Promote My kingdom incessantly, remember the spiritual hardship of your fellow human beings and don’t pay attention to the earthly hardship, for it will pass but the spiritual hardship will remain and cause the soul unspeakable agony when its earthly life is over. Only concern yourselves with spiritual hardship and thus contribute towards the souls’ redemption on earth, and you will accomplish the greatest work of love for your neighbour if you save his soul from eternal ruin. And therefore I will also constantly fill you with strength so that you can fulfil your earthly task, therefore I will always be with you and remain in the word in order to constantly supply you with this strength. And believe that I am with you and that I help you at all times, also in every earthly adversity and distress, so that you can carry out your spiritual work in My will, so that you can speak in My name and bring the gospel to those who need it and are open-hearted, to whom I Myself convey you because I want to bring help to them, because I recognize their will, which would like to turn to Me but is undecided because people lack all knowledge. And to them you shall impart the knowledge you have received from Me. You shall bring them words of life so that they awaken and become active according to My will. Your task is unspeakably important at this time, and I take all precautions so that you can work unhindered where your activity is required. And I take all people’s weaknesses, all their faults into account, I come to their aid if only I recognize their will which is not completely opposed to Me. And therefore you will have a field of work where you must work diligently, you must not become lukewarm and sluggish, you must be constantly active, for time is short and thus your work will not tolerate any delay. Yet anyone I look after with work, anyone I take into My service, I also direct his earthly fate according to his work, and he need never worry about his earthly sustenance himself, for I take care of it, and truly, just as a good master takes care of his servants. And anyone who works for Me will never suffer any lack, he will be able to travel his earthly path unconcernedly if only he directs his gaze heavenwards to Me, to his father of eternity, Whose love every child possesses who looks up to the father with trust. I will give him strength to work for Me and My kingdom and also cover all earthly needs if he is only active for Me and participates in the work of salvation on earth, which is extremely important in the last days before the end. For the time is only short, it is approaching the end, and countless souls are in need to which help shall still be brought before the end ….

Amen

Even in the God-distant state the being is not left to itself, only that it is not aware of God’s care because it does not desire it. Nevertheless, God’s great love and mercy does not let the creature fall, but directs it in such a way that it can reduce the distance at any time. And indeed, in the stage as a human being this guidance of God is destiny, the course of life, which is rich in innumerable events that offer the human being the opportunity to approach God. In the preliminary stages God Himself determines the being’s life span as well as its activity, and the being itself cannot change anything about it or oppose God’s will …. It is in the stage of bound will and has to subordinate itself to divine natural law, but thereby also reducing the distance from God until it has come so close to Him that in the state of free will as a human being it now has to use it to approach God. Thus, as a human being its will is free but its fate in life is predetermined for it from eternity because God wants to offer it the greatest opportunities to reach the aim of approaching God. For His concern for the fallen spiritual substance is constant and where the spiritual substance itself does not push itself towards God He tries to draw it into His flow of love, yet always with respect for free will. And therefore every individual person’s fate in life is suitable to help him attain spiritual maturity if only he makes use of all opportunities and does not resist God’s loving guidance. For one’s own will can also offer resistance insofar as that it never adapts to God’s will, that it is never satisfied with its fate in life and rebels against the creator and sustainer, that it murmurs and complains and thus does not want to recognize God and turns away from Him by using its will for evil actions and thoughts in order to change the fate, which does not suit it, according to its wishes. Then God’s love and mercy will have been active in vain, then the human being will escape His guidance and arbitrarily take a different path which will lead far away from the aim …. But his will is free and God never forces him. And He has also taken this unruly will into account and determined its course on earth accordingly since eternity. But even then God will not let the being fall, only that He will use means which sometimes appear unkind and cruel to people who know nothing about His eternal plan of salvation. Yet He seeks to guide back all spiritual substances which have distanced themselves from Him, and even if it takes eternities they will reach their aim one day, for God will not abandon anything to its fate which originated from Him and has distanced itself from Him of its own free will …. until it finds its way back to Him again in free will and can now fulfil its eternal destiny ….

Amen

Pay attention to all events around you and you will also feel Me always and constantly close to you. For again and again you will be able to detect the working of those forces which want to harm you, which want to spread darkness over the earth and alienate you from Me. And again and again you will also be able to recognize My working which protects you from those forces, which constantly gives you light and draws you to Me. Anyone who wants to see also sees what is going on around him, and he knows why earthly life is so difficult for people. Yet anyone who pays attention to Me, who tries to relate everything to My will and thus also recognizes his fellow human being’s will which opposes Me, will not be unprotected against those forces which also want to draw him into darkness, for I will not leave his side and I will obviously make Myself manifest to him …. He shall not lose faith in Me because I don’t want My own to suffer damage to their souls. And again and again I will reveal Myself to the one who only looks around thinking of Me, and every event in his life will announce My nearness to him …. he will become seeing because he wants to see …. I do not keep Myself hidden from My own, and even if humanity asks doubtfully or unbelievingly: Where is God in this adversity? …. If you want to see Me, you will also see Me, yet you can only feel My presence if you earnestly desire it, if you take refuge in Me with all your needs and concerns in faith, for then you will also possess faith in Me, then you will not doubt that I can help you and also want to help you …. But if you don’t carry this faith within you, you won’t come to Me in prayer either, and then I won’t be able to reveal Myself to you either …. Yet pay attention to everything that happens around you and you will also be able to notice the visible help of those who believe in Me, you will be able to see My working there, for I always remedy their adversity so that you, who are still unbelieving, will also learn to believe, so that you will also find your way to Me and take the path to Me in all adversity …. For it is extremely necessary for you to establish contact with Me, otherwise you will remain without strength and unable to mature spiritually, as is your task on earth. Look around you, pay attention to the life of every individual and recognize My care where you find faith in Me …. For these are My own whom I always consider, to whom I give what they need and whom I guide through all dangers of body and soul. And take them as an example, act like them, think like them and establish contact with Me, and I will help you to reach your aim, I will help you spiritually and earthly if only you acknowledge Me and humbly approach Me so that I accept you as My children …. For I dwell visibly near everyone who draws Me to himself through intimate thoughts and loving activity …. Anyone who wants to see will also recognize Me in the smallest events, he will be able to recognize My love and care, he will recognize the divine guidance in the individual’s life fate, he will be able to recognize Me Myself, for I reveal Myself to anyone who wants to recognize Me ….

Amen

Whatever strength you open yourselves to will fill you …. If you give yourselves to the strength of My word, if you accept My word with an open heart, the strength of Me must also fill you and make you strong and resistant to all onslaughts of the world. And you will be able to master your earthly life, but you will also be able to successfully cover the earthly course spiritually, for the strength from Me is stronger than all resistance, be it spiritual or earthly. The strength from Me removes all obstacles, it will always have an uplifting effect, and whatever the human being wants to accomplish …. he will be capable of every achievement, for he is in union with Me, and where I can work everything is possible …. My strength, however, is always and constantly supplied to you with My word, and therefore you should desire it with a hungry heart, you should open yourselves up to Me Myself, want to listen to Me and arrange your life accordingly, you should always give Me the opportunity to fill you with My strength through the word, for you always and constantly require strength from Me, be it for spiritual or earthly activity. Without the supply of strength you will never be able to accomplish your task on earth. For it requires My cooperation, because you are weak, powerless creatures, even if you seem to have great vitality at your disposal. Without My help you have fallen prey to the forces which want to take advantage of your weakness by also supplying you with strength which, however, is detrimental to your soul. And this strength conspicuously expresses itself in earthly help but spiritual downfall. For the source of strength is My adversary who seeks to increase his own strength by continually taking possession of that which was created by Me and thus testifies to My strength. He tries to push it away from Me in order to prevent My supply of strength and to make it inclined to his will. But anyone who claims that strength by surrendering his own will to My adversary is lost for eternal times. For you must open yourselves to the constructive strength but never to the destructive strength. And this emanates from Me alone and is offered to you in abundance in the form of My word. And therefore always draw strength from My word as often as you need it, and you will truly not be in a state of weakness, you will be willing and able to live, for only one thing is necessary for all people, that they take care of the soul’s nourishment, that they supply it with the strength to live, that they accept My word, that they desire it and through their desire the source is constantly opened to them from which the living water flows towards them …. the living water, My word, which contains strength in all abundance. For I have blessed My word with My strength …. I Myself am in the word with those who receive it, and where I am every weakness and lack of strength must also be remedied, and the human being must emerge victorious from every battle of life, spiritually and earthly he will be able to solve his earthly task because I Myself stand by his side and support him with My strength ….

Amen

Immerse yourselves in My word and you will always clearly recognize what you lack, for I Myself approach you in My word and inform you of My will. If you are then active according to My will it will become a certainty in you that you will develop upwards, for you mature in realization …. And thus you must live according to My word, you must not merely be listeners of what My grace and love from above offers you. You must live out My word and all My promises will also come true for you. But one of My promises is: He who receives the least of My brethren receives Me ….. Thus I value his service of love to his neighbour extremely highly, I value it as if it was meant for Me Myself, and My reward will be accordingly. For to be accepted by Me, to be provided by Me with everything the human being needs, is truly the greatest gift in return which can be offered to you, and thus this promise includes everything in itself, it is extremely comforting for poor, oppressed and weak people if only they always act like brothers towards their fellow human beings, if they help where their help is requested spiritually or physically. I will never abandon a person who helps his fellow human being in his adversity, he will always be able to be certain of My help and I will truly take care of him in every way. For he has become a doer of My word, he has made My will the guiding principle of his actions and thoughts, he has entered into My will, and consequently he can entrust every worry to Me …. I will take them from him because he has accepted Me …. And if only you always immerse yourselves in My word then earthly life will also become easy for you, for again and again it depends on your will as to how far it aligns itself with Mine. And My word informs you of this will of Mine …. However, My word not only contains My demand on you but it also informs you of the effect of following My will. And since this knowledge is imparted to you, a rich treasure is at your disposal which you only need to lift, for earthly and spiritually you are now in My care and you no longer have any reason to be anxious or to worry, whatever their nature may be. I stand by your side as father, as brother, as friend, as constant helper, and My help is your surest guarantee that you will survive the battle of life and also mature spiritually, for with Me and My strength you are able to do anything. Therefore immerse yourselves often and vividly in My word, accept it and live accordingly, and every promise will come true for you, for My word is and remains eternal truth.

Amen

Proclaim My Word to those who are sent to you by Me …. This is My will, for time is pressing towards the end. Therefore you always will have to take the paths I predetermined for you from the start, and you will always recognise My wisdom and love in My guidance, you will learn to understand that you also need difficult circumstances in order to mature, for the more highly developed you are the more successful your activity will be before the end, for then you will be active representatives of My Word. But My Word must be made accessible to people, they should become aware of the great responsibility they have towards their soul. Only I Myself can give them the right information, and this has to happen through you, for a human mouth has to proclaim what originates from Me and testifies to Me. I want to speak to all people through a human mouth and you shall be My mouthpiece through which I proclaim My will. This important task is extremely beneficial for yourselves as well as for your fellow human beings and you will indeed gladly comply with this task, you will feel happy if you work in My name and eagerly strive to use every opportunity. Yet you must completely hand yourselves over to My guidance; you must take the direction I show you, and what I tell you to do through the voice of the spirit you must accomplish without reluctance and therefore constantly listen to the voice within, and you will act according to My will.

Countless souls suffer hardship for they do not know the truth, and every misconception is a danger for the soul. To bring them truth is an act of neighbourly love, for truth alone sets people free, it ends hardship, and only truth leads to Me, Who is eternal Truth Himself. Hence anyone who wants to reach Me should not take wrong paths, he needs to be shown the right path and he has to travel it …. He has to comply with the Word which directly comes from Me and is conveyed to earth through My messengers and distributed …. And therefore I Myself will guide those people to My servants who desire clarification, who live in error, and they will be able to succeed in all places, they will find good ground which they can plant on and cultivate, so that I can gather a rich harvest on the Day of Judgment. I will send My messengers to all places where spiritual hardship exists, so that they will bring people the pure Gospel, as I Myself proclaimed to them. For the time is approaching its end, and great spiritual hardship can be controlled if you are willing servants for Me, if you stand up for My Word and appeal to Me for My blessing and My grace. For you are My pillars during the last days before the end, you are the labourers I hired to work in My vineyard, you are My servants and the great task awaiting you is to cultivate countless fields …. Countless souls need to be guided into truth, and if you contribute towards it, the immense spiritual hardship can be controlled and every soul helped by you will be eternally grateful to you ….

Amen

The Spirit which controls infinity is incessantly active, for His emanation of strength never diminishes, just as He never tires of using the strength for creating and shaping. And thus new creations constantly emerge, both in a spiritual and earthly sense …. He causes His thoughts to take on a shape for the redemption of the as yet bound spiritual substances, but He also lets spiritual works of wonder arise to delight the beings of light to which all splendours of heaven are revealed. His creative spirit and His creative will are supreme and never ending and always guided by His boundless love which wants to make everything which has emerged from His strength happy. And even if eternities should pass, there will be no end to new creations because His strength has to take effect in order to increase within itself. Therefore the spiritual being which animates earthly …. thus material …. creations is in constant contact with the centre of strength and, by receiving strength, is able to enter into the circuit of God’s flow of love again from which it once distanced itself of its own free will.. Thus it increases its own strength just as it furthers the process of redemption of the spiritual beings which still exist outside of the circuit of God’s flow of love. All material creations are a means to redeem the spirits; however, spiritual creations are the ultimate object, that is, indescribable pleasure of the redeemed spirits.

And God’s creative will never diminishes because His love is never-ending. But He also causes creations to vanish, and that happens if they no longer fulfil their purpose …. if the inherent spiritual being lacks the impetus towards advance, if it opposes God’s will and averts its own will from Him …. Then He will dissolve what He created, so that the spiritual substance can reach the goal in a different form. Yet this dissolution of His creations is only planned to happen periodically, just as His wisdom has recognised from the beginning to be necessary for the constrained spirits within the creations. In contrast, spiritual creations are everlasting, they merely change all the time and ever more glorious formations arise, which no human intellect can possibly imagine and no human heart ever dream of. Yet in every new period of time there will also be even more glorious creations which differ from the previous ones and testify to God’s love, omnipotence and wisdom, Who reveals Himself in all creations. His strength is invincible and therefore He will never cease to be creatively active, yet the soul will only be able to recognise its extent when it has attained a specific state of maturity which enables it to behold spiritual and earthly creations. Only then will it be filled with reverence and love for its Creator Whose love created it too, in order to make it blissfully happy for all eternity ….

Amen

You were all born to beatitude but not to damnation. Your destiny is to work in accordance with divine order, and such always signifies beatitude, which is why divine love constantly seeks to place you into the state of order if you have left it of your own free will. To live in divine order is therefore the first and last aim of everything that has been created capable of life by God …. But then the created is also perfect, as it was from the beginning. It is active in love, for only such means life according to God’s will. If the law of love is disregarded, then the created being also stands outside of divine order, because love underlies all law, because without love no law emanating from God is conceivable. Therefore love is also the epitome of bliss, and lack of love means damnation, torment and eternal death. As soon as the divine order is established, the creature also knows everything, it stands in knowledge and thus in light …. it sees through everything, it recognizes everything, it knows the purpose of even the smallest work of creation, it knows the connection of the created with its creator, and this state of knowledge is blissful, for it impels it to increased activity in love and constant increase of strength, because loving activity generates strength and thus the created being is in fullness of strength and can achieve everything it wants. To live in the divine order is a state of perfection, a state of freedom and communion with God, it is the state of the originally created, which inevitably has to be reached again if it was ever left. For something imperfect cannot remain in union with God, but union with Him is bliss. However, the fact that the creatures are in an imperfect state was free will, which God tries to bring back to the state of perfection. And thus He shows them the path to divine order, He shows them the path to love, He seeks to reshape their will so that it enters divine order of its own accord …. But He encounters resistance …. In their imperfection God’s creations, the people on earth, do not realize that they disregard the divine order; they do not know about the connection between themselves and the eternal creator, for they do not live in love, which alone brings them light …. And therefore they are wretched on earth and also remain so in the spiritual kingdom because they live outside of divine order. Yet one day they will have to fit in, for even the most wretched creature has to return to the father, to its origin, God will not let even the most wretched creature fall but will stand by it until it has raised itself up of its own accord, until it has entered the state of divine order, until it has changed into love and now, through unity with God, also attains eternal beatitude. For His law of eternity is based on love and love allows nothing to be lost, except that the state of imperfection can be prolonged by the creature’s will itself and God leaves the creature freedom of will, yet one day even the most unruly creature will return to Him, it will walk the path of love, it will integrate itself into divine order and become and remain blissfully happy for all eternity ….

Amen

The relationship you have with God is the measure of grace and strength you receive. You can be considered without measure if you have only entered into the right relationship with the father from eternity, if you, like children, approach the father and ask Him …. But you can also approach Him as strangers, certainly asking Him as your God, your creator and sustainer, and you will likewise not ask in vain, but the flow of grace will only touch you weakly because you don’t open your heart to receive Him in full. A child that asks is always ready to receive, it desires, and its desire is satisfied. And the child will come ever closer to its father, it will love Him ever more, fully trust Him and never want to separate from Him. But as long as this right relationship between the human being and God has not been established he lacks strength, and then he tries to gain strength on his own authority, i.e. he uses his vitality to a greater extent in order to create help for himself where he needs it, although it is nevertheless available to him in an unmeasured amount. He then overprotects earthly things and also falls behind in spiritual development …. Without divine strength of grace spiritual ascent is not possible, whereas earthly ascent, the improvement of earthly circumstances, can certainly be achieved by using the strength of life, but then always at the expense of spiritual development. But the right relationship with God guarantees both, for the heavenly father does not leave His children in adversity of body and soul, He grants them every spiritual and earthly support, and thus a right child need not fear any lack, it need not fear any earthly worries, just as its spiritual ascent is assured. Anyone who still looks for God in the distance, who has not yet recognized Him as an ever-loving father Who provides His children with strength and grace, will also still have to struggle with great earthly temptations, earthly life will still hold him captive with its charms and he will have to face many temptations, from which the right relationship with the father will protect him …. For to the same extent as the human being strives towards God he strives away from His adversary and consequently also from matter, which is part of the one who tries to bring people to ruin. And therefore the right relationship with God is absolutely necessary if the human being wants to overcome the world, matter, which still stands between him and the pure spirit …. And if a child requests the strength of grace from the heavenly father it will also be abundantly provided for and reach its aim on earth far sooner than the human being who has not yet established the right relationship with God; for his supply of strength is small because he does not open himself to undivided reception …. For God distributes His gifts according to desire, He gives to the supplicant without restriction, yet He does not consider it against his will if his prayer does not sincerely request grace and strength, because He wants to be called upon as father by His children so that His children will reach the aim ….

Amen

Every spiritual exchange of thoughts is beneficial for the human being’s soul, and therefore it is always more advisable to give a person the opportunity to express himself in return than to shower him with spiritual thoughts and make counter-questions impossible. The spiritual knowledge imparted to him will much sooner become his own thought knowledge, which can only ever happen through commenting on it until it also becomes a conviction in himself. Questions and answers facilitate the process of acquiring the mental knowledge, furthermore, a person’s thinking is stimulated such that the beings of light can now intervene and guide the thoughts of people who are entrusted to them for spiritual guidance. Furthermore, errors can be corrected more easily, just as the desire to penetrate deeper knowledge is awakened in the fellow human being if he is truthfully enlightened and recognizes this by the kind of instruction he receives. Knowledgeable teachers will always find a larger circle of listeners, and people can only convince themselves of knowledge if they are given the opportunity to ask questions about the knowledge presented to them. For this reason the gospel should also be proclaimed in such a way that it prompts the listener to speak freely, he should be encouraged to speak back, so that it leaves a deeper impression, so that it is not only received with the ears but with the heart. Then it will come alive in the person, then the teacher will also be guided by the spirit of God, then God Himself will speak to people through him, He Himself will be in the midst of those who preach and receive His word. For His promise is: “Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them ….” He wants to speak to you Himself through the mouth of the individual, He wants to answer your questions and arrange your thoughts, yet for this you humans must also become mentally active yourselves, only then will the instructions be a blessing for you, only then will you derive the right benefit from God’s word, which is imparted to you at all times and in all places where you desire to receive it yourselves. And therefore seek frequent unity for the purpose of spiritual exchange of thoughts, seek clarification where you are still unclear by asking your fellow human beings questions, ask God for true teachers who can provide you with truthful information, and don’t be satisfied with the presentation of the divine word in a form which gives you too little opportunity to express yourselves, for only through questions and answers can you increase in knowledge, because only then will what is imparted to you gain life and only then spur you on to follow the divine will. Let the eternal teacher always dwell amongst you so that He Himself can guide your thoughts and thus instruct you in such a way that it will be a blessing for you ….

Amen

The various schools of thought will, due to their deviation from each other, always quietly fight each other in as much as each will try to lay claim to the truth and will therefore not want to accept the other. Yet, in the last days, they will all walk together, provided Jesus Christ’s teaching is their basic principle and they confess His name. Then, all other differences will disappear into the background because every spiritual aspiration will be fought and every spiritual aspirant will therefore seek to meet other people of like mind. Thus, the teaching of Christ will emerge from every school of thought and their followers will belong to God’s parish, to His church, which He Himself founded …. They will belong to this church because of their faith in Jesus Christ in spite of belonging to different schools of thought. Each one will discard external practices and customs and only pursue the inner connection with Jesus Christ, and each one will foster love, teach love and practise love.

The battle against all schools of thought will be carried out particularly brutally so that half-hearted people of little faith will fall away if they do not have a profoundly living faith because they will not be able to offer resistance, they will falter under the burden imposed on them by the world. The cause of their failure will rest in the error which can be found in every school of thought, when serious action against them forces them to think about it. Any person who lives within truth due to his loving actions and correct instruction by God’s chosen servants will also muster the strength of faith and not waver during any hardship, because the truth will give him strength as well as perception. Thus, he will know of the approaching end and the salvation from utmost adversity by God Himself. However, he will not be able to find this perception through misguided teachings and his faith will falter and desert him when he is confronted by the serious choice to either confess Jesus Christ before the world or to deny Him. Then the person, whose works of love have made him receptive to God’s truth, will be strong, he will offer resistance and need not fear any worldly measures because he will expect God’s help which he will receive whenever his body or soul experiences hardship.

Then the church of Christ will only be small and followers of every school of thought will seek refuge in it, and every hatchet will be buried just as all outward appearances and ceremonial actions will fall by the wayside in view of the immense persecution which all followers will have to fear. For the individual’s psychological development it is also beneficial for him to only take notice of the core, to recognise the Christian teaching of love as the core and thus his faith will be strengthened the more he abides by this teaching. The group of believers will get smaller, it will only be a small flock but they will live in the truth, in the right knowledge, and they will survive the hardest trials of the last days and emerge as victors, because the church of Christ will be victorious and embrace all who live in love and faith, who acknowledge Him before the world and are filled by His spirit as a result of their continuous actions of love …. The defenders of Christ will join together from all schools of thought and face up to their last battle, and God Himself will be their commander-in-chief. God Himself will protect them, the shield of faith will cover them and make them invincible …. they will fight in the name of Christ and victory will be on their side ….

Amen

The will for good also infallibly results in the supply of strength, and therefore every person will also be able to carry out what he wants, because through his thinking turned towards the good he already enters into contact with the giver of strength from eternity. And he who wants to act well will be able to act well …. For this was achieved by the divine redeemer, Jesus Christ, through His death on the cross …. He acquired increased strength and a stronger will for people, He overcame death, i.e. He set the bound will free, He wrested the power over the human being’s will out of God’s adversary’s hand so that the human being is certainly able to give his will to good and also to let it become action. Christ’s act of redemption was of utmost importance insofar as people had previously been under the control of God’s adversary and could not free themselves by their own strength because their will was repeatedly weakened by him as long as they did not confront God’s adversary with the most effective weapon, with love, which is the conqueror of even the soul’s worst enemy. And therefore God showed people the way through Jesus Christ, He proved to them the strength of love and acquired strength supply and strengthened will for humanity through His death on the cross, so that the human being can escape God’s adversary at any time who believes in Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world and who, through love, makes himself an aspirant of the blessings acquired through His death …. It will certainly be possible for him to want and act well, he will not be at the mercy of the enemy of souls without resistance, if he only strives towards God he will also always receive the strength to accomplish what is pleasing to God. This is why the eternal deity embodied Himself in a human being in order to give all people the evidence that there is a path they only need to take in order to become free from the dark power. People have a task to fulfil on earth, and this fulfilment will never lie in the realm of the impossible. But before the act of salvation people were in extreme spiritual hardship due to their weakness of will in the face of temptations and challenges which, however, were granted by God to His adversary. Through a strong will to love they could have resisted him. And they lacked this, and therefore they remained in his bonds, the striving for good remained only mental intentions without execution …. And a few felt this weakness, and they suffered from the bound will …. But Jesus Christ redeemed them through His death on the cross. He took the path which all must take …. the path of love which also strengthened the will for good, because through love He gained strength from God and was able to become master of every responsibility …. He broke the power of death, for dead is what lies bound on the ground, what is powerless and therefore remains inactive. And He not only accomplished the act of salvation for the people of His time but for all times He acquired the grace of a strengthened will for people who believed in Him and consciously placed themselves under the cross, i.e. who want to belong to those whom He redeemed from eternal death themselves. They will not lack strength, they will be able to be good if they want to be good, they will live in love, thus they will try to follow the man Jesus because they acknowledge Him as God’s Son, as redeemer of the world, in Whom God was in all fullness, because through love He had completely united Himself with God and therefore also possessed power and strength in all fullness to defeat the enemy of souls, to wrest power over people’s souls from him. For love alone is the remedy from enemy violence, through love alone the human being becomes strong and powerful and can defeat the enemy of the soul ….

Amen

My call goes to all those of you who receive My Word: Prepare yourselves for the coming time which will considerably change your circumstances of life, which will confront you with immense spiritual and earthly tasks and which you therefore cannot take seriously enough if you don’t want to damage to your soul. For you must already draw strength in advance because overwhelming requirements will be demanded of you, both spiritually as well as earthly. Earthly life will burden you so heavily that you will only be able to endure it with Me and My help, and therefore you must first of all remain in contact with Me, you must not waver in your faith and think that I have forsaken you, for you can only find comfort and strength in your faith in Me, then you will come to Me and I will help you. And although many people around you will lose faith in view of the immense adversity which will irrevocably occur …. remain steadfast and devoted to Me in your heart and you will feel Me and My presence, you will always find the help which I had promised you. As yet you are unable to believe that which I have proclaimed to you time and again, as yet it still seems questionable to you that I Myself will visibly appear …. Nevertheless, the hour comes constantly closer and with it a complete change of your normal living conditions …. And you should prepare yourselves for this already by detaching yourselves from all material things in advance, by leaving your further lifestyle entirely up to Me and in complete faith in Me only take care of your soul. For regardless of how much care you take you will be unable to keep earthly things if I consider it more helpful for you to lose them …. Yet whatever I want you to keep will not be touched by the forces of nature through which I will manifest Myself.

Believe that I direct everyone’s fate according to My love and wisdom and that any anxious worry by you is unfounded. I Myself look after My Own such that they will still be able to achieve as much maturity of soul as possible on Earth.

The time until the end is but short and for many people it will also signify a shortened life on earth; they should and would indeed be able to reach the goal, even in a shorter time, because My love makes every opportunity available to them. Therefore, take My Words seriously, count on a speedy end and on the natural disaster beforehand, and expect it daily, for it will come suddenly, even for My Own. And utterly entrust yourselves to Me …. I will never ever leave you if only you remember Me, and if you call upon Me in your heart I will hear you. Yet make full use of the time before, let go of all earthly striving and only try to gain spiritual benefits. And remain faithful to Me even in times of greatest adversity and you will have Me as a constant helper by your side, you will evidently experience My often miraculous help, for I have promised you this and My Word is and remains eternal truth. Believe in this and also in the forthcoming great time of adversity and prepare yourselves for it by constantly drawing strength from My Word, by seeking Me more sincerely then ever and by remaining in constant contact with Me through prayer and actions of love, for you will need much strength so as not to falter when I manifest Myself through the forces of nature …. However, don’t fear anything regardless of what will happen, for I will protect My Own so that they will be strong supporters for Me during the last days before the end, who shall help to spread My Word in order that souls of good will shall still be saved ….

Amen

All conditions for the creation of a new earth have to be in place before the old earth will be disintegrated, that is, before a total change of its outer shape can take place. The earth effectively has to go through a disintegration process which releases all spiritual substances bound therein so that they can take on new forms in creations which enable their continued development. Thus the process of final devastation has to be so powerful that one can speak of a total disintegration of matter. This cannot just apply to individual stretches of land, but eruptions have to take place within the earth’s core which will spread into all directions, so that the whole of the earth’s surface will be affected, that therefore nothing will remain of what previously existed but that everything will be dissolved into their smallest components.

And this will be caused by people themselves …. they will become embroiled in a scientific area which is beyond their intellectual capacity. They don’t know the natural laws and their effects to enable their investigation of such an area and thus they will activate forces which they themselves will be unable to control. However, I will not stop them, for even this human will underlies My eternal plan of Salvation, because the period of time the souls were granted for their salvation will then also have expired.

Thus the process of the final destruction will indeed be triggered by human will, yet it also corresponds to My will in so far as that it will guarantee an assured progress for the spirits which are still bound in hard forms and long to become active, or I could let the experiments fail in order to divert people’s plans. Hence the tests will take place locally yet they will have no boundary because the released power can no longer be stemmed and thus its elementary effect will spread into all directions. For the earth is a limited region, whereas the activated force knows no boundary and everything affected by it will fall prey to it.

The consequences of this process are not conceivable to you humans, besides, it will happen within a space of time which will rob you of all thoughts, unless you belong to the small flock of My Own who observe the last work of destruction, because it is My will that they shall witness the end of this earth. But you can get a faint idea if you imagine an explosion taking place which leaves nothing that is assembled in existence, which thus totally destroys everything and dissolves it into smallest atoms. Yet preceding this process, which only takes a few moments, are tremors and outbreaks of fire which completely suffice to throw people into utter panic because they are facing certain death. And now it can also be understood that nothing can stay behind, that no creation will continue to exist, but that only matter dissolved into smallest atoms will remain which will be shaped again by My will and My might into unimaginable creations in which the spirits’ process of development will continue.

And again there will be creations in various degrees of solidity, yet the hardest matter will shelter the spiritual essence which had populated the old earth and completely ignored its spiritual development. For these souls cannot expect a continued development in the spiritual kingdom, they will have to take the path through the whole of creation again, and thus will begin a new era of development as soon as the time is fulfilled, as soon as human will insistently wants to release forces which require a different degree of spiritual maturity than the people at the end of this period of Salvation possess, and who therefore will never express themselves constructively but only destructively ….

Amen

You humans are only able to fathom the laws of nature to a limited extent, because this is My will as long as your soul’s maturity has not reached a certain degree. But you can break through the barriers I have set for you at any time with My help, and then every area is accessible to you, every knowledge is accessible to you, and every research is possible for you. For then you will have Me Myself as your teacher Who will truly instruct you correctly even in areas which require human intellectual activity in order to achieve the right result. And thus you must possess spiritual maturity for this, you must be in contact with Me in thought and action. But as long as you lack this spiritual maturity you will not be able to distinguish truth from error and thus also be unable to fathom forces, to ascertain their cause and effect and to use them accordingly. You can certainly make attempts at any time and seemingly increase your knowledge, but you can also work with the support of that power whose constant endeavour is to destroy My works over which it has no control itself. And therefore I will never bless such attempts unless they are pure works of neighbourly love, attempts to help the suffering human race without wanting to achieve your own advantage. Then all powers will become subject to you, then you will be able to use them without limitation and achieve the greatest success, for then you will also have reached a certain degree of spiritual maturity which will guarantee you right and true thinking, and you will be able to enrich your experiences and be beneficially active. But humanity has now reached such a low point that even the researchers work without Me, that they are only purely intellectually active and only strive to make the forces of nature useful for the sake of earthly success.

(4.1.1947) Thus I have set a limit for them which they cannot exceed with their wrong attitude towards Me and matter …. And thus their research and calculations will not be free of error, even though they are convinced of their correctness and experiment on them. The laws of nature are only partly known to you, for My emanation of strength is immense, it flows through the whole of infinity, and not arbitrarily and haphazardly but, according to My fundamental law of eternity, distributed to all creations in such a way that their existence and preservation is assured as long as a work of creation has to fulfil its spiritual task. Thus strength is bound to a certain extent, its strength is adapted to the size of a work of creation and, as long as the right proportion is maintained, it will have a sustaining and constructive effect. Therefore the measure of strength cannot be arbitrarily increased, otherwise the effect is a destructive one. I Myself, as creator of eternity, certainly have the power to cancel the effect or to distribute it such that a balance is created through the emergence and revival of new creations, however, the human being lacks this power due to his imperfection, and thus a force triggered by his lack of understanding falls back on him, i.e., it not only destroys those who are ignorant of My laws of nature but it destroys the whole work of creation which sustains people for the purpose of maturing their souls …. I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and reject the understanding of the intelligent …. As long as they approach research without Me their thinking will be clouded and the result wrong …. And the result will be an uncalculated effect, a downfall of the work of creation, the preservation of which requires strength flowing towards it in the right measure. And thus human will, which does not have Me but exclusively matter as its aim, will cause the last work of destruction on this earth without being prevented by Me, because the time is fulfilled and the whole of humanity, apart from the small flock of My own, is ripe for destruction ….

Amen

And your share will be light or darkness. You will stay in the light if you had allowed the light to enter you, if you had let it flow into your hearts and thereby dispelled the darkness you lived in until you were touched by the light from the heavens. However, if you avoid the light darkness will be your fate …. And spiritual darkness means wandering about lonely, it means being all alone in darkest surroundings without goal and without hope for a change in your situation. Hence a soul staying in darkness in the beyond suffers indescribably, since previously it had physical eyesight enabling it to recognise everything surrounding it, but now it will require spiritual vision in order to behold spiritual things, however, the soul will be spiritually completely blind. And thus it will stay in a dismally barren region, and if it encounters other souls it will be unable to recognise them and thus will have to depend on other soul’s help for guidance, for providing it with an occasional glimmer of light to recognise its environment.

The enlightened souls, however, will take care of such poor souls, yet their help is limited according to God’s will, for they are not allowed to give light to them against their will. As long as the soul does not miss the light it has to languish in darkness, no matter how long it will last. It has to long for light, its condition has to become intolerable, and it must demand a change of its situation, only then will the bearers of light approach and provide it with a small glimmer of their light …. they will offer a few explanations and, depending on its willingness to listen and to accept them, the light will then take effect on the soul.

Its insufferable situation can awaken or enhance the soul’s willingness to help as soon as it encounters other suffering souls. It will clearly recognise the suffering even though it is unable to recognise much, and as soon as the suffering of these souls stimulates its will to help it will become brighter within and the opportunity to help a suffering soul will present itself. Then it will feel an influx of strength, and it will use this strength to render assistance and in turn will be assisted itself by the beings of light, which will never leave such a soul again. It will receive because it gives, because love will have awakened within and every activity of love on earth as well as in the beyond results in receiving strength; strength and love, however, are always together …. its will becomes stronger and its realisation will grow …. The darkness is penetrated, and for the time being it will give way to a twilight which is followed by a golden dawn …. when the sun of the spirit has risen, that is, when the soul receives knowledge on every subject from the beings of light, which delights the soul and will impel it into constant actions of love, that is, into giving of what it owns itself, to souls which still languish in utter darkness.

Every soul is able to escape the darkness; every soul is able to deliver itself, yet the reason for imparting light must always be a loving thought, for without it the beings of light are not allowed to distribute gifts, because free will has to strive for light or eternal night will continue to engulf the soul and the consequence can be a descent into the deepest abyss. Light, however, belongs to beatitude, and once the soul has developed spiritual vision it will recognise its task and behold splendours and never again descend into darkness ….

Amen

The beings of light always dwell close to earth in expectation that a soul will open itself for the ray of light from above. But people rarely turn their thoughts to the spiritual kingdom, and therefore only a few can be mentally influenced as it is helpful for their souls. People’s will is far more turned towards the earthly world, and this drowns out the voice from the spiritual world. And that is why voices must also sound on earth, voices must become loud in the midst of the worldly hustle and bustle which announce the same thing the beings of light would like to convey to people. People must convey to their fellow human beings what they have received from the kingdom of light, and thus they are, as it were, the organs through which the beings of light announce themselves, through which they make themselves heard for the spiritual gifts, for their mental emanation, which is intended to touch all people through them who open their hearts to the spiritual influx. The beings of light are constantly active because their help is urgently needed in the last time before the end. And thus they try to direct people’s thoughts into the spiritual realm, they try to introduce them to the truth by guiding the ignorant to the knowledgeable or by initiating spiritual conversations in order to mentally influence the teachers and listeners and then exert their own influence on all those whose thoughts dwell on the questions raised. Then the right answer can reach them, it can be conveyed to them by the beings of light, then the beings of light can work according to their task, they can express their love for people by conveying the pure truth, they can be active and continuously distribute what they themselves receive from God …. spiritual knowledge which corresponds to the truth …. Every spiritual conversation on earth is the work of these beings of light which diligently endeavour to guide the earthly children into right thinking and thus try to achieve this through mental transmission if people do not offer resistance through too worldly an attitude, through worldly desire or conscious defence of spiritual thoughts. As soon as light bearers on earth work for the kingdom of God, the spiritual beings of light can work more successfully by also influencing the light bearers such that they express the right thoughts to their fellow human beings and have a stimulating effect on them through instruction. And thus spiritual work is continuously carried out on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom in order to reduce people’s hardship, in order to mentally guide them onto the right path, for it has become urgently necessary in the last days before the end that people are instructed from above, that a light is kindled for them, that the truth is brought to them so that their souls can seek and also find the kingdom of God …. For the time is approaching its end and the spiritual hardship on earth is so great that all spiritual beings full of light are ready to help on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom ….

Amen

They are words of eternal life which are given to you, for they come from the mouth of God Who wants to reveal Himself to you, His living creations. But God Himself is the life of eternity, therefore His life energy also flows continuously into infinity and takes shape in His creations and as the most personal expression of Himself in the word, He Himself speaks a language to you humans which you can all understand if your heart listens to His voice. And if you hear it in your heart or mentally you will live and never ever taste death in eternity. His word is life itself, because it proceeds from eternal life …. For God is from eternity to eternity the ceaselessly creating spirit, the ceaselessly working creator of heaven and earth …. i.e. spiritual and earthly works of creation, which bear His life within themselves and testify to His never-ending power. And thus His word is also strength and must also work as strength in the one who receives it into his heart …. And he has to escape death, he has to get into a state himself where he can be constantly active, where he can create and enliven because he is permeated by God’s strength. And thus you humans have a source of strength, a fountain of life, from which you can always and constantly draw, and every powerless state must be alien to you if you refresh yourselves with the divine word, and you need not fear any weakness, neither earthly nor spiritually, for God Himself speaks to you through His word, and this signifies an increased supply of strength if you are worthy of this grace, if you desire this grace and listen for His voice which sounds subtly and softly within you. You will live and never ever have to fear death, and life means to possess fullness of strength and to be able to cope with every spiritual and earthly demand placed upon you. In order to live physically you have to take food and drink, but your spiritual life demands the same …. food and drink for the soul …. With this, remember God through His word …. He gives your soul the nourishment which sustains and matures it, which helps it from the weak, powerless state of death to a free, powerful state of life …. He feeds and waters you so that you may live …. Enjoy often the food that is offered to you from heaven, know that it is the most delicious thing that can be offered to you on earth, eat the bread of heaven and drink of the living water, and give thanks to the father in heaven for His love and grace which He bestows on His children on earth …. For He wants you to live for eternity, so that you will not fall into the state of death where His strength cannot touch you because you close your hearts yourselves. You are destined for eternal life and only His word can introduce you to it, therefore accept it, let the word Itself speak to you and be aware of the immense grace which God Himself bestows upon you, because He loves you from the start and wants to win you for eternity ….

Amen

Your knowledge can be increased in all directions if you entrust yourselves unto Me as a student and want to be instructed by Me. In that case you can ask any question and you will receive an answer. However, you will have to listen within or you will be unable to hear the answer. How this listening has to take place is not known to you because you don’t practise it and therefore you don’t hear My voice, although it speaks to you. First you have to withdraw into seclusion, that is, you must detach yourselves from the world such that your thoughts can unimpededly consider the problem you want to solve. In addition, you must make contact with Me through heartfelt prayer so that I Am present with you, so that you can therefore communicate with Me and speak to Me like a child to its father, like a brother to a brother or a friend to a friend without any inhibition. And then you will need to think about the problem that bothers you …. And a light will shine within you, you will have thoughts which seem acceptable to you, which you are inwardly convinced are right and which are indeed right because you have entered into union with Me and thereby entitled Me to direct your thoughts onto the right path.

However, you can also hear My voice directly within you, but this process needs to be practised, for it requires patience and complete seclusion from the environment, i.e., your thoughts must be able to completely detach themselves from everything around you. Then you will be able to hear gently spoken Words, mentally or even audibly, depending on your degree of maturity and receptivity. The audible Word puts an end to every doubt, and once you have reached this state of audibly hearing My voice in you, you will be the happiest people on earth, for then no more question will exist for you which would remain unanswered for you, then you will be able to speak to Me and receive the answer no matter where you are, then My voice will be louder than the voice of the world and will always and forever drown it out. And this audible Word was heard by My disciples on earth, and thus I was able to instruct them personally and answer their every question after My ascension to heaven. I was with them in spirit and will also be with you humans in spirit until the end. And therefore you should endeavour to reach a state of maturity of soul on earth, so that you will be able to perceive My voice audibly in you, and you should practise receiving My Word, you should mentally remain in constant contact with Me and leave the answer to all questions to Me, you should listen within and you will receive an answer, the eternal Teacher Himself will instruct you as He has promised, that He will guide you into all truth ….

Amen

Directed matter is God’s power which has become form, which has become completely opposed to Him by no longer recognizing, as a spiritual created by Him, the purpose which was incumbent upon the spiritual. Hence matter is the spiritual being which is distant from God, which was bound by God’s will, i.e. deprived of its original freedom and strength, because it escaped from God’s strength of its own free will. Consequently matter is certainly to be spoken of as God’s once emanation of power, however without power effect, it is power which remains unused for the duration of the existing form and therefore does not correspond to the divine fundamental order, just as everything which opposes God cannot stand in His eternal order. However, strength once emanating from God cannot remain ineffective for eternities because this would mean a reduction of divine strength and this is eternally impossible, but this strength which has become ineffective is countered by increased effective spiritual strength from God, so that the process of the development of strength, of the activity of unused strength, begins. The spiritual, which has become form, matter, is stimulated into activity by the influence of divine radiation, which, however, no longer corresponds to its own will but to the will of God. The spiritual substance, which is opposed to Him, must submit if it wants to participate in the application of strength from outside, if it wants to be allowed to be active again and thereby, even if after an infinitely long time, reach its original state of unrestricted use of strength in freedom of will. The return to this original state can only happen through the extraordinary development and supply of strength on the part of the spiritual being active in God’s will, otherwise the hardened strength, matter, would eternally remain in the God-opposing will and eternally remain unredeemed. Love for the unredeemed must trigger an increased effect of strength and thereby cause the bound spiritual to give up its resistance against God, only then will the strength formed into matter also be moved into an initial stage of activity.

(13.1.1947) Increased counterforce acting on matter results in the power banished in it reviving, that it seeks to express itself, that therefore a slight change in matter itself can be felt through the life awakening in it. The bound spiritual becomes aware of its actual purpose, it feels an increased urge in itself for activity, and it seeks to satisfy this urge. However, it cannot work freely in any way but the way of expressing strength is prescribed to it, i.e., it has to be active according to divine will, it has to submit to the law of eternal order, it cannot will itself in freedom but carries out every activity in a certain compulsory state, provided that it wants to let the strength in itself take effect. For it can also oppose the power flowing towards it, then the motionless state of matter remains, then it is in a state of death, thus appearing completely without power and life. And yet, at the bottom of it all, it is power emanating from God, only without any effect and thus contradicting the eternal order. Therefore matter in itself can never be something desirable for the mature spiritual, but it must be recognized as something God-contradictory as long as a serving activity is not incumbent upon it. The purpose and meaning of a work of creation, originating from God’s or man’s hand, also gives matter its value, for it proves the will of the banished spiritual to activity. (14.1.1947) Matter is therefore something unredeemed, it is a power station which is to a certain extent out of order and which must first be put into operation again by a strong willpower from outside …. Furthermore, it is a collecting centre of life-force emanating into the universe, which, as increased effective, seeks to unite with the ineffective force in order to bring forth increased achievements, as which all becoming and life in nature as well as useful creations, originating from human hands, are now to be regarded. Matter is hardened strength, whereas the life-force flowing into the universe as emanating directly from God is still in fullest effectiveness and therefore exceedingly lively and life-awakening and can drive all those inactive forces to activity, provided it finds access to them. But this is decided by the will bound in matter …. For the hardening of matter was the result of the God-resisting will of the beings created by Him, thus the softening of matter must take place in accordance with the abandonment of its resistance to God. The beingness in matter would never give up its resistance of its own accord, but through the supply of strength, which carries divine will within itself, a change of will can take place in the beingness bound in hardened matter, because it feels the benefit of effective strength and this is an incentive for activity where its strength can come to fruition. Matter is therefore something that resists God as long as it is not permitted to be of service, but it has given up its resistance as soon as the creations formed out of it perform a serviceable purpose …. And from this it follows that the human being also contributes extraordinarily to the redemption of matter, as soon as things come forth from his creative hand which are intended for the benefit of human beings and animals, as soon as he assigns a serving activity to matter which gives the beingness bound in it the opportunity to free itself for once and to escape from the form enveloping it, as soon as this has fulfilled its serving purpose, thus has become completely useless and awaits a new shaping. The untiring activity of human beings is therefore of the greatest importance, for the human being signifies for unredeemed matter and for the beingness bound in it that increased expression of strength through which the unused strength is stimulated to activity, so that the redemption of the bound can begin.

Amen

Although everything visible testifies to God’s strength and the creator’s will, creation is nevertheless part of His adversary, for its substances are spiritual substances which are permeated by His will and which have therefore positioned themselves against God. And thus all visible creation has to be counted as part of His kingdom, only the human being, although also a material creation, can already escape from His kingdom during his earthly life, even though his body is still earthbound and not yet completely free from impulses of will which reveal His influence. The human being’s soul, however, can already have completely fled his world and dwell in the kingdom which is its actual home, where only God’s strength and will is active and where therefore no earthly creations exist which contain God-opposing will. Yet God’s adversary does not have power over the visible creations on earth, although it is his kingdom …. They are substances related to him of which creation is composed, yet they are completely inaccessible to his influence because God’s will alone governs this creation. And therefore the spiritual substance bound in creation can continue its spiritual ascent unhindered once it has begun, it will in no way be able to be disturbed in its course of development by God’s adversary, for he has not the slightest power over the visible works of creation. But for this reason he constantly seeks to influence the human being’s will, because he is allowed to influence it and now seeks to make extensive use of his power …. His striving now goes towards influencing the human will such that he makes the destruction of creations of all kinds his aim …. And since this is usually the result of an unloving way of life, he will first try to kill love in the human being and awaken in him the inclination towards the world which drives him to obtain pleasures at the expense of his fellow human beings. As soon as a person allows himself to be carried away by unkind actions, he has placed himself under the control of God’s adversary, and his thoughts and actions are contrary to God. And then he will open himself more and more to that influence and be a willing servant to it on earth. The material world is his kingdom, i.e., banished in it is the spiritual, which still carries its will within itself, thus is contrary to God, but which nevertheless strives upwards in the law of compulsion. He now seeks to liberate this spiritual so that it returns to him again and helps to increase his power. And therefore he seeks to incite man to destroy works of creation for reasons of unkindness. For the destruction of matter can also take place in an orderly way and correspond to God’s will if love is the driving force of all human activity and the destruction of matter only has the purpose to let new works come into being which are useful and can therefore be counted as works of love. Then the spiritual in matter is only helped to further ascent according to God’s will. And then also the time has expired, which is set for the spiritual in every form; while the adversary of God seeks to prematurely abort this development and he needs the will of man for this, because he himself has no power over that which is created out of God’s will and His power, which serves for the ascent development of the spiritual which once fell away from Him. But only unkind action towards the neighbour leads to the destruction of matter in his sense, and thus God’s adversary has twofold plans which he seeks to carry out …. to liberate the spiritual and to prevent its ascent development and at the same time also to win over the human being himself, by the latter’s willfulness destroying his entire development beforehand and in the last stage he again becomes in bondage to the one who is the cause of his imperfect state and who seeks to channel all strength out of God to himself in order to increase his power. But the human being himself can, in free will, destroy these plans of his if he, through loving activity, places himself into a state of perfection and thus completely liberates himself from the power of his former seducer and at the same time also contributes to the redemption of the spiritual under him, if he, in serving neighbourly love, reshapes matter into useful things by seeking to protect matter from wanton destruction and always gives it the opportunity to fulfil its purpose, i.e. to serve people, animals or other works of God’s creation according to their form. Nothing is without meaning and purpose, and every work of God’s creation is based on a wise purpose; and therefore the human being should also allow love and wisdom to apply in his activity …. only such creations shall come into being under his hand which benefit the neighbour, and he shall only offer his helping hand for the destruction of other works of creation, originating from God’s or human hands, if the new form guarantees further development for the spiritual substance bound in matter. Wanton destructions of all kinds release an unspeakable number of spiritual entities which, depending on their maturity or God-resistance, have to take revenge or endure torments until they are formed anew and can continue their interrupted development. However, these entities, which have become free against their will, often express themselves in a way which annoys people, although they are not physically noticeable they nevertheless have an effect on the human being’s soul, directing it excessively towards matter and thus triggering urges and desires in it which are extremely detrimental to its ascent development and make the enemy of souls rejoice at his success. For he does not let up in the battle for human souls and approaches them with all temptations …. Yet love sets the human being free, and anyone who lives in love will no longer desire matter either; he will be restlessly active and contribute towards its redemption through his activity, and the tempter will never be victorious over him ….

Amen

During the end time the number of unbelievers will increase and almost threaten to overwhelm the small flock of believers. And, with the apostasy from faith, Satan’s raging will also become progressively more evident, for people will lose their last sense of responsibility towards a righteous Judge because they don’t believe in Him. This is why God will noticeably manifest Himself in order to first strengthen the faith of His Own so that they will not waver in the face of the unbeliever’s ungodliness and their worldly accomplishments. But He also wants to give them the opportunity of taking stock of themselves, and thus he so obviously takes care of His Own that even an atheist would be able to recognise God’s strength and, with even the tiniest effort, regain his lost faith. God will perform many signs and miracles through His instruments on Earth …. Hence His servants on earth will apparently accomplish extraordinary things, yet it is God Who will be expressing Himself through them, Who will manifest Himself and even visibly dwell among His Own as a sign that the end is near, yet He will only be recognised by those who love Him with all their heart and keep His commandments …. who have shaped themselves into love on earth and work exceedingly diligently for His kingdom. They will also possess extraordinary strength, because God Himself will be able to take abode in their hearts and permeate them with His strength of love. The unbelievers will be able to convince themselves of this strength, they will have to admit that a higher Power is at work, providing they are willing to think about the extraordinary phenomena which the last days before the end entail. However, they are far too worldly minded and pay no attention to the former; they despise and pursue the believers and inflict serious difficulties and hardship on them through which only God’s obvious support helps them to persevere. For God’s working among His Own will be so evident that they will firmly unite and offer resistance to all worldly onslaughts; stronger in faith than ever they will completely hand themselves over to God and His guidance, so that they will neither fear earthly adversity nor death and therefore also find it easier to bear the pressures of the last days. Where God has manifested Himself once no target will exist for God’s adversary anymore, for their faith can no longer be shaken. And God will be close to His Own, just as He has promised …. He will provide them with comfort and strength; He will educate them and promise His impending arrival, He will impel them into increased activity of love, for His presence, whether in an earthly or spiritual sense, will fill them with love for Him and their fellow human beings and therefore also with strength …. But the time of the end will necessitate God’s evident working for this, too, will contribute towards the separation of the spirits. It will provide those who are still half-hearted and undecided with the opportunity to decide which camp they want to belong to, since they will still be given a final impetus for this. They will be able to convince themselves of the strength of faith which will master even the greatest earthly adversity and thereby change their attitude towards God by establishing the right relationship with Him. Where God visibly manifests Himself there will be peace and hope despite all the misery, and since the believers’ fate is an extraordinarily difficult one, this will surprise the unbelievers. Anyone who pays attention to His Word, who listens to His servants on earth, will change his will and then every willing soul will be seized and helped by God in His love and mercy and will be saved from eternal darkness …. He will revive their hitherto weak faith and give them strength to persevere until the end, until He will come in the clouds and fetch the flock of His devout followers to Himself ….

Amen

Blessed are those who carry Me in their hearts, who take refuge in Me in all hardships of body and soul and desire My protection and My love. To them I will always be a faithful father …. I repay them a thousandfold for their love for Me, for what I give them makes them blissfully happy for ever …. I come to them Myself in the word …. Again and again I tell you that you have to love Me on earth in order to be loved by Me again and to be richly endowed with My gift of grace which guarantees you eternal life. But if I come to you in the word you must also open your hearts and ears to receive it, and I will constantly encourage you to do so and admonish you to never leave the most delicious gift from My hand unnoticed. It must always remain the most delicious thing you possess on earth, it must be desired by you with hungry hearts if it is not to miss its effect. For I truly offer you nothing shallow, nothing half-finished, and therefore you should not accept it indifferently either but demand it with all the ardour of your heart in the awareness that you will be provided by your heavenly father with the most necessary things you need to attain maturity of soul. Keep to My word and everything earthly will lose its appeal and value for you …. Listen to My voice and the voice of the world will only touch you softly …. Receive strength from Me with the word and you will also be able to meet all earthly demands …. but always strive for Me to be present to you and remain in My word. Make Me the king of your heart, Who takes possession of everything, and be subject to Him in love and reverence …. Then He will rule you in fatherly love, He will declare His will to you, He will reward you royally for your faithfulness and love …. He will speak to you, and His word will make you blessed ….

Amen

Redemptive work on earth is the greatest act of neighbourly love and therefore pleasing to God. This work applies both to a fellow human being’s body as well as to his soul. For the more diligently the soul is worked upon, the more the body’s adversity will abate. Redemptive work, however, is everything that helps the soul to gain freedom; everything that can serve its liberation from Satan’s control and its further development, everything that assists its perfection. Anyone can accomplish this redemptive work and thereby practise extremely richly blessed neighbourly love, especially during the last days before the end when countless souls suffering spiritual adversity should be helped, because their souls will be hopelessly lost without help, given that they no longer have the strength to release themselves. If you humans bear in mind that a totally weak soul is in urgent need of help, then it should be your heartfelt decision to help, providing you feel a spark of love in yourselves, because the weakness of this soul is not a temporary condition but continues forever until it receives external help. Although in its human stage the soul is capable of releasing itself if it subordinates itself to God’s will and keeps His commandments. Yet since it failed to do so it is devoid of all strength and can only be helped by fellow human beings, because its wrongly inclined will has made it impossible for God’s direct action. Hence love is necessary in order to take part in the redemptive work on earth, and every person who practises this neighbourly love, will be blessed by God as this love is truly unselfish. Redemptive work can only be accomplished by those who deny themselves, who have overcome their inclination towards the world and who are therefore actually already labourers in the vineyard of the Lord, who offered to carry out work which does not result in earthly achievements but solely concerns a fellow human being’s spiritual wellbeing. And this kind of neighbourly love must be successful, it will not remain ineffective, the work of helping a neighbour’s soul will not be done in vain providing his will is not entirely opposed to God and thus also opposes his fellow human beings’ efforts …. In that case his soul will be lost for eternity, for its spiritual adversity is too great to be remedied on earth during the short time which is still available for the redemption of people’s souls. Then the soul’s fate will be a renewed banishment, a process through the new creations on earth, which will last an infinitely long time again ….

Amen

Everyone receives spiritual gifts according to his worthiness and desire, and the understanding for them will also be accordingly. The human being may well rise into spiritual spheres at times but he can still be far more materially minded than others, and the receipt of spiritual good can certainly take place at times but it will not become spiritual property because it does not penetrate the heart deeply enough. The world with its demands pushes itself forward and lets the spiritual fade away. Thus people can certainly temporarily gain possession of spiritual gifts through indirect reception but they will not be able to be very effective because they do not put the desire for them before everything else. Likewise, the desire can also be greater, but the way of life does not always correspond to God’s will. In that case spiritual gifts can only be offered to him to a limited extent, yet always to the extent that strength is supplied to him through it and he can therefore live in accordance with divine will if he seriously strives for it. The human being can only be given according to his worthiness, otherwise his ascent development would be influenced, i.e. his will would be compelled to live a life pleasing to God and thus also spiritual progress. Spiritual gifts, however, as God’s emanation of strength, are a sure means of ascent as soon as they are received with desire. The human being himself therefore increases or decreases the reception of strength through his will, and therefore he must always work on himself if he wants to ascend. Yet God takes the smallest impulse of will into account, He draws it with His love as long as the human being does not resist, as long as he does not cling too tightly to the world and thus renders God’s gift of grace ineffective. For God does not force the human being’s will, because perfection is only possible in free will ….

Amen

The spiritual substance which resisted Me of its own free will, which rejected My love and made no effort to redeem itself, will have to languish in the night of death. It does not strive for life but for spiritual death, and thus it sank into a state of profound darkness, night descended upon the spiritual being, and this will hold it captive until My love and grace turns a small glimmer of light towards it again in order to awaken the spiritual being’s desire for light. The night of death will be agonizing because the spiritual being has already been in the light insofar as it was able to receive instructions in the human stage, that it was able to think and judge. However, it takes nothing of the knowledge over into the night, but the darkness torments the beingness immensely. But only through a state of torment can it be brought to a change of its will, otherwise the being would remain eternally in the unredeemed state and would never strive upwards. It is a sleep of death which meant no rest whatsoever for the spiritual being but only incessant agony, impenetrable darkness and complete lack of strength, and the being cannot escape this state because it cannot muster the will to do so. It is totally weakened, and as long as help is not brought to the spiritual being through the supply of strength its state is hopeless …. it is darkest night, it is a sleep of death of that which previously lived in strength and partial realization …. Yet within a period of time determined by the being itself it will revive again, it will be stimulated into activity by the influx of light and strength, it will exchange the dark night for a slight twilight, for My love and mercy will not let anything suffer forever but seeks to bring help in its adversity to the deeply fallen and darkly dwelling being. And thus the coming night will one day give way to a morning, a time will come when matter will release the bound spiritual substance and this can start its ascent again. Then the darkest night will be broken, then a tiny ray of light will touch the spiritual substance and stimulate it into activity, then it will awaken from its sleep of death and be given back to life, even though it is not yet conscious of it, because the state of realization is only reached in the last stage, because only then will the being learn to grasp and understand what its actual purpose is. Only then will day dawn in it, and it can shape this day itself into a light-filled, brightly radiating one, but it can also only pass by the spiritual embodied as a human being in twilight, impenetrable to the sun of the spirit, depending on its will. But once the day has dawned, there is also the possibility that the sun of the spirit will shine through it, that the spiritual will find complete redemption, that it can enter the kingdom of light and remain full of light for eternity ….

Amen

The less resistance the soul opposes the spirit within itself the more obviously it can express itself and the more audible its voice is to the human being, for then the soul also determines the bodily senses and organs to its functions, which then correspond to the spirit’s influence. Thus the human being’s thinking and willing must first relate to the inner life so that the spirit can become effective in the human being. And thus a person can never be filled by God’s spirit if his thoughts and intentions are predominantly directed towards the preservation and well-being of the body. For then the soul would neither be able to hear the voice of the spirit within itself nor would it be able to impart spiritual good to the intellect’s organs, since the latter would likewise be unable to receive it. And thus the serious will to be instructed by the spirit in itself is the first prerequisite for it to express itself, for the will starts from the soul and can apply to the spirit or the body. And the will determines the thoughts which, however, then start from the spirit in the human being as soon as the working has been made possible for it. But then the human being can completely leave himself to its influence, he will always think and act correctly if he fulfils the conditions which allow the working of the spirit. First of all, therefore, the human being’s thinking and willing must be directed towards his inner life, he must want to think about the soul and not about the body …. Furthermore, he must be aware of the fact that he has to fulfil a task on earth, he must be aware that he must make the divine commandment of love the guiding principle of his way of life in order to fulfil God’s will; furthermore, he must long for purest truth and inwardly seek it …. He must listen inwardly to what God, as the giver of truth, conveys to him through His spirit. He has to appeal for His loving instruction, otherwise God’s most precious gift will be withheld from him because he does not appreciate it accordingly. And thus the soul must constantly work on itself, i.e. completely adapt its thinking, feeling and wanting to God’s will and thus shape itself into the receptacle of the divine spirit, which can then work in it without restriction. The process itself is a transmission of strength from the spiritual kingdom, i.e. God Himself directs His emanation into the heart of the human being, who therefore now harbours divine within himself, which must appear in the form of knowledge, of deepest wisdom, thus of light-fullest realization. The state of knowledge is already an alignment with the eternal deity, Who in Himself is pure light and power. People in whom the divine spirit can work will always be surrounded by light, yet only recognizable to those who are spiritually able to see, whereas the physical eye perceives nothing special, only from the external effects, from the increased knowledge, can the person conclude to divine spiritual working. But if a person is surrounded by light then he is also a bearer of light himself, he has become, as it were, a station of strength in contact with the spiritual world, which can then emit light again and thus pass on the divine emanation to where it will be received without resistance …. Every transmission of power and light requires the willingness of the receiver. The least resistance, however, prevents it, but resistance is counteracted by thinking and wanting …. by the soul turning away from the spirit in it and turning towards the body, i.e., entering into its wishes and desires. Then the soul unites itself with the body instead of establishing the union with the spirit within itself according to its task, which then takes care of a complete union with the eternal father-spirit. Thus it is up to the soul in which direction it turns; it always finds support on the part of the spirit but never on the part of the body. The latter constantly demands, while the latter gives and demands as the only service in return the giving up of resistance in order to be able to work unhindered, i.e., to bring its influence on the soul to full and complete effect …. If the soul, with the help of the spirit, also succeeds in making the body inclined to its wishes, the spiritualization of the body is also guaranteed, i.e., its material substances likewise enter the state which allows light to pass through, all resistance is given up, and the result is that the soul hears the spirit’s voice within itself in all clarity and can also audibly convey it to the bodily ear, that the human being thus hears the divine voice resounding within himself and stands in brightest light, i.e., filled with profoundest knowledge, i.e. he is filled with the deepest knowledge, because God’s strength of love flows through him in all fullness, because the unification of the spirit in the human being with the father-spirit has taken place from eternity and the soul has matured and can enter the spiritual kingdom as a being of light to unimagined bliss ….

Amen

You know that you cannot expect a long life on earth anymore and that every day is a grace enabling you to mature fully if you make correct use of the time. You know this from My Word but your faith is not yet profound enough to be spurred into utmost striving, you doubt the truth of My Word as far as it relates to the approaching end. Nevertheless, you should eagerly work at improving yourselves, for the end is at hand …. Time and again I approach you with this admonition and warn you of half-hearted thoughtless living; time and again I call to you: Pay attention to My Word, engross yourselves in it and live accordingly.

You won’t know when your last hour has come, you don’t know how much time you have left until the end, hence you should live as if every day is your last. I always send you My obedient spirits to convey illuminating thoughts to you, to direct your mind to the spiritual kingdom, I send you My messengers on earth to inform you of the approaching end, to draw your attention to the signs of the last days and to awaken firm faith in you by imparting My Word to you which was transmitted directly to earth. And thus I constantly try to explain to you the gravity of the situation in order to enable you a blissful end, yet none of you take My Words seriously enough, your faith is still too weak to live appropriately even though your will is turned to My direction. And therefore I admonish you time after time: …. Engross yourselves in My Word, let the thought of a near end come alive in you, prepare yourselves for it, and place less importance on earthly things in view of the end, in view of the immense spiritual hardship which will even increase the closer it is to the end.

Use all available strength in order to grow spiritually, and fully entrust the care of your body to Me. Make use of the short time until the end, be constantly active with love, always draw strength from My Word, admonish and teach your fellow human beings to do the same and thus help each other to reach the goal on earth which I had given you, help each other to become perfect, for there is only little time left until the end ….

Amen

Revelation 8, 6-12

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

(The Holy Bible, King James Version)

Don’t burden yourselves with misguided teachings of faith if the truth is offered to you from the heavens, from the kingdom of light, where there is no error and no lies. And you will recognize that you are in contact with the kingdom of light by the fact that only words of love are imparted to you which admonish you to strive for perfection, that God, as the eternal love, is made the aim of all striving, that enlightening knowledge is imparted to you and that you are thus instructed in such a way that God’s reign and activity is comprehensible to you and you also receive complete clarity about your purpose of existence. And this knowledge will also appear acceptable to you as soon as you seriously examine it with the will and desire for pure truth, whereas erroneous spiritual knowledge will not give you a completely satisfactory explanation and you will either have to believe blindly or fall into constant doubt due to inadequate knowledge if you take it seriously and want to fathom the truth. What God Himself offers you from above is understandable and therefore also to be accepted without doubt, and it will only contribute towards increasing your knowledge, erroneous mental information, however, is far more of a burden, for it can crush the human being if he seriously thinks about it and is not truthfully enlightened. This is why blind faith is also demanded from the human side, because correct enlightenment cannot be offered, for the teachers themselves still lack knowledge and thus cannot instruct their fellow human beings correctly and introduce them to the truth. Anyone who is worthy of the truth from the kingdom of light will also be able to shed light on all questions, because pure truth originates from God and therefore also has to brightly illuminate the human being, who is therefore in contact with Him through the impartation of truth, for God Himself is light and His nearness means being permeated by light, thus right thinking and being able to recognize the spiritual knowledge offered by Himself. And thus the knowledge received by people from above also guarantees utmost truth, and therefore anything which does not correspond to the spiritual knowledge coming from above can be given away as error without hesitation, for only truth emanates from God, and the divine origin of knowledge which was not acquired scholastically or through human instruction is recognizable at all times ….

Amen

The eternal love mercifully inclines towards your creations which languish in deepest darkness and are heading towards ruin. And therefore it puts an end to the spiritual’s stage of development in order to prevent a further decline and to create new opportunities for it to ascend. The greater the spiritual adversity the more urgent God’s help has become, and any other help than complete dissolution is unsuccessful in the face of the spiritual’s complete resistance to God. And yet, the dissolution, the destruction of the great work of creation on earth, is an act of God’s greatest mercy and love and, at the same time, a just compensation for people’s evil actions, who leave the last opportunity to mature completely unused and misuse their will for actions of most blatant unkindness. The spiritual decline must be ended, a new phase of development must begin so that that which is still bound in solid matter can begin its ascent. For everything spiritual is close to God’s heart, everything once came forth from Him and shall return to Him again, and His infinite love always endeavours to help it return to Himself. For the separation from Him cannot last forever and what once fell away from Him will not find its way back to God by itself. Eternities can indeed pass, and these eternities consist of more or less long periods of development which always begin with spiritual highs and end with spiritual lows, because the latter is the reason for the end of such a period and there is always a separation of the God-dedicated and the apostate spiritual at the end, so that the new period always begins with people who belong to God, thus are already highly developed spiritually. But people’s free will causes them not to remain in this God-connected state and therefore allow ever greater distance to occur between themselves and God, and this also signifies descending development which takes on such proportions that God Himself puts an end to it when the spiritual low is reached, which necessitates the dissolution of matter as the bearer of the spiritual. And therefore the beginning of a redemption epoch will always signify a paradisiacal state, while the end is a time of most bitter adversity, hardship and spiritual darkness. And God’s merciful love reigns over everything …. Only the enlightened human being can understand the context, and it has also become his task to instruct his fellow human beings and to make the time of adversity understandable to them, so that they too shall only recognize God’s love and turn towards it. For God wants to be recognized in His love, in His power and in His wisdom, because only the recognition of His essence awakens people’s love for Him and spurs them on to strive towards Him. But in the end time it is difficult to muster understanding for spiritual instructions, and therefore God often approaches the individual person in a different way, in the form of great physical hardship which is intended to cause him to turn to Him of his own free will so that God can seize him and draw him to Himself. But where the physical adversity cannot achieve this, all help is excluded and the process of dissolution has to begin as soon as humanity is so distant from God that it is no longer able to recognize Him. For His merciful love will not let what once took its origin from Him approach complete ruin …. And thus He creates new possibilities for upward development …. He lets a new earth arise and enlivens it with creations of the most glorious kind …. He creates a paradise on earth for His own, and He gives the still immature spiritual new forms to also help it to the former redemption ….

Amen

And if the bulwark of faith is shaken the time of the end has come and the last judgment can be expected on every day. The battle of faith will be waged in such a form that you humans will be able to unmistakably recognize which hour has struck, for it is a visible action against everything that is for Me and testifies for Me. It will be a battle which has nothing else as its aim than to undermine the knowledge of Me as the eternal creative power, as the creator and sustainer of all things, and to deprive people of all faith in a supremely perfect being, in a power which is unsurpassable in its wisdom and strength …. And this last battle is of utmost importance, for it is the signal to overthrow My adversary, to bind him for a long time. For he now exceeds the limits I have set for him, he seeks to completely eliminate Me and to ascend to the throne in order to thereby make the redemption of the still unfree spirits impossible, which can only take place if the human being strives towards Me of his own free will. But for this he absolutely needs to know of My existence, for if he is to choose his lord he has to get to know Him and have the opportunity to do so. My adversary, however, tries to deprive people of this opportunity by raging in the world such that he mentally influences people to reject Me, i.e. to declare Me as non-existent and thus enormously widen the gulf which already exists between the human being and Me. But My adversary is not entitled to this right and therefore I will deprive him of his power and strength for a long time by binding him and with him the spiritual beings on earth which had fallen prey to his influence and separated from Me of their own free will. But first I will let him rage so that his intention will be obvious to everyone, so that they themselves shall take a stand for Me or for My adversary if they are confronted with the final decision. And this test of faith will be hard but inevitable …. Only a few will pass it, and only those who have been instructed in the pure truth and have recognized Me as a loving father, as a wise creator and powerful controller of the universe …. These will not waver but stand firm against every demand of the world to confess or reject Me. Yet it will also be difficult for them, for satan works with all conceivable means to push My own away from Me. They will try to achieve a separation from Me with cunning and force, and My adversary will find support from all sides, for people no longer want to be subject to a higher power themselves, they believe that they can free themselves from it if they reject it and don’t consider that they will have to answer to this power on the day of judgment …. But anyone who has penetrated the truth, who has been instructed by his spirit, will also be able to follow the battle of faith and through the agreement of it with My predictions recognize the truth of My word, and he will stand firm, for he fights with Me in full awareness of My leadership, My protection and My victory over satan. Nevertheless, he will also have to fight himself with the sword of the mouth, he will have to defend himself against all attacks of the enemy, but the shield of faith will cover him and his soul will emerge unscathed from the final battle. But anyone who does not stand in the full truth will not stand but all too easily change to the enemy’s camp, he will waver in his faith because he lacks the knowledge which gives him an explanation for everything which, as seemingly not of divine origin, is cause for doubt or unbelief. He who knows the pure truth also recognizes the connection of all events with the development of all creatures, but the ignorant person lacks knowledge, conviction and therefore also faith. And therefore the constant attention of the servants on earth working on My behalf during the last days shall be to impart the right knowledge to people about the meaning and purpose of creation and the human being’s task on earth, they shall make the correlations clear to them and always work towards making My will known to them, for then they will mature in realization and their faith will become strong and unshakeable, and they will also emerge victorious from the last battle of faith on the day of judgment ….

Amen

The greater a person’s desire for truth the more deeply he will penetrate it. To God, as the Giver of truth, nothing is hidden, and therefore He also knows and answers every question moving a person’s heart; and thus you humans can easily increase your knowledge if only you let God, the Eternal Truth, speak to you, that is, if you attentively listen to your inner voice, which will always instruct you correctly. You have to look for the answer within yourselves, you should not expect it to come from outside, then you will be instructed directly, and you can be certain that it will be utter truth. Hence you should take notice of what He says to you:

Do you want to serve Me or the world …. do you want to gain My favour or do you want to attain other people’s admiration? Your will alone determines your actions and innermost thoughts, and therefore a spiritual rebirth will only ever be possible when you are moved by the utmost desire to be in contact with Me, when you look for Me and completely withdraw from the world in order to unite with Me.

But how can you detach yourselves from the world since, after all, you have to live in it and see yourselves faced by earthly obligations which you should not neglect? How can you establish the heartfelt relationship with Me while you constantly live amongst your fellow human beings and are thus time and again required by them?

Only through turning inwards, through a withdrawal into seclusion which, however, can take place everywhere and at any time depending on your will, and which will proceed more sincerely and unhindered the less external impressions a person receives. A most intimate contact with Me requires detachment from all matter, for I Myself, as pure eternal Spirit, exist outside of matter, even though matter itself is My emanated solidified strength, yet it is always situated at a certain distance from Me.

Anyone who wants to look for and find Me first has to turn his will away from matter, but since he nevertheless still lives within matter, since he has a physical body, he has to withdraw into his innermost being …. Then he will find Me, and the complete detachment from matter will take place when the physical eye is shielded from every external impression, when it is closed and no longer receives physical images, for they are reflected in a person’s soul and disturb its silent contemplation and union with its spirit. Spirit and matter are opposite concepts and will always remain in opposition to each other, and since I Myself as a pure Spirit want to be active within you, you first will have to achieve this inner separation from matter and then you will come closer to Me, but you will never be able to establish a close contact with Me as long as your eyes and senses are held captive by external impressions ….

I want that you only desire My presence, that you have no space for anything else in your hearts, and that you muster the will to relinquish all earthly things for My sake and the sake of My presence, that you mentally detach yourselves from everything opposing Me …. And all matter is spirit in opposition to Me …. I also want human customs to be avoided where possible, for they distract from an inner composure if they are not thoughtlessly observed, or they will be automatically performed and are then equally worthless. Anyone who sincerely looks for Me first has to sever his contact with the world, and everything that is not spiritual belongs to the world, that is related to earthly matter, that is taken in by the human being’s physical senses, thus everything that keeps the soul captive, that prevents it from uniting with the spirit within itself. Only when this detachment is accomplished it is able to talk to Me as it is My will, so that I Myself can work in the human being’s heart with My love and grace.

And I truly favour the silent, profound worship; it can never be replaced by external customs and actions which automatically affect the human being’s thoughts, which have to distract him from what is essential, from the purely spiritual contact with Me. I look into every person’s heart and truly don’t require any external evidence of your love for Me, and depending how you approach Me you will be considered by My love and grace, and you yourselves determine the extent. Although you will not act wrongly by performing external ceremonies, by observing human customs, but you harm yourselves by reducing the flow of My love and grace yourselves as long as any other thought but Myself still finds room in your heart. You should approach Me in spirit and in truth, then My eyes will look upon you favourably …. and then you will feel the blessing of such intimate contact in yourselves, then you will feel My presence and be happy …. And yet you will remain profoundly humble in your happiness, because you will be aware of the extraordinary grace that is bestowed upon you by the fact that I take abode in your hearts, and humility will increase the amount of grace ….

Amen

Whatever the human being strives for he shall receive, for his will alone determines his fate in eternity. If you strive for the kingdom of God you will also acquire it and become joint ruler of all worlds …. yet if you strive for the world, for fulfilment of all earthly wishes and longings, then the world, that is, worldly commodities, will not leave you even though you will have entered the beyond, for your wishes also create your soul’s environment. The possession of these goods, however, will not make you happy, for soon you will realise that they are unreal, thus your cravings can no longer be satisfied yet you continue to crave, and this longing will torment you, consequently, you already ought to endeavour on earth to let go of such cravings, you ought to desire spiritual possessions if you want to be blessed one day.

Whatever you strive for will be your share …. And thus every human being creates his own fate and should therefore be conscious of his great responsibility, for he is facing eternities ahead of him, eternities which he can either spend in beatitude or experience in wretchedness. For eternities can pass by until he has overcome earthly matter, in view of the fact that the temptations in the spiritual realm are far worse since he offers them little resistance, whereas he can easily detach himself on earth if he seriously wants to do so.

A soul which has risen above matter and enters the kingdom of the beyond in a free state is indescribably happy, since the pleasures awaiting it are far more magnificent than people on earth can possibly imagine. This soul, too, will desire, yet it will find constant fulfilment, for it desires spiritual possessions, it is God’s emanation of love which beatifies it without end, for which it constantly yearns and which it will constantly receive. And this emanation of love spiritualises its whole being, it will bring itself ever more into line with the eternal love and will constantly feel attracted by it, it will incessantly desire the presence of God in order to be united with Him for all eternity and thus to be indescribably blessed. People on earth demand earthly joys, physical pleasures and only ever strive for material possessions …. And all that will come to an end with the death of the body …. They will be unable to take anything along into the spiritual kingdom if they have failed to gather spiritual possessions which, however, can only be gained by neglecting earthly wishes. If they are still able to detach themselves from the world before their physical death, if they still recognise its worthlessness before and ponder thoughts of the hereafter they can be considered blessed, for then their path of ascent in the spiritual kingdom will no longer be closed to them, even though inexpressibly difficult to climb, but then they will no longer strive for earthly possessions and no longer have to fear the awful temptations which weaken the soul and render it incapable of resistance. Then they will soon find support from the beings of light which will help them by handing out spiritual possessions, if only within certain limits, until the soul makes its own effort to increase them, until it has recognised its task in the spiritual kingdom and strives to comply with it. What it wants it will receive …. Only its will is decisive, and in order for the will to make the right decision God constantly instructs people of His will, yet they won’t listen to Him, they will continue to desire the world and thereby seriously endanger their souls.

Therefore God has mercy on them, and He clearly shows to them the value of earthly matter by allowing people to lose it, by time after time taking away what they own and what is dear to their heart without realising that they harbour the wrong kind of love within them …. He takes away what they don’t want to give voluntarily, in order to show them on earth already that it can be overcome, in order to help them become free from their longing for it, to content themselves with less and to turn their love to spiritual possessions which are incomparably more valuable and everlasting.

Every earthly loss affecting the human being is God’s help; it is a gentle admonition to turn away from it and an indication of the fleeting nature of worldly things …. And anyone looking around with open eyes will be able to recognise God’s activity everywhere, Who wants to help people become spiritually minded, so that they will still learn to despise matter before the death of their body and only strive for spiritual wealth …. so that they will create for themselves a blissful fate in the afterlife …. so that they will become blessed because it is their will ….

Amen

To be released from the solid form, from hard matter, is a considerable progress in the spiritual development of the beingness, and it means a new stage under easier conditions than before. For now the beingness enters the stage where it can be so active that this is already obvious to the human eye, even though different degrees of development still require different activity; however the state of inactivity is overcome and the being can serve according to its purpose. And now it also covers the path through the most diverse creations in ever shorter periods of time, it does not need a certain form for so long and can unite with other beingness at every change to carry out an ever more obvious activity in the following form. And thus also the constant becoming and passing away of natural creations finds its explanation …. And the imminent total dissolution of all creation on earth results in the fact that for the time being all bound spiritual substances will be released, that they will enter a state where they are deprived of every possibility to be of service, and that they will experience this state as agony because they are not yet perfect, thus they possess strength and can use it according to their will. It is still deprived of its strength and now also feels deprived of the vitality which made a small activity possible for it. And this spiritual therefore rages in an inconceivable way, which expresses itself in tremendous storms until it is banished again in new form through God’s will. The process of re-creation will therefore be accomplished in the shortest possible time so that the released spiritual substance can continue its interrupted course of development again in accordance with its purpose, and no human eye will be able to follow this process, which therefore does not need a long time but only requires a moment through God’s might and power and will and a completely new creation will arise which will testify to His power and glory to all generations which will now inhabit the new earth ….

Amen

The fact that earthly life was given to you is a grace for which you must constantly be grateful to Me, even if suffering oppresses you and you have no earthly joys to show for it. It is only a phase of short duration in which you can reach the degree of perfection if you live correctly on earth. But in order to use a gift of grace correctly you have to be properly instructed by the giver as to how He wants this gift of grace to be utilized, otherwise no advantage would accrue to you and you could not be held responsible either. Hence the knowledge about it must have been made accessible to you, and therefore I must speak to you directly or through My servants on earth. And you must listen to Me or pay attention to the words of My servants because the knowledge of My will cannot be conveyed to you otherwise. For even the written word originated from Me and will only become comprehensible to you if you acknowledge Me and want to be taught by Me. And where you receive My word from Me or from My servants on earth I Myself am present in spirit and I speak through the mouth of a human being, thus the place must also be blessed where you let Me speak to you, where you listen to My servants to whom I put My word into their mouths, as soon as a human heart desires to take notice of My will, otherwise you will not be able to make full use of the grace of earthly life. But now My will also has to be followed and My word has to be lived out, by which the human being puts himself into the state of hearing My voice directly within himself. Then he can mentally question Me everywhere and at any time and he will receive an answer, for his own heart has become the place where I am present and instruct him. And since My direct word guarantees purest truth and profoundest knowledge he will truly not need to receive the knowledge of My will elsewhere, then his heart itself will have become a temple where I dwell and can distribute spiritual gifts. And as soon as the human being has made himself into a temple of God he needs no other places to receive My word, then he calls Me to himself through a heartfelt thought and I am present wherever he dwells. Therefore, all of you let your heart become God’s temple, let Me Myself enter you and open your heart to Me if I knock and desire entrance. Once you have heard My word through My servants on earth, which makes My will known to you, and you endeavour to live according to My will, you make an effort to open your heart to Me and prepare yourselves as a house of God …. and if you are of good will I will help you, for with My love and grace I am constantly with you, My living creations, to whom I gave life in order to lead them to perfection ….

Amen

In the spiritual world, too, the battle of light with darkness rages to an increased degree before the end of this earth, for satan still seeks to win over the souls there who are no longer able to resist him. He seeks to kindle earthly desires in them and thereby cause them torment in order to determine them to ever greater rebellion against God and thus increase their distance from Him. But the beings of light are also at work and, in their great love for the unredeemed, support them so that they are not defenceless against the enemy’s attacks. And again and again love fights against hatred, also in the spiritual kingdom, it comes to the aid of the fallen and often stands protectively between the powerless souls and their attacker. And this battle will also come to an end on the day of judgment, in the spiritual kingdom a time of peace will also replace the time of battle before, for there too a separation of spirits will take place in that that which is completely distant from God will also be banished anew for the purpose of the former redemption. This is an extraordinary grace, that the spiritual that is opposed to God is once again given the opportunity to develop upwards, even if it is subject to the law of compulsion. It is a grace insofar as that the will of the fallen spiritual substance is bound again so that it can no longer descend further from God, so that satan’s power over this spiritual substance is also taken away, even though it is in bondage to him. God Himself takes the spiritual substance into His school again, which inevitably earns it an increased degree of maturity again, even if it takes an exceedingly long time, which finally also secures its free will. Thus, after the last judgment on this earth a time of peace and tranquillity will occur where the beings of light will be active on earth as well as in the beyond alone, where they can spread light because they will not encounter resistance …. where even in the spiritual kingdom the imperfect is willing to accept their teachings, where people on earth will also have constant contact with the inhabitants of the spiritual kingdom and direct instruction and spiritual gifts are nothing extraordinary, because the high degree of maturity of their souls also allow for an extraordinary working of the spiritual beings without coercion being exerted on those souls as a result. For satan has lost his power for a long time, he can no longer harass people on earth who have proven their affiliation to God in the last battle on the old earth. And also the spiritual in the beyond is withdrawn from his power, for what was in bondage to him is banished in the new creation, and the still weak but willing souls have been wrested from his power through the spiritual full of light. And now there is only an ascent development in the spiritual kingdom, no more relapse, and that is as long as people on earth are in intimate connection with God and therefore also enter the kingdom of light when they leave earth. Only when the intimacy of this connection diminishes, when people start to place matter next to God again, will they thereby loosen satan’s fetters, they will give him freedom themselves and thus hand themselves over to his control again …. Then the battle between light and darkness will also begin again in the spiritual kingdom, for then his influence will also be greater again on the souls of those who have departed from earth, whom he will try to win over for himself again with cunning and force. Light and darkness will constantly be in battle, but the light will always win the victory in the end …. And woe to the spiritual which has sunk so far into the depth, into darkness, that it has to expect a new banishment in solid matter. Its ascent development is an endless chain of suffering and torment and yet it is an ascent, because in this phase of development the prince of darkness no longer has any influence on the spiritual being, because it is only subject to the divine law of compulsion and God’s will will always and forever promote the spiritual being’s ascent development, until in the last stage the being can decide for itself whether it chooses God or His adversary as its lord …. And only when all beings acknowledge God as their sole lord will the battle of light against darkness come to an end and there will be a state of eternal peace ….

Amen
