It is God’s compensating justice that people who do evil to others are often punished by the same evil and still have to atone on earth for the sins they have committed. However, it is a grace again if they are given the opportunity to repent on earth and don’t have to take their guilt in all its severity into the kingdom of the beyond, where it is much more difficult to become free of guilt. On earth the punishment can let them recognize their wrongdoing, they can repent and thereby atone more easily, whereas in the beyond it is far more difficult to recognize and they can only become more and more hardened through torment. However, the human being does not always recognize his wrongdoing and repent of it, but at times he is even more intent on harming his fellow human being, even though he himself feels the effect of the evil will. But then he is hardened, and he takes his guilt with him into the kingdom beyond. This has to be said first in order to be able to understand why infinitely many people will have to bear great suffering in the last days, why they often receive no help from their fellow human beings in the most bitter adversity, for they too were uncaring towards their fellow human beings’ adversity at times when they could have helped if they had not lacked the will. And if they think of their sins and omissions and severely criticize themselves, if they now recognize themselves and repent of their wrongdoing, the punishment will also be bearable for them, and their guilt can already become smaller on earth, and then the time of adversity will also be a blessing for them, for it brought them grace, they can seriously consult with themselves, admit their wrongdoing to God and appeal to Him for forgiveness. And then the magnitude of the guilt will truly be reduced, for God is a lenient judge, and where He sees that the human being repents of his wrongdoing, He will lessen his punishment and forgive him. But without the admission of his guilt he cannot find forgiveness, because God is indeed a lenient but just judge ….

Amen

You have been granted knowledge for earthly life which is intended to compensate you for what you have to give up, for what you have to lose in order to become suitable labourers for Me who have no other will than to serve Me faithfully. It is no longer a long path you still have to travel, yet it is a path full of sacrifice and rich in suffering. And yet, you need not fear as long as you have the grace to receive My word, which will always impart strength to you in order to fight through the difficult battle of life. It is an incomparably more beautiful office to be active for Me than any earthly task can be for you, for success surpasses all earthly happiness and activity. Only you may not turn away from Me, you must always carry Me in your heart and you will also always be blessed by Me. Earthly you certainly don’t have to expect an easy fate, yet spiritually you will ascend all the more surely, spiritually you will reach a level which is close to the aim, and one day you will realize the love with which I have guided you and let you go through schools of purification so that you shall become blissfully happy. Always and constantly strengthen yourselves with My word, don’t let earthly failures and disappointments depress you, as My labourers always remain certain of My help and love, and it will not be withdrawn from you, it will always be granted to you if you need help. For your faith can banish much that worries you, your faith is able to transform suffering into peace and tranquillity. Yet always bear your cross in submission, for everything that comes upon you is determined by My wisdom and love and truly only for your good, even though you will go empty-handed on earth, yet in return you will exchange spiritual possessions, and these are incomparably more valuable and retain their eternal value. But earthly life passes and with it earthly happiness and earthly wealth. Join Me ever more firmly and it will truly not be to your detriment. And constantly accept My word which imparts rich knowledge to you, for you are rich in possession of this knowledge even though earthly everything has been taken from you. But the fact that I give to you meagrely has a deep spiritual reason, for I need you as labourers for My vineyard, and I know how to win faithful labourers who are only willing to serve Me. And I use all means because I need them in the last time before the end and because the end is not far off ….

Amen

The human determination of the time of the end is also inaccurate, as soon as it is calculated intellectually or given by people of unawakened spirit. However, if they announce the end in the near future, they come closer to the truth. But they can also still postpone the time of the end for a long time, and this would be a deception which has detrimental consequences for people’s souls. For anyone who does not expect the end shortly will also never seriously tackle the work of the soul, and this is the purpose of such announcements, that people strive to change and can only do so if they constantly work on themselves and keep the near end in mind. This is why God constantly points to the end but always leaves people in uncertainty about the time of the end. And even His servants, who are mentally in contact with Him, are not informed of the exact time, yet the firmer they stand in faith, the more they live in love, the more they will also know that they themselves are in the time of the end, for they pay attention to the appearances which God Himself announced to earthly people through His son Jesus Christ as a sign of the end. Even the man Jesus did not know the day and hour of the end, and His announcements were also to be applied in all times, so that His disciples also reckoned with the approaching end and the imminent return of Christ, which was connected with the end. His disciples were also of awakened spirit and could not determine the day and hour. And so no certain information can be given from a human point of view until the end, only the signs of the time can be taken into consideration and from them the near end can be concluded, which must one day irrevocably come because the divine word must be fulfilled. But serious strivers will also seriously consider the thoughts of the end of the world, the day of judgment and the fulfilment of all prophecies which point to it. And their eyes will also be opened so that they will recognize the signs of the end, and their thinking will be right …. They will know that they themselves live in the time, that they have to familiarize themselves with the thought in order to belong to those who have to live through a time of unspeakable hardship and distress because these precede the end. But Jesus has also given them a comforting assurance that He will shorten the days for the sake of the elect, so that they will become blessed. And therefore, if a person believes that the end time has come and that the last judgment is to be expected every day, he need not be anxious …. he will have the strength to endure everything as long as he strives towards God and belongs to His own …. But only then will he recognize the signs of the end time, otherwise he will never expect a near end because he does not believe. But the believers know what hour has struck …. they know that the end is near, as God has proclaimed in word and scripture ….

Amen

Anyone who counts himself a member of Christ’s church must also confess Him before the world if this is demanded of him. He must not deny Christ, he must stand up for Him and His teaching, and he himself must live according to His teaching, he must believe in the act of salvation and prove his affiliation to Him through a life of unselfish neighbourly love, and only then can he be called a true Christian, only then will he stand in living Christianity, which does not consist of belonging to a Christian church but in the right following of Jesus. And the true followers of His church will be severely attacked by the world, they will be persecuted and threatened into apostasy from the church of Christ. And then they will have to stand firm in the face of the world, then they will have to openly profess Him, even if they have to fear losing their physical life in the process. A death for Jesus Christ will awaken the soul to life for eternity. But anyone who makes concessions to the world, who does not have the courage to resist it, certainly provides for his earthly life but he sells his soul, and what the world offers him is worthless for eternity. And therefore the choice should be easy for the human being in view of the approaching end, which will bring a destruction of all matter; and then the human being will surrender everything who lives in and for Christ …. No threat of the world will frighten him or move him to make a wrong decision before God, he will be courageous and brave in the face of all accusations of the world, and then Jesus’ promise will also come true: “Whoever confesses Me before the world, him will I also confess before My father ….” Man will gain the affection of eternal love according to His promise. Then He Himself will come to people and bring them the gospel, He will take abode in the hearts of His own and they will be allowed to receive the greatest reward …. God Himself will be in the human being and provide him with the richest knowledge, He will be with him in the word until the end ….

Amen

Even in the state of imperfection before its embodiment as a human being the spiritual being has a will, only that it is unfree, that it turns away from Me and towards My adversary, so to speak, but that the spiritual being cannot strive towards the adversary but is pulled up by Me, thus it has to forcibly insert itself into My order of eternity and thus the distance from Me is reduced. But the beingness can also be completely without will, i.e. neither strive towards Me nor My adversary, then it is now also without resistance towards Me, and this state is sufficient to provide it with easier conditions of development. Giving up resistance therefore means that My adversary has been eliminated for the time being, that the being no longer pushes towards him, thus its will no longer seeks this direction. Then it no longer resists Me either, and it can now be touched by My strength, which has such an effect that the will now stirs to unite with the strength after all. But the being itself is not aware of its will since it dwells in profound ignorance, thus a state of spiritual blindness and darkness envelops the being until its development has already progressed and it slowly becomes aware of its will. But even then it is unable to use its will correctly, it is still determined to be active by My will, i.e., the being cannot use the strength it receives from Me for the purpose of ascent development other than in accordance with the law of order until it reaches the final stage of its development on earth, until it embodies itself as a human being and the free will it once possessed but misused is now given back to it again. To a certain extent it has now given up its resistance against Me, even if it is not yet aware of it. But otherwise it would never receive the grace of embodiment as a human being, it would not be admitted to the last test of earthly life if it had not given up its resistance against Me insofar as it no longer strives towards the adversary. If I pull it up during the endless long path through the whole of creation in bound will, it must, however, then continue the path upwards in free will, otherwise it can very easily fall back into the previous state where it turns towards My adversary again and is then immediately seized by him and pulled down into the abyss. As a human being the being is then no longer without responsibility, whereas in the state of bound will it is deprived of responsibility, it can only remain in resistance against Me for eternities if, deprived of all strength, it does not desire any grant of strength from Me. For then the being is sensitively in an unhappy state, and every grant of strength improves this state. But if the being resists the supply of strength by not wanting to undergo any activity but remains inactive for eternities in defence of the strength from Me, it will also remain in resistance to Me, and it cannot be helped until it no longer offers resistance but accepts the strength flowing to it from Me and becomes active, even if it has to do so. But every activity is redeeming and leads upwards. Every influx of strength is love for the imperfect, and every acceptance of strength means giving up resistance against Me and must lead to redemption, even if the being itself has no merit in the beginning but carries out the activity under a certain compulsion. Nevertheless, activity means life, and life means the giving of My strength. If the being now receives this strength from Me to an increased degree, then its resistance will have become smaller and smaller until it completely submits to My will, thus it would also carry out the same activity if this were dependent on the being’s free will. But it will only be admitted to the test of its will in the stage as a human being, and then it can consciously use its will, and if it uses it in the right direction it will redeem itself completely while it lives on earth ….

Amen

It is all too obvious that the process of a complete dissolution on earth is preparing itself, for the destructions caused by human will are already the prelude; they are the first signs, for the world has not yet experienced works of destruction on such a scale and therefore they should make every individual think. A time of earthly adversity has arisen from it which affects almost every person, so that every person can also draw the conclusion from it which is that the time has come which was mentioned in word and scripture from the beginning of the redemption era. Whoever looks around also sees the spiritual decay of humanity, which inevitably leads to a total dissolution. It could certainly still be postponed through God’s great love and mercy, but the adversity of the time demands that the development of the spiritual be interrupted, otherwise the eternal deity would not be acknowledged, but rather completely displaced from the sphere of human thought. And this means an immense regression for the spiritual already embodied in the last stage, which God therefore wants to stop and therefore releases all spiritual bound in matter so that it can decide anew for God or against Him. The fact that so much spiritual matter is illegally released before the complete dissolution by God’s will, as the work of men or brought to execution by human will, however, conspicuously points to the last great dissolution. Human will is indeed indirectly the cause again, for it is directed against God, which is why it is bound again and this causes the dissolution of all works of creation. And God pronounces His judgement according to law and justice …. He draws to Himself those who carry His will within themselves, who submit themselves to Him. And He binds people who are completely distant from Him in the creations of the new earth, He helps the still immature spiritual to higher development, He loosens that which is bound in hard matter and gives every spiritual increased opportunity to develop upwards. It will mean an interruption of development for the entire spiritual on earth and likewise a renewed ascent, because nothing is eternally condemned but always has the opportunity to approach God again if it has distanced itself too far from Him. But in a spiritual low, as it is to be recognized in the forthcoming time, a total dissolution of the works of creation is of urgent necessity and greatest benefit, only it has to come forth from God Himself, and His will has to be expressed so that God will be recognized as the originator of such a dissolution. What precedes destructions of all kinds is not caused by divine will but is nevertheless permitted by God, so that people themselves recognize the wrong thinking and actions, so that they are free in their thinking and actions and let their will become active in one direction. His will now initiates the last work of destruction, after He has made Himself known once again, after He has revealed Himself to humanity through nature …. This will already be a work of destruction of unusual magnitude but it will still be surpassed by the last total work of dissolution which will soon follow. For the inhabitants of earth have forfeited the right to a long, peaceful earthly life because they do not use it according to God’s will, and thus a transformation of the works created by Him will take place, and everything spiritual will be embodied again in a new form after the dissolution of the old and creation of a new earth, according to its state of maturity. For God is infinitely loving, supremely wise and omnipotent …. and His will is to make all His creatures blissfully happy, and His wisdom finds the right ways ….

Amen

No person should ignore a divine revelation for it is an invaluable source of grace; where God is expressing Himself He intends to help people advance in their development and wants to guide them onto the right path because they have gone astray; and God only reveals Himself in times of spiritual adversity when people are at risk of falling away from Him or are entertaining the wrong thoughts. In that case He tries to convey the truth to them, and the truth can only be conveyed to earth by God Himself.

Indeed, is there anything more powerful than to be directly taught by God Himself? Is there anything more delectable than to be nourished by Him directly with food for the soul which provides strength in abundance? Can there be, in fact, a substitute which even remotely would have the same effect? Is the Word of God not the most precious gift of grace which a human being on earth can receive?

His Word, the direct emanation of Himself, can be heard by a person and passed on to other people so that they can likewise come into possession of this precious gift of grace. Since God Himself speaks to people they should also have a greater impetus to comply with His Word, it should motivate the will to become active, just as the human being’s will should, in fact, be urged by the Word into the right direction. Yet this will only ever be the case if people believe that the Word comes from above, that it is a direct communication of divine truth, for only this belief will encourage the human being to live a way of life which corresponds to the Word. And this belief can be gained by a person if he seriously examines it and appeals to God to enlighten his thinking. Then he will indeed feel in his heart what gift of grace he is receiving ….

Then the possession of the divine Word will make him very happy, then he will never again want to miss it and will always allow himself to be nourished with the bread of heaven by God Himself, with the nourishment which guarantees the soul’s life and which therefore is so extremely valuable and delectable. You shall hunger for it, then you will also experience the strength flowing to you by accepting the heavenly manna, and you will never again want to be without it, since such a valuable gift of grace cannot be replaced by anything else on earth. Your desire for it will grow ever stronger and also lead you to God without fail, for God is Truth, and God is the Word of eternity ….

Amen

Anyone who does not listen to Me deprives himself of the greatest grace, and one day he will regret it when he has come to realize what My revelation means for the human being. I Myself descend to earth and incline towards My creatures who do not make the slightest attempt to come close to Me. I speak to them as a father speaks to his children …. words of love …. and seek to win their hearts and make My children blissfully happy by instructing them and introducing them to the eternal truth. I offer them spiritual wealth, a treasure which is indestructible and which you can also only receive from Me, for which there is also no substitute, neither on earth nor in the beyond, and which secures eternal life for you. I make provision for eternity so that it will be blissful for you, so that you will live and not fall prey to spiritual death …. And therefore I Myself come to you in the word because I want to make you blissful creatures …. And you do not receive Me …. You let Me knock in vain, and you don’t open the door of your heart to Me, which I want to possess because I love you. And one day you will realize what a precious gift of grace you left unnoticed, and the remorse will be great …. Yet I cannot order you to accept My word, for you are of your own free will and have to decide for yourselves, and I also have to offer you the most precious gift, My word, in such a way that you are not forced to accept it. And therefore I have to convey it to you in such a way that you can certainly believe the divine origin but not prove it, for proof of it would be compulsory faith, which I will never use if you are to attain the degree of perfection. Yet it will be easy for you to believe that the word originates from Me, Who is the word Myself from eternity. For My word only teaches love, and anyone who seriously examines it will only recognize love in it and the divine origin will be undoubted to him, for love always demonstrates divinity, because love and I are one. But anyone who rejects without examining has no desire for Me, for truth, for love, for grace and for eternal life. And he will have to answer for it himself that he did not listen to Me …. and he will also prepare himself little for eternity. He will live without thoughts as to how his life should be shaped after the death of his body, he will only pay attention to his earthly life, and he will not hear My voice because he will let it be drowned out by the voice of the world. And the end will come, the day when everything will be cleared away and only those will be saved who have become My own, who accept My word and live accordingly and thus have a rich treasure of grace at their disposal which will make them blissfully happy in the spiritual kingdom …. in eternity ….

Amen

The human being shall become blessed through his faith …. But what is faith? When can a human being rightly claim that he believes? If spiritual doctrines are presented to him he will never be able to demand or produce the evidence for them, for spiritual matters are beyond his intellectual activity and can never be verified. Hence the human being, if he believes, must deem something to be true which cannot be proven. And yet, if he wants to become blessed, more is expected of him than blind faith, which consists of the fact that the human being will not argue against it, that he thus seemingly accepts the doctrines he is offered …. It is demanded of him that he unreservedly affirms it inwardly, that he accepts a teaching because he is inwardly convinced of it even without proof. This inner conviction, however, will always be the product of mental activity, the forming of an opinion about that which he is expected to believe. And this forming of opinion must be initiated by him without external coercion, a doctrine must, in a manner of speaking, keep him occupied, he must consider the pros and cons, until he has finally reached a point of view, but then he will also be able to uphold it if a statement is requested of him. The religious doctrine needs to be thought through before it can become actual mental knowledge, otherwise one has to speak of mere blind faith, which is completely worthless before God. The result of his deliberation depends on his will for truth and his desire for God, which unconsciously also impels him into action of love. God will truly not leave a serious seeker of truth in error if through his conduct in life he makes himself worthy of receiving the truth. However, since error is spread all over the world, since the prince of lies tries to spread darkness everywhere and would like to extinguish all light, it is understandable that erroneous belief has become established among the human race, since God respects every person’s free will and even His sacred Word, which guarantees purest truth, is at the mercy of people’s free will; consequently, it must also be left up to the human being’s will to believe or not to believe, if he scrutinises the individual doctrines and forms an opinion about them ….

But in order to be convinced of the latter it is imperative that he scrutinises them, i.e., he must spend thought on them, and if his desire is serious and he fulfils the conditions set by God in order to bestow spiritual knowledge he will become intellectually enlightened, and it will be clear and plausible to him what his heart affirms. And then he can also convincingly say without proof: I believe …. How else would it be possible to recognise misguided teaching, and how could God demand accountability from people if it were His will that people should exclude mental activity and replace it with unconditional blind faith? In that case people would not be responsible apart from the few who try to spread this teaching and want to prevent all opposition by demanding blind faith. Yet this is not God’s will, after all, the psychological work only starts after the mental activity which, in the former case, usually remains ignored. Only mental activity establishes the connection with the spiritual kingdom, then the beings of light will be able to step into action and start their actual work of teaching, this, however, is impossible if the human being believes blindly. And he will assuredly come to a satisfactory conclusion if he is serious regarding the true knowledge, regarding his opinion about God and about his soul. For God will not leave those in darkness who seek the light, and a person will always find the mental conclusion satisfactory if he gained it after faithful prayer to God Who alone can enlighten him as to whether and when he thinks correctly. If you believe in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence then it will fully suffice to gain a convinced faith through teachings which originated from God as well as to recognise human additions and to what extent they correspond to the truth. For God, the eternal Truth, will always help the person and straighten his thinking, He will give him power of judgment if only he is willing to recognise what is right and to stand up for what he recognises as truth towards his fellow human beings …. for it is God’s will that the truth shall be spread, because only truth leads to ascent and blissful happiness ….

Amen

Your thoughts will be guided correctly if you want to serve Me and remain in constant contact with Me through your prayer and active neighbourly love. And thus you need not fear that your thoughts, feelings and intentions will move in a direction other than that which is pleasing to Me, providing you strive to gain My pleasure. For then you are of good will and have given up all resistance against Me, then you are already Mine through your will. And I will always protect My own from erroneous thinking and also not allow them to spread error through speech or also through silence when speech is necessary. I make use of My servants on earth in order to influence their fellow human beings, in order to reproach them for their mistakes in a purely human way, or also in order to direct their thoughts such that they enter into My will of their own accord, that they turn inwards and work on themselves in order to attain a higher maturity of soul. And it is always possible for Me to send My servants to those who need spiritual help, yet I will always do so in a way which does not appear extraordinary so as not to exert any compulsion of faith on people. And thus any conversations can be held, they will cause people to think and can also be of good effect if the human being is serious about his ascent development. And thus My servants will only speak and act in accordance with My will, and their thinking will be ordered by the spirit within themselves, which is My share, thus he will have to think and speak as is beneficial for his fellow human being, even though he wants to attach human weaknesses and erroneous thinking to the one commissioned by Me. I know whose spiritual help is needed and do not arbitrarily bring people together but only for the purpose that they shall complement and instruct each other. And even if it seems as if one person is subordinate in his teaching activity, even if it seems as if he speaks from himself and merely represents his own opinion …. he is in My service and only carries out what I tell him to do, for I also use the most natural means so that the human being will reach his aim …. as high as possible degree of maturity of the soul as long as he dwells on earth. For I speak through the mouth of a human being to all those who need My word, which I can also offer them in the most human way if it is necessary to respect free will and yet influence people who still lack the right understanding ….

Amen

Only a strong will is able to assert itself when it is necessary to carry out a mission for the kingdom of God and is opposed from all sides. Then the weak person will slacken in his activity, whereas a strong will does not let itself be deterred and pursues and achieves its aim straightforwardly. Every activity for the kingdom of God will incur the opposition of God’s adversary, and his endeavour will constantly be to prevent the activity for God or make it impossible. And thus a servant of God will constantly be confronted by opponents amongst his fellow human beings who try to convince him of the uselessness of his work for the kingdom of God in order to stifle the impulse for eager activity in him. These are the people who are strongly influenced by God’s adversary and listen to his mental whisperings. But God’s adversary is an enemy of truth, and therefore he will always fight the truth, he will ensure that God’s servants are constantly harassed by fellow human beings, that they portray spiritual work as unimportant and also cast doubts into the hearts of those representatives of divine teaching. He will be at work wherever there is the possibility of winning souls for the kingdom of God, and only where the servant of God has a strong will to oppose him, where he does not allow himself to be distracted by opposition of any kind, that is where success will also be recorded. Then he will not let up, and his bond with God will also strengthen his will to work for Him. God’s adversary works with cunning and force, and where he does not achieve anything with God’s representative due to doubts he tries to prevent people from accepting the divine word, he tries to steer them into a different channel so that they ignore the precious gift or turn away from Him. But he constantly scatters weeds among the divine seeds, he tries to undermine and suppress the truth through false teachings. And again, the servant of God must offer him resistance by virtue of his will, he must use his spiritual knowledge and refute every objection if it is possible for him. He must not grow weary but keep the great spiritual adversity in mind which has moved God to obviously come to people’s aid and now be a faithful servant to Him who eagerly works for his lord in order to fulfil His will. For the adversity is great, and a good labourer in the vineyard of the lord can accomplish much work, and he will also become victorious over the enemy of souls if only he appeals to God for strong will and for help in his own spiritual adversity ….

Amen

You so urgently need to receive My Word and yet hardly ever believe it …. You constantly allow yourselves to be beset by doubts as to whether My servants convey the truth to you. You reject that which seems unacceptable to you and which is nevertheless inevitable according to eternal decree. I introduce you, whose spirit is awakened, into My plan of Salvation so that you shall recognise the time of the end and can also draw your fellow human beings’ attention to the end. I indicate the signs to you and ever since the start of this period of Salvation have also predicted the consequences of the low spiritual level in order to give you the opportunity to prepare yourselves so that the end will be a blissful one for you.

Yet My announcements are not taken seriously, thus I keep revealing Myself time and again, and not just through the Word which comes forth from Me and testifies of Me, but I also want to be recognisable to those who won’t give credence to My Word, who do not let themselves be instructed through My servants on earth and who therefore also view my predictions with utter disbelief. I want to approach them in a different way, I want to reveal Myself to them as Lord of Creation Whom no human will can bear up against …. I want to confront them with the Power which human will cannot break or defeat …. I want to talk to them in a language which is loud and clear, I want to speak with a voice of thunder and the elements of nature will obey Me and testify to Me. And this will be the last Word of admonition I speak in order to then let events take their course until the end. And this last expression of My might and strength will be a blessing for all of humanity, yet it will only be effective for a small number of people, since anyone who does not acknowledge Me will see nothing unusual in the huge natural disaster but merely look at it as an act of nature even if he agrees that he has no control over this act. And yet, I will not deviate from My plan of eternity and will continue to announce time and again that I will reveal Myself through a natural disaster of an extent which the world has never before experienced. Why will I do this?

Time is pressing towards the end, people live life half-heartedly and are lethargic …. they don’t realise the gravity of the time and shall therefore be woken up, I Myself want to approach them, for in their acute physical distress when they are facing death the thought of the Creator will nevertheless arise and a few will still find and take the path to Me …. And for the sake of these few what is proclaimed in Word and Scripture will be fulfilled. Countless people will indeed lose their lives and enter the kingdom of the beyond in an imperfect state, yet I will be a merciful Judge to them and value the last sacrifice they offer Me with their early death by providing them with the greatest opportunities to achieve maturity in the spiritual kingdom and granting them support in every way. Nevertheless, I will speak through nature without fail, and all of you will bear witness to it and be able to convince yourselves of the truth of My Word which comes pure and plain from above, because it is My will that you shall not experience something so powerful that it would have to shock everyone’s way of thinking if they just have a little faith in a Creator and Preserver of heaven and earth. But anyone who is united with Me should not doubt My Word, for I express Myself through My servants on earth and want My Word to be passed on and accepted as pure truth and all doubt to be banished from the hearts of My Own, because I Myself speak to you and will never allow My Word to be passed on interspersed with error to people of good will …. who want to be of service to Me and are therefore hired by Me as labourers in My vineyard during the last days before the end ….

Amen

You, who are to bring the gospel to people, you must firmly adhere to My word and unconditionally believe that I impart purest truth to you. For if I need servants on earth to pass on My word, which I offer to you from above, I choose such people for Myself who love the truth and therefore resist the evil forces through their will for truth, thus they are not subject to their influence. I want to train you to become teachers so that you can carry out your mission and teach your fellow human beings the truth. Thus you must first receive pure truth from Me if you are to pass it on. So what is more understandable than that I Myself protect My word from erroneous transmissions, that I surround My servants on earth with a protective wall of good beings which prevent the ignorant forces from interfering with My servant’s thoughts? The pure truth shall be spread and therefore I convey it from above, from the kingdom of light, down to earth, so that it can be offered unadulterated to those who desire it. And thus you can accept the announcements from above with complete faith as purest truth, for they originate from Me and it is My will that they be passed on because the time is drawing to a close. For I want to warn and admonish people of what is coming, I want to open up every possibility for them to prepare themselves because it will come suddenly and unexpectedly even for those who know. And therefore I announce to them that they will have to experience much adversity and tribulation …. I announce to them the spiritual battle they will get into shortly before the end, how they will have to withstand as My confessors if they want to become blessed. And I announce to them that I will still manifestly express Myself beforehand in order to still win over people who are weak in faith or undecided as to which side they should turn to if their decision is demanded of them. This statement is the last admonition before the end, and countless people will lose their lives, yet My wisdom and love has decreed it since eternity because I foresaw the spiritual low humanity is in at the end and because I also know about the effectiveness of the means I use. Yet I don’t leave people unwarned and thus prepare them for it by announcing the coming event, which I have done through seers and prophets since the beginning of this redemptive era. And you humans shall believe My word and know that everything will come as I have proclaimed to you. You shall know that the day is very near and that it will bring an uproar on the whole earth, for it is too powerful and will result in severe consequences for people, where I will speak loudly and clearly and be audible to all …. I want to help those people gain faith in Me who live without faith, and I want to help those who are weak and indecisive to gain strength of faith, and therefore I announce My intervention which consists of an exceedingly great natural disaster whose consequences are incalculable. But it is the time of the end, and this will also irrevocably approach within the shortest period of time. And therefore I will not leave any means untried beforehand by which I can still win people for Myself, and I instruct My servants to eagerly mention it, which is proclaimed to them through My word and is the purest truth ….

Amen

The counter-current which touches My servants on earth from the kingdom of darkness is often able to cause strong mental upheavals. And yet, this is permitted by Me, for the human being is thereby driven to increased struggle and his soul detaches itself from the material world the easier the more it takes refuge in Me in prayer. This is a necessity, often not recognized by people as being beneficial, as painful as a medical intervention but which can preserve life. I certainly take care of My own physically but each person has to take care of his soul himself, and so that he will not tire in his work I will let tests come over him which, so to speak, force him to become active and yet only testify to My love, for the soul already achieves a higher degree of maturity on earth if it is turned towards Me in every trial and takes refuge in Me. My adversary certainly likewise wrestles for this soul and tries to make it fall away, he tries to tempt it with earthly fulfilments, he also has the strength to grant earthly fulfilment which is then applied when the soul gives up on Me, when the desire for earthly happiness and well-being predominates and the world appears more appealing to the human being than the devotion of My love and grace, which the human being purely physically does not feel. And thus the human being can certainly obtain earthly happiness but then he sells his soul for it …. But I no longer let My own go from Me, I keep them so that they will no longer get lost to Me, and I give them what I have promised, the peace which the world cannot give them …. if only they resist the temptation, if I am more to them than the world …. and My own will never ever want to give Me up either, because the strength of My love has already become effective in them and worldly pleasures cannot give them a substitute for it. Therefore, whatever suffering and affliction earthly life still brings …. accept it as wanted or permitted by Me and know that it is only for your own good, that it is only intended to increase your soul’s maturity. Don’t complain and grumble but be happy in the certainty that you nevertheless possess My love, which would be an irreplaceable loss if you lost it, for this means darkness for eternity. But thus you will stand in the light, you will be exceedingly happy, permeated by My love, once you have ended earthly life …. you will find constant fulfilment of your longing …. your soul will live for eternity and it will never ever need to live in want because My love will grant it everything to make it happy …. love, light and strength …. For no eye has ever seen and no ear ever heard what I have prepared for those who love Me ….

Amen

Grace flows to you in abundance …. for grace is the whole of earthly life for you, grace is all suffering that comes upon you, and grace is that you are constantly guided by Me until the end of your life …. Your whole life is an uninterrupted grace in its individual experiences for you, for nothing approaches you arbitrarily but everything is imposed on you by Me in foresight of your will, as it is helpful for your spiritual development. Therefore it is also a grace if you are granted an exceptionally difficult earthly life, for then you also have the opportunity to mature exceptionally. But the greatest grace is the attention of My word …. For My word is the most effective means of help, and it will certainly lead to the aim if you let it take effect in you. Everything that helps to change your soul, to turn your will towards Me and to let you strive spiritually is a grace. And thus you are surrounded by gifts of grace during your earthly life which you only need to use, i.e. open yourselves up to their effect, by only wanting your earthly progress to be successful for the soul, by thus recognizing Me and choosing Me as your aim. And then you will certainly reach your aim, for I will draw anyone who wants to come to Me and the ascent will be easy for him. He must not forget that he is in the abyss and has to strive upwards in order to reach Me, and that he therefore constantly needs My help, and every means I use to make it easy for him to climb up is a grace …. If you thus grasp the meaning of the word ‘grace’ then you will never need to fear that the aim is unreachable for you. Let yourselves be drawn by Me and just don’t resist Me, listen to My word, accept it in your hearts and comply with it, then you will fulfil My will, and then every grant of grace will also have an effect on you, your desire for Me will be intensified, your faith in Me will deepen and your love for Me will become more intimate, for this is the effect of My grace that you increasingly turn away from the world and unite with Me more deeply, for grace originates from Me and also leads back to Me again if the human being does not close himself off to its effect. But if My word is offered to you directly from above, a gift of grace is at your disposal whose value you cannot measure …. I speak to you Myself …. is there anything more powerful and effective than hearing Myself speak and being able to receive strength in abundance with the word? Can there still be any doubt that My word will surely lead to the aim? Is My word not the most telling proof that I draw the willing to Me? That I love you and want to lead you to eternal life? If you therefore have this certainty of possessing My love, if you feel My love for you through the acceptance of My word, can you then still doubt that My grace is available to you without measure, and can you then still be anxious whether you will reach your aim? You can receive My word at any time and in all places, directly or through My servants on earth, and if you make use of every opportunity to listen to Me and now make My will your own, you will always be in the midst of grace and safely reach your aim, your soul will mature on earth and you will be able to enter the light when judgment day has come for you ….

Amen

God will speak a clear language which should touch all people if only they would listen to it. Yet anyone who does not believe in God will not recognize Him either when He speaks to people from above loudly and audibly, and he will let the last call of admonition pass him by, he will only pay attention to it in a purely natural way and try to explain a process to himself which is immense because its dimensions exceed everything humanity has experienced so far. And he will also give himself an explanation because the thoughts for it will be fed to him by God’s adversary and he willingly accepts them. The mighty natural event will only be recognized as God’s voice by those who believe in Him, love Him and thus are in the knowledge of the time of the end, of people’s spiritual low and of the last admonition and warning signs announced long before by seers and prophets, for they see that everything will come to pass as foretold, and thus they also know that and why God expresses Himself through the elements of nature, and they hear Him and are not afraid because they belong to His own who enjoy His protection, as He has promised. Yet they will not find faith with their fellow human beings if they want to explain to them the meaning and purpose of the immense natural event and try to portray it as God’s will and His voice; they will laugh at the faith of those, they will persist in their unbelief, not accept any instructions and not derive the slightest benefit from it but heap sin upon sin and take action against those who hold on to their faith. Many people will indeed lose their lives, and this fact is one more reason for the unbelievers to deny God’s existence, because they are by no means able to recognize a loving and wise creator in Him or could not love a God Who acts against His creations in such a way that He takes their lives under the most dreadful circumstances without them wanting it themselves. But anyone who knows about God’s eternal plan of salvation is not surprised, for he recognizes the necessity of divine intervention for the salvation of the souls which are in danger of being lost. And the love of those will grow ever greater towards God and they will not let go of Him, despite the fact that they will have to lead a far more difficult life than the faithless, to whom everything their worldly senses strive for will be given to them by the prince of darkness. But those no longer demand anything from the world, for their eyes are directed towards the spiritual kingdom, they only desire spiritual goods, treasures which cannot be consumed by rust and moths, which are everlasting and therefore far more desirable than the goods of this world. And therefore they will also not feel the tribulations and hardships of the body to the extent they seem to …. For they are filled with spiritual strength through their faith and will therefore master every situation in life, and God will so obviously assist them that even the unbelievers will be taken aback and become thoughtful. And then the time will come when they, too, will be urged to repent and their will will be decisive as to whether they will experience the last end blissfully or unblissfully. God gives the last people countless opportunities but it is up to them whether and how they make use of these possibilities; He helps them in every way but His help is most clearly recognizable when He expresses Himself through the elements of nature, for as soon as people are able to recognize Him they will also strive towards Him and live according to His will. And then they will be saved for eternity, whereas unbelieving people will be lost for eternity, although God will also take pity on these people by ending time and thus depriving the worldly-directed souls of the opportunity to completely descend into darkness, and He will grant them a renewed earthly progress so that one day they will be able to decide again in a state of free will for God or His adversary …. for the light or the darkness ….

Amen

Everything that contributes to the attainment of maturity of soul is grace and thus a gift from God which you receive undeservedly. You must know that you humans, due to your distance from God, are in a state where you unconsciously reject God’s love, i.e. His emanation of strength, where you are, so to speak, outside the circuit of love and therefore His strength would not touch you if His greater-than-great love would not make an allowance to you despite your distance from Him; you must know that you would never reduce the distance from God by yourselves. And this attention is therefore an undeserved gift which God certainly offers to everyone but does not force anyone to accept it, but which only becomes effective if the human being is willing to accept it. Thus the human being’s soul can mature but it can also ignore the gift of grace and not achieve any spiritual progress. In that case, however, there is no means of perfection either, for then it lacks strength due to a lack of will. God constantly gives because He wants to help His living creations, yet as free independent beings they have free will and are never forced to accept the means of help offered to them, and thus free will is decisive. Consequently, the will is the first thing, although the human being’s whole life course can be called a chain of divine grants of grace, yet it is only successful when the human being wants it himself, only then does grace become effective and only then is it recognized as grace. However, the concept of grace is not yet clear to people insofar as they believe that God distributes it differently, that He gives to people at will so that they will also become blessed according to His will, i.e. that they can mature on earth or remain in their imperfection. For them the word of God means a gift from above which one receives while the other goes away empty-handed …. And this view is erroneous, for it gives a completely wrong idea of God’s love, which applies equally to all His creatures and excludes none from beatitude, thus it also offers everyone the same opportunity to become perfect. However, the human being can increase or decrease the abundance of grace himself, depending on his attitude towards God, his desire for God’s help and the opening of his heart to every supply of grace. He need only give himself completely to God, commend himself to Him and submit his will to God, and he will receive an unmeasured supply of grace which he will then also use according to God’s will. And the ascent upwards will no longer be difficult for him, for his devotion to God also assures him God’s guidance and support where his earthly path has cliffs and obstacles. And this is the surest sign that God is his guide when the human being is able to hear His voice, when God testifies to His love through His word, for this is the greatest grace a person can be offered on earth …. to be instructed by Him in His will, to receive knowledge from Him which is only offered through the inner voice and to be cared for by Him with a mission which requires a certain degree of maturity …. An extraordinary task also requires an extraordinary allocation of grace which, however, does not arbitrarily touch people from God but requires their will to be completely turned towards God. And thus people can certainly be recipients of grace differently in measure, but never be considered differently by God, but determine themselves the measure of grace they receive. Yet grace inevitably leads the human being to God, he can inevitably become eternally happy if he opens himself to divine grace, for a divine gift also contains strength, and the effect of this strength is spiritual perfection, alignment with God’s nature, shaping into love and thus unification with eternal love, which makes unspeakably blissful ….

Amen

In what wealth the eternal deity radiates His strength of love into infinity, can not be gauged by a man, as long as he is still on earth, because he only knows the him visible creations, which make up only a tiny part of the whole creation. But God sustains all creation by donation of His strength of love. Therefore countless works of creation are carriers of His strength, countless celestial bodies carry in them embodied beings, whose life is safed by inflows of His strength. And all these beings He gives Himself to recognize as creator and sustainer, as they stand in a certain level of maturity, that gives them strength of knowledge. Mostly they are beings of high intelligence, not to be compared with the people of this earth, who are probably at a lower stage of development, however can achieve the highest possible aim, the childship to God, which is not possible to gain on other creations. However in the knowledge they are more advanced than the people of this earth. They are led by spirit beings from the realm of light and set in high knowledge, they also have the ability, to use such information, and are mentally very active, because in them the concept of level symmetry is highly developed and they feel every unevenness as lack of maturity and see deficiency of value of the creatures. And they try to compensate this by transferring knowledge, given to them in a way, that it is recognized and accepted by them as of divine origin; so the beings are connected to God, Whom they recognize as supreme spirit of eternity, love and try to adapt to His will. Their way of life is also according the will of God so far, as he is not led in unkindness, but always brotherly love connect the beings among one another, who see their highest duty in it, to hand out those, who do not own, what blesses those. So they are also in a way in the light …. (04/20/1947) and nevertheless they are beings, who have to mature yet, who have to walk the path to perfection yet, because what they have, is not acquired by their own will-power, but given to them as a precursor to this free test of will, so they take another course of development than the people on this earth, whose soul substances had to develop up from the depths of their past apostasy from God. There are also original spiritual beings, who were not disloyal to God, but so far have not tested their will yet, than that they are presented all the charms of the enemy by God and they are expected to make this resistance. Only then a being has taken the path to the highest perfection, if it has passed this test on earth. Countless creations exist, countless maturity levels can be achieved by life on these creations, countless possibilities are opened up the spiritual beings, and all are schools of spirit, but different in their effectiveness and their conditions. And God’s creative will has no limits, and His thoughts lead continuously to action, to form, and His strength of love animates continuously these forms, which are only consolidated thoughts by His will. All beings of light creations are lucky, and yet the state of luck is different and limited, but suffering is only companion of the soul on earth and to a greater extent in beyond realms, where the souls dwell, who have not passed their test of earthly life, who failed in free will; while the beings of light stars God never seriously resisted and therefore suffering is kept from them, until they also take the path on the earth for passing the test of will, to achieve the highest degree of perfection. God’s love, light and power fulfill the whole infinity, and incomprehensible to humans are the versatilities of creations, the life of the residents and the development opportunities, that are offered to the spiritual, to be inexpressibly blessed …. The whole universe is filled with the power of God, the visible and the invisible world is product of His love will, it is created for maturing of the still imperfect spiritual and for the upward development of which, what got lost in the depth and has to return to God. But the earth has a special provision …. it offers the only possibility of its embodied spirit, to achieve the childship to God, the highest degree of perfection; and therefore also pure angelic spirits must go this way, to be children of God, which requires to pass a test of will, which can only be placed on earth. But than most blessed beings abide nearby God, which are perfect and can create and design in free will, which is also God’s will, using the power by God …. as it was primordial determination ….

Amen

That the time has now come to an end is demonstrated by the fact that My fighters can only be found here and there, people who are so engrossed in their love for Me, in their love for truth and for good, that they are no longer firmly attached to the world but remain in constant contact with Me, both mentally or through kind-hearted activity …. People who stand up for their faith and feel the need to win their fellow men’s souls over for My kingdom and My doctrine …. who therefore fight with the sword of their mouths …. who are constantly imbued by My spirit and in whom I Myself can therefore work. Not many of these will be found and wherever they stay, they walk along unnoticed or are treated with hostility. It is a certain sign of the end that My Own only form a small flock, but I Am a good shepherd Who keeps His lambs together, Who guards them well so that none will lose its way or be lost. Not one of My Own will be left out by Me, they will find each other and form a small community among each other and they will find their greatest satisfaction in the fact that I have accepted them into My service, that I entrust them with the mission of supporting Me during the last days before the end. Those who are good and true are My fighters, for good will and a desire for absolute truth characterises My fighters, who will indeed win the final battle because I will never leave those again who won’t leave Me but look upon Me as the loving Father Who will not let His children be harmed, even if they experience earthly adversity as a result of their steadfastness. Those who regard Me as their Father of eternity will also be looked after in a Fatherly way, once this time is over. They will stay in paradise as My true children, they will experience the blissful and peaceful time on the new earth, which will take the place of the final battle on the old earth, as has been intended for eternity. I will gather My Own on the Last Day, the few people who remained faithful to Me during the preceding time of battle, who recognised Me and therefore can never abandon Me again. And I will fetch them to Me, as I proclaimed. Consequently, you humans can expect the near end with certainty when you look around you and find only a few who so deeply carry Me in their heart that they constantly talk about Me, about spiritual subjects, for which their fellow human beings have little sympathy. But where I Am mentioned in conversations I Myself Am present, and I try to attract the souls who are distant from Me in order to slightly increase the number of My Own before the time has come which brings the final end …. the destruction of the old earth and finally the Judgment, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….

Amen

Those who belong to My church will find each other and form a close bond, and they will always want to know the truth, to live with love and to be of service to Me for time and eternity. For they carry My spirit within themselves, they have awakened the spiritual spark, which is My share, into life and thereby became a member of My church which I founded Myself. And I will bless them evermore. Anyone who knows the truth, that is, who is educated by My spirit within him, also knows that love and faith are the foundation of My church; he also knows how I want My Word to be understood ‘Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church …. ‘ He further knows that it is not to be understood as an organisation formed by people but that My church comprises all people who have established the right kind of relationship with Me as a result of their will and their love for Me and their neighbour. I only require people’s fulfilment of My commandment of love and strong faith and have promised eternal bliss, eternal life, to those who believe in Me …. but to believe in Me means to accept My teaching as being divine and to live accordingly …. And to them I promised eternal life. Consequently they must also belong to My church, to the community of believers whom I call My church. But does that mean that they require a worldly union which is established by joining an organisation which has a worldly origin? This question is of such great significance that it needs to be considered in-depth. No organisation exists which could boast to have been founded by Me, however, each one can fully and completely affiliate itself to the church founded by Me. Hence, their members would be able to consider themselves as belonging to My church if they shaped themselves into a rock of faith …. The character of My church first must prevail in an organisation, their followers must be imbued by profound faith in Me, then the worldly founded church will include My believers and they, in turn, can regard themselves in every organisation as aspirants of My kingdom, for they belong to My church which I Myself founded on earth. My Words have to be understood purely spiritually, i.e., they only contain the request for unshakeable faith, and on this alone depends the working of the spirit, which is the most certain characteristic of My church, for anyone who has true faith also has love, because true faith is only alive through activity of love. And the sign of life is the expression of My spirit in the human being. Anyone who thus is taught by My spirit, who is permeated by its truth, can rightfully claim to belong to My church, he belongs to My Own, and he will also stand up for My teaching with conviction, for he has absorbed it himself with heart and mind, it has fortified his belief and made him free and happy, and he is driven by love to want to give the same to his fellow human beings ….

However, a worldly-religious organisation is by no means necessary to first shape people into aspirants of the spiritual kingdom, for again, I only look at the person’s heart, his will and his thoughts. If they strive towards Me then he will already have found Me …. if they digress from pure spirituality then an ecclesiastical organisation will not achieve a change, for whatever takes place under compulsion is of no value before My eyes. But desire for Me can only be aroused in every person through the announcement of My Word. This is why I don’t condemn the worldly-religious organisations but support them insofar as that I support the teachers working in them where feasible, providing their life corresponds to My commandments at the same time. And if one of them belongs to the church founded by Me, so that he therefore firmly and steadfastly believes in My love, might and wisdom, then I will also permeate him with My spirit, enabling him to successfully influence the flock of his small congregation so that they, too, will desire the Word which alone makes it possible for them to mature fully. Nevertheless it is of far greater merit if the person struggles and searches of his own accord, if he pays attention to his inner voice which will always advise him of what is right and encourage him to be lovingly active. If he complies with this voice he will come closer to Me considerably earlier, he will have a living understanding of My Word, he accepts it in his heart and will also live accordingly …. he will belong in truth to the church of Christ, which is insurmountable and will stand firm against even the staunchest onslaughts still waged by infernal forces before the end. For I also gave people the promise that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, because My church is unchangeable and will continue to exist until the end …. It will also become the basis of all spiritual striving on the new earth. Everyone will belong to My church because only profoundly faithful people who love Me above all else will inhabit this new earth, whereas all others will fall away if they are mere members of worldly-religious organisations who are without inner life ….

Amen

The spirit of the Antichrist is such that he will approach people in the disguise of a saviour although his will utterly opposes God in as much as he does not acknowledge a God of love, just as he, in fact, will reject all spirituality as supernatural and therefore unverifiable, thus non-existent. Even the nature of Christ will be so unfamiliar to him that he will be unable to believe in His act of Salvation and His mission on earth, and thus he will try to portray Him as a mere figment of imagination, making every effort to displace this illusion from people’s hearts. His own nature is not the same as Christ’s, and therefore it is understandable that he will regard and fight Him as a spiritual enemy.

The forthcoming Antichrist’s personality will exceed the natural framework; he will be an extraordinarily gifted human being whose particular strength rests in his worldly self-confidence, in his conduct with those who are responsible for the well-being of the nation. And therefore he will be successful, he will be granted his aspired supreme control, it will be assumed that extensive reforms for the benefit of the general public can be expected through him. Everyone will accept him; he will exploit this superiority for all kinds of measures. But he will especially intervene against the supernatural spirit, against all religious groups as well as churches or spiritual movements which are based on Jesus Christ and His teaching, because he will depict neighbourly love as a state of weakness which has to be fought at all costs. And anyone who joins his endeavours is also regarded as an antichrist; he is considered God-opposing and will prove to be unkind to his neighbour and thus also live in spiritual blindness, since he belongs to Satan’s realm. But as ruler over many the Antichrist will cause tremendous chaos with his measures, which will be devoid of all human kindness and only designed to bring hatred and discord amongst humanity, to stifle love and to descend it into utmost spiritual hardship. And then God’s countermeasures will become of utmost importance, which will be explained by God’s obvious activity through His servants on earth, because He, too, has to be recognisable on earth to those who belong to His side. He has to manifest Himself equally extraordinarily so that He cannot be rejected but has to be acknowledged by people who are willing to walk the right path, who either consciously or unconsciously approach the Creator of heaven and earth by asking for His help in times of spiritual suffering. And then the struggle between good and evil will become particularly intense, since the last hour is moving ever closer and the parting of the spirits has to take place by Judgment Day ….

This separation can only occur when people are seriously confronted by the choice to either acknowledge or deny God. This question will force their decision and in order to bring it about, the adversary will emerge openly by influencing his representatives on earth to take and enforce measures which exhibit hostile thinking towards God. And thus the last battle on earth will begin …. the battle of faith, the battle against Christ, with the result that people will finally decide for or against Him. And then comes the Judgment …. because they will turn for or against God of their own free will, and this free will they have to answer for. This conflict is inevitable as it distinctly highlights the Antichrist’s nature, and all of humanity will then be able to assess the thoughts and actions of the one who appears in the disguise of a saviour in order to realise his shameful plans; who openly fights against God and therefore will be banished into the earth again for a long time, from where he cannot release himself until he is once again helped by people whose wrong love for matter will loosen Satan’s chains. But it will never be possible to displace Jesus Christ, He will remain victorious on Judgment Day, and His teaching will fill all hearts. His followers will take it along at their rapture, and thus it will also be held in high esteem as spiritual knowledge on the new earth, it will be exemplified and people will live in utmost realisation and become aglow with the most profound love for God. And God’s adversary will never be able to displace it because all power will have been taken from him for a long time ….

Amen

The last judgment will also come surprisingly quickly for My own, for although they know that the end is near they don’t reckon with the extremely short period of time humanity will still have until then. You humans are only granted a frighteningly short period of time on this earth, for the last phase has already begun and will not last long. And what is still happening now are already the harbingers, and every day shortens the period because the last day has been fixed for eternity. But you, who know about My plan, you must not get a wrong idea about the time that still remains for you until the end. For you must impress upon those whom you are to instruct the near end, and therefore you yourselves must firmly and undoubtedly believe that not much time remains for all of you. And thus I repeatedly give you indications that the time will shortly be up and that you yourselves will experience it, even though it still seems impossible to you now. Very quickly the events will follow each other which draw near the end, i.e., the spiritual low will soon be reached and evident to all who direct their gaze spiritually. And as I have spoken through the forces of nature, the final battle will also soon begin, the battle against Me, which will result in the binding of satan. And thus you, My believers, will know for certain that the last hour will soon have come when this final battle begins, but then your work for My kingdom will be most urgently needed, although you should already diligently work the fields of human hearts beforehand. For the last judgment will come sooner than you think …. And anyone who is still in doubt should let himself be instructed by Me that My word is truth and that I have always informed you of it, that I do not offer this word of Mine to people in a veiled form but that it is to be understood literally, because I want you, who want to serve Me, to be properly informed in order to be able to represent to your fellow human beings with conviction what you teach in My name. The time has expired and the day is irrevocably determined …. But I call out to you: Assume with certainty that you will experience the day yourselves and also proclaim to your fellow human beings that they will be witnesses of the mighty work of destruction at the end of this redemption period. And exhort them to a righteous way of life so that the last day will not be a judgement but a redemption for them ….

Amen

What you are able to hear through the inner voice is significant for soul and body and should therefore be heeded by both, i.e. the soul, the human being’s thinking, feeling and wanting, should be stimulated by it and the body should also be determined to comply with what the soul now thinks, feels and wants. Despite the soul’s idea, the body can still resist; even though the human being is inwardly convinced that he has to act differently, he can still do what is beneficial for the body but harmful for the soul, then the recognition of what is right is certainly present but the will is too weak to turn it into action. The will belongs to the soul, but the will is decisive for the actions of the body. If the will is now strong enough then it determines the body to actions which are beneficial for the soul, then the soul pulls the body into the spiritual kingdom, so to speak, it is no longer materially minded, i.e., earthly desires no longer have the upper hand, although the human being still lives on earth and again and again has to fight the battle with it. Yet the spirit in the human being pulls the soul mightily, and once it has succeeded by virtue of its will in restraining the body from its striving for the world, once it has succeeded in weakening bodily desire and making it inclined towards the soul, then the body will always distance itself more and more from the earthly, i.e. it will certainly still dwell in the old environment but its desire will only have become weaker and finally only apply to what the soul imparts to it. The body, too, will find satisfaction in dwelling in the spiritual kingdom, and the unification of the soul and the body with the spirit can now take place much more easily than before, when the soul still had to struggle with the body, i.e. when its will was still too weak to resist the comforts of the world and the striving for earthly good was predominant. Yet this battle has to go ahead, otherwise the spirit in the human being will not be able to make itself heard, otherwise the human being will not be able to hear the subtle voice of the spirit either …. And therefore the urgent admonition constantly goes out to you humans: Disregard the worldly as much as possible, draw from the source of life, let the spirit within you speak, which is able to give you far more than the world can offer you in pleasures and enjoyments. Direct all your thoughts, feelings and intentions towards the spiritual kingdom as often as you are able to do so, also carry out earthly activities with your eyes directed upwards, let your thoughts often wander upwards, call upon God and commend yourselves to His love and grace …. And your striving will become increasingly more spiritual, earthly things will only touch you as far as it is absolutely necessary for the preservation of the body, and your soul will mature in knowledge, it will become full of light in you and a heavenly peace will enter your heart, for you have overcome the world ….

Amen

Even matter, which appears lifeless in itself, carries life within itself and must therefore be recognized as a bearer of spiritual substances, even though it is incomprehensible to you that something spiritual has been assigned the hardest matter to stay in, in which it seemingly cannot develop, thus it is to a certain extent forced into inactivity. But God knows about the will of this beingness and has given it the envelopment accordingly. But as long as the will of the spiritual is opposed to God it is also not willing to carry out an activity according to God’s will, therefore the possibility is also denied to it to be active in service. But activity means life, an inactive being will therefore remain in a dead state, and therefore its cover, matter, will remain unchanged for an infinitely long time. And yet it is inhabited by something being-like, which feels a hard outer form as constant pressure, as fetter, to now be driven to give up its resistance, so that it gets relief from its agonizing state. Matter itself is likewise spiritual, which is God-resisting, which therefore only begins its course of development. But this spiritual can also only redeem itself through service, and its service consists of being a cover for the already more mature spiritual, which enables it to serve. Thus, through its willingness to help the spiritual in its ascent development, it can mature itself and slowly gain the degree which also earns it a cover and in which it is permitted to be of service. But the process of development takes a long time, so that matter itself needs a long time before it is completely dissolved and one can speak of overcoming it. But the course of development must now be continued, and this until many spiritual entities have united and this is expressed through ever more perfect and greater forms. As long as the spiritual entities have so-called dead matter as their abode, the state of these entities is constant, i.e., they remain in God-resisting will and therefore cannot expect any change in their surroundings and external form. In the knowledge of eternity, however, matter is so arranged that the spiritual, which is most likely to weaken in its resistance, enlivens the outer edge of matter, which is why even the slight change, which takes place in an infinitely long time, is dimly recognizable to the human eye from outside, while the inside of matter remains unchanged and does not release what is bound in it until God’s will and power intervenes and destroys matter or allows it to be destroyed. Then the inner spiritual can also take the path to the light if it is willing. Once it has found the path to the light then it also pushes towards it, for even hard matter feels the benefit of the light and increasingly weakens its resistance to God. But the state of the spiritual in this matter is completely different from that in the softer deformation, in the plant and animal world, where life is visible to the human eye and therefore something essential is also recognized in it. For in this deformation the spiritual can already move and be active more freely, even if according to divine law. Hard matter, however, also harbours spirituality within itself, only lifeless because it is completely powerless and, as it were, bound by the outer shell. Something that is bound cannot move and therefore appears dead until it has burst the fetter. To a certain extent, spiritual substances fight against each other …. matter consists of immature spiritual substances which, when united, do not want to let the already more mature spiritual substance escape because it is their destiny to grant it a place to stay. The spiritual substance in matter already has a higher degree of intelligence, only it is disabled by its resistance to God and therefore cannot defend itself or free itself from the inconvenient fetter. But if matter is destroyed, then it escapes and takes on another form, because against God’s will it can neither use freedom nor feel it beneficial. If the act of destruction has taken place in accordance with divine will, then the spiritual substance will take on a form which signifies further development for it, whereas in the case of unplanned destruction through human evil will …. the spiritual substance will seek the same form again, despite the torment it endured in it, because all spiritual substance is subject to God’s law of compulsion before its embodiment as a human being. However, all matter must be regarded as a cover for spiritual substances which are to develop as long as this matter represents something useful, as long as it can still be used for things which fulfil a useful purpose. If this matter is now used by people for creations of all kinds, then the human being helps the spiritual in matter to serve and therefore to develop upwards, and that is why a person’s industrious work is inconceivably beneficial in a spiritual sense, because all spiritual in matter pushes towards the state of life, which is only possible in loosened forms after certain spiritual substances have come together for joint activity. The course of ascent development therefore proceeds in such a way that every deformation must be regarded as a shell of spiritual substance which constantly changes but which initially requires a long period of time until the state of activity, the state of life, sets in, but then the soul substances in the form increase, thus one can certainly speak of a soul which, however, may not be compared to a human soul because the latter unites all soul substances ….

(28.4.1947) And thus you must now imagine that everything you see is enlivened by spiritual entities, every entity is a miniature soul, countless of which form the human soul. Matter itself will also follow this course when its substances have matured to such an extent that they can now take up residence as beings in that which they themselves were before …. solid matter. There are therefore, as it were, two courses of development to be covered in the state of compulsion …. once as matter, but then also as an entity bound in matter, only that this second course of development is considerably faster, for matter is destroyed more quickly than it is totally dissolved, and as long as it is usable …. that is, it can be processed into things which have a useful purpose …. the spiritual in it does not escape either, only it is often without activity for a long time and therefore suffers. If it is then an inhabitant of the more life betraying outer form, then the latter will also undergo a more rapid process of decay, because the substances of the outer form are already more mature and soon need an outer form themselves in order to ascend further. All spiritual substances must travel the path through the whole of creation, otherwise they would not be able to live through the last stage in a human soul, for this soul is formed from all earthly creations in the smallest measure. Everything the human being is able to see is contained in his soul and so artfully put together that you will not stop looking and marvelling if you, as pure spiritual beings, look at your own soul …. You hear it but you don’t grasp it as long as you stay on earth, nevertheless, knowledge of it is given to you so that you, who are called to the teaching ministry in the last time before the end, will be properly informed, so that you can truthfully imagine the course of ascent development and also provide information if it is required of you. But the knowledge of it is not absolutely necessary for people who strive little spiritually and to whom therefore the commandment of love is to be preached above all so that they tackle their soul’s shaping. They should only know about their soul’s infinitely long path beforehand so that they are aware of the great responsibility they bear towards their soul ….

Amen

You never know how your end will happen, and therefore you should call upon God’s mercy every day that you might receive it in the hour of your death. Even if you live in accordance with God’s will your end can be difficult if it is to serve you to completely purify and liberate yourselves forever. God’s wisdom and love is yours until your last hour on this earth, and as long as your souls are still able to change you will be given the opportunity even at the hour of death. For this reason devoted people often have to suffer in the flesh and cannot find an explanation for it because they are unable to detect God’s love therein. And yet, divine love causes this suffering because it is the best means for the soul to acquire a degree of maturity within a short period of time which allows the light to permeate the soul in the beyond, and the soul will thank its Creator once it is free and recognises God’s great love and mercy. Thus all suffering has to be seen as evidence of God’s love, and even the end is blessed if it is accompanied by suffering, although it does not appear to the human being that way. The soul indeed separates itself from the body with pain, but immediately lifts itself into the kingdom of the blessed spirits. It not only leaves earth physically but also spiritually and also takes the body’s fully matured substances along, because every degree of suffering dissolves the cover which still encloses the soul. And the person who is still able to free himself completely from immature substances on earth will be blessed …. he will have used his earthly life for his deliverance and will no longer revolt against God’s will either.

In the hour of death he will certainly struggle for the peace of his soul but he will never consider his physical suffering to be unjustified, for his soul will know that the end is near, that his physical suffering will also come to an end and that the soul will derive benefit from it even if it is no longer able to convey this realisation to the body. The body, however, will separate itself from the soul as soon as it senses its perfection, because then it will have fulfilled its task of having served as an abode for this soul. The hour of death can be difficult for all of you but it can also be a blissful falling asleep in order to awaken in the kingdom of light if the soul needs no further suffering, if it has already found the union with God on earth and He then brings it home into His kingdom, into your Father’s house, in order to make you blissfully happy. But you do not know how your end will happen, and therefore pray to God for mercy, ask Him for His grace and strength if God still needs to afflict you, and you will also endure the hour of death. The body will suffer but the soul will joyfully leave the body and lift itself into the spheres of light ….

Amen

What I proclaim to you humans through seers and prophets must be taken seriously …. Such is My will, and if you want to comply with My will then you should not half-heartedly and indifferently accept what My love gives to you. But you are indifferent if you indeed listen to My Word yet fail to arrange your life in line with My predictions, if you do not seriously strive for a change in your character and fulfil My commandment of love. With My announcements I want to warn you not to waste your life, I want to admonish you to still make use of the time remaining to you until the end, I want to stimulate your spiritual aspiration and guide all your thoughts so that you fully mature while you still live on earth. But if you do not take My Word, My prophesies, seriously, you will let all these instructions pass your ears by unheeded and My admonitions and cautions will have been futile. And when the hour comes that you are called away you will only be able to claim a poor testimony, for you will have failed on earth by not taking hold of My loving Fatherly hand when it was offered to you. If you have a spiritual guardian you must also unconditionally entrust yourselves to him for he will surely guide you in the right direction. But now, during the time of the end, I Myself want to be your Leader and Guardian, and if you only grant Me a little trust you truly need no longer take care of yourselves, neither bodily nor spiritually, for I Myself will take care of you, you only have to make sure that you constantly accept strength from Me which guarantees you the path towards ascent. And you can only receive this strength in the form of My Word. So if I give you the knowledge about the forthcoming event it is a very great blessing for you, for then you will have the opportunity to gain My affection with your right way of life, to such an extent that I will never leave you again, that I will take hold of you and pull you up to the pinnacle.

However, I now make it a matter of specific urgency, because you don’t have much more time left to change your souls. And this is why I come close to and call you with every revelation, with every proclamation, and if you recognise the Father’s voice you will also respond to it, like little lost sheep you will pay attention to the voice of the good shepherd, you will follow His call and it will be to your greatest advantage. But anyone who does not take notice of My voice will hardly find contact with Me, and once the hour of the end has come he will be weak and not turn his eyes heavenwards because he will still be far too earthbound. And this is what I want to avert from you, I want to help you and therefore repeatedly send to you My Word from above and with it also the reason for My Word, so that you take it ever more seriously, so that you listen to and read it whenever the opportunity presents itself. Believe My Word, believe that you won’t have much time left until the end, so that you very seriously start your psychological task, so that you still receive many blessings from it, for the time is gravely serious and it is urgently necessary for you to try to imagine that the end will take you by surprise and you will not have time anymore for your actual earthly task. Listen to Me and believe My Word and it will always and forever fill you with strength, I Myself will be able to take care of you as soon as you look for Me in thought. And you will be able to master all difficulties because it is My will that much strength shall be sent to those who keep their faith in My might and love, and I will help them to progress spiritually ….

Amen

The strength of faith characterizes your maturity of soul, and your bond with Me will be the stronger the more spiritually advanced you are. Spiritual progress, however, consists of the realization of your relationship with Me, your earthly task and your aim, your destiny in the spiritual kingdom. Only the advanced human being will possess this knowledge, but then he will also be deeply devout, for recognizing Me as his father from eternity must also result in profound faith. And thus he must also be full of strength and able to accomplish every spiritual and earthly task, and he will now fully consciously want to be of service to Me, for the realization of Myself also increases his love for Me which determines him to offer himself to Me for service. And I accept him …. I require people who are of a certain spiritual maturity and of particular strong faith and firm will, for the task I give him requires both in order to be fulfilled. Only a strong faith will manage to let itself be instructed in an extraordinary way, and My direct instructions are necessary, for their task is to spread knowledge which only I can offer to them truthfully, which can only originate from Me and therefore reach My servant in an extraordinary way. But this knowledge can only be offered to the person who is already on a certain level of spiritual maturity, because knowledge is light and the supply of light can only be imparted after the fulfilment of conditions, one of which is profound, undoubted faith, which is also decisive for his way of life. I need such servants in the coming time and therefore train them for Me for a mission which is urgent because people are in great spiritual need. But the urgency of their work in the coming time also explains the care I give to all those who voluntarily place themselves at My disposal. How this care of Mine expresses itself will only become clear to you, who want to serve Me, after you have completed your mission, when you will realize how your path of life, your earthly fate, had to proceed because your mission was connected with it …. And you will recognize My love and concern for you, which always applies to you, even if a burden was seemingly imposed on you. I know your aim, your ability and your will, and I evaluate you accordingly, i.e. I give you the task which you can accomplish with My strength. And so that you request this strength you often have to travel difficult paths, yet they will always be passable if you walk them with Me, if you request My help and guidance and completely trustingly hand yourselves over to Me. For My gaze is wider than yours and I see you working for Me and My kingdom …. You will be trained for this mission, not only through My word but also through your daily experience, which shall mature you so that you will become efficient labourers for Me, so that you will speak in My name and bring the gospel to people. For it is the time of the end which shall be used for the salvation of souls which are in great spiritual hardship ….

Amen

A spiritual turning point can only be spoken of when a time of low level is replaced by a time when people are spiritually on a high level and closely united with God, when they develop progressively, in contrast to the time before, when there was only stagnation or decline. However, such a spiritual turning point cannot occur until the low has been reached, for this must result in the final separation of spiritually elevated and completely immature souls, for no paradisiacal state on earth is possible until this separation has taken place. But this will always be the beginning of a phase of development, otherwise God Himself could not dwell among His own. Consequently, there can be no doubt that the last end will soon come if the human being keeps an eye out and pays attention to his fellow human beings; the great earthly adversity must also be proof that the whole of humanity remains in a spiritually low state; and only a dissolution of everything that harbours spiritual substances can put an end to this state. And therefore the human being need not doubt that he will soon witness a work of destruction such as has never been experienced before …. For all signs point to it; the gaps in human knowledge will now be filled by God Himself, and according to human judgement the last day is not far off …. And yet the day and hour of the end remains hidden from man. But that a spiritual turning point is to be expected soon is evident from the fact that humanity has already reached the low point which necessitates a change into the opposite. If people were willing to change in order to remedy the spiritual low by virtue of their will, one could indeed speak of a spiritual ascent but never of a spiritual turning point. For the state which bears the character of a spiritual turning point must be completely opposite to the state before, and such a state can no longer be expected on this earth …. the state of a peaceful in-God life, which is a change in brightest light, i.e. clearest realization and deepest knowledge, a state in strength and bliss. And this must replace the opposite, darkness of spirit, ignorance and powerlessness and therefore also unhappiness. And these are the signs of a near end, that people live without God, without faith and without love they also walk in dark night, in error, and their weakness of will is unable to bring about a change. And therefore God puts an end to this state …. He dissolves the old earth and ends the life of all creatures on it …. He creates a new earth, new creations and embodies all spiritual beings according to their degree of development, and this means that the spiritual beings embodied on the old earth as human beings are transferred back into the hardest form, into matter, because they failed in their last test of earthly life, because they no longer recognize and acknowledge God and are therefore without light. On the new earth, however, a high degree of maturity will be found among people, for they will live in the most intimate union with God and bliss and peace ….

Amen

God’s adversary also disguises himself where he intends to make people fall and to persuade them to turn away from God. He likewise appears as a figure of light and dazzles people, so that they will no longer be able to recognise what is right and cannot see through his deceitful game. He is always to be found amid gullible people, i.e. those who thoughtlessly accept what is offered to them as truth, and who therefore don’t spend any thought on it when dark forces express themselves through the deceptive light of piety. Yet even this game of deceit can clearly be seen by someone who seriously looks for and desires the truth. Only a few, however, so value the truth that they scrutinise everything and only accept what seems credible to them. And thus these dark forces will eagerly endeavour during the last days to confuse people’s thinking by joining forces and working in unison in order to achieve phenomena which intend to simulate angels of light and yet are forces of darkness. They try to influence gullible people by imparting error to them and leading them on wrong paths and are also generally successful with them, because they don’t try to obtain clarity regarding important issues, because they allowed themselves to be instructed by uneducated teachers and thus accepted misguided teachings which lead away from God, Who is the eternal Truth Himself. People by and large lack the power of judgment, they are unable to distinguish error from truth, and thus they accept everything unconditionally without spending thought on it in order to discover and recognise the error with good will for truth. These figures of light can nevertheless be exposed by profoundly faithful people with an awakened spirit, which enables a person to see and hear clearly …. The knowledge of truth, which was imparted to him through the voice of the spirit, enables him to recognise every error as such, and thus he will reject both the error as well as the giver of it, whom he unmistakably recognises as a dark power, despite the fact that he conceals himself under the mask of a bearer of light, for the spirit of God teaches differently, and anything that does not concur with this spiritual knowledge can safely be dismissed and branded as a lie. Besides, these apparent figures of light will not be able to prove themselves before those who are filled by the spirit of God, for they will very quickly be seen through, since they speak without love, instead their intention is to turn people towards the world, if they are already on the spiritual path, and to prevent the others from recognising the right path, which necessitates a life of love.

Therefore pay attention to how such figures of light express themselves, pay attention whether they point to God Himself, whether they further direct communication with God or whether they exclude God, whether they want to see earthly actions to be achieved which do not contribute towards obtaining maturity of soul; pay attention to this and you will recognise and reject all spiritual beings which do not come from the kingdom of light, for anyone with the will for truth also infallibly recognises everything which opposes the truth, and he will acquire a bright and sharp vision, so that he can offer resistance and also lead his fellow human beings into the pure truth, if they are willing. Nevertheless, God’s adversary will have great power over gullible people, and those people who know the truth and recognise the dark forces will have to spend much effort to convince the former of the error. And this explains why phenomena, which do not originate from God, will be on the increase during the last days but which many people regard as divine revelations, where the adversary tries to win people over as an angel of light and thereby places them into profound darkness. For his followers don’t want to let go of the error, they resist if it is explained to them, and although it does not directly damage their souls, they are nevertheless unapproachable for the pure truth. And this is so extremely important, because truth alone leads to God and because every manifestation from the spiritual realm will be interpreted exactly as it is intended by God’s adversary, for his thoughts are based on people’s attitude, and he will always spread the error under the cover of piety and yet never draw attention to the end, so that people are prevented from preparing themselves for the end according to God’s will. And thus diligent effort should be made to fight against it since it is, after all, important to rescue the many people, who still live in darkness, from Satan’s claws ….

Amen

Don’t neglect to offer your soul the nourishment which secures its eternal life, provide it abundantly with nourishment, don’t slacken in your striving for perfection. Then you will also gain My pleasure, and My love will care for you and look after you, and you will lack nothing, physically and spiritually your needs will be covered, and you will stand in fullest truth, you will become knowledgeable and yet need no other teacher than Me, you will be able to come to Me with every question and I will never leave you without an answer. Therefore desire My word, for I make this a condition if you want to be satisfied with the bread of heaven, with the nourishment of the soul which is constantly at your disposal. Desire it, ask for it, and if it is offered to you, feast on it and constantly draw from the spring of life and you will receive strength and light …. All weakness will stay away from you and you will be full of wisdom …. And by this you will recognize that My gift is divine, you will recognize the value of My gift and you will be blessed that I take care of you in every spiritual adversity and also in every earthly distress. What I give to you is nothing new but the eternal truth, i.e., if it is to remain truth it must remain unchanged as it came forth from Me …. But human intellect changes much, it constantly seeks to improve. And since My gift makes every desire to improve unnecessary, it is understandable that only a change can be achieved which originates from Me as eternal truth. Thus it is also understandable that My word will not remain as it is and that it will always require purification if it is to be spread on earth as My word. And therefore I offer My word Myself again and again to those who hunger and thirst for the nourishment of the soul. And these will stand in truth, they will not need to fear receiving inadequate knowledge or misunderstanding it, because the transmission of pure truth is My will and My aim as long as people dwell on earth, because only truth can lead to eternal life and help the soul attain perfection …. And therefore I will always be a faithful companion to My servants on earth, I will guide them along paths where they meet people who hunger for My bread from heaven, who desire nourishment for their souls and whose life is an activity of love, which is why they also desire Me. I approach them Myself through My servants, I inform them about questions of the heart, I place the thoughts into their hearts so that they approach My servants for instruction, and then I Myself speak through them, and thus the hungry people receive the bread of heaven from Me Myself, the full truth, which is spiritual nourishment for their soul. And the soul will develop upwards, it cannot fall behind in its development if it receives the food from Me Myself, which I have blessed with My strength, which therefore can never remain ineffective. And where My servants can be diligently active bright light will soon illuminate the spiritual night and people will no longer be afraid of the darkness, for the morning has dawned for them which will soon be followed by the bright day where the sun’s light breaks through and chases away all darkness. And once the spiritual sun has risen for people there will be no more night, then the light will shine eternally and signify an infinite benefit for the soul. For its original state was brightest light and the darkness a result of sin against Me, a result of arrogance and turning away from Me …. But now it is eternally united with Me in love, and therefore it must also be inexpressibly happy. Therefore do not let the soul go hungry on earth, give it what it urgently needs …. spiritual nourishment, food and drink from the heavens, give it My word by mustering the will to receive it directly or indirectly …. And the soul will partake of Me, of My word, if your will is turned towards Me …. don’t let the most delicious things pass it by, don’t let the living water flow away without refreshing yourselves with it, draw and drink from the spring of life and be satisfied with the word which My love offers you. And if you want to be especially thoughtful then practice being able to hear Me Myself, listen within and pay attention to your thoughts and I will speak to you, subtly and quietly, yet you will recognize My voice, the voice of the good shepherd Who calls His sheep because He does not want to lose any of them. As My children you will recognize the father’s voice, for anyone who approaches Me with profound love I will incline towards him with My fatherly love, and the child will feel My love and be happy in possession of the truth it receives from Me, and it will always come closer to Me through the truth and finally unite with the eternal truth …. it has reached its aim and will be blissfully happy forever ….

Amen

Protect yourselves from impure thoughts, words and actions, and you will walk rightly before God. No commandment is given to you but only admonitions and warnings which are placed in your heart as the voice of conscience. You are in possession of free will and can therefore do whatever you want, and thus you can also disregard the commandment of love for God and your neighbour, even though it is a commandment. But in the same way you can also lead your way of life more or less in accordance with divine will, for this divine will sets the perfection of the soul as the final aim, and in order to achieve this the human being has to work on himself and discard everything which characterizes his imperfection. The soul must become master over the body, it must adapt its desire to its own, it must strive upwards, thus it must value spiritual goods more highly than earthly ones, it must overcome the world and strive for the spiritual kingdom. The simplest way to do this is love …. A loving person will always have more desire for spiritual good than for earthly pleasures and earthly possessions. Nevertheless, he will not completely overcome the world as long as he still lives in the midst of it. And this will not be counted as a sin, only as an obstacle to climbing the last rung of the ladder to heaven. And man himself must cope with this obstacle. God does not condemn him, but He helps him to free himself from desires and vices. He knows about people’s weaknesses and takes them into account because He loves people and a loving father grants his children what will not harm their souls. And so the human being will also have weak hours and God will forgive him, He will not condemn him for his weakness. He does not sin, he just does not strive for the height if he pays too much tribute to earth, and the soul’s work afterwards has to start the more intensively the more he belonged to the world, i.e. gave fulfilment to his body. But now the measure also speaks, for as soon as earthly desire outweighs spiritual activity the human being deprives himself of God’s blessing, and then he lacks the strength to ascend ….

(14.5.1947) But anyone who remains united with God in the midst of the whirlpool of the world, who does not miss any opportunity and is constantly intent on appealing for God’s grace and help, who comes to Him for advice with every request, God will not abandon him in hours of adversity of body and soul. And His aid is love …. Where love is there is no sin, but where love is missing the human being will have to watch himself and his thoughts. He should constantly control himself, he should not make himself a slave to his urges, he should educate himself to love, for everything that testifies to love is noble and good, and what lacks love can easily become sin. But God sees people’s hearts and always guides the thoughts of His own, He will not allow them to fall into sin …. but He will also be a lenient judge for the weak who love Him ….

Amen

The day of judgement is the conclusion of a redemptive epoch which was extremely significant in the development of the spiritual. For in this epoch Jesus Christ was on earth, the emissary of God, a son of light, Who descended from the spiritual kingdom to redeem humanity. The development of the spiritual had come to a standstill, there was no more progress, there was no more striving towards God, towards the light, towards the eternal truth. And love had grown cold among people …. There was a spiritual low on earth which required help, otherwise everything spiritual would be lost again to the one who had been the cause of the great darkness in the spiritual world. The help was urgently needed and could only be given in the form of a ray of light from heaven …. A being of light had to travel the path on earth in order to instruct people and at the same time exemplify to them the right earthly change as proof that what God demanded of people who wanted to liberate themselves from the power of His adversary could be fulfilled. And Jesus was such a being of light according to His soul, while His body was human with all the weaknesses and impulses that characterize human nature, which He had to fight against just like every other human being. His soul certainly strove towards God without knowing its outcome, for as a human being it was deprived of all recollection, the man Jesus had to take the same path on earth, otherwise His act of salvation could not be valued as such, otherwise it would not have been a sacrifice of atonement which He offered to God for the sins of humanity. And thus the man Jesus had to wrestle and fight …. He had to endure the same battle against darkness which is demanded of all people, which no-one can be spared who wants to become eternally blissful. And He emerged victorious from the battle against darkness and thus provided people with the evidence that victory is possible if it is seriously striven for. For although His soul yearned for God, for its true home, His body nevertheless had to pay tribute to the earthly, and every progress was an act of free will, every increased degree of maturity was the result of overcoming the world, the reward of the battle against Himself, against all earthly desires and renunciations of earthly joys and pleasures. And this will was brought forth by the man Jesus …. He set Himself free and sought and found complete union with God already on earth. And He simultaneously redeemed the whole of humanity from the bondage of death, for God accepted the sacrifice which a weak human being offered to Him for the whole of humanity …. And so this redemption period was of immense significance for humanity as well as for the spiritual, which still languishes in matter and still has to cover the long path of development. This spiritual feels the relief and pushes towards its embodiment as a human being in order to be able to make use of the graces of the work of redemption for the purpose of final redemption from form. But the spiritual embodied as a human being pays little or no attention to this and lets a time of grace pass by which it should and could utilize with the greatest success. Humanity does not grasp the significance of this epoch and remains in sin and guilt …. And thus a termination of the redemption epoch granted to the spiritual for upward development is foreseen and the day is determined from eternity when account will be demanded from the living and the dead …. the day of judgment, when all will have to answer for their attitude towards Jesus Christ and for their way of life; when they will receive their reward or punishment according to merit …. And you humans are approaching this last day with giant strides …. Be aware of the immense importance of this and make use of the extremely short time for your salvation. Take refuge in Jesus Christ and ask Him for help, and He will still redeem you in the last hour if you want to let Him redeem you, if you believe in His mission and acknowledge Him as the son of God, Who came down from above to set people free from satan’s power …. Believe in Him and ask Him for strength and you will not need to fear the last day, it will not be a judgement but a redemption for you if you only commend yourselves to Him and His grace ….

Amen

The fact that the world has to renew itself is also based on natural law, for everything unsuitable has forfeited its right to be and has to be replaced by something better. Whether and when it is unsuitable can only be judged by Me alone, for even works which seemingly do not fulfil their purpose according to human opinion have a certain degree of suitability, and I allow these works to exist on My own initiative as long as My wisdom recognizes it as good. But according to human judgement the time of dissolution of unsuitable creations would not have come for a long time yet, because they don’t know about the meaning and purpose of the works of creation in general as well as about humanity’s state which completely deviates from the aim which has been set for it since eternity. The human being has become the most unsuitable work of creation due to his own will; he uses neither vitality nor his will to carry out what is his actual purpose during his earthly life; he lives along, not respecting My commandments, not respecting his task as a human being and not respecting his creator and sustainer of eternity. He can no longer recognize Me because his gaze is turned towards that which belongs to My adversary, because his mind is only directed towards the world which was meant to help him attain maturity of soul, which was given to him for the testing of his will and which has now directed his striving and desire entirely earthly. Thus the means of attaining perfection have become futile, the human being himself has forfeited his right to exist, for he, as the most highly developed work of creation on this earth, no longer strives for ascent but stands still or regresses in his development. And if I want to prevent a complete sinking into the deepest depths then I have to end the state, I have to dissolve and reshape what no longer corresponds to its purpose, for unspeakable much spiritual strives for the last deformation as a human being on earth, and this must be given the opportunity to develop upwards. The human being, however, must return to matter that has long been overcome, because he himself strives for it with all greed of the body, with every fibre of the heart. And this requires the total dissolution of the existing and the reshaping of works of creation which correspond to the state of maturity of the spiritual, which is to embody itself in it again. Only I can clearly recognize people’s state of maturity, but the spiritually awakened human being also sees the low level of development if he attentively observes people’s behaviour, and he knows that the hour of dissolution will soon have come. He can also draw conclusions from the destruction caused by human will, he knows about the meaning and purpose of creation and also about the creator’s failure to use it, and it will be understandable to him that and why the destructions could take place and that they are only the foreshadowing of the great destruction through My will, which will then be followed by the complete dissolution of earth in a short time …. For the law must be fulfilled, everything that is contrary to My law of eternal order must disintegrate into itself when the time has come ….

Amen

People who make love the guiding principle of their daily life will never get lost even if they are mentally still on the wrong track and reject the pure truth. They are influenced by forces which fight especially hard for such souls, and since their will has not yet made a clear decision, because the person does not fully consciously aspire towards God, these forces try to influence him mentally. And they succeed to the extend that the person’s intellectual activity is now less active in regards to discovering the truth, that the person has little will to come closer to the truth. Nevertheless, love protects him from being led astray. Due to his actions of unselfish neighbourly love he has already given himself to God, Who will never let him fall again. Love is the greatest power and is fought in vain by all lesser forces. If, therefore, a person lives in love, the struggle for the soul by those forces is in vain because God keeps hold of the soul due to His large claim to it. He is certain to recognise the truth as soon as he accepts the advice to form a mental opinion about the spiritual information offered to him.

When a loving person thinks about it he will also come to the right conclusion, and he will be able to separate error from truth and consciously strive towards the latter. Therefore a loving person can never go astray because he is protected by love, because he is united with God through love and will not deny Him. And thus God also manifests Himself to him by making Himself perceptible in a way which stimulates the person’s thoughts and he awakens from spiritual lethargy. A loving person’s spirit wants to be active; it awakened to life through love but is not yet allowed to work as long as the human being’s will is still undecided, as long as the person resists contemplating questions concerning the spiritual domain. But with the slightest change of will the person’s spirit starts to function and puts the human being’s thinking into order, it gives him explanations from within, it gives him power of perception, and thus first draws the soul and then the body to itself, and its influence will truly not be negligible. A loving person is never lost because God holds on to him and does not leave him to His adversary. However, the human being must have the will to take the path to God …. And this path will be shown to him. God truly guides the fate of every individual person so that he will always have the opportunity to enter the right path. He will meet him so obviously, because due to his life of love God is very close to the person, that He can always be recognised, and anyone who genuinely seeks Him will find Him. He will recognise truth as such and earnestly desire it, and his soul will be saved for eternity ….

Amen

You should sacrifice to Me what is dear to you on earth, that is, you should voluntarily hand it over to Me and leave it up to Me what I want to give you. Only then will your love for Me be so profound that I can return it so that you will be eternally blessed. Your will to sacrifice testifies to your love for Me, for as long as you still cling to earthly things your love is only small. I want to be king of your heart, I want to occupy the first place in it, I want to reign in you forever and ever, because I want to completely fill you with My strength of love and this can only happen if you banish everything else from your heart, if you only desire Me alone and grant Me all rights over you. And I want to make you happy temporally and eternally, for My love is more delicious than all earthly things, My love lifts you into spiritual realms from where you will never return to earth again, because bliss is there without measure and you learn to recognize the futility of earthly goods and pleasures. Make yourselves My own and despise the world …. Don’t let yourselves be beguiled by a sham happiness which is without permanence but which distances you from Me. Keep your heart pure and prepare it to receive Me, Who wants to move in with you to take up My kingly rule. And thus gain victory over yourselves by sacrificing everything to Me, happiness and earthly prosperity, and only desire to exchange Me for it …. I truly don’t want to take anything from you but only give it to you, and thus My advice is only based on deepest love, for you don’t yet realize what My taking up residence in your hearts means, you don’t yet know about the overwhelming feeling of happiness which My love triggers in you once you have completely become Mine. But only then will you be able to grasp this when you no longer give room to any other thoughts of desire than to be united with Me. And therefore I constantly draw you to Myself, I withhold everything from you so that you learn to overcome, so that you voluntarily renounce what seems desirable to you, so that you sacrifice it for My sake in order to thereby attain My love …. Give it to Me voluntarily so that I don’t need to take it from you and inflict pain on you for your own sake. And I will give you wealth which cannot be taken away from you; I will give you the happiness of uniting with Me which can never be surpassed in beatitude and which you should therefore strive for by completely renouncing what delights your heart on earth. Sacrifice everything to Me and exchange My love for it …. and you will gain inconceivable profit for eternity ….

Amen

Your path is difficult and full of thorns, yet strength and grace are at your disposal without measure. And thus even the most difficult path can be successfully covered if only you make use of My gift of grace which supplies you with strength in abundance. I Myself have marked it out for you, and since everything is based on My love and wisdom you can truly accept the days as they approach you, you need not feel depressed but can constantly hope for My help and My strength flowing towards you if only you want to use it. You only need to believe in My great love for you, then everything will be bearable for you; if you feel supported by My love even the most difficult things will seem easy to you, for then you will know that for the sake of your soul’s salvation you have to travel the earthly path which I have recognized as successful for you, and then you will be overcome by peace even in the most difficult situation in life, for you will always feel Me beside you and trustingly lean on Me. A level path will never lead you upwards, and every ascent is difficult as long as you lack strength, but if the strength from Me fills you then you will also be able to effortlessly overcome every obstacle. But you can make use of the strength from Me at any time if you accept My word, if you refresh yourselves at the source of life, if you let Me speak to you and desire My gift from heaven …. if you receive Me Myself in the word into your heart. Then all weakness will fall away from you, you will trustingly commend yourselves to Me and I will carry you over all dangers of life, over cliffs and rocks, to the height …. And all suffering and sorrow will fall away from you, for with My help everything can be overcome, with My help you will safely reach your aim. Therefore constantly draw new strength from My word, accept it with a hungry heart, let yourselves be fed and watered by Me and know that My word is the source of strength for eternity, because I Myself am the word and you can always draw strength from Me in all abundance, as I have promised you ….

Amen
