There are only very few faithful christians at the present time, and it is therefore much more commendable if these few persevere and remain faithful to God because their fellow human beings make it extremely difficult for them to believe in God and especially in Jesus Christ as saviour of the world. For they try to pull everything down and portray it as unreal, they try to shake the faith to its foundations, they try to prove their erroneous thinking to the believers intellectually, and anyone who does not stand firm will fall down …. And therefore the knowledge of the pure truth is absolutely necessary so that this truth can be opposed to the unbelievers’ endeavour and it can be proven to them just as clearly that they are in error. Only he who is in possession of the pure truth from God can offer resistance, only he is able to instruct the wrong-thinker and to impart strength to the still weak believer so that he too will remain faithful to God. Many people will still call themselves christians out of an old tradition and yet they will no longer be christians, for in order to be a christian one must also lead a life of love …. Only then will Jesus Christ and the significance of His act of salvation be recognized and fully believed. But as long as people lack love the slightest impulse is enough to cause them to abandon all faith, and thus only a small number of representatives of true christianity will still live on earth and therefore lead an extremely difficult life, because even these few shall still follow the thinking of those and everything will be done on the part of the world to eradicate christianity. But then it will become apparent what strength lies in love and in deep, undoubted faith …. and what strength the believers have in the last time before the end …. And therefore teaching people the pure truth cannot be taken seriously enough, therefore the truth from above will be offered to them directly so that the willing person can also recognize and accept it as truth. And therefore diligent work is required for God and His kingdom, for there is not much time left until the end, yet the number of the ignorant is enormous and shall still be reduced by the number of those who are indeed weak but of good will, so that they will not fall prey to the final onslaught but faithfully persevere and become blissfully happy ….

Amen

Do not forget those who have crossed over into the beyond in distress of soul. For they need your help. They are too weak to be able to help themselves and are eternally grateful to you if you assist them and give them strength through your prayer. Love must be the reason for this prayer, love for the weak, the unredeemed, which you do not want to let suffer, for which you want to reduce suffering as far as it is within your power. If you could take a look into the kingdom of the unredeemed souls on earth, deep compassion would fill your heart and your will to help would be stimulated if only a spark of love glows within you. For their fate is an unspeakably sad one which, even if self-inflicted, impels every compassionate soul to help. In frightening darkness they dwell, according to the degree of their imperfection, and their surroundings, if they are dimly able to recognize them, are barren and unfriendly, and yet they themselves are too weak to leave the place where they dwell and create a better state for themselves, and therefore their hardship is excessive because everything causes them agony. And you can reduce their torment by taking care of the poor souls in prayer, by trying to imagine their great hardship with compassion and remembering them in heartfelt prayer …. by further reciting the gospel to them in spirit, i.e. by trying to make the blessing of love clear to them and presenting love as the only means of solution. As soon as you succeed in igniting the spark of love in a poor soul it will be saved for eternity, for then it will be able to receive strength directly from the kingdom of light, the inhabitants of which are likewise busy working on those souls but can only take action when a small desire for light and a spark of love can be recognized in the soul and when love is expressed in such a way that it wants to help the suffering souls. Then strength will be supplied to it in increased measure and now the ascent in the spiritual kingdom will begin. But never ever should you leave the souls to their fate, for only love redeems, and only a loving attitude towards them can provide them with relief from their suffering. And therefore your prayer must come from the heart, it must not just be a lip prayer, but love for the weak, helpless must impel you to sincerely appeal to God for mercy and help for these souls, you yourselves must be driven by the feeling to ease their fate and you must often turn your thoughts towards them, who already feel this as a relief and sense every loving prayer as a grant of strength. Do not forget these souls, for they need you and will be eternally grateful to you if you have helped them from the depths to the heights, from the night of their surroundings into the light ….

Amen

Entirely worldly orientated thinking will hardly adapt to the changing situations of life and will only continue to attend to its physical improvement, and this will stop the human being from working at improving his soul. Anyone who allows matter to become his master will never be able to overcome it, and anyone who does not use the loss of material possessions as an aid in overcoming them will strive with increased eagerness to increase them again, and if he is to be helped again it can only happen through renewed loss, so that he will learn to recognise the fleeting nature of matter and derive psychological benefit from it. However, all faith will also fall prey to increased earthly striving, and for this reason alone different camps will develop which are externally recognisable. Faithful people accept their difficult earthly situation as a Godsend and are therefore not interested in increasing their earthly goods, whereas a person striving for possessions has lost faith in a Power that wants to reveal Itself through events which cause him material loss. His desire for the world dominates and thus he does not recognise God nor arrange his life in accordance with His will.

And thus a very busy time of activity will commence when people will want to improve their situation which has become extraordinarily difficult due to God’s will. And then a person’s way of thinking will become evident …. the loving person will help his fellow human being by making his life bearable, yet the heartless person will only want to rearrange his own life, he will do anything to provide himself with a good living standard again and not shy away from accomplishing it at his neighbour’s expense. And it will soon become clearly apparent with whose support he works, who provides him with the energy for earthly activity and has taken possession of his soul in return. The believer, however, will also find help in every adversity, it just will not be externally visible, but God’s strength will inundate him, he will also master every situation in life and always remain in contact with God, his faith will deepen, his love for matter diminish, and this means far greater progress than the increased earthly wealth of the former. For anyone who sells his soul for the sake of earthly life only takes the short time on earth into consideration, which can be over for him at any time. And he fails to think of eternity which will be incredibly painful for him because he will be bound by matter in the same way as on earth. And therefore the human being should try to detach himself from all desire for it, he should accept the difficult time in submission to God’s will and join God even more closely the more helpless he is in an earthly respect …. For God will help him and reveal Himself to him through often miraculous help …. And the time of affliction will only be short for him, but infinitely long will be his life in the spiritual kingdom where he, liberated from all matter, will be indescribably happy because he had already become a conqueror of matter on earth ….

Amen

Everything you see only has eternal value if you look at it with the spiritual eye, if you are able to see the spiritual life in it, which visible matter keeps hidden from the physical eye. This spiritual life is imperishable but must first work its way through matter in order to be able to create and work without end in the stage of freedom. As long as it is still enveloped by matter it is indeed not completely inactive but this activity is minimal and time-dependent, it constantly changes and is not appropriate to the strength the spiritual originally had at its disposal, and therefore it is an imperfect state for the spiritual as long as its activity is subject to restriction, whereas the perfect spiritual can create without restriction and is exceedingly blissful in its awareness of strength. And then it is also no longer subject to the law of time but remains diligently active in a way inconceivable to man because the fullness of strength of a being of light is inconceivable and unimaginable to him. And that is why the spiritual is also unhappy as long as it is enclosed by matter, which on the one hand prevents it from working freely and on the other hand reveals the degree of powerlessness in which the spiritual finds itself. And the person who is able to see spiritually will hardly be able to see the activity of the spiritual in hard matter but only in the creations which signify a less hard covering for the spiritual …. in the plant and animal world, where life is already recognizable to the physical eye, but a far more extensive activity presents itself to the spiritual eye. To be able to take a look at this activity is extremely instructive and only really opens up the purpose of creation to the observer. But it also requires a high degree of maturity on the part of the human being in order to be able to see the spiritual activity in the material creation. Then, however, he will also recognize God in His exceeding love, in His unsurpassable wisdom and His abundance of strength. Then he will already have become a being of light himself which is allowed to dwell in God’s proximity, and his stay on earth will not be long, for the degree of maturity which allows spiritual vision makes further earthly life unnecessary, unless the human being has a mission to fulfil which will keep him on earth for a longer time. Yet by virtue of spiritual vision he is already blissfully happy on earth, since he can at any time place himself in a state which allows him to dwell in the spiritual kingdom and he is no longer earthbound, thus he no longer feels the encasement of his soul by the physical external form as a burden either, because he can detach himself from it at any time until he completely discards his body and can enter the spiritual kingdom as a being of light in order to likewise be active there with all his strength for eternity ….

Amen

You can do good in every situation in life if your heart impels you to do so. And thus the coming time will also bring you into situations where you are in need of help yourselves, yet you will always be able to practice love for your neighbour, you will always be able to give if you are willing to give, for in accordance with your will to love you will also receive help from above, and what you give will be returned to you many times over, spiritually as well as earthly, and you will be able to alleviate much hardship with My support, for I want you to gain a firm foundation to preach the gospel to your fellow human beings in order to draw their attention to the blessing of working with love, and then you will be able to work for Me and My kingdom, as is your task. And your fellow human beings will be able to recognize the truth of My word in yourselves, they will be able to strengthen their faith through constant help from Me as soon as they are also willing to fulfil the commandment of neighbourly love and their will thus turns towards Me. The hardship will be so great that you will be able to recognize every help as extraordinary, for your earthly situation is not enviable and yet can be bearable for every individual person who only hands himself over to Me with complete faith and trustingly places his fate into My hands. For I will take care of him conspicuously, as I have promised you, I will help him earthly and spiritually, I will guide him along paths which will always be successfully followed because I walk beside him and truly know where I will lead him …. I will give you what you need earthly to maintain your body, but just as I will also feed you spiritually every day so that you will never be without strength. Therefore, anyone who believes will have no need, and anyone who unreservedly gives himself to Me no longer needs to worry about his physical sustenance, for I will take care of him. Yet you must firmly imprint My word on your memory, you must gain strong faith by imagining that I will never tell you an untruth and that you can therefore firmly rely on what I have promised you through My word …. My constant protection and shelter and most loving care for My children …. Strive towards Me and all adversity will stay away from you. Only one thing is necessary that I have profoundly faithful representatives of My word on earth who confirm My word themselves through their faith, for through such profound faith fellow human beings can also be won over for Me and My kingdom, and the number of My own can increase …. And thus your activity in the forthcoming time is so extremely important that you can be certain of all support from Me and need not fear any adversity yourselves, even though you will lose everything through My will, for I can always return to you what I take from you if only you firmly and steadfastly believe ….

Amen

In the state of perfection there is no lack of strength and light, i.e., every deed can be carried out and every knowledge is inherent in the being, thus it is neither limited in its power nor in its wisdom. And this means an activity according to God’s will, because wisdom cannot acknowledge anything else than God’s will and therefore uses the power according to its purpose. The abundance of strength and light is therefore the aim to strive for in eternity …. Power and light emanate from God and fullness of power and light means closest unity with God, thus a God-like state, an alignment with His nature, which is love in itself. And thus what is perfect must also carry deepest love within itself, love must first have shaped the being for the reception of light and strength …. the being can only possess divine power and profound knowledge in the state of love …. And thus it follows that you humans cannot be introduced to the ultimate knowledge as long as you have not completely become love, that you will therefore never penetrate everything on earth which seems worth knowing to you, even though this is within the realm of possibility, which presupposes an extremely intimate connection with God and complete absorption in His will. But as long as the human being stays on earth the earth still keeps him bound, and God also takes this state into account in His love, always providing the human being with strength and light as is physically and spiritually advantageous for him. For before a being is not perfect it would misuse light and strength as well as these exceed its degree of maturity …. The human being would not know what to do with knowledge which surpasses his degree of maturity or would not use it in accordance with God’s will, and thus it would not make him blissfully happy either, instead it would confuse his thoughts, but on the other hand he will receive clarification about which he desires clarification, for his desire for it is decisive as to whether God provides him with clarification through His spirit. And his desire will always correspond to his activity of love and willingness. Yet there is also knowledge which reveals things still completely hidden from the human being; there is wisdom which reveals God’s greatness and glory and which is reserved for the host of blessed spirits who dwell in God’s presence; there is knowledge which is infinitely delightful and towards which all that is full of light strives, which people’s intellect on earth is incapable of grasping, knowledge which also requires an abundance of strength in order to be evaluated in accordance with God’s will. And thus it requires an exceedingly high degree of maturity which you humans can hardly reach on earth. And thus your knowledge on earth depends on your soul’s maturity, and you must constantly strive to increase it in order to increase the influx of light and strength, and you must know that you yourselves determine the knowledge which is offered to you; that there are certainly no limits from God but you yourselves set the limit which is your soul’s measure of perfection. Strive to become perfect and ever new areas will be opened up to you, yet always in accordance with your earthly capacity, which you can constantly increase by shaping yourselves into love, for love is the first prerequisite for receiving light and strength in all fullness ….

Amen

A short time of well-being on earth can result in a spiritual decline for every individual person, for as soon as the earthly struggle for existence is over the soul is immensely receptive to all kinds of stimuli and therefore offers little resistance when it is approached by the temptations of the world. However, since in the last days the soul will have to struggle harder in order to reach its aim, it must be deprived of every opportunity to become lukewarm and lethargic in its striving for ascent. And therefore suffering and adversity will approach it again and again, and every person should be grateful for this, for it is the last means to protect it from too deep a relapse. Earthly well-being can only be without harm for an already mature soul, but this soul needs no earthly riches, no physical pleasures and also no obviously good living conditions, instead, it feels at ease in every situation in life, even if it appears to fellow human beings to be arduous and meagre, just as, conversely, even apparently good living conditions cannot be enough for an immature soul and it continues to greed for greater possessions, thus it does not respect its state of soul and is in great danger. Not one event which affects the soul as adversity and hardship approaches the human being in vain, again and again God seeks to win him over for Himself by feeling his lack of strength and turning to Him for help, again and again events therefore follow each other which put a soul into turmoil and turn the human being’s attention away from worldly joys and pleasures, for the soul must constantly struggle and not become lukewarm. God knows what is useful for it and constantly creates new opportunities for it to mature, which is why a continued earthly struggle for existence is indispensable. Yet He never leaves a soul without strength which desires such and trustingly turns to Him for help. He gives it what it needs earthly and spiritually, yet for the soul’s sake He withdraws from the body what could endanger the soul. And that is why you humans will not have to hope for a considerable improvement of your situation in life, instead, again and again one event will replace the other, which will force you into an increased struggle for life. But it is the last time before the end, and it is only short and bearable for every human being if he establishes contact with his creator and sustainer, with his father of eternity. Then he will only derive spiritual benefit from the difficult time for him and one day also recognize the blessing of them, he will thank God for His care, for all suffering which contributed to the increase of the soul’s maturity, which saved him from eternal ruin ….

Amen

That the attention of My word is of greatest importance for you men is only understood by few, while the majority pays no attention to My gift. And the inevitable consequence of this is that men lack all knowledge of the forthcoming end or faith, if the knowledge is imparted to them. My word is the compensation for all heaviness which the people of the end time cannot be spared …. My word is the only means of strength to survive all heaviness, and whoever has My word, whoever is in such a connection with Me that he can hear Me himself through the voice of the spirit, whoever listens to Me when My word is imparted to him through My servants on earth, he has a treasure at his disposal which he only needs to lift …. and he will cover the earthly way unharmed in his soul until the end …. because the end is coming soon …. you men, believe My word! Let yourselves be warned and admonished, turn away from your way of life and seriously strive for a purification of your soul, change yourselves by turning your thoughts away from the world and seriously concern yourselves with your purpose of life on earth …. Let My word give you enlightenment about it, and therefore prepare yourselves for a quick end, which can be given to all of you, who now walk on earth. Because the time is fulfilled and what now comes are the last travails before the end. And all worldly events should make you think, because it comes as it is written …. what has been proclaimed to people again and again by prophets and seers is being fulfilled …. the end is coming …. You men yourselves contribute to the fact that this no longer tolerates a delay because you no longer listen to me, because you are without faith and therefore distance yourselves from Me, because you grant My opponent too much power and right and thus make yourselves his servants and fight against me. But I still try to pull you over into My camp through My word so that you do not belong to the defeated but can come out as victors. But you do not pay attention to My word, you attach no other meaning to it than human words, which you ignore because they do not sound pleasant to you. And yet I speak to you Myself because My love drives Me to save you from the power of My opponent, listen to Me and save yourselves. Bring up the will to let yourselves be taught, and you will realize the urgency of it that I Myself speak to you from above. You will also recognize your lack of strength, which I want to remedy through My word. And so receive the most delicious gift, which I offer you from above, because it alone is the means to create relief for you in every spiritual and earthly trouble. I Myself come to you in the word …. Understand this and respect the gift which a loving father heart wants to give to his children in order to help them. Listen to My word and obey it, and open your hearts to Me when I desire entrance …. And all horrors will only touch you in a shadowy way, the days will be shortened so that they do not weigh on you in all heaviness, you will have strength in you, which you draw from Me by receiving My word and I Myself will be with you and guide you until the end of your life, which will then be a blessed one, if you go towards it strengthened by My word ….

Amen

The beings which are surrounded by light in the spiritual kingdom are in closest contact with Me and therefore also share the same will, and they have a tremendous amount of strength at their disposal to implement their will. And thus they are effectively the executives of My will, they are My servants, My authorised representatives, whose actions comply with My plan of Salvation since eternity. They take care of countless beings on earth as well as in the beyond …. Everything that is alive, thus having a certain degree of maturity, also has to be cared for such that it achieves its goal, because without help it would never take the right path; it has to be constantly guided, and this guidance and care is the responsibility of all beings who are permeated by light and strength, whose love for Me and for the unredeemed is so profound that they will always do that which complies with My will …. to release the imperfect spirit. Countless beings of light are close to Me and tirelessly active …. thus countless people on earth are also able to enjoy their care, and every single fate, every event can be directed for the human being in such a way that he can fully mature, as is his destiny.

But even these beings of light will not infringe on the freedom of will, so that, in spite of greatest and utmost loving care, a descent into darkness is not impossible if the being itself resists the will and care of the light beings, thus when it does not acknowledge Me Myself and does not desire strength or light …. In that case the care of the spiritual beings of light will also cease until the person turns to Me himself and thereby also gives the beings of light the freedom to influence him.

But no human being on earth needs to do without the light beings’ help and love, no human being will be poorly considered or neglected by Me, but every person’s fate corresponds to his own will and this determines the amount of help and strength for his salvation. And since the beings of light are the executives of My will their guidance and care is the same as Mine. Consequently, one can only ever speak of My work and My help, because the beings of light belong to Me as part of Myself, even though they experience the happiness of My permeating them with strength and light and the bliss of constant activity for Me as individual beings. This activity, however, consists purely of executing what My love and wisdom deems to be good and beneficial for the individual souls. Thus the entire universe can be full of souls in need of help, not one soul will have to do without divine care because the kingdom of light is infinite and the bliss of the souls therein consists of accepting tasks from Me and surpassing each other in fulfilling them.

The soul that has become My Own through shaping itself into love is also in direct contact with Me, and My will, My strength and My wisdom permeate this loving being so that it will not part from Me again for all eternity. It then lovingly devotes itself to the souls which cannot share this bliss due to their imperfection, and which the being of light feels impelled to release. It feels the same love for the unredeemed as I Myself, from Whose strength of love everything emerged. Thus it will also look after My living creations, take care of them and direct their state of affairs, so that every human being on earth has a spiritual guardian who, in turn, being completely connected to Me, cannot want and think other than I Myself. I stand above everything surrounded by a host of blissful spirits, but even the smallest and most insignificant being enjoys My care, My protection, and will not be forgotten by Me, even if this is incomprehensible to people because their knowledge and strength is limited and they assume that I have the same restrictions too, as long as they are imperfect themselves and have no idea about the power and light of the Perfect ….

Amen

Observe the development of the different schools of thought and you will have to confirm that first there had to be doubts or counter-opinions which stimulated several like-minded people to exchange thoughts and which finally led to the establishment of new teachings, more or less successfully, depending on the number of doubters and seekers of truth. The desire for truth will always be inherent in the seekers, and yet there are different schools of thought, thus divergent teachings of faith. And this finds its explanation in the nature of the followers, especially those from whom the transforming thoughts have emerged. Their way of life is decisive as to how far they are in truth, for it depends on their way of life alone how far God, as the giver of truth, participates in their mental work. If you humans want to know the truth then you absolutely have to put yourselves into a state through a God-pleasing way of life so that He Himself can impart the truth to you through correctly guided thinking, if you don’t hear His voice within you, yet you also seriously desire the truth, otherwise you won’t ask questions and thus won’t be able to receive an answer either. But only doubts will cause you to ask questions, and doubts will befall you if you seriously think about what you are taught. Therefore it is urgently necessary that you mentally deal with the spiritual knowledge which is imparted to you from outside, otherwise no other spiritual direction could ever be taken. And it is up to you whether your thinking is guided right or wrong. But it will always be right if you appeal to God for His help, if you endeavour to comply with His will, which is expressed in His word, which can be imparted to you everywhere. Seek God and you will find Him, seek the truth and it will become yours, yet you will not be able to fathom it purely intellectually, for which the various schools of thought will give you proof …. Yet they shall give you proof that their followers were intellectually active themselves, that they felt prompted by doubts about the truth of their own possessions to seek a doctrine of faith which appeals to them, and that this activity of thought is the first prerequisite in order to arrive at the pure truth. It cannot be gained without one’s own reflection, and one’s own reflection must lead to the awareness of one’s inability to penetrate the truth by oneself, and God as the eternal truth must be called upon for support. But anyone who finds the path to God will also always endeavour to live in accordance with His will. And thus he will fulfil all preconditions …. he will live in love, acknowledge God and desire the truth …. And if he now pays attention to his thoughts, if he dwells longer on the disputed question and then acknowledges the thoughts flowing towards him as being of divine origin, he will be introduced to pure truth and it will give him full satisfaction …. He will have the inner conviction to think right and no longer be subject to doubts about it. For God, as the eternal truth, also wants to convey this to people who are worthy of it …. And they will also remain faithful to a thus gained school of thought and be able to convincingly stand up for its truth towards their fellow human beings ….

Amen

Every spiritual conversation attracts My presence if it is earnestly conducted and therefore people’s own approval, but not their rejection, is recognisable. I participate in every conversation by straightening out each individual person’s thoughts according to his nature, by allowing My spirit to become active in them so that it will instruct them from within. For this reason, spiritual conversations always meet My approval, even if they are conducted in a fighting mood when different opinions are upheld. Then I Myself will speak through the person who tries to adapt himself to My nature, who has so shaped himself through love that he can hear My voice within or who is able to voice clear thoughts which seem acceptable to every thinking human being. For I very happily stay where spiritual questions are discussed, they are, after all, the evidence that truth is sought and that I Myself Am the centre of every spiritual debate. Consequently, I try to convey the truth to them, to organise their thoughts and guide them such that they will take the right direction and provide absolute clarity for people. However, the will for truth must be present, people should not merely argue in order to impose their own opinions but for the sake of truth itself, for this guarantees My presence, just as I will definitely keep My distance if a spiritual conversation is motivated by purely earthly interests, where thus, in the opposite instance, the debaters’ ultimate purpose is to displace Me, to shake people’s faith and to prove to them that there is no connection between heaven and earth, between people and their Creator …. and, therefore, where spiritual things are also discussed but only in My adversary’s sense. That is where he will be present and confuse people’s thoughts, so that they will lose all clarity in their thinking and never be able to find the truth. Where I Am acknowledged that is where I stay, where I Am rejected that is where My adversary stays, and the results of a spiritual conversation run accordingly. Yet people will greatly benefit if a person devoted to Me participates in an opposing conversation, whom I Myself can subsequently support and through whom I Myself can speak in order to instruct people and divert them from their wrong thoughts. In that case My presence is necessary, as well as possible, because a receiving vessel exists into which I can let My spirit flow …. Then a spiritual battle will ensue, a battle of light against darkness in which people participate, and the success of such a conversation depends on the will for truth. However, I will bless all those who allow their thoughts to wander into the spiritual kingdom, for only they will be able to realise the truth if they seriously desire it ….

Amen

Unusual hardship necessitates unusual help, and unusual hardship is when people walk along in error, for error is darkness, error is ignorance of truth and therefore a path which can never lead to the aim. But the aim is God, and if God cannot be reached, if this is made impossible, urgent help is needed. Error must be fought and the pure truth offered in return, for only truth is the path to eternal life. Therefore, truth must take an unusual path so that it will be recognized and heeded as such …. It must so obviously reveal the divine outcome that people will stop and pay attention to what is offered to them, only then will they weigh it up against error and allow themselves to be taught that they have to take a different path in order to reach the aim. However, as long as they hold on to error the blessing of truth remains hidden from them …. the strength which harbours and emanates divine truth …. People must first observe the commandment of love, only then will they be able to recognize the pure truth and free themselves from error; for the recognition of truth as such and thus the rejection of error requires strength of judgment which is the result of unselfish activity of love. And so that the human being will take it seriously, because it is necessary for the pure truth to permeate earth, God conveys this truth to earth in an unusual way through His word, which He imparts to a person through the voice of the spirit, and He urgently admonishes them to be lovingly active …. so that the darkness will disappear, so that the path which people should take and which will safely lead to the aim will lie brightly and clearly before them. People live without seriously considering their soul’s development, and yet many believe that they can fulfil their earthly task by fulfilling certain duties and customs which, however, do not increase their soul’s maturity in the slightest. And this is the error which is extremely damaging for people’s souls and therefore cannot be fought seriously enough. Only the fulfilment of the divine commandment of love contributes towards increasing the soul’s maturity, and as long as love is not practiced all spiritual progress is impossible. But error, by which countless people are ensnared, must also be branded as error, otherwise it cannot be discarded and replaced by pure truth. As long as people believe that they can gain God’s pleasure by obeying human commandments, as long as they consider them important and only pay attention to and try to obey the divine commandment of love secondarily, they will waste energy without making any progress. For error does not lead to God …. i.e., even if people excel in obeying humanly decreed commandments, they will not come one step closer to God as a result but they have to fulfil His commandment which demands love for their neighbour and which does not require any external confirmations but is only a matter of the heart. To use all strength for activity in unselfish neighbourly love is in accordance with God’s will, and anyone who strives for this will also be in possession of the pure truth and recognize error as such, he will try to discard it and attain maturity of soul, he will reach his aim of coming close to God ….

Amen

You will only be able to assess the value of My word after you have shed your physical shell when you will realize that My word has brought about your spiritual maturing, that it gave you light and strength for the earthly path and that it is My direct emanation which can never remain without effect …. And the effect of My word is light and strength …. You become knowledgeable through My word …. Knowledge is indeed also offered to you in such a way that your will has to become active to absorb it and make it your spiritual property. You can attain a high degree of knowledge if you seriously immerse yourselves in My word, if you want to quench your thirst for knowledge and, in your desire for profound wisdom, refresh yourselves at the source of My eternal love. Then you will possess an exceedingly rich knowledge when you enter the kingdom of light and be correspondingly happy, because you can use this possession according to your will. Possessing much means being able to give much, and giving much earns you increased bliss, for you receive far more than you give …. On earth you will also receive according to your willingness to give. My word will indeed always be offered to you in order to first stimulate your willingness to give, the commandment of love will be announced to you through My word for the time being …. yet you will only receive truthful knowledge when you fulfil this commandment of love, for love is the fire from which light emanates, and one without the other is inconceivable. And thus the greater the flame of love the brighter the light will shine …. the knowledge will be profound and comprehensive in the one who lives in love …. And this knowledge, the pure truth from Me, will be presented to the loving human being in such a way as I find it beneficial for his purpose on earth …. Exceedingly rich knowledge will be his share if he wants to be redeemingly active and voluntarily places himself at My disposal, for then he will need the knowledge for his spiritual work. Countless souls, however, have less knowledge on earth despite their eager activity of love, but they gain fullest knowledge in a flash as soon as the soul leaves the body, so that they can now be active in the beyond according to their purpose. A person’s degree of knowledge will depend on his desire and his earthly task, and a person with a thirst for knowledge will, if he lives correctly on earth, always walk in brightest light, for I Myself will take care of him and instruct him, directly or indirectly …. I guide his thoughts correctly, I convey My word to him …. I inform him of My activity on earth and speak to him through My word, which directly reaches people from above. If he asks mental questions I will give him an answer, and his knowledge will take on an extent that he will feel richly pleased and urged to utilize this knowledge towards his fellow human beings, for the right knowledge will give him the realization of the urgency of help, and in his love he will always be willing to help and thus likewise participate in the act of salvation, and his will will be blessed ….

Amen

The opportunity is always open to you to receive clarification about questions which move you, as long as you sincerely desire an answer. Thus you can also expand your knowledge at any time, and you will never need to remain at a standstill …. but you must make use of this opportunity …. I Myself give what I deem necessary and beneficial for your souls; I instruct you to the extent that it is beneficial or necessary for the fulfilment of your earthly task, yet you can increase the measure at any time through your own will if you request what you seem to lack, and I will gladly grant it to you, for I satisfy My own’ desire if it does not harm them …. But increased knowledge also obliges you to use it. What you receive from Me you must also pass on, otherwise it would remain unused strength from Me. If you now want to be active for Me by being willing to let My strength flow over to your fellow human beings …. by imparting your knowledge to them which you have received from Me, then no limit of knowledge will certainly be set for you by Me but you will be able to penetrate all areas which are otherwise closed to you. Depending on My listeners’ willingness to work I distribute, and now it will also be understandable to you that I first impart the knowledge to My servants on earth which concerns the time of the end, because they are meant to exercise their office during this time, for which a specific knowledge is required. It will be understandable to you that My servants have to provide information about that which most moves people’s hearts …. about the matter which is still so highly valued by people and whose value therefore has to be thoroughly illuminated, so that they will learn to understand the events of the last days as approved by Me. So that the teacher can also refute every other objection he has certainly also been offered extended knowledge beforehand, yet this knowledge is not absolutely necessary for the people to whom spiritual help is to be brought. They shall merely be pointed to the near end, to the responsibility they bear towards their soul and to the urgency of a change of their soul’s nature, to the urgency of diligent soul work, so that it will not perish on the day of judgment. Nevertheless, the individual’s thirst for knowledge is also taken into account if he is moved by questions which he presents to Me for an answer. Whatever you request, whatever you trustingly ask Me for, will be given to you, be it spiritual or earthly goods …. if only you believe …. For I let neither body nor soul go hungry and consider them as it is beneficial for both. And there are no limits to the knowledge of a person who wants to be of service to Me as long as he wants to use this knowledge in order to work for My kingdom on this earth. For this is the most important thing in the coming time, that My servants are restlessly active because the end is near and that they help to rescue those of good will from the darkness.

Amen

I draw close to anyone who looks for Me and participate in his thinking, that is, the strength of My spirit makes contact with the spiritual spark in the human being and thus the association with Me is established for the duration of his mental activity regarding Me. And then people’s thinking will be correct because My spirit will put it into order and guide it. And thus all kinds of questions can be raised mentally, whether the person desires an answer for himself or for conversations with other people …. he will receive the right answer because I Myself stay as a Mentor with those who are looking for Me. But I truly know best to what extent people strive towards Me and therefore I consider every person differently, depending on his desire and the compliance with the conditions which enable the working of My spirit …. And it will often seem as if I treat people unfairly if the effort of one person is not outwardly noticeable to his fellow human beings …. Yet someone who withdraws into solitude need not display his striving, however, it will be easier for him to make contact with Me and he can therefore be a diligent student of Mine, whereas his fellow human being is incapable of looking inwards due to lack of practice and is therefore not able to hear My gentle voice. In that case his connection with the world is still too strong and this obstacle has to be removed first if someone wants to find Me and hear My voice. The spirit within the person is not interested in the world, it only seeks contact with the Father-Spirit. For this reason I draw close to anyone whose heart desires Me, and I allow Myself to be found by anyone who looks for Me …. for love is in everyone who seeks Me, and therefore he longs for Me, the primary source of love …. He will indeed reach his goal of being eternally united with Me, for anyone who lives in love is in Me and I Am in him. And he will feel My presence because I allow Myself to be found by someone who looks for Me. Thus he will also be aware of My presence and therefore already be happy on earth ….

From this time on the world has nothing to offer him anymore because he desires different goods, gifts offered to him by My love in the form of Words which he either perceives mentally or audibly and which are the most precious gift he can receive on earth because they originate from the spiritual kingdom, because it is My voice he hears, the voice of the Father Who speaks to His child. Anyone who lives a life of love on earth is indeed a most blessed creature since he will never ever need to miss Me again for I will permeate him with My strength of love and he will receive knowledge in abundance. Then the spirit in him will be able to express itself and indeed be listened to and understood, his soul will merge with the spirit and subordinate the body so that its substances can also spiritualise themselves as long as it is the soul’s shell on earth. But I draw everything to Me which adapts itself to Me by shaping itself into love. There will be no more separation, no gulf between the person and Me once he lives a life of love. Then I will be close to him and accessible to him at all times, then he will always and forever be able to hear My Word, he can communicate with Me by withdrawing into his closet …. by looking inwards and listening to My voice …. He will no longer need to look for Me for he has found Me and will not distance himself from Me again because My proximity makes him happy, because My Word is the greatest bliss for him and because an abundance of strength and light pour into him and testify to My presence. Seek, and ye shall find …. knock, and it shall be opened unto you …. Communicate with Me mentally and you will hear My answer, you will mature and safely reach the goal of blissful union with Me ….

Amen

Great grace is bestowed upon you through the transmission of My word …. You are in contact with the spiritual kingdom, you no longer only live in this world but you can enter the actual home at any time and draw strength from there for all hardship and suffering of earthly times. And you can entrust them to Me through faithful prayer and ask Me to carry them for you, for through My word you have knowledge of My greater than great love, omnipotence and wisdom and, if you believe, know that you are always safe in My protection. I impart the knowledge of this to you through My word, and if it is offered to you directly from heaven it also makes it easier for you to believe it, for what I announce to you comes true, and thus you can let go of all doubt, if you are still of little faith you can only live out My word and thus put it to the test, and you will recognize that My word is truth, that it is My word which is offered to you from above. You receive a gift of grace which is incomprehensible to you, a gift which you cannot appreciate enough, for it constantly puts you in a position to be able to distribute light and strength yourselves and thus to carry out a great work of neighbourly love and thereby to have a redeeming effect on earth and to mature exceedingly quickly in your soul yourselves. My love gives you every possibility of a rapid ascent, yet you must also contribute everything yourselves so that the gift of grace can take effect on you, for this solely depends on your free will whether and to what extent you use My gift of grace. You must be aware of the fact that it is a gift from Me which you do not deserve in your state of maturity but which My love bestows upon you in order to make you more worthy so that you can approach Me. And therefore you first have to obey My word, you have to believe it, that your state of maturity will increase if you do what I demand of you through My word. Then you will also recognize the truth of My word by its effect and gratefully accept My gift of grace as an extraordinary gift. Appreciate it, don’t become lukewarm and indolent but let the transmission of My word be a constant miracle for you which fills you with gratitude and love towards the giver; know that you can have an exceedingly great advantage if you don’t carelessly pass it by. Be aware of your unworthiness and make an effort to become worthy of My love and grace by fulfilling My will, which I reveal to you through My word. Appreciate the gift of grace by letting it affect you again and again, immerse yourselves in My word, accept it with a hungry heart and let yourselves be refreshed, for your soul needs strengthening and refreshment so that it can still mature on earth. And thus I give you the nourishment of the soul, spiritual bread and living water, I constantly feed and water you through My word which is offered to you from above because I love you and want to make you blissfully happy ….

Amen

Complete trust in My help is the surest guarantee, and thus it is always up to you yourselves to what extent you experience My help and with what severity earthly adversity oppresses you. For I will remedy it according to your faith, after all, the purpose of adversity is to win you over and to strengthen your faith in My love and omnipotence within you. Spiritual hardship, on the other hand, I will remedy according to your will to love, according to your desire for Me. For you will only feel spiritual hardship as hardship when you believe in Me and consciously strive towards Me, only then will you realize your soul’s imperfection, and you will feel this as hardship and then request My support, My help and grace in order to become perfect. Then you will also never make a wrong request, for your will to change is now the guarantee for it, you will succeed with My help. But saving your soul from spiritual adversity is far more important as long as you live on earth, for earthly adversity comes to an end with your earthly demise, but the soul’s adversity remains and can only be remedied by your own will, which, however, is extremely weak in the beyond if it has not already striven for a change of soul on earth. First recognize your spiritual adversity and humbly turn to Me for help, then trustingly present your earthly adversity to Me and I will also release you from it …. I will intervene so that you can recognize Me and with certainty where My own dwell, where a strong faith firmly expects My help without doubt and misgivings …. There I am constantly ready to help in order not to cause such faith to waver and to still strengthen a weak faith. And if you are still weak in faith, immerse yourselves in My word and, through the strength of My word, also increase the strength of your faith. For if you let Me speak to you I will be able to remedy your spiritual adversity at the same time and My word will not remain ineffective on you, you will feel, if you are of good will, that I only speak words of truth to you, that My love wants to give you what you lack, that I want to give to you spiritually and earthly in order to win you for Me, in order to bring a profound unshakeable faith to maturity in you. For this makes you free from all weakness of body and soul. A strong faith is your own strength, for then you will also know that you are never without help and that you can overcome everything with My support, with My strength, which you can acquire yourselves through faith. Therefore, again and again I have to impose tests of faith on you, again and again I have to let you experience earthly adversity so that your faith will revive, so that you will present your earthly adversity to Me and then fully trustingly expect My help. And you will receive it because I also want to help you to have strong faith so that you will also face greater adversity without worry and fear, so that you will always oppose it with My certain help and I can now take it away from you. For I will truly never disappoint a believing earthly child which trusts in the father’s help. My love will remove earthly and spiritual adversity from you if you believe in Me and My love ….

Amen

The destruction of the old earth is followed by the construction of a new earth …. This has been planned since eternity, and God’s will and power will be active for a work of the most meaningful and purposeful kind. New creations will delight people who are honoured to enliven the new earth. And these creations will come into being in an instant …. yet not before the eyes of people who still dwell in the place of peace where they will be raptured to before the downfall of the old earth. They will indeed see the old earth perish, they will see the work of destruction which they themselves escaped through God’s great love, but they will not see the emergence of the new earth but will be brought to it after the completion of a work which reveals God’s great power and glory. And God accomplishes the miraculous work at the moment, His will lets His thoughts and ideas become form, for the slow course of development, which was observed during the creation of the old earth, has now become unnecessary because the spiritual, which is to enliven the new creation, has already covered this slow path of development, because this course has been interrupted and thus now only works of creation are necessary which receive the spiritual awaiting its further development, which happens at the moment of creation. The spiritual, which as a human being did not pass the last test of earthly life, is banished anew in solid matter, which, however, is also assembled differently than on the old earth insofar as that it has new substances which are completely unknown to people, which are in themselves difficult to dissolve but which will serve people for their benefit in a way they will soon understand, and thus the spiritual is allowed to serve in it, as well as matter fulfils its serving purpose, which, however, again depends on the will of the spiritual. The other creations are also inconceivable to people of the old earth and therefore they will cause unspeakable rejoicing because they delight the eye and the heart due to their beauty and purpose. All spiritual substances which have become free will take abode in these new creations and now be able to continue the interrupted development, for the people of the new earth will immediately realize the purpose of every work of creation since they have a high degree of maturity and will, as it were, also be instructed by God Himself through the voice of the spirit in the application of these works of creation in their daily life. It will be a life of joy and peace in God, for the new creations contribute considerably to people’s love for Him increasing considerably and their complete absorption in His will. Nor will they need to suffer any hardship, for God cares for them fatherly and provides for them bodily and spiritually in abundance. The concept of time for the length of their being far away from the old earth has been taken away from them so that they do not know and cannot fathom the period of time in which the reorganization of the earth took place… They continue their life as they led it on the place of peace after the rapture, they are in constant activity and in constant working in love, they are intimately united with God and know no other will than His …. they live in a paradisiacal state of bliss and peace, and thus a new era of redemption begins again with spiritually mature people who are no longer harassed by the enemy of their souls and can therefore travel the path of ascent unhindered, who still shape themselves into purest beings of light on earth and find complete union with God …. who are therefore true children of God and can enjoy all the bliss of God’s nearness already on earth ….

Amen

The fulfilment of My will is always to be understood as the fulfilment of My commandment of love, for this includes everything I demand of you humans. If you seriously consider My constant request to love your neighbour as yourselves, you will recognize every action which is not right according to My will as wrong, because it harms your neighbour physically or spiritually. Love must always be the basic principle of your thoughts and actions, then you will never violate My commandment of love. And you will respect your neighbour’s possessions, his honour, you will treat him as a brother and not try to harm him in body and soul. Hence love is the greatest commandment, and I always and constantly preach it, for you humans care for it so little and thereby easily fall prey to the one who is without love and also tries to stifle it in you in order to separate you from Me. And therefore you also ignore My commandments, you try to increase your possessions at the expense of your neighbour, you try to gain all attractions from earthly life, and this often by using means which lack all love for your fellow human being …. Thus you go against My commandment, you don’t live according to My will. And then you will never be able to reach your aim …. merging with Me through love. For I only gave you the commandment of love in order to show you the path on which you can come to unity with Me. My commandment applies in particular to those who stand apart from Me, for the one who strives towards Me does not need a commandment, he will never act against My will because the spark of love has already been kindled in him, otherwise the desire for Me would not fill him. But anyone who is still devoid of all love needs My commandment so that he can measure his actions and thoughts by it, and thus he is given guidelines so that he recognizes when and how he sins against love, and he will have certain success if he keeps My commandment of neighbourly love in mind in everything he thinks and does. He will respect his neighbour’s property, he will try to keep all harm away from him, he will regard him spiritually and earthly as a brother, and thus if he shows love towards his neighbour he will also love Me, for the fulfilment of My will towards the neighbour also results in an increase in knowledge. I will no longer be a stranger to him and he will seek to make contact with the being Which created him. For love alone provides him with light, and therefore the commandment of love is the only and greatest one which makes My will known ….

Amen

The living connection with Me is established through heartfelt prayer. But in order to be able to pray correctly, i.e. in heartfelt love for Me, the human being must believe in Me as his father of eternity Who, because He is love Himself, draws close to every one of His living creations if they call upon Him. Furthermore, he must also believe in My might or he would not turn to Me for help in the adversity of body and soul. Faith in My love and My omnipotence makes the human being trusting and confident, and he seeks mental contact with Me, his heart opens up to Me because it wants to receive Me, and thus I come alive in his heart, i.e. he is aware of My presence if he prays to Me in spirit and in truth …. childlike and humble and yet confidently hoping for help. Heartfelt prayer always establishes the connection with Me, and the praying earthly child will always receive earthly or spiritual good, as I deem it beneficial for it. The more consciously this connection with Me is cultivated the more powerfully the human being will be able to work on earth, and then he will no longer feel weak, for My nearness will teach him otherwise, My nearness will give him the awareness of strength and grace which originates from Me. The human being must never imagine that God is to be sought in the distance and that He as spirit does not unite with people on earth. I always enter into this connection because I have set the unification with Me as the final aim for every creature and therefore immediately seize what tries to approach Me of its own free will. And free will expresses itself in prayer, for the human being is never forced into prayer, the prayer which comes from the heart is always a voluntary union with Me which is based on faith in Me and My love. And the certain success of a right prayer is an influx of strength for the soul, for the connection with Me must reveal an effect, because My nearness always results in an increased degree of maturity, and this will not always be felt by the body but certainly by the soul, and it will reach the aim. The living connection with Me is the surest means to become perfect, for anyone who receives My strength also progresses upwards, I draw him because he strives towards Me …. And what I once grasp I will not let go of eternally. Anyone who prays in such a way that he speaks to Me in his heart will also be able to hear Me, for I will answer all His words and thoughts as soon as he only lets Me speak, i.e. listens to what I want to say to him. Anyone who intimately unites with Me also listens to My voice, he asks for clarification and I give it to My child because it asks the father for it, I provide for it physically and spiritually, that is, I listen to its earthly plea and don’t disappoint it by denying Myself, just as I also take its spiritual state into account and provide the child with what it lacks …. spiritual good that will benefit his soul …. for I love My children and consider all who unite in deep faith in Me ….

Amen

Divine love is not always recognizable but it is always at work to help people as well as all spiritual substances which still languish unredeemed in material form. Every change is a help, and that is why the human being should also participate in the transformation of that which surrounds him as matter if it does not fulfil a serving purpose. Your love for the unredeemed is also expressed in the fact that you help him in spiritual adversity, and you can do this as soon as you open up serving possibilities for him. Everything that surrounds you suffers agony if it cannot be active, for it has the will to do so and has always been incorporated into the form on the basis of its will, which has a serving activity as its purpose, thus the human being must contribute to the spiritual not being prevented from serving in order not to prolong its agony but to help it to become free from its form. But the human being’s thoughts and aspirations are directed towards acquiring possessions, towards collecting riches, and consequently he will only use a small part of his material possessions for their actual purpose, while the other, far greater part of his possessions will remain inactive because they are not permitted to be of service. And thus it is understandable how necessary a dissolution of the form of that spiritual substance has become, which for a long time was already bound in matter without having been conveyed to its actual purpose; it is understandable that God Himself helps the spiritual substance where the human being’s help fails, where his greed for earthly possessions drove him to collect material goods without taking the actual purpose of those goods into account. It is understandable that God has taken these goods from people and thereby gives the spiritual being, which is still in matter, increased opportunity to serve and redeem itself. And at the same time He exerts pressure on the human being to take part in the work of redemption by letting him get into situations of hardship which are meant to impel him to carry out material transformations in order to make unusable matter usable again. The human being is given innumerable possibilities to be creative and creatively active in times when all possessions have been destroyed, and he should exhaust these possibilities so that it will be a blessing for himself and for spiritual matter, so that lively activity will begin everywhere …. For this alone is redeeming and increases the spiritual’s degree of maturity, whereas inactivity means a standstill of the spiritual’s development and will never find God’s approval. The gathering of earthly goods will only be beneficial if increased activity arises from it, if all spiritual substances bound in it are admitted to an activity which corresponds to their purpose …. if the material goods find the use which corresponds to their nature. And this has to be helped by people, for the spiritual substance in matter is mostly dependent on people’s help insofar as they have to assign it its purpose or let new creations arise through their will and vitality where the spiritual substance was deprived of the opportunity to serve. And that is why the work of eager hands is a great blessing, that is why diminished material possessions will always encourage eager activity and this will be of greatest advantage for the spiritual substance as well as for the human being himself, for the process of redemption of all spiritual substances can only continue if it is enabled to be of service and can thereby overcome the external form again and again until, as a human being, it can carry out service and thereby finally redeem itself ….

Amen

In a time of complete darkness I have to send you humans increased light so that you will see and find the right path to Me. And complete darkness will prevail when people no longer long for the truth themselves or when they accept everything as truth which is offered to them and which is strongly permeated by error. The light of truth is My word, for I Myself am the eternal truth and the light emanates from Me. But what is conveyed to people on earth as My word has lost its bright glow of light, it is only the shell which once contained the core …. Admittedly, the core can still be found with good will by the person who seriously strives for truth, for it consists of the pure teaching of love which I Myself preached to people on earth in order to transfer them from the state of darkness into the bright state, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life, in order to guide them into recognizing the truth from Me …. For light is wisdom, light is knowledge about Me and My plan of salvation from eternity …. Anyone who lives in the light will also feel the benefit of light, anyone who lives in darkness does not know the meaning and purpose of earthly existence and seeks it in the world, he only strives and creates diligently for earthly things and ignores the spiritual. He does not know the path because it is dark around him and he desires too little for the light, for the word which comes forth from Me, testifies of Me and leads to Me …. This word is offered to him too little because he desires it too little. You humans are unaware of the power of My word if you receive it in earnest desire for it …. you pay more attention to ceremonies and humanly decreed commandments than to My word …. yet this alone is important to take, it is the word alone which gives you brightness if you obey it, for with the word light comes to you which flows over you from above according to your desire. If you want to recognize error you must let yourselves be instructed, you must learn to distinguish truth from error and, if both are offered to you, decide for yourselves what you want to accept …. You must also grant access to the light which My love allows to flow to you …. you must pay attention to My word, which is offered to you from above, or you must accept it elsewhere with a full-hearted will for truth, for it will always be My word if you desire to hear Me Myself. Understand that your desire alone is decisive as to whether you accept truth or error …. Grasp this so that you can understand why humanity lives in darkness, why it no longer lives in pure truth, which at the same time also signifies light, because the desire for truth does not exist. And therefore error also finds access and yet is not recognized as error. Again and again I try to point people to the truth but they shyly withdraw, they flee the light and content themselves with the twilight which makes every clear realization impossible for them. They are content with inadequate knowledge and yet could be introduced to profoundest wisdom if they respected My light from above, which is imparted to them as an extraordinary gift of grace. They could lift an immeasurable treasure and carelessly pass it by. But they constantly receive error and thereby aggravate their lightless state. Let yourselves be enlightened, do not set limits to your own knowledge, think for yourselves and do not thoughtlessly accept what is offered to you under the guise of My will. Come to Me and appeal to Me for the purest truth, don’t be satisfied with spiritual knowledge offered to you by people but always ask Me for advice first, appeal to Me for support, for right thinking, and sincerely desire to stand in the truth …. and it will become yours, you will recognize it as truth, you will pleasantly feel it as light and never ever want to step out of the light of My word, for My word alone is light which shines far and wide, which chases away all darkness in you, gives you right recognition and leads you towards Me …. My word is eternal truth, for it originates from Me Myself as the eternal truth. And anyone who lives in truth will never ever lose it, he will take it with him as spiritual possessions into the kingdom, which is his true home, and he will live for eternity ….

Amen

From the communist point of view there should to be no differences in external life conditions nor in the life-style of the individual. Yet this does not correspond to God’s will Who Himself takes into account the manifold differences of human beings’ destinies. People should certainly strive to allow their neighbour the same of what they themselves possess and what makes them happy, but it must always be left to the individual to interpret the commandment of neighbourly love. He must not be compelled to share his property, nor, on the other hand, must his property be taken away from him if he has lawfully acquired it. There will always be and remain differences in the size of property as long as people’s work capacity and their willingness to work varies, and these can never become the same, the free development of the individual should not be prevented.

It would be a monotonous world if God had not been diverse in His creation and if He had not given the human being the ability to fashion his life according to his own will and strength. Since both must find application, this is the purpose and goal of life on earth. The will of the human being may manifest itself in numerous ways, the life energy flowing to the human being can be variously applied. Just as God has also distributed it in various ways, consequently people’s activity must be different too and therefore, understandably, also their earthly success. Differing living conditions develop from this, because they depend on human existence. Everyone should, of course, strive to see justice done in all things to other people but this does not signify absolute equality.

Indeed the difference in success is an incentive to increase activity and activity is always beneficial, while the urge to be active is instantly diminished if success doesn’t flow from it. Unused life energy is also an indication of standstill or even regression, for the human being himself as well as for the development of the spirit bound in matter. Uninterrupted activity guarantees uninterrupted upward development. God, therefore, allows for destinies to have different effects in order to heighten the individual’s drive towards activity …. just as He also generally provides people differently with earthly possessions, with abilities and earthly success. Because communal life should also awaken the thought of love for other people and inspire activity. But as soon as people attempt to equalise the conditions of life by taking from one person and giving it to another, as soon as people strive to remove all differences, the urge for zealous activity is also suppressed, just as righteous thought and action is put into question too. Because then people are no longer assessed on their merit but the person who has lost his value, due to his attitude or laziness, receives in equal measure.

There have to be differences, there must be elevated and downcast human beings so that the service of love for other people can unfold …. there has to be wealth and poverty or mankind would lack all striving and the will to be active would be reduced to a minimum. Individual hardship and misery of the individual can only be alleviated with love and never by an action that extends to many people for the purpose of parity and egalitarianism of life’s conditions, which would never be a blessing for humanity. Moreover, this would be tantamount to wanting to interfere with divine plans of destiny, wherein people shall never succeed, because even where compensation on a worldly basis is achieved, God increases His demands on the human being or His will ruins what people’s will attempts to implement, if it does not correspond to divine will ….

Amen

To accomplish a spiritual task requires an exceptionally strong will, for God’s adversary will make a special effort to influence this will in order to prevent the human being from speaking on behalf of the pure truth, which is the task of a person who has offered his service to God. There will always be two movements amongst people, followers and representatives of the pure truth and those who adhere to error, and the light will always have to fight against the darkness, because the prince of lies constantly attempts to undermine the truth and to replace it with error. The prince of darkness fights against God, the lie against the truth, the darkness against the light …. And this battle will continue for as long as the earth exists as a place of education for the spiritual beings which are intended to redeem themselves. This battle will particularly clearly come to light when the truth is manifestly conveyed from above to earth. Then the adversary will make use of all conceivable means in order to displace it, and then he will also appear as a figure of light in order to treacherously sneak in and take root where too little resistance is offered to him. And first he tries to put the bearers of truth out of action by using every opportunity to break their will, by seeking to influence them to abandon their work for God and to find a substitute for it in the pleasures of the world. If he does not succeed in tempting a servant of God with the world, he will take more severe action and try to undermine their success with fellow human beings by influencing the latter’s attitude in a negative sense and thereby complicating the mission of the distributers of light on earth in every way.

And so it requires a strong will to carry out the task on earth despite these countermeasures, it requires an exceedingly strong faith and devoted love to God to remain a loyal labourer for Him on earth, to recognise the adversary and to abhor him and to carry out the work on fellow human beings with perseverance and enthusiasm and to finally face him victoriously when the last battle is won. Yet God leaves no servant and labourer of His on earth without strength, He will always help him if he threatens to become weak, if his will is subjected to severe upheavals through the continuous influence by the enemy of truth. Then He will also manifest Himself, and the adversary must retreat from Him …. The truth will always displace the error, unless people don’t defend themselves and prefer error to truth …. Then God lets them have their will and gives to them what they themselves desire. In that case, God’s adversary will certainly be victorious yet he will not delight in it for long, for he only wins what has already belonged to him for a long time but not what strives towards God and what will therefore be seized by God and can never ever go astray again. But the will of God’s representative on earth receives strength at all times through the influx of light from above. And his will can no longer be weakened to the extent that he will forfeit the truth or not stand up for it. For he takes pleasure in his service and eagerly fulfils a task which God Himself commissioned him to do and which therefore is blessed by God. His blessing, however, signifies constant help, influx of strength and the continuous transmission of His Word which, as a constant source of strength, will also result in his soul’s maturity and will completely release him from the control of darkness and entirely exclude him from the influence of dark forces. And he will be full of strength and stand up for God and the eternal truth; he will be a capable labourer on earth in the vineyard of the Lord ….

Amen

From the kingdom of light you came forth and now walk in darkness, and that through your own fault …. God is the light from eternity, and thus He was the origin, and what came forth from Him had to be light again, for light radiates and spreads light …. And yet, that which came forth from Him sank into darkness, it lost its luminosity because it wanted to escape the original light, because it did not want to be nourished by the eternal original source of light and because it recognized itself as full of light and did not believe it needed an influx of light …. because it thought it was powerful compared to God, thus it exalted itself. It was not ignorance which caused the light-filled being to be arrogant towards God, for it possessed supreme knowledge and precisely this knowledge, because it encompassed everything, was the cause of its arrogance, and therefore its arrogance was a sin against God of utmost significance, for God’s living creations sought to belittle their creator, the highest and most perfect being, for they no longer acknowledged Him. They became sinful and fell into darkness, i.e. into a lightless state where they lost all recognition, all knowledge. God withdrew His strength of love from the created being which wanted to escape from Him, He took away from it what its arrogant thinking had caused …. the knowledge and thus the realization of what it was and what it should be …. Yet He also gave it the opportunity to attain realization again and return to its original state, because it is not in accordance with His love and wisdom to be eternally separated from that which was created by Him. It can free itself from the great sin of apostasy from God and thereby also return to the state of light again, but then it has to give up all arrogance, it has to strive towards God’s nearness, it has to enter His circle of light and love again and allow itself to be radiated through …. It must want to escape the darkness and desire light …. But you humans, who embody that which has fallen away from God, still walk in deepest darkness, for your will does not strive towards God and therefore you do not enter His circle of light either, and you are still far away from God …. you shun the light, and you remain without knowledge, without all realization. And yet, you are able to lift your distance from God in a short time, to bridge a gulf which you have created for yourselves, for God will assist you in every way with His love and grace in order to guide you to the original state which you voluntarily left. Yet you must also voluntarily try to attain it again, it cannot be returned to you against your will or you would remain imperfect for all eternity. But if you have the will to return to the exit of light, if you strive towards the light yourselves, then it will also become yours, then you will enter the state of realization, you will become knowledgeable, i.e., you will regain the lost knowledge, and you will now give up all arrogance, you will approach God in humble love, and His infinite love, which He has never withdrawn from you, will receive you again and guide you towards your former purpose …. You may work in abundance of light and strength and will be inconceivably happy. You humans on earth, flee the darkness, seek the light, and where a faint glimmer of light shines, turn there and step into this light and it will become ever stronger until you are surrounded by the highest light …. Take this call seriously, for you will never feel at ease in darkness, for after your demise you will experience it as unspeakable torment, and only light will give you bliss, yet then it will be far more difficult for you to reach the light. Therefore, make use of the time on earth, strive for knowledge, strive towards God, the eternal light, and let Him place you in the state of knowledge again, approach the creator and father of eternity again in love and humility, and He will accept you and help you attain beatitude, which you can only find in unity with the original light from Whom you once originated ….

Amen

Pay attention to the announcements which point to the near end, for they are a special gift of grace, even though their content touches you terribly. The last words of admonition are a proof of God’s love Who still wants to help you shortly before the end so that you will be protected from spiritual ruin. And they will become ever louder, the admonitions will sound ever more urgent, for humanity is in greatest danger. Yet faith in the truth of the announcements is lacking and therefore they will not be taken seriously, the divine voice will not be recognized and the admonitions will fade away in people’s ears and leave no deeper impression. The seer and prophet are not respected, people’s attention is directed towards earthly goods, the care for the soul is omitted and divine love remains unrecognized; people are content with the world of appearances and do not strive for the spiritual world which alone is valuable and enduring. And God cannot express Himself more obviously than through the elements of nature …. for these are inaccessible to people’s will, consequently only a power Which is exceedingly powerful can subdue them. And this being will reveal itself when the hour has come, which has been set since eternity …. And God always and constantly points this out so that they will also get to know the giver by the truth of the manifestations and now submit themselves to Him. For many who have taken notice of these gifts will have great grace to remain alive, and these will have the evidence of truth and now eagerly stand up for it. And therefore these announcements shall be spread, they shall be made accessible to all who cross the path of the one Who received them from above, they shall be spoken of unabashedly, for this is why God reveals Himself through the voice of the spirit, so that His will is made known to people, and this is why He announces His plan of eternity to people, so that they will benefit from the knowledge …. so that they will work on themselves while there is still time. And time is short …. Believe this and live as if tomorrow is the last day for you. And don’t let God speak to you in vain, listen to His voice and believe that He Himself wants to admonish and warn you in love and concern for your souls. He does not want to let you experience the day unprepared when an inconceivably great natural disaster will take you by surprise and bring a change of life for you humans which you cannot imagine. He will express Himself, and everyone who is of good will will be able to recognize Him. Again and again He will make Himself heard and point you to that day which will be followed in a not too long time by the last end, the day of judgement and the complete downfall of everything on earth. And those who survive the day of natural disaster can speak of an extraordinary grace, for it will now be easy for them to believe because everything will come to pass as it is predicted. Therefore this event should be eagerly mentioned, the announcements should always be spread with the indication that there is not much time left, that the care for the souls is extremely important and that earthly things should remain unnoticed as far as possible because they are void, for all possessions will be taken away from people who cling to earthly things, so that they will recognize the worthlessness of matter and the will of God Who can give and take and does so as it is beneficial for the human being’s soul, which He wants to save from eternal ruin ….

Amen

Anyone who wants to receive Me, who wants to eat My flesh and drink My blood, must desire Me, not only according to the word but in his deepest heart, only then can I approach him and offer Him Myself in the form of My word, for I Myself am the word, the word is My flesh and My blood. Union with Me can therefore only take place when the human being feels love for Me and expresses this love through active neighbourly love. If the heart is filled with love, then it must also constantly renounce its love, and it now turns it towards fellow human beings who are in need of it. But through its love it draws Me Myself to itself and I reveal Myself to it, I communicate Myself to it by bringing Myself close to it in the word, so that it unites with Me by receiving it, and this is the spiritual communion …. which you humans should all make your aim, for you will derive inconceivable blessings from the connection with Me which the living word earns you …. For now you receive the knowledge of My will from Me Myself, and depending on the fulfilment of My will your knowledge will be deepened, because I Myself now reveal Myself to you, because I lift all veils which were previously spread over My reign and activity, over My plan of salvation from eternity. I guide you into this knowledge which makes you happy and makes you richly blessed people on earth, which enlightens you about your own destiny and which therefore remains as a spiritual treasure for you if you have to give up earthly life. I reveal Myself to you, I reveal all secrets to you, I come to you Myself and speak to you through My spirit …. And this can only happen through spiritual communion, through unity with Me through love …. Understand that I cannot unite with a human being other than through love, that love is therefore the first condition to receive Me Myself, to be able to enjoy My flesh and My blood, to receive My word so that it resonates in the heart …. For you can certainly read or hear My word, yet I can only dwell with you in the word Myself if you have fulfilled the conditions I set for a union with Me, which only allow the word to become My flesh and My blood …. so that you shape yourselves into love and I Myself can take abode in your hearts. Heartfelt desire for My word also expresses the desire for Me Myself and testifies to love for Me, and then I will truly not hesitate to comply with the desire and reveal Myself. But then the human being will also feel My presence, he will feel that I have united Myself with him, he will be inwardly gratified by the acceptance of My word, My flesh and My blood, he will be able to satisfy himself and draw strength, and he will mature in his soul. The union with Me must bring all this about, because I Myself can now work in the human being, because I can now fill his whole being with My strength, with light and with love …. because I can now constantly reveal Myself to him, because I can now speak to him through My spirit, so that I can guide you into all truth, as I have promised ….

Amen

You must be taught by the spirit within you or you will remain without knowledge. But it can only become active if you live a life of love …. And therefore My mission as a human being on earth initially consisted of conveying the divine teaching of love, for the human being’s compliance with it first had to change him such that it enabled the spirit within him to become active and only then were further spiritual instructions possible. However, at the time of My life on earth people had so much diverged from love that they had to be informed time and again and in ever greater detail of the consequences of their heartlessness and the commandment of love had to be constantly preached to them, and I was only able to initiate a few into profound knowledge. Yet it would not have been wise on My part to impart this knowledge to people in general, because without love it remains dead knowledge without result. And therefore it was My will that My disciples’ transcripts were preserved in such a form that they indeed lack profound knowledge but nevertheless contain the teaching of love, and anyone who follows it will also penetrate into deeper knowledge if he seriously desires it.

I Myself have certainly shared an abundance of knowledge on earth, yet I also knew My listeners’ hearts, I was aware of their degree of love, their will and their realisation of My Personality which made them accept the knowledge they were offered as the only truth. I also instructed My disciples and through pouring out My spirit after My ascension I enabled them to impart to their fellow human beings the same information they received through the spirit, and thus people who were brought the Gospel by My disciples were well taken care of, but since a life of love is always a prerequisite in order to understand profound spiritual knowledge and derive the blessing from it, the commandment of love was intended to be passed on to future generations and was therefore written down by My disciples on My instructions, so that it would be preserved as I had taught it on earth. And My way of life, which was meant to serve as an example to all people, was also a subject of the transcripts which, as My disciples’ legacy, were left to humanity but which are missing more profound knowledge because this is My will. For anyone who wants to draw the knowledge from the Scriptures, which indeed include My Word, but who is without love would not know what to do with it, because spiritual knowledge is the light which is only kindled through love, which can only burst into full radiance when the human being’s spirit awakens and then enlightens the person from within. Academically imparted knowledge is only valuable if it can be examined and assimilated in order to become intellectual property, but this is only ever possible with the spirit’s assistance, which therefore makes love indispensable.

What is therefore more understandable than that I Myself on earth as well as in the transcripts, which came about according to My will, only ever taught love and that the commandment of love must only ever be presented to people first and foremost? What is more understandable than that the human being cannot be admonished often enough to comply with this commandment in order to attain psychological maturity? All further knowledge is just the result of a life of love and will be imparted to each individual person as is beneficial to him. For as soon as his spirit has become active he can receive unlimited knowledge, since the degree of wisdom he wants is determined by himself, and then he will no longer need to accept it from books but it will be offered to him directly from the spiritual kingdom which, however, can only be understood by a person who has awakened the spirit within himself through complying with My commandment of love, which will never be comprehensible to those who live without love and try to gain their knowledge from books. This is just dead knowledge, only the spirit will give life …. only love will grant complete understanding ….

Amen

World affairs are determined by higher laws, even though human will plays a large part in it. The eternal Lawgiver Himself directs and rules everything and His eternal plan takes the consequences of human will into account. And thus the hatchet will apparently be buried but the fire is not yet extinguished, it continues to smoulder, only to suddenly flare into a mighty blaze with devastating effects.

And it will come to pass what was foretold by the voice of the spirit. A new chapter of life is dawning for humanity, and good for those who do not regard earthly life too highly, good for those who have recognised the world of appearances and are not its slaves; good for those who know the meaning and purpose of life, who have set themselves a higher goal than the mere fulfilment of worldly lusts and pleasures …. They will take up the struggle for existence which the ensuing time entails …. They will be and remain victorious.

Humanity will enter into a new phase, a difficult struggle will arise for the individual, he will have to endure severe worldly adversities and will spiritually survive the greatest battle, the final conflict of faith, which will precede the last days. This will irrevocably come to pass as it is told, because time has run out, and the spiritual low level dictates a halt. Judgment day will stop the development of all spiritual substance on earth in order to enable its continuation on the new earth.

Humanity will soon enter this last phase, and the well-informed, the spiritually knowledgeable person will recognise its beginning by the progress of world events. Because world events first have to take their course, the fire has to be aroused anew for hardship to reach its highest pitch in order to justify God’s intervention …. in order for God Himself to rebuke the fighters by seizing their weapons from their hands and causing an immense disaster to come upon all, so that all people will turn their eyes towards the nations where God has clearly spoken. Because He will identify Himself, He will speak a language which can be understood by everyone who wants to understand. He will also reveal Himself to the believers, He will be with people in spirit, He will be working with them and give strength to those who are full of faith. For they will need His presence, they will need His help, because the time of hardship will affect them too and the fight against all believers will intensify as the end draws near.

The last phase will only be of brief duration but it will be a great burden to people and only bearable with God’s help. Yet everyone who lives in and with God, who loves Him and keeps His commandments, will survive the battle because he will never be alone. He will sense God’s presence and always be able to draw strength from His Word, which He, in His love, will convey to the people so that they remain faithful to God and persevere to the end ….

Amen

You must be fully committed if you want to serve Me on earth. And this means that you should devote yourselves completely to your task, that you should use every opportunity and work for Me because it is necessary. Only spiritual work retains its value, only spiritual striving has eternal success, whereas all earthly activity is void with the moment of departure from earth. Earthly duties shall indeed be fulfilled but spiritual activity shall be placed before everything and accomplished first, otherwise earthly work will not be blessed either. And therefore My servants on earth will always receive help from above if they need it for the purpose of fulfilling spiritual and earthly tasks, and My servants can walk their earthly path carefree because I smooth out every uneven path where they are to walk; and if I give you this promise you can truly believe that your path will always be passable because I Myself walk with you wherever you direct your steps. But you must always lift your eyes to Me, you must not turn away from the world and withdraw from My guiding fatherly hand, for then you will easily get onto side paths which lead back to the world, and then you will hardly be able to accomplish the work for My kingdom. But you are necessary in the coming time, your task is of great urgency, it is important and cannot be postponed, and therefore I admonish you again and again to be eagerly active, and I will never stop admonishing you so that you will hear My voice again and again and comply with what I tell you to do. Your life will pass quickly, therefore don’t pay much attention to it, but the soul shall be cared for for eternity, and therefore you must think of it far more and therefore be spiritually exceedingly active, even if the body is thereby disadvantaged. If you seek Me at all times you will always win, if you seek the world you will lose. But the world offers you no compensation for what you lose, yet what I offer you is precious and cannot be replaced by anything. And hold on to it and don’t let it be taken away from you by not resisting the temptations …. Remain spiritually active and the tempter will not approach you, for the former ensures your connection with Me, which protects you from every danger of the soul, which makes you strong and able to do any work and thus to be successful labourers in My vineyard ….

Amen

The human being is prevented from recognizing the truth as long as he hands himself over to the forces which are the enemy of truth, i.e. it can be offered to him in purest form but he lacks the power of judgement, the understanding for its value, because the bad forces confuse his thoughts and thus he grants access to the thoughts which are imparted to him by those forces and which are erroneous. He could certainly defend himself against this mental influence if the desire for truth were very strong in him, but he also lacks this and accepts the thought material which contradicts truth all too willingly. Hence he will not recognize the truth as such either, because he also leads a bad way of life under the influence of bad forces, and from this it follows that the world is full of error, because the whole of humanity no longer lives according to God’s will, that the majority of people lack the ability to distinguish truth from error because they are under the influence of such spiritual forces which are themselves blind in spirit and therefore cannot convey truth. People’s mental activity corresponds to their will; if this is turned towards God then he will also live according to God’s will, then his spirit will also impart truth to him, because this is God’s share and he never hands out error or untruth, because then the human being is also in contact with all forces which are receivers of light and thus can only impart light. And light is truth, light originates from God, thus purest knowledge of divine origin. And no bad forces can approach a person who fulfils God’s will, they cannot mentally influence him, he will reject mental emanations which radiate around him like waves, he will not grant them access but open himself to the emanations which touch him from the kingdom of light and also always recognize these thoughts as truth, because at the same time the power of realization flows to him as a gift of grace from God, Whose will he fulfils. For God returns a thousandfold what the human being gives to Him …. and the fulfilment of divine will is the surrender of self-will. Thus he receives purest truth from God in the most diverse form …. through mentally conveyed spiritual knowledge, as spoken word or also as word conveyed through the mouth of man, yet originating from God. But it is always truth as soon as the human being makes an effort to fulfil God’s will. And the human being who distances himself from God through a loveless way of life which contradicts divine will will always walk in error. He will never be in possession of the truth, for he will not recognize it if it is offered to him or reject it because error seems more acceptable to him until he changes his way of life himself, until he submits himself to divine will ….

Amen

In the divine works of creation, the power from God condenses and becomes form. What the human eye beholds thus testifies both to God’s will to shape and to His omnipotence, which can bring everything to pass that God wills. Omnipotence and will, however, are governed by wisdom and crowned by love. Where love, wisdom and omnipotence are active, only highly perfect works of creation can come into being, i.e. they must reveal meaning and purpose, and their purpose must again correspond to God’s love and wisdom, it must be the perfecting of what is still imperfect …. The strength flowing from God constantly increases, it flows towards the smallest entities whirring in the universe, it impels them to unite until an infinite number of essential substances have been found, guided by God’s will, and are visible to the human eye as a new creation. All beingness is animated by a will which, although it can no longer determine itself, can nevertheless turn its direction towards or away from God. And the form into which the beingness is shaped by God’s will and power is accordingly. For God’s will and wisdom has set the attainment of perfection as the final aim for the beingness, the attainment of the state which results in union with God Himself. Through constant unification with equally mature spiritual beings God’s emanation of strength is also constantly utilized, for it is the stimulus according to which the entities seek and unite. The strength from God is love, and love will always awaken the desire for union, which is why the whole of creation can also be called God’s strength of love which has become form …. Its fundamental substance is love, just as it always testifies to God’s love to anyone who seriously reflects on the meaning and purpose of creation and awakens love in the human being again if he has recognized God as the eternal love through His works …. However, the human being can only recognize the purposefulness of creation in a certain state of maturity, namely when the divine strength of love can also flow into him, which then awakens the spiritual substance in him to life again, so that it likewise tries to establish unity with equally mature spiritual substances. But this union is then no longer achieved on earthly creations, but now the spiritual in the human being rises into pure spiritual spheres and establishes the connection with the inhabitants of these spheres. It is therefore, as it were, a circuit …. the strength emanating from God flows into the universe, animates innumerable entities, drives them to unite and thus condenses into form, into solid or slightly soluble matter, depending on the will to resist God, until the human being’s soul has formed itself through constant unification, which now shapes itself again through the supply of strength, depending on its willingness to receive, so that spiritual beings from the kingdom of light, from non-material creation, unite with it and draw it over into the spheres of light, so that it can now also find union with God through elevated striving, on earth or in the spiritual kingdom …. and now the strength which has gone out from Him has flowed back to Him again, multiplied within itself, because a constantly effective strength always generates new strength. This cycle unfolds according to divine fundamental law, always repeating itself within a specific period of time, and it is therefore an eternal process of creation, new forms will eternally emerge from God’s will to shape, since His love, wisdom and strength never ends, since His love constantly seeks to please, His wisdom knows the right ways to place the still imperfect into the state which signifies bliss, and since His strength has to develop, because strength is life and God, as eternal love Himself, has to be constantly active and thus manifests Himself in His works. How the process of upward development proceeds can only be understood by the human being whose spirit is awakened, who has already established the union of the slumbering spiritual spark in him with the eternal father-spirit or constantly strives to establish it, who consciously strives towards God and thereby also matures in knowledge. The creation and shaping of the divine creator has become comprehensible to him through His works, for God speaks to him through creation if he cannot be instructed directly through the voice of the spirit. And then the human being’s soul will also have emerged from its banished state, then it can certainly still dwell on earth according to its body but it can rise into spiritual spheres at any time, for once it has recognized God it will consciously strive towards Him and its stay on earth will not last much longer …. The spiritual in it returns to its origin from eternity, it unites with the luminous, it unites with God and will be indescribably blissful ….

Amen

A person’s complete redemption on this earth turns his departure into a state of utmost bliss, for his soul leaves the body without any pain or struggle and rises into the spiritual kingdom where it is received by countless beings of light and conveyed to its true home. This complete redemption, however, is the result of unselfish activity of love on earth, as a result of which the soul has completely purified itself and can now constantly receive light and strength, which secures its spiritual ascent. However, a person is rarely so permeated by love that he can be considered a candidate for childship to God; for in order to become a child of God with all the rights of a child as His rightful heirs, much suffering has to come upon people who strive but do not think seriously enough about their souls. Suffering must contribute to the complete purification of the soul if the soul wants to reach the highest aim. Then God will help it through excessive suffering that it can already get rid of it on earth if only it has given up all resistance towards God and changed to love. Suffering will never be condemnable because it can be remedied at any time, because it decreases to the same extent as the human being drives love in himself to the highest development. Suffering or love will always redeem, but love and suffering together will put the soul into the state that it can leave the earthly world completely filled with light and accept the father’s inheritance in heaven. For this reason you humans on earth should not grumble and complain if the father’s love imposes great suffering on you, if He gives you a cross to bear which weighs you down and seems too heavy, and thereby He wants to help you reach a higher aim. For only after the death of the body will you recognize the blessing of suffering and be grateful to God for this means which He used on you and which His love and wisdom recognized as a certain success for your souls, for you cannot measure on earth what it means to be able to enter the beyond as a child of God …. It is the most intimate union with God, the receipt of light and strength from the source, it is a state of utmost bliss, a state of creating and shaping at one’s own discretion, because the divine will also dwells in the children of God and they can constantly work with God and in His will without limitation and are inexpressibly blissful in their abundance of light and strength and now use it as their love for the unredeemed dictates …. They will be allowed to distribute and receive without restriction, and they will enjoy the bliss of God’s nearness and be eternally blessed ….

Amen

Spiritual realms are closed to people as long as they do not live their lives in accordance with God’s will, for a limit of knowledge is set where the natural intellect alone works without inner impetus which, starting from the heart, is only meant to enliven the intellect. But spiritual knowledge can be acquired, the limits can be exceeded on a path where the human being’s intellect need not be active, and he will receive thought material which can by no means be called insignificant, for it concerns knowledge which, although it cannot be proven, nevertheless reveals profoundest wisdom and can also be logically substantiated. It concerns spiritual areas which therefore cannot be fathomed with the intellect because they lie outside of human knowledge, and it must therefore also be imparted to people from the spiritual kingdom. This can only happen through the transmission of thoughts which, however, first touch the heart before they can be processed by the intellect. But the heart is only able and willing to receive when it has shaped itself into love, otherwise it is not a receiving station for the spiritual emanations and thus a transmission from the spiritual kingdom cannot take place. Spiritual knowledge, however, is so extensive that the human being with an open heart could be constantly instructed without exhausting the source, and unmeasured he could receive wisdom. But then his intellect must also be active if he wants to hold on to the spiritual knowledge he has received and, so to speak, first let it become his spiritual property. And only then will it make him happy, for as long as the human being stays on earth his body and with it the organs must also carry out the activities which are their task, and thus the intellect must grasp and process what the heart receives from the spiritual kingdom, and he will have extensive knowledge to process and now also be able to pass it on. But anyone who only uses his intellect, whose heart closes itself to spiritual currents, will also only receive impressions from the earthly kingdom and will not have knowledge which concerns spiritual areas. Its knowledge will be little, although it will be acknowledged by fellow human beings, for it will be completely extinguished when the hour of the physical end has come, whereas spiritual knowledge is everlasting, it will be taken over into the spiritual kingdom and signifies wealth for the soul with which it can now work in the beyond for its own happiness. For it is now to distribute knowledge and can only do so if it possesses such. In contrast, the soul of the one who on earth, devoid of all love, only let his intellect become active and with it alone wanted to penetrate spiritual knowledge, stands poor and ignorant in the beyond. For limits are set for him which he cannot transcend until he has changed himself into love ….

Amen

Spiritual knowledge must also be acquired, it does not come to the human being without his will and activity, even though it is an obvious gift of grace. But the offering of this gift of grace presupposes a way of life according to God’s will and the will to let God’s grace become effective in oneself. The human being must consciously enter into contact with God through prayer and unconsciously through loving activity, he must surrender himself in prayer to the father of eternity, he must give up his own will and completely submit to God’s will, thus give himself to Him. Then God will take hold of him and shower him with abundant grace. It is an act of free will when the human being establishes contact with Him, but it results in inconceivable blessings. The will is in no way forced to move in a certain direction, the human being can use it in completely different ways; but if he completely relinquishes his own will, if he only allows God to rule and if he humbly accepts everything from God’s hand, then he will truly not come to any harm, God will provide him with abundant spiritual gifts which will not lose their value, with light and with strength …. with knowledge which outweighs all earthly knowledge. But a person will never be able to receive this knowledge if he does nothing himself in order to partake of God’s grace. He will ask God for what he desires in the firm belief that his request will be granted. But he cannot be given a precious gift if he does not establish contact with Him in prayer. But this is only possible if he believes in Him as love, strength and wisdom …. and he can only gain convinced faith by thinking about the creator and the human being’s relationship to Him. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that people take a stand on such questions which require inner contemplation and spiritual research. Thoughtless acceptance of teachings which touch spiritual areas must always be an obstacle, a barrier which excludes the transmission of extraordinary gifts of grace. The human heart remains closed, the vessel in which God’s spirit would like to pour itself out does not open, because the human being does not desire anything he already believes to possess. He creates an obstacle for himself through supposed knowledge, he lacks the will to make use of God’s grant of grace, and thus he is thoughtful according to his will to receive, and if this is weak he can also only accept little knowledge, he will not increase in realization but remain in the same knowledge all the time ….

(26.3.1947) Thus it is certainly possible to speak of a gift of grace when spiritual knowledge is imparted to a person, however, he has requested this gift of grace of his own free will and also made himself worthy of it, and as soon as the freedom of the human will is utilized in such a way that the human being strives for increased maturity of soul, he will be granted grace upon grace, for God does not restrict it where the will exists to let grace become effective in itself. However, the human will is given complete freedom by God, it is neither urged to strive upwards nor downwards, nor is the direction of the will dependent on knowledge, for even a person who is poor in knowledge can want, and thoughts will come to him from every side, good and bad ones …. whatever he decides is entirely up to him. However, insofar as spiritual knowledge is imparted to him by human beings it should be so important to him that he mentally takes a stand on everything that should lead him towards God. As soon as faith teachings are imparted to him he should think about what God requires of the human being, and he should first make contact with Him himself, then he will also be grasped by God and guided into truth according to his desire. Thus the will must be present to come close to God and to walk the path which is shown by God, which is pleasing to Him. Anyone who strives for this will truly not remain ignorant, he will not be left in error, for his will has opened the door of the heart into which God’s grace can now flow unhindered. The degree of grace depends on the person’s will. If the will is strong and completely fills the person, then he will also be granted an extraordinary gift of grace which, on the other hand, also obliges him to pass on the knowledge he has received and to draw his fellow human beings’ attention to the fact that they, too, are walking the path which leads to knowledge. And if the recipient of extraordinary gifts of grace freely declares himself willing to use them for the blessing of his fellow human beings, he will also be provided with spiritual knowledge which extends into all areas which are otherwise closed to people. For it is God’s will to spread the truth, yet this can only happen under certain conditions which are always based on free will ….

Amen

The human being’s spiritual aim should be the attainment of childship to God, for he is given the opportunity to develop into a brightest being of light during his life on earth and to depart from earth in complete union with God. This is the becoming one with God, which Jesus Christ also achieved on earth and which all people can attain if they strive for it in all seriousness. It is not beyond a person’s strength, it only requires the strong will to live as Jesus Christ lived on earth, in unselfish love for one’s neighbour. Unselfish neighbourly love is what Jesus preached to people, and it is and remains the core of Christian teaching, it is the content of the gospel which His disciples were to spread in the world. But the effect of a Christian life of love is something incomparably glorious …. the human being has become a child of God, His heir, and he enters into all the rights of the father …. it can create and shape like Him and use its strength in supreme bliss, which it fulfils through the intimate union with God. There are certainly innumerable degrees of bliss, of light and strength; depending on the degree of maturity the souls are in a blissful state if they are only recipients of light and strength, thus once they have found entrance into the kingdom of light. But a child of God is infinitely more blissful, for it has reached the degree of perfection which allows closest proximity and connection with God. It no longer feels separated from Him, it feels one with Him and yet is aware of its individual existence, it still possesses its free will which, however, has completely aligned itself with God’s will, it is a blissful state of togetherness, a constant desire for and granting of God’s love, it is blissful harmony, unceasing blissful activity and perpetual striving upwards, for perfection has no limit, and constant striving also belongs to bliss because it is never unsuccessful. And the human being can already reach this highest degree of happiness on earth if he has the serious will. But only a few strive for it, only a few humbly accept the fate which is imposed on them in order to be able to mature in a short time. For despite eager activity of love the soul has to be purified through suffering if it wants to be able to receive the light in all its fullness …. It must struggle on earth and endure much suffering and deprivation, it must walk the path Jesus walked on earth, love and suffer, it must carry the cross until the end …. Then the soul will merge with God, it will become one with Him, it will be His child and remain so for all eternity ….

Amen
