An everlasting inner struggle is necessary in order to attain strong faith, and this presupposes a strong will to be able to accept what teachings are imparted to people, i.e., to be convinced of its truth. A right faith can be gained, consequently it is also to be regarded as a gift, yet the human being must also be willing to accept the gift, thus again his will must participate, otherwise the human being cannot believe. Wanting to believe necessarily also results in being able to believe, the will alone is decisive as to the strength with which faith seizes it. In your deepest inner being you must gain the conviction of the correctness of what is demanded of you to believe, only then can you say: I believe …. But in order to be able to gain this conviction the human being also has to do a certain amount of work beforehand, otherwise this faith can never come to life in him. He must express the will to believe through his way of life, for the will alone, without the deed, is not fully effective and therefore not effective either. But his way of life should be an activity of unselfish neighbourly love. Through this he now connects himself with God, in Whom he is taught to believe. The connection with God lets him feel His nearness, he becomes aware of a strength which flows through him, even if he cannot express this feeling. But as soon as he is united with God through activity in love, the conviction will also arise in him that there is a being full of love, wisdom and power, and he can now consciously say: I believe in this being …. Then faith will have come alive in him. Furthermore, he must take a stand on all spiritual knowledge which is offered to him, which is demanded of him to believe. And again it is love which works in him that his spirit mentally gives him enlightenment from within about what he desires. Thus the thought material imparted to him is made so understandable to him by his spirit or the unacceptable is revealed to him that he can now either accept or reject with conviction, and then one can speak of living faith again. And thus faith in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world is to be understood in the same way, that the human being first has to receive the knowledge of it, that he has to mentally process it and then take a stand on it himself, that he can only do so if he practices love, if he follows Him, so that through love the spirit can develop which guarantees him right thinking; and fully consciously the human being now acknowledges Jesus Christ …. He believes in Him and now surrenders himself to Him in this faith …. Faith has to be won, the human being has to have the good will to be able to believe and now do everything that earns him a deep unshakeable faith …. And for this he must pray for strength and grace so that his will will not flag, so that he will walk on earth according to God’s will …. as soon as he has already gained faith in God. God knows the slightest stirring of the heart, and where He finds the will which turns towards good, there He will also direct His grace which will then be accepted and utilized according to the person’s will. But the will alone is decisive as to which measure of grace it uses, and the human being’s will will also prompt him to pray, which will never remain unanswered but will secure him an increased grant of grace which guarantees his ability to recognize and thus his convinced faith.

Amen

You must want to fulfil whatever task is set for you, then you will also receive the strength to be able to do it. And you must be aware at all times that you have a special task to fulfil which also requires a great deal of strength and therefore you have to be in special grace, but this always requires your will. But the task assigned to you corresponds to the will which God foresaw from eternity and therefore also shapes your earthly fate such that it adapts to your task and your work for the kingdom of God will always be achievable in every situation in life into which you are placed according to God’s eternal will. Even if it sometimes seems as if your activity for the kingdom of God is impracticable, God knows about your will, He knows about the urgency of your activity for Him in view of the great spiritual adversity; He has no other aim than to help people in this adversity, and anyone who wants to help Him in this on earth He accepts into His service and also assigns him his field of activity where he can be successfully active. If a person wants to work for God on earth then he will always be accepted as His labourer, as His servant who faithfully serves Him, and then he will also cover his path of life such that the spiritual work will always result from the respective circumstances, as it is God’s will. The human being need only trustingly hand himself over to His guidance and constantly think about his work. He must not become lukewarm and sluggish and pay tribute to the world if it entices him. But anyone who wants to serve God has lost the world’s power over him, and he will withstand its temptations because God will no longer let him fall who has offered himself to Him for service, because his task is so tremendously important in the last days before the end. For people do not recognize God, and even the seekers often take the wrong path, the leaders and callers do not respect them, and an unspeakable amount of strength is lost because it remains unused …. Even the power of the divine word is dissipated without finding the right vessel which is provided open …. And it is of particular urgency to place people into the blessing of the divine word, the word which is conveyed to earth from above through God’s great love, which testifies to His might and glory and His greater than great love and wisdom, which gives notice of the eternal plan of salvation, of God’s merciful love for the unredeemed. The knowledge of this is so important in the last days, for it gives man the strength to resist when the last test of faith is demanded of him. And to spread this divine word is the task of the one who wants to serve God on earth. And wherever his path takes him he will always have the opportunity to make His word accessible to people, for the strength of the word is indispensable for every individual because the last days require extraordinary strength if the human being is to persevere and remain faithful to God. And this is why God forms light and strength bearers for Himself on earth …. People who can receive His word directly and pass it on. And He will always give them the opportunity to work in His will, because He knows the will of His servants on earth and will always bless them for their will ….

Amen

I have given you a commandment that you should love one another, and if you keep this commandment you fulfil My will. But I have not made your maturity of soul dependent on the fulfilment of earthly commandments, which, however, is clearly taught to people. But it is far better to disregard such humanly decreed commandments than to obey them without remembering My commandment of love, for I don’t value the former even though they are scrupulously obeyed. It is of such great importance that people are enlightened as to what My will consists of and what is pleasing in My sight. For they have long since ceased to have a standard for this, and they do not recognize their spiritual shortcomings. Therefore it is advisable to comply with My commandment with all diligence and perseverance, to make My will their own and now work on themselves so that My love can permeate them and they will only accept My will.

(23.5.1947) The more the human being makes My will the guideline for his way of life the more he conforms to My nature, whereas the fulfilment of humanly issued commandments does not result in a change of his nature. But My will is to fulfil the commandment of neighbourly love, by which he also testifies to his love for Me at the same time. And this neighbourly love should always and constantly be practiced …. A person can shape himself into love, he can be so permeated by love for his neighbour that it will cause him to be constantly active, that it will therefore be the driving force of his thinking, speaking and acting. Then he will also be an example to his fellow human beings, he will not only exemplify to them the right life on earth which is pleasing to Me but the effect of his life of love will also be recognizable …. He will be filled by My spirit, that is, he will receive truthful knowledge from Me and be able to pass it on to his fellow human beings. But the effect of active neighbourly love is at the same time evidence of increasing maturity of soul and also proof of the significance of fulfilling My commandment of love. People do not take My commandment seriously enough, and yet it is the most important thing of their earthly existence, for their whole life in eternity depends on its fulfilment. So what is more understandable than that I gave this commandment to My disciples with the instruction to go into the world and teach all nations, to enlighten them about the effect of a life of love and the bad consequences of unkindness, so that they could reach maturity of soul while still on earth? I Myself preached love on earth, I Myself exemplified a life of love to them, and I Myself demonstrated to them the wisdom and miraculous power I attained through love …. And I admonished all who took it seriously to follow Me …. Yet people do not comply with it, yet with fanatical zeal they observe what people have added to My commandment of love but which has not the slightest connection with unselfish neighbourly love. And they consider My commandments unworkable …. and thereby prove to themselves that they don’t believe in the truth of My word, in My wisdom and My love, otherwise they would have to accept and also obey every word from My mouth without doubt. What I demand of people must always and forever also be feasible and able to be accepted by all people. And only free will can prevent them from practicing the unselfish neighbourly love I demand. And therefore the human being should first inform himself of My will, he should make it his own, thus give up his own will and completely merge into My will, but then he will also be able to carry it out, and that in every situation of life, because My commandment is not only given to individual people but to everyone, to the whole of humanity, which lives far away from love and is therefore also in greatest ignorance, because knowledge is only the result of a life of love which I have made a commandment to those who want to ascend and stand in brightest light ….

Amen

God’s grace and evidence of love during the last days can fully compensate people for the distress and suffering of this time, for their rapid ascent will be certain if they make good use of the gifts of grace and strive for the maturing of their soul. It will be the time of which is written, that God will be with His Own in spirit until the end; it will be the time when people will see Him coming in the clouds, when the connection between heaven and earth will become evident, not just in people’s imagination, but beings of light will be active on earth and spread light in daily life, and men will be taught from above, when God Himself descends to earth in the Word, handing the bread from heaven to His Own, when people will constantly be able to draw from the source of life, since God Himself will offer them the drink of life to strengthen them ….

During this time someone will become known who is destined to be the last messenger before the coming of the Lord, who, as His forerunner, will announce Him and fearlessly tell people the truth, although he will be in danger of being seized. But he no longer cares about the world and will gladly exchange his mortal life for eternal life. Therefore he will not fear the world, for he knows that the end is near and what is about to happen to people who do not believe it …. His emergence, too, is an exceptional grace, because he will constantly remind people of the approaching end and encourage them to improve their souls, thus directing their attention towards eternity. He will also possess extraordinary strength so that he will be able to heal the sick and help where help is needed even though it appears impossible to people, because he will lead an exemplary life of love and be filled by the spirit of God. God Himself will work through him, and anyone who listens to him will hear God Himself. He will hear God’s Word through a human mouth, but just as it has come from Him …. And this time has arrived, the final time of grace, which can bring much success to people who strive for perfection. And even if they have to endure untold earthly suffering they will benefit as long as they make use of the blessings; for then they will know that the end is near, because they will recognise in him the forerunner of the Lord and will joyfully expect the Lord Himself. And He will soon appear to save His Own from utmost hardship and lead them to a land of peace, as He has promised ….

Amen

You have a mission to fulfil, just like My first disciples on earth, whom I sent out into the world to proclaim the gospel to people. But anyone who administers an office on My behalf must also have the ability to do so from Me, and thus you, as My servants on earth, must be trained for this office, you must be very active as My disciples of the last days, for again it is a matter of bringing the gospel to people …. Consequently, you must, so to speak, receive from Me what you are to convey to your fellow human beings again. And this task requires activity of the spirit, which slumbers in the human being as a spark of My divine spirit until, brought to awakening through a life of love, it now wants to express itself, and its expressions can be accepted as unconditional truth. The working of the spirit depends on the will of the human being himself. Not everyone is granted the grace, however, not because I consider one less than the other but because the grace of working through the spirit is not requested or the divine gift of grace is not respected and yet this is the most delicious thing that can be offered to people on earth as My gift. A gift has to be accepted with a joyful heart, it has to be appreciated and valued accordingly, above all an open heart has to be willing to let the flow of grace flow into it, that is, the human being has to want God to work in him and make himself worthy of My working …. Then My spirit will pour out upon the person who is chosen for a mission on earth because he has voluntarily offered himself to Me. This outpouring of the spirit took place after My ascension into heaven as a prelude to My disciples’ activity, so that they could now fulfil their task and pass on the pure word which I Myself taught on earth. In order to proclaim this word of Mine My disciples first had to be instructed, they had to have knowledge at their disposal so that they could give the truthful clarification as an answer to every question addressed to them …. So they themselves had to stand in the truth …. And this truth imparts My spirit to you humans ….

(26.5.1947) All of you can become receptacles of My spirit, I will pour out My spirit upon all of you if you are willing to shape yourselves into receptacles through loving activity. For I Myself am love and My spirit is the strength of My love, and thus the vessel into which My strength wants to overflow must also be love, the heart must be willing and able to love, and for this the human being must shape himself …. This is My demand, otherwise I can never work in you …. This is a teaching I gave to My servants on earth which they should spread amongst their fellow human beings in order to induce them to likewise make the working of the spirit within themselves possible, for where I can work through My spirit the ascent upwards is guaranteed, where I can work there is light, and where there is light there is also life …. I want to give you humans eternal life, therefore I send you My servants on earth whom you shall listen to; for they are My disciples, My disciples of the last days, who are chosen by Me again because I have recognized them as suitable workers, I have hired them for an important activity shortly before the end …. My gospel is to be carried out into the world again. My wisdom recognizes the urgency and My love wants to bring help where there is great spiritual need. I Myself want to speak to people and need you, who are willing to serve Me, to do so. And I will first work in you before I can introduce people to the truth through you. I will remain with you until the end …. Humanity certainly knows about the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples, yet it no longer knows that I want to make all people happy with it and that only the will of the individual determines whether My spirit can be effective in him. And therefore you, My disciples, should inform them, you should let Me speak through the spirit within you, you should pass on what you hear, what you receive from the spiritual kingdom as direct emanation of Myself …. In the last days before the end you should let Me Myself work through you, for I need organs through which I Myself can express Myself so that My own will be strengthened in their faith and those who are still distant from Me or weak-willed will be able to gain faith. For the end will soon be here and the time of grace will have expired, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ….

Amen

Only a person who voluntarily offers himself to God to work for the kingdom of God can be equal to a great spiritual task, for God has the will which also provides him with the strength. The will to work spiritually is an absolute guarantee that he will be called upon for such a task, because God needs many labourers for His vineyard but only very few want to accept it. But it can never be imposed on a person without his will, for the training for this office is a special grace which guarantees ascent development, thus the human being would also ascend without his will, which, however, is not permissible if he is to become perfect one day. And furthermore, such a task can only be carried out by a person who has a certain degree of maturity, and this degree of maturity only guarantees the working of the spirit, just as it also results in a complete devotion to God, a submission to God’s will, and one always has to complement the other. Submission to God’s will, however, always means thinking, speaking and acting in a way which is pleasing to God and, understandably, an abundance of strength, so that the human being’s will completely subordinates itself to divine will and the human being is now able to accomplish anything with the help of divine strength and can also carry out a spiritual task very easily.

(28.5.1947) Only the human being must offer himself to God for this task. He must not have been influenced in any way by spiritual forces, neither for nor against his decision. Then he himself takes a test of will which has an extremely favourable effect on his soul. Then he has already passed the tests of earthly life and could depart from earth if he were not needed as a co-worker in the redemption of erring people whom he would like to help in their adversity due to his urge to love. For the will turned towards God and the love for one’s neighbour shape the human being in such a way that the spirit of God descends upon him. Only a person filled with the spirit of God has spiritual wealth to the extent that he can carry out a mission …. to instruct his fellow human beings in accordance with the fullest truth. This mission is extremely important in the last days before the end, so that God will train every servant who voluntarily offers his services to Him. He will place each one in the place where he can work according to his maturity, each one will be a recipient of strength according to his will of love and his task, for these can be very different. Yet God will always bless His servants and assign them the field of work according to their maturity of soul, according to their will and according to their love ….

Amen

He Who allowed Himself to be crucified for you humans, Whose love also wants to help you carry every earthly cross if only you acknowledge Him and want to burden Him with your cross. For every person who is in pain, who flees to Him in his worries and suffering, asking Him for His support and firmly trusting in His help, has mercy on Him …. “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you ….” These are His words which fill your heart with love and comfort, which you should recall in every distress of body and soul …. “I will refresh you ….” And thus He will take everything heavy from you, He will help you carry it so that you will no longer feel the burden. For His word is truth, and only firm faith in it is the prerequisite that you will find help in suffering and adversity, both spiritually and earthly. And anyone who takes refuge in Him, who places himself under His cross and calls upon Him as redeemer of the world, will soon be helped, for this is the merit of the man Jesus, that He offered all His suffering and pain to God for suffering humanity, that He was willing to offer a sacrifice of atonement …. that He, as the purest being of light, handed Himself over to the henchmen and executioners who, due to their affiliation with satan, caused Him much torment, because His purity inwardly rebelled against the black souls of His tormentors. Yet He drank the cup of suffering to the full and thus offered God a sacrifice of atonement for the whole of humanity, which was now able to make use of the exceeding gift of grace, which can place all burdens on Him and find a willing cross-bearer at any time if only it believes in Jesus Christ as redeemer and son of God. But He calls out to all believers: “He who loves Me, let him take up his cross and follow Me ….” Whoever shapes himself into love like Him will not be too oppressed by the cross, because following Jesus also secures the presence of God for the human being, Who is in every work of love …. following Jesus …. is present ….

Amen

Dark forces always oppose the divine principle of love and thus have a negative effect on the spiritual which is on earth in free will. They seek to induce it into unkindness, but just as they also trigger instincts in people under the guise of love which pull them down and harden the souls’ shell instead of melting it. And people who have made it their principle to fulfil the divine will are constantly harassed by such dark forces. For the divine will is presented to them as impracticable, so that the human being gets into mental conflicts if he is supposed to love God above all else and his neighbour and at the same time deny his fellow human being a service of love which is also a joy for himself. The dark forces are exceedingly zealous in misleading the thoughts of him who wants to make God his own …. And yet, God’s commandment of love can also be completely fulfilled by people who are exclusively spiritually active as soon as they only have the firm will to belong to God and to serve Him. Then they will be guided by His father’s hand and truly the right path, so that they can constantly give love and are also permeated by His love themselves, which again takes effect in loving activity for their neighbour. Thus a high spiritual aim can be pursued, thoughts can be spiritually directed, love can always and constantly be practiced, and yet the human being can also make his fellow human being happy earthly and also be allowed to receive in giving …. And he will not disregard divine will, he will submit himself to it and, as a proof of God’s love, also be allowed to be happy on earth without interrupting his spiritual striving, for God Himself has taken over the guidance of his life, He will know how to prevent what could seriously harm the spiritually striving person’s soul …. but just as He also distributes His gift of grace on earth to those who are His through their will and love for Him. Anyone who wants to do what is right before God cannot sin, even though the forces of darkness would like to tempt him to do so, for God places Himself protectively between the human being and these forces; He is so close to the human being that the principle of love cannot be shaken, since love determines all thought and action and therefore everything the person does who strives to fulfil God’s will is also good. For this is decisive, that the human being lives in love …. then God will also bestow His love upon him and not let him fall ….

Amen
