipotence …. in Himself, that He exists and that you are His creatures which can never be separated from Him …. Then you will also be able to assess the value of the gift of grace as far as this is possible on earth …. And His Word will take effect in you, it will awaken you to life, which you will never lose and thus be blessed for eternity ….

Amen

Deepest knowledge is accessible through love ….

B.D. 3807 from June 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 48

All areas will be opened up to you if you strive to explore them on the path of love. Then there will be no limits of knowledge for you, for these are only set for the human being’s intellect but not for the heart, which can receive the widest knowledge from the spirit within itself without restriction. For this is the sign of perfection, that it is unlimited …. Therefore, if the spirit from God is active in you, His working must also be unlimited as soon as you yourselves have removed the obstacles which make His working impossible. And nothing is foreign to the spirit of God, He controls all areas, and thus the human being penetrates the deepest knowledge through his spirit as soon as he has shaped himself through love into a receptacle for the divine spirit. God is most intimately united with His living creations if they do not resist Him, and thus His strength and His light must also illuminate what dwells in His proximity. And that means brightest insight into the ruling and working of God, knowledge of the plan of salvation, of the meaning and purpose of earthly life and the destiny of God’s creations. And once the human being is informed of this by the divine spirit every other connection will also be clear to him, his knowledge will expand in every direction, there will be no more darkness, no more ignorance for him, and he will become free through his will from the bondage of the one who is responsible for all darkness of spirit. But only when the human being has received the knowledge of the spirit within himself can he lay claim to being knowledgeable in truth …. Although a person can also acquire worldly knowledge through study or external input, this knowledge is irrelevant for eternity because it disappears at the moment of death and does not follow the soul into the spiritual realm. Only spiritual knowledge is valuable, which has little to do with earthly things but concerns the spiritual world and is therefore everlasting. And this knowledge can only be attained through love if it is to correspond to the truth and promote the soul’s upward development. And in order to acquire this knowledge the human being lives on earth, for the possession of knowledge is the result of a right way of life, which consists of a life of love. God’s love constantly tries to impart a wealth of knowledge to people by instructing them Himself through His true servants on earth. And His Word will always preach as the first act of love, it will point people towards the path of love so that the human being will then also attain wisdom from God …. For being instructed in the truth is the most precious thing for people as long as they live on earth. For then they will also recognize their destiny, they will recognize God’s immense love and try to conform to it. Yet only pure truth brings about the state of realisation and therefore only pure truth leads to God, Who is Truth Himself. Truth, Love and God are one …. Where love is, God Himself will act as Teacher and introduce people to the truth …. Where truth is, God is recognized as Eternal Love and union with Him is sought, and the striving for Him leads to perfection, which is the goal of every being which emerged from God in all perfection and became imperfect through its own will …. Therefore, awaken the spirit within you through love and you will be able to penetrate the deepest depths of divine wisdom, as God has promised you ….

Amen

Abodes in the Father's house …. Eternal home ….

B.D. 3808 from June 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 48

And I will bring you into My Father’s house …. So I have given you this promise you may be happy in the knowledge that one day you will enjoy the delights of eternal life as children of God, for My Word is truth and My promise will be fulfilled if you do My will …. All hardship will come to an end for you, every earthly worry will fall away, and in freedom of spirit, unbound by earthly matter, you will be allowed to dwell in those realms which belong to the kingdom of the blissful spirits and which are exceedingly glorious. On earth you cannot grasp the bliss which is granted to the souls in that kingdom, and yet you should believe My Word and live such that you will be able to move into the Father’s heavenly abodes after your passing away on this earth …. the abodes which the Father’s love has prepared for His own and which will truly be the abode of those who have become My own through their will and a way of life in love …. Why then do you still worry about your physical well-being if you know that your earthly life is only a short transition to true life in eternity? Only use your earthly life to shape your souls correctly and your fate in the beyond will be incomparably blissful, for you will be given everything your heart desires …. But make sure that the heart’s desire is not for the body, because it will pass away, but what remains eternally is only spiritual good, thus desire this with all your heart. Then your soul will dwell in exceedingly beautiful regions, it will move in creations which you would not be able to imagine on earth, and it will be in its home, in the Father’s house, where the Father’s closeness will make it eternally happy and His love will provide it with everything which will increase its bliss. For My love for you, My children on earth, is immense and I will prepare a blissful life for all of you if you return to Me of your own free will. For there are many abodes in My house and they are all waiting for you so that you can enter them and behold My glories which I have prepared for you. Live on earth with love and My love shall be bestowed upon you in the spiritual kingdom …. Give to your neighbor with love whatever he needs physically or spiritually, and My love shall give to you in the same measure, for as you measure out, so shall it be measured to you in My kingdom. And if you believe in My promise, then the short earthly life that you are still granted, will be bearable for you, despite all hardship, despite whatever is taken from you on earth …. I will consider you a thousand fold in My kingdom if you voluntarily give yourselves to Me and thus detach yourselves from matter in order to receive spiritual possessions …. For the time of your earthly misery is short, but your life in eternity lasts forever, and there will be no end to the bliss in My Father’s house ….

Amen

Spiritual guides …. Earthly Path …. Signpost ….

B.D. 3809 from June 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 48

People who do not know the right path stray and move away from the right goal instead of approaching it. And that is why they need a good guide, a signpost who knows the right path and warns and urges attention wherever there is a danger of taking a wrong turn and missing the right path. But he who knows the way also knows the goal and will now eagerly help his fellow human beings to reach this goal …. But the goal of earthly life is the spiritual kingdom in all its glory …. And the path to this is arduous and narrow, it is not easily passable but short if it is covered without stopping, if the human being does not hesitate or constantly look back and looks for an easier way to pass …. Then the goal can be reached quickly, i.e., the human being can reach a degree of perfection while still on earth, that he carries the kingdom of God within himself, that the heaviness of earth no longer weighs him down, that he has found union with God before he leaves his earthly body. But then vast realms spread out before his spiritual eye which fill him with bliss, then all the events and troubles of the path are forgotten, for they do not outweigh the glories which are now bestowed upon him. And then the soul is grateful to the guidance which has looked after it on its earthly path …. But the right Guidance is God Himself, Who instructs people on earth through His Word and thus informs them of the right path which leads to Him. And He commissions willing servants on earth to take over the office of guidance, i.e., to bring His Word to people, He first instructs His servants in the right truth so that they will then act as mediators for their fellow human beings, so that they, too, will take note of the truth, of God’s Word, which flows forth from His sanctified mouth and is conveyed by Him directly to earth through His messengers. And therefore, guides who know the right path will constantly appear along the way and guide the wayfarers correctly, informing them of the dangers they should be aware of, of the goal and of the strength from God which is available to everyone who walks the path with serious intention of reaching the goal, which is eternal bliss. And these guides are to be listened to, their advice and admonitions are to be heeded, for they are appointed by God, they are given to people so that they will not go astray, so that they cannot say that they have not found the right path but can enter and follow it at any time if they are seriously determined to reach the goal. These leaders proclaim to you the Word of God, which is the right path …. For the Word of God is truth, because God is the Eternal Truth Himself; it leads towards the goal …. eternal life …. and whoever chooses God Himself as his guide by accepting and following the divine Word can never miss the right path, he will reach his goal …. he will live for eternity ….

Time of trouble ….

B.D. 3810 from June 24th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Very soon you will be subject to further hardship, you will experience adversities which will almost seem to crush you; but then you should know that I will be closer to you than ever. Hand yourselves over to My guidance completely and remain true to Me in your hearts, so that you will recognise and profess Me in spite of all the hardship, then I will truly not leave you and you can utterly believe My Word. Nevertheless, the adversity must happen so that what is written will come true, so that the time of immense affliction is apparent to every person and can also be recognised as the last stage before the end …. The world does not want to regulate the earthly situation amicably, instead, it incites renewed struggles and wars between the nations, thus global events will enter into a new phase for a short period of time. The renewed tension between the nations will result in immense earthly adversity which My will shall bring to an end when the time is right. Yet you, My Own, need not fear this time of adversity, although it will affect you as well in various ways. For you it only signifies a test of faith again which you can pass if you join Me more firmly than ever and confidently hand yourselves over to My guidance and help. That which will happen very shortly will prove My Word to you, and then you should only abide by Me and I will help you in every adversity and danger. For everything can be overcome with My help, nothing is impossible for My strength and power, and no prayer will be left unanswered if you believe in Me and call upon Me from the bottom of your heart. You humans must live through this short phase so that your soul will derive benefit from it, and although it will be brought to a halt through My intervention it will be followed by a different tribulation. It is the time of adversity before the end and good for him who recognises it as the time of the end …. He will draw comfort and hope from every one of My Words, he will not despair but unite with Me in even more sincerity than ever and endure all earthly adversities and dangers without harm to his soul because I Myself will take him by his hand and guide him, and provide him with strength and light ….

End of the tribulation …. Judgment …. New Earth ….

B.D. 3811 from June 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Yet even the time of tribulation will pass and it will be followed by a time of profound peace and heavenly bliss for all those who believe in Me and remain faithful to Me until the end. And just as the time of adversity has come upon earth, so true is My promise of a time of peace, for My Word is eternal truth and it has to come true, a time has to follow again when there will no longer be a spiritual low and therefore all earthly adversity will be eliminated, when people will live in closest union with God and therefore also be happy. But first a sighting has to take place, which started with the great adversity and continues in the time of tribulation, when people have to decide for Me or My adversary. And only an immense tribulation will bring this about, for people have become hardened and faithless and require the harshest means of education in order to improve. Yet even this time will come to an end and this shall be a consolation for My own that I will shorten the days so that My own will not fall away from Me in the time of greatest distress. A blessed fate awaits them on the new earth …. And those who believe in My Word will find strength in this promise and withstand every onslaught of the world. For I will not abandon My own and will come to fetch them Myself once the peak of adversity has been reached. With My strength and grace even the most difficult days can be endured, but your reward is certain …. a blissful, peaceful life after this time of tribulation, where you will praise and glorify Me, where you will thank Me from the bottom of your heart, where I will dwell with you Myself visibly and tangibly because you are full of love. Therefore, do not fear the time of tribulation, endure it in view of the end, take it upon yourselves humbly, for it can still mean salvation for the lost souls and spare them the repeated earthly progress through the whole of creation. And recognize the truth of My Word from everything that still comes upon earth, for I have long predicted it so that you shall become firmer in faith, so that you can prepare yourselves for it and thus mature spiritually. Recognize My love even though people are painfully affected by My will or My permission …. This time of adversity is of great necessity for your souls but it will pass, it will not last long for the sake of My Own …. it must give way to a time of most delicious peace on the new earth, which will be enjoyed by all who are Mine and remain faithful to Me until the end ….

Complete devotion to God …. Tool ….

B.D. 3812 from June 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

In the most complete devotion to Me you will find deepest peace …. For then all forces have lost their power over you, be it men or spiritual beings, which are of a will turned away from Me. And all good spiritual beings turned towards Me will not oppress you but can only make you happy. Complete devotion to Me is the manifestation of complete submission to My will, and then you will only be ruled by one will, and this emanates from Me, and thus you can only live, i.e. think and act, in the right order, which will always bring you the most inner peace. Then the transformation of your will will have taken place on earth, you will no longer be in opposition to Me but united with Me and therefore can no longer fall back into the state of disorder, which is a state of torment for you, a state of inner turmoil, fear and powerlessness. I shall seize that which fully surrenders to Me and carefully guide it further along the path it has taken …. Complete devotion to Me is a sign of profound faith, an acknowledgement of Me as the most loving Power and Might to Whom the human being now trustingly gives himself. And I need such faith in order to approach fellow human beings through this person, otherwise a revelation to them would be impossible as long as they themselves do not have the maturity to accept revelations. I can now use a person who is completely devoted to Me as My instrument, as My organ through which I want to express Myself. For I will no longer find any resistance to My working in him and, because he is now of the same will as Me, he will speak and act according to My will, as a human being he will convey to his fellow human beings what I, as God, want to convey to them but cannot obviously do so in order not to prevent the human being’s freedom of faith. Nevertheless, it is My working, even if it appears to fellow human beings as the working of My servant on earth. Through his devotion to Me he has become a suitable instrument for Me and he will now fulfil his task with joy and eagerness, he will be driven by My spirit to speak and work for Me and My kingdom. The human being must have completely given up his own will, he must completely give himself to Me, entrust himself to My guidance and constantly desire My presence, he must remain mentally connected to Me and I will take hold of him, and all his thoughts and actions will now be My will, My strength and the expression of My love for his fellow human beings to whom I want to bring salvation through him in spiritual adversity. He has now become the mediator between Me and them, and his activity will bring him profound peace, for he now carries My will within himself and works and creates with Me through My strength ….

Fate according to the will ….

B.D. 3813 from June 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The fact that you are in adversity and distress of body and soul is not hidden from My knowledge, but neither is your spiritual direction, the will of your heart for good or evil. And this determines the course of your life, it determines the events which fatefully approach you, it also determines the effect of fellow human beings’ actions carried out in evil will, as well as My intervention according to My will. For I try to remedy the soul’s adversity, I try to bring it salvation because I know about the consequences of spiritual adversity in eternity, about the lightless state which causes the soul far greater torment than the greatest earthly adversity. If the human being’s will is good then the soul will require less harsh means of education and its course of life will not present such great trials if it is granted a certain amount of time to mature. Yet at the end of this redemption period many souls will only have to pass a short test of life, and understandably this will be more difficult due to its brevity, so that the soul will reach the goal of maturity. This is the consequence of their long rebelliousness towards Me, which did not allow them to embody themselves on earth sooner; and since, according to My eternal plan, the end of this redemption period has been timed, the duration granted to the last human beings for embodiment will become increasingly shorter and correspondingly more difficult. Yet the final goal is the same and can be reached by every soul if it earnestly strives for perfection. Yet even these souls embodied in the last human beings of this earth carry different wills within themselves, partly towards Me and partly away from Me, and this diversity of will also determines the different fates of life and the effect of the deeds which the will gives birth to. People will have to bear the heaviest suffering and are in danger of breaking, and yet people can also live amongst them who are full of strength and for whom suffering does not seem unbearable …. For I Myself determine the severity of suffering, the severity of hardship according to people’s will, which I know and try to change precisely through this hardship. And because humanity’s will shall increasingly turn away from Me in the last days, the tribulation must also become greater if a success for the souls is still to be achieved. Yet I will not consider any person unjustly, for I know every individual’s disposition and take it into account. And therefore, I provide My own with particularly rich gifts of grace in the last days, with extraordinary strength and greater than great love, because I know how difficult the last test of earthly life is for them, which they shall pass in order to be able to be close to Me …. I know every person’s will and bless him as soon as he is good. I bestow every conceivable favour upon the person and help him until the end in order to then fetch him to Me into My kingdom …. And I will shorten the days of adversity for the sake of precisely My own, I will end the time of tribulation with the day of My coming in the clouds so that My Word will be fulfilled, which promises bliss to those who persevere until the end ….

Love and suffering as means of purification ….

B.D. 3814 from June 28th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Love and suffering are the only means of purification for the soul on this earth. And if the human being eliminates love, the amount of suffering has to be increased for its own sake. Yet humanity can end this state of suffering at any time or make it more bearable if it makes an effort to fulfil the divine law of love, which absolutely has to be complied with in order to establish divine order. Then the human being will also live in order on earth, he will be spared harsh suffering, for his soul matures through loving activity …. it changes itself into love, which is its actual destiny …. The soul is shrouded in darkness, it must purify itself before the light can penetrate it …. It is in complete ignorance and must eliminate all errors and defects in order to attain the right knowledge of the truth. And this purification happens through love and suffering. If the soul is of good will then it also lives with love, and the strength from God breaks through every shell of the soul, for the supply from God is a direct consequence of its own loving activity. However, if the soul fails to do so, God shall still help it, but in the form of suffering, which is intended to put the soul into a state of loving activity, which is intended to remove all harshness from it, which is intended to shape it according to God’s will. Suffering is indeed a harsh means of education, but it can lead to success insofar as the soul can shed its faults, which have not allowed love to arise in it so far, arrogance, anger, hatred, as well as all hardness of heart can melt when it is affected by great suffering …. Then it can change, it can realise its weakness and powerlessness, become humble and call for help …. And it will be helped, for God is constantly ready to help because the recovery of every soul is the purpose of everything He allows to happen. Yet how much easier could people make their earthly fate if they did not disregard love, if they used the most effective means of purification …. love for God and their neighbour …. Anyone who is lovingly active and has to endure suffering at the same time will attain a high degree of maturity on earth, yet the strength from God will always and constantly support it and it will also recognise the blessing of suffering and not rebel against it. Yet individually, people could avert much suffering from themselves if only they were performing deeds of love. But as long as they lack faith in it, as long as they are hardened in their hearts and eliminate love from their lives, they will have to suffer, and this to an even greater extent the closer it gets to the end. For they do not have much time left and require the most effective means of education if the souls are to be saved from eternal damnation …. from an infinitely long time of renewed captivity inside the creations of the new earth, from which God wants to protect every soul and therefore grants it every help, which also includes the great suffering on earth. Live with love and you will reduce the suffering, yet without love no-one can become blessed ….

Draw strength from My Word ….

B.D. 3815 from June 29th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Draw comfort and strength from My Word …. Time and again I tell you this, because you can only mature by also receiving My strength through the Word, which guarantees your ascent. If I speak to you Myself, if you desire to hear Me Myself, you detach yourselves from the world and, by opening your heart, receive the emanation of My love, which is strength and grace …. And you will remain victorious in every battle of life. My Word repeatedly assures you of My love, which wants to give, which wants to make you happy in time and eternally …. My Word is the greatest proof of My love for you, for with My Word I give you the surest means to become perfect, thus also to be able to come ever closer to Me, and My closeness means bliss. For My Word proclaims My love to you and My Word teaches you love, because you first have to shape yourselves into love before you can endure My closeness. And thus, I draw you to Me with My Word and you draw Me to yourselves if you desire My Word and receive it with a longing heart …. Then you will also feel the power of My Word, you will be able to satisfy yourselves at any time, you will be able to take comfort if you are in need of it; My Word will strengthen your faith, increase your love for Me, My Word will spur you on to ever more livley spiritual activity and lead you to realisation. And therefore, always draw from the source of strength, from the fountain of life, receive My Word and refresh yourselves with it, and all weakness will fall away from you, you will also master earthly life, for then you will work with My strength, because I have blessed My Word with My strength ….

‘He who abides in love abides in Me ….’

B.D. 3816 from June 30th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The approach to God takes place through every work of love …. For God is Eternal Love Himself, and if a work of love is performed, the glowing spark of love in the human being will unite with the fire of divine love …. God Himself, Whose fundamental nature is Love and Strength, comes close to the human being. Only the spiritually awakened human being is able to understand this and yet it cannot be explained in any other way …. But it becomes understandable to every human being if he performs deeds love himself, then he senses God around and within himself, he feels close to the essence of the Deity himself, he no longer doubts God’s existence, for Eternal Love Itself instructs him and gives him the knowledge of the essence of love, of its origin and strength. The loving human being is in constant contact with the primary source of love, he constantly draws strength from God, for Divine Love Itself is now working in him. The loving human being can also never be without faith, for he also believes in what he feels within himself, consequently he also recognises the supreme Being because It has made Itself aware to him through love. For love is not a quality, it is the essence itself. This is too difficult for the human being of this earth to understand but will be clearly comprehensible to the soul when it discards the heaviness of earth and enters the spiritual kingdom. On earth it remains a mystery to it, which it is unable to unveil, only that the awareness of God’s presence becomes ever stronger in the human being the more he lives with love, and consequently he can no longer imagine love without God and God without love. And thus the concept of God is inseparably linked with the concept of love, and the human being progresses towards the fullest realisation of the essence of love …. Whose heart has turned into love is therefore also constantly close to God …. God Himself dwells in him, the unification of the spiritual spark resting in the human heart with the eternal Father-Spirit has taken place because the spark of love has merged with the fire of eternal love …. Man now lives in God and God is in him …. But only through loving activity can union with God be established, any other connection is impossible, because the essence of the Eternal Deity is love and only the same can unite with It. ‘He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ….’ These are His Words, which are to be taken completely literally and which allow no other explanation. And therefore His Word only teaches love so that people establish the connection with Eternal Love, because this is the purpose of earthly life, so that they become like God, so that they strive for unity, so that they become blissfully happy through love, so that they can eternally stay close to God, Who is Eternal Love Himself ….

Amen

God's intervention …. Last stage before the end ….

B.D. 3817 from July 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The gravity of life approaches you humans far too clearly that you could not recognise the time of the end. Yet it has to come as it is written so that My Word shall be fulfilled. It may be incomprehensible to you that I allow such suffering, that I do not intervene where the unkindness of fellow human beings clearly comes to light, yet the cup has to be drunk to the brim and one day you will realise that only My love was decisive in order to help your souls which do not want to recognise which hour has struck for them. You only have a short time left until the end of your days and if you were spoiled on earth your souls would be lost. But I still want to win them for Myself and therefore shall not intervene until the time is completed according to the plan of eternity. And it is drawing to a close …. And I obviously announce Myself within a very short time, I Myself shall speak with a voice of thunder, once again warning and admonishing people, and giving them proof that human will and human power will break against My will. I appear so suddenly that all worldly plans and measures come to nothing in an instant. And you can rely on this Word of Mine, and if only you take the necessary steps to put your souls into a state that you need not fear the day when I shall manifest Myself through the forces of nature, you can await the day without worry …. it will set you free either way …. it will bring about different earthly circumstances for the survivors or liberate the soul from its physical shell …. And therefore, make sure that your soul will truly become free by first detaching yourselves from everything you hold dear on earth, by only considering your soul and thus preparing yourselves for a speedy physical end. Soon, the cup of unkindness will be full and I will put a stop to it. Soon you will hear that the nations are preparing for a new battle and then you can expect My judgement every day …. For then the time will be fulfilled which I have determined from eternity, then the earth will enter the last stage before the end …. where My own will have to prove themselves, where they will have to confess Me before the world …. where My grace and My strength will obviously appear, where Satan will rage in the worst way and where I Myself will be in the midst of My own in spirit in order to guide them through all hardship and danger …. And then comes the judgement …. the end of this earth in its present form and the end of countless people who are far away from Me and will therefore be banished anew for the purpose of their former redemption …. And everything will come as I have said, for My Word is and remains truth for all eternity ….

Amen

God's guidance …. Worries about the future ….

B.D. 3818 from July 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

I Myself will guide and lead you, and therefore do not fear whatever may come …. My arm is strong and mighty and I carry every burden for you if you trustingly burden Me with it, because you believe in Me. And I constantly walk beside you, I will not leave you alone, and in this certainty you can go every path you have to take according to eternal destiny. It will become easier for you if you know that I Am your constant companion, Whom you can always hold on to and Who will always help you if you are in danger of becoming weak. It is My will that you are safely protected when My Word fulfils itself …. It is My will that you then loudly proclaim Me to all those who listen to you; that you work for Me in the midst of those to which I lead you, for I know who needs you, to whom you should bring help in spiritual adversity. And everything is prepared, which is why you need not worry about the future, for I Myself will take care of you if you work for Me, just as a master takes care of his servants if they are willing and capable labourers for him. I care for you as a father cares for his children if you express your affiliation to Me through your willingness to serve Me. And therefore, leave every worry to Me, for I consider even the smallest needs because I love you and want to help you in the battle of life, so that you devote all your thoughts and endeavours only to your soul, so that you can pursue only the spiritual goal carefree and thus strive upwards. So trustingly place your earthly welfare into My hands …. And I will arrange and order everything as it serves you, and you will recognise My love, My might and My wisdom …. Yet you should not doubt, for only the strength of faith assures you My complete support …. Entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith and I shall truly take care of you now and forever. Always and forever strengthen yourselves with My Word, live with love, watch and pray, and let everything come to you without fear and anxiety and act as you feel urged to do …. I watch over you and will not abandon you, you are under My protection and nothing can happen to you but what is best for your soul. For My will directs all events and My will only allows that which helps you to mature your soul. And My love will make everything bearable for you if only you believe in Me and entrust yourselves to Me carefree ….

Amen

Destiny …. Submission to God's will ….

B.D. 3819 from July 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

That which is granted to you according to divine will of eternity has to be accepted by you, and its blessing for you depends on how you cope with it. If you submit yourselves to divine will, you will accept your fate without grumbling and complaining, for then you will have faith in God’s love and omnipotence and expect His help without doubting. And then God will certainly help you …. If, however, you inwardly rebel against God’s divine providence, if you sullenly complain and try to defend yourselves, the weight will burden you even more, or you will receive help from below, you will be supported by the one who wants to gain you for himself in order to corrupt you. For with those who still carry too much of their own will and do not yet acknowledge God’s will, he will be preaching to the converted, he will be listened to and will win over the soul. Every person’s destiny is according to his own will, and the reason as to why the same destiny causes more suffering in one person than another is because he lacks submission to God’s will. And in order to save the soul which is rebelling against God, the adversity must affect it harder until it realises that a higher will is taking effect and it unconditionally subjects itself to the latter. And thus you humans need never believe that you can make your earthly fate easier for yourselves by taking this or that precaution …. You can certainly alter your course of life by using your own will but never its difficulties, for the gravity of events approaching you depends on how your soul needs it, and you must take your measure of suffering upon yourselves regardless of which path you are taking …. you cannot escape your destiny, because it has been determined for eternity. Only your submission of will shall make it bearable for you, for then it will have served its purpose, and you will no longer need such painful means, instead, you can live an easier life until its end. Therefore, don’t rebel against God’s will, recognise God’s will in everything that comes upon you, don’t complain and grumble but humbly bear what you are sent by God and He will take it away from you again as soon as you yield to His will. And firmly believe that He can always help you, and the strength of faith will banish every disaster …. God only wants to win you over to Himself and not lose you to the one who is His adversary, who has completely turned his will from Him and aims to push His living creations away from Him as well by inciting their will to likewise rebel against God. Therefore, don’t fall prey to the one who wants to corrupt you but recognise God as your Lord and submit yourselves to Him …. and even the harshest destiny will be a blessing for you ….

Amen

Free will ….

B.D. 3820 from July 8th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You came forth from Me and you shall return to Me again in order to remain Mine forever and enjoy all the delights of heaven. My plan of eternity has nothing else as its goal but the final unification of My living creations with Me, which, however, has to take place in the free will of these living creations, otherwise they could not be My children who are to be creatively and formatively active in all perfection. And if My living creations use their free will to draw closer to Me, it truly only takes a short time to become My image, to become perfect, just as the Father in heaven is perfect. But if My living creations prolong the time themselves of their own free will I shall not resist them, yet this is truly not My fault and My will; however, I shall always and constantly help them to reach the goal, albeit by means which appear incomprehensible to them as long as they are not yet knowing. I constantly woo the love of My living creations, for this is the prerequisite that they use their will correctly and strive towards Me. Only when the living creation is filled by love for Me will it try to unite with Me, and then the time until unification with Me will only be short …. then it will be close to the goal …. My living creations emerged from My strength of love, thus their fundamental substance is love, which inevitably has to return to eternal love again once it has distanced itself from it. For the strength from Me is indivisible, it cannot be lost, only the living creation can no longer recognise itself as what it is, and in this ignorance it can keep away from Me as long as it wants to endure the powerless state which is the result of its distance from Me …. If it longs for strength then the distance from Me will already diminish and it will strive towards the original state where it was in full possession of strength in supreme realisation. But My living creations, in order to be supremely perfect, also had to be completely free in thought and will, and they also had to be able to use their will in all directions, as good and perfect creations of Mine they also had to remain good and perfect in free will, and therefore it was given the opportunity to unfold itself in every direction …. And even if they fell into the deepest abyss, if the will expressed itself in the wrong direction, they still inevitably had to ascend again, yet also in free will, otherwise perfection would be eliminated. And only love for Me, for the Origin of themselves, allows their will to become active in the right direction, which is why I constantly woo their love, which is why I always and constantly approach My living creations in the stage of free will where it has to prove itself. Nothing will ever be lost for eternity that has come forth from Me; however, I shall use all means so that it will not have to languish in distance from Me for eternities, for only My closeness signifies happiness and bliss for the being which was created by Me, but any distance from Me signifies unhappiness, darkness and powerlessness …. a state which is the greatest torment for the spiritual being which emerged in all freedom and strength. Yet in order to form true children from My creatures, who shall possess all the Father’s rights and take up the Father’s inheritance, I cannot impose any restrictions on their will. They must find their way to Me of their own accord, they must love Me with all their heart and push towards Me and I shall draw them to My heart with joy and make them blissfully happy for all eternity ….

Amen

Urgent admonition to detach from matter ….

B.D. 3821 from July 9th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Recognise the time and adjust your life accordingly …. Anyone who is unable to detach himself from the possessions of the world will find the last days before the end very difficult, for he will lose everything if he does not belong to those who are completely corrupt, who will receive everything so as to completely renounce Me. Then I will have to take that which you are unable to relinquish voluntarily from you by force if I want to save you from entirely falling prey to the one who wants your eternal ruin. For earthly matter belongs to him and must never become the principle of your life, instead you should use it to cover your most essential physical needs so that you can consider your soul the more abundantly …. For this alone is needed in the coming time, because you only have little time left until the end. But if you spend it by just taking care of your physical well-being then your soul will go short and will have to suffer indescribably if I still want to rescue it before the end. Therefore remove whatever your body does not require and give it to your needy fellow human being, for there will be much hardship with My permission. Recognise the last days before the end by the fact that a great tribulation will befall the earth which you will be unable to avert by yourselves and which will be made even worse through My will, through My last intervention before the end. Then you all must realise that I only want you to have very little for your body, that I want to direct your mind more towards the soul, towards the spirit, and humbly submit yourselves to My will. Ignore your body and only take care of your soul, then I will take care of your physical well-being and keep you alive until the end, and you will be able to endure your last stage of life because I will help you.

And thus liberate yourselves from all earthly matter, detach your heart from it, and gladly share whatever you own with your needy neighbour. And you will not have to go short despite your externally most modest living conditions, you will be able to live and work because your soul will receive doubly what your body gives up. I must take your earthly possessions away from you if you don’t part from them voluntarily, I must implement a forceful solution if you are too weak to separate yourselves from them. But it is far better if you already detach yourselves from them in your heart before, that you no longer let yourselves be enslaved by matter, but that you leave everything up to Me of your own free will if you sacrifice everything you own to Me …. Then I will return to you what you need and also make your earthly life easier, and you will make proper use of the time until the end for your soul. For if I tell you that you that your life will not last long anymore, why should you still anxiously worry …. ? You will have to leave all earthly possessions behind when your body dies, your soul, however, will remain chained to it even in the spiritual kingdom if it hasn’t detached itself on earth already. And I want to help the soul learn to overcome it on earth and free itself from all longing for it …. Detach yourselves from matter …. I let this call resound more urgently than ever, for the care of your soul is paramount in the forthcoming time ….

Amen
